Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon nor any other anime that pops out randomly.
AN OMIGOD! I updated after almost two years! It's shocking to note that I have so many hits for this story, but very little reviews in proportion to that. Come on guys, surely you can do better! I like to hear how bad/good my writing is to you so I can improve and produce better quality stories.
IMPORTANT:
OOC may occur, but I'll try real hard to keep them in character for your sake.
The timeline shall always be messed up before she switches back and forth from places. Bear with me.

The Girl In The Mirror
Chapter One
Usagi's Dilemma
By Angel-Goddess
-:-:-:-:-:-
The glossy tiles of the bathroom loomed quickly to meet her face with a loud crash.
"Itai!" Usagi cried out in pain, shooting up and holding her nose in her hands with a whimper. Surely it was bleeding from the impact that it had hit the floor now... She just hoped that it wasn't bent out of shape. Okay, so jumping in like a crazy fool headfirst wasn't a very good idea, but my goodness! She was really in someone's house! It wasn't a dream; she could actually get into people bathrooms and bedrooms through the various full-length mirrors that were hanging off the walls.
A rather humorous scene popped up in her head at the possibilities of having the power to cross into people's homes through a mirror. She couldn't suppress the snigger that bubbled up as her wild imaginative brain conjured up various scenes.
A fat man was sitting down, eating a thick-crusted pizza with meat toppings as his dull eyes bore into the television that featured a couple announcing their undying love for each other. All of a sudden a leg just popped out of the full-length mirror that wasconveniently placed on the wall. The man turned and was frozen in place, unable to do anything as he watched the other pair of the leg pop out. A girl oozed out of the mirror with slick movement and started making her way to him, a smile on her face. The man opened his mouth and screeched, dropping his pizza onto the floor and quivering as she neared. "No! Nooo…! Take my children instead!"
Usagi started laughing like a wild animal, not bothering to quieten her voice until she heard a loud voice just outside the door. She gasped, choking as she stopped her laughter short and hurriedly got up on slightly unstable legs to try and jump back into the mirror. It was a good thing that she tried a dive motion instead of shoving her face in first like she had done earlier because her hands came into contact with the hard, solid, cold substance of firm glass with a loud crack. Her fingers were almost dislocated from the action but that was the least of her worries at the moment. Panic gripped her.
Why couldn't she get back in! This was a disaster!
Hearing the footsteps nearing and the door handle slowly twist, Usagi hastily jumped into the shower nearby to take refuge, flicking the curtains with one swoop of her hand to cover her shaking form from the sight of anyone that might unexpectedly open the door. She held her breath, completely disregarding the throbbing of her nose as she tried to calm her raging heart. She huddled into the corner, forcing herself to quieten despite her nervousness as the person came in and closed the door, locking it.
Uh oh. Not good, not good.
Her sharp ears clearly heard the distinct sounds of cloth dropping onto the smooth floor. Her face burned cherry red as fresh blood ran up to her head. She could literally hear the blood pumping in her ears.
The person was stripping! Argh!
"I gotta hurry, my game's gonna be on soon." A husky male voice rang out from the other side of the curtain that Usagi was sheltered behind.
If it were possible, her face glowed a darker red. The person was a male… and by the sound of his voice, possibly a young male.
Even worse!
Oh, her poor virgin eyes! What would her beloved Mamo-chan say if he knew what had happened?
"WHAT? Did you see him? Was he bigger than me?"
"Huh? Bigger? You mean …taller? Mamo-chan, I don't get it." Chibi Usagi exclaimed, tilting her head to the side in question. Blue eyes wide.
"… Never mind…"
She knew was going to happen next so she closed her eyes tightly and covered her hot face with her hands to protect herself and the unknown male from further embarrassment. Just as she did, there was a clear-cut sound of the shower curtain being pulled to the side.
"Huh! Argh! Wha- why, how… What in the hell?" Embarrassed and shocked, the male could only stutter for a few seconds as she shyly turned away from the voice, her eyes still squeezed shut.
Usagi heard a material being pulled from somewhere and she guessed the man whose personal space she had intruded on had grabbed a towel to cover himself up with. She couldn't help the whimper that escaped her. "Please don't hurt me." She wailed pleadingly. "I didn't see anything!"
There was silence between them for a while.
"You can open your eyes…" was the wry tone in teenager's voice.
Usagi shook her head, "N-no…" she choked out, terrified of what she may see. "… I'm scared...!"
There was an indignant noise, "Scared? I should be the one scared with a random female sitting in my shower!"
"I-it wasn't on purpose, really…" She explained, sweatdropping.
"Just open your eyes, it's okay. Now, how'd you get in?"
She carefully opened one on her eyes to double check that the boy was in fact wearing something. Sure enough, a towel was wrapped securely around his waist. She opened her other eyes and tilted her head, her eyes running up his … ahem, very well toned six-pack chest and coming to a rest on his boyishly handsome face that was accented by oceanic blue eyes. Usagi gulped. Oooh… nice. Hey, what the…! Usagi, you evil girl! Think Mamo-chan ... Mamo-chan… ah yes…Mamo-chan… her eyes clouded over, thinking about her gorgeous boyfriend.
"-listening to me?"
Usagi snapped out of her stupor. "Huh?" she uttered unintelligibly.
The boy sweatdropped. "I guess that means no. Tell me, how did you get in." He questioned once again, curiousity unsatisfied. It wasn't usual to walk into your bathroom to take a shower and finding a stranger curled up in your shower.
Usagi pointed at the mirror behind him and he glanced at it, perplexed. "Through there."
This wasn't getting anywhere. "… Do I look stupid to you?" he dryly intoned.
"No! I swear I came from there!"
Tidus made a move to kneel down next to her.
The towel moved up a little at the movement and Usagi automatically screamed and shielded her eyes with her arm although she didn't see anything. "S-scary!" She exclaimed.
-:-:-:-:-:-
Tidus sweatdropped and looked down at his towel. "Scary?"
He ran his hand through his sandy-blonde hair in exasperation. This girl was rather strange and he immediately knew by her reactions that she wasn't one of his stalker fans as he had first thought. He was sure if she were one of his female fans, she would've probably ripped of his towel by now. He sweatdropped again. Aggressive females these days…
He touched her shoulder and he felt her stiffen. He tried again, "What's your name?"
"U-Usagi…" She stuttered.
"Well, that's a start. I'm Tidus." He introduced himself. This was certainly the first time he'd ever made an acquaintance with someone in a very awkward position that he doubted would ever happen again. "Listen, uhh, Usagi, may I take a shower?"
She shivered and whimpered. "Can I leave first?" She asked meekly, not turning around to face him yet.
Tidus sweatdropped, "Of course you can leave. I never said you had to stay. Now, wait for me in my bedroom, okay?"
When she finally looked at him eye-to-eye close up for the first time, Tidus instantly felt his breath catch in his throat. She's gorgeous…
"W-wait… for you… in your b-b-b-bedroom? W-what are you going to do with me?" Tears started to form in those crystalline blue eyes and Tidus flushed dark red, realizing the implications his words must've caused.
Flustered, he hastily amended, "No, no! No, not that way. I would never do that! We're just going to talk, ok? Just talk. Don't worry."
In a flash, the tears that were collecting slowly ceased and she nodded obediently, getting up shakily with Tidus's help and headed out the bathroom, closing the door and leaving him to his thoughts.
Where did she come from, really?
-:-:-:-:-:-
Usagi fiddled nervously as she sat on Tidus' massive bed. No doubt this boy was rich. Should she run? Or not?
"Now, wait for me in my bedroom, okay?"
She sweatdropped at the scary words. Well, he gave her his word that he wouldn't try anything… but that didn't mean she should trust him straight away. He could be lying… then again; he didn't really look like the type to lie. And her instincts seemed to tell her that she could trust him.
She got up and wandered over to the window, peering out in interest. The sight that greeted her shocked her greatly. "What's all this?"
She wondered if she was even on earth anymore. Where … was she? This place seemed totally alien to what she was used to.
It was just after sunset, Usagi could tell because of the very light orange glow far off in the horizon. Buildings as high as Juuban's skyscrapers towered all around, their lights turning on as the occupants on night shift started to arrive. Looking down, Usagi spotted several high way bridges with busy traffic. She squinted, hang on a moment. Were those cars… floating off the ground? She openly gaped in shock. It was like out of a futuristic story book…
"What's with the shocked look? You think you've never seen Zanarkand before." Tidus' voice rang out amusedly somewhere behind her.
Usagi swivelled around in alarm, as her thoughts were broken.
Tidus, who was dressed in the strangest clothes she had ever seen, closed the bathroom door and peered at her oddly. "What's wrong now?"
The odangoed girl started laughing aloud in mirth. Yellow didn't seem to be much of the boy's colour. It clashed horribly with his nice tan skin. He should opt for a better outfit. "What is that ridiculous thing you're wearing?" She couldn't help asking.
An offended look appeared on his face, "Hey, this happens to be my Blitzball uniform, you know. And you can't exactly talk, have you looked at what you're wearing?" he smirked.
The blonde girl glanced down briefly and blushed pink. She was still wearing her pink pyjamas that had pictures of white rabbits chasing after carrots. "Well… I think it's cute." She stuck her tongue out childishly at him. "And you say, Zana-Zanarkand and Blitz…ball?" She rolled the worlds around her mouth in an attempt to pronounce them. "What are those?"
His ocean blue eyes widened in disbelief at her words, "You're kidding, right?"
"…"
"W-where have you been?"
-:-:-:-:-:-
"Is there any way at all we can get her back?" Mamoru asked, worried sick. Usagi, hold on… I'll save you no matter what it takes.
"There's absolutely no way we can get into the mirror unless we use that 'Bloody Mary' chant again," Ami thoughtfully supplied. Her azure eyes saddened, "But… I don't think Mary would take any of us into her world as she's already seen our faces."
Makoto jumped up, "Hey, I have an idea!" She turned to the raven-haired man, "Mamoru-san, you can do it! You can summon Mary and hopefully she'll drag you into her world too! She hasn't seen you yet, so there's still hope for us to get hold of Usagi!"
"Yeah! That's right!" Minako agreed, a grin cracking her face.
Mamoru immediately nodded in agreement to the suggestion. "Alright, I'll do it."
-:-:-:-:-:-
Usagi felt sick. All this rocking of the boat made her feel so … queasy.
Tidus had decided to take her along to one of his Blitzball games to 'educate' her and just so that she wouldn't be bored just lying around in his house. Though Usagi secretly thought that the real reason was that he didn't want to leave her in his house just in case she destroyed it fiddling with all kinds of "neat stuff". She sweatdropped, recalling what had happened earlier.
"Ooh, what's this?"
"No! Don't touch that!"
A large blast was later heard, soot flying everywhere.
"Usagi!"
"I'm so sorry! I didn't know!"
The girl soon started wailing.
It wasn't her fault everything was so different here compared the normal things back at home. She clutched her stomach, feeling its contents slosh about to the rhythm of the vessel. Up, down, side to side… up, down. Ohh… yuck…
"Hey, you feeling okay?" Tidus asked, putting a friendly hand on her shoulder.
She couldn't help but glare slightly sourly at him. "Do I look okay?"
He laughed good-naturedly, "You look kinda pale."
She groaned and ran to the side of the small boat in case anything happened.
"Just don't get any on your outfit that I bought you." Tidus advised sympathetically, rubbing her back awkwardly with one hand to help soothe her motion sickness.
-:-
Thankfully, it wasn't long until they reached their destination.
"Tidus-sama! Tidus-sama!"
"Uwa! Tidus, marry me!"
"I love you, Tidus!"
"Tidus, teach me how to Blitz!"
Usagi stared as a huge crowd of Tidus-lovers ran forward to the dock to meet him and gush over him. "You're this popular?"
Tidus seemed to puff up with delight. "Why of course, there's not a single person in the world who's never heard of me." He bragged rather egotistically.
She cast him an odd stare. "I haven't heard of you." She reminded him sardonically.
"Well… you're just not with it." He joked, tugging somewhat affectionately at one of the long streamers of her hair. She scowled up at him and he grinned down kindly. "Come on, we're off to the stadium. You're gonna love it!"

Liquid Ice – Planet Ladder? I haven't heard of it actually, but if you can explain to me what it is or send me pics of the guys… I think we could make a little deal. Ahahah…! Yes, I definitely will have Setsuna change his ways. It's just … disgraceful -gags- … sinful too.
Allyna – Omigosh, what perfect ideas, I haven't even thought of crossing this with DNAngel, but I have another story plot in mind that will end up being a DNAngel/SM crossover. It'll appear soon… maybe… if all goes to plan. Oh, and Spiral! I've heard of it and the bishies are just to die for! But sadly, I need to know that anime's plot to do a crossover. –Pouts- If I knew what Spiral's plot was, I wouldn't hesitate to release a story featuring Usagi in the Spiral world!
Duos-Bunnie – Hehe! Kyou's my fave too! He'll appear soon enough!
Ancient-Legend – Haha, really? So you've heard of the Bloody Mary urban legend then. Heh! Baby blue? Nope, never heard of that. Doesn't sound as scary as Bloody Mary though.
Bunnie Mouri – Usagi come of Farfarello's mirror? Oh goodness, that's a horror story on its own. Lol! FFIX? Never heard of that one.

Usagi Asia Maxwell – Hello! Haven't heard from you in a while! Saiyuki? Hmm, I dunno, I've only ever seen the movie, and I didn't understand it. –sweatdrops- If you give me more of a detailed background of it, I might consider sticking Usagi in there for a little adventure.
ArikaMorance – Ahaha, sorry you're wish wasn't granted for a while. But hey, this is an update, yeah? Thanks for reviewing!
Sakyri – You're right! So many good stories are discontinued! It's so sad. … You think mine fits into that almost elite category? O.o are you sure? Lol.
