Epilogue:
Usagi gasped in shock, was he really kissing her? What was she supposed to do now?
He pulled away soon after that, looking at her intently, then hung his head, "Sorry, Usagi. I don't know what came over me."
Usagi smiled, knowing exactly what was going through his head, and realised one thing – she had not disliked that kiss, actually, she had rather enjoyed it.
Taking a chance, Usagi put her hand under Mamoru's chin and lent in, kissing him again.
"For what?" She asked, grinning, "Am I really that bad a kisser?"
Mamoru had to laugh at her impish tone, "No! Of course not! I just thought… that maybe you didn't…"
Usagi grabbed his hand, and grinned again, "And what on earth gave you that idea?"
---
It was a month after that fateful kiss (well, maybe not fateful, but definitely enjoyable), and Usagi and Mamoru were most certainly a couple now. There had been no more blogs by Mamoru, other than a small entry stating that there would be no more entries.
They were sitting in Mamoru's garden, once again admiring the statue, hand in hand, when Usagi piped up with something.
"Mamoru, I have something I need to tell you," Usagi was nervous.
"Hmmm?" He asked, curious.
"Well, umm.. Give me a moment, 'kay?"
Usagi stood, walking over to a nearby rosebush, looking intently into one of the blood red roses that were her favourite.
How on earth was she going to tell him that she knew about the website and 'Serena'?
Mamoru's eyes watched Usagi as she held the rose, wondering what she had to tell him. She turned, looking over at him, still struggling internally with how to say this.
"Well… uh… you see… this is kind of hard for me to say…" Usagi stammered, nervously, still unsure as to how this would turn out.
Mamoru nodded, in a way he hoped was encouraging, "Take your time…"
Usagi breathed deeply and exhaled, "wellyouseeIknowaboutthewebsiteandyourblog,andtherereallyisnopersoncalledSerena,itwasme."
Mamoru blinked, staring at his girlfriend, completely unsure as to what she had just said, "Say again?"
Usagi decided to try a different approach, she knelt down and wrote in a patch of dirt near her feet, with a stick, 'I was Serena.' And walked away quickly, to wander the gardens til Mamoru worked this out.
Mamoru saw her writing something on the ground, his curiousity increasing hugely; he waited til she stood and walked away, then went to investigate her message.
"I was Serena." It read. His heart stopped. His Usako had been none other than the mysterious, advice giving girl from the internet?
He was dumbstruck. Mamoru sat heavily on the ground, staring at the message.
"You… were… Serena?" He asked the garden, knowing she would hear him.
She walked out of the bushes, and nodded; "It was me all along."
"Why didn't you say anything?" He asked, confused now.
"I was so unsure about all of this, and I didn't want to hurt your feelings by telling you…" Usagi trailed off, looking away from what she was afraid she would see in his face.
Nothing came.
She had expected yelling, screaming, hurt and pain; but there was nothing. Usagi looked back at Mamoru cautiously, afraid of what he would say next.
He was grinning.
Usagi blinked. Something wasn't right here.
"You're not angry that I didn't tell you? Not annoyed about what I did?"
"No. I'm glad you did what you did. Otherwise we wouldn't be here, would we? You're the one who told me to change my ways, be nice and kind, see where that took me. And it brought me here. What more could I want?" Mamoru looked at her, then beckoned her over.
Usagi smiled, and went, kneeling down next to him. She leant into his body and laughed.
"Here I was, all afraid, and you just want to thank me? Is that it?"
Mamoru grinned and nodded, "Yeah, that's about right."
And that's all there was…
