"Nervous?"

"Terrified. My tummy feels queasy."

Mamoru laughed. Only Usagi would use the word 'tummy' at a time like this. He brushed his fingers through the hair streaming down her back.

"You really think we can do this, Mamo-chan?"

"We have to," he said simply.

She frowned at him and he sighed, knowing what she wanted him to say. Non-grudgingly, he said, "Of course we can. We're strong enough for this. As long as I have you, I know, anything's possible."

Placated, she leaned against him and they listened to the bustle of final touches being made to the official coronation.

"Mamo-chan?"

"Hmmm?"

"Do you really think we can do this?"

Exasperated, he said, "Usako-"

"No! I mean, for real. Do you think we can?"

Mamoru held her silently.

"I believe in you," he said. "And I love you."

Usagi waited for more, but that was all he had.

"I love you too," she finally returned timidly.

Before Rei summoned them, before facing the crowd, before beholding the world, they stood, embracing each other for what seemed like the last time.
