Targeting the Moon:
It was a beautiful sunny day in Juban, Tokyo; dream weather if you were an Airline Pilot or a passenger. Mamoru Chiba was one such person getting ready to fly, he was on his way to America to study to become a doctor his dream profession. So he took the sunny weather as a good omen, his girlfriend Usagi Tsukino not so much.
Usagi was tired; she had suffered through an awful nightmare last night and waking up knowing that this would be the last time she would see her boyfriend didn't help her mood. Mamoru knew this separation was going to be hard on them; the two had never been separated for such a long period before, at least knowingly not counting the time they had forgotten each other.
He had thought long and hard on how he could make the separation a little less difficult for her, and after talking with Usagi's parents he had come up with a solution. "Cheer up love, I hate to see you so sad," he said.
The girl forced herself to smile, "Sorry Mamoru kun, I'm just a little tired this morning." she said. Mamoru laughed, "When are you not tired?" he said, making her laugh too. "Good point," she said.
The two came to a stop at the boarding gate where in just a few minutes Mamoru would board a plane taking him to the United States. Usagi was happy and proud of him; she knew how hard he had worked to get this far, but deep in her heart, she was still sad. For in her heart she felt she was losing him.
Mamoru looked at her lovingly, "Usagi chan, you have nothing to worry about. I love you and only you." he said. Usagi blushed, "Oh Mamoru, you always have a way of reading my mind." she said, scratching her head in embarrassment.
He shook his head, "Usagi before I go I have something to give you." he said, catching her attention. Usagi tilted her head, "What? Mamoru you're the one going away, I should be the one giving you something." she said.
Mamoru said nothing instead he pulled a velvet box out of his coat pocket, "I know it's not much, but this is my promise to you I'll come back to you." he said, putting the heart-shaped ring on her finger.
Usagi's eyes lit up, "Oh Mamoru kun," she said, hugging him close. "Flight 809 heading towards the US is now boarding." the flight attendant's voice cut through the airport speakers. Mamoru sighed, "That's me," he said planting a kiss on her cheek, "I'll call you when I land." he said.
Usagi's eyes glistened with tears, "Okay, be safe and I love you." she said. Mamoru turned towards the boarding dock, "I love you too." he said and then walked away. He paused and turned to look at her for just a minute longer, memorizing her look to memory. For a split second, he had the idea to cancel this whole thing and stay by her but he pushed that thought out of his mind.
It would be a decision he would later regret, but for now, he hurried on the plane before he changed his mind. Once he was gone, Usagi turned and stared out the window to watch the plane take off. In her distracted state, she didn't notice that someone was watching her.
Earlier:
Galaxia teleported herself to Tokyo, where she had tracked the Princess of the Moon down. She was eager to get the star seed as quickly as possible so she could leave this useless planet. Not wanting to draw attention, she disguised herself as a tourist and headed towards the airport where her tracker told her the Princess was.
She made it to the airport quickly and after sidestepping a group following after a group of boys; she spotted her target. The former scout frowned when she noticed the girl wasn't alone, "Oh great, her prince is with her," she thought in disgust.
Chaos stirred inside of her, "Patience, my dear, you'll get your chance to grab the princess. From what I'm seeing, the Prince of Earth is leaving his mate, which, will leave her wide open for you to take." he said.
Galaxia smiled, "Once again you're right, Lord Chaos, forgive me for my foolishness." she said. The deity inside of her huffed in frustration, "It's foolishness to doubt me." he said.
She didn't respond to him instead she kept a close eye on her target and watched in disgust as the male put a ring on the girl's finger. "What a pity, he's proposing to a dead girl," she thought. "Indeed," Chaos agreed with her.
Finally, after what felt like forever, she watched the male leave; unfortunately, she had to wait for the girl to leave the airport. By the time Usagi began making her way out of the airport, Galaxia was losing her patience. Quickly she followed the girl into the empty parking lot and that's when she made her move.
Present Time:
Usagi walked out into the empty parking lot, not paying attention when suddenly she sensed an energy impulse headed her way. She dodged out of instinct and looked around for the assailant that attacked her.
"Hello Serenity," a female voice came out of the darkness. A jolt of surprise ran through Usagi as she wondered how this person knew who she was, and then annoyance filled her. "Listen, Lady, I don't know who you are but I'm not in the mood to play games," she said.
Bitter laughter echoed through the air as Galaxia stepped out of the dark, "Oh my dear, I assure you I'm not here to play games." she said.
Usagi had had enough and yelled,
"Moon Prism Power Make Up!"
