Don't sue me, I'm just a wanna-be author *g* Now ONTO THE STORY! *g* ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Usagi felt a sudden flood of emotions run through her, and she almost blacked out. Usagi stared at the gold ring with the combination of dark red and dark pink stones in it. "I know it's not a traditional engagement ring, but I knew you would like this better than a diamond." Mamoru went on. Usagi just stared. "What are you saying, Mamoru-chan?" She said, her voice shaking. "I'm saying I want you to marry me!" Mamoru said, still kneeling there holding the ring. Usagi just sat there, crying. "Hey, say something, you're scaring me!" Mamoru said and sat back down on his chair while he waited for Usagi to calm down. "Mamo-chan..." Usagi started; Mamoru looked at her. "Why?" Usagi asked, simply. Mamoru stared at Usagi in shock. "You mean, after all this time, you still haven't figured it out?" He asked, softly. Usagi shook her head, miserably. "Usagi-chan, I can't say I'm not surprised. I am. Do you remember the very first day we met? You know, when you threw that test over your shoulder?" Usagi nodded, still crying. "Well I knew, that day, well, even then I loved you, Usagi-chan." This only made Usagi cry harder. "But WHY?" She cried. "I just do, Usako." Mamoru replied. Usagi sniffed and looked up at Mamoru, "You know... there was a woman earlier when I was shopping... she said that if I ever got married to go back... she was so familiar... her name was Seion." Something clicked in Mamoru's head, making him forget about the ring. "Seion?" He said, thinking. Usagi nodded. "Usagi-chan! Get down to the Formal Shop and quick!" Makoto's face appeared on Usagi's communicator screen. "Makoto-chan! Oh, this couldn't have come at a worse time!" Makoto rolled her eyes, "What, did Mamoru-kun propose or something?" When Usagi paused, Makoto's eyes widened, "Oh. He did?" Usagi nodded, "Wait... did you say The Formal Shop?" Usagi asked, slowly. "Yes!" Makoto exclaimed. Usagi leapt up from her chair. "I'll be there ASAP!" Usagi exclaimed and reached into her hand bag. "Usagi-chan?" Mamoru asked, confused. "Where are you going?" Usagi quickly pulled out her transformation tool. "It's the shop where I got the dress! Where Seion-chan's at!" Mamoru leapt up from his chair. "Waiter!" He hollered, and motioned for Usagi to leave. Taking the hint, she dashed to the girls bathroom. "Moon Eternal... MAKEUP!" She yelled and in a flurry of feathers and light, transformed into Eternal Sailor Moon. She jumped out the window and quickly turned down an alleyway that she knew would take her to directly behind the formal shop. To Usagi's surprise, the two people from Rei's shoe store were standing in front of the formal shop, laughing evilly. "I know you, but do you know me! Attacking a place where people go for special occasions is not something any sane youma would do! I am the pretty sailor suited soldier sailor moon! On behalf of the moon I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! And you know what that means!" Usagi yelled. She jumped down from the roof, "That means you're moon dusted!" She saw Rei and Ami land in the distance. "Sailor Moon..." the female one said, "I was wondering how long it would take for you to get here!" Usagi growled, "Lafira-baka," Lafira grinned, "How nice of you to say so." She said, "What made you decide to come to Seion's rescue?" "It's not who's in trouble that's important right now. It's what. And right now, the universe is in trouble because you're here!" The male laughed, "So you really don't have any idea who Seion-sama really is?" Usagi stood firm, "Don't try to trick me into that, Illsus-baka!" Usagi yelled, "I won't stand you two any more! I've banned you from this Universe once and I'll do it again!" Makoto landed next to Usagi, "She's right, you know. And with all of us here to help her, she can do it for good!" "Not true, Sailor Wimps." Usagi stiffened when she recognized the voice. "No... no, not the Wiseman!" She cried and turned around. Sure enough, the cloaked figure of the Wiseman was standing behind her. "I thought I banned you, Wiseman!" Usagi yelled, Wiseman laughed softly, "In the future you did... right now, I'm more powerful than ever!" Minako landed behind Usagi and Makoto and stared at what was happening to Lafira and Illsus. "Uh, Sailor Moon... you'd better see this!" she said, voice shaking. Usagi whipped around, and stared as Lafira and Illsus started glowing. "You won't have to worry about me, Sailor Moon. Just Lafira-sama and Illsus-sama here. Goodbye, brat." Then the Wiseman disappeared. "Are you ready, Sailor Moon?" Tuxedo Kamen said, from behind her. Usagi spun around and stared at him. "Yes... let's get rid of these pesky jerks for good!" She said and turned back to attack, only to find Lafira and Illsus gone. "You haven't seen the last of us!" Lafira said from above them, and was gone. "Sailor Moon..." A faint voice said, "Tuxedo Mask..." Usagi turned towards the store to see Seion on the ground in the doorway. "Seion-chan!" Mamoru exclaimed, and rushed over to her. "Tuxedo Mask... who is she?" Rei asked, "I feel a strange presence in her." Mamoru turned around to face the scouts, tears were evident in his eyes when he took his mask off. "You guys... this is my mother!" He exclaimed, and bent over her. "Your... your mother?" Usagi stuttered, "But... what..." Mamoru stood up and held a finger to her lips. "Sh... Sailor Moon, you never answered my question." Usagi froze and retransformed, right in front of Seion, but it didn't matter now. "Usagi, please... I really mean it, I want you to marry me!" Usagi felt the wave wash over her again, and this time she couldn't hold on. She fainted. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ooh!
