Prologue : Marry Christmas Usa
By: PinkSugaSweetie


It was dark outside when Mamoru awoke on the morning of christmas eve. Usagi was still sleeping soundly beside him as Mamoru silently slipped out from underneath the covers. She turned in her sleep before settling cozily into the warm sheets Mamoru had left behind. He was afraid to breathe as he crept to his closet to find his pants, a black shirt and his traditional green jacket. Upon getting dressed, he glanced over at his alarm clock. The red numbers glowed dimly in the dusky room. 8:03. Perfect. The Juuban Central Mall would be open now and Mamoru could go shopping. He had a good three hours before his sleeping bunny would be up. This was his last chance to find Usagi's special gift. Mamoru hoped that he could quickly whip into the mall without it being too busy. After all, it was still early.

For month's Mamoru had been scouring malls all over Tokyo for the right christmas present, but nothing was good enough for his girlfriend. Actually, Mamoru had no idea what to get her. He wanted this to be her most special christmas, an event to remember for years to come, and he wanted to share every minute with her. In twenty-four hours Usagi was supposed receive the biggest surprise of her life. It was to be one of her happiest days, but it would be one of Mamoru's worst if he couldn't find her a gift. Tomorrow morning, Mamoru thought, she will be Mrs. Chiba Mamoru. Not if you can't find her a ring, Chiba.' he thought to himself.

Mamoru glanced out on the balcony, noticing that the first snowfall had come, leaving a thick blanket everywhere. He knew that Usagi would be very excited. He added a toboggan to his list. She would certainly want to go out and play in the fresh snow. Mamoru eyed his red ski jacket, replacing his blazer with something a little warmer. Mamoru quickly left his apartment, trying not to let his keys jangle as he locked the door again.

Mamoru rushed to the elevator, repeatedly pressing the button until it landed at the sixth floor. The doors opened and he practically plowed over Mrs. Foster, an elderly woman from the seventh floor, as he frantically leapt into the elevator and pushed the already glowing light.
Gomen Nasai, Mrs. Foster Mamoru apologized. Mamoru pulled up his sleeve to look at his watch before casting his gaze to the glowing numbers above.
That's quite all right, young man. Where are you off to in such a hurry? Going to do some last minute christmas shopping? The old woman asked quizzically. She'd never seen Mamoru so restless. He was usually very calm and collected.
Hai. For Usagi. Mamoru replied.
Everyone in the building knew the petite blonde who was Chiba Mamoru's girlfriend. What are you going to get her? She's a special one now.
Hai! Very special. I don't really know what I'm going to get for her. I need to find her a ring, but I want to get some other gifts as well. I'm going to ask her to marry me tomorrow. Mamoru rattled to the elderly woman as the doors opened. Really must be going. My sincerest apologies again, Mrs. Foster! He said as he dashed towards the heavy glass doors, exiting the apartment complex and disappearing around the corner.
Mrs. Foster cautiously stepped out of the elevator. Nice boy, she stated as she watched him, Hope things work out for him and Usagi. They are the sweetest couple. Good luck Mamoru-san.
