Seiya walked Usagi home. They were silent, but it was a happy silence. When they reached Usagi's house, Seiya bent to kiss her, but Usagi stopped him.

"I have to talk to Mamoru-chan first" She said, her eyes sad. "I'm not going to hurt him like that." Seiya nodded in understanding.

"See you later, hey Odango?" He said, and Usagi smiled as he walked off into the rain. She skipped inside, much happier then normal. When she reached her room however, and saw the phone beside her bed, her heart sank.

'It has to be done sooner or later' She thought sadly, and with a beating heart, picked up the phone and dialed.

"Moshi moshi" Mamoru's voice sounded happy. Usagi dreaded changing that.

"Um, Mamoru-chan, I have to talk to you. Can I come round?" She said. Mamoru thought he heard something in her voice, but tried to dismiss it.

"Sure you can come round Usako. When do you have to ask?" Usagi didn't reply to his question, just said bye and hung up. It was only after she hung up that Mamoru realized that she hadn't called him 'Mamo-chan'. He started to worry.

Usagi stood outside Mamoru's apartment, her hand raised to knock, but Mamoru opened the door first.

"Usako, you're drenched" He said, looking at her.

"It's raining outside, and I walked" She said quietly. "Can I come in?" Mamoru stood back silently, allowing the blonde girl inside. She sat on the couch, and Mamoru sat next to her.

"What's up?" He asked frowning, and Usagi started to cry.

"I'm so sorry Mamoru-chan. I know that we loved each other as Endymion and Serenity, and that we're supposed to build Crystal Tokyo together, and I'm so sorry, but I can't" Usagi said in a rush, trying not to look at him.

"What? Usako, slow down, I can't understand you" Mamoru said, frowning harder.

"Mamoru-chan, for a while now, I've been having dreams, nightmares. But they stopped… when Seiya came back" Usagi tried to talk slowly this time. Mamoru thought he could see where this was going.

"I do love you Mamoru-chan, but you're like a brother, not a lover. I'm so sorry. I wanted to be the one to tell you, so you wouldn't be hurt as much as if you heard it from someone else. I know I can't stop the pain, but maybe I can dilute it." Usagi's eyes still refused to meet Mamoru's. He was silent for a long time. Usagi waited anxiously, and finally he spoke.

"As long as you're happy Usako." Mamoru's voice was soft, but the words unmistakable. Usagi looked up, her eyes shining with hope. "If he… or she's what you want, them I will let you go" He smiled at her. "But promise me that you'll still be my friend?" Usagi nodded, her eyes filling with tears again, but this time tears of happiness.

"Of course Mamo-chan! We'll always be friends!" She hugged him, and stood up. "It's getting late, I better get home" Mamoru nodded, and Usagi bid him goodbye, exiting the apartment. She skipped all the way home.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Usagi and Seiya tried to keep their relationship a secret, but Rei found out quickly, and the others followed. Much to Usagi's surprise, they were happy with her choice.

"I could see that something wasn't right with you" Ami said, smiling happily.

"We all could, and it tore us apart that you wouldn't talk about it. That you were so miserable and we couldn't do anything to help." Makoto continued.

"We only care about you're happiness Usagi-chan. As long as you're happy, then we are too. Of course, if he doesn't treat you right" Minako said, letting her threat hang in the air, glaring at Seiya. He just laughed.

"Odango will be fine with me" He said, wrapping his arm around her shoulders protectively. Minako smiled.

"Now if I can convince Yaten to be like that with me" She looked over at the sliver haired beauty with wicked intentions, making her friends laugh.

"What?" Yaten asked, completely oblivious, making her friends laugh louder. Yaten blushed, finally catching on. "Drop it Minako-chan"

"Call me Mina-chan" Minako said, winking, and Yaten blushed harder, turning away. He muttered to himself as Taiki dropped down beside him.

"When are you going to admit it?" He asked, and Yaten looked at him blankly.

"Admit what?"

"That you like her." Yaten went red again.

"I don't!" He stammered, and Taiki grinned.

"I'm just returning the advice you gave me" He said, and Yaten frowned.

"When?"

"You were talking to Seiya, and I overheard you. I'm good like that." Taiki shrugged. "Just tell her already. You have proof right there" He nodded his head towards Hakumei and Nyra, who were playing with Hikaru on the shrine steps, his words echoing Seiya's.

"I have no idea what you're talking about" Yaten said adamantly, refusing to say anything more. Taiki shook his head, and left the Star Senshi alone with his thoughts. His green eyes watched Minako as she went over to the three children, bringing with her a ball. She started a game of catch between them, her face alive with delight as she watched her children. Yaten had to admit that they did resemble them both a bit. Hakumei and Nyra had his sliver hair, and Minako's blue eyes. Realizing what he was thinking, Yaten shook his head vigorously.

'I'm female!' He thought adamantly. 'Not at the moment, but it's my true form. Maybe Taiki and Seiya have forgotten, but I haven't. I am female' The more he tried to convince himself however, the less it worked. His eyes continued to follow the three children and Minako, and he sighed. Getting to his feet, he walked towards the blonde girl. The others in the group stopped what they were doing to watch, even the three future children. Minako, wondering what was happening, turned around as Yaten reached her. Opening her mouth, whatever she was about to say was cut off as the silver haired Bishounen pressed his lips to hers, claiming them. Everyone around them let out a great cheer, and Minako turned red, trying to pull away. Yaten would not let her however, until they both rediscovered the fact that humans, and some non-human aliens needed air to breathe. Pulling back, the blond girl and silver-haired male were panting, both bright red.

"Y-Yaten?" Was all Minako could stutter at him, and Yaten shrugged.

"You owe me 500 yen" Seiya's voice could be heard loudly, and Taiki's following sigh. Yaten whirled around, anger adding to the blush on his face, but everyone just laughed at him. He sighed.

"I give up!" He yelled, throwing his hands in the air. Turning to Minako, he said it again, softer. "I give up" He kissed her again, this time shortly and sweetly. Everyone 'aw'ed, looking at the new couple. Ami leaned into Taiki, and Usagi into Seiya. Makoto smiled, looking at Rei happily, who was smiling back. They were beginning to think life was perfect. Reality bites however, and would do so to this group, very, very soon.
