Rating: R
Setting: After Galaxia. Everyone, except for the Outers, and Mamoru, are in college.
Summary: Usagi comes to terms that her love with Mamoru has died. Never knowing what she really wants she wishes on a shooting star. Now everything in life is coming together and Usagi finds a new person inside herself. Way Yuri!!!
Disclaimer: Naoko Takeuchi owns everything. Except for the plot. I came up with that. {My plot bunnies are on vacation =) }
A/N: Ok, for you Mamoru lovers out there. This is not a U/M fic. But there is also no Mamoru bashing...I think...so you should still read it. Ok, I'm gonna turn on my Five Iron Frenzy CD, watch some stand up on Comedy Central and get CRACKING!

When Usagi got home she popped her head in the doorway and called out. "Mom! I can't stay for dinner tonight. I have to get back to my apartment."
"But honey, I made your favorite!"
"I'm not that hungry anyway"
Usagi heard the sound of glass breaking and grinned. "I had a shake already. I'll be fine. Aishiteru!"
Usagi closed the door and ran to her apartment. She didn't know why she was always running to places tonight but it felt good to just stretch her legs and fly across the pavement. On her way she saw Hizuma walking with a jacket over her pin-strip uniform and she waved.
She grabbed her mail out of her box in the lobby and took the stairs two at a time. In her excitement she forgot that she shared the same apartment building with Mamoru, and consequently bumped into him at the top of the stairs.
"Usako, er Usagi!" he stumbled over his words as he looked down at her.
"Hello Mamoru" she said with a grin.
"I want you back, Usa.....wait a minute!" He stopped his plea in mid- sentence and looked down at her face. "That's not your shade of lipstick..." She bit her lip and smiled nervously.
"See ya later, Mamoru." She waved goodbye over her shoulder and headed down the hall to her room, which was across from Mamoru's. Mamoru was left standing in the corridor thoroughly confused.

Usagi threw her purse on the couch and peeled off her clothes. In her large bedroom she opened her bureau and grabbed some pajamas. She pulled them on and walked back out to the kitchen as the phone rang. She grabbed a water bottle from the fridge and picked up her cordless.
"Moshi Moshi?" She asked into the phone. Her eyes lit up as the person on the other line spoke, "Hey Rei..." Her eyebrows shot up and she smirked repeating the question: "What am I wearing?"
%^%^%^%^%^%
Usagi pulled on her clothes and brushed out her hair. She was wearing light blue summer dress over a white, baby-T. She wore matching sky blue ankle-breaker heels on her feet that added three inches to her height. Her long golden hair was left down with the sides pulled back into a silver barrette. She grabbed her school briefcase and headed for the door. She paused for a moment as if remembering something and then hurried back to her bedroom.
When she re-emerged she was wearing a gold locket around her neck. A crescent moon was outlined on the front of the heart-shaped metal by small, glittering diamonds. It had been a gift from the Starlights before they had left Earth. Inside was a picture of her surrounded by the three men taken at the huge picnic they'd organized as a sort of going away present. Her fingers grazed the locket and she sighed in longing. *I wish they were here. I wanted to tell them...*
With another sigh she left her apartment and headed towards Tokyo Graduate.
%^%^%^%^%^%
She reached the college with plenty of time to spare before her nine o'clock class. She walked up the long steps to the main door with a bounce in her movements, and opened the door. By the way everyone started whispering when she entered the building she guessed that the story of her newfound lesbianism had been passed around.
She added a sway of her hips to her walking and proceeded proudly ahead. As she walked past the Spanish room she heard a girl whisper "Dike." to her friend. Usagi decided to humor the crowd and turned around to blow the girl a kiss. "Last night was great..." She called out to the girl and turned back around and headed towards her Psych. Class. She heard the vain efforts of the girl as she insisted she wasn't a dike to the crowd looking in her direction.
Sure the lie had been a rather mean and teasing thing to do, but Usagi couldn't stand the categorizing of people by harsh and rude names. She turned down the left corridor oblivious to the looks some girls were giving her. Entering her Psych. Room she took her usual seat in the front and settled in for the day's lecture.
Her next class, Mythology, she had with Rei and Minako. Minako grinned when she entered and Rei waved her over to their table in the back. Usagi nodded and winked at Rei causing the girl to blush. Minako rolled her eyes and turned in her chair to face the other blonde as she sat down. "You're enjoying yourself aren't you?" She asked sarcastically. Usagi nodded enthusiastically, "Oooooh yeah..."
As the rest of the school day passed by, the Inners finally agreed with the Outers. Usagi seemed so much brighter now that she and Mamoru were no longer together. She was always smiling and flirting with Rei and the girls of the school, and was completely at ease.
To Usagi it felt that when she had dumped Mamoru that a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders. No longer weighted down and light as a feather she was able to find love and happiness in where, before, she had been forbidden to look.
She waved goodbye to her friends telling them she had some appointments and promised to meet up with them later. The five went their separate ways and Usagi headed away from her apartment and towards the shops of Tokyo.
As she sat down in a chair in the Hair Salon she closed her eyes and grinned. Soon she would be the new person she felt inside. They washed her hair and the golden dye she had been using swirled down the drain. Her natural hair was a striking silver; the color of moonlight. She hadn't told anyone of her approach to Neo-Queen Serenity, but now was as good a time as any.
Half an hour later, Usagi walked out of the Salon and out into the bright sunlight. Her long silver hair was cut to just below her shoulders and permed into tight corkscrew curls that bounced along her shoulders when she walked. The moonlight hair contrasted sharply with her clear blue eyes giving her the look of a Goddess. Sliding on her sunglasses she headed towards the mall blowing huge pink bubbles of gum.
%^%^%^%^%^%
Holding about five bags in each arm Usagi walked back out of the mall with her purse considerably lighter. She had changed into an outfit she had just purchased and her blue dress lay forgotten at the bottom of a bag. She was now wearing a very short white skirt with high slits along both sides. Her shirt was in the design of a corset, which clung, tightly to her body. The white material matched her skirt and laced up in the front. It was cut low across her breasts and edged with translucent lace. Large hoop earring dangled from her ears, and thousands of silver bracelets clinked along her wrists. She still wore the locket around her neck and the sunlight bounced off it making rainbows on the street. She walked easily and excitedly down the street in her white high heels swinging her shopping bags back and forth.
She took the elevator this time up to her top floor, apartment suite and lugged the bags down the hall. When she got there she noticed Mamoru's door was open, she took no notice of it, nor the obvious female voices coming from it. Setting down her bags she fished around her purse looking for her keys.
She let out a triumphant "Ah ha!" when her newly manicured fingers closed around cold metal. The voices in the other room stopped but Usagi didn't notice as she pulled her keys out and stuck them in the door. The lock clicked and she pushed the door open. Leaving it open she dragged her bags inside and dropped them in the living room.
"Usagi?" Mamoru's voice called out.
She groaned and grabbed her water bottle. She walked over to her still open door and pushed her sunglasses onto the top of her head. Leaning against the doorframe she took a swig of water and looked across the hall into Mamoru's apartment. "Hey, Mamoru." She sighed.
Four people stepped out of Mamoru's apartment; three of them woman. Usagi dropped her water bottle in shock and it bounced along the floor spewing water along the carpet. "Who are you?" Mamoru asked, "And what are you doing in Usagi's apartment?"
The three women looked at her in confusion, but she continued to gape at them. Then Usagi started to laugh and jump up and down insanely. "I can't believe it!" She gasped, "I wanted you here, and now you are!"
The light in the hallway hit her locket as she jumped and made it shine. One of the girl's eyes were drawn to it, "No!" She gasped her green eyes going wide in shock. "Usagi?!" She exclaimed. The other two women and Mamoru looked at the green-eyed one in surprise, until she was tackled to the ground.
"Yaten!" She exclaimed hugging the startled woman. Usagi stood back up and jumped up and down in her short skirt giving Yaten, who was still on the floor, quite and eyeful. She grabbed Seiya and Taiki and hugged them as well. All three women were still in shock as they stared down at the girl in front of them.
*This couldn't be Usagi.* They all thought, *This woman looked nothing like the girl they had left on earth. Usagi was pure and sweet. This woman was...............hot!* All three blushed at their thoughts and Usagi grinned. "We've gotta go see the girls!" Usagi exclaimed starting down the hall. Seiya and Taiki followed groggily but Yaten was still frozen to the floor and staring at the place where Usagi had previously been standing.
Usagi ran back and bent over offering not only her hand but also a great view of her cleavage. Yaten blushed and took the proffered hand. Usagi pulled the embarrassed woman up with a knowing grin. Before the other woman could get away, Usagi tightened her grip on Yaten's hand and pulled the girl close. She bent down and grazed her lips across Yaten's. Yaten's eyes fluttered closed and she leaned towards Usagi, catching her lips. Gasps of surprise rose from the others in the hallway. Usagi welcomed the invitation and kissed Yaten passionately holding her to her. Her tongue grazed Yaten's lips and Yaten opened her mouth eagerly, burying her fingers in Usagi's silver curls.
Usagi pulled away slowly obliging Yaten with short kisses as she disentangled herself from her grasp. Yaten's lips were slightly parted in longing and she swayed slightly in place. Her eyelids fluttered open slowly and she looked up to see Usagi looking at her through her long lashes. "Let's go see the girls." Usagi repeated and turned away from Yaten. She walked past a stunned Seiya and Taiki and started down the stairs. Yaten came up behind them and they turned their shocked gazes to her. "Jealous?" Yaten asked with a light, girlish giggle and started down the stairs.
Seiya and Taiki looked at each other before racing down the stairs yelling at Yaten. Mamoru watched them go with pained eyes. Heartbroken, he turned back into his apartment and closed the door.
%^%^%^%^%^%
At the Hikawa Shrine, Usagi pushed open the door to the study silencing the voices inside. She wasn't surprised to see everyone there, including the Outers. They all gave her rather guilt-laced looks riddled with nervousness. She rolled her eyes and smirked, "Oh come on! It was obvious you were talking about me."
They laughed too and visibly relaxed. "I came to tell you guys what happened with Mamoru." Rei grinned up at Usagi and bit her lip. Usagi winked at the Shinto Priestess. Rei stood up and started to walk towards the silver-haired girl.
"What about us?!" An annoyed voice asked from behind Usagi.
"Oh yeah!" She exclaimed, "I brought some friends." The door was opened wider revealing the Starlights. The Senshi were surprised to see them, especially in their female forms. They stepped into the room alongside Usagi and waved at the others in the room. Yaten came up behind Usagi and wrapped her arms around her waist. Yaten rested her head on Usagi's shoulder and grinned. "Yep. We're back."
Rei glared at the new woman.
Usagi pulled away from Yaten, and Rei smirked in triumph, but Usagi walked right past her as well and sat down beside Haruka. Both Yaten and Rei stomped into the room and glowered at the older woman who had stolen their prize. They dropped to the ground in a huff and sulked. Seiya laughed and sat down among the Inners with Taiki.
"What's with the new look Usagi?" Makoto asked.
Usagi bit her lip, "Well. It's sort of been this color for a while, but I've been dying it."
"And the rest of it?" Michiru asked, motioning with her hand.
"It's the new me!" Usagi exclaimed cheerily.
"I think you're beautiful." Haruka complimented and kissed Usagi's temple, making the younger woman blush. "Thank you 'Ruka-chan."
Both Yaten and Rei were practically green with envy.
"Now about the Mamoru thing. I just realized that I didn't love him anymore, and Crystal Tokyo can't be ruled without love. I wanted to tell him I still loved him and make him happy again, but I knew I would only hurt him in the end." She said simply.
"What about this wish?" Ami asked.
"I saw a shooting star and I wished that I could figure out what I really wanted. And everything just started to come together and I know what I want to do with my life! I finally know what I'm doing!" Her voice had gotten more excited as she talked and now her face was flushed and she was grinning. Her voice was quiet again. "I'm really happy..."
She looked around at the smiling faces of her closest friends and felt refreshed. "Now onto the important stuff." They looked at her with interest. "Now, I love you all, and I know you all love me and want me." Everyone in the room blushed, including the sixteen year old Hotaru. "I want you all to be happy." She paused, "Rei, Yaten. I love you both so much. Don't be mad at each other..." She turned her gaze back to the entire room. "I will always be there for all of you, no matter what. Even if I do become completely serious with one, I will still love the others no matter what. You are all very important and I wanted you to know that."
She smiled crookedly at them. As one they all jumped at her and hugged her burying her beneath a pile of giggling girls. Once they had extracted themselves from the pile Setsuna turned to Usagi. "You do know you have totally destroyed the future and the Timeline." She said seriously. Usagi just gave another crooked smile, and kissed the Senshi of Time. The room laughed and clapped at Setsuna's stunned expression when Usagi pulled away. Setsuna was slightly dazed and pink.
"Your kisses always have that effect," Haruka said with a low laugh.
Usagi grinned at Setsuna and whispered in her ear, "In that case, now you can spend more time with me..." The older woman blushed crimson much to the amusement of those assembled who had rarely seen Setsuna not in control.
"Do you know what we need?" Hotaru asked slyly.
"SLUMBER PARTY!"
