Everyone one in the entire arcade was staring at Mamoru. Even people he had hever seen before. Mamoru felt so much pressure land on his shoulder. He didn't know what to do, so he ran. He fled down the steps and into his car and homeward. 10 minutes after he got home he got a call from Rei.

"Nice going Mamoru." Rei retorted.

"Please Rei, I don't need this now."

"Doesn't matter. We need to go get her. Usagi sent a text to a Mom say she left and wasn't coming back."

"So?"

"But Ami thinks she knows where they are going. Get your butt over to my house now."

When Mamoru arrived there, everyone was staring at him. I mean everyone, the inners, the outers, and the cats.

"Uhh, so, what do you know so far?" Mamoru said breaking the silence.

"Well, for one, we know you're an idiot." Luna said.

"Ok, even though we all know that let's get down to business. I have so important matters." Ami said, making sure she had the attention of all of her colleagues to ensure a fight wouldn't break out.

"I tried tracking Usagi through her compact but while doing so a message popped up on my computer screen that said, 'Nice try, Ami'. But after doing some further research on Hikaru I found out where he lives. His father is a wealthy investor living in Laguna Beach in Southern California. He lives in a huge 10 bedroom mansion by the beach and I'm guessing they're staying there. There is definitely enough room. But Hikaru also owns 2 apartments in New York and in Paris so we don't exactly know where they could be."

At that moment there was a knock on the door. Everyone turned around. It was Usagi mom, Ikuko, peeking through the crack in the door. As she walked in, Mamoru noticed her eyes were red. He realized it must've been because she missed Usagi. He felt all of a sudden guilty.

"Hi everyone. I'm sorry to bother. But since Usagi ran away I was wondering if she told you anything."

"No mam, but we are doing everything we can to find out where she is." Makoto said reassuringly.

"Mom, listen." Shingo, Usagi younger brother.

"Not now Shingo. I've got to talk to Usagi's friends for a sec."

"Not like they're gonna help. Unlike them, I know where Usagi's going."

"WHERE?" Everyone screamed at him at once.

"Like I would tell you."

Ikuko shook him furiously. "You have to tell me. Where is Usagi!"

"Will you let me go to the movie with my friends on Saturday?"

"YES! JUST TELL ME WHERE SHE IS!"

"She went back to California, but she's not staying in Laguna Beach. She and Jayden are going to LA for a show and are staying at the Four Seasons.7"

"Jayden?" Mamoru looked at him.

"Duh! Anyway, I got to go. I need to call my friends to tell them I'm comin on Friday." Shingo said with a wave of his hand as I walked out.

"Mrs. Tsukino, we will go to California and get Usagi back, don't worry." Haruka said placing a hand on Ikuko's shoulder.

With a light sob Ikuko nodded and walked out the door.

"Ok. So now we now where she is." Michiru repeated.

"So why don't we get going?" Mamoru said as he stood up.

"Slow down there. How can we get there. We still have one problem." Ami said.

"WHAT!" Mamoru practically screamed impatiently.

"How are we going to afford tickets for all 7 of us, and transportation for Luna and Artemis. Tickets just start at $1,000 each. We need to find another way to get there." Ami urged.

"We could fly using our Sailor Powers!" Minako suggested.

"Do you think we would have enough power, Luna?" Rei asked.

"To get there yes, but back I'm not so sure. We might have to wait a couple of days before we have enough energy to get back."

"So, how about we meet back here tomorrow at 7 pm?" Artemis suggested.

"Tomorrow. Why don't we go now?" Said Mamoru very impatiently.

Rei was getting annoyed at Mamoru. "Whenever he's mad he never thinks straight!" She thought.

"There are 2 reason's Mamoru!" Rei almost yelled, "One, she's probably taking a plane so I doubt she's even there by now. Two, if we're gonna stay there we might as well pack. So let's prepare for tomorrow."

"But I want to leave now. We'll buy something there. Let's just go now. This is between me and her and we need to settle it now." Mamoru retaliated.

"Well then why don't you go yourself. Wait, you can't do that because you need us. So you either do it our way or no way at all. What's it gonna be?" Rei said.

Mamoru lowered his head in defeat. Mamoru wasn't trying to be mean, he just really needed to make up with Usagi and he felt like his insides had been ripped out of his body without her. He needed her and he couldn't wait to apologize to her.

"Ok then. Meet back here all packed tomorrow at seven." Luna instructed.

Mamoru rode home on his motorbike particularly lonely. Usagi's absence was killing him. He felt like he was bleeding inside. It seemed as if everyone he went there was nobody for him. Even the normally crowded streets of Tokyo seemed emptier.

When he got home he packed his most stylish clothes to make sure he would impress Usagi when he got to California. When he had packed all of necessities he laid a picture on top of his things. It was his favorite picture of Usagi glowing with her charm, grace, and utter happiness. When Mamoru fell asleep he dreamt of her, and only her. The way she walked, the way she laughed, the way she smelled. But at the very end Mamoru was set on fire by Usagi. The flames burned and licked him everywhere but it didn't hurt as much as he watching Usagi leave again with him smiling and laughing together hand in hand.

With that Mamoru woke with a start. It was almost noon. Mamoru got up, brushed, and for once made his own coffee. Mamoru tried to relax by watching some tv hoping the news was on. But the first thing that came on was some stupid soap opera. On the screen was a small woman screaming, "So you think you can tell me what to do! What I am, and what I do. I don't think so. I am leaving and never coming back."

The acting was lame but watching it made Mamoru feel like a sword was going through his chest. He could just imagine Usagi saying that. Mamoru was shaking all throughout the day. Flipping through the channels on the tv, making food, his hands even shook when he was reading the newspaper. So much that he had to just set the paper down and read it as it lay flat on the table.

Finally when seven o'clock came to Rei's house. Rei's grandfather was out and everything was set.

"Everyone packed and ready?" Luna checked.

Everyone nodded.

"Ok then stand in a circle. And let's go." Artemis order.

"SAILOR TELEPORT!" Luna yelled.

The flight there was fairly quick. Only about three minutes. Below were tons of sparkling lights and then just the ocean. No one talked, everyone was concentrating on their energy to make sure they landed in the right spot.

They arrived in a small alley in the middle of LA. They grabbed their luggage and forgot to change back from their Sailor form. As they walked out into the street several people looked at them but not really. In LA the unusual was usual. For a moment the entire group looked around in awe. But then they realized, they didn't know what to do next.

Mamoru tapped a girl on the shoulder hoping to ask her where the Four Seasons(my mom's fav hotel) was. "Excuse me." He said with a slight acccent.

The girl turned around and shoved his hand off. "Don't even try hitting on me. Just because you're in some fancy monkey suit and you have some stupid french accent means I'm gonna even care about what romantic trash you have to say. Besides, don't you know capes are so last century." She turned around and her last word to him was, "Retard."

"OMG! We forgot to change back. Turn around and go back to the alley!" Michiru screamed.

They had almost lost each other in the crowd and the cats were almost kicked over. After a moments talk they decided they'd just take a cab to the Four Season. They took two different cabs, one of which wouldn't allow the cats because of allergies.

As Ami looked out the window her jaw almost dropped. "OMG MY GOD! LOOK OUT THE WINDOW!"

Right outside was a huge electric sign with a picture of Usagi leaning against Hikaru, except Usagi's hair was down and in a braid. In huge print above them were the words, "THE RETURN OF VELORA AND JAYDEN CONCERT! ONE NIGHT ONLY! TICKETS GOING FAST!"

Then Mamoru thought of what Shingo said earlier, "She and Jayden are going to LA for a show."

"Was this what he meant?" Mamoru thought.

Sorry it took so long. I've been sooooo incredibly busy, not to mention tomorrow(June 11) IS MY BIRTHDAY! So I should probably have a new one by Friday at the latest.
