Author's Note: First off, I want to thank everyone whose been following this series, and especially those of you out there volunteering ideas (especially Alara Moonrunner, who suggested killing him off by his getting in the way of the Senshi attacks and whom I forgot to acknowledge in chapter two). The following episode is based on a nominee for the Darwin Awards a few years back. Enjoy. ------ ---Episode Four: Splat!--- Tuxedo Kamen received the distress call and hurried over to the dilapidated old hotel as fast as he could. When he got there, he found the Sailor Senshi battling a huge five hundred pound youma up on the roof. The Senshi had tried all their attacks, but nothing had worked. The young women were cowering near the end of the roof, and Tuxedo Kamen knew he didn't have time to get up there to save them. He pulled his rose out, knowing his aim would have to be perfect. "Sailor Moon, duck!" he shouted as he flung the fragrant projectile. Usagi moved out of the way just in time as the rose imbedded itself into the youma's heart like a dagger. "Tuxedo Kamen, you saved us!" Sailor Moon cheered. The thing clutched its chest as its eyes rolled back. "Don't mention it." Tuxedo Kamen said with a smile, "It was nothing, really." The youma then fell dead from the five story building's roof. "Mamo-chan!" Sailor Venus screamed, "Look out!" "Huh?" Tuxedo Kamen asked, "Wha..." Unfortunately for all involved, the dead body of the five hundred pound youma landed directly on top of Tuxedo Kamen. The impact cracked the sidewalk the hero was standing on and squashed his body like a grape. In the stunned silence that followed, Sailor Moon began to weep, her heart breaking as she saw her love sprawled out under the beast, his tongue sticking out in an almost comical way. She'd never felt pain like this before, and didn't know if it was possible for her to ever feel happy again. Just then, a pair of arms wrapped around her from behind, pulling her into a hug. "Usagi." Rei whispered, "I... I'm so sorry." Makoto leaned over the side of the dilapidated building when she thought she saw something. It almost looked like Tuxedo Kamen was ever so slightly stirring under the youma's body. "Hey guys!" she shouted excitedly, "I..." before she could finish her sentence, a loose brick on the balcony she was leaning on came free and fell straight down, landing on Tuxedo Kamen's face. "Uh... Never mind." she said sheepishly. "He's dead." Usagi sobbed, "The only love I ever had, I..." "Not your only love." Rei said, her voice thick with emotions. Usagi turned around in her friends arms and looked at her funny, "Rei?" she asked, "What do you mean?" "I... I love you, Usagi. I have for a while now. I know how sad you are, and how heartbroken, but if... If you gave me a chance Usagi, I could make you so happy. And I know that if Mamo-chan were around, he'd... That's funny, how'd that brick get there? Anyways, if he were around he wouldn't want you to be sad and depressed; he'd want you to be happy too." Usagi's beautiful blue eyes widened as she reached over and stroked Rei's cheek, "Rei-chan..." she whispered breathlessly. Rei smiled, "Come." she said, "We'll go to my place." And so, as the refuse truck came by to dispose of the youma and Mamoru, Rei and Usagi joined hands, intent on starting their new life together. ---To Be Continued---
