Chibiusa's POV
'Wow...it's such a pretty day today! It's so bright and sunny! I wonder if
my Mamo-chan will take me to the park. I'm gonna go ask him right now! Rats!
Usagi's here somewhere...I don't want her to know that I'm going to see him,
'cause then she'll want to come too. I want a day with Mamo-chan all to
myself! I'm gonna have to be veeeery quiet, and sneak out the back door.'
"Well, here goes!"
"Mama, I'm going to Rei's, I'll be back later!" Usagi called.
'Good, Usagi's going out! I'll just wait for her to go, then I'll go too!'
Usagi headed out the door, and towards Hikawa Shrine. I watch Usagi go, and
once she was out of sight, I said "I'm going out too! I'll be back soon!"
Since Ikuko Mama didn't call after me, I went out the door. "Wow, it's soooo
nice!" I decided that I wanted to get ice cream first before going to
Mamo-chan's.
I turned down the street near Mamo-chan's house, 'cause the best ice cream
stand was there. After getting my favorite kind (super chocolate fudge
heavenly hash), I started toward Mamo-chan's. As I was leaving the ice cream
stand, I saw Mamo-chan. With a girl that wasn't me or Usagi!
The girl with him said, "Sagashi-chan, let's get some ice cream."
"Huh? That IS Mamo-chan, I was sure of it!" I stared as hard as I could, and
there was no mistaking. It *was* him! But what was he doing with that tall,
skinny redhead?!
"Great idea!" he said, and then proceeded to lean in and kiss the girl *on
the lips!*
Before he could see me, I jumped into some nearby bushes. "NANI?!?!" Why was
he kissing this girl?
"Aishiteru, Sakura-chan," Mamo-chan said.
"Aishiteru, Sagashi-chan."
"NANI?!?!?!" I fell over in shock, and my jaw flew open. My ice cream fell
in the dirt, and I was steamed. Not only 'cause of my lost ice cream, but
'cause Mamo-chan was with this girl who didn't seem to know that his name
was Mamoru and he was letting her call him Sagashi-chan instead...*What* was
going on?! I watched as they headed over to the ice cream stand, with huge
lovesick smiles on both their faces.
My appetite was gone by now anyway, but still...my lovely ice cream
cone...and what was going on? I decided to spy on the two of them, just to
see what that *rat* Mamoru-baka was doing! So...he had another girlfriend? I
began to laugh. It was really kind of funny. Here, Usagi thought that they
were going to get married and become King and Queen of Crystal Tokyo, and
Mamo-chan was buying this Sakura girl ice cream!
That *had* to mean something important. He rarely bought Usagi ice cream,
well, rarely that I knew of. And he bought me ice cream *sometimes.* "Shimatta!" I had just realized something...if Mamoru-baka and Usagi don't get married...then I wouldn't exist at all..
From my hiding place, I heard Rei's voice. "Usagi you are such a klutz!" I
couldn't let Usagi see this!
"Rei, why are you always so mean to me?!"
"Yes, Rei-chan, couldn't you be a little nicer to her?" It was Ami-chan. "Sometimes people are just naturally clumsy."
Usagi sweat dropped, then protested. "Ami-chaaaan!"
I ran out of the bushes and glomped on Usagi "I'm so happy to see you! Can
you take me to the park? Let's go, right now!" I grabbed her by the hand,
and yanked her away from the ice cream stand. But, Usagi and the Fates
decided to be most un-cooperative.
"Chibiusa, we were coming over her to get ice cream!" I noticed that Rei had
spotted *him* with Sakura and she started pulling Usagi towards the park
too. I was *chou* greatful.
"Come on Usagi, we haven't been to the park in a while."
"Please? Let's go now!" I tried to drag her away. "I heard there's a new
movie being filmed there! With some really cute guy starring in it!"
Usagi grinned. "A new movie! Who? WHO?"
"Umm...David Duchovny-sama! Come on, let's go!"
"SUGOI! LETS GO, MINNA!" Usagi bolted towards the park as fast as lightning.
"Phew..." I said.
"Chibiusa-chan, why did you lie to her?" Minako asked. "There's no movie
being filmed today."
"Umm...well..."
"That wasn't a very nice thing to do," Makoto chided. "Especially to your
mother!"
"Promise me, you can't tell Usagi-chan this, minna-chan!" I was desperate
that she not find out. I didn't want her to get hurt.
"Nani?" Ami asked.
"Please! Tell me you won't tell her..."
"That Mamoru-san is standing over there with some girl eating ice cream."
Rei just *had* to go and blurt it out. Everyone turned around and looked.
"Rei-chan! Not so loud!" I was worried that Usagi or Mamoru had heard us.
"Let me at him!!!!" Mako-chan was furious, and she looked ready to beat him
into a bloody pulp, but Rei held her back.
"Are you sure they're not just friends?" Ami asked.
"Umm...Mamo-chan went to kiss her...*on the lips*...and he's buying her ice
cream! I'm gonna spy on him, and find out what exactly he's doing with her.
I know that her name's Sakura..."
"Hmm... maybe I should go with you, Chibiusa-chan. You may need the Senshi
of Love to help with this situation, ne?"
"Umm...I think you all need to keep Usagi distracted..."
"She's right," Makoto agreed. "We can't let Usagi find out until we know for
certain what's going on." Everyone else quickly agreed to this as well.
"Okay, how about we have a sleepover at my place tonight?" Rei suggested.
"We can make sure Usagi doesn't go anywhere."
"Good idea!" I was glad that the Senshi were going to help protect Usagi.
"Chibiusa-chan, you'll come?" Ami asked.
"Hai! And, I'll find some way to tell you all what I found out..."
"Usagi will probably be late anyway." Rei pointed out
I noticed that Mamoru and Sakura had their ice creams. "Well, I'd better go
for now, Mamo-chan is leaving. See you tonight! Chibiusa, Suuupa Spy!" I
posed, and flashed the V-sign. The girls laughed at my exuberance, and we
agreed to meet up later. Then, they left for the park, and I pulled out my
handy spying resourse. "Luna P Disguise Power! Turn me into a brunette
teenager with sugoi rollerblades!" After I was disguised, I took off after
Mamo-chan and that Sakura girl, careful not to follow too closely.
"What time is the dinner reservation for tonight?"
"8:30," Mamoru said.
'Nani?!? Dinner reservations?!?!' This was CHOU serious! What was he doing,
the baka? The nerve of him! Didn't he care about me at all? If he and Usagi
didn't get married, then I wouldn't exist! How could he forget about me so
easily?
Mamoru stopped in the path up ahead, and Sakura asked "Daijobou?"
"Nani? Oh, gomen, I felt like someone was watching us." He shrugged, and
then continuted to walk, ever so slowly. I was getting chou steamed with him
by this point, and when I get steamed, I start moving fast. I didn't notice
him stop and then move until it was too late. "OOF!"
Mamoru yelped, and then fell to the ground. "YAHHH!"
"Sagashi-chan!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Ugh...Gomen." I was wishing that I had knocked down Sakura instead. She was
too pretty, too skinny...and her hair was much too red to not be fake.
Mamoru looked over at me. "Daijobu?"
"Haaai...I think so." He had more or less broken my fall. "And you?" Mamoru nodded, and then proceeded to help me up. "Arigatou"
"Uh... do I know you?" Mamoru asked.
"Umm...I don't think so...Are you and your girlfriend alright?"
"Actually, I'm his fiancee." Mamoru nodded again. "But yes, we're fine."
My eyes nearly bugged out of my head as they said that. "Ahh...that's...good." 'BAKA!!! KUTABARE!!!' I was yelling inside. "How long have you two been engaged?"
" About a month now." Mamoru smiled over at her.
Sakura looked at her watch, then exclaimed "Sagashi-chan, I have to go!
Okaasan and I are going to look at wedding dresses."
I was about ready to kill Mamo-baka by then. "Well, that's just great." I
gave them a huge smile, which was too close to my Chibiusa-looking one, but
this one was definitely fake. "Sorry for bumping into you!" I booked it out
of there as fast as I could. I decided to continue to follow Mamo-baka, but
more discreetly this time. There was NO way on earth that he could be
engaged to this other girl! He wasn't allowed, cuz I said so! How could he
be so selfish and forget about me?!
Mamoru headed off, in the direction of Crown's. There was NO way I was gonna
let myself not exist. Chou scary thought! I ducked into an alley by Crown's
after following Mamoru there, and changed my disguise, then entered in time
to hear Mamorou and Motoki's conversation.
"Motoki-kun! Konichiwa!"
"Konichiwa. Where's Usagi-chan?"
"Who? Oh, wait. She's with her friends somewhere, I think. Didn't I tell
you? We broke up."
" Nani yo?!" Motoki fell over in shock. "But why, I thought everything was
working out great!?"
"She's just not my type. Besides, she's still young." Mamoru's eyes
flickered with...something. " And, I'm engaged."
Motoki stared at him. "You're WHAT??"
"I'm what?!" His eyes flickered again. " Oh wait, I just told you!"
"Forgive me if I'm a little shocked. I mean, what happened to 'I found the
girl of my dreams. I found my soulmate'?!"
"Oh, but I have. Usagi was...just a fad."
"A fad?!?!" Crap...I said that out loud...I hoped that nobody had heard me.
I couldn't believe what Mamoru was saying...
"Chibiusa!" Rats, they had heard me, and Mamoru had somehow seen through my
disguise.
"Umm...do I know you? And, my name's not Chibiusa, it's..Reiko"
" Gomen, Reiko-san, but you...sounded like someone I know."
"Oh...eh heh heh...that's quite alright. I was just saying that this new
game could become a fad, it's so cool!" I patted the good old Sailor V game.
The *old* Sailor V game. Mamoru just stared at me.
" Reiko-san, would you like something to drink?" I was greatful that Motoki
had broken the *chou* embarassing moment.
"Sure, that'd be great!" I beamed at him. "I'll have an iced tea!" Motoki
left to get my drink.
"Sailor V is an *old* video game, Reiko-san."
"Uhh...is it? I'm so new at playing video games...you wanna help me learn
how to play it? I bet you're REALLY good..."
"Not really, I don't play video games at all."
"No?" Drat, I thought. I'm gonna have to find some other way to dig info
outta him, for the sake of my own future! "Well," I said, turning away from
the game, "what *do* you like to do?"
"I like to read and spend time with my fiancee."
"Fiancee?" I was about ready to kill Mamoru-baka. How could he do this to
Usagi? To me? They were engaged for a month, and he had been seeing my
*mother* up until two weeks ago. "She must be a lucky girl...I bet she's
really pretty."
"She's gorgeous! And extremely smart and funny!" Mamoru beamed. I wanted to
knock that grin off his face, but I restrained myself.
"Ah...how did you two meet? I love hearing about couples in love!"
"Sakura-chan and I met at school. She's majoring in botony like me."
"Ahh, that's nice." 'Wait a minute,' I thought. 'Since when was Mamoru
majoring in botany?' "What school do you go to?"
"Tokyo University, why?"
"Oh, I was just curious." 'Mamoru went to another school, I thought to
myself."
"Well, Reiko-san, I have to be going. It was nice meeting you."
"Hai, it was very nice to meet you. What did you say your name was?"
"Gamen Sagashi." Mamoru stood up." Ja ne, Reiko-san!"
"Ja ne!" I waved goodbye. 'Wait a minute!!!' Things were chou wierd
here...it was Mamoru, I knew it was. But, he said his name was Gamen
Sagashi. I decided to continue to follow him, and see what was going to
happen next. Whatever was happening was *chou* strange. I slipped down
another alley, and turned back into my regular self, then followed him.
Mamoru turned around and spotted me. "Chibiusa, how are you?"
"I'm...fine." There was a bit of an akward pause, as I tried to figure out
what the heck was going on. But, I decided to just pretend that I was cute
lil me and had no idea about Sakura. "I was looking for you, what have you
been up to all day?"
"Not much. I was looking for Usako, have you seen her?"
"Umm, I think they're all at Rei-chan's...why?"
"I won't be able to have dinner with her, something came up."
"Oh? Nani?"
"I just received this huge project for computer class and we only have a
week to get it finished."
"Ohhh...maybe Ami-chan can help you with it after. I'm sure one little night
won't make any difference...besides, she'll be so disappointed."
"I know, but I really should get it finished."
"Pleeeease?"
"When you see her, let her know. I have to get going. Ja ne!" Mamoru ran
off.
Ugh...that...that...pain in the butt! How dare he?! I was going to go and
tell the girls exactly what was going on, then and there! How dare he do
something like this! Why...if he and Usagi didn't marry...then I wouldn't
exist! I could almost feel myself fading away. How could I not exist? The
very thought was tragic...What would happen to me? Nobody would remember me,
if I never actually existed...I began to panic. I had to do something...
