Time travels at speeds of light, but the
healing effect that time could have had
on Usagi was much slower than that. For
once I felt as helpless as the other
Senshi - there was nothing I could do.

The sun peaking through the clouds
shined off the black fur of a certain cat
and caused her to awaken. Yawning, Luna
stretched her legs and bared her claws
for a second. "Usagi-chan, time to get
up!"

Silence.

This was normal, if Usagi ever
woke up on the first try, Luna swore
she'd pass out then and there.
"Usagi-chan!!"

This time she expected at least
a yawn, a muffled reply or perhaps a
pillow flying at her. When none of this
happened, Luna chanced looking up at
the bed...

...And gasped.

Not only was Usagi not in her
bed, but she hadn't slept it in either.
Not completely panicked yet, but
somewhere on the boarder of it - Luna
ran downstairs to check for her mistress.

Upon finding a completely Usagi-free
house, Luna did panic. Her paws padded up
the stairs quickly and found Usagi's
communicator. "Senshi! Come in!"

Somewhere around three seconds later,
the half asleep sound of Minako's voice
came over the communicator. "Hai Luna?"

"Usagi's missing!"

"What?!" was the sound of at least
four other Senshi.

"Are you sure?" Rei asked
skeptically.

Luna rolled her eyes. "Do you think
I'd contact you if I wasn't sure that she's
not here and hasn't been here since last
night?"

"You left her in her room last night,
alone?!" Haruka shouted.

"She was very upset last night over
her hair, her mother finding out and then
Tuxedo Kamen.. maybe that wasn't the best
choice to make," Ami reprimanded Luna
quietly, wondering why she even opened
her mouth to begin with.

Luna looked heavenwards. "I know it
wasn't the best thing to do, but what was
I suppose to say? She needs time away from
us."

Silence issued over the communicator
waves. Finally Rei's face dominated the
tiny screen. "Let's go look for her!"

~*~ Two hours later - Tokyo Gardens ~*~

Ami snuck up quietly behind a bench
that Usagi was sitting on. The air was quiet
and calm, and Ami wondered what Usagi was
in such deep thought about. Instead of
getting on her communicator to inform the
others she found the Princess, she chanced
sitting down on the bench instead.

"Usagi-chan?" she spoke up quietly.

Silence.

Ami raised an eyebrow and tried again,
a little louder. "Usagi-chan?"

The silver haired girl turned slowly
and smiled. "Look Ami-chan," she motioned
for the ring on her finger. "I'm getting
married!"

Ami gasped slightly but didn't get
another word in until Usagi started
chattering away. "He loves me so much;
it's a wonderful feeling. He said when
he gets back that we'll get married and
he'll never leave me again. Isn't that
sweet of him?" she continued dreamily.
Suddenly she grabbed Ami's hand tightly
and started talking in a low whisper,
"Will you be my maid of honor? I want all
of you all in the wedding, but I'd really
like for you to be my maid of honor. But
if you don't want to, Rei will do it, I
know."

"Usagi-chan, Mamoru-san is--"

"Oh I know it won't be for another
couple of years, but these things take
time to plan you know," she smiled and
winked.

Ami couldn't stand it anymore,
tears filled her eyes and she grabbed
Usagi by the shoulders. "Usagi-chan!
Listen to me! He's gone, Usagi. Mamoru
is dead!"

Blank blue eyes found Ami's. "What
are you talking about?" Usagi inquired,
a silly smile plastered on her face.

Still holding on to her shoulders,
Ami started shaking her. "USAGI! Listen
to me! He's DEAD! You have to stop this
Usagi-chan, please!! He's Gone!"

"What?" Usagi's eyes narrowed and
she moved away from the blue haired girl.
"What are you talking about?! You're
lying! I can't believe you Ami!"

Crying out of frustration and heartache,
Ami tried reasoning with her. "Usagi-chan,
listen. Gomen nasai, but he's gone. He's
dead, you know this Usagi. Bringing him
back this way is only going to make it
worse on yourself."

"No," Usagi whispered. "No."

Before Ami could react, Usagi ran
out of the park and into the night.
