A single, white gloved hand shakily landed on the wooden knob, and slowly pulled. The droor opened silently, revealing pink and white lace, cotton, and silk. The shaky hand slowly reached in, and carefully pulled out a white, lacy......BRA? What the $%&*? Tuxedo mask silently gushed as he held the garment next to his nose, inhaling the scent.

"Panties....must get panties...." He thought, throwing away the bra, and searching through the droor, Smiling as he found his prize: A pair of pink, lacy panties. "AHHhhhhh....." He exclaimed, as he rubbed the panties greedily in his face.

"Waaaah!" A frantic feminine voice behind him screamed. Tuxedo mask whipped around, panties and bra still in his hands, to face a very embarrassed, very mad Usagi.

"Tuxeeedoooo Maaask! What are you doooooing?" She whined, eyeing the panties, and then Tuxedo Mask.

"Um...I sensed some, ah, evil vibes, um, coming off of these, so, I, ah, decided that I should....come here, and retrieve them! Yeah, that's it....." Tuxedo Mask muttered, rubbing his hands together like a perverted old man. Usagi was thick, but she wasn't THAAAT stupid.

"So let me get this straight. The Negaverse possessed my panties with evil energy, so when I put them on, I would be killed? That doesn't sound like something they would do." Usagi thought out loud, slowly mulling over the information.

"Yesssss! That's right! Now, I've got to go! BYE!" Tuxedo Mask blurted out, jumping out of Usagi's window, and onto the branch of a nearby tree.

"Goddamn pervert...can't believe I marry that bastard in the future..." Usagi muttered, closing her underwear droor, and then the window.

Back at the Tux Cave, Mr. Mask himself was admiring his work. Above the fire-place, 5 pairs of panties were neatly framed, and hung. A pink pair, a red pair, an orange pair, a blue pair, and a green pair. He grinned evilly, once again rubbing his hands together.

"At last, you are mine!" He said, laughing maniacally, an odd gleam in his eyes. "Now, I only need the panties of Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, and...well....maybe not Uranus. She's awful manly. And what about those SailorStarLights? That whole he-she thing is kind of scary. Um, boxers, or bikini cuts? Man or Woman? Beer or wine? Gimme a break! It's all soooo confusing!!!!" A large tear welled up in Tuxedo Mask's bulging eye, and fell down his face. "DAMN PANTIES!" He cried, clutching his head. "When I vowed to collect the most elusive panties on the planet, I never dreamed it would be so goddamn confusing!" Sobbing, he crawled to his favorite chair, and curled up into a little ball.

"Maybe I should start collecting something else...like those pokemon thingies! Naw...too hard....How about baseball cards!!!! No....too boring....YESS! I know! BARBIES!" With that last word, tuxedo mask wiped off his tears, and ran to the toy store, where he bought 3 new barbies, and a ken doll for good measure. He ran out of the store, jumped into the tuxmobile, and raced back to the tux cave.

Upon arriving, he greedily unwrapped his new Dollies.

"Wow...they have little white panties!" He marveled at his new toys, undressing, and redressing the Barbies. With all the tenderness and love he could muster, he put little barrettes in their hair, drank tea with them, and watched the Barbie work out video.
