The soft sound of birds chirping rang throughout the peaceful morning. Sleeping soundly on her charge's bed, Luna began to rouse when the sunlight shone through the window. With a yawn and a quick stretch, the awoken cat stood up.

"Time to get up Usagi," Luna said as she walked to the head of the bed only to realize it was unoccupied.

Surprised etched on her face, Luna turned her head and noted it was only nine in the morning. Obviously she hasn't overslept, so it would seem Usagi had woken up early on a Sunday morning on her own. Puzzled, the guardian cat tried to remember why her usually lazy charge would get up earlier than her. A few seconds passed before realization dawned on her.

"Of course. She has a date with Mamoru today," Luna said as a grin formed, "If only I could get her to wake up on her own for school too."

Hopping off the bed, Luna decided to head down and get one of the Tsukinos to give her breakfast since Usagi's probably left by now.

Usagi slowly strolled toward the empty bench by the lake with a content smile. It was her first date with Mamoru. Ever since that battle against Zoisite where they had recovered their memories of the Silver Millennium, they had never gotten even a single chance to go out on a real date. First Mamoru's capture by Beryl then their memory lost after the battle. Even when she and her fellow senshis had regained their memories to fight against Ali and Ann, Mamoru had not remember what they had been through. It had been difficult for her to watch Mamoru act so distant toward her. Her only solace had been the fact that at least her love had been safe from the dangers of battles. Yet it had still felt lonely.

'At least we get another chance to be together now,' Usagi thought happily as she gazed at the tranquil lake.

In truth, she had been so excited to finally spend some time together with Mamoru that she had hardly slept last night. On top of that, she had woken up bright and early without the need of the anyone telling her to get up or even an alarm clock.

'The look on Mama and Papa's face were priceless,' Usagi recalled with a giggle, 'I wish I could've seen the look on Luna and Shingo's faces too.'

"And what do you find so funny," Usagi heard a familiar voice ask as two arms encircled her waist.

Having been so lost in her thoughts, the sudden contact caused her to jump slightly before she recognized who was behind her.

"Geez Mamo-chan are you trying to give me a heart attack," Usagi asked with mock anger.

"Sorry Usako," Mamoru replied with a chuckle, "But I just couldn't resist."

"That wasn't very nice," Usagi said with a pout after she turned to face him.

"You always did look adorable whenever you pouted like that," Mamoru teased as he placed a chaste kiss on his princess's forehead.

"Mamo-chan," Usagi said as a blush rose to her cheeks.

"All right all right," Mamoru said with another chuckle as he grasped one of Usagi's hand, "How about we go get some breakfast?"

After a simple breakfast at a local café, the two returned to the park since Mamoru had promised Usagi the day before he would rent them a rowboat. Mamoru couldn't help but smile as he watched his enthusiastic girlfriend run ahead. Her childlike joy brightened his mood like it did to everyone else she came in contact with. Their day together had only started and he already felt happier than he had in a long time.

"Hurry up Mamo-chan," Usagi called excitedly.

"Calm down Usako. The boats aren't going anywhere," Mamoru said after catching up.

Taking a hold of her hand once more, the two walked the rest of the way. After making the payment, Mamoru helped Usagi onto a rowboat before getting on himself. The ride was peaceful with the soft sounds of water ripples, the light breezes and the occasional chirp of birds. While Usagi took in the scenery with childlike wonder, Mamoru spent more time watching her than the sceneries around them. Feeling his stare, Usagi turned and smiled at him. When a light blush rose to his face at having been caught staring, he quickly glanced away raising an amused giggle from Usagi.

Time flew and before they knew it, over an hour had passed. Returning to the dock Usagi stepped out after Mamoru only to trip on the side of the boat. With quick reflexes, Mamoru immediately caught her before her face could meet the wooden dock. Mumbling an embarrassed apology, Mamoru merely chuckled as they walked back toward the lakeside bench. Taking a sit, Usagi laid her head on Mamoru's shoulder as the couple enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere.

"I had a great time today Mamo-chan," Usagi said lifting her head to gaze at Mamoru.

"I'm glad. This way it means you wouldn't mind going out with me again sometime," Mamoru said with a smile.

"Of course! I love to go out with you again," Usagi replied as she hugged her prince before whispering, "I'm really glad you got your memories back. I've missed you."

"I've missed you too. With or without my memories my heart will always yearn for you," Mamoru replied sincerely.

A light blush rose to her face as Usagi's heart rejoiced at his words. Their faces inched closer until their lips met. In the next instant before either could comprehend what was happening, Usagi felt something hit her on the head causing her to fall back. Immediately afterwards, something much heavier fell onto her lap with a thud.

"Oww," Usagi and another voice groaned simultaneously.

With one hand rubbing her head, Usagi opened her eyes and saw a pink hair little girl with her odango hair style sitting on her lap.

"Where did you come from kid," Usagi asked in annoyance before noticing the girls was also rubbing her head, "Hey are you okay? It's dangerous to drop out of nowhere. You could've seriously gotten hurt."

As Usagi reached out a hand toward the girl, she pushed it away and jumped off her lap.

"Where are your parents," Mamoru asked gently as he and Usagi watched the girl grabbed a cat-shaped sphere object and clutched it close.

"They're not here," the girl replied before a look of recognition filled her eyes when she looked at Usagi, "You!"

Startled by the girl's sudden outburst, the two were further surprised when the object in the girl's hands exploded in a puff of smoke to be replaced by a gun.

"Give me the Ginzuishou," the pink hair girl demanded as she pointed the gun at Usagi.

"Look kid I don't know what you're talking about," Usagi lied as she eyed the gun nervously.

"Put that down," Mamoru yelled as he made a grab for the kid.

Surprised at being raised from the ground, the little girl dropped the gun. Once it hit the ground, it exploded into another puff of smoke before reverting back to its previous form.

"Let me go," she screamed as she kicked and punched, "I need the Ginzuishou to save mommy!"

"What are you talking about," Usagi asked with a look of both concern and surprise, "Where's your mother?"

Realizing she's said too much, the girl yelled, "Luna-P!"

At her scream, the sphere hit Mamoru square in the face causing him to let go and fall back. Landing on her feet, the girl turned and ran away with the sphere floating after her.

"Mamo-chan," Usagi exclaimed as she ran up to him before looking back up to find the girl was long gone, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," Mamoru replied rubbing his sore nose, "Who was that girl?"

"I don't know," Usagi said as the two stood back up, "But I have a feeling we'll be seeing her again."

A/N: Another attempt to write a different version of the Black Moon saga. Couldn't help it since the idea was bouncing around in my head again. This will be a different(and hopefully better written) approach than my very first fanfic. Leave a review and tell me what you think.
