Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon.

Author's Note: This is my first attempt at Drabbles. This is for the UsakoMamoru Anniversary challenge. I'd like to try for all thirty-five themes but I do not think I will. A few are connected so I am going to make them as one "Chapter" italics are thoughts.

1a: CAKE

Word count: 107

Mamoru Chiba walked into the Crown Arcade where he heard the shrill voice of his Odango Atama--- his Odango? Requesting a slice of chocolate cake cut into three pieces. Mamoru waved to Motoki and walked to his favorite booth. He sat down just as he heard Ami whispering to Rei, "let's invite him." Usagi sat down and just missed the last word. Luckily she was too caught up with the first bite of the soon to be gone sweet treat to notice the guilty expressions that ran across each of their faces before they could cover it up. Mamoru, however, noticed and wondered what is going on?

1c: Invitations

Word count: 147

Mamoru walked into his apartment holding the stack of mail in his left hand and the grocery bag in his right. He set the mail on the counter and put away the groceries- a box of cereal, a can of coffee, a half gallon of milk, carton of eggs, a loaf of bread and a bag of cookies. Just a few necessities. Then he sorted the mail. Junk, bill, bill, junk, catalog, and a card shaped envelope. It's not my birthday. He opened the envelope and slid out the card. The outside said… "You're invited to a…" He opened it and a jumpy musical tune sang out PARTY! Inside the details were listed:

When: June 30th

Where; Crown Arcade

Why: It's a surprise for Usagi's birthday.

Please RSVP to Rei at Cherry Hill Shrine.

So, Mamoru thought, Usagi's birthday is almost here. I'll have to go shopping.

1d: Gift Wrap

Word count: 230

Ami walked around the large department store looking the for the boutique Naru had mentioned to her when they were talking about they wanted to get Usagi for her birthday, She walked in the boutique and spotted the hair ribbons right away. They were navy blue with white butterflies attached. She thought those would be perfect for Usagi. Walking toward them and saw Mamoru at the counter with a large shoebox sized item in front of him. He was talking the clerk and pointing to the gold and sapphire blue striped wrapping paper. Is he shopping for Usagi's birthday? I wonder what he got her. At that minute, Rei walked in and walked up to Ami. Ami pointed out Mamoru to Rei and motioned for her to keep quiet. Rei nodded and walked to the hair ribbons and picked up the ribbons was going to buy…. Ami frowned, but then she saw another cute pair- red with crescent moons printed on them. She and Rei made their way to the counter and paid for their purchases. They watched Mamoru walk by and then walked to the gift wrap counter. Ami had her purchase boxed and wrapped in silver with pink bunnies and Rei asked for black wrap and had the clerk place a red bow on it. Each wondered what Mamoru had gotten Usagi and if Usagi would like it.

1b: Surprise Party!

Word Count: 145

Rei and Ami walked to Usagi's house and had to practically drag her away from her homework. Ironically, she had decided that this weekend would be the best time to work on her homework for the past week. They convinced her to come with them to the Arcade to see Motoki.

At the Arcade, Motoki finished hanging the last balloon and he carried the cake to the center table, placing the candles carefully in circle on the cake. Naru and Umino finished stacking the presents near the cake and Mamoru walked in and handed Naru the gold and blue wrapped gift.

Someone whispered, "Here she comes. Places everyone." Usagi entered first and she heard shouts of greeting and "Surprise! Happy Birthday!" from everyone in the building.

But that did not really surprise her. What surprised her the most was Mamoru standing right next to her.

The next few aren't connected but I am sort of on a roll.

1f: Wish

Word count: 103

"Starlight, starbright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight." Princess Serena stood on the balcony to her room, and looked toward the stars around the planet Earth. She wished for her Prince to come. The one she had met at the last masked ball they had. Tonight her kingdom was holding another and she was hoping for another conversation with him. Another dance, and maybe another kiss.

"The stars are beautiful this night," a deep voice said and Serena gasped, whirling around in surprise.

"My prince!" my wish has come true.

1g: Zodiac signs

Word count: 156

Mamoru opened his newspaper to the sports pages. He read these intently. His team won 12 to 8 their last game, making their wins 5 and their losses 3 this season. Then he turned to the Horoscopes. Leo: You will literally bump into the love of your life. What hogwash! He thought. The only person I have literally bumped into lately is Odango Atama. He stood up and set his dishes into the sinks. He grabbed his backpack and walked down to the garage. He chose his motorbike and drove it to the arcade, where Motoki let him park behind the Arcade. He ran out to the front, to stand beside the bus stop, and the Odango ran into him for about the zillionth time. He landed on his backside, and she scrambled up, bowed and apologized. She ran off without noticing that it was Mamoru that she had knocked over. He shook his head and thought again. Hogwash.

1e: Party Games

Word Count: 151

The beeps and boops of the game machines were loud in the Arcade. Usagi cheered as she beat Haruka in the racing game again. Motoki looked on wide eyed as she won for the second time that week. Haruka leaned over and congratulated her. Nearby Makoto was passing out the bridal shower cake she made. They had ended up giving Usagi her bridal shower at the arcade. After all, what better games to play for parties than video games. Especially for the soon to be married Sailor Moon. Mina flirted with Andrew and Ami studied for a medical exam in between games. Michiru was talking to Mamoru, and Setsuna, was watching over Usagi. Andrew brought over more quarters with Mina's help and Mamoru brought over some cake. Mamoru leaned over and kissed her, distracting her enough that Haruka was able to lap her. Usagi groaned when she realized she was losing.
