I could not remember the Japanese version of Tuxedo Mask, so I kept his name as it is. Sorry!
Chapter 6: Explanations
Huffing as she ran along the road towards the Arcade, Mina kept on seeing the two arch-nemesis kiss. Former arch-nemesis. She smiled to herself. As the senshi of love, she could not be happier to see someone in love.
"It's about time the two of them got together," she thought to herself. "I win the bet with the girls!" She thought back to that day.
*Flashback*
Four girls sat at a booth at the back of the Arcade where they frequented. They all looked towards the front where another of their friend was getting their sodas.
"Look at those two fighting again." Mina said. "It is so cute!" She giggled.
Rei, looking quite frustrated, "When is Odango Atama coming back with our sodas! I am getting so thirsty!"
"Chill, Rei. You don't have to be the Senshi of Fire all the time." Lita reassured her. "Anyway, it is kind of fun to see Usagi and Mamoru-chan arguing everyday."
"Actually, they do not fight everyday. Only 6 out of 7 days." Ami said, not looking up from the Geometry and Trigonometry book.
Mina sighed. "The two of them are so perfect together. I bet they will get together soon." She sighed again.
Rei huffed, "I don't think so. She is such a klutz! Mamoru deserves to be with someone much better than Odango."
"Don't be such a dull, Rei. They do make a lovely couple. If only Mamoru- chan looked like my old boyfriend, I would go for him myself," sighed Lita. "Maybe you want him for yourself. Just like when we first met him.
"Don't be stupid Lita. I am so over him now. Mamoru is not my type anymore... I prefer more. artistic men. Not someone so intense on studying. Besides, all guys look like your old boyfriend," Rei said.
"I like Mamoru." Ami stated when she put her book down finally. "He has some good books on physics and anatomy that I want to borrow." She looked towards the couple still fighting. "What are they fighting about?"
All four girls looked towards the counter again.
"They are too different, Mina. They won't last as a couple for more than a minute, let alone an hour. Just look at them!" Rei pointed out.
"But it is their differences that might draw them to each other," sighed Mina again. "Haven't you heard of opposites detract?"
"You mean attract." Lita corrected her. The other girls sweat-dropped.
"Of course I have," Rei said indignantly. "But that doesn't mean it always work."
"Actually it is true that opposites attract to each other." Ami stated matter-of-factly. "Just look at magnets. The opposite poles are always trying to get next to each other. And positive and negative ions in chemical reactions."
"O.K Ami!" Rei interrupted. "I know how it works. But I still don't think Mamoru-chan and Usagi will fall in love with each other."
Mina sighed once more, "I think they will."
*End of Flashback*

Meanwhile, the two lovebirds finally let go of each other as their lungs were burning up with the need for more oxygen. They smiled at each other.
"I love you, Usako," confessed Mamoru.
"I love you too, Mamo-chan," returned Usagi. She leaned towards him. "Will we tell the other girls today? I know we decided to tell my parents later.What about your parents, Mamo-chan? Shouldn't we tell them too?"
Mamoru's face suddenly closed. "Usagi. my parents died when I was five years old in a car crash. I've been alone since then."
Usagi immediately apologised. "Oh, I am so sorry, Mamo-chan! I didn't know!" She went to hug him.
"I know you didn't. Not a lot of people know at all. I don't want anyone's pity," he said as they hugged.
Usagi leaned back, her face slightly damp from unshed tears, "But to be alone for so long, Mamo-chan!"
Mamoru wiped her cheeks with his fingers. "Don't cry for me, Usako. I'm not alone anymore. You're here with me," he reminded his love.
Usagi smiled at the thought and rested her face against his chest. "You're right, Mamo-chan. You're not alone anymore and you will never be alone from now on. You have me."
Mamoru tightened his hold on Usagi's waist as they sat there silently, enjoying each other's company.

Arriving at the Arcade, Mina burst through the door, frantically searching for the others, to tell them of what she saw in the park. She saw the three girls at one of the back booths and practically skipped towards them with a gigantic smile.
"Guess what I saw in the park?!" Mina said, the smile getting even bigger.
The girls looked up from their sodas.
"What is it Mina?" Lita asked.
"Let me guess, you saw lovebirds mating," said Rei sarcastically.
"Actually." Mina thought about it, "You're correct! I did see lovebirds! But not of the feathery kind! The two-legged kind!"
"So what, Mina? The park is always full of lovers," stated Ami.
"But the people I saw was someone you all know and you wouldn't guess who I saw them with!" Mina said mysteriously. This got the other girls attention. They all leaned towards Mina.
"Who did you see? Who were they with?" they all asked. Mina smiled a secret smile and slid into the booth next to Lita.
Lita questioned Mina first. "Come one, Mina. Don't be cruel. Who was it you saw in the park?"
"Well." said Mina slyly. "I don't know if I should tell you or not. But."
"But what?" Rei asked, leaning even more across the table. "Stop the teasing Mina. You know you want to tell us."
"Weeelll..O.K. Do you all remember the conversation we all had a few weeks ago about how I thought a certain couple will get together?" Mina waited for their answer.
"Of course we do," stated Ami. "It was about.No!" A surprised look came to Ami's face. "You don't mean."
Mina nodded.
"Oh my gosh." Ami went silent, contemplating this new discovery.
"What? Who?" The other two girls cried out, not know who the person they were talking about.
Mina sighed at their poor memories. "Don't you remember our talk about opposites detracting from each other?"
The girls sweat-dropped again.
"You mean attract. Opposites attract." Lita once again corrected Mina. A look of realisation came over her face. She covered her mouth with her hand in surprised. "It can't be! Can it?"
Mina nodded.
"What? Who? Come one now! Everyone knows except me!" Rei said, frustrated.
"Well." Mina leaned forward and Rei followed. "It was about Usagi and Mamoru."
Rei gasped. "No! Odango and Mamoru-san? Are you sure?"
"As sure as my own eyes say." Mina reassured her.
The girls sweat dropped again at Mina's blunder with idioms.
"What your eyes tell you." Ami corrected her this time.
"Well, I saw them at the park. Kissing!" Mina said secretly.
"Oh gosh!" All of the girls sat there to comprehend the new events.

Usagi stirred in Mamoru's arms and turned to look at him. "We should tell the girls today. They have the right to know that we're a couple now and that we know each other's identities."
"I guess so, Usako. They should definitely know I am Tuxedo Mask," said Mamoru. "And that I know you are Sailormoon." He smiled down at her.
Usagi smiled back and they both got up, readying their clothes, which had gotten messed up.
After brushing down his shirt and pants, Mamoru held out his hand to Usagi, who was doing the same. She took it gladly, and they walked away together.
***
The couple looked at each other as they arrived in front of the Arcade, still holding hands.
"Are we up to this, Mamo-chan?" asked Usagi.
"We decided to this, Usako. I will be with you all the way," comforted Mamoru.
"All right." Usagi steeled herself against the onslaught they would later face.
Mamoru looked down at Usagi and saw her determination to do this obviously very hard task.
"This is why I love Usagi. She is so strong inside and so lovely." He thought to himself.
Then they walked through the door together.
***
"Psst! Guess who walked in the door just now!" Mina whispered to the other girls.
They all turned to look at the front of the arcade to see a couple looking around.
"Usagi!" Ami gasped.
"With Mamoru!" said Rei.
"Holding hands!" exclaimed Lita.
"I knew it!" Mina did a little victory movement on the booth. "I knew it was them!"
"Shhh.," quieted Rei.
"We can't let them know that we know already or they would be crushed," stated Ami.
"That's true, Ami," said Lita, "So, we should all agree to act surprised to see them together and let them make the explanations. O.K?"
The girls all nodded their heads in agreement.
***
Usagi's hand tightened around Mamoru's.
"Look Mamoru! There they are! At the back booth!" she exclaimed. "Let's go and get this over with." She dragged Mamoru with her as she walked towards the group of girls.
"Usako, wait!" Mamoru yelped desperately. "Motoki's here as well. We have to tell him too!"
Usagi looked back at her boyfriend but never slowed her pace. "O.K!"
They reached the booth and Usagi suddenly stopped, Mamoru colliding with her back slightly. The four girls, who had been watching them since the front door, giggled.
"Hey Usagi. Hello Mamoru," greeted Ami. "What are you doing here?"
"Yeah, Odango Atama. Why did you bring Mamoru here?" asked Rei , innocently.
"Why are you blushing, Usagi-chan?" Lita asked, sweetly. "Is it too hot in here?"
"It must be too hot. Mamoru is blushing slightly too." Mina said smiling.
All of the girls sat there patiently waiting for their reply.
"Uh.. Hi, guys! How are things?" Usagi asked a bit too brightly. She winced slightly at her tone.
"Nothing much. We just saw you an hour ago, Usagi-chan," said Ami.
"Did you do anything interesting at your important meeting, Usagi?" Mina asked. Under the table, Rei kicked her. "Ouch!"
Mamoru looked concerned. "What's wrong, Mina-chan? What made you go ouch?"
The girls sweat dropped.
"Urgh." Mina began.
"Mina has a bit of pins and needles." Ami said quickly, staring at Mina.
Usagi and Mamoru looked at the senshi of love strangely.
"Anyway, we have something important to tell you guys." Usagi started to say.
"You do?" asked Rei, already knowing what Usagi had to say.
"Well. you see. well. it's like this." Flustered, Usagi looked at Mamoru for some help.
"Well, girls, Usagi and I." Mamoru looked down at Usagi desperately.
Usagi tried to finish, "What Mamoru is trying to say, is that well. MamoruandIarenowacoupleandwehopeyoualldontmindthatweare," she said quickly and sighed after finally getting it out.
"What? Can you repeat that?" Rei purposely asked, knowing full well Usagi was uncomfortable.
"Rei-chan!" Usagi said angrily. "You know full well what I had just said!" She crossed her arms.
"Well, I didn't get it because someone was talking too fast to be understood." Rei crossed her arms as well and the two stuck their tongues out at each other.
Mamoru seeing that another fight was coming on, swiftly said, "That is, Usagi and I are now a couple, and we wish you would all approve."
Rei uncrossed her arms and looked at the others around the table.
What will they say? Will they approve of this relationship? Will Usagi and Mamoru tell them that they know each other's secret identities? And what about Motoki? NEXT CHAPTER: UNBELIEVABLE.
