You can leave home all you want to, but you can never really leave it.
Usagi realized that when she returned. Just standing in the town she had grown
up in, with all its familiarity, she felt comforted. She walked past the
arcade, the OSAP, the walkway where she first slipped and fell, the school where
she got her first F, and the park where she was first discovered...

[Five Years Ago]

"USSAAGGIII!! Quit whining!!"

Usagi looked up at Rei, tears welling in her eyes. "BUT REI! IT"S
SO HOT!!!"

"Stop being a baby! Crying about the weather isn't going to change anything!
Now, let's go eat our lunch.

"FFOOOOOOOD????!!!!!"

Usagi's tears dried up instantly at the mention of one of Makoto's wonderful
picnic lunches. Her eyes veered towards the food, her body following.

Four girls shook their heads as Usagi attacked the food. This was their
first picnic since the defeat of Chaos. No diamons to fight. No people to
protect. They could finally relax and be what they were, teenage girls.

"Beautiful, just beautiful." A male voice stated. Four heads turned towards the
voice that disturbed their peace. Rei's eyes glazed, Makoto sighed, and Minako
squealed. This guy was gorgeous, and they all had eyes for him. He had eyes
only for Usagi, who had eyes for nothing but her food. "Such
passion! Such emotion! I must have her!" He flipped his medium length
auburn hair out of his eyes and studied the blonde goddess that would
save his career.

Oblivious to all but the food, Usagi never noticed the hand that descended upon
her shoulder. She cried out. Turning, she looked into the greenest eyes that she
had ever seen.

"You're the one!"

[Present day]

Usagi looked up at the sky and sighed. That was the day her life turned to
hell. She turned the last familiar corner and entered that
hell once again. In front of her house was a mob of reporters, all of
them there to see her. Usagi tried her hardest to think of a way that would
enable her to avoid them, when one of them spotted her. Like vultures on a warm
day, they flocked to surround their quarry. It was like a prison for Usagi; a
wall of people with no means of escape.

"Tsukino-san, why are you home?"
"Tsukino-san, are you ever going to resume acting?"
"Tsukino-san, is this all a hoax?"
"Tsukino-san!!"
"Tsukino-san!!"
"TSUKINO-SAN!!"

Questions flew at her from every direction. The reporters closed in on her until
she felt she would die from suffocation. She tried to move past them, tried to
head home, but there were so many of them. Usagi cried out in frustration. She
wanted out of that lifestyle, out of that horror,
out of that chaos.

Pushing her way through the crowd, Usagi felt the onset of a panic attack. The
added adrenaline this gave her helped her to fight her way to freedom. Running
as fast as she could, she rounded the wall that surrounded her parents house and
bolted through the front door just as the full impact of the panic attack hit
her. She collapsed to the floor.

Having come running at the sound of all the commotion, Usagi's parents found
their daughter prostrate on the floor, the media snapping pictures and shooting
film with no pity for their most recent news sensation.

Gently lifting their daughter from the floor of their home's entryway, Usagi's
parents fought their way through the crowd of reporters and raced her to the
hospital.
