Everything was laid out and everyone had collaborated to make sure this went perfectly. Mamoru had called Usagi and asked her out to dinner that Saturday. Makoto had spent hours looking over the best restaunts for them to eat at, until finally settling with a small quaint restaurant. Minako went shopping looking for the best outfit for him, although Mamoru really just wanted to wear his green jacket(AN: Sorry, but I hate the jacket, no offense to anyone) but had to be reminded how last year or probably century it was. Minako had finally settled with simple white shirt with a black leather jacket and faded dark jeans. Haruka had leant him a sweet new car and Michiru had spent a whole day at the mall milling through all the cologne to find the best one for him to wear. Rei just spent the whole time praying to the Shinto gods that Usagi would stay with Mamoru and Ami did some research on Hikaru.

Finally the big night came. Mamoru checked his outfit to make sure there was not a single piece of dirt on his outfit. After putting it on, he gave himself a spritz of cologne and consulted the mirror to make sure not a single hair was out of place. Mamoru drove over to Usagi's house his new and borrowed sports car and knocked on the door, hoping to see Usagi's smiling face. But instead Usagi's mother greeted him.

"Oh, hello Mamoru. I'm guessing you're here to pick Usagi up. She should be up in her room."

"Thank you, Mrs. Tsukino." Mamoru said with a quick nod as he walked up the steps to Usagi's room.

Mamoru hadn't been to Usagi's house that often, due to fear of her father who thankfully wasn't home that night, but he could easily recognize which one was her room. Usagi had a little signed held up on her door with her name and a little bunny on it. Mamoru walked up to the door, took a deep breath out of nervousness. He was about to open the door when he heard his least favorite voice behind to door.

"Ok, try this. Would who win in a poetry read off: Homer or Shakspeare?"

"I dunno. I think I would have to say Shakspeare. I find his works so much more moving than Homer. Honestly, I think Homer gets boring after a while(AN: Never finished reading Homer's works. I love Shakespeare. " Usagi replied.

Mamoru had never thought of asking Usagi these type of questions. He never thought Usagi was much of an intellectual. How could he have been so stupid?

"Ah! Keep it together Mamoru! You can do this."

He opened her door and stepped inside. Usagi was laying on her bed while Hikaru was sitting on the floor leaning against the bed, each had a laptop in hand.

"Oh! Mamo-chan!" Usagi yelped as she jumped off the bed and ran over to hug him.

Mamoru gave her a kiss on the cheek and asked, "Are you ready to go?"

"Of course I am," She replied, "Are you sure you won't mind staying home alone tonight, Hikaru?"

"Course not. It's only one night. Besides I gotta send a couple emails out tonight anyway. Go ahead and enjoy yourself." He said as he waved his hand motioning them to go.

Usagi was astounded when she saw the sports car, "When did you get this?"

"Borrowed it from Haruka. I only want the best for my Usako, even the best cars."

Usagi giggled. "You don't have to go that far."

"Oh but I do," Mamoru said as he leaned over to kiss her. Usagi lips were so warm but Mamoru couldn't get the idea out of his head that they might have been warmed by someone else. But still, Mamoru continued to kiss her until the light turned green.

When they arrived at the restaurant Usagi said, "Oh wow, this place is soo cute. Where did you find this place?"

"I did some research. I wanted to find the place you would like best."

As they sat down to dinner, Mamoru order a glass of wine and a steak. Usagi on the other hand had a small spaghetti alla carbonara with a coke. After ordering, they were finally left alone.

"So...?" Mamoru said unsure what they should talk about.

"So how's school been?" Usagi said, trying to clear the temporary silence.

"Good. Should be graduating school. What about you and your school work?"

"Mamo-chan, I'm me."

"True, true." Mamoru looked down ashamed for asking such a stupid question. But as he looked down he saw on her finger, not just any finger, her ring finger a bright shining diamond. And not a small one, a huge one. It would cost more than all the money Mamoru would make selling everything he had.

"Where did you get that?" He asked.

"Oh, Hikaru gave it to me as a little return gift."

Mamoru just kept on staring at it, then made a huge sigh.

"Are you ok Mamoru? You don't look that good."

"Ok, I'm just going to say this flat out: I don't like you hanging out with Hikaru."

"What are you talking about?"

"I feel threatened when he's around. You seem to like him more, and the more and more I watch you to together..."

"Yea." Usagi urged him on.

"I feel as if I'm loosing you. He offers you so much. You enjoy yourself so much more when he's around. He can buy you so much more and he just seems better. And, I know you like him more."

Usagi could only start giggling. Mamoru didn't get it. Why was she laughing? What was so funny?

"Mamo-chan, you are so silly. Why would you think I would ever leave you for Hikaru? It's true he is rich but sometimes he spends a little unwisely. Hikaru is a great friend and a great boyfriend, but honestly, he's too carefree. He could care less about school or anyone. He spends his entire days just listening to music or goofing off with his friends at the skate park. Besides his relationships, he show no real commitment to anything. Besides, I like you more. You're more serious and commited and plus, you're so more romantic." She leaned over and gave him a deep kiss.

Mamoru smiled. "You really mean it?"

"Listen, Hika's a great boyfriend, but the worst husband. I would know."

"How would you know that?"

"I lived with him for almost a year and a half, I think I would know what he was like."

"You did? When?"

"Well,Hika is from California, and his father is a good friends with my dad and that's how we met. He used to come over and visit every time his dad came for business trips. And one time he asked me if I wanted to spend a year abroad and stay with him."

"Oh. Wait, then why do you always fail English class?"

"So I can stay there. I don't want to learn another language. Eww. Besides I am totally fluent in English. The rain is Spain stays mainly on the plain(in English and that's from My Fair Lady. If you haven't seen it, then stop reading this and go see it)."

Mamoru laughed out loud. "Ah, Usako, you are so silly." He leaned over and kissed her and the rest of the evening went perfectly.

THIS STORY IS NOT OVER YET! If you thought that was the end the you are wrong. Very wrong. I should have the next chapter up by the end of the day. Thank you for reading.
