Once I walked into the isolated cafe, I knew this was not going to go well. As soon as I saw my wife stirring her drink furiously, I knew this was going to be hard. I sat down next to her and said nothing at first. However, this silence was quickly stopped when Serenity said, "Glad you decided to show up." Her voice could kill.
"Sereni-" I started.
"So how's everybody?" she interrupted me.
Letting out a breathe of air I told her, "Nothing's getting better."
At first, she did not say anything. "Interesting," finally came out of her mouth.
"Don't even go there," I said in an icy tone. "You know it's the best way. You have to remain safe."
"For God's sake Endy! This is *my* Kingdom that I have ruled over for a long time. I know about danger. I can fight danger. I'm not the 14-year-old you need to protect anymore!"
At the mention of her younger self, I lowered my head.
"What's going on in the past?" She asked me. "Did sending Rini back help any?"
I sighed. "The negaverse is as strong right now as back then."
"You still didn't answer my question," she reminded me. "What's going on?"
"Look," I said getting frustrated, "we'll just have to defeat them right now. To save the everyone."
"The point was we sent Rini so she could help the others defeat them in the past!" she said her eyes blazing.
"You need some sleep," I told her.
"No, what I need is to go home!"
Then she started walking towards the exit of the building, going into the cold weather. I quickly got up and ran out the cafe after her. Managing to catch up to her, I grabbed her shoulder and turned her around. Her eyes were still on fire staring at me.
"Serenity, please. You know what will happen if they catch you. Just let us defeat as much as we can. Then you can come. It's so dangerous right now. You helping us would not help at all. We have been over this. We *decided* this."
Her eyes immediately filled with tears. "You don't understand. I didn't know it was going to be this long, Endymion."
"Sereni-" I began.
"I miss it, okay? I miss the scouts, I miss my daughter-"
"Serenity-" I tried again.
"I miss you!" she cried.
I instinctually took her in my arms. "I'm sorry, sorry, sorry."
'That's all I can tell her,' I thought, kissing the top of her head. 'She knows everything else.'
My grip around her tightened. "I miss you too but it's for the best."
She immediately pushed herself out of her arms. "You never learn. You will see. You'll see." Then in a fury, she started to walk away again. I didn't stop her. 'So much for our weekly meeting," I thought kicking a stone as the winds grew heavier.
It was the day after Endymion's little talk. Husband knows best. Riiight. If I had anything to do with it, it was not going to end this way. Over my dead body. But as soon as I walked in the Crystal Palace, I gasped. It was worst then when I left. People were running all over the place doing business. *They* were getting closer. I could feel it.
"My Queen! You aren't supposed to be here!"
I turned to see a fellow worker of the Crystal Palace. Without a thought, I grabbed his forearm. "Dimitrius, what's going on? Is it true? Did Mercury die?"
Of course, Dimitrius, didn't look at me. "Mi, Lady, you aren't supposed to be here. I think that-"
Putting both of my hands on his shoulders, I stared into his brown eyes. "Did. Mercury. Die." I said it slowly with clenched teeth.
Dimitrius sighed. "Yes, my Queen. You should talk to the King about it." Ah! The King! I would talk to him all right. And punch him if I had a chance.
"Thank you Dimitrius," I told him smiling despite the tears in my eyes, giving him a slight nod, then hurrying off into Endymion's office.
I opened the door not bothering to knock. And there sat Endymion. He looked like a wreck. His hand writing and signing a bunch of papers. He looked so cute, with his hair sticking out in direction from what could be called stress. He didn't even hear me, he was so concentrated.
"Ahem," I cleared my throat. Endymion looked at me and I saw surprise/anger in his eyes. "SERENITY!!" he yelled. "What in hell do you think you're doing?"
I just stared at him. Endymion didn't scare me. Or intimidate me. "I think the question is what are *you* doing? Mercury died! Where are the troops? What happened?"
Endymion stared at me with a fierce gaze. "Half our troops are down. You know, right now, back there, they aren't winning."
He meant in the past right now.
"We just have to figure something out. And you're not supposed to be here!" anger was creeping back into his voice.
"That's it. There's a solution." I told him lifting my chin up.
"Oh, and would you like to share with the class?" he asked me with sarcasm.
"I'm going pay some of our old friends a visit."
Endymion's hands were clenched at his sides. "Serenity, don't you dare-"
But I didn't hear him finish. I had already disappeared.

Ooooh! The suspense! Haha, just playing. Okay this is my first *Sailor Moon* fan-fic. I have wrote other but not on this topic. While we are at this, you may be surprised, but Sailor Moon doesn't belong to me. All Naoko Takeuchi. Hers. Not mine. Hers. Okay now that we have that across I need to explain something. This first chapter is in the Silver Millenium. The second chapter will be in present-day Tokyo. Third chapter in Silver Millenium. Fourth chapter in present-day Tokyo, and so on and so forth. Every other chapter. Well hope you enjoy and I will write the 2nd chapter ASAP. I'd love you forever if you would write a review and I'd be even more happier if you would e-mail me! ktmeshell@msn.com. Enjoy:)~
