Usagi looked over at Mamoru and her heart twisted with pain. ' I thought. I heard. nah! It can't be!' Shrugging it off, she faced her friends who were now well on their way to the dining room for the 'formal' dinner that they had hosted. Giggling in her mind, she went over to Mamoru and took his hand in hers.
A small electric shock went from his hands to hers and for one brief moment, she saw Mamoru in his real age. He looked so lonely. Not only that, he looked pained as if he just lost his best friend.
" Sere?"
She looked away only to face a sea of blue. She smiled as Endymion took her other hand in his and the three went to the dining room together.
* * *
After dinner and after escorting the remaining 'guests' to their cars, silence filled the house once again as couples went to find some privacy. Mamoru was left alone to explore the mansion. He decided to go room to room to check what was there.
Rei and Yuuchiro had gone into the living room and were discussing what they were to do with the rest of their lives. Mamoru would occasionally hear giggles and chuckles from the couple. After a few minutes, he felt his heart twitch with pain, thus leaving him no other choice than to leave the two alone.
He came into the indoor pool and saw Ami with her arms draped around Ryu comforting him from another vision he had received. Mamoru felt badly for Ryu, always receiving visions that were either good or bad causing him pain. At first Mamoru had regarded Ryu's visions to be a gift to him, being able to see how to save people from harm. But now, seeing what it was doing to him, he felt somewhat sympathetic for him.
He decided to walk on, not wanting to see them in a tight embrace. He stopped in front of a huge room that resembled a small ballroom. He saw Mina and his best friend, Motoki laughing as they tangoed across the shiny floor without music.
" It would be better to join them, rather than sulk out here, young prince."
Mamoru turned sharply, surprised that someone was behind him. Setsuna smiled kindly and offered a hand, but he politely declined, hoping that she would not be offended by him doing so.
" I. don't want to intrude" Mamoru said truthfully. " They seem to have so much fun with each other. even if they're acting childish"
Setsuna chuckled lightly and followed Mamoru as he walked on and stopped at the indoor 'paradise' that Michiru and Haruka had made. It was a breathtaking replica of a real waterfall surrounded by a jungle.
" Wow"
Setsuna stepped inside and Mamoru followed her cautiously. It was beautifully made, considering that the room was originally a white space that barely had enough room for a bed.
" I was surprised that Haruka and Michiru made this" Setsuna said softly. " This waterfall is an exact replica of Serenity-sama's favorite place to think. She would come here and wash her fears away."
Mamoru hung his head and left Setsuna to watch his retreating form. He walked on until he came to the kitchen where he spotted Kioshi and Makoto painting each other's faces with brownie batter.
" You know, by the time we're done here, we wont have enough batter to actually MAKE brownies!" Makoto said
" Yes, we should clean up!" Kioshi got a twinkle in his eyes. Before Makoto had a chance to blink, the floor was clean and there was no sign of the brownie fight they just had.
" H-how?"
" It's a thing I learned when I was back with Mother in Venus. Being the Queen makes her a neat freak!"
Makoto smiled as she recalled a time when she made a huge mess in the kitchen and Mina got into a fit saying that she would be grounded if they didn't clean it up.
" I thought I remembered you from somewhere!" Makoto smiled. " You were Prince Keiichi of Venus! I..I can't believe I forgot."
Mamoru watched as Makoto's face darkened into a deep crimson hue. " I had the biggest crush on you. back in the Silver Millenium" he overheard her say.
" Had?"
". well. I still do."
Mamoru faced the other way as Makoto and Kioshi decided to use the time they had to catch up on old times. He continued his walk until he got to the music room where he saw Endymion, Usagi, Haruka and Michiru sitting down in front of a young girl with deep violet locks. She was playing a soft melody on the violin. After she finished, her audience went into a series of applauses.
" That was wonderful, Hotaru-chan! I'm sure you must've practiced hard to perfect it!" Usagi said.
Hotaru blushed and smiled. " Thank you, Hime-sama!"
Haruka embraced her 'daughter' and took her to her bedroom. " I'll just make sure she goes to bed, 'Chiru."
Michiru smiled lovingly and nodded. " Make sure you come back soon, love"
Mamoru silently made his way towards he three and sat down on the seat farthest from them, but not too far that he couldn't eavesdrop on their conversation.
" You are blessed to be with the one you love dearly so early!" Endymion teased.
" Oh, Endymion-sama! You joke so! You and Sere found each other even before Haruka and I were born!" Michiru said.
Usagi's brow creased with confusion. " I beg your pardon? You. you're much older than I was back in the Silver Millenium"
Michiru laughed. " Yes, but Endy here is older than I am. The moment you were born, Endy here could not take his eyes off you!"
Endymion blushed but held Usagi closer into his arms making Mamoru fume with anger.
Suddenly Usagi gasped and clutched her brooch. " Attack. we. have to.Park. now!"
With a brilliant light, she transformed into Sailor Moon, surprising both Michiru and Mamoru. 'She hadn't said the words. yet she transformed?'
' The crystal reacts to her heart. whether or not she says the trigger doesn't matter' Endymion replied to his question.
Sailor Moon ran as fast as she could inside the mansion and called her senshi for backup. She and Endymion dashed to the park where Jedite stood beside a youma which no one thought would be back.
