~*~*~*~*~*~

Many years have passed. Usagi is 14, and a happy little child...
but she does have issues. Her Grandmother was getting on her
case again. She wanted her to pick up her grades. but why did
she have to? She was happy as she was.

Usagi sighed and continued her walk down main street when she
saw something out of the corner of her eye. Mamoru.

Usagi blushed and walked a little faster. No one must know that
she had a crush on him. For years Usagi has been watching
him from a distance, yet was afraid to show herself. They have
never met face to face...but it was hard not to know him when
every girl in town was after him. But is that why she liked him?
No, it was because he was so like her. He too had lost his parents
at a young age and had to fend for himself. That connection alone
was enough for her.

Finally, after the long walk, she made it to Rei's temple and they
began the 'party'. Every week Usagi, Ami, Raye, Minako, and Makoto
get together and just hang out. No one knows how this tradition
started, for they have been friends for a very long time.

"So Usagi" Rei called as Usagi entered the temple. "Late again I
see"

"Quiet Rei" Usagi exclaimed. "Grandma made me clean the house
again."

The group gave each other knowing looks. Usagi was an orphan.
Ever since the age of two, when her parents were in that accident, her
'Grandmother' has taken care of her. No one knows where she came
from, of if she really was her grandmother. All they knew at the
time was that someone was there to take care of the little girl...
and that they didn't have too. Life had been hard on Usagi. Her
grandmother pushed her was too hard. To Usagi's friends, the Grandmother
seemed evil. Rei never liked going to their house. It was creepy
and gave her weird feelings. No one thought that there was anything
really normal about that old women, except the one person that
actually cares for her.

"Shut up you guys!"

All looked at each other, startled

"what?" Makoto piped up "We didn't say anything"

"It was those looks, it's always those looks." Usagi jumped up and
ran out the door. The group thought nothing of it. This had happened
before, and this probably would happen again.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Out of the shadows came a black cat with a crescent moon on her
forehead. Still unseen by the group of girls, Luna decided that
now was the time to bring forth the Sailor Scouts...they were ready.


Luna watched as the rest of the scouts continued
on with their 'party'. She was plagued with thoughts
about Usagi though. Sailor
Moon has a lot of trouble ahead of her. But if she
is strong enough, she will prevail. But the question
was...is she strong enough?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Usagi ran down the street, trying to keep the tears at
bay. Was her Grandmother that bad? She had thought of
that, but had always stopped before her thoughts could get
to far. How could she think that of her Grandmother when
she was the only one in the world that was there for her.
Sure she was strict but....Whack! Usagi went down with a
thud, and dragged the other poor soul down with her.

"Gomen" she said softly, to startled to do anything else.
When she raised her eyes just a bit so she could see who it was
she knocked down, she ran into the most gorgeous blue
eyes she had ever seen. Bluer than the ocean on a clear day,
and more blue than the ocean in a crisp autumn sky. And they
belonged to her secret love Mamoru.

~*~

"Gomen." He heard the soft voice that melted in his ears. A
soft sound that was Melodious and sensual. At first he was to
shook up to say anything, but eventually he looked down and met
the eyes of the prettiest girl he had ever seen in his life.
Long sultry blond hair that covered her shoulders after falling
from an odd style that lay atop her head, soft facial curves that
made him want to trace every little feature with his fingers, and
a kissable mouth that made him think little of else. These features
belonged to his secret love. Though he knew not her name, he felt a
connection to her that he could not explain. He has watched her
over the years...but never bothered to learn her name. Was it time
to ask for her name? Was it time for them to be together?

Mamoru eventually composed himself. They were in the middle of
the street and they were just staring at each other. "What is
your name I ask? You owe me as much after you knocked me down."

Usagi let out a startles squeak. This wasn't a dream, and he was
there talking to her. Scared for the security that she placed highly
around her heart, she stood up and ran off without a backward glance,
leaving Mamoru to wonder what he had done wrong.

~*~

Mamoru entered his apartment and let out a defeated sigh. He just
screwed up the perfect opportunity to meet the women of his dreams.
He had to find out what her name was. He was content before knowing
that she was around and staying in the foreground...but for some reason,
he knew something was changing and felt that he had to get closer to her
to protect her. But did he only want to protect her? No her wanted to
love her, and have him love her.

~*~

Usagi ran up to her room, careful not to disturb her sleeping
grandmother, and threw herself on the bed. giving herself to the
sobbing, Usagi stayed like that and rocked back and forth, a comfort
action that was always able to keep the bad thoughts away before...
but did not seem to help now. It was times like this that she did
hate her grandmother. she felt that given time, she could easily fall in
love with Mamoru given the chance. She wasn't allowed to fall in love
though, her thoughts were to stay at getting revenge for all of the
wrong doings against her grandmother. She had made that promise all those
years ago that she would avenge her. How could she break her word now?
She was mad at all the people in that tale for screwing with her life
this way, even if it was unintentional. The evil Queen and her mysterious
warriors plagued at her mind all of the time. Her Grandmother never let
it rest, so of course she never forgot it. Every night like clockwork
Grandmother told the same story. Usagi had known the story by heart when
she was six, so listening to the story every night was just to make her
Grandmother happy because it seemed that the only time she was ever happy
was when Usagi made her nightly promise "I will avenge you"
