Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon but I do own the ideas in this story that are mine.

Author's Notes: I got like 8 or 9 reviews!!! I am going to make it a minimum of 10
reviews for me to update from now on. Obviously you guys can do it. I am sorry that I
didn't update yesterday but I ran out of time because I had too much homework to do.
This will probably be kind of a short chapter. Who Knows?


~*Usagi's POV*~

"Usagi! Dinnertime!" Usagi heard her mother yell for her to come and eat.
'Great! A nice long tortuous family dinner with a brother that is incredibly
annoying, a dad who is way too protective, and a mom who is throwing me to the wolves
(AKA Mamoru-baka). Great, just great. This should be fun. <DERISIVE SNORT>.'
Usagi slowly got up from her bed where she had been moping for the last 20 minutes and
slowly made her way downstairs to the dining room.
"Hi honey. I called Mamoru and he is willing to tutor you everyday after school
starting on Monday." Her mother sounded very pleased with herself. Her father on the
other hand was not happy that his little was going to be tutored by a BOY.
"Ikuko, just how old is this boy?"
"I'm not exactly sure. Why don't you ask Usagi."
"He's 17 or 18. I think that he is a senior in high school."
"See honey, he's just the right age for a tutor.
"Ikuko I will not allow my little girl to be alone in a 17 year old boy's apartment
by herself for three hours a day. I will not stand for it!" Kenji declared this loudly and
his wife just smiled.
"You will or you will be sleeping on the couch mister. This will be a good thing
for Usagi. I think that he will be able to make her apply herself more. The antagonism
will help." Ikuko looked so positively determined that Kenji regretfully acquiesced to his
wife and conceded to Usagi's tutoring sessions. The rest of the dinner passed in a rather
bitter silence. As soon as it was over Usagi escaped to her bedroom and did her best to
not think about her tutor. She fell into a fitful sleep after a few hours and managed to
sleep until about 3 AM when her communicator decided to wake her. She fumbled
around and finally found it under one of many stuffed rabbits littering her bed.
"Moon here," she yawned.
"Youma in the park near the lake. Get here quick."
"Ok Mercury. I'll be there in a sec." She jumped out of bed, grabbed Luna and
jumped out the window. Luna awoke with a start as they landed.
"Usagi what are you doing?" She asked bewildered.
"Youma attack in the park. Again. Can't the Negaverse ever get a little more
creative in their attack sites?"
"Just transform already Usagi."
"Oh yeah, right. MOON PRISM POWER, MAKE UP!" The customary light
show and ribbons appeared as her pink pj's changed into her short-skirted fuku. 'I hate
this uniform,' she thought as she ran towards the park holding a yowling Luna. When
she arrived they saw a youma unlike any other. It was very short and squat and kind of
looked like the Michelin tire man except that he was bright red and decidedly non-jolly
looking.
"Mercury! Where's it's weak spot?" Sailor Moon was instantly in battle mode.
Mars blinked, surprised at her business like attitude but was soon focused on the youma
again.
"I think that it is in the right knee. A blow with your tiara should do the trick. If
that doesn't work give the moon wand a shot."
"Ok, here goes." Just as she was reaching for her tiara the youma shot a foamy
red streak at her. As usual a blood red rose blocked the attack inches before it reached
her.
"Finish your attack Sailor Moon," said the mysterious, elusive, and drop dead
gorgeous masked man also known as Tuxedo Kamen.
"Thanks Tuxedo Kamen. Ok, MOON TIARA MAGIC!" Her tiara shot towards
the youma and blasted through its' knee. With a glittering display of light, the youma
shrieked and blew into dust. "YES!! Moon-dusted yet again!" Sailor Moon was very
glad of a quick battle but as she looked around to thank Tuxedo Kamen, she saw he had
disappeared. "Darn't! Did you manage to get any data on him Mercury?"
"No Moon. He left before I was able to track him. I will have to try again next
time."
"Oh well. I had another idea this afternoon but I will tell you all about it
tomorrow at the arcade. 1 O'clock sound good to everyone?" A chorus of yeses
answered her question and all of the girls went on their separate ways back home.
~*THE NEXT MORNING*~

"<YAWN>, I wonder what time it is?" Usagi was just waking up. It was
Saturday morning and she was notorious for never opening her eyes before noon, which
was why, when she looked at the clock and saw that it was only 8:30 am, she almost
passed out. "My GOD. I am completely awake, willingly no less, at 8:30 am on a
SATURDAY! Something must be wrong with me. Hold on a sec. . . Do I smell
PANCAKES?" With that last oh so deep thought; Usagi was down the stairs in less than
ten seconds. Her mother turned as she sat down at the table and nearly jumped out of her
skin.
"Usagi! What on Earth are you doing up? Are you feeling okay? No you look
okay and you don't feel warm. Did Shingo play a trick on you with your clock again?"
Ikuko was now at a loss for words as she simply stared at her daughter.
"None of the above Mom. I just woke up and didn't feel the need to go back to
sleep. It surprised me too. Can I have some pancakes now?"
"Of course honey." Her mother handed her a large stack of pancakes. Usagi sat
at the table and piled them with butter and syrup.
"Mmmm. Mom these are soooo good. I can't remember the last time that I was
awake early enough to get any. This DEFINITELY makes me feel better about being
awake so early." Usagi sat quietly and munched on her pancakes. After finishing two
more stacks in less than five minutes she ran back upstairs and got ready to go. As she
was putting up her hair she began thinking about her upcoming tutoring sessions with
Mamoru.
'Oh why did mom have to get such a horrible idea? Now I have to spend my
precious arcade time studying. I hope that he let's me have an occasional day off.' She
finished her hair, grabbed her bag, and ran down the stairs. "Mom I'm going to the
arcade to surprise Motoki. I'm supposed to meet the girls there so I won't be home for
lunch, okay?"
"That's fine honey. Here's a little extra cash in case you need it. Have fun and be
back in time for dinner." She waved goodbye as her daughter raced out the door. As it
was slammed shut her husband came down the stairs looking sleepy-eyed.
"Who just left honey? Did Shingo have an early game or something?" He sat
down at the table as Ikuko put a plate pancakes down for him.
"That was Usagi. She was on her way to the arcade." Ikuko waited expectantly
for the coming response and was not disappointed.
"What time is it? How late did I sleep?"
"It's about 9 O'clock honey," said Ikuko calmly.
"Then why was Usagi up? She hasn't gotten up before noon on a weekend since,
well, since she started kindergarten. Is she feeling alright?"
"She's feeling fine, especially so after the three stacks of pancakes she just ate.
She is going to spend the day with her friends and will be back in time for dinner. Now
eat your pancakes before they get cold."

That's all for now folks. Remember I won't be updating now unless I get at least 10
reviews for each chapter. Yes it's true I have resorted to blackmail. I am just so
desperate for reviews. Also, anyone with REAL CRITICISMS about my writing would
be greatly appreciated. I would like any feedback possible. Thanks again.
