"It's broken!" echoed throughout Crown Arcade. Usagi stared at the silent locket and started to cry. Her special gift from Tuxedo Mask was broken and she couldn't do anything about it. She sat there wallowing in her misery until the arcade doors slide open to reveal her genius friend, Ami. The girl of her dreams. "Ami! I need your help."

"Hello to you too Usagi." she sighed and proceeded to sit down next to her pouty friend. :How can I help you, oh master." she quipped.

"Not funny Ami. My locket from," she looked around and lowered her voice a few notches, "Tuxedo Mask is broken. It's not playing the pretty song anymore."

"Oh. Did you drop it or step on it?" she asked sadly. It was a beautiful song and it was a shame it had stopped.

"No. I was just listening to it and---"

"What do we have here? A whining Odango? How original." a deep voice cut in.

"Go away Mamoru! And I'm not whining, I'm sad because my locket broke." she pouted and shoved the piece in his face to prove her point. Mamoru's face turned a delicate shade of white and he gulped a few times, unable to speak. "What?...WHAT?"

"Where did...you get that?" finally burst out and he plopped down on the booth next to her in shock. She scooted away from him a little and thought about a diplomatic answer.

"A really cute boy gave it to me." she finally huffed out. She was about to yell at him to leave when an idea popped into her head. He was really smart and maybe, just maybe it could work. "Hey Mamoru?"

"What is it Odango?" he murmured, not understanding how his gift to Sailor Moon was in Usagi's possession.

"Your smart. Do you think you could fix it for me?" she asked plaintively. He was about to say no when and idea popped into his head. If he said yes, he could take it and give it back to Sailor Moon. Usagi would forget he had it in a few days.

"Sure Odango. I'll take it home and see what's wrong." he calmly stated. She stared at him in shock and lightly passed the locket over. His smile was reassuring and if he broke it even more, Motoki would beat him up for her. Mamoru heaved one more big sigh and left the arcade in a trance.

"That was weird Usagi. He's never that nice to you." Ami muttered.

"I know." she replied. "Maybe he is a nice guy after all."

"Nah" the both giggle at the same time.

(4 days later)

To Mamoru's vexation, no youma had presented itself in four days and the now fixed locket had been sitting in his pocket all that time. Usagi had bugged him daily about the locket's progress and he almost hated lying about his 'sending it to a repairman excuse'. He was actually glad when a youma appeared that night. He had to know why Usagi had the locket and needed to give it back to Sailor Moon. As soon as the monster was dusted instead of leaping away, he grabbed Sailor Moon by the arm and spirited her off to a nearby roof top.

"What are you doing Tuxedo Mask?" she asked, her heart in her mouth. Maybe he would finally kiss her.

"I think you lost something very important to you." he whispered. Usagi's heart clenched and she realized he knew about the missing locket. To her surprise, he pulled the beautiful star out of his vest and opened it. The sweet notes wafted over the roof tops and into the silent night. She stared at in in shock and looked at him curiously.

"I gave that to Mamoru to fix. How did you get it?" she asked innocently. All of a sudden, everything clicked in his mind. The same hair style, being late all the time, even the same peppy attitude.

"Usagi?" he blurted and pulled off his mask. He had always been secretly attracted to both of the girls in his life and now he knew why. They were the same person. "Usagi it's Mamoru."

"Oh my gosh! How did you know?"

"A familiar song gave it away." he whispered and moved to take her in his arms. " You know, I gave that to Sailor Moon because I like her and I tease you all the time because I like you."

"Really?" she asked breathily and moved into his embrace. They had their first kiss to the same song Endymion and Serenity had theirs to. The locket twinkled into the night as Mamoru and Usagi explained everything that had happened to them since the day they meet and kissed just a little bit more. Well, maybe more then just a little bit of kissing went on, but the locket didn't care.

So a little bit dorky. Enjoy. Off to bed and tomorrow, the zoo! I'd love more critique and responses. XOXO and TTFN
