Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Try to Resist ❯ Epilogue
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Hello all and welcome to the much demanded epilogue which I had already decided to write. As I told my best friend Necton_Minako last night, I had to have a little fun, right before she threatened to kill me if I didn't tell her who won the money. So read on to find out! Well it's 07:19 EST and the countdown is on! 25 hours until I board the plane and go to Tokyo for a year. Terror is killing me and for some reason I can't seem to stop crying! Thanks for all the emails people, and I hope to get more. Don't forget about me in the two weeks I'm gone! Hope you enjoy this chapter! Not much sarcasm as the well has finally run dry, but I have shared with all of you my finest insults, drawn from years of honing the art of verbal parry and thrust. Enjoy! Read and review but be kind. No flames. Don't forget about me people! Please let me know you'll still be here for me! (Ok, hysteria is setting in so I should stop typing now…and yet I can't!)
The breath intake when Usagi took Mamoru's hand was audible. She looked him in the eye, nodded and smiled…the air hummed with tension as people waited for the next dramatic hit, hearts still racing from Usagi's song and voice. Usagi laid down the microphone and hopped off the stage into Mamoru's arms. "So what's your answer?" he asked, his quiet voice clearly heard in the expectant silence.
"You stupid…idiotic…imbecilic…twit…" Usagi trailed off, heaving a huge sigh, then turned her face to his. "You are SO thick you know that right?"
"I need you to pound things through my head." He smiled. "If you want to."
"Do I REALLY want that job…?" Usagi mused.
"Oh COME ON ALREADY!" Minako practically screamed from two feet away, dancing from foot to foot as she vented what everyone else was feeling. "WHAT IS YOUR GODDAMNED ANSWER?"
"Listen you purple smurf," Usagi snapped. "I'll tell him if you'd just shut up."
Minako clamped her lips together and Motoki put a hand on her shoulder, trying to stop her from looking like a deranged jumping bean. "Usako?" Mamoru murmured. "You have ten seconds before I grab you and kiss the daylights out of you whether the answer is yes or no."
Usagi's eyes widened as she saw the raw passion in his eyes, a hunger that only she could fill. "I will love you until my dying day." She said clearly and watched as a few people fainted from overload. "My only love sprung from my only hate." She smiled. "You moron."
"You meatball headed…flat chested…"
Usagi grabbed his head and pulled it to hers, their lips meeting in a searing kiss that caused a round of wolf-whistles to go up as Minako danced a jig with Rei and Makoto. "I AM A GENIUS!" she chanted, barely heard over the cheers. Haruka rolled her eyes and reached for Minako and Michiru stopped her with a kiss of her own. Mamoru hauled Usagi off the floor and pressed her against the stage as his hands roamed her back. Usagi wrapped her legs around his waist, tangled her hands in his hair and was content to stay there in that moment for the rest of time.
Setsuna coughed discreetly, people waiting to hear the next words out of their mouth and determine who had won the pool. She kept the smile off her face, knowing that this lunacy that had ensued over the last month and a half would keep her entertained for the next fifty or so years. These two were the most humorous people she had ever seen and she was honoured that they were her future King and Queen. She had always loved and served Usagi only and that would never change, but now she'd humour Mamoru. When her discreet coughing went ignored, she sighed and decided drastic steps had to be taken. Placing both her hands on Usagi's shoulders, she gestured to Motoki and they yanked in opposite directions, Setsuna landing on the ground with Usagi on top of her looking dazed, Motoki on the ground with an angry Mamoru. "Come on Mamoru." Motoki smiled. "You both have a few other things to tell us and then we can figure out who won the pool."
Mamoru shook his head, his hair in his eyes making him look drop dead gorgeous. "Sorry Motoki and everyone here who is obviously part voyeur," he began.
"You two are the most amusing ticket in town! You think we'd miss out on this?" one voice raised from the back.
"But you'll have to wait until tomorrow to figure out who won the pool, because right now I'm taking my girlfriend back to my apartment to spend the night and the rest of my life making up with her. So figure that one out!" he held his hand out to Usagi who grabbed it tightly.
"Wait!" Rei called after him. "You're our ride! How are we going to get home?"
"Ask Haruka for a ride in her…what did you call it? "Outer Senshi Mobile.""
Haruka sneered at Mamoru, glaring at him with murder in her eyes. "You know I'm going to have to kill you now."
"I'll be going a happy man." Was his parting shot as they left the Mixer and a frustrated crowd.
Out in the parking lot Mamoru pulled Usagi to him again for a crushing kiss and swore he'd never let her go. She tasted too damn good. "Come on Usako," he whispered huskily. "What I have in mind is not for public consumption."
Usagi smirked and nodded, getting in his car, noticing he refused to let her hand go. "Don't you drive a stick?"
"Yes, just like you will very soon." He winked at her.
"Hentai!" Usagi elbowed him in the ribs. "What have I gotten myself into? You llama faced…"
"Are you ever going to stop insulting me?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because if I didn't insult you and have you fight me, then we wouldn't be going back to your apartment to make up." She replied blithely.
"Good answer." He nodded. Pulling into his building, he anxiously awaited the elevator and nearly tore down his door before locking it behind them and reaching for her again, noticing her looking around his apartment.
"Kinda boring." She commented, her hands on her hips.
"Feel free to fix it up whichever way you like." He smiled. A thought occurred to him. "When did you realize you loved me?"
"When I was onstage." She smiled.
"Seriously."
"When we were trapped in the elevator if you must know." She said irritably. "There was something there…in the air…"
"I felt it too." He confessed, pulling her into his embrace. "Before we stop talking for the rest of the night, I just want to point out that I promised you a month ago that you would crave my touch and the only thing you'd be able to speak would be my name."
Usagi's eyes widened. "And if you keep comments like that up, I won't be in your arms ever again and you're going to be a very…deprived man."
Mamoru chuckled as he realized he was never going to win a fight with his hellcat, and he really didn't care. She was his. Catching her lips in their deepest kiss yet, he crushed her against him and thought of nothing but the fact that he had won the greatest prize of all.
Motoki winked at Mamoru when he entered the café the next morning. "So how was your night?"
Mamoru had a faint flush on his cheeks. "Like I'm going to tell you stupid." He shook his head. "You owe me from our little side bet as well."
Motoki sighed. "It's bad enough I have to split this pot three ways anyway!" he protested. "Six thousand dollars Mamoru!"
"So? You get two thousand of it? I bet that no one ever thought the pot would go up that high."
"I only get a thousand of it moron. Remember I promised you half if you actually…"
Mamoru laughed. "Keep it Motoki. I just can't take your money."
"The hell I say." Motoki shook his head. "So what happened at your place last night?"
"The most incredible kisses on earth." Mamoru replied. "And that was it."
Motoki's eyes widened. "Are you crazed?"
"No, I was cautious, especially when she informed me that due to my vulnerable position, if I thought I was getting any more than kisses out of her, I'd be a soprano for the rest of my life. Kinda reined in my libido." He shook his head. "What a hellcat."
"And she's yours."
Mamoru grinned like a fool. "All mine. So keep your money Motoki, I won something worth more than money."
"You sound like a lovesick loon." Motoki groaned.
"I am." Mamoru shook his head.
"So will you two stop arguing?"
"Not in this lifetime." Mamoru paused. "Who won the rest of the money?"
Motoki blinked. "Oh um…Haruna-sensei…and Setsuna." He laughed quietly. "Haruna just screamed at the top of her lungs before shouting out 'Go Usagi go!' and a 'Don't do anything I wouldn't do!' and finally a 'You go girl!'" he laughed. "What a teacher! She then danced around screaming 'I won, I won, I won…I know my student… I won!' and then the other teachers she bet against demanded their money because they said she cheated having an inside source. She said she didn't and the last I saw of her was running out of the Mixer with a dozen teachers clamouring for her head. Makoto told Setsuna that she must have known, she cheated and to fork over the money, then tried to strangle her. Setsuna made that Orb of hers appear and cracked her in the head with it, saying she would never bet on her Princess in such a way." He lowered his voice. "And then she admitted to being the one who started the damn bet in the first place just for some laughs."
Mamoru laughed. "Haruna? Setsuna?"
"I'm assuming Setsuna had some inside information and decided to get some extra money, and Haruna just knows Usagi far too well." Motoki explained. "That's how they won, though Setsuna certainly has a temper on her."
"And about our OTHER side bet?" Mamoru arched an eyebrow.
"You won hands down, since you got Usagi, but I came a close second." Motoki grinned. "I got Minako."
"Deepest sympathy for you and the rest of us." Mamoru murmured. "Please, PLEASE do something about her meddling schemes!"
"I wouldn't have her any other way." Motoki shook his head.
"I'll remember you said that." Mamoru gestured behind him where Minako and her damned truth serum were creeping up on Ami's cup.
"OH NO!" Motoki's eyes widened as he ran towards Minako. "MINAKO! DON'T YOU DARE!"
"I AM THE GREATEST MATCHMAKER IN THE WORLD AND I'LL DO WHAT I NEED TO! I WILL GIVE ALL MY FRIENDS LOVE!" Minako shrieked. "I CANNOT BE STOPPED!"
"Goddess help us all." Mamoru rolled his eyes and turned back to his coffee, smiling to himself. Somehow he figured Motoki got more than he bargained for.
"What is going on over there?"
Mamoru turned to Usako. "Minako and her truth serum." He sighed. "You are so lucky you never took the stuff."
"I did Mamoru." Usagi confessed. "That day you were drugged? I had taken a drink of my milkshake." She shrugged. "But I didn't let it stop me."
"You little tease." He shook his head. "Someone should stop her rampage you know."
"Give the people some entertainment since we're no longer fighting." She smiled. "People get upset when their humour and sarcasm are taken away too soon." She paused. "Besides she's Motoki's problem now."
Mamoru laughed and pulled her to him just as Minako, clutching her serum to her chest came stampeding around the counter being chased by Motoki who was reaching for her. "MINAKO! GIVE THAT VIAL TO ME! MINAKO!"
And there you have it folks! The end of my "Try to resist" story. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it! I have a ton of other story ideas which I'll be writing probably on my 14 hour flight to Japan, and in two weeks when I get the internet hooked up, please look for a lot of work by me. In the meantime please email me, because they are what is going to keep me going. I'm very terrified here, having never been through customs before. Please read and review but be kind! I'm thinking of doing a Motoki and Minako story, but haven't decided yet. What do you think? Please keep looking for work by me! It's only two weeks people!
Ja ne! (just for now!)
