If Tomorrow Never Comes

By Lady Aiko

Prologue

1000 years ago, a year before Queen Beryl's attack on the Moon

Kingdom, the universe known as the Milky Way was a happy place, full

of beautiful and powerful systems. One of these systems was the

Silver Millennium.

Standing at the head of this universe was a central planet known as

Kalrissia. A king known as King Galliandar Hemar, a powerful and

compassionate man, ruled this planet. Along with his wife, Queen

Elyssia, and his daughter Princess Callista, they looked after their

universe, supporting the systems beneath their wing.

However, a dreadful attack upon one of their systems known as

Isrialsher happened, and Kalrissia put their defensive powers into

protecting their system. While Kalrissia's energy was temporarily in

use in another system, Kalrissia was attacked by a negative enforced

group of dark sorcerers and mages known as the Hashina Slayers, who

had organized the attack on Isrialsher as a diversion. Their dark

spells swept over Kalrissia and many of its systems. King Galliandar,

as a last request, sent his daughter and the mystical millennia

objects (the sources of Kalrissia's power which had been damaged by

the Hashina Slayers) to Earth, part of one of the only unaffected

systems. A year later an attack happened from the Nega Verse

destroying Earth and the rest of the system's culture.

A thousand years later, the mightiest battle the Milky Way has ever

fought shall begin.

Saturday December 19th, 1998, 7:52 am.

Twelve-year-old Darlene Elizabeth shivered as she pulled what few

clothes she had up around her body.

'Damn the cold,' she thought to herself. 'It's never done anyone any

good.'

Sighing heavily, Darlene walked by the coffee shop on the corner of

Eighth Avenue and Fourth Street. Quickly she began digging around in

her pockets, trying to find some money for a hot drink or at least a

donut or something. Sighing once again, she pulled her hands out of

the pockets of her worn out, torn up jeans and combed them through

her tangled black mane in dire need of a good cut.

No money, not even a penny.

Darlene leaned forwards onto the glass putting her hands with her

fingerless gloves on against the glass. She looked on enviously at

the people inside, warm to the bone with coffees and teas in their

hands.

Turning around, she leaned against the glass again this time with her

back to it. She tilted her head back and closed her eyes, sighing

heavily.

Life had seen better days.

But at least she was away from them.

When she was only a baby, Darlene had been orphaned. Darlene never

knew why or how her parents died or even if she'd had any siblings.

All that she knew was that an American couple living in Seattle had

soon adopted her. They had taken her back there and raised her until

she was nine when she ran away to Canada (Vancouver to be exact).

Darlene shook her head sharply trying to dispel her adopted parents

images from her head. It was over; it was done; it was far in the

past where it belonged.

Someone brushing past her brought Darlene suddenly out of her

thoughts. She opened her eyes to see a young blond woman in her early

twenties brush by her, a warm winter coat wrapped around her. Darlene

carefully and instinctively reached forwards towards the woman's

pocket where Darlene could vaguely make out the corner of the woman's

wallet.

But suddenly the woman reached out and grabbed Darlene's wrist.

Darlene was shocked! She'd never been caught before.

The woman calmly looked her up and down. If she were mad it would

have been nearly impossible to tell.

Without speaking, the woman calmly pulled her into the alley near by

without causing a ruckus.

Finally after what seemed like an eternity, the woman spoke.

"Hello Darlene, my name is Callee and your one of the ones I've been

searching for."

Saturday March 8th, 2003, 10:29 am.

Callee Walters busily flipped another pancake onto the already huge

stack of pancakes spread across a giant platter. She pushed quickly

past one of her six roommates who reached towards the pancakes

hungrily.

"You know the rules Jaed, no one gets any food until everyone's had a

good heads up that the food's ready."

"But..."

"No buts." Callee added as she pushed the button on the intercom

connecting her to all the rooms. "Breakfasts ready guys. Get your

butts outta bed and down here before Jaed and I eat it all."

"You guys eat it all? I don't think so!" Came the exasperated yell of

Darlene from upstairs as she bound past the four other guys and

gracefully slid down the railing, bounding neatly off the end and

through the large double doors to the kitchen.

"Morning Callee!" She called taking her seat across the table from

Jaedite.

"Good morning hyper demon." Jaedite remarked staking a pile of five

pancakes onto his plate.

"Morning pig." She remarked looking at Jaedite's pile of Callee's

extra large home made pancakes.

It only took a few more seconds for the four other guys, Darryl,

Kunzite, Zoisite, and Nephrite to come bounding into the kitchen and

to their spots around the table. Callee sighed heavily.

"For god's sake Darryl put on a shirt." Callee added in placing the

syrup on the table.

Standing Darryl wrapped his arms around Callee pulling her close to

his body clad only in a pair of baggy sweats.

Callee giggled as he rubbed his fingers across her sides, tickling

her lightly. Then he leaned forwards and kissed her neck softly then

whispered, "Its not like you don't like it."

Callee playfully pushed him away. "Just do it Darryl Chiba."

Laughing Darryl reached for his plate and placed two pancakes on it

before heading out to the laundry room, plate in hand.

Things had been like this for close to three years now. Callee had

taken Darlene in five years earlier and over the next two years had

spent a good chunk of her time searching for the others that lived

with her. Callee turned out to be the reincarnation of Princess

Callista of Kalrissia who had regained her memories through dreams as

a teenager. Darryl and Darlene turned out to be the reincarnations of

Prince Endymion's siblings, Prince Motaru Darryl (two years older

than Endymion), and Princess Elizabeth Darlene (four years younger

than Endymion). The other four, after the battle with Beryl had been

granted back their lives in North America. All six had regained their

memories of their pasts when they had been reunited with Callee.

None of them had chosen to go to Japan to meet up with the other

Senshi (who as far as they knew didn't even remember them from the

past). They were needed in North America, the other Senshi were

needed in Japan.

Darlene had been enlightened on the truth of her parent's deaths by

Darryl who had been six at the time. She and Darryl had been staying

with neighbors when their parents took their other sibling, Mamoru,

on a drive on his birthday. A car accident then had claimed their

parents' lives and they didn't even know if their brother had

survived.

A great family living in Toronto Ontario, Canada had adopted Darryl.

Darryl later was accepted to the University of British Columbia where

he was reunited with his past fiancée Callee.

Callee 's parents had made a fortune off of the oil industry in

Alberta Canada. Callee had loved her parents tremendously despite the

fact they weren't around much when she was growing up. However, when

she was eighteen a plane crash claimed their lives leaving Callee

their entire fortune. Now she was twenty-six and supporting six other

people on that fortune while she and Darlene broke off into musical

careers.

Callee smiled and took her seat beside Darryl's empty seat.

Despite all the tragedies that had filled their lives, life was good.
