" Speak"

(thoughts)

Usagi's eyes widened in terror. (Oh God, not now!) she thought.

(What is that?) Mamoru asked curious.

"Honey, why is your calculator beeping?" Ikuko asked with a confused voice.

"My calculator? Oh, that!" she replied with a nervous voice. "It has an alarm inside it," she replied weakly.

"And why have you set the alarm to this late hour?" Ikuko asked.

"I...It was...because...I needed to get up to study for my exam tomorrow."

(If you are going to lie, Usagi, try to find a better explanation. No one is going to believe that you set the alarm because you were going to study. If you were Ami, then maybe. But you; no way!)

(Its your fault, you have messed up my brain with all of your kisses.)

(Why do you blame me? You're the one who is constantly showing off your delicious body. Maybe we should go back to my apartment? There you can do that strip again, but this times no interruptions. What do you say?) he asked innocently.

(Are you insane? How could you ask me that?) Usagi asked blushing.

(Don't sound so revolted by the idea, when I know that you really want it,) Mamoru replied with a passionate expression.

(Not in front of my mother!) Usagi replied with terror.

(I did say that we should go to my apartment. Not here, sweetheart. I'm not interested in having sex in front of your mother. I didn't know that you were so naughty, dear. You really are wild,) Mamoru teased.

(I...) Usagi was speechless. She was too shocked to reply. Her attention turned back when Ikuko cleared her throat.

"And when have you cared for your exams? And why are you blushing?" Ikuko asked with a stern voice.

Usagi didn't know what to say, she wasn't very good at lying.

"You're hiding something from me!" Ikuko said angrily. "What is it?"

"Yes, what is it Usagi?" Mamoru asked, curious.

"Can I explain this tomorrow? I'm really tired now and would like some sleep before it's time to go to school."

"No more excuses young lady. You either tell me now or I will tell your father that I found you with a boy in your room."

"That's blackmailing!" Usagi wailed.

"It's alright Usagi. Tell them!" Luna told her from under the bed.

"Who's there?" Ikuko asked with a shocked voice. She couldn't figure out who could have been able to hide under Usagi's bed the entire time.

Their shocked eyes widened when they say a black cat squeeze herself out from under Usagi's bed.

"Luna?" Ikuko asked with shock. "What were you doing under there?" Ikuko asked, not prepared to receive an answer.

"I hid under there, when you entered," Luna replied calmly.

"She spoke? Sweetheart, how can your cat speak?" Mamoru asked his shock visible for all to see.

"Usagi? Am I hallucinating? Because I thought that I just heard Luna speak. That's impossible!" Ikuko stammered.

"It's not impossible. I have the ability to speak as well as Artemis, Mina's cat."

"The white cat? Can he speak too?" Ikuko asked, her confusion clearly written on her face.

"Yes, he can," Luna said. "But Usagi, tell them so that you can help your friends."

"Help your friends?" Mamoru repeated with confusion.

"Ahm...you see...I'm...kinda...actually...I'm Sailor Moon and has been for the last couple of months. And I have to answer my communicator now," she babbled before grabbing her communicator.

"Moon here," she said, making sure that the person on the other end of the line didn't see her mother or Mamoru.

"Finally!" Sailor Jupiter said. "We need you in the harbor. You know the drill!" She quickly ended the transmission when she was almost hit by an energy beam. "Shit! I have to go now. Hurry up! Jupiter out!" The screen turned black again and Usagi turned her attention towards her mother and Mamoru again.

"You're Sailor Moon?" Ikuko asked with a shocked voice.

"Yes, I am," Usagi stated and looked rather embarrassed. "I'm sorry for not telling you, mommy."

"Is this the reason that you always are tired in the morning?"

"Yes, it is. Are you disappointed that I didn't tell you?" Usagi asked with a small voice.

"Yes, I am. But I'm also very proud of you," Ikuko said her pride clearly showing in her eyes.

"Usagi, you don't have time for this. Don't forget the youma," Luna cut in.

"Oh, right. The youma!" Usagi giggled nervously.

"You almost forgot didn't you?" Mamoru teased, opening his mouth for the first time since the discovery of who his girlfriend really was. He was relieved that she was Sailor Moon. Now he understood why he felt like he did for Usagi. It had bothered him a little how he could be in love with both Sailor Moon and Usagi. Now he saw the similarities between them. (I should have known! After all they have the same personality as well as hairdo and colors. I am not alone anymore! I have someone to talk to about everything. And to have the most wanted super heroine as a girlfriend isn't so bad either.)

(Stop it! I'm not that popular. And what do you mean everything?) Usagi asked embarrassed.

(Don't you realize that you are every boys/mans dream in that short skirt?)

(Do men only think about sex?)

(When a girl wears something so revealing and are so powerful, YES!)

(Men are so strange!) Usagi replied with a sigh.

(Are girls better? Thinking Tuxedo Mask is the ultimate man?)

(That's different. He is!) Usagi said with a dreamy voice.

(Women!) Mamoru replied with a big sigh. (Can I come with you?)

(Are you insane? It's dangerous!) Usagi replied with concern how she could stop him from following her.

"Maybe I can be of assistance in the battle?" he replied aloud.

"You're not coming, Mamoru. I happen to care for you. It's too dangerous."

"Usagi!" Luna almost yelled at her charge. "The battle!"

"Yes, I'm on my way!" She pulled off her golden broach from her school uniform and raised it over her head. "Moon Crystal Power, make up!" she shouted and in seconds she was surrounded with pink light and her quilt disappeared in the light.

(Oh my god! She's naked again. She's so beautiful!)

A stern look from Ikuko convinced him to take his eyes of Usagi's naked form floating in the air. He couldn't resist a second glance though. Her scout fuku materialized before his eyes and soon Sailor Moon stood before him in all her glory. Ikuko quickly sat down on the bed and just stared at her daughter.

"My daughter is Sailor Moon. I really can't believe this. Maybe, I'm dreaming?"

"No, mommy. You're not dreaming. But I don't have time to explain right now. I need to get to my friends now. They're counting on me to help," Usagi said with a serious voice.

"I'm coming with you, Usagi."

"Don't be ridiculous, Mamoru. I don't want you anywhere near the battle place. I would just worry about you all the time."

"I can take care of myself," Mamoru replied stubbornly, and, before anyone could react, he reached for something in his jacket.

Usagi's eyes widened with shock when she saw the perfect red rose that appeared in his hand a second later.

"No, there is no way that..." She never finished her sentence because she was too shocked to comprehend what she saw.
