" Speak"

(thoughts)


The Senshi and Tuxedo Mask appeared in the park a few minutes after they had left the arcade. There they encountered a female version of the Hulk.

"Yeesh, some people watch television to much," Sailor Moon muttered, disgusted with the youma's appearance.

"What was that, you little brat?" the youma yelled, understanding the insult she had just received.

"She said that you are one of the ugliest things that we have ever encountered," Sailor Mars replied with an evil grin.

"For that you will die!" the youma roared and attacked Sailor Mars with green liquid. Sailor Mars quickly jumped out of the way as the plants where she had been standing melted.

"What the?" Sailor Mars said as she watched the plants quickly disappearing until nothing remained.

"Everyone be careful, her attacks consist of hydrochloric acid," Sailor Mercury said after some typing on her computer.

"Hydro- what?" Sailor Moon asked with enormous eyes, turning her attention towards Sailor Mercury.

"Look out!" the girls yelled, but before anyone could react, Sailor Moon was carried to safety by Tuxedo Mask. Where she stood seconds ago, the acid melted a hole in the asphalt.

(Thank you, Mamoru,) Usagi said with a tender smile towards the man that held her close.

(You're welcome dear. But please be careful, okay?)

(I promise!) Usagi said and turned her attention back to the youma. "For disturbing the peace and trying to destroy this beautiful park you will be punished in the name of the Moon," she said and prepared her attack. Before she could throw the tiara she had to jump out of the way as more acid came flying towards her. "Stand still so I can hit you," she muttered, dodging and jumping to avoid the youma's attack. The others girls tried to hit the youma, as well, but she seemed to have arms like an octopus; attacks were thrown in every possible direction only seconds apart.

"If that is what you need, maybe I can help," Tuxedo Mask said and threw a rose towards the youma. It hit the youma in the head and she froze instantly. "Now, Sailor Moon!"

"I'm on it," Sailor Moon muttered before throwing her tiara towards the youma. "Moon Tiara Attack!" The youma had time for a final scream before it was dusted. "Yeah!" Sailor Moon yelled happily before being silenced with a quick kiss from Tuxedo Mask. (Please don't kiss me in public, Mamoru. Remember this mornings Newspaper?) Usagi said and reluctant ended the kiss.

(Sorry honey! I forgot!) Mamoru replied and stepped a few steps away from Sailor Moon. It was in the nick of time because the photographers appeared seconds later and started to take pictures and yelling questions.

"Sailor Mercury if you will?" Sailor Jupiter sighed and tried to make her way from the photographers without hurting any of them.

"Huh?" Sailor Mercury said before suddenly realizing what Sailor Jupiter meant. "Oh!" She raised her hands and called for her powers: "Shabon spray!" Instantly the area was covered in a thick fog, and when the fog cleared there was no trace of the Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo Mask.


They were gathered at the Hikawa Shrine a while later.

"So, Cape Boy. Time for explanations," Rei demanded.

"Don't call me that. I'm not Batman, okay?" Mamoru muttered, offended.

"Well, you are a boy and you have a cape. What else should we call you?" Rei replied with a teasing voice.

"Why not Tuxedo Mask which is my pseudonym?" Mamoru sarcastically suggested. (Do I look like Batman?) he asked Usagi with a little depressed voice.

(Well, no. Relax honey! This is Rei. You should know what she is like. After all, you dated her for a while,) Usagi said.

(You're not angry about that I hope?) Mamoru asked with a little hesitation.

(Not anymore. I was when you dated her, but I could never figure out why,) Usagi said, deep in thought.

(Maybe it was because you were interested then, but didn't realize it?) Mamoru suggested with a smile.

(Well, that could be it. I have always thought that Rei was beautiful,) Usagi mused with a teasing voice.

(What? You like Rei?) Mamoru pretended to be offended and pouted. The other girls had been watching the 'silent' couple tried to figure out what was going on.

"Don't tell me that you are speaking mentally again?" Ami accused angrily.

"Well..." Usagi said with an apologetic smile.

"That is very rude, you know," Makoto said with a curious voice.

"Give girl, what were you discussing and why is Mamoru pouting?" Minako asked with an eager voice.

"It's none of your business," Mamoru replied with a teasing voice.

"Maybe we should kill him for keeping secrets from us?" Makoto said, cracking her knuckles.

"That is a good suggestion. Any ideas?" Rei asked the others with a mischievous smile.

"Well I have one . . . but . . ." Ami said.

"But what?" Minako said with an eager tone.

"The problem isn't committing the murder, it's getting rid of the body," Ami said with a serious tone.

"Are they really your friends, dear?" asked Mamoru with a shocked voice.

"I think they are, and my best friends would never kill the man that makes me happy. Would you?" she asked her 'friends' with a threatening voice.

"No, of course not Usagi. We would not kill him. We can torture him instead," Makoto said with an evil smile.

"I'm not afraid of you. You can't get a thing out of me by threatening me with torture," Mamoru said with an arrogant voice.

"You wanna bet?" Minako said with one raised eyebrow.

"Please stop it. You are acting like children," Usagi sighed. Rei raised an eyebrow and was going to respond, but Usagi interrupted her. "Don't you dare!" she hissed, and one look at her convinced Rei that it wasn't a good time to tease her friend.

"If you don't tell us what we would like to know you will be punished with the worst torture a man could possibly imagine," Minako said with a threatening voice.

"And what would that be?" Mamoru asked with one raised eyebrow.

"A weekend with all of us girls..." Minako was interrupted before she could finish the sentence.

"That doesn't sound like a punishment. A weekend with five beautiful girls? It sounds like a reward. Ouch!" Usagi elbowed him in the ribs. "What was that for, dear?" he asked with a painful moan.

"Just a reminder that you aren't allowed to flirt with anyone else besides me," Usagi said with a threatening voice.

(You know that I love you and only you, dear. I wouldn't dream of flirting with anyone else. I was just trying to lighten the mood a little. After all, your friends threatened me with torture. You aren't angry with me, are you?) Mamoru said with a cute little pout.

(I'm sorry Muffin. You are forgiven,) Usagi said and kissed him on the chin.

"All right, that's it! Now Mamoru is pouting again. You're speaking mentally again. Arggg! It's so rude to leave us out of the conversation. Now, he defiantly deserves a punishment," Ami said with an eager tone.

"I was going to reveal my suggestion of a punishment, but I was interrupted," Minako said with a pout.

"Give girl! Let inquiring minds know," Makoto said with a curious voice.

"Yeah, please tell us," Rei said with a pleading voice.

"All right! Here is my suggestion: A weekend with all of us girls in a shopping centre, assisting in any way possible," Minako said with an evil grin.

Mamoru paled visible and stuttered. "But Minako, if I would accompany you on your girl-shopping-trip I would ruin it. You don't want a boy with you, would you?" he asked pleadingly, trying to avoid a fate worse than death. (Usagi, a little help, please?)

(I think it is a rather good idea. I could need a little help to carry all of the bags.) "It is a splendid idea!" Usagi said aloud with a big smile.

"Oh, don't think that you can escape without any punishment Usagi," Rei said with a threatening voice.

"What do you mean Rei?" Usagi said with a little pout.

"We want to know what you were talking about a few minutes ago. We want to know how your father reacted to the newspaper this morning and we want to know every little detail of what was REALLY going on in your bedroom yesterday before Makoto called," Rei said with an evil grin.

"And we want to know all about this mind-link," Ami added with a curious voice.

"And if I refuse to tell you?" Usagi asked.

"Then we will convince Motoki to ban you from the Arcade for a month," Minako said with an evil voice.

"WHAT? That's so unfair, guys!" Usagi wailed loudly.

"And your crying will not change our minds," Ami stated.

"The Negaverse is nothing compared with you!" Usagi sobbed, terrified that they could even suggest it.

"Tell us or we will call Motoki," Minako said and picked up the phone with a threatening voice.

"He wouldn't!" Usagi said.

"I think he would be glad to avoid your company for a while. After all, you kissed him, which made him get in a lot of trouble with Reika," Rei said.

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot! I guess he would be glad for an excuse to ban me from the Arcade right now."

" So Usagi, banned from the Arcade or tell us everything?" Minako asked and started to dial the number to the Arcade.
