Disclaimer: I don't own Sailro Moon, Naoko Takeuchi does, and it just so happens that I worship the ground she walks on. Epilogue Mamoru woke up to see the sunrise's beams shinig down on his angel's golden hair, and admired her beauty. She opened her eyes to see his gazing down at her; feelings that they had both longed for since they couldn't remember when. It wasn't really a time for words; they simply held each other and whispered "I love you's" or sweet nothingas in each other's ears. They couldn't believe that it had really been four years since Usagi had smaked Mamoru in the head with that crumpled up test paper. That wonderful, destined little piece of paper that had the oh-so-great responsibility of bringing the two chosen soulmates together once more. But before they could live happily ever after, they had to seperate once more. When you think about it though, three years was nothing compared to the 1000 years that had gone by before they were reborn, or to what they would have whenever Usagi returned, which would be the rest of their lives and no doubt beyond.... <^> <^> <^> <^> <^> They had eventually fallen asleep again, not wanting to leave the comfort and warmth of the other's skin. Usagi woke once more to the smell of bacon and eggs. She threw some pajamas on and ran downstairs. Mamoru looked over his shoulder from his place over the frying pan. "Good morning Usako," he called, "Sleep well?" "Mm-hmm," she gently wrapped her arms around his waist so as not to get burned by the stove, "You?" "Best sleep in a LONG time." Usagi giggled. They sat down at the table and began to eat. "I never thought you could be such a homemaker, or that you could cook this well, Mamo-chan." He chuckled, "Well you don't honestly think Danielle does all the work around the place do you?" "Oy," Usagi rolled her eyes, "I suppose not. Hahaha I can just see that! Danni running all over the place too involved in her singing and totally oblivious to what's going on, including all the food burning!" (AN: which unbeknownst to them was going on at this very moment ^.^) Usagi began twirling her fork around in various patterns in the air, "So you're okay with me going to America, right? "If that's what you want to do, I'm behind you 110%" Mamoru answered sincerely. Usagi ran over to him, threw her arms around his shoulders and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Thank you Mamo-chan!" "I'm sure it won't kill me, besides," hel looked deep into her eyes and raised an eyebrow, "now I have something to look forward to every time you visit," he pressed his lips to hers. She giggled through the kiss, "And don't forget," she whispered, "I still have a while before I leave." now it was his turn to laugh as they began the kiss again. <^> <^> <^> <^> <^> "MaMoRu," Danielle sang in a playful, accusing tone when he returned to his apartment. She knew he had come back from oblivion last night, because she was able to sense his presence again. "You were at Usagi's last night weren't you?" "Dannigirl, don't start," he plopped down on the couch and smiled. "Details, Mamo, I want DETAILS!" she smiled. "No," he stated simply. "Come on," she smiled that seductive smile of hers and continued in that sing-song voice that had not lost a battle with Mamoru yet, "you know you're dying to tell SoMeOnE," she had waited for the night when the two star-crossed lovers would entwine and was not about to let it go without knowing EXACTLY what had happened. Mamoru looked from side to side then up at Danielle, "Well it was VERY romantic, you see, Usagi got rose petals and momentos frome our past and..............." <^> <^> <^> <^> <^> "Mmm," Usagi was in a group hug with her parents and Sammy at the airport, "I'll miss you guys!" "Behave yourself!" Kenji told her. "And have fun, but study hard," Ikuko advised. "Don't forget to write," Smmy said. "You young man," Usagi wagged a finger in his face, "will STILL still leave my stuff alone, and will UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES have a party or anything at MY APARTMENT! Got that?!" "Okay," he said with his fingers crossed behind his back. The scouts and Mamoru, seeing this, chuckled a little. Her family left to give Usagi and her friends some privacy. "You guys will be alright without me?" Usagi asked. "You really think a negamonster would even DARE look at us after what you did to their last leader?" Rei commented. "I'm sure we'll be fine, Usagi," Ami stated, "but not having you around may bring spirits down a little." "Oh, bull, Ami, you've still got me around!" Danielle contradicted, "and you know I don't allow a frown within a five mile radius of me!" she winked. Everyone giggled. "Come on we should get going," Makoto began to walk away, persuading the other girls to follow in order to let Usagi and Mamoru say good bye properly. They took the hint. Except, of course, for Danielle. Mamoru glared. "But I wanna watch!" she complained. Usagi giggled. "Go away," Mamoru growled. Danni scrunched her face up at him and followed the others to the lobby to watch once Usagi's plane took off. Mamoru gazed into the face of his beloved princess as she looked up at him sadly. Once again, it was not a time for words. They closed that terrible gap that existed between their mouths and entered into as passionate a kiss as tehy could in a public place. "Come back soon, huh?" he said. "Wid horses couldn't keep me away," Usagi giggled. "Flight 235 to America now boarding," they heard over the loud speaker. "I guess I'd better get going," Usagi said. "Yeah." They quickly kissed again before she went onto the plane and Mamoru went to join the others. He sat down next to Danielle, as usual. "So what are you going to do to keep youself busy now that Usagi's not going to be here for a while?" Ikuko asked Mamoru. "I'm not sure," he answered, "but I know what I'm going to do when she visits," he pulled a diamond ring out of his poket, spun it around between his thumb and forefinger and smiled. Everyone's eyes lit up. "Knowing you, you've already got some big scheme planned out to give it to her dontcha?" Danni smiled. "Yep," he winked," And I'm pretty sure it will involve rose petals.........." <^> <^> <^> <^> <^> So whatya think??? Can you say "sequel" heehee. I would LOVE suggestions!!!!!!!
