I'm in BIG trouble, and I don't know what to do. Oh I'm
sorry minna-San, I didn't introduce myself to you. My name
is Chiba Mamoru, some of you may know me as Prince
Endymion, others may prefer to call me The Moon Light
Night, but most of you like to refer to me as Tuxedo Mask.
And -as you may already know- I'm in love with a beautiful
young lady called Usagi Tsukino, who's also known as
Princess Serenity of the moon, or SailorMoon. Huh? You
ask what the problem is? Well *cough* *cough* you see
minna...heh...I'm errr...I'm in my apartment with my
Usako...err and I'm supposed to.....*blush* to explain the
'Facts of Life' to her *cough *. OH GOD, how should I
explain that to her?? Did ANY of you EVER explain 'The
Facts of Life' to your fiancée??? Isn't it the parents' job to
do that?? What should I say? Tell her about the birds and
the bees, or WHAT? HOW DID I GET INTO THIS MESS
IN THE FIRST PLACE? What minna?? You think that I'm
crazy??? Oh I get it, you think that my Usako already
knows about the birds and the bees, right? Well, she did
know about it before, but she doesn't any more. You
see.....Oh tell you what.... I'll start from the beginning so
that nobody gets confused okay? okay.  It all began 5
months after defeating Galexia............ 

       ******************************

"Hey Motoki, listen, I have to hang up now. I have a date
with Usako." I said to my friend
"Sure buddy. Oh and tell Usagi-chan that the new Sailor V
game arrived, will ya?"
"I sure will. Usako wont forgive me if I didn't tell her." I
said jokingly. I knew Usako would forgive me for anything,
I did many stupid things and she always forgives me. My
Angel, I love her so much. After I hung up the phone, I
took a quick shower and got ready for dinner. Usako was
waiting for me at the cherry blossom temple, she and the
other girls had a senshi meeting there. I know what you're
thinking minna, you're thinking why would they have a
senshi meeting if Glaxia was already defeated? Well, the
answer is.. Because every now and then a monster escapes
from the Dark World and comes to disturb the peace on
earth. These monsters - or Yoma's as we call them - aren't
hard to defeat, and they never cause any serious damage,
but the good thing they does is keeping us in shape, without
them, we wouldn't have any respectful training what so
ever. Now, getting back to my story, I arrived at the temple
at approximately 7 PM, and found Usako sitting on the
steps with her friends. I stood at the beginning of the
Temple's steps, thirty steps between me and the giggling
girls, and waved my arm in a hello. Each of the girls
greeted me the same way they always did. Minako waved
back with a wink, Ray just nodded her head smiling, Amy
looked up from a book she was reading and murmured a
hello then got back to her book, Makoto raised her
eyebrows and said hello. And Usako, my Darling Usako,
came running down the steps as soon as she saw me.
"MAMO-CHAN" she screamed happily, throwing herself at
me and hugging me.
"Hi Usako, I hope I didn't keep you waiting, did I?" I said,
hugging her back
"No you didn't." she said, smiling.
"Good." I said, and then held her chin up and kissed her
very gently on her mouth
"I love you." I whispered in her ear. Since the day we got
rid of Galaxia, I've been saying that to her every single day,
I never got tiered from saying it, and she never got tiered
from hearing it. I think that our relationship now is better
than ever. In the past, we loved each other, but we never
understood each other. Now we love AND understand one
another. Now Usako just looks at me and knows what I
want and how I feel, and with one look at her beautiful
eyes, I can tell what she's thinking about.
"That's enough you two, don't forget you're in a temple."
Said Ray, coming down the stairs with the other girls.
"Besides, Meatball head told me that you're dinner
reservation was for 7:30. So you better hurry up."
"Stop calling me that." Said Usako in irritation.
"Calling you what? Oh you mean meatball head? Well I'm
only saying the truth, you ARE  a meatball head."
"Well being a meatball head is much better than having a
dragon face."
"Why you....you BRAT."
"PYRO."
"KLUTZ"
"FIRE BREATH."
And then the tongue war began. I swear, Some times, those
two are worse than little children. I tried, with the help of
the others, to make them stop this nonsense, but with no
success, no one ever succeeded at stopping a tongue war
between Usako and Ray. It's 7:15, we have to go now, or
we'll lose our table. I could only do one thing to stop this
whole thing, I picked up Usako and carried her on my
shoulder like a sac of potatoes. And - to my utter
amazement- she continued her war, until Ray was out of
view.

We arrived to the restaurant right on time, I parked my car
and opened the door to my Usako. We entered the
restaurant, and asked the host for our table. He asked us to
take a seat while he gets our table ready. We sat down
waiting for our table.
"It's fancy meeting you two here." Said a voice behind me,
making my Usako and I turn around to see who it was.
When I turned around, I saw Micharu and Haruka by the
door.
"Haruka-chan, Micharu-chan, I'm so happy to see you."
Said my Usako cheerfully, and went to them and hugged
them both at the same time.
"I'm happy to see you too Usagi-chan. I was just telling
Haruka that we should visit you soon, right Haruka?"
"yeah, we haven't seen you for two weeks little one, did you
forget about us or something?" said Haruka to my Usako. I
know this sounds silly minna, but I never liked Haruka
being in the same room with my Usako. Don't get me
wrong minna-san, I like Haruka, she and Micharu became
two of my best friends, but that doesn't mean that I like it
when she's near Usako. I know that Haruka loves Micharu,
but that never stopped her from looking at others, including
my Usako.
"Ofcourse I didn't. Mamo-chan is taking me to your car
race tomorrow, right Mamo-chan?" said Usako, bringing
me out of my thoughts.
"Oh umm, yes, I can't wait for the race tomorrow. I'm sure
you're gonna get the first prize, as usual." I said politely.
"She always does." Smiled Micharu proudly.
"And how's that bike of yours, Mamoru?" asked Haruka
with a sly smile. That's another thing about Haruka, she's
ALWAYS trying to buy my bike, and she offers to buy it
EVERY time she sees me.
"You never give up, do you?" I said, grinning.
"Never, and I always get what I want."
"Not this time."
"Ugh, would you two PLEASE stop talking about this
stupid bike, you talk about it every time you meet. This
subject is really getting boring" Said the irritated Micharu.
"But Micharu, I HAVE to get it. It's a classic 316 Harley,
they only made ten of those." Said Haruka. "Okay Mamoru,
you win, name your price." She continued, looking at me.
"Read my lips Haruka, IT'S NOT FOR SALE."
But she, as usual, couldn't take no for an answer and kept
convincing me to sell it.
"Micharu is right, you never stop talking about this bike."
Said Usako angrily.
"You're table is ready Sir." The table gestured to us to come
with him to our table.
"Let's go eat dinner Usagi, and leave these two to their
unstoppable bike talk." Said Micharu grabbing Usako's
arm.
"Sure, let's go." Said Usako, and started walking with
Micharu.
"We're gonna take that table, and give the other table to
those two when it's ready." Micharu told the waiter, and
pointed at us.
"Sure Ma'am." He said, and led them to the table.
"See what you did??????? You ruined my date with Usako.
It's all you're fault." I turned to Haruka and said angrily.
"No it's not. It's your fault, if you only agreed on selling me
that bike, nothing would've happened." She said stubbornly.
I was about to deny that it was my fault when I saw Usako
and Micharu walking toward us very fast, something was
wrong, I could see that in my Usako's eyes.
"C'mon you two, we have to go, it's urgent." Said Micharu,
and without another word, we walked out of the restaurant.
We decided to go in one car. Usako and I took the front
seats with me driving and Micharu and Haruka took the
back seats, and when we got settled in, Usako started
explaining what happened.
"When we were just about to order, sailor Mercury beeped
me and told me that there's an emergency." Said Usako.
"She said that a big comet was coming to earth very fast,
and we should stop it before it hit earth or it'll destroy all of
Tokyo."
"Did they try to stop it?" I asked.
"Yes, but they couldn't." answered Micharu.
"And where are we going now? Oh wait, don't tell me....
Tokyo's Central Park, right?" said Haruka.
"How did you know?" asked Usako.
"Troubles ALWAYS start there, you should know that by
now." Said Haruka, shrugging her shoulder. I gotta agree
with her there, most of our problems started there,
sometimes I just wish they close that cursed park, but then
again we had some wonderful times there.

   When we arrived to the park, we transformed and ran to
the location Mercury described to Usako. At the scene we
saw Mercury, Mars, Venous, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto. I
was surprised to see Pluto and Saturn, the situation must be
very critical if those two are here.
"Hi guys." Said Usako and ran to her friends.
"What's the situation, Mercury?" asked Uranus.
"Not good." Stated Mercury without taking her eyes off her
mini computer.
"We can't just stand there, we have to do something." Said
Neptune.
"Do what? The only solution that Mercury could think of is
to destroy that thing before it gets to earth." Said Venous.
"But it's out of our range, we can't do that." Said Pluto.
"I can." We all looked toward Usako, I hope she doesn't
mean what I think she means.
"You can? How Sailor Moon?" asked Saturn.
"I'll fly to the comet and destroy it." She simply said.
"NO WAY, you're NOT going to this thing. You could get
hurt. I will NOT allow you to do this." I said, looking her
straight in the eye.
"Bu...but Mamo-chan, I can do it, it's the only way to save
earth."
"Sailor Moon is right, it's the only way." Said Mars
"I agree." Nodded Jupiter.
"I suggested this option to my computer and it says that she
has a 99.99% chance to succeed in that. Pretty good
statistics if you ask me." said Mercury, getting her eyes off
her computer for the first time.
"You see Mamo-chan? I can pull this off."
"But Usako, there's a 00.01 chance that you may fail. And I
can't take that chance." I said stubbornly.
"Please Mamo-chan, let me go, I'll be extra careful, I
promise. Pleassssssssssssssse?"
She looked at me with those adorable eyes of her, and the
next thing I knew, I nodded in agreement. She smiled and
gave me a quick kiss and hug, and flew into the night sky,
like an angel going back to heaven. I looked at her and had
this irritating feeling that I'm not going to see her again, not
before a long time.
We all gathered around Mercury and stared at her
computer's screen. The screen was black and was divided
to many little squares by bright green lines. In the middle
there was a big red spot, with a white spot heading towards
it. Mercury told us that the red spot represented the comet,
and the white spot represented my Usako. I focused my
attention on the white spot, praying for my Usako to come
back safely. The white spot came closer to the red one and
then a white beam was separated from it and hit the red
spot, making it blow to pieces, which were soon vanished
from the screen. When the scouts saw that, they cheered
and clapped for my Usako. As for me, I kept looking at the
screen, there's something wrong with what I saw, but I can't
place my finger on it. Hmmm, oh my god, now I see it....
"Mercury come here FAST." I said, cutting the scouts little
victory celebration.
"What?' she said, coming towards me.
"Why did the spot representing Usako turned pink?" I
asked.
"Huh? I don't know" she said and started to type in her
computer fast.
Every body, gathered around us, trying to know what
happened. I explained what happened to them in a few
words, and looked back at Mercury for some answers.
"The computer says it's probably some particles from the
comet, which got stuck to her after the explosion. Nothing
to worry about Tuxedo Mask."
"Is she okay?" I asked, worried about my Usako.
"Yes, all her vital signs are good, nothing seem to be wrong
with her, you can ask her your self, she'll be here in about
30 seconds."
  When I heard that, I didn't say anything, I just looked at
the sky, waiting for Usako to come down. I know that Amy
assured me that nothing is wrong, but I have this nagging
feeling that Usako isn't all right. The senshi felt how
worried I was, so they stood quietly out of respect for my
feelings, and we all waited for Usako to get down.
  Half a minute later, I saw Usako flying down towards us,
but she was flying VERY fast, then I realized that she
wasn't flying, she was falling, so I ran to her and caught her
before she hit the ground.
The senshi gathered around us, obviously concerned about
their leader and princess, but I didn't give them any
attention, I focused all my attention on Usako, whom I held
very gently in my arms.
"Usako, are you alright? What happened?" I asked her,
deep concern in my voice.
"I told you I could do it Mamo-chan." She whispered
weakly, and without another word, she passed out.....
             **************************
I took Usako to my apartment, and placed her in my bed,
waiting for Mercury to check her up. Me, along with the
Senshi, waited for Mercury to finish her examination in the
living room. While waiting, Artemis and Luna came
through the window, and said something about Minako
calling them. The senshi explained what happened to
Usako, and when they finished, Luna was pretty upset to
say the least.....
After 3 tiring hours Mercury came out of the bedroom, and
started explaining what happened, and what she said was
horrifying, at least for me.
"I analyzed the substance that was on Usagi-chans uniform,
which resulted from the comet explosion, and apparently
she inhaled it. This substance had a wired effect on her."
Said Mercury. " You see all inhaled substances go through
the nasal cavity, the choana, the larynx, trachia, then the
lungs. How ever this substance made the Epiglottis close
and it went through the esophagus instead. And it dissolved
in her blood and found it's way to the Brachiocephalic
trunk, then the common carotid artery, which carried blood
to the brain through the internal and external carotid
arteries, affecting the brain, which forms with the Spinal
cord the CNS. And....."
"Amy would YOU PLEASE stop this mambo jumbo, I
don't understand a thing." Said Uranus, cutting her off. 
"Yeah, Haruka is right, just tell us what is wrong with
Usagi-chan, and use plain English, PLEASE." Said Venous.
"What I was trying to say before I was rudely interrupted.."
she said, looking at Uranus and Venous. "That this strange
substance didn't affect Usagi physically, it just affected her
mentally."
"What does that mean?" asked Pluto
"It means that physically, she is exactly the same, but
mentally she has the mind of a five year old kid, and she
lost all her memories as a consequence.........."
