Usagi woke up from her bed, Mamoru just mere inches away from her in a nearby chair. Slowly she lifted herself up and brushed her bangs out of her eyes. Somebody had let down her odangos. Her forehead was damp. Someone had also been putting a cold rag on her forehead. Her gaze turned back to Mamoru, he lay in the chair asleep; he looked so much like a child. So much like the first day she had met him in the hospital. The first time she had met him in the moon kingdom. A grin touched the corners of her mouth as she put her hand on top of his.
"Usagi?" A voice came from the side. Turning her head she noticed that Ami too had been sitting in with her. She had probably been the one who had given her the damp cloth to keep what fever she may have gotten down.
Hearing her name Mamoru shot up from his sleep and rose to Usagi's eyes. "Oh thank god." He whispered as he took her into his arms. He felt like he never wanted to let her go; never. His hand ran through her hair and touched the back of her neck; giving Usagi butterflies in her stomach. No matter how bad she felt, how sick she was, she could always feel safe and better in his arms.
"I'm ok, just a little excited I guess." She whispered. Mamoru drew back from her and kissed her on the lips; Usagi nearly melted in his arms. "Don't ever scare me like that again." "I won't…I promise."

A week later…

Mamoru and Ami began walking down the streets together, choosing to walk back to the apartment together. Ami had gotten a room just a floor up from Mamoru, which had made Usagi very happy. Alek had a job interview; it being his last year in college, and it had taken nearly the whole day to get his little sister away from the two. "Rei and the others called last night." "Oh really?" "Yeah…Luna really misses Usagi. I mean Luna is like a third mother to Usagi." "Besides the Moon Queen and her present mom?" Ami gave a nod.
"They…may be coming down for a visit soon. Minako has a concert here in about two more days. She offered to pay for Makoto and Rei to come; they'll hide Artemis and Luna in a bag." "That's great, but won't Makoto be busy with her restaurant." "Michiru offered to watch it while she was gone." "Well I don't see the problem then." "I do…once Luna's here. It's going to be hard for Usagi and her to go…I mean Usagi's already lost Chibi-Usa." A grim expression was placed on Mamoru's face as the two turned up to the steps.
"Usako…she's a strong girl. Things will turn out for the better…they always do." Mamoru waved goodbye to Ami and opened the door. "I'm home." He announced taking off his shoes and placing his books on an end table. "Welcome home, I started supper." Mamoru walked towards the kitchen, meeting Usagi at the counter and giving her a kiss on the cheek. The girl had been busy cooking something with a pink bunny apron on. "Uh oh…My Usako…is cooking?" He said teasingly. Usagi gave him a slap on the shoulder and added a bit more spice to the food. "Very funny Mamo-Chan. Makoto taught me how to cook while you were away. I'm pretty good at it…my cookies don't burn anymore." "But you still have the klutz habit." "So sew me." "Heh…we sound like how we were before we fell in love." "Oh boy, before you know it I'll toss back a flunked test and you can laugh in my face." Mamoru gave a nervous laugh and rubbed the back of his head. "I guess I was a little mean back then."

Mamoru wrapped his arms around her shoulders. Usagi gave a grin as she finished chopping some of the carrots. "I'm home, and I brought a friend." Alek shouted as he walked to meet the two. "Hey you two love birds." He said with a grin; next to him stood his little sister Patricia. Once again the young child's gleeful grin had been shrouded and torn into a raging glare. What was it that made her feel so bad around the girl?

A jolt of pain ran through her head, causing her to give into her knees. Mamoru caught her before her shins could hit the ground and helped her stand upright. "Usako." Another sharp jolt ran through her mind but she didn't show this one. "I'm fine Mamo-Chan." She said standing up now looking as if she were fine. "Just a little hungry I guess…you know how my stomach gets. You better call Ami and tell her to come down for dinner." Mamo looked at Usagi and gave a weak looking grin, giving in. "Okay…" Mamoru left the room and Patricia followed him. Turning back to the counter she picked up the carrots and put them in the pot with all the other food. Alek ran his hands through his hair and strolled up next to Usagi. "You sure you're ok? I mean that's twice in the week. Mamoru doesn't know about the first one but I do. I can tell." Usagi put the lid on the pot and kept it to a simmer, turning to face Alek with a cheerful grin. "I don't know what you're talking about. I was just a little hungry right now is all." Alek gave an odd look to his new friend and shrugged. "Ok…whatever you say. Just know…I'll be watching you."

"Princess…princess Chibi-Usa!" Diana screamed in her human form as she ran down to meet her mistress. Chibi-Usa stood on the balcony that her mother once stood at. The one she'd call for her only love Endymion. The young pink haired girl looked out to earth, missing every very much. But she knew her time there must end for it was soon time for her to be conceived, and then her childhood would begin again. Now her mother needed her…her father needed her. Hearing the cries of her friend she turned and gave a shocked expression; Diana stood there nearly out of breath. "Princess…the master…Princess Selenity and Prince Endymion are missing!" Chibi-Usa took off in a spring, towards the throne room. Neither her mother nor father sat in the throne. A shock of fear overcame her. The opposite doors opened, her fellow junior scouts arriving. Para Para, sailor Pallas stood before her princess and bowed. "Mistress, your father and mother have disappeared. We have no clue to as where they have gone." She said in a child like voice. The girl and her sisters were already into their senshi outfits. Her blue hair had grown a little longer since the girl had last seen her. Sailor Ceres stood next to her younger sister and gave a sigh. "There's more. Sailor Juno and I can't find any of the other scouts." "Our parents are gone too?" Sailor Vesta asked with shock. "Of all people I expected you to know that VesVes. I mean your mom is the psychic." Sailor Vesta gave an annoyed look, slapping Sailor Ceres in the back of the head. "Why you little-!" Ceres was cut off by Jun who had slammed them both to the opposite ends of the room. "This is no time to be fighting! Some how…we have to find a way to find our parents. It's our duty to protect the future moon princess, Chibi-Usa." The girl said in the calmest tone she could. "Jun is right guys. We have to find them." Chibi-Usa said. "We may just be children, but I have command while my parents are absent. Diana." The girl who had remained quiet approaches, pushing through the green haired and pink haired woman to meet her master. "Yes." "Do you think-" "The past has altered?" Chibi-Usa gave a nod. Diana paused for a moment and gave a sigh under her breath. "I don't know." Sailor Vesta took a step forward. "Can't we ask Pluto for help? I mean she is the sailor scout of time." "Yes…but since our last big battle…she's no longer able to travel through time. If she does…the results could be disastrous." "CHIBI-USA!" Sailor Pallas screamed in horror, jumping up from the sitting position she had been in. Chibi-Usa lifted her hand, she was transparent. What was happening? "Princess!" Vesta screamed, attempting to grab hold of her. A shocked look came onto her, before they knew it; the little princess was gone. "Chibi-Usa!" Vesta screamed in horror.

Mamoru woke the next day, staring into Usagi's face. The woman lay asleep; she seemed so much like the woman he had first met. So immature, so gentle. Skimming his hand across her cheek he saw her grin at his touch. The girl was probably lost in her dreams of candy and sweets. A frown met his face. For the past week he had been dreaming about her. Not his Usako, but another woman. Haruna. Why now? Why after all these years could he remember Haruna? The woman had obviously forgotten about him, so why did he remember her?

Flash
"Mamo-Chan?" Eight year old Mamoru lifted his gaze from the beach he stared at towards the young girl next to him. She had long wavy hair, beautiful brown eyes, and the face that looked as if it had been carved by angels. Her dress was a plain white, though plain it looked as if it cost a million dollars. "Yes Haruko?" The girl had a babyish giggle pass her lips, reaching her hand out to touch his. "When you come back from Tokyo tomorrow, can we go to the beach together? I've never been there." Mamoru gave a grin and laced his fingers into Haruna's. "Of course, we can even have a picnic if you'd like." Haruna paused for a moment, nodded, and then gave a smile. "Mamo-Chan." "Yes?" "Do you promise…that you'll always be there for me? I mean my dad…he's not-" "I promise." When Haruna turned to meet him she saw such a determination in his eyes. So many times she had been let down. No matter what happened someone always betrayed her or left her in the dust for another. Mamoru knew of her past. He knew how and how much she had been hurt. She could trust him. Deep down in her heart she knew it.

That day Mamoru seemed far off in his mind. He seemed almost in a distant land. Away from everyone. Usagi was his one and only. His child's mother. The barer of his child. The one he'd marry, the one he'd always s loved. So why now, why did Haruna ring in his mind now of all times? Thousands of things could go wrong from this dream he had, and nothing right. Everything would change, could change. If he told Usagi about his dream, even a hint about Haruna it could mess up their whole relationship.
"Mamo-Chan?" He broke out of his mindless daze and took a bite of the chip he had. "Uh yes Usako?" "Would you mind stopping by the grocery store, I need a few things to make dinner for us tonight." Mamoru gave a grin and nodded, reaching for his wallet in his drawer. "I'll be back in twenty minutes at maximum."

Ten minutes later Mamoru was walking down the crowded streets to meet his dear Usagi. Yes. His dear Usagi. Haruna was a thing of the past, he'd never see her again and Usagi was destined to be his forever…forever. Forever was a long time. That thought continuously ran through his mind. Could a love really last forever. Is it possible for every reincarnation for someone to find the exact same person and love them?

A thump came against him and his bags fell to the ground; oranges falling everywhere. A groan of stress came over him as he bent o pick up his things, the girl who had bumped into him apologizing continuously saying that she was mixed up in her books too much. "It's ok really." He said as he lifted his gaze and stood straight. The woman handed him a text book he had bought and he looked at her in shock. "Here…your book." She said handing the book to him. Taking it only one word left his mouth. "Haruna?"
