RRTAB: Read, Review, and Tell A Buddy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon. Well, not yet, anyways...

"I must leave now," Watanabe placed some money onto the counter before rushing in the direction that Usagi was seen going in.

Motoki blinked. "That was…strange…" he mumbled. He shrugged and collected the abandoned money. Maybe the guy had a crush on his little sister. Wait a second…his baby sister? This was unacceptable!

The clerk quickly ran to the back of the arcade and picked up the phone. "Hello? Mamoru?"

Usagi was completely and utterly lost. "Great," she sniffled. "I knew I should have asked Mako-chan for directions. I don't even think that this is the right way." She looked around for a landmark, anything that looked familiar.

The blonde sighed. The last time she went to Makoto's apartment, she was given a bird's eye view, courtesy of Sailor Moon. "That's it!" she exclaimed. She ran towards the nearest alley.

As she was about to enter, the dark energy blast shot out of thin air and stopped her path. Usagi gasped and jumped back. She looked around for her attacker to find Zoicite floating in the air. "Who are you?" she tried the innocent act.

Zoicite smiled a crooked smile. "Me? You don't remember me, Usagi? Or should I say, Princess?"

The blonde shot him a puzzled look. An act was no longer necessary. "W-what are you talking about, weirdo floating dude? I'm as much of a princess as you are."

Zoicite rolled his eyes and teleported beside Usagi. He gripped her wrist tightly. "You need to stop playing dumb," he snarled. "That will make things go a lot smoother."

"Let me go!" Usagi snapped. "You're completely insane!" Why did this enemy know her civilian name? Why was this enemy calling her 'princess'? Why was she asking these questions instead of transforming? She whispered under her breath, "Moon Prism Po—."

"Hey!" a familiar, deep voice yelled.

Usagi struggled to turn. "M-Mamoru."

Indeed, the voice belonged to Mamoru. He was livid. "What do you think you're doing?" he glared at Zoicite as he walked forward.

"Don't get involved, human," Zoicite spat, strengthening his grip on Usagi's wrist. "This is between the princess and me."

Usagi winced at the pain. Although she was touched that Mamoru cared enough to do something, she wished he hadn't gotten involved. With Moon's help, Zoicite would have been running back to the Dark Kingdom with his tail between his legs. "I am not the princess!" Usagi insisted. "I don't even know what princess you're talking about! England has a princess!"

"I've been told," Zoicite said, thinking back to the blonde clerk. He'd have to thank that boy later. "But she is not who I'm looking for. Now, where is the Silver Crystal?"

Mamoru's eyes widened. Usagi had the Silver Crystal? He spent years looking for this crystal and she had it? "You have the Silver Crystal, Usagi?"

"Yes!"

"No!" Usagi insisted. "I'm not a princess and I don't have any crystal. This man is a crazy, out of his mind, loco, insane lunatic!"

"Oh yeah?" Zoicite chuckled. He pulled out his small tracking device. "Then why is this beeping? It only beeps in the presence of the Princess."

Usagi frowned at the device. "I-It's not."

"What?" Zoicite looked at the machine himself. "But this thing was beep—. You're the wrong girl? I wasted my time with a normal annoying human?" He threw Usagi towards Mamoru and teleported away.

"Usagi!" Mamoru ran to catch her. "Who was he? Why did he go after you?"

"I-I don't know," Usagi stuttered.

"Come on," the dark-haired man help Usagi stand up. "Where were you going? I'll walk you there."

"Mako-chan's apartment," Usagi answered, lowered her head to hide her blushing face. "The Sunshine Hill complex."

Mamoru frowned. "What are you doing here? Sunshine Hill is on the other side of Juuban.

Usagi's eyes widened. "Please tell me that you're kidding."

Mamoru shook his head. He offered a smile. "Absolutely hopeless," he mumbled. "Come on. I know the way."

"What?" Beryl screamed. "You let the princess escape? I'll rip you limb from limb!"

Zoicite winced at the threat, "P-please, my Queen. I only need one more chance. I know the princess is in Tokyo, I just followed the wrong girl! That mistake will not happen again."

Beryl stood up and walked over to the shivering general. She grabbed a strand of hair and ripped it out. "Do you see this, Zoicite."

"Y-yes, my queen."

"What is it?"

"A-a strand of my hair, your majesty."

"My patience is very thin. Don't let my patience run too thin. It will end tragically for you. I'll break you as easily as I break a strand of hair. Do you understand?" She broke the strand in half to prove her point.

"Y-yes, my queen. I will not fail you again."

"Mamoru?" Usagi said as she walked with the quiet man. "How do you know I was here?"

"I didn't. Motoki said a jerk was following you." He decided to leave out the part about Motoki saying that the jerk was Mamoru's love rival.

Usagi nodded. "Thank you for coming. I don't know what would have happened, he you not shown up when you did. How did you know about the Silver Crystal?"

Mamoru glanced at Usagi. "So you do have it?"

"No," Usagi replied quickly. "I just heard about it, that's all."

Mamoru closed his eyes. "If you don't have it, don't worry about it. Just keep walking. We're almost there."

Usagi frowned. "But you obviously know something. Why won't you tell me?"

"It doesn't concern you, Odango."

"Yes it does!" Usagi stepped in front of Mamoru. "I was just attacked over this crystal! What do you know?"

"It doesn't matter," Mamoru snapped. "We're here. I'll see you later."

Usagi watched as Mamoru quickly ran away. "Fine," she mumbled to herself. "You might not answer me, but I know who can get you to talk. Expect a visiting from Sailor Moon. Soon." She turned and walked into the apartment complex.

Zoicite teleported to the top of a random roof. He pulled out his tracking device and fumbled to take it apart. "I'm felt an enormous amount of energy from that girl. Why wasn't she the right one?" The dark crystal inside of the device pulsed. "Everything seems normal. How did I get the wrong girl?"

He placed the device on the ground beside him and glared at the city light. "Princess Serenity, where you may be, I will hunt you down and steal that crystal. Even if it takes me a lifetime, I will be the one to defeat you. I guarantee it."

The device began to beep once again. "Let the search begin once more." He grabbed the device and jumped from roof to roof.

That's the chapter! One step forward and two steps back for Zoicite, right? Aren't you wondering why the device didn't beep? Don't you want me to stop asking you questions and post the next chapter, already? Well, it's not ready, yet, but it will be out soon! Until then, review!

Also, I'm going to tell you about the poll once more! It's on my profile page! Please answer it!
