Yay! AN UPDATE! Finally, yea?

To answer a few questions:

Yes, Mamoru had dreams about a princess that looked exactly like Usagi before.

But, remember, the show is based on their lives. And, the senshi business is only when they are acting.

Usagi hummed to herself happily. Lately she and Kiyoshi have been doing pretty well and she just couldn't contain her happiness. The glowing woman smiled in delight. She did not even want to start tracing back to when they started at a good pace again. After all, who's keeping count, eh?

"Kiyoshi…" she murmured like a lovesick fool as she opened her bathroom drawer and absentmindedly looked through it.

She had just gotten off the phone with the center attention of her running thoughts. Yes, a splendid conversation they had. She smiled as he told her not to miss her friends too much.

"After all, they miss you, too and you'll see them eventually," repeated Usagi happily as she remembered what her boyfriend said for comfort, "Now let's see…AHA!"

Triumphantly, her fist shot up with a proud gleam in her eye. She opened her delicate hand to only reveal a contact case lay out on her palm.

"Oh, this is gonna be a great day!" the woman gushed with high spirits as she put on her contacts carefully, "be careful, girl…don't hurt yourself…mmmm…THERE!"

Green winked at Usagi from the mirror before she left her bathroom in a skip.
Mamoru was deep in thought as he stared at the newspaper in front of him, lazily scanning the words without reading them. Every time his eyes dared to register the black print physically, his brain would turn blank and attempt to reread them again. He wasn't quite sure what he was thinking about, but he knew WHO he was thinking about and for some reason it really irritated him this time. He hadn't a clue on why he wanted to do something about it. He just did.

"Man…" sighed his glum voice as he tossed the newspaper in the trash next to him, "I shouldn't care this much."

A few people walked by his bench as he gave a stretch and scratched the back of his head while battling with his inner self. 'And, even if I did, it's no big deal.' Then why did it feel like it? He shook his head. There was something nagging in him that really wanted him to make a stand. 'A stand at what? To do something nice?'

YES! Something shouted out in his mind. The man frowned slightly.

"Whatever." Before the dark-haired thinker could even fully stand, someone bumped him back down on the park bench.

"I'm very sorry! I wasn't really watching my surroundings and you stood up so suddenly." he heard a voice say and he instantly looked up and glared but his slitted eyes suddenly widened at the emerald that stared openly at him, mouth open slightly.

For some reason he was expecting Usagi.

He peered closer into the girl's face making her grow warm. He was definitely invading her personal space and she never liked that about him. The wind blew her dark hair around her shoulders and she forced against the urge to take a step back as the man before her grinned.

"You're a very beautiful lady." He said so matter-of-factly it made her sweat drop.

'How straight forward can someone get?' she thought with a tiny frown that did not go unnoticed by the man.

"Thanks…"

"No, thank you for accidentally giving me the chance to meet someone so pretty and polite," the girl blushed at this, "there are a lot of rude people out there who would just scream their heads off if they bumped into someone."

"Ha." The girl seemed to be fighting some urge down, along with a few snide remarks. Even when he's flirting he finds a way to indirectly insult her!

'Hmph. What a jerk.'

"I'm sorry, miss, I've been rude," Usagi wanted to laugh at that. If only he knew, "My name is Chiba Mamoru…and you are?"

The girl's green eyes stared at his extended hand suspiciously before letting her own grab it in a shake. Once her hand touched his she immediately fought down a blush.

His touch was so warm and welcoming. Whenever her hands had to entwine with his for a shooting they were so different, formal in fact. He welcomed them, yes and it always seemed as if he was teasing her by willingly doing so, but this felt different?

'Wonder, why?' she thought with a mental sigh.

Then there were times that he tried to act like the playful pig he was and hold her as if they were a real couple, making her think twice. She shook her head to herself inside her mind and gave a horrid sigh. Eventually he would purposely take things too far and piss her off immensely. 'Like squeezing my ass! …Bastard.'

Mamoru's dark eyebrow rose at the sudden added squeeze of pressure to his hand and all the animated expressions that flashed across the unnamed girl's face. She was definitely pretty as he scanned her flawless face. Nothing really stood out, her green eyes were obviously contacts, but they were still big and beautiful. He felt some sort of physical attraction to her fast as he laid his eyes on her lips. They were so cute and pouty, 'somewhat like Usagi's.' He slapped himself silly inside for that. But, of course he knew the meatball head's lips, he reasoned, with a scream in his head. He had kissed them multiple times, after all.

Blue eyes blinked suddenly into vision as he stared at their still shaking hands. Hers were so delicate against his, but very tight. Over the past seconds, the squeeze that she applied got rather threatening.

"Ummm…" Mamoru interrupted the thoughts and the changing faces the girl before him was making. She immediately began to blush and giggle insanely.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I-It's just I've never met a celebrity before! My name is Shoi Nao" Hey, she might as well play along with her disguise, eh? She seriously wondered why Mamoru didn't figure out who she was yet.

Her mind screamed at her stomach not to puke when he put on one of those charming smiles of his. 'He thinks he's so hot, huh?' Usagi let out a smile of her own that made Mamoru's smile grow with pleasure. 'Huh?' the girl wondered what made him so happy all of a sudden.

"I understand, Nao" he noticed the frown the girl had at the mention of her first name, "My apologies, Miss Shoi. But, it's really no big deal being famous. Sorry for being so blunt, but I just hate it sometimes."

"Hm?" was the girl's soft reply as she bit down on the tip of her thumb nail listening.

Mamoru stared and chuckled at his urge to explain more and gave in. He was really a fool for a minute there.

"Sure, the usual famous reply would be 'I just want people to stay out of my life' or 'I just want to be a normal everyday person who can go buy groceries without a paparazzi hanging around or someone asking for my autograph.' Yes," he glanced straight into the eyes of the attentive girl in front of him, "those are very true…but it's not what I wanted in life at all. I hate the people around me."

Eyes widened in surprise, "What do you mean?" she asked with a pitched voice as Mamoru casually went closer towards the girl's small form.

"The people at parties and premiers…the directors, all those bright lights, my co-star…I just can't stand it!"

"Hey!" she stepped back offended, "what? So you don't like any of the people you work with at all?! Not even your co-star? Then why stick around, hm? Just need the money, or what? If you don't even like your job, no one's asking you to stick around, you know!"

Mamoru smirked at the girl's sudden anger. All too familiar, he should have known sooner. Her facial expressions, how she bit her thumb nail in thought, were all just like Usagi. He thought back on when all the girls would get all dressed up in disguises to hang out. Once they were all famous and their pictures were seen everywhere in Japan, they felt it was necessary. Mamoru knew they went in disguises more for the fun of it than for privacy. He shook his head once more that day. Of course it was her, and of course those lips were hers.

His smirked widened as he took Usagi by the shoulders and stared at her wide eyes.

"I was just kidding about that. I don't mind the people around me and my co-star," Mamoru said softly with a grin shining through his eyes as his face leaned towards hers, "besides, you've always known I wanted to be a doctor, Usagi."

Round eyes grew into two saucers as a click was heard in Usagi's mind, feeling the breath over her own lips and hearing her name.

Before the dirty deed of Mamoru's lips was done, the tiny girl pushed his body away from her with all her might and screamed at the top of her lungs.

"MAMORU YOU IDIOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!" she charged at his laughing figure and began to pound at his chest, only making his laughter harder and louder.

"Idiot! Idiot! I hate you so much!!" her heart was pounding fast from the surprise and anger.

And that's how Makoto found them, in her own fun disguise: Mamoru laughing like a maniac with tears in his eyes and Usagi punching at his chest, screaming at the top of her lungs. She smiled with only one thought. 'Childish.'
As soon as Mamoru closed the door to his home, he took off his shoes and slipped on his slippers. He had a lot of calling to do and he knew who to start with.

He dialed and awaited the dull ringing that made him feel nervous and excited about what he was doing. If he got her in then he knew that there would be no trouble to get the others.

He paused when he heard the ringing stop.

"Hello! Rei, speaking," a sunny voice answered.

"Hi…" began Mamoru's dark voice.

Minako's vibrant eyes searched around the airport for Mamoru's figure. Her long hair tucked under her hat, she slowly put on her sunglasses.

"Where is he??" All of a sudden she heard loud voices call out her name behind her.

She turned around and couldn't help but smile and laugh in glee.

She started to run towards her friends, excitedly.

She was home.
Hiya! Aha…yes, this took so long. SORRY! I really am sorry for the BIG delay! I really hope you like the chapter, and I'm sorry it doesn't do much justice to the length of time it took me to actually update.

BUT, I have to say that I am unsure of when I will update again. I'm thinking of so many possible endings already but I'm missing all the in between stuff. Haha…well, I'm thinking on writing a few chapters before I actually update, but I'm not quite sure. What do you think, guys?

Also, tell me if you want me to e-mail you when I update. Leave your e-mail address if ya do.
