"Fine you really want to know who Akane is? Really? Fine I will tell you. Akane is my fiancee, or ex-fiancee or whatever the hell you want to call her."
"I can't believe you!" Ranae screamed grabbing the vase of flowers and throwing the water at him knowing full well that it would turn Ranma into a girl. With that said Ranae ran out of the house. Ranae ran next door pounding on the door. Ranae leaned against it her sobs racking her body. Erik pulled open the door and Ranae fell into his arms at the loss of balance.
"Ranae what's wrong?" Erik asked concern in his voice.
"He…He…He already has a fiancee. He asked me to marry him and he already has a fiancee. She came to our house today and, and, and."
Erik lead Ranae into the room, by this time everyone had come into the living room, the whole family was home and there to comfort Ranae.
"Your going to stay with us tonight." Marianna announced.
"You can have my room." Kalil said "I can sleep on the couch."
Ranae sniffed "no that's OK I can sleep on the couch." She protested.
"No really I was planning on sitting up and watching TV late anyway." Kalil replied.
Ranae smiled and hugged the younger girl "Thanks."
Ranae walked with Alana towards the room that she usually shared with Kalil and Tacita.
"Are you going to be OK?" Alana asked.
"I just can't believe that he never told me. He proposed to me when he was already engaged. He told me it was an ex-fiancee…but still! He never told me!"
Sudden there was knock on the door Marianna stick her head in the door "
Ranae, Ranma's here and he is insisting on seeing you. Maybe you should hear him out."
Ranae stood up and walked out into the living room. She didn't want to face Ranma right now, but she had lived with Ranma long enough to know that if Ranma wanted something he would persist until he got what he wanted.
"What do you want Ranma?" Ranae asked.
"I want to explain everything." Ranma replied holding out a bouquet of red roses.
"You have 2 minutes." Ranae said quietly taking the roses and holding them limply.
"My father is a crazy old man and basically promised my marriage to many girls. Akane Tendo among them. Akane and I fought a lot and finally I got tired of it all, the psycho people from my town and so I did the one thing I knew best, I left."
"I don't understand why you couldn't tell me in the first place! That first day when I asked you about your life would have been a good time. You weren't even going to tell me were you? The only reason I hear about any of this is because your fiancee showed up and I made you tell me!"
"Ranae that isn't true!" Ranma exclaimed.
"That's just the thing Ranma it is true! You wouldn't have breathed a word of this if it hadn't come up! Now get out!" Ranae threw the roses down, one broke free and stuck to the ground.
Ranae looked at it pictures flashing through her mind, Ranae couldn't place them but they seem familiar .
Ranae ran crying to her room throwing her face down and eventually crying herself to sleep.
"She is taking this really hard isn't she Mom?" Alana asked Marianna several minutes later.
"I don't know if you noticed but Ranae holds on to everything she has tightly. As if she is afraid she will lose it. Her friends are important to her, they are all, to her thinking, I believe, all she has in the whole world. And Ranma springing this news on her threw her off balance and she doesn't lie change." Marianna replied.

(AN this is my favorite part from a Stars episode and I hope I am not ruining it from the people who haven't seen it yet. Also do to the significance of the name Mamo-chan I am not translating that out to Mamoru…yuck!)
A single red rose stood on the ground as rain began to fall.
"When I think about it I'm not good at enduring things."
"What?"
"For example even if I decided to work on my homework today I could easily lose myself and start eating snacks until I am full and sleep…actually I often sleep after that. I thought I had a strong will to go on. But when I saw the rose I remembered him!"
"Dumpling!"
"Even though I can't hear his voice except on the answering machine and I haven't received any letters I thought I was OK. I could survive just by myself…but…but…I just can't stand being by myself!"
"Dumpling!"
"I want to see you…I want to see you Mamo-Chan!"
"Am I not good enough?…Am I not good enough?"

Ranae sat up in bed thinking about the dream. It was so weird. She wondered what the crying blonde girl has said to the man with the black hair in response. It all seemed so familiar to her and she couldn't place it. Slowly though she drifted back to sleep.

Sailor Pluto left her time gate. She had a visit to pay to someone and it had to be soon. She found who she was looking for almost immediately. "I need to talk to you." Pluto said to the young women at the table.
The woman got up surprised "You need to talk to me?"
"Yes," Pluto replied curtly "Don't be so surprised."
"What do you want?"
"I need your help."
"Help with what?"
"My princess lost her memory and she needs someone to help her along as she gets them back. And she trusts you."
"So you want me to go to Earth and help your princess get her memories back? What happened to her?"
Pluto quickly explained the situation in full to her, leaving nothing out. The girl nodded after Pluto explained, her eyes blazing.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Seiya took a deep breath and knocked on the door to the Chan home. The door was opened by a girl about 8 or 9 with blonde shoulder length hair. "Hi." Seiya said looking down at the girl "Is Usagi…er Ranae around?"
"I will go see if she will come to the door." The girl replied closing the door softly behind her.
"She wants to know who is at the door." The girl said coming back to the door.
Seiya thought for a second "Tell her it is an old friend who might hold answers to her past."
The girls blue eyes went wide and she scurried back inside the house. "She said to come into the living room and she will talk to you."
Seiya followed the girl into the living room. Sure enough there sat Usagi, her eyes were red and she held a sad yet apprehensive expression on her face. He once long blonde hair was cut in a chin length cut. But yet with all these changes it was still Usagi.
Seiya rushed forward "God Usagi what happened to you?"
Usagi looked surprised "Usagi, is that my real name?"
Seiya nodded "Yes, Usagi Tuskino."
Usagi looked towards the group surrounding her "Could you let me talk to my guess for awhile?"
The group nodded and walked out of the room. "I've seen you before. In a dream I had last night. There was you and a teenager girl with long blonde hair in an odd hair style. And you were conversing on a roof. The girl was crying and talking about a rose and remembering salmon…"
Seiya nodded he remembered that conversation with Usagi where he had asked her if he was not good enough and she had not been able to respond. "Yes. That was me."
"How do you know about my dream?!" Usagi exclaimed.
"That's not a dream Usagi. That really happened and it was you talking to me."
"That was me?" Usagi asked.
"Yes it was. Mamo-Chan he was your boyfriend but he went away. Do you remember my name?"
Usagi thought for a second "Seiya!" Usagi exclaimed "I remember you. You used to be an singer. And you went to my school. But I can't remember…"
"That's OK don't rush it let it come back to you naturally." Seiya responded "I have an apartment in Tokyo and I think that if you went there you would be away from here and I could come with you and help you get your memories back."
"I think that a change of scenery would be good. And besides I need to be in Tokyo anyway. Let me get something next door and I will be ready to leave. As soon as I say goodbye to everyone here. Is that OK?"
"As soon as you want to." Seiya replied.
Usagi smiled "You guys can come in!" Usagi called. She knew that they had been standing there and had heard everything. "I'm going to go you guys. I will be back I promise. But I need to find out who I really am."
Everyone nodded and Usagi said good bye to each of them. "OK I have to go next door and pick up some stuff." Usagi said, but inside she was praying Ranma wasn't home.
Usagi walked into the house that had been her home for 3 years. Usagi walked quietly into the house, Seiya behind her. Ranma was walked quickly into the main hallway.
"Ranae please." Ranma stopped short "Who's that?"
"This is an old friend of mine. I knew before I lost my memory." Usagi said quietly "I'm going with him and he is going to help me get my memory back.'
"Usagi just because you are upset at me doesn't mean you should take off with the first stranger you meet who offers you a chance to get out of Kyra."
"I'm not just taking this as an excuse!" Usagi exclaimed her blue eyes burning with rage.
"How do you he is telling you the truth?" Ranma asked "He could just be some crazy fan of yours…"
"You know as well as I do that no one knows about my past, we have done everything to keep it out of the papers and it has been. Besides I remember, I am beginning to have dreams of my past and I am here to get as much as I can take with me." Usagi's voice held a coldness that Seiya had never heard in her voice before. "Now if you will excuse me I must be going."
Ranma made and attempt to stop Usagi but Seiya stood in front of her protectively. The 2 stood facing each other. Seiya glared at the guy who had hurt Usagi. Slowly Usagi backed down and Seiya followed Usagi to her room.
Seiya looked around Usagi's room, it was a lot different from the one she had back in Tokyo. "Can I help you with something?" Seiya asked.
"Um…"Seiya cold see the unshed tears in Usagi's eyes "Could you get the suitcases out of my closet? I can't reach them."
Seiya nodded and took the cream colored matching suitcases out of the closes "A lot of suitcases."
Usagi nodded "Being a model for Deception requires me to travel a lot and after for long periods of time so I have also been able to acquire the ability to pack quickly. How much time do we have? How much stuff can I bring?"
"We have all the time you need. And if you need to bring big stuff we can send movers to come and get the rest."
"Thanks Seiya. You really came at the perfect time."
Seiya didn't mention that Pluto had come and told everything to him. Seiya wasn't supposed to tell Usagi anything. If some of the things came back that Usagi didn't understand then Seiya could help her, like he had about Mamoru and if she asked him., But right now the Sailor Scout and Usagi being Sailor Moon was off limits.
"Do you want me to help you pack?" Seiya asked.
Usagi gave him a small smile and shook her head "No, thanks though." Usagi opened her closest suddenly though as she thought of something she picked up the headset phone and dialed a number "Hello Rachel it's Ranae is Laura around?"
"…"
"OK thanks."
"…"
"Laura hi it's Ranae. I'm going to Tokyo for awhile. Yeah I'm leaving early. I have something to take care of."
"…"
"Press release for what?"
"…"
"No," Pain was evident in Usagi's eyes "Ranma and I called off the engagement. No don't say anything. Yes, I will be able to call you once I get to where I will be staying. No I hotel is not necessary I have friends in Tokyo. OK bye." Throughout this conversation Usagi had been hurriedly packing the clothes in her closet.
"Usagi are you OK?" Seiya asked.
"I will be as soon as I get out of this house and as far away from Ranma as possible." Usagi replied "OK I am just about done."
"With packing all of your clothes?!"
"I told you that I pack fast! Now come on I have to get out of here."
Seiya nodded taking half of Usagi's suitcases. As they walked into the hallway Ranma appeared again "Ranae please don't leave. Can't we work this out?"
Usagi turned on Ranma "Listen I am eternally grateful for you finding me and taking ,me to the hospital and then taking me in when I had nowhere else to go. I trusted you with my life. But Ranma don't you see? You were never completely truthful with me. If I am ever going to forgive you then you have to let me go." And with that Usagi walked out of the hose, Seiya following.
They had been in the car for several minutes when Usagi fell asleep. She had only been asleep for minutes when she woke up crying.
"Usagi are you OK?"
"I had another dream. This time it was the same girl…me. Some sort of yellowish power going straight through them. They seemed important to me. And it may sounds silly but it all felt so real to me."
Seiya stopped the car and pulled into the parking lot of a convenience store. "Listen Usagi that is very real. It seems that all of your memories are coming back in your dreams. Maybe you should write them down?"
Usagi nodded "I'm going to run into the bathroom."
Seiya nodded and also got out of the car and placed a call to a cell phone.
"Hello Setsuna, it's Seiya. It's going OK were headed back to Tokyo now. But listen she has already told me of 2 dreams she has already had. Anyway she is having dreams about the battle with Galaxia. I thought you said her dreams would start from the beginning . Yeah OK bye."
As Seiya hung up the cell phone Usagi came out having obviously re-applying her make-up "So how much longer until we get to Tokyo?" Usagi asked.
"Were on the outskirts now. We aren't far from Juban but we aren't in Juban." As Seiya said this he watched Usagi, she seemed to recognize the name.
"Juban, that's where I lived isn't it?" Usagi asked. Seiya nodded "10th street High School that's where I went isn't it? I remember the school."
Seiya smiled "See your getting your memory back shouldn't be hard at all."
"Are Taiki and Yaten staying with us?"
Seiya looked up amazed "You remember Yaten and Taiki?"
"Yes," Usagi replied "names and faces are all jumbled in my head and I don't know what everything is and it's so confusing." With those words Usagi turned her tear filled eyes towards the window. Seiya suddenly slammed on the brakes as someone pulled out in front of him.
"Stupid crazy drivers!" Seiya exclaimed.
"Haruka likes to drive fast." Usagi mumbled.
"What?"
"Haruka Teno, she's a race-car driver, she was really protective over me. And she didn't like you, Yaten or Taiki but I can't remember why. Why?"
"Haruka, Taiki, Yaten and I all had different opinions on your safety."
Usagi nodded though she didn't seem to understand completely.
"Well her ewe are." Seiya stopped the can in front of a nice apartment building. Usagi's door was opened by a door man "Ms Tuskino we've been expecting you, I will have the bell boy bring up your bags. Mr. Kou."
Seiya nodded at the door man "Thanks Don."
As they took the elevator up to the penthouse apartment both Seiya and Usagi were silent. When they reached the apartment Seiya opened the door when Usagi walked in both Taiki and Yaten stood up. Usagi hugged both of them and said "It is so good to see you two."
A couple of hours later Usagi, Seiya, Yaten and Taiki were sitting at the table having dinner.
"So what do you remember?" Yaten asked.
"Yaten! Leave her be." Taiki exclaimed.
"No it's fine I don't remember much really. I remember you 3, Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru and Setsuna. I remember faces, but not names, I see a lot of faces but I can't figure out who they are or how I know them." Seiya, Yaten and Taiki nodded "I have a slight headache I think I'm going to go lie down for awhile."
The rest nodded and as Usagi walked towards her bedroom. Seiya stood up and walked towards the kitchen phone and he dialed Setsuna's number. Setsuna was also in Tokyo but for the time being she wasn't going to see Usagi.,
"Hi, we were talking today at dinner and Usagi seems to be getting a few of her memories back. She remembers me, Taiki, Yaten, you Haruka and Michiru and Hotaru. I thought for sure she would remember Rei, Makoto, Ami, Minako and Mamoru."
"…"
"Really you think so?" There was a long pause before he said this as he listened "I wouldn't think she would. But I guess after Galaxia she…"
"…"
"Yeah I will. Bye."
Seiya turned towards Yaten and Taiki who had been paying attention to the phone conversation.
"So?" Yaten asked.
"Setsuna seemed to think that Usagi's heart wont let her remember some of these things. She was so traumatized by the battle with Galaxia that her heart wont let her remember certain people especially Mamoru, and until her heart is ready to face them she wont regain her full memory. Setsuna thinks that her seeing me is why she remember the 3 of us. And the outer scouts weren't with her through as much so that's why she remembers the. But she doesn't recognize them as senshi. Minako, Rei, Ami and Makoto though, she has been through so much with them. She doesn't want to be hurt, she is protecting herself from that, even if she doesn't realize that." As Seiya said this the 2 other guys nodded, they understood completely.
"I admit, I never thought we would be working with Setsuna." Yaten commented.
"I can't believe you!" Ranae screamed grabbing the vase of flowers and throwing the water at him knowing full well that it would turn Ranma into a girl. With that said Ranae ran out of the house. Ranae ran next door pounding on the door. Ranae leaned against it her sobs racking her body. Erik pulled open the door and Ranae fell into his arms at the loss of balance.
"Ranae what's wrong?" Erik asked concern in his voice.
"He…He…He already has a fiancee. He asked me to marry him and he already has a fiancee. She came to our house today and, and, and."
Erik lead Ranae into the room, by this time everyone had come into the living room, the whole family was home and there to comfort Ranae.

"Juban, that's where I lived isn't it?" Usagi asked. Seiya nodded "10th street High School that's where I went isn't it? I remember the school."
Seiya smiled "See your getting your memory back shouldn't be hard at all."
"Are Taiki and Yaten staying with us?"
Seiya looked up amazed "You remember Yaten and Taiki?"
"Yes," Usagi replied "names and faces are all jumbled in my head and I don't know what everything is and it's so confusing." With those words Usagi turned her tear filled eyes towards the window. Seiya suddenly slammed on the brakes as someone pulled out in front of him.
"Stupid crazy drivers!" Seiya exclaimed.
"Haruka likes to drive fast." Usagi mumbled.
"What?"
"Haruka Teno, she's a race-car driver, she was really protective over me. And she didn't like you, Yaten or Taiki but I can't remember why. Why?"
"Haruka, Taiki, Yaten and I all had different opinions on your safety."
Usagi nodded though she didn't seem to understand completely.
"Well her ewe are." Seiya stopped the can in front of a nice apartment building. Usagi's door was opened by a door man "Ms Tuskino we've been expecting you, I will have the bell boy bring up your bags. Mr. Kou."
Seiya nodded at the door man "Thanks Don."
As they took the elevator up to the penthouse apartment both Seiya and Usagi were silent. When they reached the apartment Seiya opened the door when Usagi walked in both Taiki and Yaten stood up. Usagi hugged both of them and said "It is so good to see you two."
A couple of hours later Usagi, Seiya, Yaten and Taiki were sitting at the table having dinner.
"So what do you remember?" Yaten asked.
"Yaten! Leave her be." Taiki exclaimed.
"No it's fine I don't remember much really. I remember you 3, Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru and Setsuna. I remember faces, but not names, I see a lot of faces but I can't figure out who they are or how I know them." Seiya, Yaten and Taiki nodded "I have a slight headache I think I'm going to go lie down for awhile."
The rest nodded and as Usagi walked towards her bedroom. Seiya stood up and walked towards the kitchen phone and he dialed Setsuna's number. Setsuna was also in Tokyo but for the time being she wasn't going to see Usagi.,
"Hi, we were talking today at dinner and Usagi seems to be getting a few of her memories back. She remembers me, Taiki, Yaten, you Haruka and Michiru and Hotaru. I thought for sure she would remember Rei, Makoto, Ami, Minako and Mamoru."
"…"
"Really you think so?" There was a long pause before he said this as he listened "I wouldn't think she would. But I guess after Galaxia she…"
"…"
"Yeah I will. Bye."
Seiya turned towards Yaten and Taiki who had been paying attention to the phone conversation.
"So?" Yaten asked.
"Setsuna seemed to think that Usagi's heart wont let her remember some of these things. She was so traumatized by the battle with Galaxia that her heart wont let her remember certain people especially Mamoru, and until her heart is ready to face them she wont regain her full memory. Setsuna thinks that her seeing me is why she remember the 3 of us. And the outer scouts weren't with her through as much so that's why she remembers the. But she doesn't recognize them as senshi. Minako, Rei, Ami and Makoto though, she has been through so much with them. She doesn't want to be hurt, she is protecting herself from that, even if she doesn't realize that." As Seiya said this the 2 other guys nodded, they understood completely.
"I admit, I never thought we would be working with Setsuna." Yaten commented.
