Enjoy.

A muffled grunt could be heard followed by a, "Mm?"

"Usagi?"

Insert delicate sigh.

"Yea, Chiba?"

"How come you're awake so late?"

"Well, I dunno, really… I mean, why in the world would anyone even think about calling me at this ungodly hour?" a shuffle could be heard through the phone as Usagi turned over on her bed. She sat on her fluffy pink pillow and rested her frizzy head on the headboard of her bed.

"I couldn't sleep."

Insert a devastated sigh.

"Chiba Mamoru, since when have I been the alternative to your weariness?"

"I didn't want to wake someone else up."

"So glad you thought of me."

Insert chuckle and relaxed sigh.

"Me, too."

"So, really, why'd you call?" the petite Silver-haired blonde covered her mouth as an intruding yawn seeped passed her lips.

"Where's Kiyoshi? Did I wake him up, too?"

"Don't even think that he would be here at night or me with him. We are going to wait until we get married to do that," Usagi took an intake of breath and added as an after note, "unlike SOMEBODY I know."

Mamoru wondered if she could feel the grin on his face when she said that. Despite all the women he's ever been with, he's never bedded nor has he been bedded. The thought of laughing at the remark enticed him a bit.

"You'd be surprised, meatball head," with that Usagi decided she was too tired to fume with rage and told him so.

"So, that means you're still a virgin then, eh?" an all too innocent blush etched onto the tired face of the offending party. She wanted to give him a piece of her mind as it screamed its embarrassment and anger so loud she instantly wished for a bottle of aspirin. This certainly was none of his business and she was losing precious sleep by the second.

"Tsk. Usagi, how old are you now? Twenty-four? Anyways, wouldn't matter, I doubt that boyfriend of yours would ever even dare to work up the nerve to get that intimate with you. He's too meek and boring."

With that Usagi decided to go off. But, her mouth thought otherwise. Her mind wanted to be civilized. Well, at least even a bit, but her heart screamed for a battle.

Mamoru on the other hand was enjoying this nice little chat. He just simply could not sleep tonight and wanted to hear Usagi's pretty voice. It always did help him calm down, especially when he got a riled reaction out of her. He wondered if he should end this chat soon as he wiped the remaining sleep out of his midnight blue eyes. He was far from even being able to doze off.

"Not true, idiot. He's everything to me. Smart, funny, gentle, sexy-"

"Lame, mind-numbing, shy, quiet, uneasy sometimes, frail-"

"Shut up, Mamoru. Don't interrupt me when I'm talking." he smirked.

"I love him, though. Despite small flaws like those, I love him."

"Yeah, love changes everything." Usagi could just see the bored expression to the tone he used.

"It could make those great and lame personalities outwit and outweigh looks. Even make the person appear more attractive. Can't it, Usagi?"

"Good night, idiot."

"Hey, meatball head, I'm not even tired! Let's keep tal-"

Insert beep and night slicing ring tone.

"Heh, look, who's cutting off who now?" whispered Mamoru to the phone as he chuckled to himself.

"Hey, bunny! Hungry?" Usagi giggled as she nodded.

"Of course, Makoto, why else would I go here?" The green eyes of her tall brunette friend showed that of mock hurt as she playfully clutched onto the orange material of an apron over her heart.

"What?!" Makoto's twinkling eyes gave no justice to her pouty lips, "And here I thought you were just visiting little ol' me all this time!"

Usagi laughed as she took off her sunglasses happy she had the day off from shooting today.

"Quiet, you, and give me my food!" the short woman ordered the tall one.

"Haha, ok, ok, hold your horses little one!" she left at once into the back of the quaint bakery and café shop.

Usagi sighed happily as she took a look around like she usually did. Cheery wooden orange seats complimented round and green wooden tables. Each table donned pink cherry blossoms in small glass vases, matching perfectly with the light pink painted onto the outside of the quaint business.

Donned on the left wall was a portrait framed in glass containing much memories of her college life and many good times. Six happy people beamed back at Usagi as she wished once again she could relive those moments. Not that she was unhappy of her life now, but a trip down memory lane was the best mental vacation.

"Mamoru and Rei, still an item back then," Usagi shook her head and laughed as she saw herself and Makoto sitting in front of the couple smiling like hell with peace signs dawning either one of their hands.

"Amy…I wonder how she's doing," she examined the blue haired girl with her hands modestly behind her back, thoughtfully, "she was always the most quiet and most humble of us all!"

"Yea, remember when she got her hair dyed? We all flipped! It was her own crazy impulse, too. I wish at least one of us was there!"

Usagi grinned as Makoto laid her lunch in front of her.

"Mina was always the over flirtatious one. She had a majorly huge crush on that photographer," mused the brunette as Usagi gladly munched on her food. They both looked at the posing Minako besides Rei, winking and bending over, looking as if she had just blown a kiss towards the camera man-which she did. All too suddenly they burst out with laughter from recollections of the past, Usagi coughing a bit from food yet to be fully swallowed.

But, that was long ago, when they were all still in college. All of them had acting classes together, but only Mamoru, Minako and Usagi took it seriously as a profession. That is where all of them became the best of friends. Now, they were all split up practically, living elsewhere in Japan, Europe, America, China, Africa, whatever. It did not matter where, all she knew was she was happy everyone was fulfilling their ambitions for life. After they filmed the last of the Sailor Moon series everyone wanted to follow their real dreams.

"Usagi! I've got the best of news! In my horoscope today it said I was going to meet a sexy and romantic Libra this month, who is going to sweep me off my feet!" Makoto had long since passed the "He looks like my old boyfriend" phase, if it could be considered that. It kind of left her after they shot the Sailor Moon series. But, she was still a wishful thinker, with her romance novels. She was definitely a hopeless romantic.

"Oh my gosh, Usagi! What if I see him today?! Look at me! I'm hideous!" exclaimed Makoto as the starry twinkle in her eyes left and was replaced with slight gloom.

Usagi laughed. No, she did not change at all.

Mamoru was enjoying his evening, out on a date with the girl of his choice. He did not get any sleep the night before, but hey, lack of slumber was nothing to keep him down from his bachelor days. He did ponder on the silver-haired nymph at times, but nothing special. He grinned at the thought of calling her. They were a bit more civil towards each other than usual. It was kind of nice.

"Oh, sweetie! We're going to a French restaurant?" exclaimed the pretty brunette sitting in the passenger seat next to him. His jaw was set nicely as he nodded once. Since when was he sweetie to her? A smug grin formed on his lips. He hated to say it, but he was only on his first date with the girl and she was already turning him off. Although, she did have a pretty face and an appealing bubbly personality…She was just a little too bubbly. He thought about Usagi and thought how he would rather have someone like her.

As Mamoru and his exquisite date walked passed the reservations table with a waiter leading them through the maze of fancy tables he wondered, with amusement, why he wanted someone like Usagi, but not Usagi. Then he stopped as a small "Eep" was heard.

"Speak of the devil," was all he said as he stared at surprised blue eyes framed around and above with soft, lovely bangs.

"Hello, Kiyoshi, Usagi." He said with two nods and received respectful greetings.

Insert amused grin and developing frown.



What were the odds?

THANKS SOOO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS GUYS!

I really hope you all like this chapter as much or more than the first one. I've been going crazy writing it and changing it and writing it over. Haha, I have very high standards for myself. But, this is pretty much the best I can do right now, at least. I just wish it was as long as the chapters in my other story. This is short.

It's hard to write when you really don't know where to go with this all, except the beginning. But, thanks again for the reviews! I'll try and make the second chapter better!

Tokyo Rabbit: **giggles** thank you! You gave me the most uncanny drive to write more fast! I hope this chapter's close to what you expected to read!

Ik: Haha, of course it's a love story between Mamoru and Usagi! I wouldn't have it any other way.

Sailor Star: It's an honor. Thanks! I always tried to finish reading you're "Deadly Schooling" story, but I'd always have to stop for one reason or the other. I shall try and get to it quickly!

Emerald_jade: you and me both! *wink* but, I am spoken for! Can't go off running away with anime characters now, can we? (oh…but if it were only so…haha)
