***Part Four***

Rei grabbed her communicator. "What is it this time, Usagi-chan?"
"Well. There's a new guy at our school. And he wants to meet you and the rest of the girls. In about three hours. Sound good?" Usagi asked, begging.
"Sure, Usagi-chan. Three hours. Should I ask Mamoru to come along with us?"
"No. Mamoru can stay there," Usagi sighed, her eyes darkening almost immediately, but brightened up slightly. "Besides, I want to drool without being noticed by him!"
Rei smiled a slightly fake smile. "Okay. Ja, Usagi-chan"
"Bye, Rei." Usagi's face dimmed from the communicator.
Mamoru came in. "Who were you talking to, Rei?"
"Usagi."
"I see." He said, as he lowered his eyes. His dark hair fell into his eyes. It was still wet, being that he just got out of the shower. Rei found him irresistible. Mamoru sat next to Rei on the sofa, and Rei lied across his lap. Mamoru did not object. He slightly caressed Rei's face with his slim index finger. He bent down and kissed her passionately.
"Mamo-chan…"
Mamoru slowly slipped off Rei's top…but he stopped when he heard a small gasp coming from the doorway.

"Whattya want Usagi!?" Minako shouted.
"Well…actually…" Usagi sighed, explaining what she had stated to Rei. "He wants to meet you all. I don't know why. But he's a total cutie! Perfect for drooling over!"
"Oh. Since ya put it that way. When?" Minako asked, sounding rather anxious.
"Well, in about two and a half hours… at the tennis court. Can you make it?" Usagi asked.
"Sure. I'm going over to Makoto's house later today. I'll ask her to come along, so you don't have to ask her.
"Okay. Bye Minako. See you tonight.
Usagi pushed the button on her communicator and turned it off. She turned over on her stomach and sighed. She had contacted Ami about an hour ago and she had said she was coming. Just an a couple…hours left, Usagi thought to herself. A little nap wouldn't hurt, would it now? She closed her eyes, and once again became engrossed in her thoughts, two hours later found her still sleeping there.

"Oh no!!" Usagi screeched loudly. "Rei is so going to kill me! I'm the one who invited them in the first place!!" She tumbled off her bed and pulled on a pair of yellow capri's and a white, long sleeved shirt. She threw on some sandles. She ran down stairs, practically tripping over the last two steps, and ran as fast as she could to the park. About two minutes before she got there, Usagi glanced at her watch, realizing she was already fifteen minutes lately.
She opened the gate to the tennis court and walked in. Immediately she realized that Rei, Ami, Minako, Makoto, and Bishonen were already there. Unfortunately, Anetka, Bishonen's sister, was there two. Bishonen stood there, smiling, talking with the girls. Anetka stood a few feet away, a stern look plastered upon her face, and her arms crossed over her chest.
Usagi ran the rest of the way over to them, and by the time she got there, she was out of breath.
"Usag-chan!" Rei shouted, slapping Usagi on the back, being brutally ruff…intentionally. She leaned down into her mouth was level with Usagi's ear. "You're…late…" She whispered, sounding as if her teeth were clenched.
"Eh…" Usagi started and stood up, smiling innocently. "Um…Id like you to meet Ami, Minako, Rei, and Makoto, whom you probably have already met from school." She said each girls' name, pointed to them respectively, and each girl smiled. "And this is Bishonen." She said, reaching her index finger out to him.
Bishonen smiled. "We've taken the time to introduce ourselves. But Thank You Usagi. I don't believe…" He started "that you've met my sister. Anetka. She…erm…doesn't speak much."
Anetka smiled her cold smile. "Oh, Bishonen. Don't talk like that. I talk…when need be so. But I don't find in necessary to talk to…these people."
Bishonen sighed. "Hai, Of Course Sister." He beamed a smile at the girls, and the girls, in returned, smiled back. His black hair, tipped red, fell into his golden eyes. Minako sighed.
"So, Bishonen. Are you…um…busy this weekend?" Minako asked, hoping against all odds that he was free.
"Actually. No I'm not busy at all. Why do you ask?" He smiled, knowing what she was going for.
"Well, Maybe we could go out for a shake or something. Get to know each other a little more?" She asked, still pleading.
"That sounds excellent."
She exhaled.
"Well, It was nice meeting all of you, see you again!" He walked off.
"Good-bye." Anetka said in her usual cool voice, following behind Bishonen.

"This is going to be easy…" Bishonen said, lurking about the shadows. Anetka nodded, as if in agreement. "But if you keep being so cold," he continued "people are going to think something's up!"
Anetka sighed. " I can't help who I am, you know. I think this whole mission is pointless. Dealing with annoying little girls running around in skirts…screaming about how wonderful they are."
"But, Anet, we're here to lower those girls' ego down a few levels. That's what we're here for, sis." Bishonen said.
Anetka nodded, pulling out a bow. She grabbed an arrow from the quiver on her back. She took aim at a near civilian, and let go. The arrow flew through people. Through the young lady's heart the tip went. She dropped to the ground, dead. A small stream of blood made its way from her body.

Rei got up and looked around, afraid that the small gasp was from Usagi. Fortunately, it was not from Usagi. "Chibiusa! You scared me! You shouldn't just walk into peoples apartments!"
"You should talk Rei." Chibiusa responded back, throwing a sharp glance at Rei.
"What are you talking about?" Rei asked.
"You know very well what I'm talking about! Usagi said your grandfather had kicked you out of the temple. Hey, Rei. Guess who I just went to see?!" Chibiusa shouted, her eyes beaming with anger. Rei's face went pale. Chibiusa waited, and after getting no respond, she answered her own question. "I went to see you grandfather, Rei!! And guess what? Poor Rei didn't get kicked out of the temple after all!!"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Rei shouted incredulously.
"Don't lie, Rei!! I came over to see Mamoru! And what do I find!? My future mother's good friend getting a little too intimate with my future father!! You would think that…Usagi being with Mamoru and all…you would know better!? But did you? NO! You went and…and…UGH! I CANT BELIEVE YOU!!" Chibiusa screamed, her voice seeming to rise by the second.
"I'm not all to blame, you know. Mamoru had some part in it, too…" Rei said, realizing she had been caught and there was really nothing she could do about it.
Mamoru looked at Rei, sighing. "Oh, c'mon Rei. I admit that it was really tempting, but I would never hurt Usagi in that kind of way. The kiss met nothing, Rei. I'm sorry."
Rei's eyes glazed over with tears. "How can you say that!?"
"Rei!" Mamoru shouted, "you need to get over your high-school crush and grow up!! I've got a girlfriend. If you really want to even go as far to say I have a wife, then go ahead! I'm taken, and there's no way I can be with you. We're friends. Do you understand, Rei?"
Tears made their way down Rei's cheeks, landing softly on the carpeted floor, leaving a small wet spot. "Yes, I understand. What I don't understand is how you could sit there and lie to me. Not in words. But you knew…you knew that something was going to happen. And if Chibiusa hadn't come in, something would have!"
"Lie to you!? Oh, GOD! How dare you sit there and say that? You were the one who was lying to me Rei! Your grandfather never kicked you out of the temple! Little Rei decided to sneak out one night, and come over to Mamoru's house, seeing if she could stay there. And then she tries to seduce him! What do you call that, Rei!?" Mamoru yelled.
" I…I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that." Rei admitted, offering an apologetic smile, as if she kept this up, maybe she'd still get her way.
"Don't try it, Rei. Get out of my house. Outside of seeing you as Tuxedo Kamen, I never want to talk to you again." Mamoru stated, staring Rei straight in the eyes, as if to emphasize what he was saying.
Rei fled from the room, the tears still making their way down her face, only in a faster pace.
Mamoru sighed, looking at Chibiusa. "Well, I guess we should go see Usagi, hm?" Chibiusa nodded.

Usagi walked up the stairs slowly. One more week, that's it. That's all she had to make it, and high school would be over. She wouldn't have to listen to the teachers or anything. All she had to do was pass the exams, and then she was home free. Until…college. Usagi groaned and twisted the knob, walking into her room.
She had walked from the tennis court to Makoto's house, then back to her own home. Obviously sick of hearing the starry-eyed Makoto talk about how it would be so cool if her and Bishonen could get together, Usagi landed on her bed with a plop. She sighed and looked around. Noticing her brooch was lying on the bed she picked it up and put it in her pocket. She lied down and drifted off to sleep, a few minutes later, she heard a knock on the door down stairs. She got up, slipped on her house-slippers and walked downstairs. She opened the door and found Chibiusa, who she had actually forgotten had come back, and Mamoru. "Hi guys!" She said cheerfully.
"Usagi…we have to talk." Mamoru said, a worried glance upon her face. Behind him was Rei, who had just arrived. She nodded.
"Me, too, Usagi. Please." She pleaded.
Usagi invited all three in and seating them on the sofa.
"Well…" Rei and Mamoru both started, and the threw a nervous glance at one another.

Ami sighed, gazed at the letter of acceptance. Blah, Blah, blah…she had been accepted…some more pointless information…very impressed with your perfect score…it would be an honor…blah…blah…blah.
It had, no doubt, been her dream to go to the school in Germany, get her degree, become a doctor, and settle down for a nice, peaceful life. Unfortunately, when she had developed this dream so long ago, she didn't know she was going to be a scout. She didn't know what her and the girls were going to do once they graduated. Ami laughed at the thought of thirty-year-old women running around in sailor fuku's. Ami folded up the letter and stuck it in a drawer. She was already eleven chapters ahead in most of her classes; she figured she could take a break…a short one. Ami started for Usagi's house.

Propped up on a pillow, staring at the T.V., and occasionally popping a piece of popcorn in her mouth, Makoto lay on her bed, hot tears streaming down her face. "God, I hate Romance Flicks," She thought to out loud. Yea, She hated them, but she always found herself watching them. Makoto grabbed a tissue and blew her nose. Diana's love had just died… and Diana was looking to the sky, screaming, and crying. Makoto apparently thought that if the character cried…she outta cry too. She threw the tissue in the basket. An hour later found her crying even harder, after everyone had died. The phone rang.

Minako ran about her room, dazed. She had a date tonight. Letting her hair down, Minako grabbed the curling iron. Slowly, one strand of hair at a time, she curled her hair. When she was done, cascades of curls flowed far passed her shoulders, ending shortly before her waist.
She sighed and went for the phone. Dialing Makoto's number, she waited for an answer. "Makoto!?" Minako whined.
"What…what do you want…?" Makoto asked, blowing her nose.
"What's wrong??"
"I just got done…wat…watching a movie. It was…so…so sad!" Makoto wailed loudly.
"Oh, why don't you stop watching them, hm? You know you'll end up crying, but yet where do we find you every Saturday night? Sitting on your bed with a bowl of popcorn watching some chic flick." Minako said, laughing.
"Yea…whatever. What did you want?"
" What should I wear?"
"To what? Your funeral?"
"No…on a date."
"Go naked." Minako laughed insanely. "What?" Makoto asked. "At least you know you'll score that way."
"Makoto! I'm not going just to get screwed, ya know? I mean, god, I'd like to see what he's like 'n all." Minako said, sound agitated.
"Yea, well…just wear whatever you're comfortable in going in…" Makoto sighed, blowing her nose yet again.
"Hrm…Orange Dress? Sandals? What?" She talked to the dead line…Makoto had hung up, apparently. Minako picked out a short black skirt, a pair of black sandals, and an orange tank top. 'Course…she had to go in orange. Minako rolled her eyes and grabbed a red tank top inside.

Usagi narrowed her eyes. "You…did…what?"
Mamoru sighed. "We…we just kissed, Usagi. That's it. It was an accident."
Rei sighed, glancing at Mamoru, then to Usagi. "Bunny, please…understand."
"What!?" Usagi shouted. "That you, Rei, one of my dearest friends, lied to me…just to get in bed with Mamoru!! And Mamoru almost … almost! UGH!"
"Usako, please…it was just…I mean…blame it on her perfume, the sunset, and how hot it was outside! A guy can only resist so much temptation!" Mamoru pleaded.
"No! I don't…" Usagi started, fresh tears streaming down her eyes. Her friend and the love of her life had betrayed her; done who knows what behind her back.
"Usagi! Don't start getting ideas! Why the hell do you always assume that just because we kissed, it means I must have been in bed with him, too! WHY NOT GO AHEAD AND SAY I MARRIED HIM, USAGI!?"
"I DON'T WANT TO SEE EITHER OF YOU AGAIN!! GET OUT!! NOW!!"
Chibiusa stared back and forth between the three. She yawned. It was only destiny for Usagi and Mamoru to be together, so she figured there wasn't much to worry about. Usagi was just misunderstanding a bunch of things. Even if she did get mad at both of them, she'd eventually have to forgive them!
Mamoru stared at Usagi blankly. "Usako…"
"OUT!!" Usagi shouted.
Mamoru grabbed a red rose out of his jacket, and laid it on the table. Usagi chanced a look at it, but returned her gaze to Mamoru. "Out." Mamoru turned around and went for the door.
"Bunny! IT WAS ONLY A KISS!!" Rei shouted.
"I DON'T WANT YOU IN MY HOUSE!! GET OUT!!" Usagi shouted, her voice rising more than before.
"Hai, Usagi. I'll get out." Rei stared at Usagi, her face emotionless, she turned and walked out the door.
"Well…that was interesting." Chibiusa stated, glancing at Usagi, who just glared back. Usagi stormed off to her room. The slam of her door could be heard all the way downstairs.
