Usagi sat in her bedroom with tear after
tear rolling down her cheeks. 'After everything
he loves another girl. I knew it.' she thought.
The thought just provoked another stream of
tears.
When her phone rang she jumped. She had
been tuning everything out for the past hour
thinking about Mamoru. 'How can this be
happening to me?' she wondered as she walked
to the phone. She tried to make herself sound
as calm as possible when she answered it.
"Hello?" she asked into the reciever.
"Usako!"
"Mamoru?" she asked dully like she could've
stood to hear anyone else's voice in the
universe on the other end of the phone.
"Yeah. Uh I was just thinking-" he started.
"Mamoru we have got to talk." she said
interrupting him.
"Ah. O.K." he said sounding uneasy, he
knew she'd sounded funny. He picked up
on something right away when she had
called him Mamoru. He couldn't remember
the last time she'd called him that. Yes he could.
She hated his guts the last time she'd called him
that.
"Mamoru if you think you can get away
with seeing another girl you are sadly
mistaken!"
"Wha- Usagi I'm no-"
"Don't talk! Let me finish! I saw that
pretty girl you were with this afternoon."
"Usako. That's my sister."
She laughed. "Oh PLEASE! Some
guys might be able to get away with
that with THEIR girlfriends but I'm not
one of them! You don't have any family
remember?!"
'Ouch! That stung.' he thought to himself.
He didn't know if he could take any more
remarks like that. So he decided that there
was only one thing to do.
"Mamoru I can NOT believe that you
could-" she stopped. All of a sudden
she heard a dial tone at the other end
of the line. She was enraged. He
hung up on her! The nerve!
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*
Rei looked absolutely disgusted. "You mean
he said that half-wit was his sister? I told you
guys. You can not trust men. I trusted him myself
and look where it got me! Hating guys for the
rest of my life."
Usagi sighed. She agreed with Rei whether she
wanted to or not. Minako however, had
a different oppinion. "Oh whatever Rei! Guys
are so awesome!" she said as a dreamy look
washed over her face.
"O.K. then. How do you explain this Minako-chan?
He's made Usagi-chan completely miserable!" Rei said,
starting to get annoyed with Minako's lack of understanding.
"Simple. There's a bad apple in every bunch." she said with
a little smile that showed she'd won that one. That made the score:
Rei:127, Minako:1.
Suddenly a little voice piped up. "I think you are ALL wrong!"
It was Chibi-Usa, and to put it mildly, she was ticked.
"Mamo-chan would NEVER intentionally hurt Usagi."she
said taking Mamoru's side yet again. "And another thing! You
guys better get back together!" she said to Usagi warningly.
"Why? So he can do it again?" Usagi said miserably.
"No. If you and Mamo-chan don't patch things up," she
started calmly and sweetly, "THEN GUESS WHICH
ONE OF US ISN'T BORN!"
"I WANNA BE BORN USAGI!!!! SO GET IT TOGETHER!!!"
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*
Usagi walked home feeling another heavy
weight on her shoulders. Chibi-Usa had brought
the grim reality that she wouldn't be born to Usagi's
attention if they didn't get back together. But Usagi
didn't even want to look at that coniving, sneaky,
jerky...thing! Her brain was so overloaded she couldn't
think of anything better to call him. I mean it.
Yeah. From now on, she'd call him it. Because
he had no feelings, he had no simpathy.
She opened the door to her room and
laid across her bed. 'Why oh, why, did
Chibi-Usa have to point that out?' she
questioned.
RING! Usagi jumped about a foot in the
air. She had'nt known her communicator
was right next to her head when it went off.
"Hello? Moon here."
"Usagi-chan! There's an emergency
scout meeting at Rei's temple today at
5:00. Oh and Usagi, be on time for this
one! Rei said it was urgent. Mercury out!"
"I'll be there Mercury don't worry! Moon out!"
She glanced up at her clock. 4:08. She would have
just enough time to get there if she left in 10 minutes.
But she left then so she could catch an earlier bus
just in case Usagi's typical luck wasn't going to
change. She put on her black uniform shoes and
left her school uniform on and headed to Sendai Hill.
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*
She arrived at the temple at 4:50. Yes! She was early
for once in her life. When she stepped in she thought
Rei was going to have a heart attack. She jumped up.
"Usagi-chan! You-you're- on TIME!!! In fact, you're EARLY!!"
"Shut up Rei. What's this meeting about anyway?"
Rei shrugged. "I don't know. The outer senshi said
we needed to have an emergency meeting so I offered
to let this be our meeting place. It's too risky to use
the control room everytime."
Usagi nodded.
About ten minutes later everyone was there. Moon,
Chibi-Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
"O.K. guys. What's up?" Minako asked after the last person
had walked in. Which was Chibi-Moon. (Look personality traits
run in the family! was her excuse for being late)
Uranus and Neptune shrugged while Pluto glanced at all of
the Senshi. "We are all not here yet." Setsuna explained.
"Well sure we are!" exclaimed Mokato who was sitting
in between Usagi and Chibi-Usa, who was going to
probobly play referee all night for them.
Setsuna shook her head. "When the time is right."
They all fell silent. They knew better than to argue
with Setsuna on time matters. Besides they all felt
as if something was missing.
Suddenly the door opened and on the other side was
Mamoru followed by...that girl again!
Usagi leapt to her feet. Mokato and Minako stuck their arms
out in front of her. They weren't sure why but they
knew not to let her by. She'd kill Mamoru and that girl.
Her eyes began to get teary. "Ma-Mamoru? Why do
keep doing this?" she whispered while looking
at her feet. She couldn't face him.
He left the girl's side and walked toward Usagi.
"Usagi. It's like I told you the other day. She's my
sister. Not in this life. Back when we were in the
Golden Kingdom. She was my younger sister."
Usagi looked up at him. She opened her mouth
to say something and he prepared himself. He knew
once Usagi made up her mind about something she
always insisted on it. "Usako." she whispered. "I hate
when you call me Usagi."
Please Review minna!!!!! Arigato!!!!
