REDONE AS REQUESTED….I KNOW YOU GUYS LOVE ME!

A/N: Okay this plotline is similar to another story on ff, but I couldn't find it and that made me incredibly sad since I've been searching for it for the past two days. If you know of it let me know so I can credit pinches of the story line here and so I can read it again! BTW: I have all the scouts here and I know they come in at different parts of season 1 but I just like everyone being together so yeah deal ;) And I have Usagi a little older…she starts off as 17 here…with Mamoru being 21. Just a little closing of the gap and making Usagi a bit more mature.

ALSO don't hate me for starting another story and continuing to neglect the others I am just soooo stumped on them right now. If you really want me to update them go and review with suggestions!

ONE LAST THING: I know the POV in here is a bit weird and jumbled either bear with me or if it really bothers you let me know and I'll revamp the story a bit.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Usagi sighed and put a cd into her player and laid upon her bed thinking of the latest dream to awake her. She saw a blurry vision of her princess and her lover, for the first time it was not of their deaths, but of them simply dancing on the balcony. The entire dream radiated with their love and even now when she was awake she still felt the love

"This time I will not fail you princess, this time you will be with your love." Usagi vowed. Usagi rose from the bed and began practicing battle moves.

Luna watched from the edge of the bed as Usagi rose early once again to train. 'Ever since these dreams began Usagi has been more focused on being a good scout, she's so determined'

For two hours Usagi practiced, then at 7:00 she hurriedly took a shower and raced to get ready for school. She always treated the race to get ready and the race to school as one final part of her work-out. She easily dodged the people on the sidewalks, she had been practicing avoiding moving targets and this morning not even Mamoru got in her way.

"Yes!" She shouted aloud as she reached school, for once not even Mamoru had been able to get the better of her dodging skills, she truly was becoming better. Usagi went to class and focused on her studies knowing she would need all of her cunning to save and protect the princess. The more Usagi dreamed of her, the greater her need to protect her, to reunite her with her love. For a brief moment Usagi wished for her own love, but was quickly reminded of Tuxedo Kamen, perhaps one day something would become of the emotions she felt towards him.

After school Usagi raced to the Crown to meet the girls and then head to their Senshi meeting. Once again she raced through the crowds missing everyone, including a baffled Mamoru as he walked through the doors of the Crown.

"Is it just me or is the Odango actually getting more coordinated?" Mamoru asked as he walked to meet his friend Motoki at the counter.

"I don't know what's gotten into Usagi lately, she seems completely focused and nothing like her usual airhead self. Look, even the girls know it, see how they listen to her and how she leads the conversations now? Rei doesn't even insult her anymore…Usagi is changing…and I think in many ways I miss her." Motoki said as he watched the young blonde talk with her friends. Sure they laughed and made jokes, but Usagi's eyes never lost the look of seriousness or determination. Motoki shook his head and waited one of them to come up and give him their order.

He didn't have to wait long for soon Usagi came bounding up to meet him. "Hey Motoki-oniisan! Five Milkshakes, Five Burgers and Five orders of Fries. Two Chocolate, Two Strawberry and One Vanilla." Usagi rattled off quickly.

"And what will the rest of the girls have Odango?" Mamoru taunted turning to her hoping to start their usual fighting.

"That is the order for all of us Mamoru, we're friends we share everything…though seeing as there is never anyone to share your bitter coffee with I can see how you wouldn't understand." The arcade grew quiet as they listened to Usagi's bitter retort. It was good, for once Usagi seemed to have completely gained the upper hand. Mamoru though, refused to notice and tried a different route.

"Just Mamoru? Aren't you forgetting something?" Mamoru smiled waiting for her to give him the proper respect.

"Oh forgive me, Mamoru-chan I don't know what I was thinking." Mamoru's face deadpanned as she turned away from him confidently and returned to her friends who congratulated her.

"Since when does Usagi not lose her cool?" Mamoru asked as Motoki walked by with their orders on a tray. Motoki just shrugged and continued over to the girls.

Mamoru watched the small group intently as they began to dig into their food. His obsession with Usagi was getting worse with her sudden change. She was still the bubbly blonde but now she seemed focused and strong, though it also seemed as if some of her innocence was lost with her new transformation. As he watched he saw the girls each pull something from their purse, drop their money and then run out of the arcade.

Mamoru wondered what could make them run off leaving half eaten burgers, but he didn't have time to ponder it as he felt Sailor Moon transform. He gave a sigh of relief he needed a battle and he needed to see her. She would get his mind off Usagi…she always did.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When he arrived at the battle he saw the senshi effectively fighting the monster, with Sailor Moon shouting orders and trying to egg the youma into giving information. This was new and strange since when did they try to get information from the youma before dusting it? And since when did the senshi respect Sailor Moon?

Tuxedo Kamen pushed away his thoughts and forced himself to focus on the battle. As he watched he saw Sailor Moon direct two of the scouts to the front and two to the back hoping that one group or the other would catch it off guard. She didn't seem to notice the youma aiming it's next attack at her. Tuxedo Kamen flew from his hiding spot and ran to whisk her away from the blast, but before he could reach her she dodged the blast.

She caught his eye but said nothing as her eyes dashed to check on her scouts. She noticed the youma directing it's attention at Jupiter and Mars who were watching her to make sure she was okay, and more than likely getting over the shock that she had so easily dodged the blast.

She saw the attacks aimed and she saw Mars and Jupiter still watching her. "Mars!" Was all Sailor Moon said as she looked towards him. He nodded and quickly ran to get Mars from harms way as Sailor Moon did the same for Jupiter. They had just moved the two from the attack when a call came.

"Sailor Moon now!" Mercury called from the battle below. Sailor Moon nodded to him, a silent signal to watch over them.

"Moon Tiara Magic!" Sailor Moon called pushing all her strength into the tiara and knowing it would not miss. It sliced through the youma and dusted it easily.

"Everyone alright?" Sailor Moon asked the moment the youma was proven to be nothing more than a pile of dust. She was happy to receive nods from all five. Seeing they were okay she turned and jumped to the nearest rooftop and bounded away from them.

"Sailor Moon wait!" Tuxedo Kamen called and with a quick glance at the other senshi he bounded after her.

The four remaining senshi shared strange looks. "Is it just me or is Sailor Moon really changing?" Mars asked as they detransformed and headed back to the arcade.

"Luna said it has something to do with the dreams she's been having. All about the princess and her lost love, it's really giving Usagi something to fight for." Ami said softly wondering just what was in those dreams and why only Usagi had them.

"Yeah they must be some crazy dreams to change Usa so much" Makoto said as they returned to their booth in the arcade. They changed the topic as Motoki came to greet them and they chatted while they awaited Usagi's return.

………………………………………………………………………

Tuxedo Kamen chased after Sailor Moon but he soon lost sight of her as she dropped down off the rooftops and out of his view. He went to where she was but instead found only Usagi, detransforming he decided to see what Usagi was doing in this part of town.

To his surprise she entered a tough looking gym and he certainly did not like the looks of the men inside. It certainly wasn't anything like the gym he went to that was all lawyers and businessmen. He watched from the window as Usagi put on some gloves and stepped into the ring awaiting a challenger. Mamoru wanted to run in and drag her away, she didn't stand a chance against any of these men!

He went in the building and reached out to grab her hand, when another man pulled him back. "Hold on buddy, I've got a score to settle with this broad you can try next." Mamoru looked at the man in shock and stood aside while he got in the ring. The man looked about three hundred pounds and there was no way Usagi's small arms could do anything to his solid muscle. But what had he meant when he said he had a score to settle?

He sat back to watch the fight and intervene if the man even tried to hit Usagi, but to his surprise the man didn't even get a single punch in. Usagi was light on her feet and dodged his every attempt and after every dodge she answered with a punch. Her arms moved so fast that Mamoru only knew she got a punch in when the man recoiled and groaned in pain.

It was mere minutes before the man was down and Usagi was waiting for whoever was next. Mamoru shook his head in shock and looked around the gym at all the men who had been watching the fight. He turned to the man next to him.

"Does she come here often?" He asked and the man gave him a look that obviously said 'a lot more than you'.

"A few times a week at least, when she first came she got pretty beat up but after a month no one could get anything past her. I've never seen anything like her, sheer determination in that girl." He watched as Usagi looked around and seemed to be disappointed when no one else stepped up to challenge her. Mamoru thought that with his Tuxedo Kamen reflexes he might have a chance at beating her…but then he couldn't imagine striking her even with boxing gloves. So he simply watched as she beat the life out of a punching bag and then he left.

There was a lot about Usagi he didn't know but apparently she was nowhere near the weak, clumsy girl he often accused her of being.

…………………………………………………………..

Usagi left the gym to find Luna waiting for her out side. Usagi gave a sigh she knew very well why her guardian had come to find her. "Did I worry the girls again?" Usagi asked fully knowing the answer.

"Usagi you need to talk to them, you're so different and when you run off after battles and don't talk to them except at senshi meetings they're bound to be worried. What have I told you about running off without telling them?"

Usagi sighed once again. "I know but I needed to blow off some steam after that battle and it was so quick that I got all hyped up and nothing to fight." Luna looked curiously at the girl.

"If the fight was quick what happened that you needed to blow off steam?" Luna asked.

"Tuxedo Kamen. I can't stop thinking about him, if he'll show up at the battle if he'll need to save me again, if I'm weak, if I get to stare into those deep blue eyes, he's so familiar to me, and it's that familiarity that makes me need to be with him. He's a distraction and I needed to get him out of my head." Usagi rambled trying to explain her emotions concerning her masked savior.

"He seems familiar? Maybe you know his civilian form? If you can figure it out it would give us a huge advantage in figuring out what side he's on." Luna ignored Usagi's sigh as she led her into the arcade and in to face four angry senshi.
