Usagi just stared at her mother with her big blue eyes. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "My husband!? You picked my husband for me?" she asked.
"Well I'm sorry but with the way you're living so far we felt we had to step in! You're lazy when it comes to school so you obviously need some one who can support you and you've been dating a man who is way older than you! So far you're choices have been some what childish," Ikuko snapped not really wanting to deal with her daughter's whining.
Usagi stood up in protest. "Mamo-chan may be older but that doesn't mean that you can choose who I love!" she argued.
Ikuko gave her daughter a sympathetic look. "Usagi, love is a choice. YOU chose to love Mamoru the way that you do. What you feel for him is lust," she calmly explained. Usagi just shook her head and ran off to her room. "Usagi!" Ikuko snapped. "We've got a guest!"
"Maybe if he chooses to love me he'll understand," Usagi responded from half way down the hall. Ikuko sighed and went back to what she was doing.
Usagi sat on her bed and stared out the window. All her thoughts were focused around Mamoru. How she could bare to even go a day with out being around him, let alone of life time. How she could honestly tell another man that she loved him. How this might change her destiny. If they never get married, then Chibiusa would never exist, then the entire royal family would be changed. No that it really matter, she would have to be Neo-Queen no matter what happened and she would still have a daughter, but it wouldn't be the same little chibiusa that lived with her for a while. The same one that she loved no matter how annoying she got. And most of all, it wouldn't be Mamoru's. A tear ran down her cheek as she continued to just stare. Everything they had been through now all meant nothing.
"Mamo-chan," she whispered to herself. Usagi leaned over and grabbed her pillow. She hugged it tightly and then cried into it.
Mamoru sat in his apartment as he stared at the engagement ring. "Three weeks from now. That's all we have to wait for," he said to himself as he smiled.
Luna walked in and saw Usagi throwing items into an opened suitcase on her bed. "May I ask what you are doing?" she asked.
"I'm packing," Usagi answered without even turning around. Luna jumped up onto the bed and stood before the suitcase. "You know how upset you're parents will be with you?" she asked.
"Luna! The destiny of the universe is at stake! How could you even bring up my parents right now?" she asked.
"Why? What happened?" she asked.
"They arranged my marriage," she answered with bitterness.
"You know that that won't change the fact that you still have to take the throne," Luna said. Luna knew how Usagi and Mamoru felt about each other and hated to see them separated, but, she had to look out for her. What was a seventeen year old girl going to do to take care of herself out on the streets? Well, there was a couple of answeres, but she was hoping that Usagi had not come to those yet.
"Can't you just prolong the wedding date until you are able to make the legal decisions on your own?" Luna asked. Usagi looked over and sighed.
"I have a feeling that they have the date set before that happens," she said with sadness in her eyes as she looked to Luna with despair. Usagi looked over her items and then sighed as she closed the suitcase. "Do you want to come with me or not?" she asked. Luna nodded. She figured that if she couldn't get her to follow the rules, that she could at least protect her.
Again, another short chapter, I'm sorry, they will get longer sooner or later. I hope you enjoyed it and please tell me what you think about it.
