Chapter 4: Work and Aquaintances

Mamoru pulled up to the Elementary school to drop off five of the six passengers. Kissing Usagi good-bye and wishing her and the kids a good day he proceeded to head to the high school to drop of Serena. After assuring her father several times that she could handle getting to her classes and everything just fine Serena headed into the crowded school yard. It took her no time at all to find Melissa, her best friend from her last stay. The two girls quickly got reaquainted before heading to the office to get Serena's schedual.

Mamoru watched the school yard for several minutes before heading to the hospital to begin his job as a doctor. Luckily for both Mamoru and Usagi their first day of work entailed alot of paperwork and being shown around the facillities. Usagi was to start off as sharing the class of eight year olds with a nice woman by the name of Takashima, who would be taking maternity leave in just over a month. She chattered back and forth with Usagi on how it must have been difficult giving birth to twins, twice no less, while raising her young cousin. Thinking quickly Usagi used the magic of the crystal to assist her in answering the questions of child birth and such. By lunch both were exhausted by the time Mamoru picked her up for lunch.

As they young couple sat in the cafe above the crown waiting for their orders two friends appeared. "May we join you?"

Usagi and Mamoru looked up to see both Naru and Motoki standing over them. Nodding and sliding over the four friends began talking like old times. "It was two nights ago a beautiful woman, looking alot like you Usagi, came to me and asked me if given the choice would i give up ten years of my life to be your friend both now and into eternity. I was of course shocked and confused; but proceeded to tell her that if I wasn't willing to do that then I wouldn't be a very good friend. She smiled like she knew I would agree either way and then explained to me that one day within the week I would wake up in my own appartment with a lunch date. Then after asking me what my dream job was and where I would want to be in ten years she disappeared."

Motoki nodded as Naru finished explaining how she still knew them. "Pretty much the same thing happened to me and then today I woke up with this enchanging red head next to me in bed." he smiled to Naru. "And a note on the fridge to meet you to here for lunch."

"Good, everyone is here."

The four friends turned to see Queen Serenity and Rose approaching the table."Mo..."

"Shh... Usagi all will be explained. First off I am going by just Serenity here and am your aunt. Secondly I will give you all memories of the past ten years to fill in the blanks then you can ask away." Looking to each of the four adults sitting at the table she then did a luna mind meld.

Usagi lived through her dream wedding to Mamoru and upon return from their honeymoon that two year old Serena was orphaned. The long drawn out process of getting custody. Three years later finding out she was pregnant with her and Mamoru's first and then the painful and tiring birth of the twins. Dealing with getting Serena to go to school while the twins were sick with the flu. The terrible twos and then just when they were ending them finding herself pregnant again. The birth of the boys which was so much more easier than with Crystal and Sol. All the while finishing her bachalors and teaching degree through a combination of online and regular classes. Then the birth of little Rose...

Mamoru lived through his wedding to Usagi and upon return from their honeymoon that two year old Serena was orphaned. The long drawn out process of getting custody. Three years later finding out Usagi was pregnant with their first and holding the twins for the first time. Dealing with getting Serena to go to school while the twins were sick with the flu. The terrible twos and then just when they were ending them finding out Usagi was pregnant again. The birth of the boys which was so much more easier than with Crystal and Sol. All the while finishing his doctorate in pediatrics. Then the birth of little Rose...

Motoki and Naru watched as they helped Usagi and Mamoru prepare for their wedding. As the memories flashed of how their shared friendship slowly brought them closer and closer as Rika slowly walked away and then their wedding just before the birth of the twins. The time they had spent helping each other study as Motoki studied to become a surgen and Naru to become a teacher. Graduation day sharing drinks as all four of them had passed. The time spent talking over having children and the problems they had encountered before finding out only a week ago that Naru was expecting and that Usagi ...

Naru looked to Motoki both knowing something that they didnt think their friends knew yet. Then giving a questioning look to Serenity, "All in due time. Now before you are all late I will teleport you back to work. See you tonight at dinner, that includes you two, Naru and Motoki." In a flash Serenity sat alone with Rose. "Soon you won't be the baby of the family little Rosie. But your parents will find that out in about two months, I gave Aunt Naru and Uncle Motoki a little glance into the future." Serenity laughed as she payed the bill and took Rose home for her nap.

Usagi arrived in the classroom just in time for her to begin her lesson on cursive writing. For the last three hours of class she went over the first five letters of the alphabet in cursive then the kanji review for the days of the month and year as well as numbers. Finishing the day off with a reading assignment, Crystal and Sol smiled as they gathered their things before leaving to join their mother outside.

Mamoru had a full afternoon of meeting patients, going over files, and giving booster shots. Finally done for the day he headed for the van to go and pick up his family from the school.

The high school being only a block and a half away from the elementary school Serena had decided to walk to meet up with everyone. She couldn't wait to tell her mom that Naru was her teacher and that Melissa and her wanted to have a sleepover on the weekend. As she approached the school she spotted her mother crying underneath a tree with both sets of twins trying to comfort her. Serena gave a small smile if she was right it was just a normal mood swing that comes before every vist from aunt flow and uncle tom...
