Usagi dragged her feet behind her as she walked towards school. She normally ran at a breakneck speed, seeing as she was always running late, but today, she really just didn't care. She knew she was already late. What difference did being a little later make? She was taking a different route, to make sure she didn't run into him.But, unfortunately, the alternative route was longer. Usagi would've been pissed off at Mamoru if she had enough energy left in her.

Usagi arrived at school in the middle of first period.Needless to say, Ms. Haruna was not pleased. At all. So, to begin her day,Usagi got detention after school and lunch detention for the rest of the week. And she had to write an essay on punctuality and why it was important. And, to top it all off, Ms. Haruna told Usagi to have all of her make up work from the school she missed in by the end of the week. Usagi guessed that Ms. Haruna was dateless at the moment.
 
Hey, Usagi-chan! Are you okay? I mean, besides the obvious... Ms. Haruna's punishment was totally unfair! After your detention we should totally go shopping! I saw this super cute dress at the mall the other day! And it would look sooooo adorable on you!! And they have it your size, too! So, what do you say? A little retail therapy and them some lunch out? ;-)

Well, I'm as fine as anyone would be after the love of their life broke up with them for no reason, and their evil dateless teacher gave them an overload of work, and a cruel punishment. But thanks for asking anyway. Shopping sounds nice, I guess, but I should really do all of my extra work so Ms. Haruna doesn't kill me. And anyway, I just don't really feel like going out much right now. Thanks for the invite, though.

Aw, I know you've been through a lot, Usagi-chan. But cheer up! Mamoru-san will come crawling back to you and begging forgiveness in due time. You guys are soul mates! Who knows what's been going through Mamoru-san's mind lately, but he'll come to his senses soon enough. I can tell! They don't call me the senshi of love for nothing, you know! :) *waggles eyebrows* And don't you dare use the homework excuse on me, young lady! What you need is some fuuuun! If Ms. Haruna complains tell her it was my idea! I corrupted you! Haha. :) Pleaaaaaaaaase Usagi-chan? Pwetty pwetty pwease?

No, Minako-chan, Usagi-chan's right. She should really study hard, Ms. Haruna gave her a lot of work, and she does not want to fail. We can do something fun on the weekend. And, Usagi-chan, if you need any help with your studies, I would be more than glad to help. I am ahead in my studies at the moment, so I have some free time.

Thanks,Ami-chan. But I think I can manage my work by myself. And thanks, Minako-chan,but I don't think Ms. Haruna would fall for it. And Ami-chan's right, I don't want to fail. So I really should study. And thanks for trying to cheer me up, Mina-chan, but I think you've gotten it wrong. Mamoru-san really just doesn't love me, I guess. He sounded like he meant it. But I really don't want to talk about it.
~Usagi
 
Awwwww, Ami-chan way to ruin my plan! I was starting to wear her down! :(  Fiiiiiine. I guess I'll have to postpone our plans. Poo.  But this weekend! We are so hanging out!!! Here's what I'm thinking: shopping, shopping, lunch, shopping, manicures, pedicures, facials, and then a movie! And then dinner out! Watcha think? Genius, eh? And you're so wrong about you-know-who­, Usagi-chan, but I won't say anything else on the le subject. Heeheee, like my use of French?
≤3 ≤3 Aphrodite
 
Oi! Usagi-chan! I'm with Minako-chan, we need to do something to get you out of this depression! I understand, girl, but Mamoru's an ass, and you deserve so much better. Screw the whole soul mate thing! You can so find someone better. And who cares about school? I say we have fun now and study later!
- Makoto
P.S. If you change your mind about me beating about Mamoru for you.... just say the word, and I'll give him a taste of my fists! And super-charged electricity. He may be Tuxedo Kamen but he's no match for Sailor Jupiter!
 
Thanks, Makoto-chan. I really appreciate that you guys are trying to cheer me up. But I really just want to be on my own tonight. And you don't need to beat him up, but thanks for the offer. Really. I know you guys are trying to cheer me up, but like I said, I need to catch up on my homework.
~Usagi
 
Okay, Usagi, you can study if that's what you want, BUT no matter WHAT this weekend you are hanging out with us. I am sick and tired of this moping! Mamoru-san is a jerk and an idiot and you need to get over him. And, Minako-chan-- why the hell are you calling yourself Aphrodite?!?
~Rei
 
Oh, silly, silly Rei-chan. Don't you see? I'm the senshi of love, Aphrodite is the goddes of love! And I'm Sailor Venus, and Venus is the other name for Aphrodite. So, therefore Senshi of Love, Sailor Venus (AKA moii! :) ) =Aphrodite! Duhhh!
≤3 ≤3 Aphrodite
 
Unfortunately for Rei, the bell rang right then, preventing her from thinking up a witty excuse.  The rest of the classes, until right before lunch passed relatively uneventfully for everyone. None of the other teachers were as mean to Usagi as Ms. Haruna was, and everyone did their best to cheer up Usagi, even if none of it seemed to help much. But, unfortunately for Usagi, right before the 4th-period bell rang and they were dismissed for lunch, Rei had a vision. Of a youma attacking the park while they were sitting in class. Usually a youma fight wouldn't be too huge of a problem, seeing as the girls were quite good at coming up with excuses, but Usagi had lunch detention with Ms. Haruna. Missing the lunch detention would make Ms. Haruna angry, and making an already angry Ms. Haruna angrier is never a good idea.
 
"Ohhhh no, Ms. Haruna is going to skin me alive and EAT me! Even death by youma is surely better than death by Ms. Haruna!" Usagi wailed as the girls rushed outside so they could find a spotto transform.
"Don't worry, Usagi-chan. I'm sure we can think of something!" Makoto said.
"Yeah? Like what?" Usagi said.
"Um... uh... er... well, okay. I can't think of anything now, but later! Really." Makoto said.
"Come on you guys, we'd better transform!" Rei said.
"Right." Usagi nodded.
"Mercury star power!"
"Mars star power!"
"Venus star power!"
"Jupiter star power!"
"Moon crystal power!"
"Make up!"
In flashes of multi-colored lights, the Sailor Senshi stood standing, before running off to fight.
 
The youma was a big, ugly one, like all the others, but this one was particularly nasty. It threw rays of light which were razor-sharp, and also very, very hot. Hot enough to leave very serious burns if it directly touched your skin. And it wasn't just like a beam of light. It was solid, so if you got hit by one, it stayed there. Cutting you, burning you as well as draining your energy. Fun, right?
 
Several townspeople were lying, wounded on the ground, some unconscious, others screaming in fright or pain.
 
"Mercury! Attend to the peoples wounds!" Sailor Moon yelled.
Mercury, a little bit shocked ather leader's actual show of leadership hesitated a moment before nodding and running off to help the people.
 
"Jupiter Supreme Thunder!" A thick bolt of lightning shot out at the youma, but it only slightly grazed it,as the youma darted to the side at the last second.
"Damn it all!" Jupiter swore.
"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" The ray of light Venus sent the youma managed to hit it this time, but didn't seemto do much damage.
"Arrg! Why didn't that do anymore damage?" Venus said.
"Hmph, maybe you're just not good enough! Let me try!" Mars said. "Mars Celestial Fire Surround!" This hit the youma, and although it did a bit more damage, still not much.
"Ha, so much for that theory, Mars!" Venus stuck her tongue out at her friend.
"Merury, we need your help!" Moon yelled over to her friend. "None of our attacks are working!"
"Hmm.. let me see..." Mercury scanned it. "Aha! It seems that water-based attacks are the way to go. Shine Aqua Illusion!"
Sure enough, the attack hit the youma and weakened it considerably.
"Hit it, Moon!" Jupiter said.
Moon nodded before saying "Moon Princess Halation!" But, unfortunately, she missed.
"I can't believe I missed the stupid thing!! Arrg, I just can't believe it!" She fumed. However, while she was ranting about the stupid youma, she failed to notice a beam of light heading directly towards her.
"Look out!" Mars called frantically.
Moon turned just in time to see the razor-shap, white-hot, energy-draining beam heading straight towards her.
"Whoa! Whaaa!" Moon tried to turn and run, but only managed to get a little bit out of the way before she tripped.
"Owwwwww!!! Ow ow ow ow oww!! Damnit! Aaaaaccccch!" Moon yelled as the beam of light came in contact to her leg.
"Oh no!" Mars said, running over to her leader. But the youma was already shooting another attack at Moon, this time aimed directly at her chest. Mars knew she couldn't get there in time. And Moon certainly couldn't move because of her leg.
 
Right before the bolt hit, a tuxedo-clad figure swept the Moon soldier into his arms and bounded safely away, the beam hitting a tree instead.
"Are you alright?" Tuxedo Kamen asked, concered.
"Since when do you care?" Usagi mumbled.
Mars reached them then, and when she saw who it was holding her leader and friend in his arms, she became very, very mad.
"You! Just what do you think you're doing? You have no right whatsoever to touch her you bastard!" She yelled, furious.
"Just what are you talking about?" Tuxedo Kamen defended himself. "I saved her from the beam that was going to kill her! You should be thanking me for saving her, when obviously you couldn't do your job!"
"Okay, fine! Thank you, dear Tuxedo Kamen, for saving Sailor Moon." Mars said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Happy now? And yeah, you saved her, but where the hell were you when the first beam hit her leg? Huh? Do you have an excuse for that, Tux?"
"Where was I? Where were you?" he said. "You're supposed to be protecting her at all costs! You shouldn't need me to constantly save her!"
"I was on my way towards her! I was doing my friggin' best to save her! At least I tried to get to her! I wasn't just sitting back and watching!!" Mars yelled.
Tuxedo Kamen was about to say something, but was cut off by a groan from Sailor Moon.
"Oh, no, Usagi, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be wasting my time on this jerk, I should've been taking care of you." Mars said.
"Are you alright, Sailor Moon?" Tuxedo Kamen asked.
"What does it look like?" Mars snapped. "Anyway, I'll take her now."
Tuxedo Kamen tightened his hold on the barely conscious Saior Moon. "No, I have it under control."
Mars narrowed her gaze to glare,and said in a menacing voice, "Give. Her. To. Me."
"Like I said, I have it under control!" Tuxedo Kamen said.
"Put me down." Sailor Moon said, barely coherent.
"What?" Tuedo Kamen asked.
"I said, put me down!" Sailor Moon said with a bit more strength.
Reluctantly, Tuxedo Kamen put her down.
By this time all of the Senshi had arrived, and Jupiter quickly picked Sailor Moon up into her arms. With one last disdainful glance at Tuxedo Kamen, Mars turned on her heels to follow the other senshi, as they walked off to care for Usagi.
