"You sure you said five?" Lita frowned.

"Positive," Usagi watched the road for his car. She and Mamoru had a date now. Lita had dropped Usagi off and offered to stay with her until he arrived, and Usagi was now grateful that she had. She muttered something darkly under her breath.

"Maybe you should call him," Lita suggested, taking her eyes off the ocean behind them to look at Usagi.

Usagi leaned against the boardwalk railing, not looking at Lita. "I'm sure he'll be here soon. He's probably just working on one of his stupid classes. It isn't MY problem if the sonovabitch can't keep track of time."

Lita frowned. "Usa, is something wrong between you and Mamoru?"

Usagi sighed and looked at her friend. "Actually, I wanted to ask you guys what you thought. It's like- like we just can't get along any more. All we ever do is argue."

"Then why not end it?" Lita asked.

"I've been asking myself the very same question."

They both looked up as a red car skidded down the street at top speed to park chaotically before them. Mamoru rolled down the window as they choked on the sand it had kicked up. "Hey."

"You're late, Mamo," Usagi coughed.

"Sorry, Usa, but I had to finish what I was working on. It took longer than I expected."

Lita looked at each of them, not liking what she saw. She hadn't missed the inflections in their voices when they had said each other's names.

"You could have called," Usagi was finally able to breathe. She and Mamoru glared at each other before remembering that Lita was there.

"Oh, hey, Lita," Mamoru said.

"Um, I should really be going now," Lita laughed nervously. The tension here was really rattling her. Stupid ESP… "I'll talk to later, yes, Usagi?"

"Sure," Usagi tried to smile. They both watched Lita leave before turning to one another again. "We still on?"

"Yes," he said somewhat irritably. "Get in."

As sunset fell, the five young men became somewhat restless, eager for the time when they could head out into the world. Clouds rolled in early, blocking out most of the light.

"Shinigami smiles," Duo grinned maliciously. "I'm heading out early. Who wants to come?"

"Isn't that dangerous, Duo?" Heero raised an eyebrow.

"I like to live dangerously," he shrugged.

"I'll come," Quatre said in a very tiny voice. They all turned to look at him. "It's nice to see where people go before the sun sets."

"Whatever floats your boat, pal," Duo shrugged and they left.

~~~%*%~~~

Usagi rolled her eyes and sighed in exasperation. They had wandered the boardwalk for two hours now and she was miserable. Mamoru had just gone to a pay phone to check in on someone he was working with on some 'huge project'. She didn't think she could take it anymore.

He came back a few minutes later, closing up a notepad and slipping it into his jacket pocket. "Sorry about that," he said, not meaning it at all.

"Mamoru…" she began.

"Usagi, I think we need to talk," he said abruptly.

"Uh, ok," she blinked in surprise. Perhaps this would be easier than she had thought.

"I think our relationship is… well, I think it's beginning to hit a slump. I think we need to do something to make it fresh and new again."

"Like what?" she studied his face, knowing that she should be picking up on what it was he was trying to say…

"Do you want to spend the night at my place?"

Shock slammed into her like a fist had just lodged itself in her stomach. She gasped and took a step back, stuttering. How could he suggest such a thing?! "You- you- you pervert!" she spat angrily.

"Usagi," he frowned down at her the way he would at a small child who was misbehaving and should know better. "We've been together for a very long time. I think we need to progress to the next level. Where else can we go from here?"

"I don't know about you, but I can go home!" She said furiously.

His eyes flashed with anger. "Usagi, you're acting like a child."

"Because I AM a child!" she cried. "I'm still in school, Mamoru! I don't want that kind of relationship!"

"Well I do," he said coldly.

"Forget it. You're obviously nothing but a jackass- I don't know why I ever went out with you in the first place," she started to turn and walk away.

"Usagi!" he grabbed her arm, yanking her towards him violently.

"Itai! Mamo- you're hurting me!" She struggled against his too-hard grip.

"I'm through putting up with you," he said dangerously, beginning to yank her towards his car.

"Mamoru!" real fear gripped her heart. He was still bigger and stronger than she- he wouldn't really, would he? Would he?

"Hey!" a new voice cried.

"Beat it, kid," Mamoru called over her shoulder at someone Usagi couldn't see.

"Please help me!" Usagi called, trying to twist around to see this new person, but he held her too firmly in place. "I don't want to go with him! He's hurting me!"

"The lady has spoken. She doesn't want to go with you. I think you should let her go," the new voice said boldly.

"I don't have time for games," Mamoru opened one of the car doors and threw Usagi at it.

"Ow!" she cried involuntarily as her back hit the roof of the car.

"I said, stop!"

The next thing Usagi knew, Mamoru was reeling, clutching his jaw and a young man of about her age was standing in front of her defensively. "You- you-"

"I think you had better go, Miss," the blond boy said through clenched teeth, readying himself to fight off the recovering Mamoru.
