Haruka:

"Haruka, go home…please. Hotaru needs you more than any thing tonight. I'll be happier if you stay with her." Michuru said holding Haruka's hand as the paramedics lifted her onto the ambulance. Makoto appeared riding on her bike. She waved to Michuru and Michuru smiled lightly.

"Haruka? I just dropped off Hotaru at Chibi-usa's house. We were just in time though. Chibi-Usa was planning on leaving to the 31st century tomorrow. Of course she promised that she would stay as long as you needed." Makoto looked at Haruka as Haruka peered at the leaving ambulance.

"No need to worry Mako. I'm going to pick up Hotaru now. Anyways, when I had approached you guys back there, it seemed a little tense. Is every thing okay?" Haruka asked still peering off into the distance.

Makoto was surprised that Haruka would ever worry about something that happened between her and the other girls. It only ever seemed interesting to Haruka when it was her (or Michuru) in danger. "Uh….well, you see…..Rei sensed something earlier and Usagi reacted quite strangely. It just made us all…scared I guess." Makoto said looking down embarrassed.

"So do you know what or who it might be that our little priestess sensed?" Haruka asked looking at Makoto now.

"No. I haven't a clue….but I'm sure that Minako might know."

"You should go be with your friends. I feel that this is a personal moment for you guys." Haruka said as she made her way to Serena's home. "I'm going to get Hotaru. Oh yeah, go spend time with Usagi and thanks Mako-chan." Makoto flustered but straitened up. She wondered why Haruka wanted her to spend time with Usagi but she dared not question her.

Usagi:

As she approached Mamoru's apartment, Usagi pulled her key out of her book bag. She hadn't been in his apartment in so long; she was surprised that she remembered how to get there. Usagi opened the door slowly and walked in putting her book bag down on the small table next to the door. After closing the door she walked over to the couch and plopped her self down.

Usagi couldn't help but cry. She well knew that if Beryl was back……Usagi wouldn't fight with out Mamoru. At least with out saying goodbye. She wouldn't let any one get hurt, but she wouldn't let the love of her life go without telling him how much she loved him.

The house was completely dark and Usagi decided to get some rest so she went to Mamoru's bedroom. On his bed lay a stack of letters. Usagi raised an eyebrow and walked over to the bed. She picked up an envelope and looked at the address.

Usagi jaw dropped when she saw who the letters were coming from. Mamoru had been sending Usagi endless letters. Why were they sent back to his apartment? Usagi cried with tears of joy as she picked up the envelopes and set them aside so she could read them. She took a moment to gather her thoughts. Mamoru had sent these letters from New York and the address that he had sent them to was her house. Again she asked her self why the letters weren't arriving correctly.

Her happiness over came her thoughts and she started to rip open the envelopes. The first letter read:

Dear Usako,

I have been doing well and my work is going well. Lately, I have been thinking about you a lot and I realize that your birthday is in a few weeks. I wish that I could be there for your celebration but I have much more studying to do. I promise that I will try and write to you more. Remember that you will always be in my heart. I love you.

Love,

Mamoru

Usagi put the letter down and wiped away another tear. Her birthday had passed like a month ago and she was glad that he remembered. One letter down 4 more to go. Other than the four Mamoru sent her, were the ones that Usagi sent to him and never made it and instead went to his apartment when she had clearly sent them to his estate in New York. She opened the next four notes and read them.

Dearest Usako,

It seems that you haven't been writing me back. I hope that you are not upset with me. Strange things started happening lately. For example, as you know I am at a university and many people just start fainting. I feel that you might be in danger so if you need me don't be afraid to tell me. Again, I love you with all of my heart.

Love,

Mamoru

Usagi realized that people were fainting where Mamoru was also, but as Sailor Neptune, Michuru had awesome stamina.

Usagi,

Things are getting more serious here. I've began to feel weak when I am by myself. But do not worry. I will come home if I begin to get worse. Happy Birthday Usako. I miss you so much and love you more every day.

Now, Usagi was beginning to worry. Why was his happening to him? If only she was there with him…….

My Usako,

I was wondering how you were doing because every moment I think of you. Usako, please write back. I sensed something the other day and it's really starting to worry me. I love you SO much. Please be okay.

Love,

Mamoru

Usagi said to herself 'I love you too'. And then she read the last letter.

Dear Usako,

I'm coming home. To many horrible things are happening here and I want t be with you so that I may protect you. I am taking a plane two days from now. Many people have been kidnapped and many people have had there energy drained. This seems a little to familiar. I love you and stay away from danger.

Love,

Mamoru

Usagi immediately looked at the date of the letter. Surprisingly it was dated last week. Meaning that if he left Friday he should be here today! Usagi heard the door knob being turned and then heard the jingling of keys. She didn't know who it was and quickly hid under the bed. She saw feet walk over to the room and she started to breathe harder.

Then she noticed the shoes. They were Mamoru's. But she stood under a little longer.

"Usako. I saw your book bag." Mamoru said as Usagi heard him but down his bags. Usagi smiled with joy as she climbed from under the bed.

"Mamoru?" Usagi said happily as she put a hand on Mamoru's shoulder (as he was turned around loosening his tie).

Mamoru turned around and smiled at Usagi. Then he put him arms around her waist and picked her up and hugged her tight.

"Usako! I missed you so much." Mamoru said as a tear ran down his cheek. Usagi was so stunned, so happy; she just kept on kissing Mamoru's cheek.

"Mamoru…..I love you so much!" Usagi said as tears of joy ran down her face. Mamoru put Usagi down and looked in her eyes.

"I….I have missed you so much." Mamoru said moving closer to Usagi. Usagi moved her hands around Mamoru's neck and brought his face down to hers. After such a long time she had urged to kiss him. She had longed to taste him lips once again. Mamoru had caught her drift and decided to make the next move.

Mamoru caressed Usagi's face and softly kissed her lips.
