Mamoru Chiba walked through the street, a pensive smile plastered so it appeared etched into his handsome facial features. It was not getting any better, after that run in with Betty he wasn't sure that the life he had was what he wanted, heck he knew it wasn't what he wanted.

Mamoru was stick of being hunted by the tabloids, by the media. It was annoying and it made him sick to his stomach, he had put up with it for over 3 years now and it wasn't getting better. That was the sole decision that influenced him to walk out of his life.

He crossed a park; children were sitting happily on the swing. "Higher, higher" They sang to their parents. They were pushed higher, higher and far away from their problems, they were children they had no troubles like his. For the minute, Mamoru stood outside the fence peering into the park he wished he were like them, as carefree as them no worries and no hassles in the world, trusting, and naive.

One of the children from the swing nearest to him turned his head around to look at the stranger who was staring at him. His swing stopped as he met Mamoru's longing gaze.

"Hi mister" The child said jumping off the swing so he could run up to the fence and peer into Mamoru's face.

"Hey Kid" Mamoru replied.

"I used to have a daddy like you," The cute, blue-eyed kid said. "He died now I only have my mommy. I love my mommy."

Mamoru looked over and tried to see the kid's mother. She was alone, sitting on a bench away from me. Her son had jumped off the swing and she was subtly keeping an eye on him by sending Mamoru warning glances when she thought he wasn't looking.

"You want me to take you back to your mother?" Asked a very polite Mamoru.

The kid smiled adorably. "No that's alright mister, I can do that"

As the kid said that, a figure appeared hazed by the tall bushy trees, it was the kid's mother. Mamoru had not noticed her walk over. Her back was turned sideways to him as she tried to coax her son into sitting down with her on the bench where she was sitting before.

"Please, honey" The mother said, pulling her son close to her and ruffling his adorable honey coloured hair.

"I wanna talk to this man" Her son replied, not eager to leave.

"No, Jacie. Let me talk to this man first" The mother turned her towards Mamoru; he looked shocked as he registered who it was. It was that waitress he saw the other say. Her long blonde hair flowed freely over her shoulder as she turned to look at him. Her son fidgeted as her hands close in around his shoulders pulling him to her.

She looked at the man who was talking to her son. "Mamoru Chiba, from the other day?" Serena registered in shock.

Mamoru nodded. " And you must be Usagi, the waitress from the other day".
