"The Time Has Come"
Part 6

Mamoru had told Usagi that she was welcome to stay the night and he insisted on it. So she gave in with little argument. Now she was asleep in his bed while he was sprawled out on the couch.
Usagi woke up and could see Mamoru asleep, through the open door. His blanket had fallen off and it was a fairly cold night. She quietly walked out to the couch and put the blanket back on him. Unable to suppress the urge, she brushed back some of the locks of black hair that fell over his closed eyes. She smiled at his peaceful looking face and kissed his cheek.
"Sleep well Mamo-Chan." she whispered.

With in two days Usagi was back to her normal self and singing again at the cafe.
"So have you told her yet?" Sean asked Darien as he cleaned some glasses.
"No it's not the right time."
"Why not?"
"It just isn't."
"Isn't what?" Usagi asked as she walked up.
"Nothing don't worry about it." Darien smiled as she headed up to the stage.
"Face it Shields," Sean said, "you KNOW you're nuts about her. Just tell her."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"She only sees me as a friend."
"But she obviously loves Tuxy."
"That's just it. Tuxedo Keman. Not Mamoru Chiba."
"Who? Oh your birth name, forgot sorry man."
"It's ok."
"Just tell her. Usa will understand and love you any ways. Man haven't you seen that look in her eyes when she talks to you?"
"What look?"
"Never mind. She's up."

Usagi took the microphone from the last singer and smiled as the music started up.

I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard
to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned,
'till then
It will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once,
I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can't take that from me
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned,
'till then It will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again
If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned,
'till then It will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again

At the end she bowed as everyone clapped.
"You're up Darien!" Kemmy called. Just as he was getting on the stage the front window shattered, and a green and black tiger with red glowing eyes started to attack everyone.
"MOON CRISIS MAKE UP!!!" Usagi cried from behind the counter. Mamoru jumped into the back room and transformed as well. He got there first and tackled the tiger. Jamming a steel tipped rose into it's back he paralyzed it.
"Sailor Moon finish it off!"
"Right! Moon Spiral Heart Attack!!!!!!!!!" the tiger turned to moon dust and vanished. "Tuxedo Keman! I've missed you!" She cried, threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. He was completely caught off guard and balance. They both fell to the floor and bunch of cat calls could be heard from the college students.

Afer a few minutes Moon pulled away, breathing heavily. There was curiosity in her eyes.
"Who are you my prince?"
"Can't you tell Princess?"
"No." she said sadly. Tux stood up and helped Moon to her feet as well.
"I'm afraid I must leave now. I will see you soon." He left and shortly after Moon did too.

When everything had calmed down and things were back to normal Mamoru took the stage again while Usagi sat at the bar with Sean and Kemmy.

I'm all dressed up
In my finest tatoo
Pretending I don't care
Guess I really messed up
By trying to be two
When only one heart can be there
Why can't I be
Just what I am
And speak my love
Without any shame
Why can't she see
Who I am
There's a costumed fool
Caught in a tragic game
Charades and pretty lies
They hide what's deep inside me
Charades to disguise
All the love I keep in side me
Charades conceal me
But can you feel
The real me
The real me
Behind my charades
Oh please don't mind me
Preforming at my hardest
As I paint upon the air
You won't find me
Cause it's a portrait of the artist
As the man who isn't there
Charades and pretty lies
They hide what's deep inside me
Charades to disguise
All the love I keep in side me
Charades conceal me
But can you feel
The real me
The real me
Behind my charades
Can't you feel the real me
Behind my charades
Have I lost the real me
Behind my charades

As he was singing Mamoru had to work hard to hold back his tears, but his true emotions rang true through the song.
