Minako and Makoto picked Usagi up at the train station. "Train number 179 now arriving", said a voice. The 179 was train that Usagi was on. Minako and Makoto were so happy to have Usagi home for Thanksgiving; but they had to figure out how to get Usagi to come back for the big surprise at Christmas.
"So did you miss us, Usagi?" Asked a very excited Minako who missed her friend very much. "Of course, Minako; but I miss Mamoru the more," said a very sad Usagi. "I've also been rethinking this working for Mr. Osaka, it's nice and all, but it's really not the same." "USAGI, have you gone nuts, this is no time to be having second thoughts." "Well, I haven't told Mr. Osaka yet, but I put out a couple of résumé's and I got an offer. I leave after New Year's. I'm going to working for a newspaper. The only thing is that I'll be leaving Japan." "Where are you going?" Asked Minako and Makoto with a puzzled look on their faces. "It's a surprise, Minako!" "Oh, okay, Usagi."
As Usagi goes to get her luggage, Minako whispers to Makoto. "I have a feeling this new job is in Boston." "Why does she have to go so far away, Minako?" "Because she misses Mamoru and with this new job she gets to be with him." Minako finished, then they both went to help Usagi.

"Mom, dad this is my friend Mamoru Chiba," said Ken to his parents. "So Mamoru, what are you studying?" Asked Mrs. Andrews. "To be a doctor." "You look a little down what's wrong?" "Nothing, I'm just thinking, I need some air. I'll be back," said Mamoru.
"Ken, dear does your friend have something bothering him?" "He misses his girlfriend a lot." "Where is she? You guy could have brought her too." "She lives in Japan, mom. He's going to visit her for Christmas." "That's sweet, but why doesn't she come here." "Well, he says, that she doesn't want to be far away from her friends and family."
Mamoru comes back from getting some air. "Don't worry I just took a walk." "Ken dear and hum Mamoroo, dinner is ready." "Okay", answered Ken and Mamoru. "This is like the holidays at Usa's house." "Who's Usa???" asked Mrs. Andrews. A good friend of mine", replied Mamoru. "Oh, Ken your cousin Suzie called and she wanted to know if she could borrow that 'Three Lights' CD you have."
Mamoru coughed at the words 'Three Lights'. The Three Lights' Seiya Kou had caused him so much pain, and hearing the name 'Three Lights' made him remember all those forgotten and painful memories; except for the night he beat the crap out of Seiya, that one memory caused an evil grin on his face.
"Mamoru, are you okay?" Asked Mrs. Andrews. "Yes, I was remembering something, that's all." "So Mamoru, I hear you have a girlfriend and that she lives in Japan." "Yes, she's working while I'm away at school. I miss her a lot. It's kind of like we've known each other forever. Thank you very much for dinner Mrs. Andrews. It was delicious, but I've got to get going. It was very nice to meet you." And Mamoru got up from the table and left.
"He's a very lonely and depressed young man," commented Mrs. Andrews. "Did say anything about his parents since you guys have been roommates?" "Not really. I asked him if his parents dropped him off when we arrived at the school. He said, 'they were on a trip in the amazon searching for rare plants,' after he said that I didn't bother to push the issue, because I don't think that he's telling the truth; for all I know they could have died some how."

Mamoru walked from Ken's back to the dorm. While he on his way back he thought about has could surprise Usa for Christmas with the perfect present. As Mamoru was thinking he decided that he couldn't stand being without her any longer, so he thought about what he could do.
Then it dawned on him what he could get her for Christmas a one way ticket to America and an engagement ring then she couldn't say no to!!! Also, he had to start looking for a place to live since Usa might be coming back with him and Ken was starting to get on his nerves.

Makoto cooked a big Thanksgiving dinner like she did every year. They had turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, peas, and mashed potatoes with apple, pumpkin and pecan pie. Dinner was held at Usagi's parent's house since Minako and Makoto's apartment was a little small for holiday occasions.
"Makoto, this dinner is great. I only wish Usagi was having a better time!" Minako joked. "So how's your job going, Usagi?" Asked Makoto. "Good, why?" "You just seem a little down. And also it would do you good to come back for Christmas," said Minako. "Minako, do you know something you're not telling me about Christmas???" "No, just it wouldn't be the same with you here that's all." "Minako, you're keeping something from me now spill it!!!"
Just then the phone rings and Makoto picks up. "Hello?" "Hi, Makoto is Usagi there?" "She's currently giving Minako the third degree." "Can you please go get her it's important." "Okay, hold on." "Usagi, phone." "Who is it Makoto?" "Come and talk to person, then you'll know who it is." Usagi ran to get the phone.
"Miss me much, Usa." "MAMO-CHAN," Usagi screamed with excitement. "I missed you so much, Mamo-chan. I got some exciting new to tell you." "What is it, Usa?" "I got a job offer for a newspaper in Boston and I excepted it." "That's great, Usa." {Now I don't have to beg her to come back with me}, thought Mamoru. "And I start a couple of weeks after the holidays." "Well, I've got some news for you, I'm coming to see you for Christmas." "Why, Mamo-chan?" "Because I don't want to be without you for Christmas and also because you, Minako, Makoto, Ami and Motoki are the closest thing to a family I have." "I wish it was Christmas now instead of in a few weeks." "Well, I'll be there in a couple of weeks when school gets for Christmas break. Well, 'til I see you again, Usa." "Good-bye, Mamo-chan."
Usagi walked back to the dinner table and starred at her food even longer now, than before. "Don't worry, Usa; everything will be alright," said Makoto. "I'm tried, I think I'm going to go home and go to bed."

Back in his room Mamoru sat in silence after his talk with Usagi on the phone. He starred at the picture of the two of them sitting in the park. Then Mamoru picked up the picture and placed it in his arms and lay down on his bed and went to sleep for the night. As he slept Mamoru thought about what type of ring to get Usagi for Christmas.
@------ @------ @------ @------ @------ @------ @------ @------
"Usa, I love you so much..." Ken walked into the room quietly as Mamoru talks in his sleep. "Usa, please come back with me when I return to school. I can't bear being without you any longer..." Ken steps into his own bed quietly and goes to sleep. "Usa, I'm coming to see you for Christmas, because I miss you so much..."
@------ @------ @------ @------ @------ @------ @------ @------
"Minako, you almost let the cat out of bag. Do you want Usagi to get mad at Mamoru again? If you don't remember what happened I can refresh your memory!" "Yes, I remember what happened. Sometimes I get so excited with what's going on that I forget who I'm talking to." "That's no excuse, but if you have to go around the subject by changing it to another topic." "Well, when he comes he's bringing his roommate with him." "Let's go to sleep and we'll all do something fun tomorrow." Minako and Makoto go to their bedrooms.
