Mamoru had an aura of happiness around him as he got out of his car. A week has gone by since the night of the Star Festival and Usagi has regained all of her memories during the week.
'Now it won't be likely that Usako will fall for Hiroshi,' Mamoru thought triumphantly before remembering his run in with Hiroshi earlier this week, 'I guess he isn't too bad.'

"I only did what I did for Usagi-chan. I may not have known her for a long time, but it's not hard to see how much she cares for you and how she's happiest with you...that is when you don't act like a jerk," then in a dead serious tone, "Just because I let her go for now doesn't mean I won't change my mind. So don't give me a reason to."

'The guy may like Usako and tried to take her from me, but he still put her feelings into consideration. He's a good friend to Uskao...as long as he's remains as a friend.'
Those doubtful thoughts quickly dispersed when the Tsukino residence came into view. Unconsciously quickening his pace, Mamoru was soon at the front door. Just as his hand was about to ring the doorbell, he heard a familiar voice yell out, "You little brat! That was my cookie!"
Realizing that the sound of the running footsteps was quickly approaching the front door, Mamoru dodged the sudden opening of the door at the last second. Unfortunately, he was still in the pathway of the pursued which resulted in him falling straight onto the hard concrete ground with the person landing on top of him with a thud.
"Oh Mamo-chan are you okay," Usagi asked when she saw the little girl she was chasing crash into her boyfriend.
"Don't worry, I'm fine," Mamoru pushed himself up then chuckled, "Next time watch where you're running to Chibi-usa."
Chibi-usa smiled sheepishly as she got off Mamoru, "Well tell Usagi-baka to stop chasing me."
"If you don't want to be chased, then next time don't steal my portion of sweets," Usagi declared with both hands on her hips.
"Hey who was the one that ate my slice of cake last night," Chibi-usa shot back while pointing an accusing finger at Usagi.
Mamoru couldn't help but smile at the scene before him. It had been such a relief when Usagi had brought Chibi-usa over to his apartment three days ago. Apparently Chibi-usa had gotten permission from the King and Queen to travel back to the present through the time gates with Pluto's help. Her reappearance reassured him that the damage to their future has been fixed. The little girl even told them that Demando and Saphir have survived and have now resumed their original goal to form a treaty with Crystal Tokyo. His worries were calmed with the knowledge that he has a wonderful future to look forward to.
'And I'll make sure our future remains unchange.'
Standing up, Mamoru walked toward the two still arguing girls, "Come on now, we should get going. The other girls are probably waiting for us at the amusement park gates already."
Recalling the reason they had woke up so early on a Saturday, the two girls immediately ceased their arguing and smiled in excitement. Both of them grabbed onto Mamoru's arm and started pulling him toward his parked car. Happily allowing himself to be pulled along, Mamoru knew whatever lies in their future, he'll always make sure he would make the right decisions no matter the pain as long as his princesses stayed happy.
A/N: Yay my very first fanfic is finally over. Hopefully after all this time my chapters had slowly gotten better. Now to focus on my other two fanfics in work. One is another SM fanfic where it is in the Silver Millennium time, but it's AU so doesn't follow the original SM storyline. My other fic is a Naruto shikatema fic. Try them if you're interested in either of the pairings. Well I would really appreciate it if I could get some feedback not just on this chapter but my overall work...it will really help me to improve on future fanfics. Thank you to all the readers that stuck to this story and those who gave me encouraging and helpful reviews. 'Til next time =)
