Serena-Usagi Darien-Mamoru Amy-Ami Mina-Minako Lita-Makoto Raye-Rei Rini-Chibi-Usa Amara-Haruka Michelle-Michiru Hotaru-Hotaru Sammy-Shingo
That's it for now
Also a special thanks to Moon-Daisuke and Serene Amethyst, if it weren't for their reviews I probably wouldn't have written chapter two. Well here it goes, hope you like it. I probably won't have all the dramatic and good stuff really come in until chapter four, this is getting everything introduced.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ami sat a few inches away from Usagi on the plane to America. This would be their first time in America. Ami was fairly well at her English and Usagi had done really well. Ever since Mamoru left she had been determined to learn English. The only thing they ad to worry about was not using honorifics too much.
A flight attendant walked by and nudged Ami's elbow. "We're about to land; you may want to buckle up." Nodding Ami reached over towards Usagi, shaking her hand slightly. The girl didn't wake. Again, but rougher this time. Still she didn't wake. "Mamoru-San you're here." Ami said. Usagi shot up and began to look around frantically for her love. "Thought that'd wake you up." Ami announced with a chuckle. Usagi gave an annoyed glare to her friend. "That's mean Ami-Chan." Was all she said as she stuck out her tongue. A smile came on Ami as she fastened her seatbelt. "We're about to land." Usagi lifted her wrist and observed the time on her bunny watch. 8:20 p.m. American time. "I wonder what the others are doing right now." She thought out loud as she buckled her seatbelt.
A man was seated across from Minako in a small building in a business outfit. He slid Minako a stack of thick papers; she looked at them carefully. Grinning she picked up a pen and signed her name on the bottom line. "Very well Aino-Sama. Welcome back to the modeling business." Giving a short bow she exited the room, pulling out her cell phone. Pressing speed dial number one she brought it up to her ear as she exited the building and began to walk on the streets of Tokyo. "Rei-Chan? It's me. I got the job. They remembered me and signed me right away, my manager was there and everything."
Rei sat down on her steps with a broom in her opposite hand of her phone. Her grandfather was busy flirting with Makoto; reminding her that she was no longer a minor. "That's great! Makoto-Chan got the lease and license to open her restaurant. She's going to open it tomorrow. I agreed to help her out."
"Hey…Rei-Chan?"
"Yeah?"
"How's Luna doing?"
Rei paused for a moment.
"She misses Usagi-Chan. Artemis has been trying his best but…Luna acts as if she isn't fazed though."
"I see…we'll have to call Usagi-Chan tonight."
Usagi and Ami stood in front of the complex building that Mamoru lived in. Butterflies were filled in the young blonde's stomach. Today she'd finally get to see Mamoru again. It had been so long since she had last seen him. It was as if the day they admitted their feelings to one another all over again, just minus the being beaten into the ground by Queen Beryl. Last time she'd saw him was Christmas. She'd given him a teddy bear and he gave her the bunny watch she wore.
"Ami grasped the woman's arm and the two walked up the stairs and in front of his door. They stood there a moment; Usagi raised her hand to knock. It was nine o'clock…maybe he was asleep. Just when she was about to chicken out Ami nudged her back, pushing her forward; crashing her into the door. It opened and a man stood at the now opened door; Usagi falling into his arms dizzy from her head meeting the door.
"Whoa…Thank you god." He said in glee. Ami helped her friend up and gave the unfamiliar guy a glare. "Excuse us…we may have the wrong room." The man placed his left hand on his hip and the right leaned on the door with his chin slightly tilted. "Who are you looking for?"
"Mamoru Chiba." Usagi uttered, still somewhat embarrassed.
"Well you have the right room. He's my roomie."
The man swung the door wider and let the women in. They took off their shoes and put them to what they guessed was Mamoru and his shoes; though one pair seemed a little to feminine. The man led them into the living room and let them have a seat on the love seat, he on the recliner. "I'm Alek." "Usagi." "Ami."
Alek shifted in his seat and a young woman entered, steeping behind him and leaning her elbow on the back of his chair. She looked around sixteen and almost identical to Alek. "Who are those girls, your lackeys?" She asked rudely. "Excuse her manners, this is my sister Patricia." The girls gave a nod towards her. "Patricia, this is Usagi and Ami. Their here to see Mamoru." "Mamoru! What do they want to see him for?" She asked in a mixture of rage and panic. "He's twenty-two, what do you think?" Alek said with a grin.
Ami coughed, holding her fist up to her mouth as she looked at them. "Curiosity killed the cat."
"I'm no cat!" Patricia roared.
"Stop teasing." Usagi ordered. "I'm here to start my life with him." Patricia gave a defensive look towards the girl. "Listen here missy-"
"I'm his fiancé." Usagi finished by showing them her ring. The ring that Mamoru had given her just before the first time he left. Patricia sank into a nearby chair. "Wow, my buddy scored big time! But uh…why are you here Ami is it? I knew it; Mamoru must've asked you to bring a friend for me."
"Why you!" Usagi stopped Ami from speaking anymore; reminding her that it was Mamoru and Alek's place. "She's here to go to Harvard. She's my best friend."
"Harvard, that's the same as Mamoru and I. What field or area are you aiming for?"
"Doctor." Ami said in a ticked off tone. For a moment everyone sat down silent; unspeaking. Usagi gazed at Alek. He had short brown hair cut un-neatly; body built athletically; eyes of a plain brown. From his left ear hung an earring. Switching her gaze over to his sister's she noticed that she looked almost the same. The only difference was that she had longer hair, a slimmer body, and her earring was on the right. Patricia had this evil glare on Usagi, as if she didn't like her. There would be no reason to not like her as far as she could see. Usagi shifted in her seat again and stood. "May I…go to the bathroom?"
"Sure go right ahead." Alek replied with a grin. Nodding Usagi went in the motion Alek pointed to and shut the door behind her.
"I'm home." Mamoru said with a bag of groceries in his hand. Taking off his shoes he noticed two extra pairs of shoes that weren't normally there. Maybe Patricia was over for a visit with two of her friends. She liked to show him off. For some odd reason she'd chosen to have her little childhood crush on him, even though he told her time and time again he had someone.
Shrugging it off he pulled the bags tighter and walked into the kitchen. "I got some food. I picked up a few textbooks too."
"Mamoru…you may want to come here for a moment."
"I'm kind of busy with the groceries. If it's one of Patricia's friends they can wait."
"I think it's important."
Sighing Mamoru put down the six pack of coke and walked into the living room. A shocked expression came on his face. "A-Ami?"
"Oh so that's the kind of welcoming an old friend gets." She teased as she stood. "Sorry…it's just…wow. I haven't seen you since-"
"Christmas. I know. I got a present for you."
"Really?" Mamoru asked with a slight grin.
"Please tell me its rice cakes."
"Nope…better. I'd wrap it up in a pretty pink ribbon but it refused." Mamoru gave a bewildered look
Hearing the door open from the side Mamoru slowly turned around. Looking at the door he noticed a woman. The woman he had missed for so long. The one that could always put a smile on his face. It felt as if time had stopped and tears were about to well up in his eyes. Running up to her he picked her up, spinning her around in a circle. Usagi grasped onto him as tight as he could, not wanting to ever let go. For what felt like just a few short moments they held one another. It felt good to be with one another again.
The two pulled away, but with Usagi's arms still wrapped around his neck. A grin shot on her face, one that she felt no one could ever take away.
"Usako…I'm so…there aren't any words that can express how happy I am now." She simply gave a grin back and tilted her head.
"Well I'm here to stay."
"To stay?"
"Yeah, Ami's going to Harvard. Mom and everyone paid for me to come down here for my graduation present. I'm staying here, but going to another college. To be with you." Mamoru gave a grin and bent down, but not as much as he once use to. The two kissed immensely, making up for every other kiss, hug, or moment they had lost to one another. All Usagi knew was that it felt great to be in his arms again.
A crash was heard. Patricia stood a few feet away from the two, a vase in shatters just inches from her feet. Anger looked to be in her eyes. The look in the woman's eyes scared Usagi. It scared her so bad that her knees felt as if they were going to collapse. Usagi looked up at Mamoru, suddenly she realized it wasn't the glare that was giving her weak knees; it was something else.
"M-Mamo-chan."
Murmuring those words her legs gave out and she collapsed.
