Hey Minna-chan! Well I've got a short here and Caribbean Cruise part3 should be out soon, now that I've got this out of the way. Its rated PG-13. Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon, Takeuchi-sama does. Got it? So don't sue cause I already spent my money, as I'll tell at the end! Enjoy! Being Overtired Can Do Odd Things BEEP!BEEP!BEEP! Usagi's communicator went off in the middle of the night, shaking her out of REM sleep. "Huh? Whaz goin on?" she muttered, fumbling for her communicator. "Meatball Brains! Get your butt out of bed! A youma is attacking bums in the park!" Rei snapped as Usagi yawned and muttered "coming." Running on auto pilot she rolled out of bed and transformed and went out the window, heading for the park. Arriving at the same time as Jupiter, she waited for the taller senshi to throw her lightening before heading into the thick of things, still asleep. She tripped over the drained body of a bum and was immediately targeted for the youma to spit acid at. A stream came flying through the air towards her face when a flying rose stopped it and the man in the cape swooped down to rescue the fallen warrior and set her on her feet again. With a smile towards him she was back in the thick of things, trying to get a clear shot with her tiara. She spared a lucky glance around to see how her friends were faring. Ami was scanning the thing with her computer, Makoto was calling on her thunder, Minako winding down from sending off a crescent beam, but Rei was chanting her mantra, unaware of the acid flying towards her. Usagi yelled and threw herself at Rei, knocking the priestess over and getting hit by the acid herself on her thigh. She screamed in pain, wailing at the top of her lungs, distracting the youma so that Jupiter got in a clear shot. "Hurry Sailor Moon!" she called. "You have a clear shot!" Grimacing in pain as she stood on her wounded leg, she threw her tiara at the youma, destroying it. Tuxedo Kamen jumped up into a nearby tree, not wanting to leave until he saw that Sailor Moon would be all right. She was being helped up by Jupiter and scanned by Mercury, when she waved them off, with a yawn and walked with a slight limp towards his tree to prove she would be fine. "See minna-chan? I'm perfectly fine. I didn't take all of the acid; it just burned on contact. It's fine now, already healing," she yawned and detransformed. "Usagi!" 4 scandalized voices shouted and Tuxedo Kamen fell out of the tree from the sight of the Champion of Love and Justice, and his very own Meatball head, in her *eh-hem* choice of sleepwear. She was wearing a navy negligee that cascaded down to her feet, but slit up to a shocking degree on her thigh. Tiny spaghetti straps turned to a plunging V neckline and on the other side turned to a low backline, nearly at her tailbone. He landed on his hands and knees beside her and found his eyes fixed upon the slit and the creamy leg showing. He turned bright red and tore his gaze away from the sight. The said girl at this point was extremely red and trying to figure out where her savoir had come from. Her friends surrounded her and plucked at the satiny material, shaking their heads as they stared at their best friend. "Well it sure does look great on you," Minako said at last. "Yes, you look quite elegant," Ami added but was cut off by Makoto. "And sexy! Damn you look totally sexy! And guys couldn't help but fall for you in that getup," "Odango Atama?!!?" a masculine voice belonging to a certain forgotten superhero choked behind them. All 5 girls whirled to face a stunned, hatless Tuxedo Kamen staring unabashedly at the petite leader in the lingerie. She went utterly pale, a huge contrast from the red she had been before as her eyes widened. "Mamoru-san?!" she whispered, afraid. He stood towering over the girls and brushed the mask from his eyes. The reality of the situation suddenly struck her as she yelped "Mamoru-san!" and crossed her arms over her chest. "Little Usagi is Sailor Moon?" he whispered, stunned. "Little Usako who I could crush with my bare hands is the champion of Love and Justice?" "USAKO?!?!?!?!?" repeated the 4 senshi as Usagi whispered "Usako?" to herself. Mamoru realized his mistake and colored. Minako smiled as she got one of her Venus intuitions. "Well I think we'd better leave Usagi-chan and Mamoru-san alone to work out their differences," she hinted, then sighed and dragged them away when they just kept staring at the unfolding scene in front of them. 'Oh Shit!!! What did I do that for? Why did I call her Usako? Oh crap!' Mamoru thought. 'Oh my, what did he call me? I heard Usako and the girls heard Usako why Usako my little rabbit what the heck? Oh my,' Usagi thought. "U...Usako?" she asked. "Umm...well...you see...I...umm..." Mamoru stuttered. They slowly started walking to the bench overlooking the lake and sat down. "Since when have I been Usako?" she asked quietly. "Since umm...well the first week we met..." he trailed off, looking down. She went pale. "The first week?" she whispered, then stood up quickly. "I need to get home." And she walked very quickly away, her thoughts in a jumble. Mamoru sat on the bench a few minutes longer before heading home himself. ****************************** "No please minna-chan! I really don't feel good; I need to go home. I just can't come into the arcade with you, so quit dragging me," Usagi whined as her friends steered her towards the doors of the Crown Arcade. "Nope Usagi, we all know you're not sick and we want to know what happened with Mamoru last night," Minako argued. "Yup, we want all the details and an explanation for that totally romantic name!" Makoto added. Usagi sighed, poking her head into the arcade, scanning it for a certain black-haired life form. "He's not here so can we go already?" Usagi asked and was pushed inside for her response. "Nope we'll wait till he shows," Rei said. Meanwhile the man in question was indeed in the arcade, but in the staff lounge with Motoki, discussing the events of the previous night with his best friend and confidante. "And just as the senshi and I we about to leave, Usagi shows up, I can't say how, but she shows up in this piece of lingerie a long, navy, low cut negligee with a huge slit and spaghetti straps. Usagi, my Odango Atama looking so elegant and well, sexy. I was so shocked I fell out of the tree I was in..." He was interrupted by Motoki's laughter. He glared at his friend and continued. "And I opened my big mouth and said Odango Atama and she figured me out..." "Wait, the senshi?" Motoki asked. "Well umm...they sorta figured out too when she said Mamoru-san..." "But there are lots of Mamoru's so why should it give your identity away..." "Usagi is Sailor Moon, Ok?" Mamoru snapped. Motoki's eyes widened. "Little Usagi is Sailor Moon?" he asked incredulously. Mamoru nodded. Motoki stood and ran out to the main room and spotting Usagi walked over to her, then around her, staring at her from all angles. (AN: for those of you who've seen the Super S movie, it's like what Chibi-Usa did to Peruru when she first saw him.) Usagi started to blush and look at him strangely. "Are you Ok Motoki? Do you need anything?" she asked. "Yeah are you feeling Ok Motoki?" Makoto asked. His head shot up and he stared at Makoto and his eyes widened. He whirled and stared at Ami, his eyes widening even more, then stared at Rei, eyes still widening then finally staring at Minako his eyes as big as saucers. "Kami-sama," he muttered then turned to go back to the back room. "What was that all about?" Usagi asked. Rei narrowed her eyes. "I think Mamoru spilled your secret." Usagi gasped and ran after Motoki. She entered the room to hear Motoki say, "Once I knew that Usagi was Sailor Moon, I just had to look at the others and I could see the unmistakable resemblance that I couldn't see before." "That's because of the glamour," Usagi drawled from the doorway. "And may I ask how you found out?" "Well Mamoru let it slip out when he was telling me about last ni..." He shut up when Mamoru elbowed him. "Motoki knows all about me, and I discuss my mission with him," Mamoru said, looking down. The girls were at the door now and they grabbed Motoki. "Come with us, Usagi and Mamoru have things to discuss." Then they pulled him out with them and closed the door. Mamoru sighed and decided to come clean. "Usagi, the reason I called you Usako last night is well...you're always Usako to me. It's the way I call you in my thoughts and how I want to call you..." he trailed off. 'Oh no you don't,' Usagi thought. 'You've screwed me up as much as you possibly can, then you'll tease me when I take it wrong. I'm not falling for it Mamo-chan.' "Thanks Mamoru, I love having the fact that I'm short rubbed in my face..." he interrupted her by grabbing her shoulders a bit roughly. "Don't you get it Usagi?" he yelled, shaking her a bit. "I love you and I've loved you since the moment we met!" He then pulled away and looked down towards the ground. "Do you really mean it Mamoru?" she whispered. At the sound of her tiny whisper, he decided to prove it once and for all. He whirled around pulled her into his arms and kissed her with all the love and passion he had been holding back all those months. She melted into the kiss any more thoughts of rejection completely lost as she responded with as much love and passion as he was pouring into the kiss. When they finally broke apart for desperate need of breath, Usagi laid her head on his chest and whispered the words he most wanted to hear. "I love you too, Mamo-chan." He chuckled. "And to think it was a gorgeous negligee that brought us together," he said capturing her lips again. From outside the door five pairs of eyes peeked through the crack of the door, sighing at the sight of the couple so totally into each other they didn't even notice the audience. The End. Hey Minna! So did you like? *giggles* Inspiration for this short came from the Victoria Secret scene from Lilac Summer's "First Truths." And from a certain shopping trip to West Edmonton Mall with my Best friend and her boyfriend where I saw the most perfect negligee. Actually at the start of the fic the negligee was in the store, but as I write this now, I am wearing the negligee I put Usagi in (although the backline isn't that low.) Comments can be sent to moon_princess_77@hotmail.com cause I love feedback! *giggles* you should see the pic I have of my Best friend trying to drag her boyfriend into La Senza so I could buy it. It's priceless! Happy New Year! Selene
