Author's notes

I'm back, thanx to all you reviewing wonderful people out there! Hope you like this chappy! You know the drill with the reviews. I need them, I want them, I have an addiction to them. And my wonderful Squeaky-chan is reading this for errors again. You guys can never know just how much she helps me. Without Squeak's help, this story would be shit. Any who, let's get it started in here!

And you are all familiar with the usual disclaimer…so no need to repeat it…

On with the show!

"Mamo-chan?"

'Oh my god! Did Tuxedo Kamen hear that?" I thought with a quick glance toward my savior. Upon seeing him, I noticed an odd dreamy sort of expression, which was soon replaced by a scared look and a quick glance toward me. Our eyes locked as our lips drew ever closer. Closer and closer and clo-

"Sailor Moon! Are you ever gonna get your butt down here and help us or are you gonna keep on flirting with Tuxedo Kamen all day long?" shouted my best friend Sailor Mars.

Sighing heavily, I reluctantly pulled myself out of Tuxedo Kamen's warm embrace and start my decline out of the tree.

"Until we meet again…my lady…" murmured Tuxedo Kamen at he flew of into the night. I swooned after his retreating form.

Sighing again I look at Mars with an annoyed expression on my face.

"What the heck was that about?" I shouted, VERY ANGRY. " I was about to thank Tuxedo Kamen for helping me out!"

"Sure!" said Ray rolling her eyes widely and obviously. As retribution I did the mature thing and blushed furiously and stuck out my tongue. She, in response, copied my action.

"Guys!" shouted Miaka, now in civilian form "As much as I love a good tongue war, we should probably be leaving now!"

"But what about the monster?" I had just realized that it was gone.

"Since the monster was an eraser, I was able to simply wash it away due to my Mercurian powers. It's a simple formula…" Thankfully before Amy (she too had detransformed… how did I miss that?) could bore us all into stupidity, Miaka clamped a hand over her mouth.

"Say Miaka, I just remembered you promised us a shopping trip after all this was done. Does that offer still hold?"

"TOTALLY!! You think I would give up the chance to shop?"

A few hours later

After shopping ourselves dangerously close to poverty, we decided

to go to our own houses, soak our poor, nearly bloodied, feet, and chat online

(Amy): so…Bunny, what were you and Tuxedo Kamen 'talking' about in the tree? ::wink, wink::?!

(Me): nothing!!!!

(Miaka): Like that's the truth!

Smiling secretly, I felt myself blush at the thought of how I almost kissed him. I wish they would let it be!

(Me): nothing that concerns you!

(Mina): Sooooo……..how far did you guys go?

I simply stared in shock at the screen. THOSE LITTE BUSYBODIES!!

(Me): NOTHING HAPPENED…….and I have Rei here to thank for that….

(Rei): so that means that something almost happened?

(Makoto): What were you two gonna do waaay up there in the tree?

Are people supposed to turn CRIMSON? Because if not, then I was in danger!

(Me): I was just thanking him for saving me, that's it! I was only being polite.... that's it! Anyways, what are your summer plans?

Maybe they wont notice my terrible cover, or my blatant attempt to change the subject... oh who am I kidding... maybe they'll at least take the hint...

(Amy):I'm going to be moving into Yale for my study programs on radiology.

(Mina): u r gonna be on the radio?

(Me): no! She's gonna do x-rays! DUH!

(Mina): oh…

(Miaka): JRK

(Rei): I was just joking! You really need to grow up.

(Mina): I want to play volleyball for a living, so that means I'll also be moving, but I'm gonna move to Mexico so I can play professionally.

(Me): judging by the name, we couldn't tell

(Mina): don't make fun of me. N E way, what r u gonna be?

(Me)an 9nth grade English teacher.

(Amy): Kami I pity you!!!!!

(Me): it's not that bad!!! I liked my 9thgrade eng. teacher

(Me): ::glares::

(Rei): I am gonna be a singer! I'm already accepted into Julliard!

(Me): kewl! Are all your songs gonna be about how stupid we non-priestess are?

(Rei): NO!! Although in your case……

(Miaka): what r u gonna do Makoto?

(Makoto):I'm…not sure…

Looking back at the screen, I suddenly realized that Makoto had been missing for a while.

'I wonder why that is?' I thought to myself, starting to get more than a little concerned…and curious.

(Me): what's up Makoto?

(Makoto): nothing, I just need sleep.

(Mina): we all do. Talk to you later!

(Makoto): 'night

(Amy): see you in the morning

(Rei):I'm gonna go pray to the sacred fire, and hopefully gain some insight into our futures.

(Miaka): sleep tight!

Me): Bye-Bye!

next day

"Miaka, you are a goddess for letting us use your pool like this." I said, sinking into the cool depths of the feather shaped pool. (an: Hehe, get it? Giggiddy Giggiddy, alright!

"No big deal. My mom's out of town and my big brother's with his girlfriend, so I need some company."

"To bad Rei couldn't join us." Chimed in Mina.

"Where did she go again?" asked Makoto

"I don't know." was my response. "She said something about the future and rushed off."

"That could be good or bad news when dealing with Rei." Stated Miaka.

"ROSWELL!!!!!" screamed Amy (most surprisingly) from her beach chair near the pool. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

"What the heck?" I muttered as I ran to comfort my stricken friend.

Once we all reached Amy (dripping wet due to our recent swim) we saw the cause of distress. In Amy's lap lay a magazine opened to a page telling about how the show Roswell (Ami's favorite show) was being canceled.

"My god Amy, is that all?" I questioned, having no tolerance towards this topic. "I thought there was a death in the family, or your dog Roswell died."

"This is worse." mumbled a distressed Miaka.

"Not you too! Did all of you watch that show?"

"Yeah…" Mina said half-heartedly.

"This is so stu…" I never had the chance to finish my sentence. At that moment Rei wal-no…she didn't walk in…more like floated in as if on cloud nine.

"Um…Rei…are you O.K?" I asked.

"I'm getting married." She said in an odd, dreamy way. By the look of her face she was in heaven, but the look in her eyes looked so sad. As the others ran up to congratulate her, I hung back inspecting my friend who I loved like a sister. She looked happy, but those eyes, those violet eyes that displayed Rei's every emotion when her face did not. Those eyes told me she wasn't really as happy as she said she was. That she was missing something, but her realistic side wasn't letting her admit that.

'What's wrong with poor Rei.' I thought 'She should be happy! This is the best moment of her life, she's getting married. But then, why does she look so distant and pained almost? She looks just about as bad as I feel whenever I tell myself to forget about Mamoru. She's hiding something, I just wish I knew what.'

"Who is it?" Miaka thought to ask.

All at once Rei's face changed from her dream-like pain, to a baffled and confused expression.

"Chibia, Mamoru Chibia."

A.N

I love cliffhangers! Just not when I'm the one reading them..

Once again I'd like to thank all of you who reviewed and my co-writer SQUEAKY-CHAN!!!!

Oh, and one little note. Anyone else think that Mexico SOOOOOOOOO suits Mina? Sorry, just had to point that out. And if anyone knows ANY place where there's a good Volleyball team, PLEASE tell me in a review and I can change the place.
