Hey I am back! How is it going guys? I cannot promise frequent updates, because my Uni exams are coming up soon (April and May) so things are gonna be hectic as I have to juggle courseworks, revise for exams and try to work on my novel too. However I am updating now. Are you all excited for season 3 of SMC? I kind of am but I am dreading it because of Chibiusa. Crystal has toned her down a bit but still my childhood dislike for Chibiusa knows no bounds due to the classic anime. I can't wait till Stars as I swear that and season 1 are the only times Chibiusa isn't in SM seasons. Anywho, hope you guys like this update!

Chapter 3: Reflection

Usagi sighed as she stared at the milkshake in front of her with wilting glance. To say she was despondent would be an understatement. Her mind was in chaos, an utter mess as it tried to make sense of everything. It had been a whole day since she had gotten the proof that she was definitely pregnant. Mercury's laptop did not lie. Her life, whatever stability it had had before, now it was gone. And she still didn't know what to do.

Ami had suggested the most sensible option when she had been talking to her over phone but Usagi couldn't do it. Just the thought of getting rid of her baby was not an option. Never. It could never be an option. She had been so incensed with the suggestion that she had slammed the communicator down and refused to answer it when she had tried calling her back. Ami spoke logically, but that didn't mean that she would do that. Just the thought of harming her, their baby made her feel sick.

No that wasn't an option. So that left her with even more questions. What would she do? How would everyone react? She couldn't hide it forever, she would start showing in few more months. She couldn't avoid it. How would her parents take it? How would the senshis? Usagi wasn't sure if Ami had told the rest of the senshis about her current condition. She probably hadn't, otherwise they would have tracked her down by now. After all they were all so worried about the Moon Princess and her duties, her crystal. There was a bitter tint in her thoughts. She didn't mean to but lately her friendships with the senshis didn't feel like a bond. Not the bond they had seemed too have had before. Before all the revelations. Before they used to accept her the way she had been. Now she seemed to feel that they couldn't do that. They all had expectations from her. Expectations which she couldn't live up to.

'I wonder it would have been better if they had all still forgotten me.'

For when they hadn't remembered her she yearned for them. Now her disillusion of the perfect life was scattered. She didn't know if she had the courage to pick it up again. She felt her tears springing up in her eyes as she got lost in her thoughts. Would she tell him? Mamoru? Dare she tell him about the baby? He hadn't, he hadn't even acknowledged about them sleeping together after he had regained his memories. She had tried approaching them to him the few days they had been dating after his memories recovered. But he had brushed it off. Dare she tell him now? Should she? Would he be cruel and ignore her further? Or would he pity her and take her back because of the baby? Which would be worse?

"Usagi? Are you okay?" she took her gaze off the drink and right into Motoki's green yet worried eyes, she hadn't even realised when he had come in front of her or how long he had been staring at her. They were full of concern, concern for her. She put on a smile but she knew that hadn't seemed to work for him, for he simply looked at her with even more concern.

"Yes Motoki I am fine I-" she tried to carry on the charade but there still was no relief in his eyes. She stopped the façade and instead gave him a watery smile "No I am not but you know that already" she muttered as she looked back at the milkshake again.

"Usagi…he is an idiot who doesn't deserve you" Usagi looked up back at Motoki only to notice his eyes were now full of rage and it wasn't directed at her. She turned her head to see where he was staring and the sight only stabbed a knife further into her heart. For just in the corner of the Arcade, sat in a booth was Mamoru but he wasn't by himself. Another blonde was sitting across from him, touching him. She clenched her fits and looked away as more tears gathered. He wouldn't see her tears. Not anymore. She won't be weak anymore. And she won't accept his pity or cruel words. She wouldn't tell him about the baby. Not now. He wouldn't hear it from her. Obviously when she started showing he would know. But that's the only way he would find out. She won't open her heart to him just for him to crush her again. No more. Though in her vehement state, when she turned her eyes away she hadn't seen the way he looked up at her. She looked up instead back at Motoki, for looking at Mamoru only hurts. In a way she was glad that she had found out about the baby after. If Mamoru had known then he might have carried on the façade of loving her because of his pity and sense of responsibility. At least now knows how he truly feels.

Her mind made up she folded her arms, not answering Motoki's prodding. She simply wanted peace right now before everyone knew about her condition and chaos ensued. She knew that's exactly what would happen when it got out. She was lost more in thoughts, the only thing which brought her out of it was the ringing of the bells, which signalled the main door opening. She would have ignored it hadn't a familiar voice rung out.

"Usagi-chan!" before Usagi could even turn back, the pink haired girl had sprinted right to the front and beside her side. Her eyes widened at Chibiusa's figure. She hadn't seen the young girl in a while. Actually the last time she remembered seeing her was when she ran away simply yesterday. She hadn't see the young girl for a whole day. She had been so caught up in her thoughts that she had forgotten about the young girl.

"Chibiusa" she started staring at the girl who had her name "Where have you been?"

"Working on a plan. A practically full proof plan to fix you and make you happy again!" Chibiusa exclaimed looking extremely cheerful. The sentence made her raise her eyebrows but a small fond smile overtook her. That was sweet, it wasn't possible but sweet and Usagi appreciated the thought.

"Chibiusa that's nice of you but I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon" Chibiusa seemed undeterred though, her eyes held a sparkle that surprised Usagi.

"No it will, just you wait a few days. I've called someone and they are gonna fix this. Well kind of, I mean jealousy is not a 100% guaranteed solution but it should get the ball rolling and everything will be fine!" Usagi simply raised her eyebrows. Calling someone? Someone is coming? Jealousy? What on earth was the young girl on about?

"Chibiusa, calm down. What on earth are you talking about?" her eyes looked at the young girl, feeling a slight dread. What had he done in a bid to make her happy? The only person with the key to that had told her very clearly that he didn't want her.

"Well I know someone, someone who would do anything to help you and with them onboard Mamoru-baka is gonna come running back at you!" Usagi knew the girl meant well but just hearing that made her freeze and her eyes became cold.

"Chibiusa no" Usagi stopped her rant instantly. That seemed to have surprised the young girl for she only looked at her with confusion.

"What?"

"Chibiusa I know you mean well but you cannot change someone's feelings. Mamoru made it very-very clear how he feels. There's no way you can force to change his feelings, I don't even want that. I don't want to live a lie" she whispered as she looked away from Chibiusa and looked ahead, ignoring the confused girl.

"But-but he doesn't, he is lying right now!" she couldn't believe her mother would actually believe Mamoru's lies. How could she believe it so easily? Her mother, their love in her present had such a strong foundation, they believed in each other. So how could she lose faith so easily? Then a frown overtook Chibiusa, she was from millennium in the future. That meant that they both had years and ions of years to build that foundation of trust. From what she knew of their past, they had barely started dated in this time, so clearly that faith hadn't been established yet. This she didn't know how to deal with.

"Chibiusa…" Usagi trailed looking at her yet not believing her words. At this the said girl frowned further and opened her mouth but before she could speak she was interrupted by a deep voice.

"What on earth could possibly make such a beauty like you sad?" a masculine voice interrupted their conversation. Startled, both Usagi and Chibiusa turned around to see a man standing there. He was fairly tall, towering over both of them. His hair were an odd silver shade, oddly reminding her of Queen Serenity's hair, hair which were incredibly straight and had a deep pair of blue eyes. Eyes whose attention were solely on Usagi which made the young blonde raise her eyebrows even more.

"Beauty? You're talking about me?" she uttered the sentence in surprise before she laughed it off, trying to make it seem as if she was joking and hoping that it would be enough to send the man packing. He however didn't budge, instead he smiled and caught her hand which had her freezing up. Without saying anything else, he pulled her hand up and laid a kiss on her hand, action which caused Usagi to blush immediately.

A cracking noise was heard, which caught the frowning Chibiusa's attention, who at the moment had been busy glaring at the silver haired man who was unabashedly eyeing her mother. She looked around to see what caused the noise and almost smirked with she saw it. It was none other than Mamoru, her father's eyes were solely on the two people beside her. His eyes full of raged as he glared at the silver haired man while the blonde sitting next to Mamoru tried to stop the bleeding in his hand, full of remnants of the broken glass.

This time the smirk became fully formed. Oh this was just a nail in the coffin. Yes her father had jealousy tendency and when they appear (she will convince Usagi to go along with it) he would definitely crack and give up this horrible charade he was playing. When she looked back at Usagi the scowl returned for the silver dude still kept his hold on Usagi's hand and was talking to her. Way too familiarly. Getting annoying at the attention, she caught Usagi's free hand and pulled it to get her attention.

"Umm-Ikuko mama wants us back, that's why I came here to get you," at this both of them looked down at her. Usagi looked confused as if she didn't know what Chibusa was on about but the silver haired man, he glared at her which confused her. Why was he glaring at her? She had the reason to glare at him! His eyes were…were uncomfortable. He seemed to stare at her as if he recognised her. Not liking how he made her feel, Chibiusa tugged at Usagi's hand once again. That seemed to work for Usagi pulled her hand off the man's hand and gave him a polite smile.

"I-I've got to go, umm, thank you" without any other word, she pulled Chibiusa and started walking away.

"I will certainly see you around" he spoke out-loud at which she blushed and simply walked even faster until she was near the door. She stopped herself from looking at Mamoru for a part of her morbidly wondered if he indeed was jealous of the attention she had been getting. But she held herself and instead got them both out of there. So intent was she on getting them out of the arcade that Usagi did not notice the green eyes which were glaring pointedly at her, full of envy.

An obituary for the second glass which perished in Mamoru's temper. If Chibiusa's plan works then a lot more items will suffer. Please review to let me know what you guys think about this!
