"But two years? Usagi have you really thought this through? I will miss him too. He grew on me, especially as he grew up, walking away won't make the hurt go away."

"No, but I can pretend it will." Suddenly a nock could be heard on the other side of the door.

"Coming!" Usagi's voice echoed in her apartment, slowly she looked through her peep whole, then flung open her door, "I'm beginning to think you like being wet, Mamoru."

He looked into her eyes, and saw the laughter in them as sighed. "If it means seeing you, I'd go through a hurricane."

"What? Mamoru are you sure you don't have a fever already?" her hand flew to his forehead as if to check. "No, no fever yet, maybe I'm the one whose having problems."

"No, Usako," he paused after using the name Haruka had first coined, "I'm the one who has had problems, stupid foolish ones. I'm here to own up. I promised him I would and here I am," he continued to ramble on, as Usagi's phone rang.

"One second Mamoru, I have to get that," she walked over, and picked up the phone, he paid little attention until he heard a name, "I've already told you Diamond, I can't come out till the beginning of next month, no its not negotiable." She hung up in a huff, muttering something about an arrogant jerk.

"Who's this Diamond character?"

"He's my new boss and he's real eager for me to start, keeps trying to push up my start date. I keep telling him I can't, but will he listen, oh no. I mean I have to put all of Shingo's affairs in order, and mine. That takes time; if I was just going to up and leave I could leave tomorrow. All my stuff is packed, but I have to set everything straight. His constant calling doesn't help. I feel like I've met him somewhere before, but he's been in America since I started and he's never lived in this area of Tokyo so I don't know how I could have."

"You knew him in the past, he was your fiancé," Mamoru muttered without thinking, "that's how you know him."

"What! Mamoru are you sure you aren't getting sick and delusional," he shook his head, "but you just said he was my fiancé in another life. How is that possible?"

"You Tsukino, Usagi are the missing princess Serenity of the Moon and this Diamond fellow is your ex-fiancé."

"Why my ex?"

"You dumped him for someone else. The man who was your soul mate, only in this time instead of being strong the Prince of the Earth is afraid to tell you how me feels."

"What are you talking about? How could I be the missing princess? I'm klutzy, I was never that smart, and I'm the most unregal person ever, is 'unregal' even a word?"

"Stop saying that, you haven't had a klutz attack in ages, you were just as smart as the other girls only you had other things on your mind. And you have one the most caring natures I've ever bet who cares about being regal?"

"Right, that's why you always tease me, tell me I'm ugly and have horrible posture, and that I'm a pig."

"Have you ever noticed I don't do that with anyone else? Ever wonder why you're the only girl I give the time of day to in the arcade. It's not like I notice or talk to any of the other girls."

"Yeah I did wonder, you don't have to rub it in that you have fan club. It's not like I haven't realized how lucky I was that you would even notice me."

"You just what, never thought to figure out why, why the only girl I pay attention to I tease unmercifully? You want me to tell you why?" he looked into her eyes, and seemed to get lost, barely noticing her nodding, "It's because I love you!"

His scream echoed around the apartment, and caused Luna to jump and com out to see what was going on. "You can't, you don't, this is not very nice, and to day of all days you pull this on me! How could you!"

"Shingo wanted me to tell, had since he figured it out, which was after knowing me for about five minutes. Ask me everyday for the first year I knew him, why I didn't ask you out," his eyes had become glued to his shoes.

"You can't mean it," his head jerked up and his eyes glowed blue lightning at her. "It has to be the grief talking now."

He stepped closer to her, grabbing her arms and lightly shaking her, "Why can't you except that I love you? Why is it so hard for you to see, that I love you always have. As you did in the last life, you taught me to live, love and truly laugh. Usagi you are the only person I feel free and whole with, don't you understand? I will just fall apart if you leave, my reason for living will get on that plane with you, and fly away."

"You don't mean this! Stop it! You're not playing fair! Don't you realize what you're doing to me? Getting my hopes up like this?"

He let out a half scream, as he suddenly smashed his lips to hers, pushing her up against her wall, he turned the kiss from harsh to persuasion, trying to make her believe him, slowly he trailed his tongue along her lips begging entrance, which she gave him, slowly their tongues danced, when he pulled away in need of air, she let out a low moan.

"Do you get it now, I love you, I always have. I was just afraid, afraid of rejection, afraid of loosing the people who had become my family. Now it seems I'll loose her if I don't speak," unshed tears glistened in his eyes, and he turned away, when she said nothing. Gulping down some air and trying to keep the tears in check, he spoke shakily, "Well, I told you how I felt and what I know, all I could do. Enjoy your new life, call me if you're ever back in Tokyo and I'm still here." Quickly he turned and pulled open her door; but left a note on her end table before starting out the door, "Good- bye Serenity, I love you now and forever," was all he said before sliding out of her door, and heading toward the elevator.

With tears running down her cheeks, she stared at Luna, "He didn't mean it. It was just guilt about Shingo," she managed to stutter out.

"Princess, do you really believe that? He came here and begged, he even let you see his tears, does that sound like a man who is doing something because of guilt?" Luna's eyes pierced hers, "He really loves you. And there was fear when he heard Diamond's name, I do not believe that he as either Mamoru, or Prince Endymion has faced much that he would fear."

"Doesn't matter, I have to go."

"Wait, princess look, he left something for you," Luna jumped up onto the table and brought her the letter, which she opened and read, as Luna read over her shoulder.

My dearest Usako,

If you're reading this then, you did not believe me. I guess I'm not really surprised. Why would anyone believe that the guy who teased them since they were fourteen really did so because he had a crush on them? But it's true. I love you with all my heart. You have been the reason I kept going through the years. And Shingo did figure that out within about five minutes of meeting me. He believed you loved me too, told me I should own up to the feelings, but I've always been too afraid. But he made me promise right before he died, that I tell you. Well I hope he saw me, but that doesn't really matter. All I really wanted to say was that, I love you and hope you find joy in New York, and I am sorry I was not the person who helped you find your new joy.

Love,

Mamoru, Your Prince

Tears started to dot the paper. As it finally sunk in, the man loved her. He truly, truly loved her. Without a thought to what she had on, Usagi yanked her door open and dashed after Mamoru. She watched as the elevator doors closed, so she quickly dashed to the stairs and ran down them, hoping to beat the elevator down, but before she could even make it down the first set of stairs completely, she slammed into something rather solid, and human.

She started to stumble backwards, but before she could fall strong arms wrapped around her, pulling her close, keeping her safe. "Mamoru?" when she looked up and saw his midnight blue eyes, she smiled and lunged sealing his lips with her own.

Slowly the two disengaged needing air, "Usako? But I thought," his voice trailed off as he looked into her eyes which stared intently into his.

"I don't need to go to New York to find my joy I have it right here, I just didn't realize it. He hid himself from me, but he hid in plain sight, so I could not find him. He is clever, but not so clever, that I will let him walk away from me when I finally have him in my arms," she wrapped her arms around him, and rested her forehead against his, "you're my family Mamoru or should I say Endymion."

"I do not care what you call me, just so long as it is your love," and the two smiled at each other. ((a/n: Yeah I know really corny, but hey it's still cute))

Suddenly a bright white and yellow light filled the stairway and enveloped the two lovers, who even time could not destroy. As the light started to fade the two who had remained in each other's arms stared at each other. Mamoru had become Endymion, standing in his armor, complete with his sword and a golden crystal hanging from a chain around his neck and Usagi stood as Serenity, her dress flowing out, with her crescent moon on her forehead glowing, around her neck on a chain the Silver Imperial Crystal, and on her back her white wings.

"It has been too long my love," Serenity's soft voice reached Endymion's ears causing him to smile.

"No, it has been just long enough; the lesson has been learned. This means I believe that we have a solar system to rule," he smiled at her, "and maybe one planet to forgive, while awakening the others."

"Earth has been punished enough. Let's go and set things to right." The two held hands and phased to a mountain over looking Tokyo. Before they could start anything though eight sailor soldiers surrounded them smiling.

"All will be alright Pluto, I told you we could count on them," Saturn's voice called across the circle.

"You were right as usual Saturn, I am very proud you." The youngest senshi blushed at the compliment given her by the eldest.

"It's nice to know one of my scouts has faith in me."

"We all had faith in you princess, and you as well prince, we were just grateful that it went so smoothly."

"While this is lovely chatter, girls, I do believe we have several planets to awaken, and one to release from punishment," his voice gently calling them back to the job at hand.

"Right you are Endy. Well let's get this over with girls. You know the drill, hold hands and circle up." The senshi did as instructed and held hands, each glowing her planet's color, as the two in the middle, held hands and allowed their crystals to float in between them, suddenly ten voices cried out.

"Mercury Planet Power"

"Mars Planet Power"

"Jupiter Planet Power"

"Venus Planet Power"

"Neptune Planet Power"

"Uranus Planet Power"

"Pluto Planet Power"

"Saturn Planet Power"

"Silver Imperial Crystal Healing"

"Golden Crystal Protection" ((a/n: yeah i made that up... sorry did not know what else to do))

As the ten who stood on the mountain top channeled their powers, they slowly became statues; slowly time would crawl on as they continued their process of healing Earth and awakening the other planets. Many legends were made about the ten, though none quite as spectacular as the truth, and none dared think of harming them in anyway. Then suddenly as the whole world was welcoming in the thirtieth the ten statues did something amazing…

The End

I know cliff like ending is annoying, but I think that's the only way to end this one… I really only meant it to be a one part fling….
