~ Change Me ~

NOTE: The setting for this story is when all the inner and outer Senshi are present. The Starlights will arrive throughout the story, but Mamoru and Usagi still don't get along and they don't know each other's identities yet. The Senshi do know that Usagi is the Moon Princess. Sorry for the juggling but it just fits this way.

Chapter One

The Change

***Usagi's POV***

I ran into the arcade as usual, I actually didn't get detention today. That was a BIG surprise. I didn't tell the others though, it was safer that way - and I could spend some time alone. How wrong I was.

Mamoru was sitting at the bench talking to Motoki, I didn't expect to see him here this early. I trotted up to the counter smiling at Motoki; he grinned back at me and winked. Once he had given me my milkshake, I drank away. Mamoru must have thought that I was completely oblivious to the shocked look he was giving me, but I wasn't - and I don't think he realises just how much that hurts.

"Odango! You're going to make yourself sick! Can't you be more lady-like?" Mamoru stared at me wide-eyed.

"Go jump off a cliff baka." I stated calmly. "I don't have time for your crap." I was surprised at how calm I sounded.

I stood up and moved over to a booth with my milkshake, and pulled out a little pink notebook. I had a list of things that were going to change from tomorrow, and I'd already gotten some of them planned. I scribbled and added to the list.

List:

1. Martial Arts Academy (4pm at Sky Temple on weekdays)

2. Assassin classes (3am weekdays at Sky Temple)

3. Computer classes (6pm Tuesday)

4. Princess Academy (6pm Thursday)

5. Ice-skating classes (4pm Sunday)

6. New wardrobe

7. Re-decorate bedroom

I smiled slightly to myself; I was going to change - drastically. I sighed, 'I know they didn't mean to be nasty, but they really hurt my feelings. I'll just pretend like I never heard them, I know they were only trying to do what's best for me…'

***Author's POV***

Mamoru glanced at Motoki, questioningly. The blonde just shrugged and watched as Usagi scribbled something down in a little pink notebook.

"I wonder what she's writing." Motoki grinned. "Maybe she's writing a love letter to her boyfriend."

This caught Mamoru's attention. "Odango? Have a boyfriend?!" He laughed. Motoki raised an eyebrow at Mamoru and shook his head.

Usagi glanced up at the clock and abruptly left the arcade, it was 4.30pm and she had some shopping to do since it was Friday! She grinned, she knew that she technically wasn't allowed to but she pulled out the silver crystal and skidded into an alleyway.

"Card of money, unlimited wealth. Appear and solidify, belong to me. Release!" Usagi chanted to her crystal. She had overheard Luna speaking in her sleep about being able to acquire things from the crystal by chanting a 'spell'.

A swirl of golden light began to appear infront of Usagi once she had finished chanting, and it was slowly taking shape of a golden debit card with her name on it. '3486', these were the numbers she heard, 'that must be the password' she thought happily.

Usagi reappeared from the alley and headed to the shops with her newfound wealth. She had taken the liberty of cleaning out her room early that morning; all of her furniture was quietly disposed of. First, Usagi headed to the furniture store. After much debate, she settled for a mahogany vanity table that caught her attention when she had walked in. A rich mahogany bed with pearl-white silk curtains around the perimeter, and a mahogany desk large enough to fit the new computer and study things she was going to buy. She payed for her new furniture and asked the salesman to deliver it to her house tonight, her parent's were out for a few days to see a friend and they had taken Shingo with them.

Usagi exited the store and walked further down the street until she came to 'Kings and Queens', a very expensive clothes store that also sold bed linen and pillows. The young blonde grinned ear to ear, she had always loved this shop. Usagi started to pace the shop, buying a pearl-white teddy-bear fur blanket with two matching pillows. She continued around the store and purchased a short denim skirt, many mini skirts, jeans and faded jeans, dresses and shirts galore. By the time she had finished she had spent $7000. She again asked the salesman to deliver her things to her house, due to the fact that there were too many bags for her to carry.

She sprinted out of the shop and headed lastly to the computer store and purchased the best laptop, fancy mobile phone, computer, printer, scanner, heaps of software, a home computer with Internet and a Pocket Computer. The clerk immediately sent the items to her home. Usagi left the store and headed straight home where she was greeted by the delivery boys from the different shops.

"Hi! In this way please." She unlocked the door and showed them to her now empty bedroom. "Just put the clothes on the floor in the walk-in wardrobe." She continued to show them where to put the bed, desk and vanity table then led them out the door and thanked them.

She had put all her old clothes and things in the spare room until all her new things were in. Usagi went into her room and quickly made her bed, and put all her new clothes away. She continued to place the computer on the desk and set it up with the printer and scanner. Her school bag was placed on a silver hook on the side of the desk, and she placed the mobile on the corner of her desk and put the Pocket Computer or Organiser in her bag.

"I'll just sort through my old things and see what I want to keep. Then tomorrow I can buy my make-up and heaps of things for my Duchess table! I have to get heaps of books and notebooks and journals for my study and stuff too, I'll need heaps of informative books to fill up that beautiful mahogany bookshelf I forgot I bought!" She giggled as she realised she was talking to herself.

Usagi let herself into the spare room and began sorting through her old clothes and toys. After an hour had gone by she had put one third of her old clothes back into her wardrobe with her new ones, and placed some of the toys into boxes and placed them on the high shelf in the walk-in wardrobe. The clothes and toys that she didn't want to keep, she put into large bags and took them to the nearest dump.

It was 8pm when she finally crept into her new silk pyjamas. It was partially see-through and it was a mini dress with spaghetti shoulder straps, it was a pearl-white to match her fluffy bed. She gently slid into her fluffy bed, and fell into a peaceful sleep.
