Okay dealing with stress, I've decided to change my major to sociology…what am I thinking…
Themes that are not consistent with the anime are taken from the live action series

Usagi blinked as Motoki opened the door a smile blossoming on her face when she saw the bouquet of daisies in the blonds grip. The smile quickly dropped when she saw who was accompanying him, "Hello, Motoki-onii-kun, Mamoru-baka."
Mamoru just bowed gracefully to the name, "I plan on putting a hold to our feud because after all we are in a hospital and I wouldn't care to disturb your neighbors."
Usagi felt her face flame up, "Are you suggesting that I cannot act mature enough to take our location into consideration."
The girls communicators all started to beep and Usagi received sympathetic looks as the girls all filed out and went to answer Luna's summon, leaving her alone with the baka and Motoki. She thanked the blond for the arrangement and set it on the small table beside the bed. Chiba pulled a red rose from behind his back and stuck it in Motoki's arrangement. "There. Well, Odango, you mind telling us what happened?"
Her cheeks puffed out in exasperation at that nickname. Motoki sensing a fight about to break out quickly forestalled it by turning on the television which was covering the news of the youma attack. The news anchor watched the destruction before asking in a general plea where were the sailor senshi. Usagi bit her lip nervously wondering where the girls were when the camera panned skyward and she could see the silhouettes of the four Scouts bounding towards the scene.
"There they are! But their leader, the Sailor Moon appears to not be with them. Tamaki-kun, zoom up so we can get a clearer shot of their fighting ability."
--
Usagi bit her lip as she watched the fight. She knew the girls would need Sailor Moon because of the fact that when the camera panned on the girls fighting she caught sight of Zoisite's form watching the Scouts try to subdue the youma. Mamoru had left them shortly after the news segment started citing that he had a test to review for and he wished for the bed-bound school girl to feel better. Motoki stayed telling the girl some silly stories about his day at school. Usagi made small noises but her eyes were riveted to the television while her mind whirled on how to get away from the hospital.

Rei grunted as the youma's whip-like arm caught her square in the chest forcing the wind to rush from her body. Minako used her whip to distract it from the downed girl, "Mercury, can you scan the thing faster?"
Ami looked up from her tapping, "I'm trying, it's just moving around too much for me to get a clear read on it."
Minako was getting her chain ready to encircle the youma when roses pierced the ground causing the youma to pause momentarily. Ami, taking advantage of the pause in movement, rapidly began scanning it but before she could get any conclusive results, the youma jumped towards the masked caped wonder. Mamoru grunted and whipped out his cane striking the youma squarely across its chest.
The youma fell back and crashed into the cameraman causing him to drop the video camera.

Usagi shouted as the screen became static. Motoki frowned thoughtfully, "Well that seems rather odd; wouldn't you say, Usagi? I wonder what did happen to Sailor Moon and if the others will be alright without her? But I'm sure it will all work out at the end."
Usagi nodded distractedly as she frantically tried to come up with a way to get Motoki to leave with offending him or making him suspicious, when salvation came in the form of one doctor Anderson who told Motoki that visiting hours were over and Usagi needed her rest. The Crown Arcade worker nodded and stood up after rubbing the senshi of the moon's head affectionately. "Get better, Usagi-chan, I don't know what the arcade will do without its best customer so get well soon, there's a chocolate milkshake with your name on it waiting for you."
Usagi thanked the blond gratefully and watched the blue haired doctor close the door behind the two of them and dim the lights. Once she counted to fifty in her head she gazed around the room to search for any evidence of a security system. Finding none, she gingerly stood while removing the wires and IV attached to her body, and went to the dresser where beside the daisies Motoki brought her, was her broach. She grabbed it and whispered the words for her transformation allowing for the ribbons of warm light caress her still sore body.
When the lights dimmed the champion of love and justice stood where a injured middle schooler stood just moments before. Usagi let out a squeek when the door opened and Motoki came in looking stunned, "Usagi-chan? You're Sailor Moon?"
Usagi schooled her features, "You saw? Motoki-nii-kun, you can't tell anyone, not even my friends and especially not my family."
Motoki nodded, and went over to the chair he was sitting in, "I just forgot my phone, but tomorrow we are going to have a chat over some burgers from the arcade. I can get my sister to cover my shift."
Usagi nodded she knew that eventually she would have had to tell someone other then the girls. Then with one last look at the friendly blond, she climbed to the edge of the window and leapt out in the darkness. Her steps a little slower then normal as she bounded off towards the youma fight.

Motoki watched the fluttering curtains as he subconsciously stuck the forgotten cellphone in his pocket before he walked away part of his mind wondering why the alarms for the now flat-lining heart monitor weren't going off. But shaking his head and continuing down the path he just attributed it to part of the magic that was Sailor Moon.
--
Dr. Anderson looked out the window of her office to see Sailor Moon hopping away into the distance. She massaged the bridge of her nose hoping that she did the right thing in disabling the machines alarms when she hooked Usagi up.

Sailor Moon sent a silent thanks to Ami's mother, previously the only living person outside of the scouts who knew their true identities. Ms. Anderson was chosen out of all the family members to know the truth because of her medical knowledge and her more rational demeanor made her the perfect person to provide a convincing cover story if the girls needed one. Usagi knew her family would have flipped and tried to prevent her from doing her duty. Mokoto had no living family members. Minako's family was still in England and had no desire in living in Japan. Rei's grandfather was a little zany and would have accidently let the truth slip to Rei's calculating father. He would have exploited the scouts according to a very adamant Rei. So Ami's mother was the logical choice in this.
Usagi continued her run towards the fight, ignoring the searing pain across her chest. The girls needed her, they needed Sailor Moon.

"I can't get a clear reading with Tuxedo Kamen fighting the youma."A glowing tiara flew into view and stopped above of the two fighters. A golden shower of sparkles fell over the two, freezing them in place.
"Mercury, quick. Analyze the youma."
The blue-haired senshi gaped at the blonde who was supposed to have been resting at the hospital before what the moon senshi said sunk in. Ami quickly returned her typing and scanned it before shouting out to the other girls, "Its weakness is its left ankle."
Usagi recalled her tiara and turned her attention to where the camera had noticed Zoicite. She spotted the feminine looking general and jumped after him, leaving the other senshi to handle the youma.
Tuxedo Kamen jumped back from the youma and started after Zoicite as well.
Looking back, Sailor Moon was slightly surprised to see Tuxedo Kamen bounding after them. She sped up then she grabbed her tiara calling forth her attack.
"MOON TIARA MAGIC!"
Zoicite cried out as the tiara sliced his cheek, "My face! You moon bitch, I'll kill you for scratching my face!"
He brought forth his fire and shot it towards the blond, furious that the wench had managed to hurt him. Tuxedo Kamen quickly jumped in front of Sailor Moon and whirled his cane providing a barrier and protecting her. "Sailor Moon, are you okay?"
She nodded and caught her tiara. "Thank you, but I could have dodged that, you know."
Tuxedo Kamen grinned his crooked smile, "Yes, but I felt the need to make up for not being here these past few days."
