"The sky is gloomy. Sort of like my mood" Usagi said to herself.

She was walking for about an hour now after her encounter with Mamoru when she saw Amy and her friends running towards her. She stops to let them carch up and saw that Seiya was with them. When they reached her, they stood there for a moment catching their breath before speaking.

"Where have you been? We've been tearing the whole Tokyo apart looking for you and where do we find you? At the park, of all places!" Rei said. Usagi just shrugged and continued walking. After a while they caught up with her mood and fell silent.

After a while, Seiya couldn't contain his anger anymore and simply bursts out "That bastard! If I had known he would cheat on you I woulve-" he was cut of by Ami's elbow jabbing at his sides. He saw the sticken face of Usagi and immediately regretted his outburst.

Usagi stopped walking and turned to face them.

"I'm sorry but I would like to be alone now"

With that, she walked quickly away. Everybody respected her wish and didn't follow.

When she arrived home, she was greeted by Shingo at the front entrance

"Hey, sis, a guy's been calling for about a dozen times now. He said that its important that you return his call."

"Did you ask his name?" Usagi said.

"Of course I did. He said his name is Mamoru Chiba."

"Well then, if he calls again tell him that I'm not home. Tell him anything that would make him stop calling me!" Usagi snaps. She stomped her way to her room and slammed the door, leaving Shingo looking at her with shock.

"Whats with her?"

Inside her room, Usagi flung herself to the bed and cried her heart out. All the memories of the two of them together now seems clouded with deciet that she no longer knew what is true and what is false.

As her tears slowly stops, she sat up by her bed and looked around her room. When she saw the picture of Mamoru by ths study table, she immediately scooped it out intending to tear it into pieces. But she found that she couldn't. She slowly sank down the floor holding the picture to her chest and let fresh tears fell from her eyes.

She fell asleep lying by the floor, holding his picture to her chest and dreamt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dream

She was in a vert dark and desolate place. It seems as if the place has been a setting of a great war. She wanders off to find out more of the place and sees the Sailorwarriors lying defeated by the terrain.

Then she saw herself dressed in her princess' gown holding the silver crystal. She was trying to fight the evil that killed her friends. As she raises the crystal and call son its powers to defeat the evil, she was suddenly engulfed with a thick fog.

She lowers the crystal and strains her eyes to see through the fog when she heard a voice calling to her.

"You will be mine. The time has come for me to claim you!" The voice was saying.

After hearing that she suddenly fell into a a dark hole. She screamed for help but no one seems to hear her screams.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She awoke suddenly at the sound of the phone ringing. Groggy, she reached for the extension in her room.

"Hello."

"Usagi? Its me, Mamoru. Listen ab-"

Usagi slams the reciever back in its cradle. She was wide awake by then. The phone rang immediately afterwards. She wrenched the reciever from its cradle to answer it.

"Listen, you despicable excuse for a man! I don-" Usagi shouted at the phone to be cut off by her Father's voice.

"Hey! It's just me." His Father said.

Usagi reddened with embarrasment and quickly apologises.

"Dad, I'm sorry. I thought you were the prankster who keeps calling here a while ago."

"Okey. Just tell you mother that I would be late in going home." Her father said before hanging up.

Usagi returns the reciever in its handle slowly. After a while she disconnected her phone and got ready for bed.

When Mamoru dialed the number of Usagi again, he got a busy signal. He slowly returned the reciever in its cradle before getting ready for bed.

As he was about to go to the bathroom, his doorbell rang. He quickly answers the door hoping that it was Usagi. His face fell when he saw the facee of Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna.

"Oh, its you. What do you want." He asked glumly.

"Thank you for a very warm welcome.It was very nice seeing you again." Michiru said mockingly.

"This is no time for chitchat. The princess is in danger."Haruka snaps at the two.

"What do you mean? You'd better come in." Mamoru said. They entered and he closed the door.

"Sit down. Tell me, what is this danger that you're telling me?" he asked.

"A dark power is out to extinguish the light of the moon. And its doing it through the Princess. We must stop it before it completely engulfs her. Even now the battle has started." Setsuna said.
