Hi everybody! Well I'm back after retiring for a bit hahahahahaha (as if I'm 90) Anyhoo, so here is another Sailormoon fic. A long time ago when I wrote Enemies to More, some of you wrote in saying that you wanted more Usagi and Mamoru; not so much Sailormoon stuff. It's sort of hard doing that since it's called "SAILORMOON" LOL

But I came up with the bestest story I could. Now this has nothing to do with dark forces or evil people or anything like that. I just wanted to tell a funny love story.

I'm rated this STORY R (obvious reasons), so out you go minors.

I hope you guys like it! Please read and review. I'll be doing this into chapters so it's easier to read!

Enjoy!

Wedding Blues for the Unwed

Chapter 1: Motoki's Proposal

It was raining again. And sure enough Usagi was late …again. It wasn't her fault though, not this time at least. Ms. Haruna kept her back on purpose because she was eating in class. But by the time Usagi was done with detention, it started to rain, and no umbrella.

"AHHH! Why did she have to hold me back again! And I try so hard too!" Usagi wailed as she dashed. It wasn't the rain she was really running from, it was the ever great threat of lightening and thunder to come.

"Rei-chan is going to be so mad!" She continued to complain trying to cover her head as best she could with her school bag, but it was making it very difficult for her to run. Suddenly it happened, the lightening sparked from the sky followed by a loud bang of thunder. It was like the ground had started to shake. She screamed, her hair buns spinning uncontrollably over her head.

"THIS ISN'T FAIR!" She shouted rushing along. She turned the corner sharply, hoping the arcade was still open so that she could get some cover, but it was past 5pm and Motoki was probably gone home. She was starting to slow down, but the lightening and thunder came back. She cringed madly and dashed when it happened.

SMACK right into the side of the bus station cover. The little old lady sitting on the bench pet Usagi's head as she fell face flat to the ground, in pain and humiliated.

"You alright there dear? You shouldn't run so fast in the rain." The old lady smiled playing with Usagi's hair buns. Usagi sat up feeling violated.

"Um yeh thanks." She groaned uncomfortable that a stranger was playing with her hair buns.

"What an unusual hair-do" The old lady said squeezing Usagi's hair buns. She got up dusting her skirt when she noticed a small scratch on her knee. She cringed as she touched it.

"Great, this couldn't get any worse." She sighed to herself.

"Hey odango-atama! Fell again uh?" That voice, that awful awful voice. Usagi didn't want to turn around and see his smirking face. He was always looking so clever it drove her insane. But before she could just take off and run away, the little old lady started to wave at Mamoru.

"Is this your girlfriend young man?" The Old lady said. It was like a thousand little pins poked Usagi from the toe up. Her face became green and round.

"NO, he is not my boyfriend!" Usagi shouted at the little old lady who ignored her.

"You should walk your girlfriend home, she just had an awful fall and her knee is scraped." The old lady's smile was wrinkly but sincere. Of course Usagi wanted no part of this and sulked.

"He's not my boyfriend. Are you listening to me!?" Usagi asked again, only to find that Mamoru and the old lady were having a conversation about her without her. She turned a blistering red and stomped her feet on the ground.

"Hey, I'm talking here!" She shouted. Mamoru started to laugh and thanked the old lady.

"Don't worry, I'll walk her home." Mamoru sighed walking to Usagi and putting his umbrella over her. She turned green from being so close to him.

"I can walk home on my own." She said bluntly staring daggers at him. Suddenly the sky bellowed shaking the ground and bus station. Usagi grabbed Mamoru, her teeth chattering like mad and her eyes the size of golf balls. Mamoru felt awkward. This is not how he wanted to spend his day off.

"Nonsense, see now off you two go." The old lady said 'shoo-ing' them on their way. Mamoru started to walk with Usagi still holding on to him.

"Hey, odango-atama, let go of me." He said a little disgusted. Usagi snapped out of it and saw that she was clinging on to Mamoru.

"Eww!" She screwed her face disgusted by what she was doing.

"Get over it, you were holding on to me odango-atama." Mamoru groaned. Usagi growled.

"Don't call me that! You know my name is Usagi!" She shouted stopping in her tracks. It was raining pretty heavily now, but Usagi hadn't noticed.

"Whatever you say, odango-atama." He shrugged with a smirk on his face, as he continued to walk leaving Usagi behind.

"You-you, big jerk head!!" She shouted back at him, stamping her foot down on the sidewalk. Mamoru could care less. He's heard her say that so many times, it didn't even bother him anymore.

"You're getting wet. Now hurry up, I have things to do." He said turning back and staring at her. Usagi realized that Mamoru was actually going to walk her home.

"Don't worry about it." She shouted and dashed off down the street without him.

"Hey! Don't be crazy odango-atama!" He shouted after her, but Usagi didn't turn around. She was already having a pretty bad day, and his presence was making it worse. Mamoru sighed angrily. That girl was very childish and very annoying. His eyes followed her until she turned the corner and then he continued on his own way to his apartment. He was meeting Motoki for dinner tonight and he still had to wash up. The weather wasn't helping his mood and neither was this incident with Usagi. He was looking forward to a quiet evening.

****

Finally, she arrived in the most thunderous way at Rei's temple. The girls were seated around a table in Rei's room when Usagi barged in. Rei was about to say something, but judging by Usagi's face, this was not the time to nag.

"Usagi, you're all wet." Minako said observantly as she grabbed her a towel to dry off. Rei realized that a towel wasn't going to be enough and went to her drawer to get Usagi some clean dry clothes.

"That stupid jerk! This is all his fault." Usagi shouted as she wiped her face and legs. She was breathing heavily and her eyes were very large and veiny.

"Mamoru-san? You saw Mamoru-san?" Rei asked excitedly knowing that to Usagi there was only one big jerk and that was Mamoru.

"His name is stupid jerk Rei-chan." Usagi whined walking into the bathroom to change. Rei started to blush. She had called Mamoru hours ago and never heard back from him. She thought he was ignoring her, but if Usagi bumped into him again, it meant he wasn't home yet and that soothed her tense mind. She wanted to go the Haunted house night at the amusement park with him tomorrow and was hoping he wasn't going to reject her.

"You two are always bumping into each other. It's like you guys are meant to be" Makoto joked taking a sip of her tea. Usagi bust through the bathroom door with flames and smoke behind her.

"Don't you even joke about such a thing Makoto-chan." Usagi said in a small growl. Small tear drops slide down the girls faces as they realized Usagi was not in the mood today to take shots. Instead they really had to be getting their homework done if they wanted to get home in time for dinner. Usagi came out of the bathroom with her wet clothes in hand, not sure where she can leave them to dry off.

"Here Usagi, give them to me. I'll put them in the laundry room, they'll dry faster." Rei said taking the wet clothes from her.

"Thanks Rei-chan." Usagi smiled getting closer to the snacks that Rei had pulled out for the girls.

"Next time take an umbrella if I tell you to take an umbrella!" Rei shouted pulling Usagi's pigtails. She had called Usagi in the morning and warned her it might rain, but Usagi again didn't listen to her. Usagi started to cry large fountains of water streaming down her eyes.

"Rei-chan!" She cried.

"Don't you Rei-chan me!" She shouted back. While the girls sighed and got ready to call their parents that they'd be home late since there was no way they would finish their homework in time.

"What?" Mamoru asked putting down his tea cup in shock. He expected some sort of news from Motoki but didn't expect this. Motoki blushed a little as the surrounding tables were staring at them.

"I asked her to marry me." He smiled twirling his fingers a little. He knew that he was still pretty young and still finishing his school, but he didn't care. He wanted to be with Reika.

"What did she say?" Mamoru asked. Motoki looked a bit sad, the happiness he wanted to tell Mamoru wasn't quite there yet. Mamoru examined Motoki's face and prepared for bad news.

"Well, she said she needed to think about it." Motoki answered not sad but not happy either. Mamoru looked at the table not sure what he could say to his friend.

"She has a lot to think about. With her school and her studies in Africa, she said she needed some time think about it all." Motoki remembered the moment as if it was seconds ago. She wanted to say yes, and was blushing like a new bride would. But she had to think about her school and her career and where her future was going to be. Was it going to be in Africa with the famous Professor? Or with the love of her life in Japan?

"It is a big commitment Motoki, you sure you're ready for it too?" Mamoru asked wondering if Motoki had thought about all this before he popped the question.

"Yeah. I thought about what my life was going to be like with Reika if we got married at this age. But then I thought about my life without her. And …I just can't do without her anymore." Motoki sighed. It broke his heart to think that her answer might be no. He didn't want to accept it if she said no.

"Motoki, you're still in school. And our graduation isn't for another 2 years. How will you guys support yourself?" Mamoru asked more seriously. He knew that Motoki was a romantic and often did not think about the reality of life. That there were certain things people had to do before taking steps in order to be really happy in real life. Motoki was too romantic for his own good.

"Chiba, I know what you're thinking, but marriage isn't that big of a deal. If two people really love each other, they'll find a way. I love her so much, and I know she loves me..." Motoki said with a big hopeful smile on his face. The truth was though, he was wondering if that were true. Marriage was a big deal and he wasn't sure if Reika was ready to make such a huge step. This would mean she'd be sacrificing her future as a professor in Africa, and she would be moving back to Japan for good. She'd have to re-establish her whole life here again, find a job, find a good school. The kind of changes he wasn't sure that Reika would make just to be with him. Mamoru saw how sad Motoki had become, and didn't know how to make him feel better. He couldn't lie and say everything was going to be alright, and he couldn't tell him the harsh reality either.

"Motoki, I think if it's meant to be, it'll happen." Mamoru said not sure what he meant. But Motoki smiled and agreed.

"I guess you're right." He smiled as he started to eat his food. Mamoru wasn't sure if marriage was a good idea at this age. They were only 21 years old. It was a big responsibility not to mention a huge change in Motoki's life. But for now, he was going to trust Motoki's best judgment. After all Mamoru had never been in love. He always viewed love as something dangerous. It always made you do things that made no sense and it always made things far more complicated then it had to be.

It was 9pm when Usagi left Rei's house with the girls. Her school uniform had dried but she was still cold. She whined about her weird day, but was happy about getting home and getting some much needed sleep.

"Usagi-chan, make sure you wake up on time or you'll miss the first bell." Minako warned with a teasing finger. Usagi smiled nervously making no guarantee's.

"You too Minako-chan." Usagi laughed back with little sneaky cat eyes. The two blonde's started to laugh hysterically as Ami shook her head.

'They will never change.' She thought to herself with a small smile.

"See you tomorrow." Ami and Minako waved goodbye as they turned the corner towards their street. Usagi was happy to be alone for a short while. It would give her some much needed 'me time'. It seemed that she was always running around doing something else. For school, the girls, the senshi, but never really got a chance to be by herself.

"Or with a hot guy." She giggled with a large bubble over head. It had been a long time since the senshi were needed, which was good for Usagi since she didn't have to fight any battles. But she missed transforming. She wondered briefly about the Malachite when she noticed a girl sitting alone on the bench in a small park by her house. She wondered what she was doing there by herself this late. As she got closer she realized it was Reika. She gulped and blushed. Reika was back again from Africa for the 4th time this year. This meant that Motoki would be spending more time with Reika instead of the arcade. She sighed.

"Reika-san?" Usagi smiled awkwardly as she approached her. She was really beautiful. With her dark brown eyes and hair. She seemed to be glowing. And yet when Usagi was standing close to her, she realized that Reika was sad.

"Oh hi Usagi-san" Reika smiled. Usagi sat down next to her.

"Reika-san, what are you doing here?" Usagi asked hoping she wasn't coming off as being too nosy. Reika smiled sadly not sure what to tell the young girl. But in Japan she had no real friends that she could talk to. She seemed lonely.

"I'm a bit lost." She sighed looking back at Usagi who looked blankly back at her.

"Usagi-san, you seem like you're a very happy person." Reika said with a kind smile and envious eyes. Usagi laughed at herself. Some people would call it happy or border line crazy.

"I guess." Usagi tried not to laugh like a hyena, but a little more womanly.

"I have a problem, but I'm not sure what I should do…" She said trailing off to the memory of when Motoki asked her to marry him. She wanted to say something better then what she had said. She wondered if such a romantic moment could be recaptured. Usagi slid closer to Reika looking more concerned.

"What is it Reika-san?" She asked. She hoped that it wasn't something serious or terrible.

"I love my job and I'm not even finished school yet…I was thinking of coming back to Japan and getting a job here, and…making a life here, but I don't know if I can..." She said slowly. Usagi's ears twitched. With Reika back in Japan, Motoki would completely ignore her. Her eyes started to twirl as she thought about all the fun Reika and Motoki would have alone together. But when she looked back at Reika, her eyes were tearing up.

"Gomen…I'm being so terrible..." Reika said with a sad phony smile. Usagi felt terrible. She couldn't tell Reika to stay in Africa, when she clearly wanted to come back to Japan and be with Motoki. Usagi took in a deep breath. And yet, she wanted to so badly tell Reika to leave.

"Reika-san" Usagi sighed. "You should stay. Stay here in Japan." Usagi beamed her a bright smile. Reika looked at her confused.

"I should?" She asked.

"Well yeh, everything you want is here. And we have the best parks, and movies, and we have the best sushi and music" Usagi explained as she listed all of the things Reika should stay for. Reika sighed not sure still.

"And Motoki-san is here. And…you should stay." Usagi's smile stretched wildly she was so uncomfortable telling her such a thing. She didn't want to tell Reika this, she wanted Reika gone, gone far away in Africa. How this long distance relationship lasted this long was a surprise to Usagi and she hated to admit that because it lasted, she knew they really loved each other. She couldn't ruin that. Reika smiled.

"Motoki…" She smiled finally understanding how much she loved him and that no matter where she went she wasn't truly happy without him.

"But my job and school?" Reika thought. Usagi laughed at the idea.

"Job and school? You can get those here too, and it's better." Usagi smiled feeling like she was the smartest person on the planet. Reika smiled at Usagi. She could tell that Usagi always had a crush on Motoki, but here she was, telling her she should stay with him. Reika wanted to explain what Motoki asked, but wasn't sure if she should at this moment.

"You're right Usagi-chan. Arigato." Reika smiled. She had thought about her time in Africa, how lonely and sad she was almost everyday. Being so far from Motoki, reading all his letters and writing frantically back to him. Waiting on the weekends for his calls. He was probably doing the same here. She couldn't do it anymore. She decided in a second what her answer would be.

"No problem." Usagi said, her smile twitching a bit, realizing that she had just encouraged Reika to stay in Japan where she would take up all of Motoki. She sighed feeling a little stupid.

"Usagi-chan. You're really sweet." Reika said getting up off the bench. Usagi followed. She thanked Usagi again and headed back to her place. Usagi stood there for a moment, wondering if what she did was a good thing. She wanted Motoki to be with her, but with Reika back in Japan that would be even more impossible.

"Oh well. I guess it's meant to be." She sighed.

"It's not like their getting married." She laughed hysterically scratching her head. She started to walk towards her home thinking about the funny things that had happened to her today. She hoped that tomorrow was not as eventful as today.
