It was now noon. Usagi had already eaten her lunch and was on good terms with her family.
Now she would need to explain everything to her friends and Mamoru.
"Luna, should I tell Mamo-chan first? Or Naru-chan?"
"Which one is more important to you?"
Usagi looked out the window irratated. "They are both important to me."
"Mamoru-san still doesn't know what happened yesterday, right?"
"Hai. Naru-chan was there..." She threw her arms up in frustration. "I don't know!"
Just then her mother called up to Usagi. She said she had a visitor.
"Watch, I bet it's Mamo-chan or Naru-chan." She said cynically.
--------------
Usagi went downstairs and saw a young woman dressed in a dark blue business suit with a skirt.
The woman was also accompanied by a tall man with a video camera.
"Hello, my name is Morgan Parse. I am a reporter for JNN (Japanese News Network)" Morgan said.
"We would like an interview with you."
"Excuse me? Why do you want to interview me?"
The camera man chuckled and Morgan continued. "Because you are Sailor Moon, am I right?"
Luna stepped down the stairs and sat at the base of them. She wondered how Usagi would handle
the situation.
"Gomen, you must be thinking of someone else. I'm not Sailor Moon. I think you want to talk to
Kagetsu. She's my friend. I'll go get her!" Usagi darted away before the two people could say
anything else. Luna followed her.
-------------
"Lunnnnaaa..." Usagi whined as she looked for her transformation pen. "Do you know where I put
the pen?"
"Did you check where your old Sailor Moon items are?"
"Oh! I forgot all about that! Thanks Luna!" Usagi grinned as she pulled the pen out of a box.
Tapping the pen on her lip she giggled. "Luna, would you give me hand getting rid of the
reporter?"
Luna looked at her friend. "What do you want me to do?"
"Stand there." Usagi pointed to the area in front of her.
"Now what?"
"Just don't move."
"Usagi-chan? What are you doing?" Luna asked.
"You'll see." The feline starred at her frustrated.
"Pen! Turn Luna-"
"Ahh! Usagi-baka! Don't-" Luna's voice was lost in the rest of Usagi's transformation spell.
"-into a girl that could never possibly be Sailor Moon!"
A bright pink light flowed from the pen to Luna. Luna transformed into a girl a little taller
than Usagi with dark purple hair that flowed in waves just past her waist. Luna was now
wearing a spaghetti strap flower dress. The dress hung at her knees. Luna, now
human, looked at herself in the full-length mirror. She gasped.
"Usagi-chan...is this what I would like if I was human?"
Usagi sighed and started complaining. "Kuso, you were supposed to be ugly! Now you are almost as
pretty as me! I can't believe this! Damn pen!" She angrily tossed the pen on the bed and
sulked.
"Usagi-baka, quit complaining. I'll still help you out." Luna smiled. "Remember, you wanted
me to be Kagetsu."
Usagi brightened. "That's right! Arigato, Kagetsu!" She giggled and the two walked downstairs.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
The camera man and Morgan were now sitting in the living room. Morgan stood up when the two
entered the room. "Hello, my name is Morgan." She said going right over to where Kagetsu stood
while ignoring Usagi. "Am I correct in assuming you are Sailor Moon?"
"Hai, I am Sailor Moon. What is it that you want?" Kagetsu answered.
"I would simply like an interview with you. You know, to find out why you are Sailor Moon, and
things like that."
"Why?"
The simple question caught Morgan off guard. "Because, err...you have many fans as well as many
more that would like to know everything about you. May we start the interview?"
"Hai."
Morgan's eyes looked at Kagetsu perplexed but started the interview. "Let's start from the
beginning..."
"Are you Sailor Moon?"
"Hai."
"How long have you been Sailor Moon?"
"Since I was 14."
"Are you happy being Sailor Moon?"
"Hai."
"Do you ever wish you weren't Sailor Moon?"
"Hai."
"Has it been difficult being Sailor Moon?"
"Hai."
"Why did you decide to become Sailor Moon?"
"I didn't have a choice."
Morgan raised an amused eye. ::She didn't have a choice? Let's really start this interview now.
No more of these yes or no questions::
"Why didn't you have choice?"
"I just didn't."
"Could you please elaborate?"
Kagetsu sighed. "Have you ever had to do anything in your life where you didn't have a choice?"
Morgan looked at the young girl. "I have had to do many things where I didn't have a choice."
"Then my previous answer is suffcient."
The reporter gripped her notepad irratated. "Why won't you give me straight answers? There are
so many people who want to know the truth about you, why won't you let them know?"
"If everyone knew my secrets then there wouldn't be a planet to protect. I don't expect you to
understand that, so, this interview is over. You know enough." Kagetsu stood up and began to
leave the room.
"Wait!"
Kagetsu didn't stop.
"I have a picture!" Usagi gasped as Kagetsu stopped dead in her tracks. She slowly turned
around to face Morgan and the camera man.
"What picture?" Kagetsu asked, her voice's calmness betraying what she really felt.
Morgan smiled slyly. "This picture." She held it out in front of her.
Usagi stood next to Kagetsu as they both looked at the picture. The picture was of Eternal
Sailor Moon looking at Akurei who was holding Naru. The two girls sighed with relief. It wasn't
of Usagi transforming.
"Now, do you mind telling me why you look so different from Sailor Moon? I expected you to have
the same hairstyle or at least the same hair length or color. Why is it that you look so
different from Sailor Moon?" The reporter made the connection that Kagetsu didn't look like
Sailor Moon but didn't make the connection that Usagi did look like Sailor Moon.
Usagi looked at Kagetsu nervously waiting for her to answer. Slowly, Kagetsu answered, "When
I transform into Sailor Moon...magic..c-changes the way I look. That is why I look so different,
it is supposed to protect my identity."
"Uh huh. What if I were to tell you I didn't believe that story? And I also didn't believe you
were Sailor Moon? What would you say?" The camera man looked at Morgan shocked.
Usagi didn't utter a word as Kagetsu replied evenly, "Then you have a problem accepting the truth
now don't you? Good bye." Kagetsu walked up the stairs.
Usagi glanced around unsure of what to do. "I need to go too." She escorted Morgan and
her camera man to the door and quickly let them out.
"Bye." She started to close the door when Morgan's hand stopped it.
"How did you find out?" The reporter asked.
"Find out what?"
"How did you find out that Kagetsu was Sailor Moon?"
"I just...um...stumbled..on her secret. By-"
Once again Morgan cut her short of leaving, "Why didn't you tell anyone?"
Usagi turned and faced Morgan completely. She looked at her sternly and completely in the eyes,
"There are just some things you don't do. Good bye!" Usagi slammed the door leaving Morgan
irratated and confused.
"I don't understand those two! Having such a secret! And then not telling *anyone*!"
The ignorant reporter stalked off to her vechile.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
"Arigato, Luna." Usagi smiled and took out her pen. "Ready to go back?"
"Not quite yet, could I stay human a little longer?" Luna's eyes pleaded.
Usagi smiled. "Hai. Thank you so much for doing what you did. Do you want to go to the arcade?
Maybe we could have some fun before I have to tell everyone."

Author's notes:
I know! I know! This chapter is really short! But I thought there needed to be a run in with a
reporter. Do you honestly think one could stay away from something like this?
I will write and upload the next chapter tonight, hopefully it will show up tonight also. FF.net
can be a little slow sometimes. The next chapter will be with Usagi and 'Kagetsu' at the arcade
and they might have a little explaining to do too^_^
I promise after the next couple chapters there will be more than explaining in them. I have a
pretty good idea for a subplot. I think you all will like it. Ja ne!
