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 4
"Would you like any sort of appetizer brought to you while your meal is being prepared sir, ma'am?" The waiter asked, finally getting over the fact that Seiya Kou was sitting right infront of him.

"What would you like?" Seiya asked Usagi, smiling.

"I-I don't know...I can't even read the names of these foods...I've never been here..." Stuttered Usagi. She turned to the waiter. "What do you think is good?"

"Well ma'am, I would definitely recommend the Chicken Depollo. It is, without a doubt, the best appetizer...at least in my opinion it is."

"Alright! We'll take that," declared Usagi. She turned to Seiya and smiled. "Have you been here before?" She asked, taking a sip of her Dr Pepper.

Seiya sighed. "Once...It was sometime ago...before I met you. I was dating this one girl...I was really in love with her...she said the same thing about me," He looked up at the blonde-headed girl infront of him. "She looked alot like you ya know?"

"Oh really? Well where is she now?!" Asked a very curious Usagi.

"She died...She was in a car accident...Drunk driver..." Whispered Seiya, looking down into his drink.

As soon as he had said that, Usagi regretted ever asking him. She suddenly got up and hugged him.

"Gomen nasai...I shouldn't have brought it up...I..."

"No it's quite alright...It's a thing of the past now...Don't worry about it," he said smiling at her. But no smile could hide the hurt Usagi saw in his eyes. She smiled back at him and sat back down.

~I wonder why he never told me earlier...He always seems like the happy kind...Like nothing tragic ever happened to him...I wonder if he'd be able to open up to me a little more. Maybe I can-- ~ Usagi's thoughts were interrupted when the waiter came back with a plate filled with what looked like nacho/tortilla chips with chicken and mozzarella cheese toppled on top, apart from some other things. The waiter set the plate in the middle of the table, smiling at them both.

"Enjoy," he said turning around to take some other couples order.

Usagi didn't move...It looked delicious but a certain memory was keeping her from touching the food.
#Flashback#
Usagi reached for the popcorn and grabbed some, stuffing them in her mouth, snuggling up to Mamoru. They were watching a movie in the livingroom of the Tsukino household.

"Usagi why don't you eat like a lady? You're such a pig, stuffing your face with popcorn that you're practically choking. Geeeez," Said Mamoru as he got up and stopped the movie. He walked to the front door and grabbed his coat. "Anyways I have to go. I have some things to do. Ja!" He called out without looking back at her.

Usagi was still on the couch, obvoiusly stunned. She heard the door shut and broke down crying.
#End Flashback#
"Usagi. Usagi...Usagi?"

Usagi snapped out of her reverie. "What? Huh?"

"Are you okay? You don't seem quite yourself. Do you want to go home?" Asked Seiya as he looked into Usagi's eyes, obviously worried.

Usagi shook her head. "No I'm fine. It's alright...I was just thinking," she said reassuringly.

"Okay then...if you say so," he smiled. "So what are you waiting for? Are you gonna try the stuff or what?"

"Er...after you," she beckoned.

"No no...ladies first. Go ahead...don't be shy."

Usagi reluctantly leaned forward and grabbed a chip, careful not to spill the ingredients on top. She held a hand underneath the food so as to not spill anything on to her clothes. She took a bite, chewed and swallowed.

"So how is it?" Asked Seiya, grabbing one for himself.

"Mmmmm...this is really good," she said, taking another bite. To her great surprise, Seiya stuffed the whole thing in his mouth. After chewing and swallowing, he grinned at her.

"It's no fun eating something that good at a slow pace," he said grabbing another one.

Usagi laughed and shoved the rest of the first one in her mouth.
-Two and a half hours later-

"Here you are sir. You can pay up at the front desk near the exit. We take credit cards, cash and checks. Have a nice day," nodded the Waiter as he handed Seiya a piece of paper showing how much was due.

"Thank you," Seiya said, steering Usagi to the right. He walked up to the desk and showed the little paper to the cashier.

"That'll be $57.39 please," smiled the lady behind the counter. Seiya handed her $60.00 and told her to keep the change. He turned back to Usagi and smiled, holding the door open for her so she can go through.

They walked to the car and Seiya opened the passenger door for Usagi. He then walked around and jumped in, buckling his seat belt.

"Domo arigatou Seiya...for bringing me here," said Usagi, smiling up at him.

"Doitashi mashite...it was my pleasure," he smiled back at her. She blushed and turned to the window, pretending to be looking out of it.

~Why am I blushing?~ she thought as they drove on. 10 minutes later they pulled up into the Tsukino driveway. Seiya turned the car off and faced Usagi.

"You still up to going to a concert? Or would you rather go some other time," he asked.

"When does the concert start?"

"It starts at 6...and ends whenever...but it usually finishes around 10 or so," he replied, running his fingers through his hair.

"So that means we have about 3 hours before it starts right?" Questioned Usagi. She grabbed her purse and got out of the car, shutting the door. Seiya grabbed the keys and jumped out of the convertable, walking Usagi to the front door.

"That's right," he said, standing behind her.

"Well why don't you come in for a while...you can rest until we need to get going," she offered, pushing the door open and walking in. Seiya followed her in and shut the door. Usagi made her way to the couch and plopped down. She motioned to Seiya to sit as well.

"So where's your little brother?" He asked as he sat down next to Usagi.

"My parents let him tag along with them," she smiled. "It's kinda nice with him being gone."

Seiya leaned back and put his hands behind his head, causing his shirt to tighten around his chest/upper body. (A/N: Guess who blushed ^^?)

"Yeah...It's kinda nice to be alone sometimes. No sound...no nothing...just you and your thoughts," he sighed.

*2 minute silence*

"Umm...Seiya...If you don't mind me asking...Why were you over at the airport yesterday?" Asked Usagi, breaking the somewhat comforting silence.

"Well that was a quick change in subject," laughed Seiya.

"Y-you don't have to answer if you don't want to," she stuttered, remembering the time Mamoru had scolded her about being nosy.

"No it's alright. The reason I was there was because I had been on a tour in Korea, and came back yesterday on flight 209."

"But that gate is right across from the one I was at. And there were alot of people and souvenire stands in between...So how did you see...you know?"

"I don't know...I guess I saw long golden hair at some point and I thought that you were..." Seiya looked down, the sadness returning to his eyes.

"You thought I was her..." whispered Usagi.

Seiya nodded. "Her name was Naoka...I don't know why I thought you were her...I mean, I know she's gone but... I suppose it's what people call false hope. She's gone...forever," he whispered, trying to hold back the tears. Usagi slid next to him and put her arm around his shoulders, pulling him into a hug.

~I...What do I say.....There's nothing to say. No words would take the pain away...He must have truly loved her...~ thought Usagi, a single tear rolling down her cheek. ~I envy her...~

Reviews-

Rinoa Leonhart: Thanx alot for your review!!! I know I'm making Mamoru look bad and all but oh well...I still stand by the fact that SEIYA should have gotten Usagi. He was always there for her when Mamoru went off to America. I guess his education was more important than his "soulmate". Oh well I'm not about to argue all over again over here. So AnYwHo! Thanx for your review ^^!

Authoress*Crest: Uuooooooooh I've been wanting to write a Dimando/Usagi fic! Rinoa Leonhart (well last I heard) HATES that couple. I think they'd look kawaii together ^^! Akh you're now one of my favorite reviewers! YAY!

Sakura-jr17: Hey thanx ^^! Yes isn't Seiya just the sweetest ^.^ heheheheee...And about letting you know when the next chapter is up...you kinda have to e-mail me and inform me of your request...Unless you DID e-mail me and I just don't know since I haven't checked that e-mail account yet ^^;

bunnyrose06: Thank you thank you! I'm so happy people are actually liking our story!

babby-c: What do you mean 'more chapter, less talking about mindless stuff'? The only thing that is put rather than the chapter its self is the disclaimer (kinda important, kinda very important), the key (i dont want you guys to be clueless now do i), the summary (So you'd know what the story was about cause i'm sure alot of the people here read a whole bunch of stories at the same time and can't remember what happened in which). Let's see, there's also the author notes at the top and bottom and they're there cause i feel like putting them there. The last thing is my response to each review and the little note at the bottome that says to e-mail us if you want to be informed when the next chapter is up. And that is for you guys' convenience. So I really don't see what's mindless ^^; Oh well. I would love to see more from you. Thanx for your honesty and all.
Yue Moon: If you want us to e-mail you as soon as we update, e-mail us at makoto_hotaru@hotmail.com and include the name of the story you want to be informed of. Ja ^_~
