Oops, sorry Lafayette, I just realized that those answers
appear in chapter 7, which I completed several days ago. I
guess I'll be working on chapter 8 while this is posted. ^-^;
Please forgive me? I got my chapters confused... Hope you
enjoyed your reply!

And to the rest of you... THANK YOU!

Usagi rubbed her eyes and yawned as she got up from
her sleeping position. She groggily walked into the bathroom
and brushed her teeth for the morning. Still drowsy with
sleep, Usagi stumbled on her way out of the bathroom.
Unnoticed to her, a nail had been sticking up from the
floor and she screamed in pain as it sliced through the
bottom of her foot.

"MOMMY!" Usagi sat down on the floor and sobbed as pain
raced throughout her foot. Blood poured from her injury and
as she cradled her foot and pressed down on it.

Everyone in the house woke from her screams. Mamoru
immediately felt her pain as he was jerked from his sleep.
Chichi was no different. She may not have had a link with
her, but she knew something was terribly wrong, and nobody
could tell her otherwise.

Chichi struggled to get free of her husband's arms,
but to no use. It figured, he *would* be the only one to
sleep through that much noise. She growled and put her
mouth right next to his ear.

"GOKU! WAKE UP!" Goku immediately released her as he
rubbed his throbbing ears. She took no time to see if he
was all right, but instead made her way to the source of
the cries of anguish.

When she arrived, she noticed that the young man was
already there, trying to sooth her by cradling her in his
lap as he examined her foot. She sat down on the floor and
Usagi crawled into the comfort of her mother's lap, despite
Mamoru's protesting that she not move. That was how the
three others in the household found them.

"She's going to need a few stitches."

"I DON'T WANT STITCHES! I HATE NEEDLES!" Usagi began
to sob harder and Chichi rocked her back and forth.

"Usako, I hate needles too, remember?" Usagi giggled
slightly through her sobs as Mamoru's face contorted in
horror.

"NEEDLES! WHERE!" Goku cringed and hid behind Gohan and
Goten as the thought of pointy, harmful needles entered his
mind. Goten laughed at the spectacle his father was making.

"Dad, there are none here." Goku whipped his brow in
relief and craned his head over Gohan's shoulder to see the
young girl more clearly.

"I'd give her a sensu bean, but we're out. Why don't we
just take her to Dende? He should be able to fix it?"

"Goku!" Chichi stood up with Usagi in her arms as her
two sons cowered away from their parents. "What a great
idea!" Everyone sighed in relief that Chichi wasn't going
to yell. Goku smiled the famous Son smile before teleporting
them all to Kami's Lookout.

They all arrived there in their night clothing, (except
for Usagi who was still in Goku's old GI), and didn't even
realize it until they were all there. None of them really
seemed to mind, except for Mamoru, who made sure *not* to
look at Chichi's nightgown. (*snickers*)

"DENDE!" Everyone covered their ears as Chichi hollered
for the guardian of Earth. Within seconds Dende came running
out followed by a panicked Mr. Popo and a calm Piccolo. Very
rarely was Piccolo not calm, so this didn't really surprise
anyone.

Dende nervously approached Chichi and cringed as she
glared at him. Who wouldn't cringe when Chichi started
yelling?

"Yes?"

"Heal her foot, I don't want to have to get her
stitches." O.O;

"Please set her down." She began to lower her to the
ground when Usagi held a death grip to her mother.

"Don't put me down Mommy!" Chichi glared and Usagi
swallowed hard. "Is this going to hurt?," she asked meekly.
The older woman shook her head and even looked to Goku for
confirmation.

"Nope! In fact, it feels really good! It makes you feel
all tingly and energized." Goku's smile enlarged as he
reassured the frightened girl.

Usagi was set on the cool tile ground without further
interruptions. Dende crouched down and placed his hands
inches over the abused foot. A pulsing blue light was formed
and sent warm tingling sensations throughout her body, just
like Goku said it would. A smile tugged at her lips as the
pain eased and then finally disappeared all together.

"Thank you Dende!" Usagi jumped up and hugged the green
Namekian. Unsure of what he should do, he wrapped his arms
around her and let her hug him. Usagi slid from Dende's arms
and ran strait to Mamoru, nearly knocking him over as she
pounced on him. She smothered his face with kisses as he let
out a small-embarrassed laugh.

"Can you please stop now?" Usagi paused to see that she
was being carried in her boyfriend's arms while everyone
watched in dead silence. She blushed to the roots of her
hair and mumbled apologies to him as she placed her feet
back on the ground.

"You're a distraction Mamo-chan, I won't be able to get
anything done with you following me everywhere I go."

"If I recall, usually it's the other way around." At
this last comment, Usagi realized her real mother was trying
not to grin to widely.

"How *did* you get here?" Usagi crossed her arms in
wake of the answer.

"The same way you did. In fact, Pluto thought it was a
good idea..." 'that I meet your real parents and break the
news to them. And I had just gotten used to Kenji's
overprotective habits too.' ^_^;

"...?"

"I know. So, are these them?"

"Mamoru-baka!" Usagi hit Mamoru upside the head and he
grimaced at both the pain in his head and the old nickname.
Usagi interlinked their arms as she dragged him to a more
private area where they could converse. Mamoru rubbed his
head absently as Usagi once more started the conversation.

"I haven't told them yet. Chichi knows, but I didn't even
have to tell her; she figured it out in her own. How did you
find out?"

"About what?"

"!!!!"

"Oh, yeah. Well, stupid question..."

~*~*Flashback~*~*

Mamoru walked up the sidewalk to the Tsukino residence
and rang the doorbell. Ikuko opened the door and smiled as
she saw her future son-in-law at the door.

"Hello."

"Is Usagi here?" Mamoru tensed as he saw a flicker of
sorrow in Ikuko's eyes.

"Come in." Mamoru stepped through the oak doorway and
into the tidy living room. Kenji was reading a newspaper at
the coffee table while Shingo was engrossed in a video game.
Slightly edgy, he took a seat across from the owner of the
shotgun.

"Kenji dear, I think it is time we told Mamoru and Shingo
where Usagi went." Kenji nodded and Mamoru's suspicion grew.
What was going on? Was everything all right? Where was Usagi?

"Shingo, over here, now." The stern voice of the boy's
father kept Shingo from whining. He had to pause his game in
order to obey his father's request, which didn't make him
too happy. He dragged his feet and sat down next to his idol,
the one who had come up with the nickname 'Odango Atama' for
his sister.

Ikuko rang her hands in a nervous gesture as she glanced
from the 'boys' back to her husband. She didn't know how she
could tell them. It had been difficult to tell Usagi, and that
should have been the hardest part. She had no idea why she
felt that it was so difficult to tell Shingo and Mamoru.

"Usagi is visiting her real parents." Mamoru hadn't seen
that one coming. He stared in shock as it set in. They weren't
her real parents? Why hadn't she told him? Who were her
parents? When did she plan on telling him?

Next to him, Shingo's reaction had been slightly
different. A large grin broke out as he began snicker
slightly. He paused to look at his parents.

"She always seem to be out of place in this family. What
is she? An alien?"

"Yes," was the reply of everyone else in the room.
Shingo abruptly stopped his laughter to look around the
room. Mamoru felt like laughing at the look of shock that
his face contained, but he held it in. He still wished he
had a camera, Usako would have loved to have seen his face.

"Mamoru, we knew that you knew she was Lunarian in her
past, but one of her current parents is also an alien. We
didn't want to tell her when she left because we knew that
she would figure it out on her own. I believe, if what
little I was told is correct, that her father is a powerful
Saiyan that has saved the earth several times."

"Just like Sailor Moon!?"

"Usagi is Sailor Moon." Shingo's eyes literally grew
before they fluttered close. He had fainted. To everyone's
surprise, he jumped up a few seconds later, this time
extremely hyper.

"WOW! She's Sailor Moon! Sailor Moon is the greatest!"
He paused briefly before adding, "Don't tell her I said that
though." Mamoru chuckled before turning serious again.

"How come I've never heard of him."

"They live in another dimension."

"COOL!"

"You can go see her if you like."

"I think I might just do that. She isn't expecting me.
It might be a good surprise. It's been a while."

"Being dead can make you have a lot of catch up work."
Mamoru's jaw dropped as Shingo looked questionably at him.

"How-"

"Did I know? You didn't think I only knew about her
did you?"

"What's my mom talking about?"

"You know about the other senshi? Me?"

"Yes, I know about your multiple identities."

"Mamoru, you have other identities?" Mamoru ran a hand
through his hair as he struggled to keep himself calm.

"Yes, I do."

"You can tell him, Mamoru. Shingo was going to be told
soon anyway."

"I was going to be told what soon?"

"I am... Well, I am Tuxedo Kamen and Prince Endymion
of Earth."

"COOL! My sister dates Tuxedo Kamen!" Mamoru groaned
as Shingo started to bounce around the room. Apparently the
information was giving him a rush of hyperactive energy.
Ikuko chuckled at the scene.

"I think you should go now. If you want to see her, you
have go to Sailor Pluto." Mamoru nodded in confirmation as
he left for Sailor Pluto's post.

~*EndFlashback~*

"So, how did you find out?"

"Your... adoptive parents told me. You should have seen
Shingo's expressions, they were priceless."

"I thought you were in America."

"I was. I have off for a while and I thought I'd come
and see you."

"Mamo-chan." Usagi wrapped her arms around Mamoru's
narrow waist as she gave him a hug. She buried her nose into
his warm chest and just enjoyed it. He was shirtless, just
like all of the guys that had been previously sleeping.
A blush stained her cheeks as she realized how her mother
would take it. She couldn't deny it, but she had a feeling
that she should have kept this now obvious relationship, a
secret a little longer.

Mamoru inhaled slowly, trying to cool his heated blood.
Usagi had no idea what she was doing to him. He strained to
keep his hands *only* on her waist as she rubbed her cool
nose along his muscles. This was torture, pure and simple.
One of this days he was going to lose control, but he wanted
to wait for the right moment.

"Usako, I think you should tell them. They have to be
deaf not to have heard what you were yelling." Usagi stepped
back from the embrace and nodded her head.

"You're right. I should tell them. How do I tell them
though?" Mamoru capture Usagi's seemingly delicate hands in
his larger ones. She could feel her confidence build from
that simple action. She looked into his dark blue eyes and
felt her heart swell with pride and love at all of the
emotions that shone through.

"Just tell them the truth."
