Disclaimer: We do not own any of the Sailor Moon characters. All we own is the plot/storyline.

Yue Moon: First attempt at a Sailor Moon fanfic. It was written by both me and Sakura-chan (aka one of my best friends). We know this chapter is a bit short, but we'll try to write longer ones. There's just so much to do!

Summary- Mamoru travels to America to go to college there. But before he leaves he proposes to Usagi. He promises he'll be back in a year...she promises she'll wait for him. What happens? Mamoru does return, as promised...but he also brought something back. She's clinging to his arm...

By The Way- Like I mentioned before...there are no powers...

Chapter 3
Seiya looked down at his watch as he walked up to Usagi's front door.

~12 o'clock exactly. Good~ he thought as he rang the door bell. He waited...He rang it again...
~What's taking her so long?~ He wondered, ringing the bell for the third time. He couldn't hear anything or anyone in the house.

"Maybe I should call her," he muttered to himself, pulling a cell phone out of his jean pocket.

~I hope she still has the same number she had a year ago~ he though as he punched in some mubers. He could hear the phone ring from within Usagi's house. After 5 rings the answering machine came on. Seiya hung up. He started to bang on the door, calling out Usagi's name. After a couple of minutes of endless pounding and yelling, a thought struck him.

"Oh my god what if something happened to her O_O!" He said as he jumped up and caught a hold of the balcony floor, hoisting himself up onto it.

~I hope this is still her room,~ he thought as he dusted himself off. The sliding door was slightly open and the curtains were swaying in the morning breeze.

"USAGI?! USAGI WHERE ARE YOU?! Are you okay?!?!" He called out as he quickly stepped into her room and anxiously looked around for some sign that indicated a struggle had taken place. Suddenly he heard a little sob coming from the corner to the far right. He made his way towards the sobbing sounds and gasped when he found Usagi huddled in the corner, crying as she rocked back and forth. Seiya rushed to her and knelt down, checking her for bruises or some kind of mark.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt? What happened?! What's wrong?" He said in a worried tone. Usagi wiped her tears away and looked up at him.

"Gomen...it's nothing...nothing's wrong," she apologised.

Seiya looked at her skeptically.

"Are you sure? Cause when I saw the glass door out there slightly opened, I thought that someone might have come in and...and hurt you...I was so scared that someone might have done something to you...especially after no one answered the door, the phone or my frantic calls...I was really worried," he whispered, pulling Usagi into a hug.

"Gomen nasai...I never heard the door bell or the phone ring...I didn't mean to worry you...I guess I forgot to shut the door all the way when I came in last night...Gomen ne," she said hugging him back.

"So are you sure you're okay?" He asked, looking down at her.

"Ya...I'm fine," she replied. And to prove it, she smiled.

"If you're not feeling too good, we can always put off the lunch and concert for some other time. If you need to rest--"

"No it's quite alright. I'm fine," she said looking up into Seiya's eyes. "Really...I'm okay," she whispered, remembering the flashbacks she was having last night.

~I don't want to hurt him anymore.~

Seiya broke out into a grin and stood up. He held out his hand and pulled Usagi up.

"Happy birthday odango," he said kissing her on the forehead. She looked down hoping to hide the blush that crept up on her face.

"Arigatou..." she said, managing to keep her voice from cracking.

"I guess I'll wait out in the car," he said as he turned towards the sliding door, making his way out.

"Er...Seiya..."

"Yah?" He said turning back to her.

"The front door is over there," she said pointing the opposite way of where he was heading.

"I know," he said walking out of the sliding door. He turned around and smiled at her through the glass. "It's quicker and easier this way," he grinned. "I'll be waiting."

He jumped off the balcony.
-Five minutes later-

Usagi locked the front door and slipped the keys into her purse. She was wearing a medium length jean skirt with a black and red shirt. She had a dark blue jean purse hanging from her right shoulder and was wearing black and red sport/tennis-shoes.

Usagi walked over to where Seiya had parked his black convertable and slid into the passenger seat, putting her purse next to her feet. She shut the door and turned to Seiya.

"So where do you wanna eat?" He asked, putting the keys into the ignition and turning it.

"Uummm...anywhere is fine," she replied unsurely.

Seiya sped up and took a right. He took another right then kept going. He then took a left and another right.

~Oh my god...is he headed towards Mercados? I heard that's a really fancy and expensive restaurant that serves Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch and Dinner...~ she thought.

Sure enough, Seiya steered the car into the parking lot and parked near the entrance of the enormous restaurant.

"Umm...Seiya..."

"Ya?" he said, turning to look at Usagi while he undid his seatbelt and took the keys out of the ignition.

"A-are you sure about this?" She asked, eyeing the huge building infront of them.

"What do you mean? Do you not like it here?" He asked, looking a bit hurt.

"No no! It's not that...I love it...It's just that...I don't think I'm worth it..." She said looking down at her lap.

~Mamo-chan never thought I was worth it either...~ she thought as a look of saddness overcame her features.
*Flashback*
"Uooooh can we please go there Mamo-chan!" Asked Usagi as she steered Mamoru towards a fancy looking building. There was a nice aroma that clung in the air around the restaurant.

"What?! Are you kidding me? That place is REALLY expensive," he laughed. "There's no way I'm taking you there."

"But you said you'd take me somewhere we've never been before...somewhere romantic...You know...as an early birthday gift since you won't be here when I turn 16," she said smiling up at him. "Remember?"

"Ya well I can't afford this place. Come on Usako, let's go eat somewhere else," he said as he begun to walk off.

~How could he not afford this when he just got through buying a house for some mysterious reason...And then there are the tickets to America...Plus he said he was planning on buying a trampoline for the new house...he said he was gonna buy it tomorrow...so how can't he afford this?~ Thought Usagi as she jogged to catch up with Mamoru. She shook her head clear of those thoughts and smiled up at him.

"Okay. So where do you plan on taking me?" She said, drawing closer to him and clinging on to his arm.

"Oh I know!" Exclaimed Mamoru. "How about over there," he said pointing to a McDonalds. "It's a small and cozy place...somewhat romantic."

Usagi hid her disappointment... "Sure why not?" She said, coming close to tears. She had hoped that he'd take her somewhere else...not to a fast food restaurant.
*End Flashback*
"What?! Why would you say that? Ofcourse you're worth it. Besides, it's not everyday someone turns 17," he said smiling at her. "Don't worry. I have everything under control," he said as he got out of the car and shut his door, walking to the other side. He opened the passenger door and helped her out, handing her her purse and shutting that door also. He held out his arm and Usagi slipped hers in. "Shall we?" He grinned.

Usagi smiled up at him and nodded.
