Two months has passed. Luna and Artemis were at Crown Cafe with Yui and Mamoru.
"It's a bit hard to believe," said Luna. "That it's already been two months since Usagi and the others lost their memories of being Sailor Guardians."
"All of them are completely back to being ordinary girls again," said Artemis.
"Yup," agreed Luna.
Artemis snugged closer to Luna as he said, "I was thinking we should also settle down and…"
"W-What're you doing?! screamed Luna as she sweat-dropped. "Pervert!"
Then she scratched him and he screamed in pain as Mamoru and Yui laughed heartedly.
"I miss her so much, though," said Mamoru.
"You remember her?" asked Luna.
"Yes," answered Mamoru. "Thanks to Yui-chan."
As Luna and Artemis turned to Yui with confused looks on their faces, Yui blushed and said, " I asked the Legendary Silver Crystal to let us keep our memories. And it did partially."
"Partially?" asked Artemis.
"Yes," said Yui. "I remember everything from our past life up to my death in this life."
"It's the same with me," said Mamoru. "My love for Usako and even the fact that I'm Tuxedo Kamen."
"And that was my intention," said Yui. "Though 'Tuxedo Kamen' was an added bonus."
"Your intention?" asked Artemis.
"Yes," answered Yui. "After losing our memories and Queen Beryl's brainwashing, they deserve happiness. And I needed my memories in order to properly protect that happiness."
"I don't know what I'd do without you," said Mamoru. "But how are we going to find out if Usako still have her memories?"
"As strange as it sounds…" said Yui. "I don't know, but let's play by ear. I would ask Luna to confirm, but Usagi-chan doesn't even remember you having the ability to talk, right?"
"Yes, answered Luna. "She doesn't."
"I'm sure something will come up which will give us the opportunity to find out," said Yui.

That night a large object came down from the sky and crashed onto an empty parking lot which caused the earth to rumble and shake violently as if it were an earthquake. It eventually found a home in an empty apartment. The next day all of the citizens of the Juban District gathered around the crash site in awe. After bumping into Mizuno Ami and Kino Makoto, Usagi felt a sense of nostalgia and wondered why if strangely felt so familiar. Then she saw she had stepped on a coupon and picked it up. After reading it, she delightfully squealed, "Wow! Sweets are 80% off! I'm definitely going here!"
Then she heard a voice within the crowd say, "If you eat nothing but sweets, you'll turn your body into a bun too, Odango U…sa…ko."
She became annoyed before realizing there was only one person in the whole world that would call her 'Usako.' She turned around and said, "Mamo-chan…?"
"Yo," said Mamoru.
"Mamo-chan!" Usagi squealed as she ran into his arms. "It's been forever since we were last together. Though, somehow, I get the strangest feeling that it hasn't been that long."
"Yes," said Mamoru as he dipped down. "You lost something that is probably just as precious as I am. But that doesn't matter right now."
His mouth encased hers. When he lifted her up, she wrapped her legs around his waist. Their kiss went deeper as time went on. Eventually, they broke for air and he said, "God, I've been wanting to do that for the longest time."
"Mmmm," she responded. "But why did you have to be so rude to me?"
"I love you," he said. "I can't help myself. But it's the truth. You'll become a bun if you eat too much."
"Mamo-chan…!" said Usagi, annoyed as she playfully slapped him. "I can't help myself either."

That night, Luna and Artemis were wandering an alleyway when they heard a scream. They went to check it out and gasped at the sight they saw.
"This is…" said Artemis.
"She's been drained of her energy!" said Luna. "My apprehensions were on the mark!"
"What should we do?" asked Artemis. "Shall we bring everyone back?"
"We can't do that!" Luna answered. "Not after they're finally living as ordinary girls…"
"Then we have no choice," said Artemis. "We'll have to do this just the two of us."
"No," said a voice behind them. "We will back you up."
They looked behind them and saw Yui and Tuxedo Kamen standing there. But before they could say anything another scream was heard.
Naru, who was in her room talking on the phone with Usagi, opened her window and wondered, "What was that?"
As Usagi asked her if anything was wrong, the monster took notice of Naru and attacked her, draining her energy.
Luna, Artemis, Tuxedo Kamen, and Yui jumped into her room and Artemis exclaimed, "A youma?!"
"Vampir," said the monster
The monster heard him and looked over his shoulder as Luna said, "It's not the same! I gotta say that girl sure gets her energy sucked a lot."
"This is no time to be impressed!" exclaimed Artemis.
The four of them attacked but was overwhelmed. After realizing that they were no match for it, they heard Usagi's voice call out, "Naru-chan!"
"What's going on up there?" asked Naru's mother.
"I think something's wrong!" answered Usagi.
"Usagi-chan," Luna exclaimed.
Usagi opened the door. As Naru's mother fainted at the sight of the monster, Usagi exclaimed as she froze, "M-monster! It's a d-dream…this has to be a dream!"
"Run!" shouted Luna. "Usagi, run!"
Usagi started freaking out as she asked, "Why are you talking, Luna?!"
They stared at Usagi as she say, "Wait, it's a dream. It's a dream, after all! If this is a dream, then it should make me the strongest person in the world!"
"Huh…?" wondered Luna.
Usagi turned her attention to Vampir and shouted as she absentmindedly did her Sailor Moon gestures, "Hey! Hey! Hey! Listen up, you monster! Stop bullying Naru-chan, or else I'll punish you!" After realizing what she was saying, she wondered, "'I'll punish you?' Why does that phrase sound so familiar?"
Before anyone can do anything, Vampir attacked Usagi. Luna jumped to attack it but was knocked away. Then she proceeded to drain Usagi's energy as Tuxedo Kamen exclaimed, "Usako!"
"I'm losing my strength…" said Usagi. "T-That's weird…this is supposed to be a dream. Why?"
Artemis angrily attacked and began scratching his face and he ended up releasing Usagi.
"Usako!" exclaimed Tuxedo Kamen, leaping to her side as she collapsed to the floor and slumped over.
Vampir knocked Artemis away. And after landing on his feet, Artemis said, "Come after me!"
He jumped out the window and Vampir followed as Luna called, "Artemis!".
"Stay with her," Yui said to Tuxedo Kamen.
Tuxedo Kamen nodded and Yui leaped out the window, going after Artemis and Vampir.
Tuxedo Kamen and Luna turned their attention back to Usagi as she said, "This is too weird. I'm dreaming, right…?
Luna wondered to herself to what her next step should be. Fearing for Artemis and the townspeople, she felt she no longer had a choice. She turned to Usagi and said, "Usagi-chan, forgive me! Become Sailor Moon once more!"
The crescent moon one her forehead glowed and produced a beam that landed on Usagi's forehead.
Usagi closed her eyes and the final battle with Queen Beryl flashed through her mind. She the sat up with as start as Luna called to her. Usagi looked down at Luna and said,"Luna…we're able to talk to each other again."
"Usagi-chan!" Luna exclaimed, relieved. "Your memory's back!
Usagi nodded. Then she turned her head to Tuxedo Kamen and kissed him passionately. He responded to her onslaught but reluctantly broke contact and said, "As much as I want this, right now is not the time."
"The people of the town are in grave danger!" said Luna. "You have to transform, Usagi!"
"Okay," said Usagi as Tuxedo Kamen helped her to her feet. "Moon Prism Power, Make Up!"
~·~
Meanwhile, Yui and Artemis were having a tough time with Vampir. Eventually, they were caught in the stamen of her flower and drained of their energy until a red rose snapped the connection. Then a voice was heard saying, "Let go of him, you monster!"
Vampir turned her head towards the sound and saw the silhouette of Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Kamen, and Luna.
"I was finally able to be an ordinary girl!" Sailor Moon shouted. "How dare you call me back to the battlefield without my permission! You have no consideration for others!"
"Vampir?!" said Vampir.
"I am the Pretty Guardian who fights for love and justice. Sailor Moon! In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!"
A battle ensued and Vampir still had the upper hand. Eventually, Sailor Moon defeated her with her tiara.
"Artemis!" called Luna. "Are you alright?"
"Y-Yeah…" he said weakly.
"Whew…" said Sailor Moon. "I'm beat."
Then a voice boomed, "Sailor Moon, was it?"
Sailor Moon turned towards the voice and exclaimed, "Yes…Eh?!"
"I had no idea someone like you was on this planet," it said.
"Who are you people?!" demanded Sailor Moon.
"I am Ail," said Ail. "Nomad noble of the universe."
"Likewise," said An. "I am An."
"You were the ones controlling that monster, weren't you," said Sailor Moon.
An laughed and said, "Today was just our way of making your acquaintance."
Ail and An crackled as they disappeared. Then Luna started to say, "Sailor Moon, they… Sailor Moon?
Sailor Moon stared at the sky with tears in her eyes as she softly said, "My ordinary life… Bye-bye."
Tuxedo Kamen walked over to her and pulled her into his arms. She laid her head against his chest as silent tears fell from her eyes. As Yui looked on, she said, "Tuxedo Kamen, take Sailor Moon to our place. I'll go and speak with her parents and retrieve her uniform. Luna…Artemis… You're coming with me."
With that, they went in different directions.
