**** Good News, Bad News ****

Three officers were sent to Mamoru's apartment to break the news to the him, Makoto,
and Minako. The officers knocked on his door. Mamoru opened the door. One of the officers
was Mario, in whom Mamoru gave the info about Usagi in the first place. Mamoru spoke to
Minako.

"Minako, please take ChibiUsa into the other room for a moment. And keep her there until
our talk is finished."

Mamoru asked Minako and she took ChibiUsa into the other room. Mamoru urged Mario to sit
down on the sofa with Makoto and himself. Mario spoke up.

"Mamo-Kun, I have some breaking news... some good and bad news which will be a relief and
a shock to you."

Mario spoke to Mamoru and Makoto. He looked at them carefully before choosing his words he
was going to speak. Then he spoke again.

"Mamo-Kun, Makoto, I will start by telling you this... Usagi has been found alive!"

Mario started by telling them that Usagi was alive and when he spoke those words their
faces lit up. Luna and Artemis also were nearby listening in on the conversion. Mamoru
spoke.

"Is she okay? Is she alright?"

Mamoru asked in a relieved but worried tone. He cared for her deeply. Mario spoke again.

"Mamoru and Makoto allow me to show you this picture." Mario started as he showed them
the picture of when Usagi was found... she didn't look like Usagi at all.

"Interesting, Usagi doesn't look like Usagi."

Makoto commented about the way Usagi looked after she was found. Usagi had cuts and bruises
all over her body. Many questions ran through Mamoru's mind. Questions he wanted to ask the
officer.

"Mamoru, Usagi was barely breathing when the paramedics got to her and when the off duty
paramedic found her, she hadn't bathed in weeks it seemed like to him and she was discovered
somewhere north of Fukushima, Japan."

Mario reported to both Mamoru and Usagi. Mamoru was surprised that Usagi could travel all
on her own.

"When will she be coming back?"

Makoto asked about when Usagi would return.

"I will be honest with you two. I do not know when she will return. She is in Fukushima Children's
Hospital and when she was brought there, they had to clean up she smelled so bad and now she
is awake and has a new friend named Mika who has been by her side after she has woken up. Usagi
still has not said a single word to Mika or to the nurses. Usagi also will not eat any solid
food so, they have to keep the feeding tube in so, she can continue receiving nutrition."

Mario revealed again.

"Is Usagi being responsive to this girl although she will not speak?"

Mamoru asked about Usagi.

"Yes, Usagi is responsive to Mika, however Usagi may have some memory problems. When she was
found, there was a wound she received when she fell into the creek where she was found. By the
look of the wound in this photo, Usagi hit the rock hard. She is lucky that her skull didn't
fracture or break. She really must have a hard head!"

Mario told them again about Usagi and about how she fell in the creek.

"Anything more you can tell us about Usagi?"

Mamoru asked the officer again.

"Mamo-Kun, Usagi is in the best care right now. The nurses has taken good care of her and since
she had been identified, they are taking really good care for her."

Mario explained to them about Usagi's condition and that she is in good hands.

"I see. I guess we have choice but to await her return."

Makoto responded to what Officer Mario had just spoken.

"Mamo-Kun, Makoto, right now... life may seen unforgiving, however Usagi is a strong girl
and she will make a full recovery... I believe."

Mario told them that he believed that Usagi was strong and that she would make a full recovery.
Mario stood up to leave and he spoke again.

"Usagi may be back with you all sooner than you know. In times of trial, time seems to move slowly,
however... the next thing you will notice is that time passes very quickly. Good day to you Mamoru
and also Makoto."

Officer Mario spoke again and he and the two other officers left. Mamoru thanked them as they left
and he closed the door. Makoto opened the door to the other room and Minako and ChibiUsa came back
out into the living room.

"What's the news?"

Minako asked like she wanted to know the latest gossip.

"Usagi is alive and in a city called Fukushima."

Makoto replied in giving the news about Usagi. ChibiUsa seemed relieved that Usagi was still
alive.

"She was barely alive when they found her and now she is doing better."

Mamoru told Minako and ChibiUsa. Then they heard a message come from outside. It was Koan.

"Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, Sailor Moon, and Tuxedo Mask. Do you want Sailor Mars and Sailor
Mercury back? Then we offer a challenge to you. Defeat both Berthier and myself and in return,
you will have both Mercury and Mars... Be here tomorrow at midnight at Azabu Park. Be there!"

Koan spoke to only where Makoto, Minako, Mamoru, and ChibiUsa could hear. This would be the
toughest battle yet... a battle without Sailor Moon.
