***Part Two***
Disclaimer: Sailormoon is a popular Japanese anime created by Naoko Takeuchi. It does not and will never (well…maybe SOME day he, he) belong to me. I am not earning profit off of this story.
Usagi stood at the street corner. Her past conversation on the phone with Makoto had told her to come here. And so she did. Before too long, a young lady came running up to Usagi. Her hair was brown and was tied up in a ponytail; her eyes were a lovely shade of green, and she towered of Usagi like a tree would tower over a flower.
"Hey, Usagi-chan!" Makoto spoke loudly, and cheerfully.
"Heya, Makoto. Why did you want me to meet you here again?" Usagi asked as she stifled a yawn. Makoto wanted her there early, for some reason. Getting up before noon was a miracle for Usagi, but she would do just about anything for her friends, especially for one as close as Makoto was.
"Oh, nothing, just girls day out, ya know? Thought we'd do a little bit of shopping…stuff like that!"
"Sounds good!"
The two girls strode off down the streets, walking inside clothing shops, fortune telling stands, and a few restaurants. Any stranger passing by would not have guessed that these two ladies were both feeling a bit depressed deep down inside.
Usagi's communicator beeped. "Huh? Oh. Hi Ami! Do you need something?"
Ami sighed. "No, not really. I just thought it would be nice for all of us to get together for a picnic. Ya know… just like old times. I'll contact everyone else later."
"Oh! Sure! Makoto's right here. She says she'd love to go too!" Usagi replied, sounding cheerful, but not forced cheerfulness like she had been applying for the past week or so.
Ami smiled. "Usagi-chan. Could you contact Mamoru and Rei while I work on contacting Minako?"
"Sure thing, Ami!"
"Arigato (Many Thanks). Bye!"
"Ja ne."

"It really is a shame your grandfather kicked you out of the temple, Rei…" Mamoru said, the sorrow clear in his voice.
Rei looked up at Mamoru. She had spent the night here; slept on the bed and Mamoru on the sofa. She hadn't exactly come for what she wanted, but she would get it before too long. Usagi was her friend, but Rei thought she really wouldn't mind at all if she just slipped a few kisses and…
"Rei, are you okay?" Came Mamoru's enchanting voice.
Rei found herself leaning forward, her lips pressed together, and eyes closed. She blushed a deep red. "Oh! I'm…Uh…I apologize."
Mamoru shook his head, his black hair shifting slightly out of place. "Its okay, Rei. Are you hungry or anything?"
Rei sighed. She was a bit hungry, but she didn't want Mamoru to think she was some sort of pig. She sat there, trying to look content. "No thank you, Mamoru. I'll be fine. I'm really sorry about intruding on you and all. I guess grandfather just thought I was too old, and decided to move me out of the temple. I'll try to find a place as soon as possible." She looked up to meet Mamoru's glance. She prayed that he could not see passed her lie.
Mamoru nodded. "I guess so. Well, I have to go to work in an hour or so. If you need anything at all, you can just help yourself to whatever you please."
"What about you Mamo-chan. Can I help myself to you, too?" She thought to herself, sighing lustfully.

Minako looked about the room then arranged herself comfortably on her bed. She gazed up at the ceiling. It was painted with Sailor V figures. Sailor V doing her famous "V for victory" sign, Sailor V holding Artemis, or just Sailor V posing. She had an artist from England paint it, and was found upon it…once upon a time. She sighed. Maybe, she thought, I could go back to being Sailor V once this whole graduation thing is over. She stuffed a cookie in her mouth and pondered upon this for a while.
Beep; beep.
Minako looked about the room. She tumbled off her bed, threw some clothes around, scattered books, and finally came to her communicator.
"Minako! You look so gloomy! What's wrong?"
"Ohayo Gozaimasu, (Good morning) Ami-chan. Nothing is the matter," She replied sulkily.
"…Very well. Everyone else is going to a picnic later this evening. Would you like to come?"
"Hai. (Yes) That sounds nice, Ami…Where is it?"
"At the park about a half a mile from Rei's temple."
"Okay. Good Bye." Minako hung up without waiting for an answer. She stood up and started cleaning her room; only so it would be easier to find an outfit to wear.
"Yea…Sailor V has to arrive in style, ya know?" Minako said sarcastically to herself.
*** *** ***
Rei sighed. Mamoru was in the kitchen, fixing her something to eat. She felt somewhat ashamed…lying to him an all. But she really…really…Rei closed her eyes and started to daydream. Now she knew how Usagi felt … once so long ago; now that Usagi had what she wanted it was Rei's turn to get a taste of the action. She was pulled out of her daydreams by a sudden beep. She looked about. She couldn't figure out what it was. She dug in her pockets and pulled something out.
"…Hi Usagi…" Rei answered.
"Hey, Rei! How are things?"
"Not bad, Usagi-chan. What about there?"
"Things are going…swell…" Rei lied, trying to cover anything and everything up.
"That's good. Listen. The girls and I were planning on having a picnic…ya know? For old times sake and stuff. It sounded like a really good idea, so I accepted the invitation. Are you going to come?"
"Sure. It sounds-" Rei was cut off.
"Rei!! You're food is ready!" Mamoru's deep voice came.
"Mamoru!?" Usagi screeched. "What's he doing there?! No! What are you doing at his house, Rei-chan!?" Usagi noticed the picture hanging above Mamoru's sofa.
"Uh…well…" Rei trailed off, trying to think of some excuse. Usagi would know that her grandfather was far too kind to kick her out, so she couldn't use that one. Maybe…help with homework? Exams?
"Usako. Didn't Rei tell you? Her grandfather kicked her out of the temple…It was really a shame. So I decided to let her stay with me." Mamoru explained soothingly to the tearful eyed Usagi.
"Bu…Bu…She could have stayed with me! Not you! Why does she have to stay with you?" Usagi stammered, trying to speak as clearly as possible.
"I offered her a place. Don't worry, Usako, everything will be alright." Mamoru said, still trying to get Usagi to stop crying.
"Yea, Odango atama (Dumpling Head), everything will be alright. Trust me. Nothing will happen!" Rei said, sounding cheerful, as if they were no doubt that Mamoru was just giving her a place to stay.
"Fine. Both of you are inviting to the picnic. See you there. Ja! (Bye)" Usagi said, agitated, hanging up without waiting for a response.

Chibiusa stood by the fountain in the park. It was mid-afternoon by now. She was on her way to Usagi's house when she saw the beautiful lake. Water made her smile, she liked it. She now stood with her shoes her hands, ankle deep in the lake. Her soft, pink hair flowed a bit passed her shoulders. She had cut it this summer…her mother didn't like it; although Chibiusa had no regrets about it herself. It made her look older.
She heard laughter from far away. She sighed, remembering where she was supposed to be, that she couldn't just stand here in the lake for two whole weeks. She turned around to see a smiling blonde accompanied by a tall man whose black locks fell into his eyes, and four lovely other girls; one with long blonde hair tied in a red bow, another with brown hair, tied up gracefully, a girl with black hair and beautiful violet eyes. The other standing next to the brown haired girl, smiling a seemingly enchant full smile. At first, Chibiusa thought she was imagining things, until the blonde, who had her hair tired up in a hairstyle similar to what hers used to be, spoke.
"Chibiusa! Is that you?" Usagi asked.
"Hai, Hai, Usagi-san. Don't look so worried. I just cut my hair…and grew up. I have permission to be here, too. So don't worry about it. I wanted to see you guys graduate…and visit a little." Chibiusa said, her eyes glistening with joy through the whole thing. It had been a very long while since she had seen Usagi and the girls…and Mamoru.
Mamoru sighed. "Lucky I could take off work. I didn't expect seeing you here, Chibiusa. How have you been?"
Chibiusa beamed a smile at her future father, "I've been great, Mamo-chan…and yourself?"
Usagi pulled Mamoru away. "Lets get the picnic set up, minaa! (Everyone)!"
*** *** ***
Makoto grabbed the red blanket she had brought along with her. She spread it out over the grass. It was a perfect spot, really. The sun shone the right amount, the grass was a perfect shade of green, and you had a wonderful view of the lake.
"I'll get the food!!" Usagi shouted out as she ran towards the basket.
"No you wont!" Chibiusa darted out in front of Usagi and grabbed the basket. She ran, and as she passed Usagi, she stuck her tongue out.
"Come back her you little brat!!" Usagi cried, running after Chibiusa.
"Girls! Calm down!" Mamoru jogged after the two, trying to get them to stop.
The others laughed. Makoto grabbed the basket that Chibiusa had dropped.She lied out a variety of sandwiches, potato salad, cherry jelly, an assortment of pop, an apple pie, double- fudge chocolate chip cookies, and some fruit.
She turned and waited for Usagi, Mamoru, and Chibiusa to stop. Chibiusa ran and hide behind Minako.
"Usagi! Come and eat already! We don't want games!" Rei shouted.
"Oh, c'mon Rei, she started it!!" Usagi whined and pleaded.
"And you shouldn't have drug it out!!" Rei shouted, her temper flaring.
"Fine, fine," Usagi said. She took a seat on the blanket. "Lets eat!"
*** *** ***
"Oh, that was really good!" Minako exclaimed.
Usagi belched loudly. "Uh huh! Really good, Makoto! I'm not at all surprised that you were able to make all this in a short amount of time!"
"Ewww!! Usagi!! Excuse yourself!" Chibiusa scooted playfully away from Usagi.
"Gomen nasai (Excuse me)," Usagi replied, blushing a bit.
"Hai, Excuse me too, I have to go to the restroom." Mamoru said as he got up.
Rei sighed.
Everyone started babbling about how much they were looking forward to graduation, and, at the same time, how they awkwardly dreaded it. Rei removed herself from the conversation, and got up. She tiptoed to the building that the bathrooms were in. She waited outside the men's room.
Mamoru stepped out a few moments later.
Rei pushed him away from the restroom and into a corner.
"Rei, what's going on? Are you okay?" Mamoru asked, a tint of worry in his voice. Instead of replying, she stood on her tiptoes and touched lips with Mamoru. Not knowing what was going on, he returned the kiss. They slowly tore apart….
*** *** ***
^ Well…I figured this was a good place to end it. So I did. Hope you enjoyed it. He he. I really am an angel. I'll work on getting the next part out A.S.A.P! Sorry It took me so long to get this out...I have the next two...just so uh...you guys dont hunt me down or anything!
