Chapter Four: The Doppelganger Plan Part 1

Usagi entered her bedroom and flopped down on her bed. 'That amusement park was so fun,' she said to herself as she snuggled with the stuffed rabbit Haruka had won for her at the ring toss.

"Michiru-san is soo lucky to have such a wonderful partner like Haruka," Usagi rolled over and curled up like a ball. 'Was Mamo-chan ever like that with me?' she thought as her mind reminded her of the times when they were together. Mamoru was either reading or staring off into space. 'I guess I really was annoying him all the time.'

Her thoughts were broken as her cellphone began to ring. Usagi pushed her new stuffed toy aside and grabbed the device off her desk. "Hello?" her voice sounded like a chipper teenage girl who had just received her first kiss.

"Usagiii-chaan," the voice on the other line sounded dark and evil. "I know you're secret."

"Gah! M-minako-chan!" Usagi yelped. "W-what secret?"

"Meet me at the Crown Cafe," Minako's voice still sounded dark and evil.

Before Usagi could answer back, Minako hung up. Usagi started to think this was a bad idea, but grabbed her jacket and purse anyway and headed out the door. Once she had arrived, she spotted her blonde friend at a table near the back.

"Minako-chan," Usagi felt a little nervous.

"Sit down Usagi-chan," Minako sounded like one of those bosses that calls you into his office to discuss a serious situation. She even had her hands in the perfect position, folded across her face, covering her mouth.

Usagi swallowed hard as she slowly sat in the booth across from her friend. She sat for a moment, hoping Minako would start the conversation again. However, Minako was silent herself and continued to stare at Usagi.

"Uh... Minako," Usagi finally broke the silence.

"Usagi-chan," Minako interrupted. "How long have we been friends?"

Usagi blinked at Minako's strange and confusing question. "Um... about five years now. B-but it seems a lot longer."

"And best friends don't keep secrets from each other right?" Minako sounded so serious.

Usagi started to feel very nervous. "Uhh... I guess so. Why? Do you have a secert Minako-chan?"

"I don't," Minako shot Usagi a glare. "But you do!"

"Me?!' Usagi cried. 'What secert?!"

Minako slammed her hands down on the table and got in Usagi's face. "Don't play dumb! You dumped Mamoru because you have a secert boyfriend don't you?!"

"W-what?" Usagi was already playing dumb.

"I saw you and another boy today. And I followed you two to the amusement park. Why are you cheating on poor Mamoru?" Minako lowered her voice.

Usagi shook her head. "It's not like that. Mamo-chan broke up with me again. Something happened to him a couple of days ago and he dumped me." her face then became sad. "He told me it was because he doesn't love me anymore, but I can tell he's lying. I'm trying to find out the truth. But he just pushes me away."

"So you still love him then?" Minako asked calmly.

Usagi nodded.

"Then who's the new guy you're with?" Minako asked again.

"Well... its kind of a long story," Usagi replied.

"Spill," Minako said leaning forward in her seat.

Usagi explained to Minako about the crazy plan her and Haruka had come up with. Usagi told her about passing out in front of the arcade and Haruka taking her in. Then going to the park and then Haruka changing her appearance so that Mamoru wouldn't recognize her. And changing her name to Haruto.

"So the guy you saw me with was really Haruka-san," Usagi said as she sipped the water the waiter had brought to the girls. "I bumped into Mamo-chan at the amusement park, he works there now, and he almost figured out our plan."

"Did you find out why he dumped you?" Minako asked.

Usagi shook her head. "No."

"You must've done something really bad to him then," Minako said.

"But I didn't do anything!" Usagi frowned at Minako's remark.

"Well, if you still want to find out, I'll help you," Minako gave Usagi a grin.

"H-help?" Usagi asked. "How?"

"How about I pretend to be you and I'll try and ask Mamoru why he broke up with you," Minako suggested.

"What?! Minako-chan that's insane!"

"Having a fake boyfriend isn't insane?"

Usagi didn't reply. Minako had a good point. Creating a fake boyfriend to make your ex jealous just because you saw it through a movie was pretty insane. Still, Minako couldn't possibly pull it off. She was a little taller than Usagi was and their hairstyles were way different. Not to mention their tastes in clothing were a little different too.

"But you're taller than I am Minako-chan," Usagi pointed out. "And our hairstyles are different too. How can you pretend to be me?"

"All we have to do is borrow the disguise pen again from Luna," Minako replied.

"She's already against my plan on having a fake boyfriend," Usagi sunk in her seat. "What excuse can I tell her that I would need the disguise pen again?"

"Then," Minako thought for a moment. "I'll ask Artemis for my Sailor V compact again."

"Oh no! Forget it Minako!"

Artemis stuck his head our from the small bag Minako had brought with her. "I'm not giving you the V compact so you and Usagi can spy on Mamoru!"

Minako kicked her bag, causing the impact to reach Artemis. "You're going to get us in trouble if you don't be quiet."

"Ouch!" Artemis cried. "You're an adult now Minako, can't you at least be a little less violent?"

"Ssssshhhh," Minako shushed her feline partner. She then turned her attention back to Usagi. "Don't worry Usagi-chan. The plan will work out." she smiled.

"I've got a bad feeling about this."


"So, you're ok with this?"

"I think it's cute actually. Usagi's turned into a mature woman. I know you'll treat her right."

Haruka blushed slightly. "What's that suppose to mean?"

Michiru giggled. "You're so cute Haruka."

"You know I hate it when you do that," Haruka's blushed turned red.

"So when's your next date with Usagi?" Michiru grinned.

"I don't know," Haruka shurgged. "Whenever she wants to go out again."

"Very gentlemen of you," Michiru began to tease. "But maybe you should take her somewhere where she can get totally relaxed." she began to poke at Haurka. "Maybe bring her here and give her a nice soothing massage."

Haruka's blushed turned red as a cherry. "Michiru!"

Michiru laughed. "I'm just trying to give you advice... Haruto."

Haruka growled. "I'm just pretending remember."

"Mmm hmm," Michiru wrapped her arms around Haruka's waist. "Well, when you get the courage to ask Usagi to marry you I'll attend to the preparations."

"I hope you're joking," Haruka replied. "I'm not in love with her."

Michiru giggled again. Teasing Haruka was always her favorite pastime. "Ok I'm done teasing you."

Haruka planted a small kiss on Michiru. "Good."


"Minako-chan this is stupid," Usagi whispered to her friend as they hid themselves out of Mamoru's site as they spied on the man who was still at work.

"Come on Usagi-chan it's not that bad," Minako replied. "I'll just walk up to Mamoru, ask if he wants to join me on a Ferris Wheel ride and then start asking him why he really broke up with you. What's stupid about it?"

"Gee," Usagi lowered her eyes and glared at Minako. " The fact that we're spying on him at his own job and looking like idiots might be why."

"Ok he's done serving his last customer," Minako watched as Mamoru made his way back towards the food building. "Just stay here and I'll be back with some details for you."

Usagi sighed. "Fine. By the way you never told me how you got your V compact back from Artemis."

Minako ignored Usagi and pulled out her Sailor V compact as she made her way to the girls bathroom. After searching for signs of getting caught, she held the crescent-shaped compact mirror high in the air.

"Moon Power! Transform me into Usagi!"

After a bright light had embraced her entire body, Minako looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. "Wow even my hair is perfect." she giggled and put her device back in her pocket. "Ok here goes."

Minako stepped out of the bathroom and made her way back to the food court and spotted Mamoru at a table near the popcorn stand. She heaved a heavy sigh and began walking towards the table.

"H-hey Mamo...chan," Minako smiled happily and waved at the tall dark-haired man.

"Usako?" Mamoru raised an eyebrow. "I thought you went home already with your new boyfriend."

"Oh... um... he had to go to the bathroom," Minako lied. "We were just on our way out. Are you on your lunch break?"

"Uh... yeah," Mamoru replied. "Are you waiting for me?"

"Yeah I wanted to talk to you," Minako sat herself down.

"Look, "Mamoru spoke. "If it's about your new boyfriend, don't worry. I'm not jealous. I'm just a little shocked you found one so soon."

"How could I not," Minako replied sounding full of herself. "I am a beautiful girl you know."

"Uh... ok," Mamoru was now confused with Minako's behavior. "Are you ok Usako? You look, different."

Usagi slapped her forehead in embarrassment, hearing the entire scene from behind the small food stand she and Minako were originally hiding behind. "Nice job Minako-chan. How are you going to get out of this one."

"Oh Mamor... Mamo-chan don't be silly," Minako tried her hardest to sound like Usagi. "I'm just the sweet little Usagi you know and lov... I mean used to love."

Mamoru then sighed with frustration. "Well then please stop following me. I told you before I can't be with you anymore. You're only hurting yourself if you do."

Usagi started to feel knots in her stomach at Mamoru's words. She wanted so badly to jump out from hiding and ask him why again. But if Minako had a better chance at finding out why, then she would stay hidden.

"But Mamo-chan what did I do?" Minako asked. "Please tell me then I'll leave you alone forever."

Mamoru stood up from the table and turned to leave. "Just go home Usako. You have a new boyfriend now and are happy again."

"Mamo-chan!" Minako jumped up from the table

"Go home!" Mamoru shouted at Minako. "I can't let..." he lowered his voice so not to catch attention. "Nevermind. Just leave me alone Usako. I don't want to be with you anymore."

Mamoru quickly made his way into the employee building, preventing Minako to chase after him.

Usagi's eyes went wide with shock. 'Can't let what?' she asked herself as she peeked out from behind the wall. 'What's going on Mamo-chan?'

Minako sighed and walked back to where Usagi was. "Well, he started to say something, but I couldn't get it out of him. It's sad to think he shouted at you like that."

"Minako-chan..." Usagi started to cry again. "I- I want to go see Haruka-san!" she picked herself up and dashed out of the amusement park, leaving Minako behind.

"Usagi-chan!" Minako called out to her friend. She started at a run to chase after the girl, but sighed with sadness and let Usagi go. "Usagi-chan..."

Usagi cried all the way to Haruka's place. Mamoru's words struck her in the heart again like a bullet. 'If Minako-chan can't find out why, then it's hopeless! Mamo-chan hates me! He hates me!'

Those words repeated in Usagi's mind as she ran up to the second floor of the apartment building. She found Haruka and Michiru's apartment and banged on the door violently.

"Haruka-san! Please open up! Its me Usagi!"

After 3 more bangs, the door finally opened revealing a concerned Haruka.

"Usagi!" Haruka blinked in surprise.

"Haruka-san!" Usagi threw herself at Haruka and hugged her friend tight. "Why does it hurt so much! I can't..."

"Woah calm down," Haruka put her arms on Usagi's shoulders.

"Haruka, who is at the door?" Michiru asked as she entered the living room.

Usagi sniffed hard and saw Michiru walking towards the door. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I-I should've called first. I'm sorry for barging in like this."

Haruka shook her head and picked Usagi up under her legs. "Come on tell me what happened."

Usagi blushed. "But, Haruka-san."

"You came all this way here," Haruka smiled. "You must need to talk about something right?"

Usagi lowered her head and nodded.

"Well then," Haruka pushed the front door open to allow herself and Usagi inside. "We can talk inside."

"Haruka you big softy," Michiru smiled. "You love bringing in little kittens don't you?"

"This one seems to be in some trouble," Haruka smiled playing along. "Maybe we should nurse her back to health."

Usagi's blush grew to a brighter red. "Wha-what? Wait, no! It's ok Haruka-san! I can come back later! I don't want to... I-I mean you and Michiru-san should..."

Haruka and Michiru laughed at Usagi's sudden outburst.

"You're so funny muffin head," Haruka set Usagi down on the couch. "Michiru and I are just playing with you to cheer you up a little."

Usagi frowned. "Hey! That's not funny!"

Michiru giggled and sat down next to Usagi. "Don't worry Usagi-chan. Haruka will be polite. She won't do anything." she then gave Usagi a playful grin. "Unless you ask her to."

"Michiru!" Haruka blushed and sat down on the couch with Usagi and Michiru. "You promised!"

"I'm sorry Haruka sweety," Michiru replied. "You're so cute when you blush."

Usagi smiled and finally let a giggle escape her throat. Part of her was happy she left and came here. The other part was feeling kind of guilty for leaving Minako-chan behind. 'I hope she's not mad at me.' As she finally calmed down and began laughing and talking with Haruka and Michiru, something in the back of her mind was wishing Haruka was here by herself this afternoon.

End of Chapter Four! Yay! Uh oh! Looks like Usagi's in trouble. Find out her and Minako's next cooky adventure in Chapter Five ^^
