Usagi woke up in her bedroom wondering what happened. The last thing she had remembered was Mamoru in her apartment teasing her about her jobs. She stood up, and looked at her clock. It was 9:00 in the morning. It was a Sunday, so she was on an off day. As she was about to go to her living room, she found a note on her door.
" Odango Attama, you fell asleep and I didn't want to wake you up, so I carried you to your bedroom. Mamoru," Usagi read.
She scoffed at the name Mamoru had given her. Odango Attama. Though she actually enjoyed being called 'dumpling' she didn't like it one bit that he called her 'Dumpling HEAD'. It was bad enough Rei had been calling her dumb, reckless, and Klutz-queen, Mamoru gave her a new nickname for her.
Usagi changed into a pair of jeans and a white shirt. She put on her shoes and began to walk towards the arcade.
As she went in, she heard a couple of 'Hey Usagi's and 'Yo, odango!'s. She smiled at her five friends. The tall brunette was talking to a tall brown haired man. They looked perfect, somehow. Kino Makoto, and Kioshi Shinosaki were a good couple. They had just hooked up a few months ago. Kioshi was Makoto's best friend, and after Makoto's old boyfriend had dumped her for the second time, Kioshi had tried to cheer her up, only ending in her moving.
Kioshi moved to Juuban four months ago, the results were not what Usagi had expected. She had expected that Makoto would still be best friends with Kioshi, only Kioshi had been extremely shy around Makoto, and that often led to misunderstandings. But after a few match making with Venus the goddess of love, and Moon the champion of justice, the two had become CLOSER than before.
"Hey Mako-chan, Kioshi-kun, Rei-chan, Mina-chan, Ami-chan," Usagi said.
The short, shy, blue haired girl put her physics book down and smiled at Usagi as she heard her named being said.
" Ami-chan! I thought Urawa-san was coming?" Usagi asked.
She hadn't really known the guy for long, only knowing that he had moved to Juuban a couple of months ago, and dated Ami, but then he had to go to the U.S. to study. Urawa Ryo was a shy, brown haired man. He was a year Ami's senior and was just about five inches taller than Ami, at that. The two were perfect. They were also study-freaks.
"Iie, Usa-chan. Ryo-chan is busy today. We had to cancel," Ami said blushing a little.
"Geez Odango, to think you would've figured that out!" said a scoffing raven- haired girl.
Usagi's face flashed a slight glimpse of sadness and anger, but disappeared as she smiled.
"Iie, Rei. Not everyone thinks the way YOU do, but then who does?" Usagi snapped.
Hino Rei was a mean preistess, but she considers Usagi her best friend. She had long black hair, and voilet eyes. She had admirers all over Juuban, but no one was as loyal as Kumada Yuuchiro. Yuuchiro had black hair that reached his shoulders. His brown eyes weren't noticeable since his bangs hid it well.
" Whatever. Anyway, Mamoru-chan is coming to pick me up today. We're going on our third date," Rei bragged.
Usagi flinched a bit at that sentence. She had just spent time with Mamoru last night, and they had managed to be civil. She then looked at Aino Minako. She looked a bit like her, but her eyes were lighter and her hair was a lighter blond too. She usually had it down with a huge red bow on it. She looked at bit sad, and occupied with the pole outside.
"Hey, girls, Kioshi, Odango," a familiar voice said.
Usagi looked at the man who had just called her 'Odango'. Mamoru was smiling at her.
"Hey Mamoru-kun," Minako, Ami and Makoto said.
"Hey, Mamoru-chan," Rei said sweetly.
Usagi raised her eyebrow in disbelief. She felt as though she needed to hurl.
"Excuse me, but I need to talk to Motoki-kun," Usagi said as she went to the counter where Motoki was wiping.
Mamoru stared longingly at Usagi, but let her go. Rei didn't notice and started to hug his arm.
"Rei, we need to talk. Can we go to the park?" Mamoru asked, hiding the fact that he was half annoyed at her.
"Sure, sweetums. I'll just grab my coat," Rei said and they went off.
Motoki looked at Usagi. She was just sitting there. Not talking, or drinking her milkshake, not inhaling the food, she was just sitting there, picking on her fries and stirring the milkshake.
"What's wrong?" Motoki asked.
"What?" Usagi said. "What do you mean?"
"Spill, tell me, why you're so glum!" Motoki demanded.
Usagi sighed. Motoki had acted like her big brother since she had been coming there since she was 12. Motoki was also Mamoru's best friend. Usagi used to make people believe that she had a crush on Motoki and Motoki knew that it was just an act to keep all of her admirers at bay.
"I-I've got a problem," Usagi said.
"So," Motoki said. "Tell me,"
" I've fallen in love with a man that hates me. He's very," Usagi stared at her fries " hard to figure out,"
"how so?"
"Well for one, he can be harsh one day, but loving the next..." She smiled " for instance, one time, at a ball, I had no partner, so he offered to be a companion. He talked to me, laughed with me and we had fun," she said.
Then her smile disappeared and was replaced by a frown. "Then the next day I accidentally bumped into him, resulting with him dropping his book. He yelled at me, asking me how I could be so klutzy,"
"Is this Mamoru we're talking about?" Motoki asked.
"No!" Usagi lied defensively. Motoki's question hit home.
Motoki raised his eyebrow in disbelief.
"okay," Usagi said. "So what? I said It. I finally admitted it to someone!"
" good," Motoki said grinning like a fool.
"Why is it that he hates me?" Usagi asked.
"he doesn't," Motoki said. "Don't worry, things will be better in due time," he assured her.
'I hope you're right, becuase I seriously do not know if I can stand another day of Rei's bragging'
* * *
Meanwhile, at the park, Mamoru made Rei sit on a bench. He stood in front of her and started pacing back and forth.
"Rei, what do you think our relationship is?" Mamoru asked.
"i'm your girlfriend," Rei said as-a-matter-of-factly.
"Iie, you're not," Mamoru said flatly. " Our relationship: as you call it, is just plain friends. I did not DATE you,"
Rei opened her mouth but Mamoru placed his finger on it.
"Ah-ah, I did not DATE you. We HUNG out. I went to the movies with you AND Yuuchiro. I went boating with you since you said it was you BIRTHDAY. THEN, now. I am not dating you, I am telling you that we are and never were an ITEM,"Mamoru said.
Rei stuttered then she smiled sadly.
"I guess I had it coming. I always felt a strong love vibe from you, but I guess it wasn't directed to me, ne?" Rei said. "Friends?"
Mamoru took her hand and shook it. But then, a youma appeared from no where in particular. It was in a shape of an hourglass. Rei didn't think twice. She took out her communicator and started to call for the girls.
'Usagi had one like that!'Mamoru thought. 'So she's a senshi?'
"Mars here! Guys, Youma at Juuban park!" Rei hollered . "MARS...STAR...POWER!"
Mamoru stared as the flames disappeared leaving a girl in a short red Senshi fuku.
"Mars...fire...surround!"
Mamoru hid behind a bush and transformed. He then watched as Rei tried to sizzle it.
"Jupiter...Thunder...Zap!" another female voice said. A figure then jumped next to Mars.
"Took you long enough! Where are the others?" Mars asked.
" Mercury is behind a tree analyzing the youma. Venus is distracting Motoki. Moon, is-"
"Moon Tiara Magic!"
The white flash went flying into the hourglass shattering it.
"Great!" Mars exclaimed. "For once you're here on time!"
"Shut it!" Moon said extremely fumed.
Tuxedo kamen came out of the clearing, but he came out in a wrong time. The hourglass threw the sand on him and started chanting.
" Tuxedo kamen!" Mars exclaimed. "Mars...Fire...Ignite!"
The ball of flames didn't even sratch it.
"my turn!" Another female said " Venus Cresent Beam Smash!"
Two cresent moons flashed and hit the hourglass. Sailor Moon then took out her sceptre.
"moon...scepter...ellimination!"
"In the end I win!!! You will have a true love's curse. until you find him. a child will you be" it said as he pointed at Tuxedo Mask.
Sailor Moon looked at Tuxedo Kamen, who was groaning in pain. Mars was cradling his head, like he was hers. Mercury analyzed his wounds, which was suprisingly, none.
"Tuxedo Kamen?" Jupiter asked.
"I-I'm fine...Mars...Rei?" Tuxedo Kamen asked.
"yes, I am...Mamoru," Rei said as she detransformed. They were all so engrossed in Mamoru's new found secret Identity, that they didn't noticed the pained expression Usagi had. 'Rei's got the man I...love? No, I can't LOVE Mamoru can I? It's just a crush! But Tuxedo Kamen...'
She was about to go away, when suddenly, Rei gasped.
"What?" Usagi asked as she turned around. She went towards the girls and looked at Mamoru. Her eyes widened with confusion,amazement and fear.
Usagi stared at a little boy . She looked at the boy curiously. He had dark blue eyes, similar to Mamoru's, black hair, and a very determined look.
" Mamoru-san?" Usagi asked.
"What?" he asked in a little voice. "my voice?! What the hell happened to my voice?"
"Y-y-y-y," Rei stuttered. She wasn't frightened, more shocked that is. She had just been holding Mamoru, then bam! This kid appears in his place.
"what are we gonna do?What are we going to do?!" Makoto asked over and over.
Usagi stood there, in deept thought. Minako, who was still Venus was trying to get their attention.
"Guys?" Venus said. "Guys?"
"Ah-ha! I knew you girls weren't normal!"a deep masculine voice said, as he stood beside a tree.
" Is this what you trying to tell us?" Rei asked dryly.
"yes! I was going to say that Motoki was here, but no one gave me the time of day,"Minako said as she detransformed.
"So Usa, You're Sailor Moon?" Motoki asked. His eyes were gleaming with pride.
"um, yeah. I'm the worthless leader of the senshi," Usagi said hesitantly.
She turned around and started walking away. 'i can't believe I couldn't do any-' Usagi then got hit with the realization of the answer. She turned around and faced the senshi.
"i know what happened!" she said.
Ami looked at Usagi with disbelief. She sighed, being the patient one.
"Okay, give it a shot," she said. Preparing for the laughter that would soon follow.
"The youma said that Tux-Mamoru would be cursed until he figured out his true feelings...Right?" Usagi said. The girls nodded, none knowing what connection there was. " Well, If I'm correct, he's going to stay a child,"
"What?" Mamoru asked. "i can't be a child!"
"Well, the answer might be, if you could tell us your inner feelings," Usagi said.
The girls thought it over and were surprised that it made sense. Mamoru DID have emotional problems. He had no idea who he loved, hated, and who his friends were.
"Well...i can truly say that I know who I'm friends with, I don't HAVE mortal enemies, but...I have no clue as to who I love," Mamoru said sheepishly.
"Mamoru, didn't you once tell me that you had a dream about a Princess?" Motoki asked.
"yeah. Serenity," mamoru said. "That's part of the problem. i'm in love with 3 girls. Now that I found out that two of them are the same person, I only have problem in choosing between the Princess and the other girl,"
Usagi looked at Mamoru and she couldn't quite place it, but she thought he seemed familiar.
"What are you staring at me for Odango?" Mamoru asked.
"I- Nothing. I should be going. My- um, Parents will be worried about me, and I ahve to talk to Luna," Usagi lied.
"Luna? Your cat?" Motoki asked.
"She talks," Makoto said. "Look, we'll explain. We'll have a sleepover at my place, Usagi?"
"no, thanks. I have work, I mean HOME work," Usagi said. Then she quickly ran towards the apartments.
"Does she know her house is that way?" Rei asked as she pointed the opposite direction.
"She does," Mamoru said. "I have my own story to tell, after you explain."
