Hi, well howdy doody people! Okay in normal people
language, hello. I just wanted to thank everyone for
their support, love and comments toward my story.
Also I'm sorry to all the people I haven't written,
I don't check my mail too often! ^_^
R- You are warned.
I make no claims to owning Sailormoon.
WARNING:
This story is way into the alternate reality point.
Be prepared for something very different. It starts
out with Rei but Usagi and Mamoru are in this story.
This fic is completely different and some of the
things you may read are for more mature readers so
I am warning you to stop reading this story if you
are not the appropriate age or maturity for it. This
will contain some sexual content but it is NOT a lemon.
Ages may be different among other things.
Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.
It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf
of good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

"And that's it, I saw you and God Rei you were so much like
her", Mamoru said with tears in his eyes. "And I pushed you
away because I thought maybe like her you'd go away" Rei looked
at him from her spot on the bed, a blanket on her lap. Usagi held
her hand as she looked down crying.
"All this time I just thought you didn't love me", Rei said in a
strained voice. "When you first saw me I thought you were so
dissapointed but I wanted family so bad"
"Not love you Rei?", He said and going back to his room he came back
with his wallet. There he revealed the picture of Rei he had gotten
from Social Services and next to it a picture of them together on the
day of Rei's birth. Rei smiled at her brother and without a word
gathered him in a hug, he held her tighter.
"It's okay now, I'm not leaving", She said quietly. "Now that I found
you and you found me"
"If it only Mom was here", He said sadly. "She would've love seeing
us together"
"What are you talking about?", Rei said and smiled. "She's right here"
She put a hand to her heart. He nodded and smiled.
"You're right...sis"
***********************************************************************
That night Usagi found herself missing her mother more than ever and
she ached for the familiarity of lying on her chest. The scent of
vanilla, and burying herself in her mother's hair. How she missed
her so, tears filled her eyes. Mamoru who was lying on her chest
noticed the sad, blank look on her face.
"What's wrong?", He asked quietly and took her hand.
"I miss my mom", Usagi said and felt the hot sting in her eyes. "All
this talking about moms and I just want to talk to her" The tears fell.
"She wants nothing to do with me though"
"I think you should just try", Mamoru suggested and caressed a long
strand of hair that laid on her chest. "I thought I'd never have
anyone and now look at me, a sister, a little daughter and you.
I'm happy and I want you to be happy" She wiped her eyes.
"What happened to not getting too involved in each others lives?", She
asked quietly. He sat up looking down at her and was taken aback at the
tears that flowed at the side of her face. Also the chaste yet morose
look in her eyes.
"I think we passed that rule long ago", He told her and pushed her
hair away. "Talk to her again Usagi, I know you won't regret it"
Mamoru kissed her forehead as he leaned down. Looking in her eyes
he felt that same heat the first night he had been with her. "Can I
kiss you?" Nodding her head acceptingly and still looking in his eyes
she brought his head down so their lips could meet.
***********************************************************************
Rei looked up at the school building and she felt a churning in her
stomach like someone had thrown a match in her breakfast. Memo to
self never eat anymore of Usagi's food. Mamoru parked the car and
getting out opened the door for Rei along with Usagi and Tamlyn
who was strapped to Usagi.
"Ready?", He asked rubbing her shoulder. Looking at her brother
she nodded and Usagi put an arm around her.
"No worries okay?", Usagi said and adjusted Tamlyn in the pouch
she sat in connected to Usagi. The baby cooed at she laid on her
mother's chest. Usagi looked at the building again. "Actually
the better quote would be 'Let the games begin'"
"I remember my first day of high school, the ringing of the first
bell, the fresh smell of new books, the sound of a pencil sharpener..."
"...the feel of a wedgie", Usagi added. "You didn't date much, did you?"
"I didn't have time to date", Mamoru told her. "But a cheerleader
wouldn't know nothing about that would she?"
"Just shut up"
As they gathered into an office the secretary looked at them from
behind her glasses. Her pudgy body adjusting in her seat making
her chair creak.
"Can I help you?", She asked irratated at the sight of a petrified
girl, a man who was acting as if he was reliving his high school years
and a young girl who was cooing at a drooling baby.
"We...need to say the principal, my sister Rei Chiba needs to talk to
her about her enrollment procedures...and yeah...", Mamoru said
akwardly.
"And who are the rest of them?", She asked referring to Usagi and
Tamlyn.
"Well I'm the girl he knocked up and this is our lovechild", Usagi
said contemptiously and glared. "Are there anymore questions or do I
need to throw some food into the principal's office so you can get up
and FETCH her for us?" The lady scoffed and rushed into the
principal's room.
"Usa! How could you talk to her like that?", Mamoru lectured.
"When someone insults me and our kid don't ask me why I talk like
that", She said in an angry whisper. "Give me the keys I'll be in
the car" Taking them from Mamoru, Usagi quickly kissed Rei on the
cheek. "Take care of yourself and if anyone messes with you today
tell me and I'll kill them" Usagi winked and left hurriedly.
"That girl", Mamoru said but smiled. The secretary after checking for
Usagi told Rei to go in. He kissed the top of her head. "Go get em,
and if any boy comes on to you tell me and I'll KILL him" He left
and Rei turned to the secretary blushing.
"Ohmigod, I'm just gonna go in there...now" Rushing she walked
embarassed but at the same time laughing at the shocked look
of the lady.
***********************************************************************
Rei met Minako Aino in her reading class. The reason she had been taken
aback by her was that she bared a strong resemblance to Usagi except her
eyes were very cheerful as if she was laughing at everyone. The girl was
also not very shy, they had made friends when Mina had thrown a paper at
her head asking to have lunch with her so that they could make friends.
During lunch the two had connected and she felt for once that she
belonged and that day she had invited Minako over to the house for
lunch.
"So who do you live with?", Minako asked as Rei let them in.
"My brother and Usagi...and Tamlyn", Rei said not sure how to explain
the situation. Walking up the stairs she heard the sound of a dancing
tune on the radio. Mamoru came out of the room and Minako's eyes went
wide at Rei's handsome, tall and not to mention SHIRTLESS brother.
"Wow", Minako breathed but exhaled as Usagi rushed out of the room
wearing a short khaki skirt and tight white tanktop as she lectured
Mamoru on why he shouldn't have put a black shirt in the whites during
laundry day. "So that's his girlfriend?"
"No, I'm not his girlfriend", Usagi said and shook her hand. "I'm
Usagi"
"Minako Aino"
A yelped came from the bedroom and Usagi rushed away. Mamoru after
giving Minako a quick smile followed. Rei couldn't explain that this
was the afternoon rush, the daily routine of her brother getting ready
for work, laundry day and Tamlyn waking up from her nap.
"Well at least that's not his girlfriend", Minako said. "She's
gorgeous, the legs, the face, the hair. I couldn't compete" Usagi,
Mamoru and Tamlyn all came out of the room.
"She's not his girlfriend but that is their baby", Rei said weakly.
Tamlyn gurgled in Mamoru's arms. "Meet Tamlyn Tsukino Chiba"
"But I thought he wasn't her boyfriend?"
"Oh but he isn't", Usagi said.
"But he is this baby's father?"
"Yup", Mamoru said proudly.
"You guys aren't married?"
"No they aren't", Rei told her.
"So he's not your fiancee or anything?", Minako asked and the three
looked amused at her face.
"No", Mamoru assured her.
"Then what are you?"
"Sperm donor", Usagi said and kissed Mamoru's cheek. "Have a good day
at work, I'll make you two lunch" She went into the kitchen with
Tamlyn and Mamoru kissed his sister goodbye then left.
"I think I'm confused", Minako said after a moment of silence.
"Don't worry I'm still getting the story down"
************************************************************************
Usagi stood as she listened for someone to pick the phone. The audible
click came on and she squeezed her fist.
"Hello", The tiny voice sounded.
"Hatsue?", Usagi whispered and smiled through her tears. "Don't say my
name outloud"
"Usa", The girl whispered. "Where are you?"
"In a nice house near you", She replied. "How are you my darling?"
"I'm okay, I'm getting good grades in school...Yuuichirou said you
had a baby girl", Hatsue said. "Is she pretty?"
"Beautiful, just like you", Usagi told the young girl. "She isn't a
blond like us but just as pretty, is Kabuo there?"
"No", Hatsue said. "But momma is"
"Can I talk to her?", Usagi asked. "...And Hatsue? I love you"
"I love you Usa", Hatsue said and then gave the phone to her mother.
"Hello?", Ikuko greeted.
"Mom?"
"Usagi?"
"I know you don't wanna talk to me but please just give a moment",
She begged. "If you could just listen to me, if we could meet and
I'll tell you the whole story"
"Usagi, I don't know if I have time", She said in a fearful voice.
Usagi could almost see her mother looking behind her shoulder.
"Please mom", She said and a sob rose from her throat. "Please just
listen to me"
"Okay, just give me your phone number and I'll call when I can talk",
Ikuko quivered and sniffled. A door slammed. "I've got to go"
"Mom-"
Click.
The phone went dead and she hung up.
************************************************************************
Rei met her second friend, Ami Mizuno by Minako. And once again Rei
invited her over against her will. Minako insisted since seeing Rei's
very cute brother, Usagi had also made friends with the girl. Ami,
who was a petite girl with light blue hair and matching eyes to boot
was timid as she walked into the house. Minako however kicked off her
shoes and called out a barbarious greeting.
"Man I'm starving, do you think Usagi would let me have some baby
food", Minako asked. "Since she was feeding Tamlyn peaches I've had a
craving for it" Usagi walked in and in tow was Tamlyn wearing a bonnet
with two bunny ears sticking out. A shirt with a bunny and a diaper
completed the fit.
"No you cannot have any of the baby food, don't we feed you enough?",
She asked with a smile and greeted Ami. "Usagi Tsukino and Tamlyn Chiba"
Handing the baby to Ami she stretched her arms. "Come along, I have a
job for all of you"
"I've never held a baby before", Ami remarked but grin softly as she
looked at a happy Tamlyn who was putting her fist in her mouth. "I
could get use to this"
"How come you never let me hold Tami?", Minako whined. "Don't you
trust me?"
"I trust you as far as I can throw you", Usagi responded and let them
to the kitchen.
"What is all this? Glitter pens, baby shirts...", Rei said and sat
down to the array of little art supplies.
"Well as you know we are living on a budget and we can't afford
expensive baby clothes, so I bought a bunch of these affordable
shirts and decided that we were going to decorate them" Usagi
smiled and help Ami strap the baby into it's high chair.
"Understandable", Minako remarked. "But tie dye?"
"Work with it", Usagi said sternly and they nodded. No messing with
her.
"Rei, are you going to the dance?", Minako inquired as she concetrated
on making a chain of hearts across the baby shirt.
"A dance?", Usagi said excitedly. "Rei, why didn't you tell me?"
"One, I'm not going to the dance and two, it's no big deal", Rei
answered as she made a teddy bear on her shirt.
"Why aren't you going?", Ami asked gently. "You shouldn't worry about
getting a date, you're so pretty"
"I'm just NOT going", Rei stated and rubbed her temples.
"Are you okay?", Usagi said and took Rei's wrist. Quickly Rei whipped
it away frightening Usagi, she had never done that to her.
"I'm not feeling well", Rei said in a monotone voice and got up to go
to her room. Ami and Minako stood up sensing that it was time to go.
"We'll check on her tommorrow", Minako said quietly and the two walked
out. Usagi taking Tamlyn in her arms walked into the hallway and to
Rei's door, knocking she was disappointed that Rei didn't want to
answer. She put her hand to the knob and turned.
Usagi frowned. It was locked.
She had never done that. Dejectedly Usagi went to the kitchen to
finish her work.
***********************************************************************
All day at school the word buzzed on the upcoming dance. Rei felt a
headache coming on and she sat in class listening to who was going
with who and would be the new king and queen. Minako was a prime
nominee and though she was happy for her friend her head began to
ache even worse. As soon as she got home Rei retreated to her bed
where Usagi and Mamoru nursed her.
"What would you like to eat?", Usagi asked softly with a calm smile
on her face.
"Some soup would be okay", Rei said and Usagi nodded. "Oh Usa, I'm so
sorry for the way I acted yesterday" The girl hugged her.
"We're all entitled to bad days", Usagi answered back. "I'll go get
the soup" She left the two siblings alone and Mamoru protectively
tucked his sister in her bed.
"Do you need asprin? I can get you some", Mamoru said and she put a
hand on his arm.
"No, no", She said with a soft smile. "I'm fine"
"What's wrong?", Mamoru asked after a moment. Rei looked at him with
scared eyes.
"Not yet", She said. "Don't ask me yet"
************************************************************************
The weekend before the dance Yuuichirou visited Rei. Looking through
a magazine she looked up to see him standing there shyly with a bouquet.
Her face brightened into a smile.
"Come in and sit", She said. "What are you doing here?"
"Bringing you flowers", He answered and took her hand. Kissing her he
saw how pale she was. "What happened? You just got sick so suddenly"
"Nothing really", Rei answered and shrugged.
"I talked to your friend Minako, she told me about the dance",
Yuuichirou informed her. "Is that it? Do you wanna go? I'd be honor
to take you"
"No, I don't wanna go", She said bluntly.
"Come on, it'll be fun-"
"I said no", Rei told him.
"Why not?", Yuuichirou asked.
"I SAID NO!!!", She yelled surprising herself and Yuuichirou. "Get
out"
"I know you want to go but something is stopping you-"
"Honestly you don't know shit about me", Rei told him angrily.
"Please get the hell out" Yuuichirou looked into her eyes for a
moment and then walked out. Her own eyes filled with tears.
"Rei, what's wrong?", Mamoru asked as he walked into the room. "What
happened?"
"I was an idiot", Rei sobbed. "He was just asking me to go to the
dance and I started yelling and cursing..." The tears fell as her
whole body convulsed into her brother's. Usagi walked in with the
tray and put it aside when she saw the girl's distress.
"The dance, tell me why do you hate dances so much?"
"Because I was raped at one"
