Usagi laid in bed thinking about many things. She was extremely happy to be with Mamo-chan like this and looked forward to the day they would be married. They still hadn't set a date, but they would. Life was keeping them both busy, but lately it seemed like they saw less ad less of each other. Mamoru was busy at his internship and Usagi was busy at her job. Ever since she had worked with the kids she had done an exceptional job and was hired part time; however, the kids she saw now came from even rougher backgrounds which only broke her heart more. Usagi was determined to help all of these kids, even the ones who were rude and had already once harmed her either verbally or physically.

Usagi had finally drifted off to sleep, but her nights were still occasionally haunted by the nightmares of when she was attacked the year before. Usagi was taken back to that night and she felt like the event was re-occurring, the dream had been so vivid that she felt like someone was grabbing on to her and it made the blonde girl wake up in a nervous panic, screaming and throwing her limbs about to break free of the hands that were grasped around her waist.....Little did she know that those hands likely did not belong to any of her attackers, but someone else.
