I love you, Usagi.
I love you, Usagi.
I love you, Usagi.
Usagi's head jerked at the sound of Mamoru's voice. She opened her eyes to see Luna sitting at the edge of her bed. Her mom, dad, and brother stood huddled next to each other beside her bed. Her eight friends were spread out around the room, and someone she didn't know stood right over her. He wore a white coat with little gadgets hanging in his pockets and around his neck
"Where's Mamo-Chan?" Usagi managed to say in a low voice.
"Do you remember anything that happened?" the doctor asked her.
"About what?" Usagi looked at each friendly face in the room, then back at the doctor. "Who are you? Why are you here?" Usagi tired to lift herself out of bed but collapsed.
"Usagi!" Her mom tried to rush to her side, but her husband kept her at bay.
"Don't worry," the doctor told Ikuko. "She's just weak from not eating."
"Not eating!?" Usagi tried to laugh. "That couldn't be possible."
"No, it couldn't. Could it?" The doctor reached for a bowl on Usagi's desk. "Eat this. You'll feel a whole lot better." In the bowl was white rice.
Usagi took it from him and started eating furiously. "I didn't realize how hungry I was," she said between mouth fulls.
The doctor motioned for Usagi's parents to follow him outside the door. Rei followed them while the others stayed behind to chat with Usagi. Shingo went with her.
They walked down the stairs to the living room. Shingo and Rei hid around the corner and listened in to Shingo's parents and the doctor.
"I'm afraid I have some bad news," the doctor began.
"Is she going to be OK, Doctor Gataros?" Kenji, Usagi's father, asked.
"Health wise, she'll be fine, as long as she keeps eating."
"That shouldn't be a problem for her," Rei whispered. Shingo giggled.
"She doesn't see to remember what happened," the doctor continued. "It should be kept that way until she remembers by herself. If someone tells her of the past events she could go into a total relapse. She would be hit so hard with the news, that she would just lose it all together."
"Are you saying she can go insane?" Ikuko asked.
"It's a possibility." Rei and Shingo heard Ikuko crying, and started to make their way up stairs. They had heard enough.
When they had reached Usagi's room, Usagi had all ready finished two bowls of rice, and was on her third.
"What's up?" Makoto asked Rei.
Rei shook her head as if to tell them to be quite. She walked to the edge of Usagi's bed.
"Hey, Odango Atama. I've got to be going. Grandpa might need me at the Temple."
"Oh, OK, Rei-chan." She stuffed more rice in her face then looked up at her again. "Hey, do you think you can get Yuuichirou-San (Chad) to make those really yummy dumplings of his?"
Rei laughed. "I'll make him make them, Odango Atama. Get better, you hear?"
Usagi smiled and continued eating. "Thanks," she said between mouth fulls.
Rei walked to the door and motioned for the others to follow. They seemed to understand, so Rei left the room.
Down in the hallway, she said good bye to the Tsukino's and headed out the front door to wait for the scouts.
First Minako came walking out, then Ami and Makoto. After them was Haruka, Hotaru, Michiru, and Setsuna.
"What's up?" Minako asked.
"The doctor said that Usagi doesn't remember Mamoru dying," Rei told them. "He said that she has to remember by herself. That means we can't tell her a thing no matter what."
"What will happen if someone does tell her?" Makoto asked.
"The doctor she that she could go into a total relapse."
"Meaning?" Makoto said.
"She can go crazy," Ami said. "I've heard of this before. When a person has amnesia, it's wise not to tell the person anything that can trigger their memory. It could only lead to disaster."
"Then we've got to be careful not to say anything," Haruka said. "No matter what. If she asks us, we should just pretend we don't have a clue."
"Yeah," Rei said. "The only thing we can do is wait for Usagi."
"It won't be the same," Makoto said with her head down.
"I know what you mean," Rei said. Tears were forming in the corner of her eyes. "I gotta go. I'll see you guys later." Rei turned around and dashed off.
"Hey, Setsuna," Minako looked at her. "Isn't there anyway you can go back to the past to change things?"
Setsuna shook her head. "I can't do a thing. What happened was meant to be."
"What about the future?" Makoto asked.
"I'm sorry," Setsuna said. "I can't say anything. In doing so, a new guardian will replace me."
"I understand," Minako said.
"I just hope everything turns out right," the quite Hotaru said.
"Don't worry," Michiru said putting an arm around Hotaru's shoulder. "It'll all work out."
"I hope so," Haruka said. "For Usagi's sake."
Always, Odango Atama.
I'll always love you.
"Mamo-Chan?" Usagi whispered in her sleep. "Mamo-chan! No!"
Usagi sprang up in her bed, which sent Luna flying to the floor.
"Usagi!?" Luna yelled. "Are you all right!?"
"Luna?" Usagi said puzzled. "What's going on?"
"You had a nightmare, that's all," Luna said, trying to comfort her. She jumped back on the bed.
Usagi sighed. "I'm fine, now, Luna-chan. Thanks."
"Want to talk about it?" Luna asked.
"Not really, Luna. Maybe later. I just need to get my beauty sleep." Usagi yawned. "And think about all those yummy dumplings Yuuichirou makes."
Luna sweatdropped. "Back to thinking about your stomach, I see."
Usagi turned on her stomach and fell back a sleep. "Goodnight, Luna," she mumbled.
Luna smiled. "Good night, Usagi-chan." Luna curled up at the bottom of the bed and went into her own deep dreams.
Usagi yawned as she walked to school the next day. She had many dreams the night before, and the funny thing was, she couldn't remember a single one.
"Hey, Odango Atama!" Usagi turned round to see Rei running toward her with a small basket in her hand.
"Hi, Rei-chan. Aren't you going to be late for school?"
"Not if I run. Here." Rei handed her the basket. Usagi looked puzzled. "It's the dumplings I had Yuuichirou make for you."
"Really!? Rei-chan! That's so nice!" Usagi undid the knot in the cloth and took a peak inside. "Oh! Yummy!" She took one out and stuffed it in her mouth, then another one. "You want one?"
"No, thanks," Rei said. "I've gotta go or I'll be late for school. See ya!" She ran in the direction of her school.
"Bye, Rei-chan!" Usagi yelled after her.
I wonder why Rei-chan is being to nice all of a sudden? Usagi shrugged. I'll have to go to the Temple after school to thank Yuuichirou for the delicious dumplings!
Usagi stuffed another one in her mouth and tied the knot back up. There was a loud ringing down the street.
"Oh, no. I'm late again!" Usagi whined. She started running. She raced to her classroom where her teacher was taking role.
"Usagi! Your late again!" Sakurada-San yelled.
"Sorry, Sakurada-San," Usagi said.
"How it is that I came to be your high school teacher is beyond me. It's year after year of you being nothing but tardy."
Usagi untied the knot in the basket. "I'll make it up to you, I promise. Want a dumpling? They're really good."
"Well...." she looked at the class then back at Usagi's delicate face. "OK." She took a dumpling out of the basket and ate it. Usagi sat down at her desk.
"That was really good, Usagi-chan," Sakurada-San said. "Thank you. I guess I'll let you off for today, all right?"
Usagi nodded and smiled. Sakurada-San turned to her desk. Under her breath she mumbled, "I'm still going to have a talk with the principal about her in my class." She sighed and began the day's lesson.
"Uhhh. I think I ate too many dumplings," Usagi complained.
"I could have told you that, Usagi-chan," Makoto said.
"Don't start." Usagi groaned.
"There were a lot of dumplings in there, Odango Atama," Rei said. "I can't believe you ate them all."
"I didn't eat them all. You guys each had one, and so did Sakurada-San."
"That's still over ni (two) dozen dumplings." Rei crossed her arms and turned her back on Usagi. "Your such a pig."
"Hey! It's not my fault they were so good."
"You Baka! They should have last at least two days. And you somehow managed to eat them all within 6 hours."
"Could you keep it down, please," Ami said. "I'm trying to study for Sakurada-San's test tomorrow."
"Your studding all ready?" Minako asked.
"Yes. And you should be, too."
"I don't know how you do it, Ami-chan," Makoto said. "I have to cook something before I can even began thinking about studding."
"Yeah, same for me," Minako said. "Well, except for that cooking part. How can you just sit there and study while all this racket is going on?"
"I don't know. I just can."
"Strange," Usagi said. "I can never study."
They scouts sweatdropped. "I wonder why," Minako said.
"Usagi can study if she really wants to," Luna said walking up. Artemus was walking a long side her.
"Yeah," Artemus said. "She just needs to be positive."
"I'm always positive."
"What about that time when we went off to fight Queen Beryl?" Rei said. "You didn't think we could do it."
"That was a long time ago," Usagi said.
"Or how about the time you didn't think we would ever get Chibi Usa back from the Nega Moon?" Minako said.
"Or the time....." Makoto began.
"OK, OK. I get the point." Usagi stood up on the temple stairs. She put her hand to her face to keep the sun from getting in her eyes. "Where are Haruka-san, Michiru-san, and Hotaru-chan?"
Just then, they heard the sound of a motorcycle. They heard it slow down, then shut off.
"There's your answer," Rei said.
"Sorry we're late," Haruka said, as she, Michiru, and Hotaru walked up the steps to the temple.
"We ran into Setsuna-san on the way," Michiru said. "She said she'd join us later."
"How did you three manage to ride on Haruka-san's motorcycle?" Usagi asked.
"I added a side car to it," Haruka said. "It's a great way to travel. You should try it sometime."
"I've heard those things are dangerous," Ami said.
"Only if your not careful," Haruka told her.
"Mamo-chan has a motorcycle. He just won't let me ride with him," Usagi pouted.
"You could always ride with me," Haruka said.
"What if Mamo-chan found out!?" Usagi squealed.
"I don't see any problem with riding with me. I'd protect you from any danger. It's my job."
"Huummm...." Usagi thought about it. "OK! This is going to be so cool!"
"Can we get to scout business now?" Luna said unpatiently.
"Luna-chan," Usagi said annoyes. "We came here today to have fun, not to listen to another one of your lectures."
"Your such a Odango Atama, Usagi-chan," Luna said. "As soon as I finish what I have to say, you can leave."
"Fine." Usagi plopped down on the steps and looked out into the street.
Luna sighed. "I'm sure more evil is yet to come, but for now, the city is peaceful."
"We're not sure when or if another evil will show up," Artemus said. "So be on the lookout."
"Do you want is to keep our henshin sticks on us?" Ami asked.
"For now," Luna replied. "We have no idea what will happen next."
"We've also seen that some of you have been a bit edgy lately," Artemus said. The scouts looked nervously at him. He continued. "Me and Luna also wonder when the ecological disaster will occur. King Eydimion never did tell us when it was going to happen."
"When the time does happen," Luna said, "you all need to try to be together. Once Neo-Queen Serenity wakes the world, she'll need you there to protect her."
"Don't worry, Luna," Minako said. "Everything is under control."
"I hope so." Luna looked at Usagi who seemed to be in a trance. "Usagi-chan?"
"Huh?" She sounded as if she wasn't paying attention.
Luna and Artemus sweatdropped. "Then that's it," Luna said.
"Great!" Usagi jumped up. "'Cause I fell like a triple fudge sundae. What do you say, guys?"
"You bet," Minako said. "I got the big case of the munches."
"Hey, Usagi-chan," Haruka said to her. "Want to go on that ride now?"
"Sure!" Usagi got excited. "I'll meet you guys there."
The inner senshi nodded, and with Hotaru, they left.
Haruka and Usagi got on the bike, while Michiru got in the side car. "Now don't worry," Haruka said to Usagi.
"Who's worried?" Usagi said. "I'm not."
Haruka gave them each a helmet each they strapped on. Haruka put on her own helmet and started the bike. It roared like a lion ready to attack. Usagi held her arms around Haruka's waist, as they rode to the café.
"That was great!" Usagi cried when they reached their destination. Usagi jumped off the bike and took her helmet off. "I'm going to have to do that more often with Mamo-chan!"
Haruka looked uneasy, but didn't say anything.
"Lets get inside," Michiru said. "We need to get a table big enough for all of us."
Usagi nodded. They went in.
The other scouts arrived a short twenty minutes later. Usagi had already ordered a rootbeer float. Haruka and Michiru each had a coke.
"Well?" Makoto asked. "How was it?" She sat down next to Usagi.
Usagi smiled and looked up at her. "It was so cool! The wind blowing in my face, the speed we were passing everyone!"
Minako giggled and sat down next to Michiru. "It is great isn't it?"
Usagi looked at her confused. "You've ridden on a motorcycle before?"
Minako nodded. "A long time ago as Sailor V."
"Wow! You are so lucky!" Usagi threw her hand up in the air. "Waiter! An extra monster sized sundae!" Usagi giggled. "Party time!"
Usagi groaned. "I think I ate too much." She clutched her stomach as she made her way up the stairs that night. "Luna-chan. Remind never to eat again."
Luna walked up the stairs behind her. "Like that would ever happen," she mumbled.
Usagi didn't seem to hear her, or just didn't want to hear her. She made it the rest of the way up the stairs and into her room. She fell face first onto the bed. "Wake me up and your dead." Usagi again and shut her eyes for a long nap.
Usagi smiled as she walked down the isle. All her friends and family were there to see her. They were outside under the light of a full moon. All the chairs and railings were white, with red roses hanging down in vines. Everyone stood up when they saw her.
She looked down at herself and saw that she was wearing a beautiful white wedding gown. It was a cross between her princess dress and her Neo-Queen Serenity dress. It was a pure white, hanging lose around her body. Two rows of gold beads were lined just below her chest. The yellow circles circled around the top of her. On her neck was a white choker, and on her back, off-white pink wings. For some reason, there was a mirror off to the side. She could see that the crescent moon was in place on her forehead. She had her berets in her hair.
She smiled at herself and looked forward. Mamoru, no, Prince Endymion, stood with his hand out to her. Tiny tear dropps appeared on her face. They sparkled in the moonlight. She searched his face seeing love, but also sadness.
"Don't cry my princess," he said to her. He looked to his left.
Usagi followed his gaze. Standing aways away, was a familiar figure. Usagi gasped. Queen Serenity stood smiling sadly at her daughter. She turned her head away. Her own crescent moon shinned as she did so. Usagi seemed blinded by the light for a few seconds. When she had recovered, Queen Serenity was gone. She looked back at Prince Endymion. She took a few more steps as she reached him. He took her hand and guided her the rest of the way.
She just happened to glance to her left. There was the mirror. This time she saw a change in her. She was no longer Usagi, Sailor Moon, or Princess Serenity. No. She was more than that. She was about to become Queen Serenity. The moon on her forehead was no longer alone. Along the side of it were three circles, sitting in the position that her berets were.
"Mamo-chan?" She turned to look at him, but he wasn't there. "Mamo-chan! Where are you?"
She turned around to look for him, only to see that she was standing in the middle of no where. Her friends, family, had all disappeared. Only she remained in the light of the moon. Her dress, she noticed, was gone. She wore only her school uniform.
The tears fell freely down he stained cheeks. She looked up at the moon, hoping to get some answers, but there was none. She was alone now. And she couldn't do anything about it.
I love you, Usagi.
I love you, Usagi.
Usagi's head jerked at the sound of Mamoru's voice. She opened her eyes to see Luna sitting at the edge of her bed. Her mom, dad, and brother stood huddled next to each other beside her bed. Her eight friends were spread out around the room, and someone she didn't know stood right over her. He wore a white coat with little gadgets hanging in his pockets and around his neck

"No, it couldn't. Could it?" The doctor reached for a bowl on Usagi's desk. "Eat this. You'll feel a whole lot better." In the bowl was white rice.

Setsuna shook her head. "I can't do a thing. What happened was meant to be."
"What about the future?" Makoto asked.
"I'm sorry," Setsuna said. "I can't say anything. In doing so, a new guardian will replace me."
"I understand," Minako said.
"I just hope everything turns out right," the quite Hotaru said.
"Don't worry," Michiru said putting an arm around Hotaru's shoulder. "It'll all work out."
"I hope so," Haruka said. "For Usagi's sake."
Always, Odango Atama.
I'll always love you.
"Mamo-Chan?" Usagi whispered in her sleep. "Mamo-chan! No!"
Usagi sprang up in her bed, which sent Luna flying to the floor.
"Usagi!?" Luna yelled. "Are you all right!?"
"Luna?" Usagi said puzzled. "What's going on?"
"You had a nightmare, that's all," Luna said, trying to comfort her. She jumped back on the bed.
Usagi sighed. "I'm fine, now, Luna-chan. Thanks."
"Want to talk about it?" Luna asked.
"Not really, Luna. Maybe later. I just need to get my beauty sleep." Usagi yawned. "And think about all those yummy dumplings Yuuichirou makes."
Luna sweatdropped. "Back to thinking about your stomach, I see."
Usagi turned on her stomach and fell back a sleep. "Goodnight, Luna," she mumbled.
Luna smiled. "Good night, Usagi-chan." Luna curled up at the bottom of the bed and went into her own deep dreams.

"That was great!" Usagi cried when they reached their destination. Usagi jumped off the bike and took her helmet off. "I'm going to have to do that more often with Mamo-chan!"
Haruka looked uneasy, but didn't say anything.
"Lets get inside," Michiru said. "We need to get a table big enough for all of us."
Usagi nodded. They went in.
The other scouts arrived a short twenty minutes later. Usagi had already ordered a rootbeer float. Haruka and Michiru each had a coke.
"Well?" Makoto asked. "How was it?" She sat down next to Usagi.
Usagi smiled and looked up at her. "It was so cool! The wind blowing in my face, the speed we were passing everyone!"
Minako giggled and sat down next to Michiru. "It is great isn't it?"
Usagi looked at her confused. "You've ridden on a motorcycle before?"
Minako nodded. "A long time ago as Sailor V."
"Wow! You are so lucky!" Usagi threw her hand up in the air. "Waiter! An extra monster sized sundae!" Usagi giggled. "Party time!"
Usagi groaned. "I think I ate too much." She clutched her stomach as she made her way up the stairs that night. "Luna-chan. Remind never to eat again."
Luna walked up the stairs behind her. "Like that would ever happen," she mumbled.
Usagi didn't seem to hear her, or just didn't want to hear her. She made it the rest of the way up the stairs and into her room. She fell face first onto the bed. "Wake me up and your dead." Usagi again and shut her eyes for a long nap.
Usagi smiled as she walked down the isle. All her friends and family were there to see her. They were outside under the light of a full moon. All the chairs and railings were white, with red roses hanging down in vines. Everyone stood up when they saw her.
She looked down at herself and saw that she was wearing a beautiful white wedding gown. It was a cross between her princess dress and her Neo-Queen Serenity dress. It was a pure white, hanging lose around her body. Two rows of gold beads were lined just below her chest. The yellow circles circled around the top of her. On her neck was a white choker, and on her back, off-white pink wings. For some reason, there was a mirror off to the side. She could see that the crescent moon was in place on her forehead. She had her berets in her hair.
She smiled at herself and looked forward. Mamoru, no, Prince Endymion, stood with his hand out to her. Tiny tear dropps appeared on her face. They sparkled in the moonlight. She searched his face seeing love, but also sadness.
"Don't cry my princess," he said to her. He looked to his left.
Usagi followed his gaze. Standing aways away, was a familiar figure. Usagi gasped. Queen Serenity stood smiling sadly at her daughter. She turned her head away. Her own crescent moon shinned as she did so. Usagi seemed blinded by the light for a few seconds. When she had recovered, Queen Serenity was gone. She looked back at Prince Endymion. She took a few more steps as she reached him. He took her hand and guided her the rest of the way.
She just happened to glance to her left. There was the mirror. This time she saw a change in her. She was no longer Usagi, Sailor Moon, or Princess Serenity. No. She was more than that. She was about to become Queen Serenity. The moon on her forehead was no longer alone. Along the side of it were three circles, sitting in the position that her berets were.
"Mamo-chan?" She turned to look at him, but he wasn't there. "Mamo-chan! Where are you?"
She turned around to look for him, only to see that she was standing in the middle of no where. Her friends, family, had all disappeared. Only she remained in the light of the moon. Her dress, she noticed, was gone. She wore only her school uniform.
The tears fell freely down he stained cheeks. She looked up at the moon, hoping to get some answers, but there was none. She was alone now. And she couldn't do anything about it.
