Usagi stared in amazement as she got out of the car at the huge brick house before her. Rose bushes lined the side of the house to what looked like a garden from where she was standing. In the middle of the curved driveway, there was a beautiful fountain with child angels dancing among the center. Before Usagi got to observe anymore of the outer residence, Chibi-Usa grabbed her left hand.
"Come on Usagi," she shrieked excitedly pulling her towards the front door, "Come and see my room!"
Usagi glanced at Mamoru to see if it was all right if she went ahead. Mamoru just smiled and said, "Go on. I'll see that your belongings get inside."
"Thank you, Mr. Chiba." Usagi said and noticed how handsome he looked when he smiled.
"Please, call me Mamoru."
"Okay," she replied smiling a bit.
Snap out of it girl! her mind cried. She pushed the thoughts aside as Chibi-Usa eagerly dragged her inside.
Mamoru was left standing alone with the exception of the movers who started to carry the boxes inside. They had packed up Usagi's apartment and hauled everything into a moving van in less than 7 hours. In the time between, Chibi-Usa grew very fond of Usagi, which was not very surprising to Mamoru. He saw how kind and gentle she was with Chibi-Usa and how courteous she was towards him.
~*Flashback*~
~A Few Hours Ago...~
Chibi-Usa giggled at her new friend, who was also laughing, at the mess they made trying to pack up her room. Clothes, shoes, papers, pictures, and somehow a dishrag were scattered about her small room. On the bed was even more clothes and chaos on top of that.
Unaware to them, Mamoru was standing in the doorway watching them from behind. A smile played on his lips at the petite blond who's hair was in a loose ponytail picking up a picture frame, along with the pink headed girl who was still wearing Usagi's shirt.
Suddenly the blond stopped laughing when she glanced at the picture in her hand. Chibi-Usa scooted closer and peered over Usagi's shoulder.
"Who that?" Chibi-Usa asked pointing at the smiling woman with wavy blue hair standing next to a man with his arm around her. Standing in front of the couple were two teenagers, a blond headed girl about 14 and a brown headed boy near 11.
Usagi lightly traced a finger over the smooth glass and softly said, "My mother."
"She is pretty," Chibi complimented. She then one by one she pointed to the 3 other people in the photograph.
"Is he your Daddy?" she asked. Usagi nodded. "Is he as nice as my daddy is?" she continued.
Nodding again, she said yes. A deep sadness settled into her facial expression as Usagi tilted her head to the side as if she were a little girl again. Before Chibi-Usa could ask any more questions, Mamoru stepped into the room clearing his throat.
"The movers are here," He said and then turned to his daughter. "Chibi-Usa, why don't you go and see if you clothes are dry yet? If they are then change into them, alright?" said Mamoru.
"Okay."
Chibi-Usa got up and ran towards the kitchen.
Usagi quickly got up and gave Mamoru a short nod to his previous question. She smiled lightly as she picked up a box.
"Here, let me help you with these," Mamoru offered.
"Thank you."
They silently headed towards the ground floor where the moving van awaited them.
~Two Hours Later...~
Everything was packed and ready to go. All that there was left to do was drop off the key. Usagi took one last look around the apartment before shutting the door and locking it.
Mamoru and Chibi-Usa were waiting in the lobby for her when she came down.
"Ready?" Mamoru asked.
"Guess so," replied Usagi as she handed the key to the man at the front desk.
From the corner of her eye she though she saw red hair. Suddenly, the woman owning the red hair came into view grabbing the keys from the man at the desk.
"I'll take these thank you," Desiree scoffed glancing at Usagi ever so sweetly. She just rolled her eyes started towards the exit.
"What, no good-bye?"
Usagi acted as though she didn't hear Desiree as she walked out of the door along with Mamoru and Chibi-Usa.
Once they were settled into Mamoru's black Porsh, Usagi had calmed down some. She let out a long sigh causing Mamoru to look over at her. He took a few seconds to gaze at what seemed like, her perfect profile. With her blond hair spilling over her shoulders and her crystal blue eyes, she was the most beautiful person he's ever met, inside and out. But at the moment, Usagi was feeling like the lowest person on earth. A melancholy expression appeared on her face.
Mamoru gently placed a hand on Usagi's arm.
"I'm sorry about your situation."
Usagi looked up from the window into his dark blue eyes.
"And I want you to know that you are welcomed to stay as long as you need to. We would love to have you." Mamoru smiled sincerely taking his hand off her arm.
"Thank you," Usagi said with a soft smile. Her eyes shifted to the area where his hand was and wished it were still there.
Usagi turned her head towards the window to watch the objects that passed by with the same expression on her face as before. Mamoru knew that deep inside, a great sadness exist inside of her.
~*End Flashback*~
"Excuse me sir, where do you want this?"
"Wha...?" Mamoru blinked and turned to the man standing beside him as he repeated the question.
"Oh," said Mamoru coming back to life. "Upstairs, 2nd bedroom on the left."
He looked at the boxes at his feet and picked one up labeled 'fragile' and took it inside.

"...And this is Mr. Bubbles, Mrs. Teapots, and Magi," Chibi-Usa said pointing at each stuffed animals to Usagi who was seated on the bed.
They were up in Chibi-Usa room, which was decorated with red & white tiny hearts against the pastel pink wall. The whole room matched from the canopy bed to the curtains. The beautiful colors of the setting sun shone through the window giving the room a light glow.
"Who is this?" asked Usagi picking up another stuffed animal lying on Chibi-Usa's bed.
"This is my Diana," she replied referring to the small gray cat with a crescent moon on its forehead and a pink bow tied around it's neck.
"Daddy gave her to me for my last birthday," Chibi-Usa said proudly.
"How cute," Usagi remarked placing the stuffed cat back on the bed. She looked around the bedroom once more noticing how clean and neat it was for a 3-year-old. Heck, she was 22 and her room certainly wasn't that clean.
Usagi saw the movers through the doorway bringing the last of her stuff into the room across the hall.
"I had better go and unpack," Usagi said getting up.
"Want some help?" Chibi-Usa offered excitedly.
"Sure, why not," said Usagi smiling.
Chibi-Usa followed her across the hall into the plain white room with a bed frame placed in the middle with a few boxes lined up against the wall.
The first thing she noticed was the huge walk-in closet next to the bathroom. It looked bigger than her whole bedroom at her old place. Heck the whole room looked bigger then her old apartment! Usagi could probably fit all her stuff in there and then some.
"Here's the last of it," Mamoru announced entering the room with the 'fragile' box.
"You like it?" he asked unsure of the expression on her face.
"Are you kidding? This place is huge," Usagi said sounding like a little girl again.
Mamoru chuckled setting the box down next to the rest of the stuff.
"So is that a yes?" he said grinning.
More like a hell yeah Usagi thought to herself but said, "Yes, it is. It will be better if I added some color to it. As long as you're okay with it."
"It's fine by me," Mamoru said turning to leave.
"Wait," Usagi called out and walked up to him.
"I want to thank you, again," she said lowering her voice looking up at him.
"Of course," Mamoru said softly only a few inches away from her.
She smells like cherry-blossoms...
He smells like roses...
Their thoughts criss-crossed unknown to the other.
A small giggle interrupted their trace.
Both heads turned and looked at Chibi-Usa who placed a hand over her mouth still giggling.
Suddenly, a small blush rose in Usagi's cheeks when she realized how close they were. Mamoru too, has noticed taking a small step back scratching the back of his neck.
"I'll leave you to get settled," he said clearing his throat unsteadily.
"Yeah..." Usagi said slowly, nodding a bit looking around trying to recover from the previous encounter.
"Yeah..."Mamoru repeated and then straightened up. "Come along Chibi- Usa. I believe it's time for you to go to bed."
"Aww, do I have to?" Chibi-Usa asked knowing the answer.
Mamoru nodded putting his hand out to her as she took it.
"Goodnight Miss Usagi," bided Chibi-Usa.
"Night."
As Mamoru was shutting the door he said, "Sleep well."
"You too."
He lingered here a few moments more before finally shut the door.
Usagi smiled to herself and stood there a few seconds longer recalling his handsome smile and ebony hair. Then she pinched herself. Usagi let out a small yelp wincing a bit. She didn't realize she could pinch that hard.
"My God girl get a hold of your self," Usagi spoke out loud to white walls.
"I'm acting like a stupid girl back in high school that has stupid crush! Argh!" she shouted hitting herself in the head. Usagi walked to the bathroom with her hand still on her forehead with her eyes squinted and shut the door. She reopened and came out in the same disposition feeling a bit silly walking to a suitcase. Usagi opened it and removed the first thing she saw sleep-able in and strided back to the bathroom. A huge groan was heard from behind the door. Maybe because this time she forgot her toothbrush. ~.~"

The Next Morning
The early sun shone through the curtain-less window, straight onto the petite face of a young woman who slept peacefully in her bed. Usagi slowly opens her eyes, the sunlight blinding her a bit. When her eyes came to, she looked around the unfamiliar room. Her eyes landed on the boxes stacked against the wall and remembered where she was.
Usagi sat up stretching her rested limbs out. She decided to take a shower before going down stairs to check things out.
@~~~~~~~333
The coffeepot always had fresh coffee. For the master of the house had become addicted to it from the late night's work. Therefore, whenever you entered the kitchen, you had a feeling of being in a café.
Mamoru was seated at the head of the table, reading the newspaper and occasionally taking a sip of his black coffee whenever he flipped a page. To his right, sat Chibi-Usa who was eating a bowl of Cheerios, humming another one of her little songs adding a word or two in between spoonfuls. (AN: Don't EVER give a 3 yr. old cereal that is nothing but sugar early in the morning. -_-' Heed this advice I give you. I speak from experience. . )
"Good morning Miss Usagi!" exclaimed Chibi-Usa as she walked into the kitchen.
"Morning," Usagi replied. Her hair was up in a high ponytail with soft curls trailing on either side. She was dressed in jeans and a causal light blue shirt matching her eyes.
Mamoru lowered his paper down as Usagi was taking the seat to his left, across from Chibi-Usa. He gawked was a moment before saying 'good morning'.
"Sleep well last night?" he asked.
"Yes, very well," Usagi responded nodding.
"There's some coffee on the counter if you'd like some," Mamoru reported.
Usagi got up and made herself a cup, then sat back down again.
"May I see the classifieds page when you're done?" she asked.
"Sure it's right here," Mamoru said handing her a section of the newspaper.
"Thank you."
Usagi opened it up as Mamoru inquired, "What kind of job are you looking for? Maybe I could help."
"Well," Usagi started, "not anything in particular. Just something that's not too complicated. It doesn't have to be permanent. Just for the time being so I could find enough cash to rent out an apartment. Then I could look for something else."
"Hmm..." Mamoru thought for a moment when something came to him.
"Have you ever thought of taking care of kids?" he questioned.
"Actually, " said Usagi skimming the page in front of her, "I saw this ad in the paper yesterday for a nanny. I was hoping to try to find it again and maybe try for it."
Mamoru smirked a bit and started to say something but she interrupted him.
"Ah ha!" Usagi cried. "Here it is!" she said beginning to read it out loud.
"Wanted, a full time nanny for 3 year old. Full sized bed-"
"Room and bath with no rent. Call 560-6789 for info," Mamoru finished for her.
"Exactly! Now all I need to do is..." she paused as it suddenly sank in. Usagi turned her head to look at him with her mouth half-opened in astonishment.
"You're...you-uh...," the words were stuck.
"Hello, I'm Chiba Mamoru," he amused holding his hand out.
"I hear you're applying for the job as nanny for my daughter, Chibi-Usa," he amused some more motioning with the other hand to Chibi-Usa.
"Congratulations Miss Tsukino," he said shaking her hand now. "I looked into your references yesterday and they look great. You've got the job."
Mamoru grinned at the shock look on Usagi's face.
"I-I-um..."
Usagi cleared her throat and tried again smiling.
"Thank you Mr. Chiba. I appreciate this very much, sir. I will not let you down, sir," Usagi said shaking his hand with might.
They both started to laugh at their formal conversation as Chibi-Usa, who didn't quite understand the conversation asked, "What's so funny?"
"Nothing sweetie, "Mamoru said calming down. "Except, Miss Usagi here is now your nanny."
"Really?" asked Chibi-Usa her eyes brightening.
"Yep, that's right," answered Usagi getting up from around the table. "I'm going to be your nanny!"
Chibi-Usa shrieked throwing her arms around Usagi. Then, Usagi hugged Mamoru, surprising him.
"Thank you so much. You have been so wonderful to me. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Mamoru awkwardly returned the hug at first but then warmed up.
"No, thank you. You have saved me time and effort by not making me go out and look for someone. So, Thank YOU."
Usagi smiled letting go of him.
"So, when we I start, Boss?" she said using the word.
"Tomorrow," Mamoru replied. "7 am sharp," he said playfully.
"Tomorrow it is!"
Chibi-Usa giggled as a thought stuck her small, but intelligent mind as she watched her father and her new nanny laughing together.
