Disclaimer: Sailormoon not mine. However, Fenikkusu Kirei *is* mine,
so please ask before you use her. Oh yeah, and the song 'Don't Wanna
Lose You Now' is not mine, it's by the Backstreet Boys, and the
Backstreet Boys aren't mine either.

Kirei and Motoki walked back to Usagi's apartment laughing merrily,
but they were greeted by four solemn faces.

"Minna-chan? Daijobou?"

"Usagi left."

"Hai, with Mamoru-san, right?"

"Iie." Quickly, the girls recapped the story.

Kirei shut her eyes as tears flooded them. Motoki wrapped her in his
arms, and whispered soothing words into her ears. She buried her face in his
chest.

Makoto tried to cheer up the group. "Well, at least one date worked
out right tonight."

~*~ Plane to Canada ~*~

Unbeknowest to Usagi, Mamoru was sitting mere aisles away on the same
first place section on the same plane heading towards Toronto. Neither knew
the other was on the plane. Usagi was sitting near the front, and Mamoru was
sitting in the back. Next to Usagi was an overweight woman who blocked her sight,
so she couldn't see Mamoru when he walked by. He didn't see her either.
Together, they listened to the same station the plane provided. Their hearts
skipped when a song came on that fit the situation perfectly.

I never thought that I could lose my mind
That I could control this
Never thought that I'd be left behind
That I was stronger than you
Baby
Girl if only I knew what I've done
You know
So why don't you tell me
I would bring back the moon and the sun
To show you I care

Don't wanna lose you now
I know we can win this
Don't wanna lose you now
No now, or ever again

I've got this feeling you're not gonna stay
The fear of losing
Of slipping away
It's burning within me
It just keeps getting closer, baby
Whatever reason to leave that I had
My place was always beside you
And I wish that I didn't need you so bad
Your face just won't go away

Don't wanna lose you now
Baby, I know we can win this
Don't wanna lose you now
Not now, or ever again

I never thought that I would lose my mind
That I could control this
Never thought that I'd be left behind
That I was stronger than you

Don't want to lose to loneliness
Girl I know we can win
Don't wanna lose to emptiness, oh no
Never again

Don't wanna lose you now
Baby, I know we can win this
Don't wanna lose you now
Not now, or ever again

Don't wanna lose you now..

Usagi wiped the tears from her eyes. No, she wouldn't cry over him,
not anymore. He was gone.

Mamoru sighed and fought back the tears. He would get her back if it
was the last thing he did.

~*~ Toronto General ~*~

Usagi walked into the familiar doors, refreshed. "Hey Serena!"

She waved, "Hi Jon!"

This kept reocurring. Doctors, nurses, and patients would greet her.
The most enthusiastic greetings, however, were from the male population.
Usagi did not notice this though.

Meanwhile, Mamoru *did* notice. He was silently following her,
clenching his fists in anger whenever she would hug an old male colleague.
Gathering his courage, he tapped her on the shoulder.

Usagi swirled around, a huge grin on her face. That grin dropped when
she saw who it was. "Chiba-san."

His heart twisted painfully when he heard her say his name so formally.

Noticing Usagi's sudden tension, the man Usagi was talking to put a
protective hand on her shoulder. "Is he bothering you, Rena?"

Mamoru sneered, "Rena." He laughed bitterly at the name.

"No, but thanks anyway, Harrison." She pecked him on the cheek and
motioned for Mamoru to follow.

"So it's Rena now, is it?"

She turned around and looked at him coldly. "What are you doing here?
Are you just here to criticize my new life?"

His heart stopped. He had no clue that she was capable of being so
cold. "Iie, Usako, I-"

Switching to Japanese, Usagi cut him off, "It's Serena now, and even
if it wasn't, you have no right to call me Usako."

"Let me explain, onegai." He continued when Usagi didn't say anything.
"Karla," she flinched at the name, "surprised me as much as she surprised you.
I tried to get her off me, I did. When you thought I was moaning her name,
I said, 'Karla, iie.' After you left, I threw her out of my apartment. I
never loved her. That slut just ruined everything. I meant what I said when
I called you Usako." He turned around to hide his shimmering tears.

Usagi was shocked. "So what now, Mamoru? Do you expect me to crawl
into your arms crying hysterically? For us to get together and live happily
ever after? Get married and have children?" She cried to him with teary
eyes.

"Hai, demo you don't have to cry hysterically."

Sniffling, she buried her head in his chest. "Hai, I do."

Mamoru held her tightly, afraid that this was just a dream. She
looked up to him with hopeful, watery eyes. He placed a hand under her
chin and brushed her lips with his thumb. Gently, he bent his head down
and kissed her. The kiss had started off softly and innocently, but slowly
the passion increased. Usagi could feel his tongue gently prodding her lips
to open, caressing the inside of her mouth. She returned the favour. When
the kiss finally ended, Usagi found her hands on his chest, and Mamoru with
his hands on her waist.

The hospital staff who were watching the scene applauded, and
somebody yelled out, "Record time! One minute and thirty four seconds!"
Others were catcalling and whistling. The male population had lost Usagi
and the female population had lost Mamoru, but they were happy that their
beloved Usagi had finally found someone who made her happy.

Mamoru stroked her cheek lovingly and whispered in her ear, "So
it's happily ever after now, is it?"

~*~ Three months later ~*~

"Do you, Chiba Mamoru, take this woman to be your lawfully
wedded wife?"

The tall dark haired man smiled at his bride. "I do."

"And do you, Tsukino Usagi, take this man to be your lawfully
wedded husband?"

With a grin that stretched for miles, she replied, "I do."

"You may now kiss the bride."

Mamoru wiped away the tears of happiness in his new wife's
eyes and bent down to her awaiting lips. A bit later, a voice, the
same one as the one in the hospital yelled, "Another new record! Two
minutes and three seconds! Woo hoo!"

Catcalls were heard, and the bridesmaids hugged the bride
excitedly. "So, when are you going to tell him, Usa-chan?"

She looked around at the girls. "Now."

Usagi turned to her husband, who was presently getting
congratulation pats on the back, and hugged him from the back. She
whispered, "Guess what?"

He turned around and held her in his arms, "What?"

"I'm pregnant."

"Nani? How far along are you?" Happiness flooded his sense.
Yes, this was the best day of his life.

"Three months."

Estatic, he pulled her into another kiss. They didn't come
up for air until Kirei joked, "Come on, there'll be enough time for
*that* later on your honeymoon!" She winked as the two blushed.
"Let's get to the reception!"

Nodding, Mamoru picked Usagi up and ran down the aisle, and
into a car. Squealing, Usagi kissed him again and whispered,
"Ai shiteru, Mamo-chan."

"Ai shiteru, Usako."
