Okay, here is Chapter 3!

Mamoru said to Usagi, "We're out of disinfectant from the front of the store, so I'll have to search through the supply room." He gave Usagi a look.

"Hehe. Thanks!" She said.

Mamoru led Usagi to the back of the store, and he unlocked the storage room using a code on a keypad on the wall. Usagi noticed this.

"Why do you have to keep this room locked?" She asked, curious.

Mamoru rummaged through some boxes. "Because we have so much jewelry stored back here. Actually, the stuff back here amounts to much more than just the jewelry in the display cases." He found the box of disinfectants.

"Ha! There it is!" Usagi said happily. "Now I can go home and watch some more TV!"

Mamoru sweat dropped. "TV? Of course a meatball head like you would love TV." He neglected to mention the 8 hours he watched everyday.

Usagi stuck her tongue out at him.

Mamoru smirked. "How mature."

Usagi said, "hmphh!" turned on her heel and opened the closed door. Ah, or tried to open the door. She jiggled the handle. Nothing happened.

Mamoru noticed the delay. "What, too weak to open the door?" He rolled his eyes, and pushed past Usagi to open it himself. It didn't budge.

Mamoru laughed. "Oh, right. It automatically locks behind you. That way, if a thief gets in here, he can't leave. Naturally, all employees know the code." Usagi looked very relieved that she wasn't going to be stuck in there with him.

He pressed the numbers on the key pad. He waited for the green light, but nothing happened. He did it again. Still unsuccessful.

"Umm, that's not supposed to happen." He said, shocked. "Fine, then, I'll just use the key."

Mamoru searched through his pocket for the key. "Ah, here it is!" He said triumphantly, holding up a key. "Ah, wait, never mind, that's the key to the store's front door."

Usagi shrieked. "Just hurry and find it, quickly please! You're making me nervous."

He searched his pockets. He pulled out money, a key to his apartment, and various receipts, but no storage room key.

"Usagi, remember when you ran into me this morning?" He laughed nervously. "Well, I dropped a few things, and I thought picked them up. But, evidently I didn't. The key must have fallen out, and I must not have seen it lying on the ground."

So they tried banging on the door with their fists. Didn't work. Then Mamoru tried a karate kick. Failed.

Usagi thought, "If I could transform into Sailor Moon, I could get this door down easily. But, I can't let Mamoru know who I really am. It's not safe." She glanced at him.

He was thinking practically the same thing.

Usagi and Mamoru sighed. "This just can't be happening," Usagi said.

"I agree." Mamoru nodded. He slumped against the wall. "I can't believe that I'm locked in a storage room at my work with you." He said. "What a waste of time."

Usagi glared at him, sitting down on the opposite side of the small room. "You think I like being stuck in here with you? I have much better things to be doing with my time."

Mamoru laughed. "Like what, watching TV and eating?" Usagi couldn't get too mad at that, since it was the truth.

Mamoru looked at her. "You know, you never really apologized for running into me this morning?"

Usagi groaned. "We're stuck in here and that's all you have to talk about? This will be so boring..."

"It takes two to tango," he shot back.

Okay, that's all of Chapter 3. You know, I'm not sure how long this story will be. But it probably won't be more than 10 chapters. Sorry!

And sorry about the shortness of this chapter, also. I've just been busy but wanted to update for you guys.

Also, remember, this takes place in Season 1, before they know who the other really is and stuff.
