After eating a small dinner of chicken, pasta, and cookies, Usagi and Mamoru simply sat on his couch, talking quietly to each other, their hands clasped on Usagi’s stomach as she leaned back against his chest.

The two were close to falling asleep in their position until they heard a rapid knock on his apartment door. Mamoru’s face immediately let Usagi know that he didn’t know who could be at the door when she turned to ask. She blink and watched as he went to answer the door, only to hear him call out in surprise a moment later.

She blinked and looked around for her broach which she had left on Mamoru’s nightstand. She braced herself for some sort of attack, but nothing could have prepared her for the triple team glomp that had come from Makoto, Rei, and even timid little Ami. She laughed, and called out. “Guys, I love seeing that you missed me, but I’ve got to breathe!”

The three laughed and quickly took seats on Mamoru’s couch.

Rei was the first to speak once they were all settled, with the newest blonde taking a seat in a nearby chair, leaving Mamoru to lean against the door frame watching the girls. “How are you feeling, Usagi-chan?”

“Nice time to be asking that after getting tackled, but I’m fine, Rei-chan,” she answered, sticking her tongue out at the miko.

“Then I am guessing that you feel like meeting the newest senshi to join us,” said Ami as she looked over at Minako, who was looking almost nervous.

“You must be Sailor Venus,” said Usagi. “Um…. Mind if I ask-”

“Aino Minako,” said the blonde before Usagi had a chance to finish her question.

“Wow… You knew what I was going to ask before I even asked it,” said Usagi. “I’m Tsukino Usagi, and I’ve got to say that I love that bow in your hair. It’s so pretty.”

Minako felt herself relax as the blonde spoke and couldn’t help joking. “It’d better be. I am the senshi of love and beauty you know.”

“Oh lord… We’ve got two Usagis now don’t we?” said Rei in playful mockery.

“Better than having two pyros,” retorted Usagi as she noticed Ami taking her minicomputer from her subspace pocket. “Whacha up to, Ami-chan?”

“I just want to run a quick scan of you to make sure that you’re really all right. To make sure that there aren’t any negative side effects of what has happened over the past few days. You don’t mind, do you Usagi-chan?” questioned the blue haired girl.

Usagi shook her head and smiled. “Better safe than sorry right?”

“That’s the spirit, Usagi-chan,” said Makoto. “Besides, you wanna be sure that you will fully be able to enjoy the dinner I am planning on making when you are fully recovered.”

“You’re going to be making dinner?!” squealed Usagi as she looked at the brunette with stars in her eyes, causing the Amazonian girl to laugh, and nod nonetheless.

“Of course. You deserve it after all that you’ve been through,” Makoto told her.

“Arigato, Mako-chan!” exclaimed the blonde as she tackled the brunette.

Mamoru watched the scene and laughed at the girl’s behavior. He was glad to see that she hadn’t been too badly affected by everything that had taken place, or the merge with the princess.

Usagi looked to Mamoru with a smile on her face. “Do you have any cookies?” she asked innocently.

He raised an eyebrow at her question. “I had almost forgotten about your appetite,” he said simply.

“What?” she asked, confusion clear on her face. “What is that supposed to mean?”

“Nothing, Just glad to see that you’re back to normal,” he told her before turning to head into the kitchen. “I’ll go see about those cookies… Usako.”

The four girls turned their full attention on the blonde when they heard the pet name.

“Usako? Since when have you and Mamoru-san been so close?” questioned Ami as she watched the blonde’s face turn bright red under the gaze of the four of them.

“Yeah, Odango, what haven’t you been telling us?” inquired Rei.

“I thought you two couldn’t stand each other. I should have guessed that there was something going on between you two,” teased Makoto.

“Mako-chan! Rei-chan! Ami-chan!” exclaimed Usagi as she grabbed a throw pillow and hid her crimson face behind it, all the while hearing Mamoru laughing in the kitchen before he walked back into the room with a plate of chocolate chip cookies.

“Having fun girls?” he asked.

“Mamo-chan, I am going to get you for this!” Usagi all but shrieked.

“Mamo-chan?” said Minako as she looked to Mamoru, whose cheeks grew lightly colored. “I’ve gotta say, it is a kinda cute nickname.”

He cleared his throat and looked to the others on the couch. “And just how are you planning on getting even with me for this?”

She glared at him over the pillow and an evil glint came to her eyes. “You are not going to touch me in any way for two weeks, and if these girls want any of their questions answered, then I suggest they make sure that you don’t.”

The four girls blinked and immediately stood in front of the blonde, making Mamoru realize that he was out of his league.

“That’s just being cruel to yourself. Especially since we all know that you are the one who is constantly crashing into me,” Mamoru retorted.

“Want to go for two months instead of weeks?” Usagi threatened with a raised eyebrow. “I can always wake up earlier to get to school without having to run.”

Mamoru blinked and gulped when he realized that she was serious. “I apologize.”

“Good,” said Usagi with a triumphant little smirk on her face. “And because of that, you aren’t touching me for a week!”

Mamoru groaned, though the noise was drowned out by the giggles of the four senshi. “You can be cruel when you want to be,” he told her.

“I know,” she said simply. “I mean I did learn from you and Rei-chan.”

“Hey!” snapped the miko. “I never taught you that. Though I have to say that I am impressed. You are coming along faster than I expected Odango.”

“Arigato, Pyro,” said Usagi. “And you aren’t getting your answer until the end of the week.”

“That’s not fair!” said Rei only to get Usagi’s tongue stuck out at her in response. “Brat…”

Makoto listened to the two banter and whispered to Ami, “Do you think those two could be any more immature?”

Ami simply shook her head and looked to Minako. “Are you sure you’re ready for this much insanity?”

Minako simply giggled and nodded. “No worse than me and Artemis.”

“Oh, dear. We really do have another Usagi on our hands,” laughed Makoto.

“Speaking of that cat, are he and Luna done modifying the memories of Usagi’s family? We need to know how much time we have before we need to get her home,” said Ami.

“They said they would come here when they were done, didn’t they?” questioned Makoto as she watched Usagi and Rei get dragged into another of their infamous tongue wars.

“Yeah, so I’m guessing we have another twenty minutes before they arrive,” Ami said. “Think we should let Usagi know?”

“Nah, not right now. Let her and Rei drive each other insane for a bit,” said Makoto as she walked up to Mamoru and took one of the cookies off of the plate as he watched the two argue. “Welcome to the group,” she said simply.

“Thanks…”
