Chapter 3

Usagi sat down on an abandoned park swing set. Her tears fell to the ground as she stared at the ground. All this time, everything she had learned to know and love was a lie. All the people she had built her life around were only figures of her imagination.

'Damn it, Usagi.'

Her muscles tensed as a feeling of pity and sadness took over her. She wiped away the tears as she began to remember everything correctly. She remembered how she would sit in class, laughing for no apparent reason. She would wave to her "friends" all the while people would stare at her and whisper cruel words. She would run away from trees thinking they were "enemies." She buried her face in her hands, she felt so embarrassed. She had no idea then, that there weren't any bad guys. She sighed then lifted her head up to see two figures walking by.

"Haruka?" She cried out, stopping both the figures. Usagi looked at the one she called Haruka, but the person didn't recognize her. She was really a he. Usagi bit her lip in regret.

"What did you say?" His strong voice barked. They both walked forward, standing in front of her.

"Are you okay?" The woman lifted her head, smiling sweetly at her.

"Michiru? Haruka?" Usagi looked at both of their faces, frightened. They looked exactly like the lovers she had known.

The woman giggled, "No, I am Mija and this is my husband Hokio."

Usagi's face was now pink with shame. How could she be such an idiot? If none of her other friends were real, then why would they be, "Oh, I am sorry. I thought you were someone else…"

"That is okay." Hokio smiled while looking at her. She seemed torn and broken just from seeing them, "What is wrong?" Usagi shook her head like nothing was wrong. He stopped for a moment. 'Why does this feel so familiar?' He stared at the girl he had never met before. 'Who is this girl and why do I feel so connected with her?' He continued smiling.

"Would you like to join us for lunch? You look like you need some company." Mija smiled as a feeling of familiarity took her breath away, 'Why do I feel such a need to comfort this girl?' She offered a hand to her.

Usagi stopped for a moment. It would be awkward to eat lunch with these two. She had been very close to the lovers they reminded her of before, but now she felt like she had never even known them. She took Mija's hand and smiled, "I would enjoy that, but I hope I am not getting in the way."

"Ah, of course not," He stopped not knowing her name since she hadn't introduced herself.

"Usagi." She laughed as he shook her hand.

"Usagi, your presence would be a delight for both of us." He kissed her hand politely. Her face flushed and she tried to stifle a giggle.

Usagi stopped and remembered Shingo and that he would come back. If he couldn't find her, he would get in a lot of trouble, "I…" She felt disappointed because she really wanted to go.

"Yes?" Hokio looked at her troubled face.

Usagi shook her head, "Never mind, I can go." She smiled as they began to walk.

"Let's go to the café across from the park, eh?" Mija smiled as she slipped an arm in Hokio's arm.

"Yes, sounds good, is that okay, my kitten?" Hokio smiled at Usagi.

Usagi stopped as memories began to change again. She grabbed her head as the pain shot through as memories of her Senshi appeared again. She backed away from them. Hokio started to grab for her but she slapped his hand away.

"Usagi, are you okay?" A frown flitted across Mija's face.

Usagi looked at them both as she felt tears come back to her, 'Why does this keep happening, why can't I control it, I'm not Sailor Moon!' Usagi screamed in her head then without realizing it she was screaming it, "I am not Sailor Moon!" The memories then faded away. She opened her eyes and looked the pair. Had she ruined her chances to eat with them?

"I am sorry," She began to cry harder, "I can understand if you leave…" She stifled out as her hands covered her face, but instead of feeling the color air caressing her, she felt a warm arm around her.

"Usagi, please eat with us." Hokio lifted her to her feet as he hugged her.

By this time Shingo had heard Usagi screaming, and was now running back to where he left her. He stopped as he saw her wrapped in another man's arms, "I am sorry for letting her bother you!" He frowned as he ran towards them.

Usagi pulled away from Hokio and stared at Shingo. Out of nowhere, anger filled her. Shingo was treating her like a child, like she couldn't do anything on her own without getting hurt, "Shingo, I am going to eat with them!"

"Usagi," Shingo was taken back from her tone, "You can't." He began to take her hand, but she pulled away.

"C'mon just let her eat with us." Hokio frowned at his attitude towards her.

"Stay out of this! You don't even know her!" Shingo barked at the much older stronger man.

"Shingo, go home, I am not a child, I am fucking older than you are!" Usagi pushed him away.

Shingo frowned, "Fine, do the fuck what you want!" He stormed off. Usagi began to regret what she had said to him as he left.

"Are you okay?" Mija smiled at her getting a response of shaking her head "yes."

Usagi turned quickly, smiling brightly, "Let's go to that café now!" She began to run taking both of their hands

They both smiled and laughed. 'Why does this feel so familiar? This girl, she can go from happy to sad in a flash. Why is that name so familiar, Sailor Moon?' They both thought in unison as they were pulled towards the café pulled by Usagi.

'Maybe I can get them to remember. Maybe I'm not crazy?' Usagi smiled.
