Chapter 7: Breakfast the Next Day
Sunlight creeped into her room, despite the curtains pulled close to block out the morning. Sounds of
dissent from below slowly reached her ears, waking her from the dream she had been in. A dream where
Seiya had held her tight, whenever she wanted, and for as long as she wanted.
She knew her dream was simple, but liked it anyway.
"HOW THE HELL COULD YOU LET THAT HAPPEN?!?"
Her eyes snapped open with the unusually loud shout, sleep clearing instantly from her brain. Haruka was
downstairs; which meant that the rest of her senshi were probably here as well.
She slipped out of bed and tossed a long gray robe on, exiting her room and moving downstairs as quickly
as she could, hoping to stem anymore shouting.
She was grateful when everyone in the room fell silent when they saw her, each of her dear friends
carefully scanning her features for any signs of pain, injury, or emotional upset. She smiled as reassuringly
at them as she could. "Come now, minna… I know already what you're shouting about, and everything is
fine. Rei, I instructed Mamoru-san to go to you an sign an agreement for sperm donation, and visitation
rights. You have the basic outline already. Ami, he'll go to you for the procedure. Haruka, Makoto, you
can't kill him or hurt him, he was well behaved and didn't hurt me. And he cannot hurt me."
She brought the ginzouishou out and smiled brightly at them. "See? The light of the ginzouishou shines
more brightly than ever, as do I. Everything will be fine."
An awkward silence followed her announcement, as each person absorbed her words in their own way. As
she waited for someone to speak she put the crystal away and walked into the kitchen. "Anyone else who
hasn't had breakfast yet? You may join me as you will."
Makoto hurried into the kitchen after her and quickly gathered Usagi's favorite breakfast ingredients, "Here
Usagi-chan, let me. You should go back upstairs and shower."
Usagi nodded her agreement and smiled slightly, pleased. "Thank you Mako- chan."
Then she did as told and went back up to shower.
Everyone stayed quiet as she exited the room, staring at her in stunned silence. To forgive Mamoru so soon,
and allow him to visit, much less agree in anyway to have a child with him…
Unbelievable.
Seiya was the first to speak, used to Usagi's new attitude on Mamoru from her fears the day before. "Come
one now everyone, stop looking so shocked. She obviously loves her future daughter, and is taking nice,
adult precautions to make sure Mamoru doesn't do anything she doesn't want him to. What more do you
want?"
Everyone stared at her in shock, wondering silently how she could be so calm about Usagi's behavior.
Except Setsuna, who, as always, seemed to know that this would happen. She nodded and spoke up, "Seiya
is quite right you know. Usagi is fully out of her depression, and has become a mature adult. This is her
decision to make, and hers alone. We can only support and protect her."
Grudgingly they each agreed.
Rei shook her head, still unbelieving. "Well, I guess I better get on with the paperwork then… and make
sure things are as adventitious to Usagi as possible. Anyone want to come with me?"
Taiki and Ami raised their hands, as did Haruka and Michiru. Rei nodded, and they all proceeded to her
Shrine. The rest found places to sit and wait for Usagi, except for Makoto, who continued on unfazed with
Usagi's breakfast.
"Oh… by the way… Usagi told Mamoru-baka that though she goes by Usagi, she is really Serenity in
mind, body, and soul," Seiya said, understanding what she meant even though to Seiya, Usagi and Serenity
were on personae.
"She said what?" asked Luna, not sure she had understood correctly.
Seiya smiled calmly and repeated. "She told him that she is Serenity in mind, body and soul, even though
she calls herself Usagi. Personally… Serenity just seems the more mature version of Usagi."
Luna stared at her before shaking her head in disbelief. "And this transformation occurred, unseen before
my very eyes… what an awful advisor I am."
Yaten picked the moon kitty up and petted her gently, "Now Luna, stop thinking like that. Perhaps Seiya is
right, and 'Usagi' was how Princess Serenity was, or would have been, before she started taking on her
royal duties. Everyone has a playful, carefree side, even monarchs."
Seiya grinned and baited at Yaten, "Even you Yaten?"
Her question was rewarded with a blush and sideways glance at Minako, but she gave no verbal response.
Even those friendly barbs faded away into silence again, as the remaining senshi pondered their Princess'
declaration to Mamoru, and what it meant to their future.
