Slowly, Mamoru crept up against the window. He didn't want to wake her, he just wanted to see her before he went to bed even if they just met two hours ago.

Carefully, he lifted the latch of the window. Mamoru suppressed a yawn as he slid his legs into the opening, crawling into the dark room. I really have to make this quick though. It must have been some sort of perverse retribution for rejecting so many girls before her to be feeling like this, Mamoru thought. He was behaving like a lovesick stalker who couldn't even be away from his girlfriend for more than a few hours at a go, even if he wasn't showing his affection publicly.

Maybe he should. Or maybe just consider having a week's worth of dates in the apartment instead?

The dim lights guided him to the bed with her tucked safely beneath the covers. As he moved, she turned and one of her hands hung limply over the edge of the bed. Mamoru crawled up against her bed and grasped at her hand dangling out

Why did her hand suddenly feel so big...and coarse..?

Wait, this wasn't her hand! Frightened, he threw the hand back against the bed and scooted to the side of the table.

"...Mamoru..." The figure against the table froze, eyes wide in shock.

The person under the blanket shifted and grunted. "Nmmm..You are so dead when I see you."

The intruder let out a soft shriek of shock and kneeled immediately as Mamoru realised the voice under the blankets was none other than Usagi's father! His words were jumbled in his head but nothing came out of his mouth. Dear god, if he didn't do something soon he would be dead in the next few seconds flat!

"YES SIR, I APOLOGISE SIR!"

"I'm so going to kill you...mmnnn."

Mamoru panicked and his eyes searched frantically for an escape route. He briefly considered the window again but it would have been too dangerous, putting him in the enemy's line of view. Rooted to the ground, his heart thumped wildly as he kept his head low. Sudden;y, footsteps could be heard.

"MAMORU!" The figure's shadow now loomed over the crouching figure with a dangerous smile. "Young man, it's 12am. WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY DAUGHTER'S ROOM?"

The lovesick man shot up and did a ninety degree bow and stayed in that position. Words choked and spluttered from Mamoru's mouth as he searched for a way to explain himself.

"I'M REALLY SORRY!"

Only after a period of silence did Mamoru dare to crack open his eyes. A slumped body on the floor was all that greeted him. Realization hit him as he considered the sequence of events. He must have had hit Usagi's father while standing up and knocked him out!

Heaving a sigh of relief, he made his escape out of Usagi's room quickly, praying his father would remember the events that transpired as a dream instead.
