~~~~~~~~~~~

THat night, Usagi was having one of her recurring dreams in which she was a princess of an ancient kingdom. She'd always had those dreams but they had been becoming much more frequent in the past month. They always seemed eerily realistic as if they had actually had happened, but she'd just forgotten about it. By now, she'd gotten so used to them they didn't even seem strange to her anymore, just intresting.

Princess Serenity was at a masquerade ball, dancing with her beloved Prince Endymion. The rest of the world faded away whenever she looked into his midnight-blue eyes, but tonight they were obscurred by his white opera mask.

"It's getting kinda stuffy in here, do you want to go for a walk?" Endymion whispered in her ear. Serenity felt a shiver go down her spine at the sound of his smooth, sexy voice. Oh my gosh, his voice does that to me *every* time

They started walking then running on a secluded beach. They loved running together at night, with noone to see them and to tell them to act *proper*. They ran back and forth in the water, letting the waves crash at thier feet. After a few minutes of playful frolicking, Serenity sat in the sand and stared up at the earth.

"It looks so beautiful.... When will you take me there?"

"As soon as I can my love." Endymion whispered "Then we'll sit on the beach...just like this ... and I'll kiss you....Just like this...." The couple shared a sweet kiss.

"The only difference will be that we'll be looking up at the moon, not the earth."

I can feel his heart beating... Serenity thought as she felt a soft pounding against her chest. It felt so nice...

Usagi woke up to the sound of soft but insistant tapping on her window.

"Jeez, it took you long enough, I was knocking on your window for more than five minutes!" Mamoru said as he stuck his head through her window. He was soaking wet and was wearing the leather jacket Usagi had made him buy. He had complained about it initially but Usagi noticed he'd started wearing it all the time. For a moment Usagi just stared at him before she thought to ask:

"Mamoru what are you doing here?"

"Could you help me in, I don't feel like falling out of your tree. I've already suffered enough abuse from your father."

"What happened?"

"Well I was kinda concerned since you ran away from us this morning and you didn't show up for tutoring so I brought you flowers." Mamoru said, handing her a mangled bouquet of pink roses. "Anyways, when I rang your doorbell, your father answered and seeing the flowers, he must have assumed I was your boyfriend or something and started chasing me with his garden hose. He chased me for over an hour before I lost him. How long *is* that damned garden hose?"

"It's a mile long." Usagi grinned "Dad got that size for that specific reason. Mom talked him out of getting the five mile hose"

"Remind me to thank your mother for that." Mamoru sneezed. "If I live"

"He must have thought you were dangerous because of your leather jacket. Anyway, stop complaining" Usagi said, pulling out her blowdryer and drying him off "My day sucked too!"

~~~~

"I TOLD you but NO you just *had* to take that test didn't you?"

"Well you could at least *pretend* to have some sympathy" Usagi scowled.

"Nope, I'm actually happy. You'll be my jogging prisoner for another two weeks."

"Well it may suprize you but I actually *like* jogging now so I wont be your prisoner." Usagi pointed out

"Then what are you?"

"I guess I'm your ... partner"

"Partners...hmm...I think I like prisoner more" Mamoru grinned. "But okay!"

"You're so stupid"

Well since we never got to finish our jogging this morning...."

"Huh?"

"How about a Midnight run *partner*?"

"It's not midnight, it's 10:00!"

"Well yes or no?"

"Oh, alright"

They snuck out her window and headed out into the night.

"NIce dress." Mamoru teased her.Usagi hadn't bothered to change out of her princess style nightgown.

"Why thank you." Usagi answered haughtily."It's the height of fashio, according to teen vogue"

"Are you sure you can run in that?" Mamoru asked.

"Of course." she replied, just before she tripped over the hem of her nightgown. Mamoru laughed as he helped her up. "It's not funny!!" She exclaimed, but that only made him laugh harder. She picked up the hem of her nightgown and chased him but was still unable to catch him. one day she swore to herself. I'm gonna wipe that stupid smirk off of his face

The 'partners' decided not to jog in the park and instead headed in the other direction. Tokyo was full of streetlights and the moon was shining so they had no trouble seeing where they were going. Not that it mattered to them where they were going anyway. They ran aimlessly, downtown, past the school, the mall, the archade, all of them closed since it was so late at night. After a while they had reached Tokyo beach (an I dunno if this really exists but lets pretend it does) which was deserted since it was so late at night. They started running in the water and Usagi felt a strange feeling of deja vu. It was so strong she lost her balance and fell into the water. Mamoru stopped to help her up. Usagi gazed at the moon then at Mamoru. She could almost her a silky voice saying "...When that happens we'll be looking up at the moon not the earth..."

"Eeeek!" Usagi cried, "Get away from me!" She pushed him and he fell into the water with her.

"Usa-ko what was that for?" Mamoru complained.

"I don't know." she whispered."Sorry Mamo-chan, I just had the *weirdest* feeling..."

"Well you didn't have to INJURE me!"

"I SAID sorry, what else do you want, a written declaration?" Niether of them noticed what they had accidently called each other by thier secret pet names.

"No, I think I want a kiss...." Mamoru whispered.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!!"

"On my boo-boo" He pointed to the small scrape on his cheek. "Isn't that supposed to make it better?"

"Oh alright" Usagi lowered her face to his and kissed his 'boo-boo' "There, all bet-"

Mamoru kissed her on her mouth. Usagi felt like screaming then giggling.... This was her first kiss and it felt gentle and sweet.... just like she'd always imagined a kiss would be!

"Oops. I missed your nose." he explained with a huge blush. Usagi silently touched the small bruise on her nose. A million thoughts raced through her mind and she shook her head to clear it.

"It's getting a bit cold, I think we should head back." Was all she managed to say.

They silently headed back to her house. Once again, Usagi couldn't think of a single thing to say to Mamoru. When they finally reached her house, Usagi climbed up her tree and slipped back into her window. Mamoru waved her good bye and without thinking, she waved back and blew him a kiss. A glance at her clock told her it was after 12:00 am. She could have sworn her cat Luna looked angry at seeing her out so late. Nah, she was just seeing things.....

"Goodnight Luna" Usagi said after changing out of her wet nightgown and slipping into bed. She was so tired that she fell asleep before her head hit the pillow....
