A.N.~ Well, here is the eagerly anticipated epilogue to my story. Domo arigatou to those who reviewed, and for those that haven't yet, please do! This is more humorous than mushy, and as requested, it will mostly have Motoki & crews reactions to Usagi and Mamoru's new "relationship." Hope you enjoy!!!

Ami and Minako walked down the sidewalk, opposite the park, on their way to the arcade to meet Rei and Makato for an early evening study session. Suddenly, a noise from the nature trail across the street caught their attention. "What was that?" Ami asked turning towards the park. "It's sounds like Usagi." Minako replied, craning her neck to try and where it was coming from. Suddenly Usagi came into view, and right behind her was ... MAMORU!!! Both Ami and Minako gasped and rubbed their eyes in disbelief. As they reopened their eyes a second time, the first thing they caught sight of was Mamoru taking Usagi's hand in his, then putting an arm around her waist, as she leaned against him with her head on his shoulder. Minako could hardly believe her eyes. "Pinch me, 'cause I must be dreaming." Minako muttered to herself. Her request was answered by Ami, who pinched Minako's arm hard, causing Minako to yelp in pain. "I didn't mean literally Ami, that hurt!" Minako complained, taking her gaze off Usagi and Mamoru to scowl at Ami. Ami had her gaze focused just over Minako's shoulder at Usagi and Mamoru, and as Minako glared at her, Ami let out a squeak and started to stutter terribly, pointing behind Minako. "Minako.... Usa...Mamoru...their...their..." "Their what Ami, what is it?" Minako turned to where Ami was pointing in time to see Usagi and Mamoru lean in for a kiss under the street light. "OH MY GO-" Minako's scream was cut off by Ami clapping her hand over her mouth and dragging her into an alley to hide.
Usagi broke off their kiss. "What was that noise?" She asked, turning in Mamoru's arms to look at where the sound came from. "I don't see anything, it was probably just a cat or something." Mamoru replied, turning Usagi around to face him, then taking her hand in his. "Come on, lets go to the arcade and break the news to Motoki and your friends, man are they gonna be surprised." Usagi giggled in reply, and started to walk toward the arcade.
Ami and Minako let out a sigh of relief. "God that was close, we have to tell the others." Minako said. "They'll never believe this..." Ami replied, following Minako through the short cut to the arcade.

"Ugh!!! Where is that baka Usagi? She's late to meet us again!" Rei complained hands on her hips. Makato looked at her watch. "I know it's like Usagi to be late, but what about Minako and Ami? Ami's usually never late for anything..." "Minako probably saw a cute guy and decided to take Ami along for the ri-, hey, there's Ami and Minako now!" They watched as Minako and Ami sprinted threw the doors toward them. "Rei...Usa...Mamoru...They...They..." Ami and Minako panted, trying to catch their breath. "What?" Rei and Makato asked together, twin looks of confusion on their faces. Motoki came out of the backroom at hearing the commotion. "Wow, Ami, Minako, you guys look like you just ran a marathon, I'll get you some water..." Motoki immediately turned and headed to the kitchen to get some glasses. Suddenly the arcade door jingled, and in stepped Usagi and Mamoru, smiling and laughing, and...holding hands! Makato was speechless and just kept opening and closing her eyes. Rei's mouth moved silently, trying to speak but couldn't because of shock. Usagi and Mamoru sat down in a booth. Then the real shocker came, just as Motoki returned with the drinks, they all watched as Usagi and Mamoru leaned in for another quick kiss. Rei and Makato both let out an almost inaudible squeak. Motoki dropped the glasses of water. Usagi and Mamoru sweatdropped as all of their friends, minus Minako and Ami, who just sighed and shook their heads, fell to the floor in a dead faint. "I think they took it pretty good." Usagi said, and smiled at Mamoru.
