"R...Raye...Mamoru?" Makoto cried, she thought for a moment 'this is not happening' but it truly was. She stared in disbelief; it had been months since she had seen them last. She never would have guessed that they would have still been together.

Makoto was angry, no she was pissed. How dare they show up to her restaurant, together!

She gave them her death glare and slowly walked away.

"Hey! Where are we supposed to eat at?" Mamoru yelled to her. Makoto mumbled incoherently and turned around.

"Anywhere you please, except for here." She replied calmly not looking at the hurt in Raye's eyes. Raye couldn't take it, she had to say something, anything to one of her oldest friends.

"It wasn't our fault, we didn't mean for it to happen." Raye said tears began forming in her violet eyes.

"But I didn't want to be seen as a monster to you, Minako, Ami, or Usagi." she said in a low barely auditable voice.

"What did you expect us to think of you Raye?" Makoto screamed, tears had already begun to fall. "Usagi never deserved what the two of you did to her. She was the most wonderful person in the world. She trusted the both of you and now look where that got her." Makoto turned her head to stare into Mamoru's eyes. She noticed they held no feelings, no sadness, it was like he was thinking about something else.

"I'm sorry." Raye said simply. Makoto began to chuckle, she could not believe that Raye felt sorry for what she had done.

"No Raye, you are not sorry! Your just sorry for getting caught!" Makoto walked away, she could feel all of the people in the room staring at her, and she didn't care.

"Yeah, Work it girl!" the photographer said moving around to get good pictures of the beautiful blond in front of him. "Yeah that's it that's the money shot" he said flashing the girl a semi-disgusting smile.

The girl beamed, she was breathtaking, blond hair, blue eyes, peach colored skin, and the most gorgeous pearly white teeth.

She couldn't be happier, at the age of 18 she was the most popular model in Tokyo and she could have any man she wanted, although she never wanted them.

When the photo shoot was over the girl sat in the dressing room she looked up at the ceiling, the ceiling was just so relaxing...so interesting.

She began to look through all of the magazines she owned, not really paying attention to the articles. Mostly it was the pictures that fascinated her.

She slammed down the magazine, she had just looked over an article that she couldn't help but read. It was about a new restaurant that had opened in downtown Tokyo, something the young model wouldn't want to read about, but the name of the restaurant made her think about the life she used to know.

'Jupiter's Tears scares away two unknown customers' is what it read. The blond had begun to read it when the picture of a tall brunette who appeared to be the owner caught her eye. The brunette was talking to a tall male and an average size woman. The blond instantly knew it was Mamoru Chiba and Raye Hino.

She balled up her fist. Oh how she wanted to beat the crap out of the girl that chased her best friend away. The next thing the model knew she was running down the hall of the photo studio, she began to push through the people as they screamed "Slow down!"


"Doctor Mizuno please report to the front desk, I repeat Dr. Mizuno please report to the front desk" the intercom shouted.

Ami had just finished checking up on her second patient of the day, when the intercom sounded. She walked to the front desk where a mob of reporters were awaiting her arrival.

Ami sighed, what was this all about? Realizing things suddenly she smiled "reporters" she mumbled.

"Doctor, is it true that your fellow Doctor, Dr. Michaels, was taken away on drug charges?" One of the reporters asked. Ami sighed again; they wanted to talk about Dr. Michaels not her.

"Well...it is somewhat true but I don't think it's wise for me to give you any details." Ami said.

"Then tell us why the doctor and you haven't worked together since last year." another reporter asked "Did he quit or something?"

"I assure you all that we just decided to go our separate ways. And that Dr. Furuhatta is a pretty good replacement. " Ami said before she could get asked anymore questions, excusing herself she ran back to her office. Sighing she sat down at her desk and looked at the mail she had gotten. "Bills...Bills...Junk...Bills...Oh a new magazine for the waiting room." Ami smiled, finally no more outdated magazines. She began to skim through the pages when she came across an article. She froze and ran out of the building to her car yelling to Motoki:

"I'll be back later!"


It was 4:30 in the morning in California, where Usagi was...at the moment trying to sleep.

Usagi yawned, where in the hell was the frickin sandman.

Usagi sighed, she was exhausted and every bone in her body ached. She couldn't figure out why she was hurting so much. Then a thought dawned on her...the baby.

She rubbed her 7 month swollen belly; she had to admit she was huge. Usagi smiled, her baby, and only "Her" baby would be entering the world shortly. Usagi was excited, not only would she soon bring this baby into the world, Motoki would be there to help her through it.

That got her thinking about Motoki, with his short dirty blond hair and emerald eyes, she wondered if he had changed. Although it had only been 6 months, she knew she had changed a lot, but she wondered if he had changed at all.

Come to think about it the only thing that had changed on Usagi was her size. She was no longer as thin as a rail and as short as a troll (think fairy tale). She no longer fit into a size zero and was no longer unable to touch the top of a car. All together Usagi had grown.

But what about her look? She still had the extremely long golden blond hair and the ocean blue eyes she had always possessed. Her skin was darker, after all she was in California, and she sure had changed her style in clothing.

Usagi had made up her mind; the first thing she was going to do tomorrow was to change her hair.


Ami drove like a mad woman, the magazine article said that two unknown customers had entered the 'Jupiter's Tears' restaurant just to get thrown out, and Ami knew automatically the two customers were Mamoru Chiba and Raye Hino.

She was on her way to see the manager of the restaurant to talk to her; she knew Makoto would be surprised to see her after such a long time. But to Ami this was very important news. The picture in the article had shown a black haired girl holding the hand of a tall dark haired male.

Ami had finally arrived at her destination a restaurant named 'Jupiter's tears'

She opened the door to the restaurant which was full of reporters and camera men. Ami scanned the room looking for a particular brunette that she used to know, when she spotted her talking to a reporter, she rudely cut in.

"Makoto we need to talk" she grabbed Makoto's arm and pulled her into what looked like a storage room.

"What's going on, why were they here?" Ami demanded "Nice to see you too Ames" she said rather angry that the blue haired girl didn't even say 'hello' or 'how are you.

Ami nodded "Hello, now what the hell is going on why were they here...together?" she asked. Makoto shook her head "I don't know maybe they were on a date!" She screamed back.

"After all this is a restaurant" she stated matter-of-factly. Ami sighed, they were still together, and one would have thought that they would be suffering over the loss of such a great friend.

"Did they say anything to you?" Ami asked "Raye said that she didn't mean for that to happen and that she was sorry" Makoto replied "And what did you tell her?" Ami asked again.

"That she wasn't sorry for what she did, she was just sorry for getting caught" Makoto shook her head.

"Makoto this cant be good, what if—" Her sentence was cut off by Makoto. "What if she comes back?" suddenly the door to the storage room opened revealing a very pissed blond that looked exactly like her missing friend.

"What the hell is going on?"


Raye sat staring at the water, she was at Juban national park, and she had been there for quite a long time. After her and Mamoru were kicked out of the restaurant Raye ran straight home not even saying goodbye to Mamoru. How could Makoto be so cruel to her, she missed Usagi too! But she thought Usagi was an idiot for leaving, it was really no big deal. At least to her it was no big deal.

She had finally gotten Mamoru and Usagi was jealous, she probably thought after Mamoru having Raye that she would never be able to compare herself to her. She believed Usagi was intimidated by her; she had no idea that it was so much more than just a broken heart.

Raye began to talk to herself.

"Usagi's an idiot! She didn't think she could satisfy him the way that I do, and that's why she left."

"After being with me, she knew Mamoru wouldn't want her. Why have beans when u can have lobster? She didn't deserve him anyway"


Usagi hopped out of bed. Today was the day she would be getting a new look, a new style, and an overall change. She couldn't believe she hadn't changed her style ever since she had arrived in California, what if someone saw her?

Usagi couldn't wait to change her look; it was all that she needed. Now being a famous star she would be seen in pictures and magazines all around the world, and that includes
Tokyo.

Usagi grabbed her purse and was about to head out the door when a hand touched her shoulder. She jumped back startled, turning around to face the person who had touched her. She came face to face with Seiya Kou.

Once again Usagi felt uncomfortable, it was like she was afraid of him. His voice snapped her back to reality.

"Usagi where you off to?" Seiya asked. Usagi went wide eyed "No where in particular." She replied forcing a smile onto her face.

"Um...alright, I guess I'll let you go then." Seiya said turning around and walking away.

Usagi sighed in relief, it was going to be hard living with him, she was already sick of seeing him.
