Bearmoon: Yes, it is another Usagi and Mamoru fanfic; although it's mostly Usagi you'll see. I know, I know, but you can never have enough!
Mars: Get back to telling about the story!
Bearmoon: All right! This takes place after the battle and before the wedding. I usually don't like writing fanfics that take place during the series; usually my fics consist of the past or future. I just don't like writing about stuff Naoko-sama already took care of, but I have read some good ones, so it's not like I'm dissing those kinds of fics at all. It's just that it's not my cup of tea.
Mars: Explain the names!
Bearmoon: The names. Okay, to be honest, I like the comic book names and the Japanese names, so I'm using the Japanese names. They sound so...pretty. Also, it's important because in the Japanese version of the anime Mamoru (Darien) calls Usagi (Serena) Usako. I could be wrong but I think he just uses it when he's talking to her or calling her name. Sometimes he talks to the other scouts about her using Usagi or Usako. So, in this fic he'll be calling her Usako, but I'll be referring to her as Usagi. Also, so you can tell the scouts from who is who, Mars will tell you.
Mars: *talking to Bearmoon* Geez, if you could take any longer...*turns to audience* Okay! Here we go! Sailor Mars/Raye= Rei Hino Sailor Mercury/Amy= Ami Mizuno Sailor Jupiter/Lita= Makoto Kino Sailor Venus/Mina= Minako Aino Sailor Uranus/Amara= Haruka Tenoh Sailor Neptune/Michelle= Michiru Kaioh Sailor Pluto/Trista= Setsuna Meioh Sailor Saturn/Hotaru= Hotaru Tomoe
Bearmoon: Thanks Mars! Okay this chapter is short. My opening chapters usually are, just ask Gia. Now onto chapter one: The Airport!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi and Mamoru walked through the airport towards the gate. Usagi looked up at her fated lover. A smile grew on her face as she thought about how they had been through so much, and were still together.
"Something wrong Usako?" Mamoru asked noting Usagi slowing down.
She shook her head and looked down at her moving feet, "No. I...I was just wondering why you have to go back. I mean, you came here and after all that...I don't want you to go back." She stopped as she finished her sentence.
Mamoru smiled as he put his hands on her shoulders. She looked up into his deep blue eyes. She knew he didn't want to leave her again, she felt guilty for being selfish. He loved her so much.
Don't worry Usako. I'll be back before you know it. I promise." She forced a smile. She knew that he too could simply look into her eyes and knew what she was thinking and knew she still wasn't satisfied. He held Usagi's hand then led her to the gate.
They sat down in two seats, reminiscing about the past, their dreams, and the future. It was always so close and yet seemed millions of years away. His seat number was called. Mamoru stood up and stretched. He grabbed his duffle bag then started walking towards the other people boarding- when he felt something tug on his jacket.
"Mamo-chan..." There was Usagi, grabbing his jacket and pouting at him. "You're not gonna kiss me goodbye?"
Mamoru swept her into his embrace, kissing her so she wouldn't forget his kisses until he returned, oblivious to the people around him but Usagi. "Don't worry Usako, when I return, you'll be the first to know. Just be prepared to be surprised." He told her, tapping her nose then her ring on her ring finger on her left hand.
"You won't forget? Promise?" She begged him. Her crystal blue eyes were getting shiny.
Mamoru chuckled and wiped away a tear rolling down her cheek. He knew she wasn't crying because she was sad, but because, he had made her happier by saying what he said to comfort her, "I promise Usako." He turned the palm of her hand upward and kissed it.
Usagi threw her arms around him, "Oh Mamo-chan!"
Mamoru finally got on the plane, and Usagi watched it take off. 'It's a promise Mamo-chan. I'll be waiting when you return again.' She promised herself.

Bearmoon: A few quick notes before I finish up, the kiss on the palm thing, it means promise in Japanese. It's a really sweet notion that I've seen my favorite authors use a lot. I wanted to try it once to see how it would work. Quite nicely I think. Okay, the other note...
Mars: *walks into the room, flaming* what do you mean there's no transforming, no bad guys?
Bearmoon: It's a really short fic. There will probably be only three or four chapters total. It's a short romance fic, not an action/adventure fic. This fic was inspired by a spur of the moment. I was daydreaming in the car one time and I came up with this way romantic scene for Mamoru and Usagi. It's not the one you just read. It's the last chapter. So please...
Mars: Cut to the chase. REVIEW! *Turns to Bearmoon, flaming again." So what am I supposed to do?
Bearmoon: *smiles weakly* ...
