Oh and I don't own sailor moon so nobody sue me please :p ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mamoru was laying spread eagle in his bed. What a night it had been. His Usako was going to marry him! I've never been happier! He thought to himself. He smiled as he remembered the look on her face when he took out the box. Her eyes shined with tears and wonder. He was just glad that she liked the ring and that she said yes.
He laughed into the empty room. He wanted to tell the whole world how happy he was, but Usagi asked him if they could wait until her family got back from their vacation before telling everyone.
Mamoru sat upright suddenly. What would her father say? He had always been very protective of his only daughter and wouldn't like the idea of giving her away to be a wife. He smiled again, I'm sure Usako will take care of him, he thought and continued out loud, "and if she can't do it then Usagi's mother will keep him at bay." He lay back down and took a deep breath, wondering what Usagi was doing at this moment.
Usagi was brushing her hair in front of her armoire mirror, humming the tune that had been playing when Mamoru had danced with her tonight. She wondered what her Mamo-chan was thinking about right now. Her ring reflected in the mirror and she put down her brush to look at the beautiful piece of jewelry that was on her finger.
It was a stunning thing really, one large diamond and two smaller ones, with two small rubies in between, giving the ring the look of a crescent moon. The band was small and delicate and she knew that Mamoru had taken great care in choosing the ring. He knew her so well, better than she thought anyone could have ever known her. It was as if he could read her mind. She laughed. If Mamo-chan was able to read her thoughts she wouldn't be sitting in her room brushing her hair. Instead she would be doing something totally different with her hands. She blushed at the thought of her hands over Mamoru's body, she was after all a virgin and while she thought of these things often she still lacked the experience. She sighed, she had had many opportunities to be alone with Mamoru for the night, but every time he insisted that they not do anything. He was so chivalric. It pissed her off. But she loved him for it.
She got up and walked over to her bed. Pulling down the sheets she crawled under the covers and stared out her window at the beautiful crescent moon that had brought so much magic to her night. She sighed again and fell into a slumber full of dreams of her wedding and her Mamo-chan.
"Beep, Beep, Beep"
Usagi groaned and turned to hit her alarm clock. It was way too early to get up! She moaned and pulled the blanket over her head to hide the warm sunlight from her drowsy eyes. She knew she had to get up but her legs didn't want to move. Her bed was so warm and cozy and the blankets hugged her body closely.
Her eyes started to slowly go down again as she fell into a light slumber.
RING! RING! RING
"WAHHHHHHHH!!!! WHY DOESN'T ANYONE LET ME SLEEP IN!" Usagi yelled into the empty room as she rolled out of bed and dragged herself to the phone. "Moshi Moshi? Tsukino residence." She answered.
"Mornin' Love, how's my queen doing today?" she heard Mamo-chan's husky voice, but she wasn't going to forgive him for making her get out of bed that easily!
"Mamoru Chiba! Why are you calling me so early in the morning! I was very comfy in my bed and I was having good dreams!" She listened to see what he would say but all she heard was silence. A muffled noise came through the receiver. Was he laughing at her! Her face grew red and she screamed: "MAMORU WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING AT ME?!" Tears began to swell and she began to sob loud enough for her dream fiancée to hear.
Soon his panic ridden voice soothed her over the phone. "Oh Usako don't cry!" he cooed gently, "I wasn't laughing at you! I just got a picture of how cute you would look all snug in your blankets!"
"Oh good! So when are you gonna pick me up Mamo-chan?" Usagi asked in her usual cheery voice. She knew he was probably staring at the phone in disbelief and she giggled. He was so gullible!
"I...I...ahh..." he stammered before sighing and saying, "I'll pick you up in an hour Usa. Good bye." Click.
Usagi laughed at her fiancée and walked back to her room. She couldn't wait to see her family. They had been gone for three weeks now and she missed them so much, even her little brother Shingo. She fell onto her bed; the warm sun hit her cheek and made her drowsy again. She was almost completely asleep again when the phone started ringing.
RING! RING! RING!
"Mamo-chan! I'm already up I swear I'm getting ready!" She said once she picked up the receiver.
"Usagi?" A confused voice spoke over the phone. She blushed as she realized it wasn't Mamoru on the line.
"Gomen, Mom I thought it was Mamoru making sure I didn't go back to sleep." She said to her confused mother. Her mother laughed at her silly baby girl.
"Well Usa, I just wanted to say that our plane was delayed so we'll be a few minutes late coming in. I just don't want you to worry if we aren't there on time." Her mother said on the other line.
"Okay arigato for telling me mom. How is it you are able to call though?" Usagi asked.
"They have phones on the plane, but they cost lots of money so I better let you go now dear. I will see you soon."
"K, I look forward to it." Usagi smiled as she hung up the phone. Her mother was going to be so pleased that Mamoru had asked her to marry him. She had always loved Mamoru. Her father would be a different story, but she was sure that he would accept her choice to marry her Mamo-chan. That or her mother would just yell at him until he gave in.
She contemplated going back and lying down but thought better of it and went downstairs and turned on the TV. She wasn't used to being up this early on a Sunday and was happy to see many of the shows she used to watch as a child were on. She watched Kimba, the white lion and when it ended she went upstairs to the bathroom and had a quick shower.
Twenty minutes later Usagi emerged from her bathroom and walked into her room. She sat down at her vanity and picked up her brush. As she brushed her wet hair she thought of how she could tell her parents the good news. She could just tell them at the airport, that way they couldn't make a big scene if they disapproved. She felt confident that they wouldn't though. Mamoru had been part of their lives for four years now so they were used to having him around. She could tell them once they got home, maybe make her dad's favorite food and afterwards some hot cocoa and sit him down on the couch and they could tell them there. Or maybe she would tell her mom first and they could think of a way to tell her father. That would work. Yeah, Usagi liked that idea very much.
She put her hair up in its usual odango and took a final look at herself in the mirror. She had changed so much in the past four years. She wasn't the klutzy crybaby that she used to be, although she did use her tears when they came in handy as she had done earlier with Mamoru.
Mamoru arrived at her house right on time as usual and Usagi greeted him with a kiss and a hug.
"Hi Usako," he murmured into her ear. "How's my favorite fiancée." He smirked.
Usagi punched him in the side. "I'm your only fiancée!" she laughed and led him into the living room. "I just have to get Luna some food and then we can go." She said walking into the kitchen. Luna was the family cat, a small little thing that had been tormented by some stupid kids when Usagi had found her. She was in terrible shape but Usagi had brought her back to health. Now she and Luna were the best friends that a cat and human could be. She got the food out of the cupboard and poured some into the kitty bowl, hearing the noise Luna ran into the room making her way to the dish. Usagi kneeled down and scratched the her head before returning to the living room where Mamoru was waiting.
Usagi walked into the living and sat on Mamoru's lap, placing her arms around his neck. "So my mom called from the airplane and she said that they were going to be in later than expected so that means we have some extra time to do whatever." She whispered into his ear. Mamoru looked at her mischievously and said:
"Is that so?" Usagi giggled and nodded as a grin started to form on his face. "I wonder what we could do to pass the time." Usagi looked at him innocently and shrugged. "We could do this," he said and started giving her neck soft butterfly kisses. "Or we could do this," and he took her chin and brought her lips to his and kissed her. They broke apart and Usagi smiled and licked her lips. She liked that plan. "Or," Mamoru continued to her surprise, "I could do this." And he proceeded to tickle her.
She screamed and tried to wriggle out of his grasp but he held her tightly around the waist with one arm while the other tickled her mercilessly. "Ma- Mamo-chan! S-stop! Ahh! Please. Ahahaha... Oh My God... haha...S-stop!" Usagi screamed and laughed at the same time. She twisted her body and managed to elbow him in the gut, not to hard but hard enough for him to wince and let her go. As soon as she was free she ran laughing up to her room and locked the door behind her. A second later she heard Mamo-chan's footsteps on the stairs and his knock on her door.
"Usa, common, lemme in. I promise I won't tickle you anymore." Mamoru said through the door. Click. The door unlocked and Mamoru saw one smiling light blue eye peek out from a crack in the door.
"You promise, with ice cream and a cherry on top?" She asked. She saw Mamoru nod and opened the door wider. He made a halo with his fingers and smiled. She backed away from the door and ran quickly to the far side of her room, using the bed as a shield.
Mamoru walked into the room and sat down on Usagi's bed patting the spot next to him. She looked at him suspiciously and sat at the corner of the bed before slowly making her way next to him. She put her head on his shoulder and he placed his arm around hers. Usagi sighed. "This is a perfect moment." She said and then suddenly his other hand came out of nowhere and started to tickle her again. She screamed and tried to pull away from him but this just made it worse and Mamoru ended up on top of her squirming form.
Usagi stopped squirming once she realized this and smiled evilly. Mamoru also realized the position they were in and before Usagi could do anything about it he got off her and pulled her onto her feet.
"We should go to the airport now." With that he left the room and a sulking Usagi.
The car ride to the airport was quiet. Usagi was pouting over Mamoru's nobility and his whole waiting until they were married spiel and Mamoru didn't know he had done anything wrong.
Grrr... Why is he just so... so... well Mamoru! Why can't he just be Mamo-chan! The guy who would fill the room with roses and give me nice messages and kiss me all night! Usagi thought as the drove down the road. I've tried almost everything but he's always one step up, always thinking ahead. Damn him and he's ability to resist me! Her thoughts were occupied with the same notions for the whole ride to the airport, while Mamoru stole concerned glances her way.
"Usagi, we're here." She heard Mamoru's voice, bringing her out of her thoughts on how to seduce her future husband. "What's the matter Usako? Something's had you worried since we left the house."
"Oh? I was just hoping that everything was alright with the flight in from California. I hope my parents didn't hit too much turbulence, Shingo doesn't like flying very much." She said, not totally lying.
They got out of the car and made their way to the arrival area. The airport was bustling with people coming home and leaving on vacations and business trips. The arrival section was full of anxious people waiting for their loved ones to get home. Mamoru checked the screens to see when the Tsukino's would be arriving.
"Usa, your parents flight is coming in right now, looks like we made it just in time." Mamoru said. They looked out the large windows that overlooked the airfield and saw a large Boeing 747 jet starting it's decent. "That could be their plane right there." Mamoru said pointing to it. Usagi nodded and moved closer to the windows. She didn't trust planes, not that she had ever had bad experiences with them, but one of her best friends parents had died in a plane crash and Usagi had taken it to heart.
"Well let's go and wait by the gate for them!" Usagi said cheerfully, pushing the dark thoughts to the back of her mind. "I can't wait to see mom and dad!" She grabbed Mamoru's arm and dragged him to Gate 4A.
After waiting for twenty minutes Usagi saw the first people start to emerge from the docking area. She stood on her tiptoes holding on to Mamoru for support. "Do you see them Mamoru?" She asked.
"No, they won't be out yet because they weren't in first class." He said to her. Usagi pouted. Stupid first class people, she thought. She moved up closer to the gate trying to see as far into the tunnel as possible. She leaned over the rail that ran along the length of the greeting area. "Usako, if you lean out any further you're going to fall over the edge." He said to her. Usagi didn't listen to him and kept leaning further over the edge looking for her family. By the time he saw her going over the edge he couldn't catch her. She closed his eyes and waiting for her to start wailing.
When it didn't come he opened his eyes and looked to the floor where his fiancée should have been, but instead of seeing her feet in the air and head on the ground she was standing upright. He walked closer to her and looked at her and then to where she had been leaning over the edge. He saw a pair of long tanned legs. He drew his eyes up them and saw that they belonged to a small waist wearing a small black mini skirt. His eyes continued upward to see a nice sized chest dawned in a shirt that looked a bit too small for the woman who was wearing it. Mamoru's eyes ran up to her full lips and then he saw her eyes. They reminded him of the most clear seas he hade ever seen, blue with that sparkle of green that made them that more mysterious. Her eyes were smiling at him and then he heard her say:
"You'd better be careful hun, next time I ain't gonna be there ta catch ya!" She looked down at Usagi when she said this, causing the spell that had momentarily took over Mamoru to break. Usagi took his arm and he looked down at her.
"Are you okay Usa?" He asked looking down at her.
"Yeah I'm fine thanks to her." She said looking up at the stranger. She smiled and winked at Usagi.
"I'm sure this cutie you're attached to would have caught ya if I hadn't been there." She looked at Mamoru again and smiled. "He's quite a catch, you're one lucky girl." She said and started to walk away. "Oh by the way, congratulations."
"On what?" Usagi asked.
"Well that is an engagement ring on your left finger isn't it?" And then she was gone.
Usagi looked down at her finger and then at the spot where the woman had just occupied. It was silent for a minute and then Usagi heard her mother's voice.
"Usa!!! Did she just say that you were engaged!?!?" Usagi and Mamoru both looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ikuko, Kenji and Shingo staring at them in shock. This wasn't how she had planned to tell her parents.
Oh and I don't own sailor moon so nobody sue me please :p ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
