The world was at peace. The sailor soldiers for the meantime, lead peaceful lives. Time came when they had to part.

At the coffee shop, Usagi was restraining herself from bursting into tears of happiness and sadness with the news she will be receiving from the three. She knew that they were to say something that would somehow make her feel alone. Since it was time for them to go to College and pursue their dreams-being the biggest part of their lives-and find their own romances, there was no way they could still see each other after classes.

Luna and Artemis, seeing no sign of trouble at present and in the future went to the future with Chibiusa. They were complete except for Rei who told them she had a lot of chores to do in the Hikawa shrine.

Ami, was seated right next to Minako, and was right across Usagi, she felt that Usagi knew what she was to say, knowing that it was all time for them to achieve a higher degree of learning.

"The offer in Germany is still on for me. Is it okay with you guys if i go and study there?," Ami said, seeing no shock in Usagi's features.

Usagi knew deep inside her that Ami will reach far places, and though it breaks her heart to see them be in distant locations, she knew it will make Ami very happy and content. There was no doubt in the friendship they have and for that fact she felt secure and okay.

"It's your dream Ami, we won't hold you back," Usagi replied, with the most sincere smile she could give. It was believable.

"Yes, Usagi is right. We know how you've always been wanted to be like your mom, and this college in that country is one of the best, so you should," Makoto supported.

"I thought Minako will come?" Ami inquired.

"You know her, late as always, like"

"Hey! you didn't need to say that!" Usagi said in defense.

Suddenly, the door flung open, and because of Minako's clumsiness, spilled the drinks that a waitress was about to bring to a customer. It was astonishing to see Minako not get mad after someone spilled juice in her dress, which everyone knew would stain. She ignored it and yelled toward the waitress to put it on her tab. She then hurried to the table where Usagi, Ami and Makoto were sitting.

Everyone flinched when they heard Minako's high-pitched voice trying to tell them something. She was so excited that she stood there saying outloud what she wanted to hear and leaning over the table, as if she was telling them a secret. Makoto couldn't take it so she had to say something.

"Wait, Minako, breathe...we don't understand a thing that you are saying, so please take a seat and let us have a civil conversation"

"Okay..." Minako sat down and from there she saw how she has caused a commotion and kinda felt embarassed for doing such a thing. "Anyway, you guys remember this right?" It was more of a statement, rather than a question.

She suddenly showed them a letter that stated a record album for her since she was the one who stood out of the finalist for the Search for a Popstar. Ami suddeny remembered, it was about a year ago…

"Wasn't that the one that Yaten judged?"

"Yes, and the contract is still on. I may stop schooling for a while to pursue my dream but it would surely become a busy life. You know how it goes. You saw how the Starlights went on with their life"

"So you would be away huh?" Usagi managed to mumble.

"It's not like we won't see each other at all Usagi. We're friends and that's how it will always be"

"Yes, that's right, so even if I'm in another country we can still see each other, we still have our communicators" was what Ami said, in order to make Usagi feel better. She now saw how Usagi felt abandoned.

Makoto suddenly felt as if it wasn't only their parting that was making Usagi miserable. "There's another thing, isn't it"

"No"

"Usagi, I'm sorry, but if it's about Mamoru"

"No, I really don't feel like it. I'm sorry"

"And there's another thing, it might make you even more miserable, but I hope you will still be happy for me and for the three of us"

"Okay?"

"I got into the Culinary Arts School that I've dreamed of"

"That's great!" there was happiness in Usagi's voice, but she really didn't know where that school was so she wanted to know, even though her intuition told her that it was on the other side of the world.

"Yes, I know. But Usagi, we know that this side of Tokyo doesn't have the best Culinary Arts School, and I'm going to the best"

"I understand"

"Cheer up, Usagi,"Ami said.

"I'm sorry, don't worry. I am really happy for you guys. Knowing I have true friends, those of which will be famous, one a pop star, the other a world-reknowned chef, and the other one a genius and a doctor in the future! Congratulations you guys!" She was very cheerful this time, also convincing herself of what she has just said.

"Time to go, I already have to meet with the producer of the album. See you all tomorrow. Rei's place"

"Yes, it's probably the last time we will be together as five. My flight leaves the next day" Ami said.

"Well! That would be our farewell party! I'll go home and make presents for all of you." With that, Usagi stood up, and left the cafe. Once she was outside, she felt tears running down her face, and in fear of anyone seeing her like this, she ran home.
