Chapter Two Reunions

"Romeo! Oh Romeo! Where for art thou Romeo?" Usagi cried loudly waving her hands frantically in front of her trying to do an elegant gesture. All the senshi who were participating in Usagi and Rei's play were all assembled in the Tsukino backyard rehearsing. They all watched Usagi as she made a fool of herself awkwardly reciting her lines in the usual Usagi silly kind of way.

"No! Usagi-chan that's all wrong!" Rei screamed at her friend. She could be a very picky person. "I cannot believe we let you play the lead!" Rei snorted "You playing Juliet! Ha! I bet you could have barely handled Little Red Riding hood! " She said haughtily.

Although Usagi had become immue to Rei's usual negative comments about her, in her especially sensitive mood lately, Rei's harsh words hurt Usagi's feelings. "Rei-chan how can you be so mean..."Usagi whimpered with tears forming in her eyes. "Your so horrible to me!" Usagi wailed.

"Oh Usagi! Grow up!" Rei yelled as Usagi stuck her tounge out at Rei and another one of Usagi and Rei's famous tongue fights began.

"Guys.Why do you always have to fight?" Makoto, draped in a pathetic looking Mercutio outfit, yelled out annoyed. Her costume looked like a gray germ infested long piece of cloth drapped around her like a poorly put on toga.

Suddenly Haruka angrily burst out of Usagi's house. "Sweet goddes of the moon!" She swore "These costumes! Where did you get them, the dump?" she yelled. Her Paris costume was identical to Makoto's...

"Hey! I made those!" Makoto yelled back at her. She glared angrily at the older girl.

"Everyone please!" said practical Ami "Stop the fighting!"

"Tell that to Rei! She is the one who started it! " Usagi wailed and continued crying. She fell to the ground and started pounding the grass like a toddler. Ami sighed.

Setsuna stared at the wailing girl, the girl who was supposed to be the same person as the elegant Princess Serenity and heroic Sailor Moon. Setsuna laughed and then said in her deep quiet voice, "Usagi-chan, you shouldn't be wailing like that. What if Mamoru comes by and sees you. You don't want the prince to think badly of you."

"But Setsuna!" Usagi whined. "Did you her what that-that Rei said to me? She's so mean!" She sniffed.

"Makoto, no offense but these costumes are disgusting!" exclaimed Haruka. She fingered the so called "costume" and immediately let go. The material of the costume felt coarse and scratchy. The color of her costume was a revolting shade between gray and puke green, not to mention it smelled like something of the back of a construction worker after a hard day in the sun.

"Disgusting!? No offense!?! Well, let's see you try to make Romeo and Juliet costumes with only a few bucks for material!" Makoto glared at Rei quickly before returning to her steady glare at Haruka.

"Listen, Makoto." Rei said coolly. "This is supposed to be a fund-raiser. We can't use all our money just to buy costumes. If we spent all our money on that what would we use to fix the roof?" Rei asked. She then turned to look at Usagi who was still on the ground wailing and pounding like crazy and screamed, "Will someone please tell that crybaby to shut up?"

Usagi just wailed louder as she heard that comment.

"Ondanga atama are you trying to make us all go deaf?" asked a cool savvy voice coming from behind Usagi. Usagi turned around. Mamoru stood behind her in a cool black leather jacket with shades on.

"Mamo-chan! I-I. Mamo-chan, these guys are being so mean to me! Especially Rei-chan! She keeps yelling at me!" Usagi wailed. "Do this, do that! How can a star like me be expected to work under these conditions?" Usagi stood up and leapt into Mamoru's arms and began crying again.

"A star like you?" Rei scoffed and began laughing hysterically. "Don't make me laugh! The only reason you got the lead is because you were begging on her knees for it. You really have no talent whatsoever in acting." Rei said snobbishly flicking her hair over her shoulder.

A familiar voice replied back.. "Oh, I don't know. I think she is pretty good." It came suddenly and everyone hushed in surprise.

"Who said that?" Rei said looking around at her friends, but everyone stared back at her puzzled as well.

"As I remember. Usgai did make a pretty good Witch in Snow White." Everyone gasped as a familiar figure finally stepped out from the shadows.

************************************

Usagi couldn't believe her eyes as she saw Mina. This was a dream wasn't it? Minako? No way. Mina stood there in a fashionable looking brown leather jacket, black boots up to her knees, black leggings, and shades over her eyes that looked very much like Mamoru's own pair. "Don't I get a hug or something? I have been gone for months, I though someone would miss me."

Usagi screamed. "Minako? Mina-chan? Is it you? Really? I am dreaming aren't I? I am hallucinating." Usagi started mumbling

"No Usagi-chan it's me! Mina said smiling. She pulled of her sunglasses and smiled at her friends.

"It is her!" Makoto exclaimed. The Rei, Ami, Usagi and Makoto all screamed in delight as they rampaged to there blond-haired, blue-eyed best friend. Mamoru, Setsuna, Haruka, and Michiru layed back watching them with amusement. "Those girls they're so cute." Michiru said to Haruka.

"They're cute all right. Too bad they have no sewing talent." grumbled Haruka fingering her shirt. She was still a little upset about her costume.

"Mina-chan what are you doing here?" asked Ami as the big five person group hug ended.

" Why aren't you in England, Minako?" Rei questioned.

Minako was drowned with questions as she answered happily "I had to come back for a visit." Mina said happily "Especially after Usagi sent me those twenty letters about your play. There's no way I could miss that!"

"Oh. You got those too?" asked Mamoru.

"Mina!" yelled Artemis as he and Luna suddenly came running out of the Tsukino house. Artemis ran up to his old partner Mina and jumped onto her shoulder. "Mina! Long time no see, huh?"

"Artemis! It's good to see you, pal!" Mina kissed her furry little friend on the small cresent shaped bald spot on his white forehead. Luna watched uncomfortably from the sidelines

"Mina you better let go of Artemis before Luna gets all jealous!" Makoto hooted as Luna blushed a scarlet pink.

Artemis leaped down from Mina's shoulder back to his girlfriend and gave her a kitty kiss on the cheek. "Artemis! Your embarrassing me!" Luna said.

"I heard that you two are a serious item now" Mina winked at Luna making her blush an even deeper shade of pink. Mamoru walked up to Usagi and wrapped his arms around her, whispering in her ear "This is just what you wanted isn't it my ondango atama? All of us are together again."

Usagi smiled up at him. True. She did feel much better.

"Hey you almost forgot about me!" yelled a cute girlie voice. In a flash Usagi and Mamoru were sprawled across the ground with a little pink haired girl on top of them. "Your not all togethor until *I'm* here!"

"Chibi-Usa!" Usagi cried as she hugged her future daughter. Chibi-Usa struggled out of her mother's grasp embarrassed.

"Usagi can you get of me?" Usagi reluntantly let go. Chibi-Usa ran to her father and hugged him then ran to Setsuna.

"What are you doing here honey?" Setsuna asked as she leaned down to hug her little friend.

"Luna-P!" Chibi-Usa hugged her first friend tightly. "I got twenty letters from Usagi too!" She said. And it was really annoying to have to read them all two especially since they said the same thing.

"Chibi-Usa!" Mamoru scolded his daughter as a hurt expression flashed across Usagi's face.

"I'm just kidding mommy. I read them all. Over and over agian! I missed you mom!" Chibi-Usa ran once more to her mother for another hug.

"Gee Princess you sure have been writing a lot of letters." said a tiny voice. Suddenly everyone noticed a tiny gray kitten on Mamoru's head.

"Diana!" yelled the kitten's father also jumping on to Mamo-chan's black- haired head.

The weight of Artemis on his head made the prince quite uncomfortable. "Uh, guys could you get of me? Please?" he asked trying to look up at them which was of course physically impossible since they were on top of his head.

"Oops. Gomen, Mamoru!" said Artemis as he jumped Mamoru's head holding on to his future daughter Diana in his mouth(It's what cats do.).
