Naoko (Did I mention she rocks?).  Here is the story I hope you've been
waiting for, the Earth brother and sister finally find each other!! *yay
happy dance*

     'Oh god,' Mamoru thought as he awoke with a jump.  It couldn't
be, how? why? For many nights after the battle in the park with Shizar,
Mamoru was having the oddest dreams.  He guessed he was having such
nightmares because of the bit of energy that hit him as Moshi was
blasted.  Although he was no where near her, he still felt the burning
sensation of being hit.  He glanced down at his bare chest, the red weal
glared back in return.  He got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
Looking in the mirror he had dark circles under his eyes as if he hasn't
slept for days. It might have well been days, it felt like it.  As far as
he know, Moshi was ok.  Him, a different story.  It seems more memories
were surging and he couldn't understand it one bit.  The main dream is a
girl dressed in a fuku running towards him with her arms outstretched.
She's wearing her hair the same as Usagi, except her hair is black.  She
buries herself in his chest and glances up at him with violet eyes.  It's
Moshi.  Usually after the recoginition he wakes up with a jolt.

     "I don't know how, but I know Moshi is my imouto," he murmured as
he splashed water on his face.  He looked back in the mirror and another
face appeared.  A woman, tall with black hair kept in a neat braid.  Her
eyes are brown and they twinkle with hidden thoughts.  Mamoru blinked and
shook his head, before he knew it he had said, "Gaia."

     He swore under his breath, he wondered if this is how people went
insane.  He jumped into the shower, might as well start the day since he
was up, even though it was only 6 in the morning.  He couldn't go back to
sleep, not to that dream.  After a bowl of cereal, he settled down to read
the paper when a knock on the door got his attention.  Who could it be at
7 am?

     "I came to see you before school!" Usagi's voice reached him.  He
smiled to himself, remembering why he loved Usagi.  He opened the door and
before he could say anything she yelled "Ohaiyo, Mamo-chan!" She threw
herself on him and snuggled closer.

     "Usako," he muttered, struggling for air. "I can't breathe!"

     Usagi released her death grip. "Gomen nasai!" she said, removing her
shoes and sitting on the sofa.  "Mamo-chan, Daijoubu?" she asked, seeing
the dark circles under his eyes.

     "Daijoubu," he answered, sitting next to her. "Never mind me, genki
desu ka?" he asked as he planted a kiss on her cheek.  She blushed again
and looked at her hands.

     "Genki desu," she stammered, she was kissed many times before, but
everytime he kissed her, she blushed.  "Hey, don't change the subject, I
can look at you and tell somethings wrong!" she started to whine.

     He knew he was beat, if he refused any further, she'll really start
to whine. "It's just some dreams I've been having lately--" he trailed
off.

     Usagi nodded. "Want to tell me about them? I still have an hour or so
before I have to go."

     "Ok," he started, settling back on the couch. "I keep dreaming about
Moshi and somehow I know she's my imouto.  There's another woman I swore I
saw this morning, She had brown eyes and black hair.  Before I knew
anything I said, 'Gaia.' That must be her name, she could be my okaa-san."

     Usagi gasped, they didn't even tell him Moshi was his sister.
Somehow he found out.  Might as well make it useful! "If you know she's
your sister...I suggest you two spend a day together or something, maybe
Moshi knows what you know."

     The couple talked until it was time for Usagi to leave for school.
Mamoru took Usagi to school on his bike to make sure she got there on
time.  When they pulled up to the school they spotted Moshi heading for
the door. Her pink skirt ruffled sightly as she turned, hearing the bike
and looked directly at Mamoru. It seemed forever the two stared at each
other.  Usagi looked at Moshi and saw her infinity sign glowing faintly,
she looked back at Mamoru, who had removed his helmet, and noticed a small
circle with a cross inside, glowing in return. She mentally gasped,
they were truely brother and sister.

     "Mo-chan, matte!" Usagi said, jumping off Mamoru's bike and
returning the borrowed helmet.  Casting a worried look at Mamoru, who
shook his head as if to snap out of his trance like state.  He blew a kiss
at Usagi and pulled off before she could wave back.  Sighing she turned
back to Moshi and hurried over to her.

     "Ohaiyo Usagi-chan!" Moshi said, placing a bright smile on her
face.

     Usagi grinned, Moshi was always the morning person. "Ohaiyo Mo-chan!,
genki desu ka?"

     "Daijoubu!" she answered and suddenly a dark look crossed her face.
"I wonder, does Mamoru-san know?"

     Usagi only nodded in return. "We can talk about this later, but now,
we're late for class!!!" she grabbed Moshi's arm and dragged her inside
where Haruna-sensei was ready as usual to scream at Usagi, this time Moshi
was included in the bawling out.

     In their seats Moshi whispered to Usagi, "Sheesh, I'll never be late
again!"

     Usagi only giggled in return, she was use to this, it was almost a
daily ritual between her and Haruna-sensei.  She come to school late, 
Haruna-sensei scream at her a bit and the day goes on. All day the class
prepared and delivered their speeches for English class, as usual Usagi
misinterpeted alot of words and she sounded like a first grader, causing
everyone to laugh.  Moshi blushed for Usagi, she was glad that she knew
enough English to do her speech.  Before the next speech, Haruna-sensei
called Moshi up to her desk.

     "Hai Haruna-sensei?" Moshi asked.

     "Takanera-san, I would appreciate it if you would deliver this to
Sekano-sensei in 2-6," she said, handing Moshi a large manilla envelope.

     Moshi nodded, "Will do Haruna-sensei!" she saluted.  Grabbing the
hall pass she slipped into the hallway and headed for 2-6.  She'll get to
see Makoto before lunch.  She slowly walked humming to herself, trying to
make the most of this.  Approaching the door of 2-6 she straightned her
dress, making sure her star was attached.  She knocked on the door and
peered in. Sekano-sensei seemed to be in a deep discussion with his
students, he looked up walked over and opened the door. 

     "Come in," he smiled, leading her into 2-6. "Is that for me?" he
asked, noticing the envelope in her small hand.

     Moshi nodded and handed him the envelope. "It's from Haruna-sensei in
2-1." She calmly stood while he read the letter.  She spotted Makoto
sitting near the window.  Makoto looked up and smiled and waved.  Moshi
waved back and quickly took her hand down when he looked up from the
letter.

     "I see, well welcome to 2-6 Takanera-san," he said as he smiled at
her. 

     "NANI!?" she asked, unsure of what was happening.

     He frowned a bit and adjusted his glasses. "Haruna-sensei didn't tell
you the nature of this letter.?" He decided to continue when Moshi shook
her head in answer. "It seems you're very good in biology and since we're
a few chapters ahead, you will be taking biology with us.  Everyday at 2
to 3 o'clock."

     "Oh, I thought she was trying to pan hand me off to you," She
blushed.  He showed her the letter with had a copy of her recent
scores.

     "I shall see you today at 2 o'clock Takanera-san, you will be sitting
next to Kino-san.  Kino-san please raise your hand."  A long arm raised in
the air as Makoto shyly smiled.  The rest of the class gawked, Moshi would
be sitting next to the karate maniac!

     At twelve Moshi, Makoto, Ami and Usagi met for lunch.  They sat under
their usual tree and talked while they ate.  Moshi, being the ravenous
eater had two bags of food with her, she polished off three sandwiches of
ham and cheese with two apples and two bags of chips.  Not to mention
three juices!  She also mooched a bit off of Makoto, who always brought
lots of food with her.

     "My god, you're going to explode!" Ami cried, trying to keep Moshi's
hands away from her lunch.

     "Nah, if I haven't exploded now, I never will!" Moshi laughed,
stuffing a cupcake in her mouth.  Usagi, who was normally known for
stuffing her face only stared at Moshi in suprise.  She'd never seen
another person eat more than her!

     "Mo-chan, what's this in your hair," Ami said, plucking at Moshi's
hair.

     "I don't kno--OUCH!" Moshi said, pulling her head away.  Ami looked
at what she pulled out of Moshi's hair, it was a gray hair.  Actually it
was more like a white hair. 

     "Lemme see!" Makoto said, pulling Ami's wrist closer. "Oh wow a gray
hair! That means you're smart!"

     "Gray hair?" Moshi asked looking at Usagi who only shrugged in
return.

     Ami studied the gray hair.  She whipped out her computer and
analyzied the hair.  Still not coming to an conclusion she put the hair in
her sandwich bag and put it in her pocket to study later. 

     "I heard Haruna-sensei screaming all the way in 2-6, what did you do
this time Usagi?" Makoto asked.

     "We were late hehehe," Usagi laughed as Moshi blushed.

     "She really bawled us out for being late, I don't know how Usagi can
stand it everyday!" Moshi said, she stood up balling up her paper sacks.
"I'll be right back, I'm going to throw this away." She walked off in
search of the garbage can.

     "I didn't want to say this while she was here," Usagi said, her voice
going low. "Mamo-chan found out that they are related.  I say we get those
two together for a family reunion!" She finished, looking from Makoto to
Ami.

     Ami diverted her attention away from her food. "I see, so how do you
suppose we do this?"

     Makoto thought for a moment. "How about we all go to a movie or
something and then leave them! I know it sounds crazy, but hey who
knows!"

     "Knows what?" Moshi said as she sat back down.

     "Uh..um who knew you could eat all that food!" Ami said stammering
slightly.

     She looked at the three of their faces, they knew something and
weren't going to talk.

*			*			*			*

     Again, on time, classes were over for the day.  Usually Usagi, Ami,
Makoto, and Moshi walked home together, but today Moshi was the first one
out the door.  Usagi screamed for her to slow down but she kept going, she
also noticed more gray hairs in Moshi head, it was as if she was aging
fast.

     Moshi headed towards the arcade, she was walking deep in thought when
she ran into a tall person.  "Ooof!" she said as she slammed into the
person.

     "Ouch!, watch where you're goi--hey it's the midget again!" the
voice said, and Moshi relized it was Mamoru.

     "Aieee! Sumimasen!" Moshi said as she pried herself away.

     "Daijoubu! Midget woman," he laughed, his blue eyes twinkling, "I
take it classes are over for today ne?"

     "Hai," she answered, shortly.

     "If you're not doing anything," he started. "how about we go have
lunch or something, I know you like to eat like Usako." He stopped, how
did he know she liked to eat too? He shook his head.

     Moshi mentally gawked. Somehow he knew..... "Um ok, I have nothing to
do for a bit, where would you like to go?"

     "How about the new place across the street?" he asked, pointing to
where the new cafe was. 

     "Sure, lets go!" she said, placing a smile on her face.

     She placed her small arm in the crook of his and together they walked
across the street to the new sidewalk cafe.  Moshi, trying to be somewhat
humble only ordered a small hamburger meal.  He ordered the same, the two
talked a bit before their food was served.

     "Enough of the small talk, I have one word to say, Gaia," Mamoru
said, causing Moshi to gasp and drop her silverware.

     "What about Gaia?" Moshi said, trying to play it off.

     "I know she's our okaa-san, which means, you're my imouto-chan," he
said, calmly folding his hands on the table.

     "How long did you know?" she asked, knotting her napking around her
hands.

     He smiled. "I figured it out today, when you looked at me when I
dropped Usako off for school.  Somehow you triggered memories of us at our
old home, The Golden palace."

     Moshi swore at herself, damn infinity sign, always popping up when
not needed. "Um well, no need to change anything, I understand if you
don't want a sister now."

     "No," he cut her off. "I like the idea of having a sister, only
Usako was my family, now I have you and that makes me happy."

     Moshi twiddled her thumbs. "Ano...I'm not really your sister," she
started, her eyes seemingly filling with tears.

     Mamoru placed his hand over Moshi's small one. "That doesn't really
matter, I would still be happy if you considered me to be your brother,"
he smiled, his blue eyes twinkling.

     Moshi blinked. "Honto? Ru-chan!" Moshi said, his old nickname from
the past.

     "Midget," he said, placing a wide smile on his handsome face. Earth
Brother and Sister were finally back together.  Somewhere in her palace,
Gaia smiled knowing her children were reunited.

     "Midget, what's this in your head?" he said, plucking at something in
her hair.

     "Let me guess..OUCH..another gray hair?" She asked wincing slightly.

     He nodded, "yea, I mean it's white? How old are you anyway?!"

     She laughed. "I'm only 14!" She fluttered her eyelashes, making him
crack up, people from nearby tables glared at them angrily, they were
making so much noise.  The glares only caused them both to laugh even
louder.  Gasping for air they finally settled down and finished their
meals.  Across the street, the senshi watched them, unnoticed.
