Fate, Does It Matter?

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Sailor Moon or Final Fantasy VIII and none of the characters. I only own the rights to this story.

Death, destruction and carnage is everywhere. The evil force that reeked havoc upon the Earth has been defeated. In the sky, high above the city was a young woman.

She had silver hair put up in two heart-shaped odango's on her head. She was wearing a white bodice, and a silver pleated mini-skirt trimmed with the colors: orange, light blue, aqua, sandy-yellow, green, red, black and violet. She was also wearing silver high heels that had little wings on them. Also in her hand was a long body-length staff and on top was a small glowing crystal, radiating with an innocence of purity.

She was floating in the air with pure white wings sprouting out of her back. Below her are Princess Kakyuu and Galaxia whom the young woman freed from dark torment; they were leaving to return to their galaxy with the Starlight's. The young woman wrapped her arms around herself protectively.

" Min'na-chan, doshite did you have to go? Doshite did you have to leave, " sobbed the young woman? "
Doshite does my destiny have to be written in stone? Does fate or anything else matter? Min'na-chan, I miss you! "

" Usagi, " whispered several distant voices!

The young woman, now known as Usagi looked up with tears glossing her eyes. She smiled at the colored star crystals (AN: Star seeds or crystals means the persons soul or life force, just thought to tell you.) then eight transparent female figures appeared.

" Min'na-chan, " said Usagi! " I missed you! I thought I could never survive without you! "

" And have we, " chorused two voices!

" Michiru-san and Haruka-san, " Usagi looks toward the senshi of sea and sky!

" Light, hope, and peace is your strength now and will forever be, like the calm sounds of the ocean and violin, " whispered Michiru!

" As long as you're happy Koneko-chan, I'm happy. Promise me, you will never let the darkness devour you, " replied Haruka quietly!

" I promise, " said Usagi, then she looked towards the senshi of ice and thunder. " Ami and Makoto! "

" You have a pure spirit Usagi and we admire you for that, please never change, " stated Makoto!

" Usagi, you may not be the greatest at school or good at standing your own feet. However, you posses something that brings happiness to the most troubled person. For example, that one time you stopped some students from teasing me, I was eternally grateful to you for that, " explained Ami!

" I will never change, for min'san, " Sobbed Usagi inwardly! Now she looked towards the senshi of fire and love. " Rei and Minako! "

" Odango-atama, you may be annoying and a crybaby at times. Nevertheless, that does not mean I do not appreciate you. In truth, sincerely, I am honored to be your friend, " choked out Rei!

" Usagi, I am pained for what that Mamo-baka did to you. By betraying you for Chaos, but as the senshi of love and beauty, I know that love will find a way to you, " smiled Minako warmly!

" Thank you, Minako and Rei, " gasped out Usagi, but still held back her tears. Then she looks towards the senshi of destruction and time. " Hotaru and Setsuna! "

" Usa-mama, I love you dearly and respect you for what you did when I was possessed by Mistress 9. You did not quit, until you finished whatever you set your mind on. You did not quit until I was cleansed of all evil. Thank you hime and who is my Usa-mama, " explained Hotaru!

" Queen of the stars and my friend, remember that everyone is not controlled by fate and destiny. What I am trying to say is that you are no longer tied by the ropes of destiny, " whispered Setsuna!

" Arigato Setsuna, " mumbled Usagi! " Min'na-chan, I know you do not have much time left and I know we will see each other again. For you all shall be reborn, anata ai suru wa min'na-chan! "

" Sayonara no tomodachi, " chorused all of the senshi as they faded away out of existence, except Setsuna!

" Puu, where are we going, " asked Usagi with tears still lingering in her eyes.

" To the time gates, I have much to tell you, " stated Setsuna!

Just then, a giant black portal opened up and Setsuna (Sailor Pluto) walked through the portal, closely followed by Usagi.

***** At the Time Gates *****

Another portal opened up and out came Sailor Pluto and Usagi.

" Now as for information on where you are going. You are going to an alternate Earth where the technology is far more advanced than we are. In this world, they just had a war and this is the world you were born in. You shall be going by the name Serenity Moonshine and no matter who you shall marry, Cibbiusa will still born, let's just say a little bit different, " explained Sailor Pluto! " In addition, all of the information shall be brought to your attention once you step through this portal. About whom you are and where you will be living will be answered. And don't worry someone will be waiting for you, that you'll probably remember."

" Sayonara hime-sama, " waved Sailor Pluto as she opened up another portal.

" Arigato, ja ne Setsuna-san, " said Usagi as she walked through the portal to be never seen again!
