Being Overtired Can Do Odd Things

	BEEP!BEEP!BEEP! Usagi's communicator went off in the middle of thenight, 
shaking her out of REM sleep.
	"Huh? Whaz goin on?" she muttered, fumbling for her communicator.
	"Meatball Brains! Get your butt out of bed! A youma is attacking bumsin 
the park!" Rei snapped as Usagi yawned and muttered "coming."
	Running on auto pilot she rolled out of bed and transformed and wentout 
the window, heading for the park. Arriving at the same time as Jupiter,she 
waited for the taller senshi to throw her lightening before headinginto the 
thick of things, still asleep. She tripped over the drained body of abum 
and was immediately targeted for the youma to spit acid at. A streamcame 
flying through the air towards her face when a flying rose stopped itand 
the man in the cape swooped down to rescue the fallen warrior and sether on 
her feet again. With a smile towards him she was back in the thick of 
things, trying to get a clear shot with her tiara. She spared a luckyglance 
around to see how her friends were faring. Ami was scanning the thingwith 
her computer, Makoto was calling on her thunder, Minako winding downfrom 
sending off a crescent beam, but Rei was chanting her mantra, unawareof the 
acid flying towards her. Usagi yelled and threw herself at Rei,knocking the 
priestess over and getting hit by the acid herself on her thigh. She 
screamed in pain, wailing at the top of her lungs, distracting theyouma so 
that Jupiter got in a clear shot.
	"Hurry Sailor Moon!" she called. "You have a clear shot!" Grimacing inpain 
as she stood on her wounded leg, she threw her tiara at the youma, 
destroying it. Tuxedo Kamen jumped up into a nearby tree, not wantingto 
leave until he saw that Sailor Moon would be all right. She was beinghelped 
up by Jupiter and scanned by Mercury, when she waved them off, with ayawn 
and walked with a slight limp towards his tree to prove she would befine.
	"See minna-chan? I'm perfectly fine. I didn't take all of the acid; itjust 
burned on contact. It's fine now, already healing," she yawned and 
detransformed.
	"Usagi!" 4 scandalized voices shouted and Tuxedo Kamen fell out of thetree 
from the sight of the Champion of Love and Justice, and his very own 
Meatball head, in her *eh-hem* choice of sleepwear. She was wearing anavy 
negligee that cascaded down to her feet, but slit up to a shockingdegree on 
her thigh. Tiny spaghetti straps turned to a plunging V neckline and onthe 
other side turned to a low backline, nearly at her tailbone.
	He landed on his hands and knees beside her and found his eyes fixedupon 
the slit and the creamy leg showing. He turned bright red and tore hisgaze 
away from the sight. The said girl at this point was extremely red and 
trying to figure out where her savoir had come from. Her friendssurrounded 
her and plucked at the satiny material, shaking their heads as theystared 
at their best friend.
	"Well it sure does look great on you," Minako said at last.
	"Yes, you look quite elegant," Ami added but was cut off by Makoto.
	"And sexy! Damn you look totally sexy! And guys couldn't help but fallfor 
you in that getup,"
	"Odango Atama?!!?" a masculine voice belonging to a certain forgotten 
superhero choked behind them. All 5 girls whirled to face a stunned,hatless 
Tuxedo Kamen staring unabashedly at the petite leader in the lingerie.She 
went utterly pale, a huge contrast from the red she had been before asher 
eyes widened.
	"Mamoru-san?!" she whispered, afraid. He stood towering over the girlsand 
brushed the mask from his eyes. The reality of the situation suddenlystruck 
her as she yelped "Mamoru-san!" and crossed her arms over her chest.
	"Little Usagi is Sailor Moon?" he whispered, stunned. "Little Usakowho I 
could crush with my bare hands is the champion of Love and Justice?"
	"USAKO?!?!?!?!?" repeated the 4 senshi as Usagi whispered "Usako?" to 
herself. Mamoru realized his mistake and colored. Minako smiled as shegot 
one of her Venus intuitions.
	"Well I think we'd better leave Usagi-chan and Mamoru-san alone towork out 
their differences," she hinted, then sighed and dragged them away whenthey 
just kept staring at the unfolding scene in front of them.
	'Oh Shit!!! What did I do that for? Why did I call her Usako? Ohcrap!' 
Mamoru thought.
	'Oh my, what did he call me? I heard Usako and the girls heard Usakowhy 
Usako my little rabbit what the heck? Oh my,' Usagi thought.
	"U...Usako?" she asked.
	"Umm...well...you see...I...umm..." Mamoru stuttered. They slowlystarted 
walking to the bench overlooking the lake and sat down.
	"Since when have I been Usako?" she asked quietly.
	"Since umm...well the first week we met..." he trailed off, lookingdown. 
She went pale.
	"The first week?" she whispered, then stood up quickly. "I need to get
home." And she walked very quickly away, her thoughts in a jumble.Mamoru 
sat on the bench a few minutes longer before heading home himself.
		 ******************************
	"No please minna-chan! I really don't feel good; I need to go home. Ijust 
can't come into the arcade with you, so quit dragging me," Usagi whinedas 
her friends steered her towards the doors of the Crown Arcade.
	"Nope Usagi, we all know you're not sick and we want to know whathappened 
with Mamoru last night," Minako argued.
	"Yup, we want all the details and an explanation for that totallyromantic 
name!" Makoto added. Usagi sighed, poking her head into the arcade,scanning 
it for a certain black-haired life form.
	"He's not here so can we go already?" Usagi asked and was pushedinside for 
her response.	"Nope we'll wait till he shows," Rei said. Meanwhile the man in
question was indeed in the arcade, but in the staff lounge with Motoki,
discussing the events of the previous night with his best friend and confidante.
	"And just as the senshi and I we about to leave, Usagi shows up, Ican't 
say how, but she shows up in this piece of lingerie a long, navy, lowcut 
negligee with a huge slit and spaghetti straps. Usagi, my Odango Atama 
looking so elegant and well, sexy. I was so shocked I fell out of thetree I 
was in..." He was interrupted by Motoki's laughter. He glared at hisfriend 
and continued. "And I opened my big mouth and said Odango Atama and she
figured me out..."	"Wait, the senshi?" Motoki asked.
	"Well umm...they sorta figured out too when she said Mamoru-san..."
	"But there are lots of Mamoru's so why should it give your identity away..."
	"Usagi is Sailor Moon, Ok?" Mamoru snapped. Motoki's eyes widened.
	"Little Usagi is Sailor Moon?" he asked incredulously. Mamoru nodded. 
Motoki stood and ran out to the main room and spotting Usagi walkedover to 
her, then around her, staring at her from all angles. (AN: for those ofyou 
who've seen the Super S movie, it's like what Chibi-Usa did to Peruruwhen 
she first saw him.) Usagi started to blush and look at him strangely.
	"Are you Ok Motoki? Do you need anything?" she asked.
	"Yeah are you feeling Ok Motoki?" Makoto asked. His head shot up andhe 
stared at Makoto and his eyes widened. He whirled and stared at Ami,his 
eyes widening even more, then stared at Rei, eyes still widening then 
finally staring at Minako his eyes as big as saucers.
	"Kami-sama," he muttered then turned to go back to the back room.
	"What was that all about?" Usagi asked. Rei narrowed her eyes.
	"I think Mamoru spilled your secret." Usagi gasped and ran afterMotoki. 
She entered the room to hear Motoki say, "Once I knew that Usagi wasSailor 
Moon, I just had to look at the others and I could see the unmistakable
resemblance that I couldn't see before."
	"That's because of the glamour," Usagi drawled from the doorway. "Andmay I 
ask how you found out?"
	"Well Mamoru let it slip out when he was telling me about last ni..."He 
shut up when Mamoru elbowed him.
	"Motoki knows all about me, and I discuss my mission with him," Mamoru
said, looking down. The girls were at the door now and they grabbedMotoki.
	"Come with us, Usagi and Mamoru have things to discuss." Then theypulled 
him out with them and closed the door. Mamoru sighed and decided tocome clean.
	"Usagi, the reason I called you Usako last night is well...you'realways 
Usako to me. It's the way I call you in my thoughts and how I want tocall 
you..." he trailed off.
'Oh no you don't,' Usagi thought. 'You've screwed me up as much as you 
possibly can, then you'll tease me when I take it wrong. I'm notfalling for 
it Mamo-chan.'
	"Thanks Mamoru, I love having the fact that I'm short rubbed in myface..." 
he interrupted her by grabbing her shoulders a bit roughly.
	"Don't you get it Usagi?" he yelled, shaking her a bit. "I love youand 
I've loved you since the moment we met!" He then pulled away and lookeddown 
towards the ground.
	"Do you really mean it Mamoru?" she whispered. At the sound of hertiny 
whisper, he decided to prove it once and for all. He whirled aroundpulled 
her into his arms and kissed her with all the love and passion he hadbeen 
holding back all those months. She melted into the kiss any morethoughts of 
rejection completely lost as she responded with as much love andpassion as 
he was pouring into the kiss. When they finally broke apart fordesperate 
need of breath, Usagi laid her head on his chest and whispered thewords he 
most wanted to hear.	"I love you too, Mamo-chan." He chuckled.
	"And to think it was a gorgeous negligee that brought us together," hesaid 
capturing her lips again.
	From outside the door five pairs of eyes peeked through the crack ofthe 
door, sighing at the sight of the couple so totally into each otherthey 
didn't even notice the audience.
The End.

the Victoria Secret scene from Lilac Summer's "First Truths." And froma 
certain shopping trip to West Edmonton Mall with my Best friend and her
boyfriend where I saw the most perfect negligee. Actually at the startof 
the fic the negligee was in the store, but as I write this now, I amwearing 
the negligee I put Usagi in (although the backline isn't that low.)Comments
