Author's Notes: I'm back again. Thank you for all the support you guys gave me for my last chapter. Thanks for reviewing! I never thought I'd get so many reviews. Here's the second chapter. Someone asked me why Ami and Mamoru are so gullible in the first chapter. My answer: First, Usagi looks somewhat different than she did when she was fourteen (no more meatballs...for now!) Second, well, you'll just have to wait. I'll tell you in a later chapter! For the person who asked if she could put my fic on her website: DEFINITELY!!!!!! You can always do that, without asking me, just as long as you mention it in your review or e-mail, so I can be sure to visit your site! Sorry, I'm having a hard time remembering about a 150 names for school, so my memory is kinda messed right now, so sorry I can't remember your name...

The Threads of Fate, Chapter 2
'I wonder if this Usagi's my Usa-ko,' Mamoru thought as Usagi drove him, Ami, and Rei home. His hopes were dashed, though, by what happened next.
A piercing scream broke the silence. A woman ran straight in the path of Usagi's car, and she had to slam on the breaks to stop it. "I wonder what's wrong," she said in surprise.
More and more people started running towards the direction of the car. In the back seat, Ami and Rei were getting really worried. "Ami, this HAS to be some kind of attack. What else could drive the people crazy like this? Besides, I sense something bad here." Rei whispered to her friend.
"I know," Ami replied. "But how are we going to get out of the car and transform without arousing any suspicion?"
"We'll just have to transform in here. Mamoru already knows who we are, and Usagi is a cousin of Usagi, so we can probably explain it to her when we get home."
"I guess that's the only way to do this."
Taking a deep breath, Rei said, " Usagi, we're going to do something that is unbelievable, we ask you not to say anything until we get to your house. All will be explained there."
Pretending to be surprised, Usagi said, "I don't understand." Deep inside, though, she was really worrying, she was there, with the Senshi, and she wouldn't be able to battle.
"Don't worry, Usagi, you WILL understand...MARS CRYSTAL POWER...MAKE UP!"
(A.N. Let's just say that the Senshi became Super Sailor Senshi without the help of Pegasus, okay? Don't worry, there'll be some romance soon, I just have to set up the plot for it.)
"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER...MAKE UP!"
Light surrounded the Senshi of Fire and the Senshi of Ice, transformed into Super Sailor Senshi, the female warriors got out of the car. Usagi began to get out of to follow her two friends, who undoubtedly would have some trouble fighting the youma, but Mamoru pulled her back. "Usagi, what do you think you're doing?"
"I'm going to go out there and see if they need help. What else could I be doing?" she replied.
"Oh no. Fighting a monster is too dangerous, you're staying here with me."
"BUT-"
Mamoru didn't bother to answer, he pulled her back in the car and shut the door. He drove away to a safe place and kept Usagi there until....
"MARS FLAME SNIPER!"
"MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY!"
In doing this, the Senshi of Fire and the Senshi of Ice, froze the monster...for a little while. Mercury and Mars then used the Sailor Planet Power to destroy it. Then they turned to face Usagi and Mamoru.
Usagi had fainted because of some strange reason, and now Mamoru was holding her with the greatest care. Even though she hadn't transformed or anything, there was still a bit of hope in his heart that she was his Usa-ko.
*****
Usagi opened her eyes to find herself in her own room, with three faces looking down at her. "What happened?" she asked drowsily, although she already knew what had occurred.
"Nothing much," Ami said, trying to steer the subject away so she and Rei possibly wouldn't have to explain about being Sailor Senshi to her.
"Oh, I remember now, we were attacked by a couple of muggers, weren't we? I got hit on the head, didn't I?" (A.N - heh heh, SORRY!! I can get REALLY corny...) Usagi said, knowing that her friends were uncomfortable talking about the subject.
"Uh...YEAH!" Rei said, a little bit too enthusiastically.
"Chiba is usually safe, I don't know what happened today, though. Listen, do you guys want to go out to eat? I...uh...sort of forgot to make dinner and I'm really not in the mood to cook today."
"Sure."
"Why not?" Mamoru said.
"Are you sure, Usagi? I really don't want to be much of a bother..." Rei started.
"You're no bother at all, Rei-ch-" Usagi said, almost slipping and calling her best friend by the name she used to call Rei. (A.N- Aren't I confuzzling?) "Let's go! I haven't eaten out in so long."
*****
As they got to the restaurant, which was called 'Otana Sushi' (heh heh, ain't I creative? I don't even know what Otana means...hope it's not something bad...), and placed their orders, a voice said, "IF I MAY HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE. TODAY, WE HAVE A SPECIAL SURPRISE FOR YOU. THE RENOWNED KAI'OU MICHIRU AND TEN'OU HARUKA ARE HERE WITH US TODAY, AND THEY WILL PLAY A COUPLE OF THEIR MOST FAMOUS SONGS FOR YOU! THE FIRST ONE IS A PIECE CALLED.....THE ROSE!!!"
(A.N - ummm...The Rose is a beautiful, wonderful, fantastic, you get the idea, song by someone named Amanda McBroom, there's another person I hope doesn't sue me)
"Thank you everybody," Kai'ou Michiru said to the crowd. "We are really glad to be here and we hope you enjoy our song. We will provide the melody and the accompaniment, the words that you'll hear is from a pre-recorded tape we made earlier."
The music started, and Usagi felt her heart skip a bit. It sounded so soulful, and so fitting...
"Some say love...it is a river...that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love...it is a razor...that leaves the soul to bleed.
Some say love...it is a hunger...an endless aching need.
I say love...it is a flower...and you its only seed."
"It's the heart...afraid of breaking...that never learns to dance.
It's the dream...afraid of waking...that never takes a chance.
It's the one...who won't be taken...who can not seem to give.
And the soul...afraid of dying...that never learns to live."
"When the night...has been too lonely...and the road has been too long.
And you think...that love is only...for the lucky and the strong.
Just remember in the winter...far beneath the bitter snows...
lies a seed...that with the sun's love...in the spring...becomes the rose."
As the song ended, Mamoru looked at Usagi, thinking about what happened between him and her cousin years ago. He was surprised, shocked, wide-eyed (you get the idea), to find tears pouring down Usagi's cheek.
Chapter 2 all done! If you keep reviewing, I will continue. I won't post the next chapter until probably next week...I HATE ALGEBRA!!!!!! ESPECIALLY MS. BOTTOMS (yes, that's her name). 'The Rose' is a seriously beautiful song, so if you ever have a chance, you HAVE to listen to it.
