" Speak"

(thoughts)

Outside, Luna and Artemis watched the scene with humorous eyes.

"This is better than a comedy show," Artemis said with an amused smile.

"Yeah, Usagi sure is in trouble now. I just hope that she doesn't forget that . . ." Luna said as she watched her charge. Mamoru detransformed and soon Usagi's body shimmered as well before her fuku disappeared.

"Let me guess, you were going to say: that she doesn't forget that she only wore a quilt when she transformed to Sailor Moon?" Artemis asked with a big grin as he watched how Usagi tried to cover as much as possible with the quilt.

"Stop looking, you pervert!" Luna said and swatted him in the head with her paw.

"Ouch! What was that for, Luna? I'm not interested in Usagi. First of all, she is human and second: I only have eyes for you. Don't you know that?" Artemis said with a tender smile towards the angry feline.

"Then why do you look at her?" Luna asked with a frown.

"I wasn't looking at her. I was watching everyone's reaction to Usagi's nakedness. I think Kenji is going to..." He never finished the sentence because he suddenly noticed that Luna had walked away in the middle of his explanation. "Luna? Honey? You're not angry at me are you?" he yelled before chasing after her.

Inside of the kitchen everyone had been too occupied to notice the events that had occurred above them. Usagi was desperately trying to cover her modesty and stop blushing. Mamoru was trying not to look and stay as far away from Kenji as possible. Ikuko used force to stop her husband from jumping up and strangling Mamoru. Kenji was busy trying to get loose from his wife's death grip and throwing threatening looks towards Mamoru.

(Oh my god! Daddy is going to kill us!) Usagi wailed terrified.

(Well, this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't detransformed.)

(I forgot, okay? Besides, you detransformed first,) Usagi said with a pout.

(Don't try to blame me. I wasn't naked!)

(You're not helping. Help me figure out what to tell him before he goes ballistic!)

(I don't know. Lie?) Mamoru said with a frightened look at the maniac who still tried to break free of Ikuko's grip.

"Usagi, dear! Could you please explain why you are practically naked?" Kenji said through clenched teeth.

"Well, I was in my bedroom sleeping when the call came from Sailor Jupiter. I didn't have time to get dressed." (Please mother, don't correct me. Daddy would kill us if he knew the truth.)

(Ditto on that! Please accept our lie,) Mamoru said.

Ikuko remained silent and both Mamoru and Usagi gave her a quick grateful look before turning back their attention towards Kenji once more.

"Oh?" Kenji said, seemingly accepting Usagi's story. "Well, why don't you go back to sleep then, Usagi?"

"But daddy..." Usagi said with a frown.

"No buts, young lady. It's late and you need your sleep. We can continue this talk tomorrow."

"All right, daddy. Goodnight!" She said and gave Mamoru a quick peck on the cheek before quickly running up the stairs to her room. Mamoru watched her retrieving figure with a silly grin and his hand over the cheek that Usagi had kissed. The smile quickly disappeared though, when he saw Kenji's angry expression. (Usagi, now you got me in trouble again.)

(Sorry, muffin. I couldn't resist!) was her happy reply.

(Muffin?) Mamoru replied with an amused tone.

(Well, it suits you. I have to have a nickname for you. After all, you call me Meatball Head,) Usagi replied nonchalantly.

(Well, in that case I will continue to call you Meatball Head!) Mamoru said with a teasing voice.

(Hmp!) was Usagi's reply, although she wasn't as offended by the nickname as she used to be.

(I forgive you from getting me in trouble. After all, a kiss from you is worth a little bashing from your father.)

(He will not hurt you, silly! If he does, I will never talk to him again. He knows it, so he wouldn't. But he might yell at you.)

(I hope you're right honey! I really hope!) Mamoru replied as he was on alert to move quickly if Kenji tried anything. "I'm sorry, but I have to go now. I have a big test on Monday morning to prepare for. Goodnight!" he said with a polite smile and turned to leave the house. Before he could go though, a hand stopped him. He turned around, preparing himself for the worst. But it was only Ikuko.

"I just want to thank you for all the times that you have saved our daughter," Ikuko said with a smile. "Kenji is thankful as well, aren't you?" The last was hissed in a threatening voice towards her husband. Kenji gulped and nodded his head in agreement after another look from his wife.

"You're welcome Mr. and Mrs. Tsukino. I love your daughter with all my heart and I would rather die than let anything happen to her," he said sincerely before leaving the house.

As soon as he had left, Ikuko turned to Kenji. "Really, honey, you must learn to control your temper. You're acting like a spoiled child."

"I can control my temper just fine," Kenji growled through clenched teeth.

"I can see that!" Ikuko said and nodded towards clenched fists that had turned white in the attempt to control his anger.

"I just don't want anything to happen to our little girl," Kenji said and forced himself to relax.

"Neither would I, but you're extremely suspicious of every man that so much as looks at her. Mamoru seems to be decent young man, and they love each other. Aren't you happy for her?"

"I just don't want her to make any mistakes. She's still very young."

"Not as young as you think, dear!" Ikuko muttered thinking back at what she had witnessed in Usagi's bedroom.

"What do you mean? What has he done to her?" Kenji yelled loudly before Ikuko covered his mouth for the second time that night.

"Don't wake up Shingo, dear! I just mean that she is 15-years-old, she's not a little girl anymore. Besides, everyone must have the opportunity to make mistakes. It's the only way to learn new things. Besides, our daughter is Sailor Moon. If he ever tries to hurt her, I'm sure she could deal with him! Don't you think?"

"Yes, but the age difference! Mamoru seems close to 20 years old." Kenji insisted, refusing to give up without a fight.

"I don't think the age difference matters. If they consider themselves equals, that will never be a problem. Besides, I think Usagi would have more problems if she was with someone her own age."

"Why do you think that?"

"Well, girls mature faster than boys. Boys her own age would be too immature for her, I think. Mamoru is a mature young man that knows what he would like to work with. He is sure what he wants and how to achieve his goals. I think Usagi will be very happy with him."

Kenji had been silent during her speech, considering what she had said. "He had better not take advantage of her though," he muttered, and that was as closest to acceptance Mamoru could get from him.

"I'm sure he wouldn't dare. Not after the way you acted before." Ikuko said and had to suppress a smile when she noticed his satisfied expression. (I think it's better that he doesn't know what happened in Usagi's bedroom. After all, it's none of his business. Usagi is mature enough to handle this herself.)

Mamoru returned home to his apartment and with a tender voice said: (Goodnight, honey!)

(Goodnight, muffin!) was her tired reply before she quickly fell asleep.

Not long from Mamoru's apartment a newspaper was printed with a big picture on the front page.

"This is going to sell millions of copies!" the owner of the newspaper said with a big grin.

The next morning a loud shriek came from the kitchen. Even Usagi woke up and looked around for the youma she was sure she would see. When she noticed that her room was empty she quickly got dressed and run down the stairs to the source of the noise. When she got there, she saw her father clutching a newspaper in his hand.

"Daddy what's wrong? I was sure that the Dark Kingdom had discovered my identity and had sent a youma here. Don't scare me like that!" Usagi said as she saw that there wasn't any immediate danger.

"This is what is wrong!" Kenji said angrily and held up the newspaper so Usagi could see the front page.

"Oops!" Usagi said as soon as she saw the reason for her father's anger. (Mamoru, wake up!) she said with a terrified voice.

(What is it?) Mamoru replied with a tired voice.

(We're so dead! Daddy is going to kill us for sure this time!) Usagi wailed loudly.
