~*~The Adventures Of Neo Sailor Moon~*~
~*~Farewell My Friends~*~
~*~Chapter One~*~
It was a cold, rainy night. She stared out the window, wondering if the rain would ever stop. Suddenly she heard a sound. She went to inspect. She walked out her room only to see that it was her friend, Diana, who was walking down the hall with the bell on her neck ringing ever so softly. The young Neo princess stepped back in her room and returned her gaze to the window. It was a typical lazy Sunday night. It was nights like this, nights alone by herself that her mind would always drift off and she would always remember her unique past, a past she'd never forget. So many memories began to fill her head. She remembered lots of happy memories with her past mother, father, and friends, but a few memories in particular would always haunt her mind....and her dreams. "Elios", she said softly into the dark, dense night. Every now and then she would dream of him, in his human form. It would always be the same dream. She would be standing alone in front of a lake at the back of the Crystal Palace, her favorite place, wearing a gown, much like her mothers. Suddenly a figure would appear in the middle, one she recognized immediately. It would always be Elios standing as if he were floating on the water, with one hand reaching out for her. She would look at him, lovingly, and then reach her own hand out for him. "I miss you little one." He would always say, so softly, right before the dream would end and she would wake up. Though many years had passed since she was little, she still clung to all those precious memories with all her heart. And though she had hated leaving her past mother, father and friends, she knew it was something she had to do. She remembered that day as if it were yesterday.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
It was a beautiful sunny, summer day, a year after Elios had left her. She was now twelve years old. On this particular day she had been in the park with Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto, and Minako. They were exhausted from the shopping they had done that day and were sitting down in the park to relax.
Chibi-Usa had left Luna Ball in the house, so she was extremely surprised when she saw it coming towards her.
"Chibi-Usa, didn't we leave Luna Ball in the house when we left this morning?" asked Usagi.
"Yes, I did. I don't know what its doing here."
Just then a small holographic image of Neo Queen Serenity appeard from Luna Ball in front of all of them. Everyone was thankfull that they were the only people in the park at the time. Everyone looked at eachother and then the image started to speak.
"Hello everyone, and you, my darling daughter." said Neo Queen Serenity in a calm voice.
"Mama!" Chibi-Usa said as her eyes lit up.
"Yes sweetheart, its me. We have missed you so. Both me and your father think that you have trained enough in the two years you have been there, and we would like you to come home."
"Home? Mother do you really think I'm ready yet?"
"Of course Small Lady, I've known for some time that you were ready to come home, I only thought you needed more time in the past to grow and mature into the Senshi that you are destined to be. But sadly it is not only that, Ami has recently told me that she and Rei feel some strange presence, and we need you here so that I may bestowe unto you your true powers as a Senshi if anything should happen."
Usagi listened to the conversation between Chibi-Usa and her future self. Tears suddenly found their way to her eyes and she quietly cried as she listened on.
"I understand mother, but may I have some time to say goodbye to everyone before I come home?" Chibi-Usa said as tears found their way to her eyes as well.
"Of course sweetheart. We shall be expecting you tomorrow night and will have a party to celebrate your home coming."
Neo Queen Serenity bowed her head and then was gone.
Chibi-Usa looked back at everyone behind her. Then she looked at Usagi and ran into her arms. Rei was the first to speak.
"We're really gonna miss you kiddo."
Chibi-Usa looked up at everyone and said, "I'm gonna miss you guys too, all of you."
Usagi got up, still holding Chibi-Usa's hand she told everyone "I'm going to take her to Mamo-Chan's house so we can tell him what just happened and we'll meet you all at Rei's temple tomorrow afternoon." Usagi sniffled and wiped the tears from her eyes. After everyone agreed, they left.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
When they got to Mamoru's appartment Usagi knocked on the door and Mamoru opened it to find two distressed girls. He motioned for them to come in. "Whats wrong? Did something happen?" he said, sounding concerned.
Usagi looked at him and told him everything that happened in the park that day. By the time she finished she had reverted back to crying and had Mamoru looking sad.
"Its going to be pretty boring here without you," he said with a sad tone in his voice.
Chibi-Usa instanly got up and ran into his arms. Usagi had stopped crying long enough to walk over to them and join them in the hug. They were a family and they wanted to savor this moment forever. Then Usagi spoke."Chibi-Usa, how would you like it if me and Mamo-Chan took you to the Amusement Park?"
Chibi-Usa whiped the tears from her eyes and nodded.
It was late that night when they returned home. Usagi wasn't at all surprised when they were greeted by her mother at the door. Mrs. Tsukino seemed very worried and mad at the same time. However Usagi managed to come up with an excuse that they had simply lost track of time and their ride was late from the Amusement Park. Usagi's mother understood and told them both to just go to bed and get some rest.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
Usagi and Chibi-Usa both woke up very late the next day. By the time they got to the Temple it was 12:45 and when they entered they were greeted by Rei, Ami, Makoto, Minako, Mamoru, Luna and Atremis who all yelled at once "SURPRISE!!!!"
Both Usagi and Chibi-Usa's faces lit up as they saw balloons everywhere and a big cake on the center table.
"Oh thank you so much guys, this is so great," Chibi-Usa said with a big smile on her face as she went to go hug each one of the girls.
The party went on for a few hours as it seemed no one wanted it to end.
At about 5:00 everyone was sitting down and Chibi-Usa was looking at the six presents she had recieved. From Rei she had gotten a good luck charm with the signs of all the Senshi's planets with the Moon in pink in the center. From Makoto she got some delicious looking muffins to take home with her. Minako gave her a photo album full of pictures of her and everyone taken over the summer. From Ami she got that small painting that hung in Ami's room that she had always admired. It was a picture that reminded her of Elios, it was a horse with wings and a gold horn flying past the moon. From Luna and Artemis she recieved a special desguise pen of her own that looked a lot like Usagi's but it was silver with a pink jewel on top. From Mamoru she got a silver rose made entirely of crystal. It looked a lot like the Imperium Silver Crystal. It was now time for Usagi to give her gift. Everyone sat around patiently watching as Usagi held her gold Star Locket and placed it on the table they were sitting around. She then closed her eyes and the brooch she always wore opened to reveal the Imperium Silver Crystal. The crystal then floated into her opened hands. She removed her hands and the crystal remained floating over the Star Locket. Suddenly the crystal began to glow and the Star Locket started to glow bighter and brighter. When it was finished moments later there appeared an identical Star Locket next to Usagi's but in silver. Usagi then placed the crystal back in her brooch. Everyone stared in amazment as Usagi handed the Silver Star Locket to Chibi-Usa.
Chibi-Usa held the locket and stared at it. She then placed it on the tabel and ran to hug Usagi. "Thank you Usako.....Mother." Chibi-usa said as tears started to flow down her face.
"Your welcome my darling daughter," was Usagi's response.
They came out of the hug and alsmost as soon as they did Luna Ball floated over to Chibi-Usa and the image of Neo Queen Serenity appeared again.
"Its time to come home now Small Lady. Are you ready?," Neo Queen Serenity questioned.
Chibi-Usa looked back at all her friends, Usagi and Mamoru. She smiled lightly and then returned her glance to her mother. " Yes mama, I'm ready to go home now. "
"Okay then Small One. We'll see you in a few. " Once more the Queen bowed and then was gone.
When Chibi-Usa turned to look at them again everyone but Mamoru and Artemis had tears in their eyes. She then ran into the loving arms of five girls with Usagi hugging her in the middle. She too bagan to cry. Then she hugged Mamoru. Then the two cats. She then backed away from them and grabed the Crystal Time Key from around her neck where she always carried it. With a bag of all her presents in her hand and Luna Ball next to her she turned to everyone again.
"I'm going to miss you guys."
"We're all going to miss you too Chibi-Usa," Rei spoke up.
"I'll be back you guys, I promise......some day."
They all smiled at her. She then raised the key above her head and shouted "CRYSTAL TIME KEY, TAKE ME TO THE TIME GATE!!!" Chibi-Usa began to glow brightly and then she was gone.
