Tsukino residence, 6:00 a.m.
When Tsukino Ikuko woke up the next morning, her life, along with
the lives of her son and husband, drastically changed. She had gone
to Usagi's room to do the impossible task of waking her up, but
instead, she found a note:

^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~

To Whom It May Concern:

Gomen nasai for leaving so soon and unexpectedly. Okaa-san,
Otou-san, don't worry. I've brought enough money to support me
long enough until I find a job, and hai, I'll finish school, as
unlikely it may seem. Don't forget me...maybe one day I'll come
back and visit. If you want more information, you should talk
to Hino Rei, Mizuno Ami, Aino Minako, Kino Makoto, Ten'oh Haruka,
Kaiou Michiru, Meiou Setsuna, Tomoe Hotaru, or Chiba Mamoru,
otherwise known as my former 'buddies'.

To those stated above, I have three things to ask of you.
True, I may not be worthy of these favours, but please listen.
My first request is for you to please take care of Luna for me.
Second, if you would, please tell my family the complete story.
You know what I mean. Mama, Papa, Shingo, I know you won't betray
my trust. My third and last request is for you to live on happy
without me. True, this may be more of a truth than request, but
for those who will regret what has happened, then please, move on.

No one knows where I'm about to go, for the sake of my
own privacy. Setsuna-san, do not bother trying to find out. Even
you cannot find out. But don't worry, I promise I'll come back and
visit one day.

Hugs, Kisses, and Bunnies, (AN: I *love* that.)

Tsukino Usagi

Cherry Hill Temple, 11:30 a.m.

No way...no way. This is not happening. Usagi-baka
couldn't have run away. She...She doesn't have the brains to do
it! Great...now, to go talk to her 'former friends'...and *him*.
Chiba Mamoru. I bet it's his fault she left. By the look on
Otou-san's face, he thinks so too. That wuss never deserved
Usagi-baka. Not that *I* care, of course.

"Ikuko-san, Tsukino-san, Shingo-san. Arigato for coming.
Would you like some tea?" Who was this? Oh yeah...Hino
something or other. So, all of Usagi-baka's friends are here...
who would've thought a klutz like her would have so many
friends? Wait a sec, Luna's here too?? What's *she* doing
here? And there's another cat that looks just like her...
except white?

Someone clears her throat...what the...? It was Luna! No,
it couldn't be. Yeah, the shock from finding out Usagi's gone is
just getting to me. That's it. I glance over to Usagi's friends.
They didn't seem fazed about it at all. Maybe they didn't hear
it. But Okaa-san, Otou-san? Their faces were as white as a sheet.

"Arigato for coming." WHAT?? LUNA TALKS??

"You...you talk?" Papa stutters. If I weren't so freaked out
myself, I would laugh at the expression on his face.

"Yes, I do. Now, all things will be explained in due time.
I suppose you've read Usagi's goodbye note?" With the mention of
Usagi, the tension in the room gets noticeably thicker. I watch
as her friends tense. Mama nods. "Well, you must be wondering
what the 'whole story' is. A millennia ago, there was a beautiful
kingdom named the Silver Millenium..."

Hours later, Luna finishes. I'm still in shock. Then I laugh,
"Usagi-baka's Sailormoon? A princess? SUGOI!" Then reality hits
me hard. "But she's gone now because of all of you...you're all
sorry excuses for 'protectors'. Yeah, you protect her *so* well! Just
run her out of the country, why don't you?" I can't take it anymore,
so I run out of the temple. I can hear Okaa-san and Otou-san
following.
