The airport

Motoki waited patiently for Rita to walk through the terminal; inside he wondered why he had shown up. He was no longer in love with her and didn't wanted to be anywhere near the woman, but for some unknown reason he had shown up anyway.

"God what am I doing here? Is it possible I still love Rita?" his mind laughed at him. He combed his fingers through his blonde hair and sighed.

Suddenly his cell phone rang...

Motoki moved to answer it, wondering who it could have been.

"Hello?" Motoki spoke into the phone. The unknown caller laughed. "Hi big bro!"

Motoki chuckled in high amusement. It wasn't everyday he got a call from his hyperactive little sister.

"Hey Lizzy, what's up?" The giggly teen sounded more excited then usual and Motoki wondered exactly why.

"What's up, uh…the sky, the roof, the..." Motoki sighed and deadpanned.

"I get that...I mean what do you need?" The girls demeanor suddenly changed. The gril screeched into the phone causing Motoki cringe.

"I just wanted to tell you how angry I am at you for not telling me that you and Rita broke up! Goodness I would have thought I would be the first to know!" Motoki raised and amused eyebrow. Now where would she get an idea like that?

"What do you mean, Rita and I haven't broke up." Motoki heard and audible gasp on the other side of the line.

"What do you mean? I just saw her on the plane back to Tokyo and she was making plans to stay with a man she barely met!" Motoki's eyes grew large as he scratched the back of his head.

"oh..." It wasn't a sad 'oh', nor a disappointed one. He felt relieved, awkwardly relieved.

"I'm sorry Motoki, I didn't mean to..."

"Don't be, I wasn't planning on staying with her much longer anyways."

"eh... bro, sorry but I'm completely lost. Why would you want to brake up with Rita? I thought you were madly in love with her." Motoki had thought so too. Many things had changed he guessed. Smiling to himself he answered her.

"I thought I was too, but then, I can't explain it…I just realized there's someone that makes me feel ten times better than she ever did." Lizzy's once high pitched laugh returned as she giggled in Motoki's ear.

"Wow Motoki that's deep." He laughed and shrugged carelessly.

"I thought it was too." Lizzy laughed and grinned.

"I never did like her, so good riddance!" Her metrical laugh flowed through Motoki's ears. With a heavy sigh Motoki shook his head.

"Well since I'm here I guess I'll pick you up from your flight…just do one thing for me." Lizzy laughed high and silver.

"And what would that be?"

"If you see her again, promise me you won't hurt her." Suddenly the line went dead.

Shaking his head Motoki hung up his phone and smiled. His sister was such a goof ball. Once again his cell phone rang. Plucking it from his lap he expected to once again hear the joyful voice of his baby sister. Motoki, refraining from saying anything sarcastic, answered the phone.

"Hi Hun!" He suddenly wished he hadn't.

"Rita." He answered monotonously. She seemed unfazed and giggled merrily.

"I was just hoping you haven't left the house yet, I found an old friends and they offered to give me a lift home." It was pathetic. A grown woman lying to her boyfriend, to Motoki, it didn't make sense.

"Don't bother, I don't want to see you there." The awkward silence that followed was music to his ears. The once merry brunette on the other side of the line gasped.

"What?" she asked stupidly. He groaned.

"I don't want to listen to your lies any more Rita. We're through, get your stuff out and leave." Rita laughed incredulously.

"You're breaking up with me over the phone?" with a simple yes Motoki listened and he was, for the second time that day, hung up on.


Rita

Rita was appalled, she hung up her phone as she stepped into the terminal. She stomped away angrily and headed over to her ride. Seemingly un-noticed Rita was caught off guard when a fist connected with her jaw.

"That's for cheating on my brother!" Lizzy screamed as Rita got back up. Her face, which was already starting to swell, had the younger woman's knuckle marks across her cheek.
"Don't ever show your face near me and my bro again is that clear?" Lizzy once again grabbed her hair to make Rita look at her.

"Yes ma'am!" Rita said through the horrible pain.

The man that Rita had been seen with had disappeared and the security came to separate Rita and Lizzy although it was clear to see Rita had lost. The younger girl smiled to herself. Hopefully Motoki wouldn't find out about it.


With Mamoru

Mamoru threw an awkward punch at his living room wall. Usagi had left him. Raye had left him. He clenched his teeth as his other fist connected with the wall.

Someone banged on the door, he ignored it knowing it was a pissed off neighbor. He breathed in deeply, only to smell something strange floating through the air. Twisting around in the air Mamoru jumped.

"Chibi-Usa!" he screamed. Where had she come from. He looked to the door, only to see it shut. His eyes once again fell onto the little girl in front of him.

"How dare you hurt mum like this!" she said positioning her hand to slap his cheek.

"How do you know this, I thought you were in the future with your parents!" he pointed an accusing finger at her.

"Put that finger away, I have every right to be here when you're destroying the future I live in!" she yelled getting louder with every word.

"Chibi-Usa what do you mean?" he asked a hint of worry in his voice.

"Because what he has done has not only changed the present it has also changed the future!"

"My dad was caught in princess Mar's chambers and I highly doubt they were playing leapfrog!" she said looking at Mamoru's bright red scrunched up face.

"Who caught them?" he asked, Chibi-Usa crossed her arms over her chest.

"I did!" they both turned to the voice coming from the front door. Mamoru hadn't even heard it open.

"Serenity…" he muttered in amazement of Usagi's future self.

"What have you done?" he stared down at his feet.

"Look what you have caused." by the end of her little speech Mamoru stared at the woman with tears in her eyes.

"You'll never be able to fix this, she won't take you back, I know because I refuse to take Endymion back!" she cried, wrapping her arms around her pink haired daughter. Mamoru was stunned.

"Then what about the universe? What about our love?" he asked, taking a hesitant step forward.

"It no longer exists." She said sadly, exiting the room, Chibi-Usa staying behind.

"Aren't you going to go with her?" Chibi-Usa frowned

"Why...I'm not going to exist anymore anyway, might as well spend the rest of my being with my best friends." She said tears escaping her eyes.


At Usagi's new home

As soon as Usagi got home she ran towards the bathroom where she began to throw up. Things were constant like that. Eat, throw up, sing, throw up, sleep, throw up. It was becoming a marathon.

Usagi began to rub her still flat belly, to think her child was in there right now. She smiled to herself. She was suddenly startled by the sound of her telephone. Reaching over to her nightstand she quickly picked it up.

"Hello?" she asked as she searched her bathroom for her toothbrush, she desperately needed to get rid of her vomit breath. The caller on the other side of the line grinned.

"Hi." She smiled, recognizing the voice immediately.

"Motoki what are you calling me for...is there something wrong?" she asked finding her toothbrush under her towel. He smiled to himself.

"No, I was just at the crown and it was so gloomy without you there." She smiled happily, he had been thinking about her.

"Well, I like the fact that I meant so much to the place." Motoki didn't know what to say next. He only laughed..

"What I'm going to do without you around here, it's going to be tough." He said hesitantly. Usagi felt tears come to the corner of her eyes.

"You'll be fine, I'm still going to be there for you although you can't see me." He nodded into the phone as if she could see. They weren't able to talk for much longer. They bid each other good bye and hung up.

Motoki stared sadly at the phone. "How will I make it without you around?"
