I really should just post a story when I'm totally done with it. I have that nasty habit of never finishing any. Oh well. I'm too impulsive, and I want people to see whether this is any good or not before I go on.

A few things, though. Usa's a little OOC, but, actually, everyone is. Chibi-Usa's not half as annoying, but more of a little sister than a pink spore. Generals are in here too, and. well, the rest, you'll have to read for yourself. =P A/U fanfiction, really, but I like the idea of parallel universes too, so that's how this idea came about.

DISCLAIMER: Bishoujo Senshi Sera Mun does not belong to me. Don't sue, because you have no grounds in a court of law. IT'S JUST A FANFIC!!! Thank you.

Dimensions of Time

To see events of one's past, to feel the emotions of one's present, to know of the road to one's future. a decision of the heart, a lost hope, creates new dimensions, new realities.

Sailor Pluto gazed at the time streams thoughtfully. The weaving, iridescent path it took through the fabrics of time, space, and dimension never failed to fascinate her. A particular tug at the back of her mind, however, made her gaze at a specific point in its flowing path.

'Hm, this is when Mamoru-san and Usagi-chan break up,' Setsuna thought to herself. She had witnessed this inevitable event caused by her King many times, and it never failed that with every viewing, it pulled at her heart and made her yearn to comfort her future Queen, but she knew that interfering with the event would be breaking one of Time's Taboos, and breaking one meant certain death for her. So, she stayed out of it.

"Why would the stream tell me to look here?" Pluto said aloud to no one. The slow time breeze whispered by. But within moments, she got her answer. The stream gave off an awful wailing sound as it ripped into two iridescent streams. Bits of stream dripped to Pluto's feet as she looked on in horror.

"Usagi's power. created a dimensional rift?!" she whispered in disbelief. She quickly scanned all the way up to the future and saw that, indeed, they were separate, but would someday, in the near formation of Crystal Tokyo, join up again and be as one. But this new stream fascinated her. It waved, split, and dipped as it tried to cover the exploits of both her Queen and her court, even when they were thousands of miles away from one another.

"My Queen is much stronger than I thought," Setsuna said in awe. Intrigued, she followed the exploits of her Queen, and the alterations from the events so familiar to her.

"Mamo-chan. what happened? Why do you reject me now?" Tsukino Usagi sobbed into her pillow. Mamoru had just told her that they needed to break up. No warning, no reason whatsoever. They just couldn't be together anymore. Just then, her Ikuko-mama, Tsukino Ikuko, came into Usa's room, bearing a whole tray full of sweets.

"Usagi! I have your afternoon snack!" Ikuko-mama chirped cheerily, but her mood became somber and worried in a heartbeat. "Oh my darling, what's happened?"

"Mama, ma- ma- Mamo-ch-ch-chan broke up with me!" Usagi wailed. Her mother clicked her toungue in understanding.

"You know, your father told me something very interesting," Ikuko said. "He's going to the United States, more specifically, California, on business for two years, and was wondering if either you or Shingo would like to go abroad for two years. Shingo said no, giving the reason that he liked being here more, but I suspected he has other reasons for staying, like that nice friend of his. His flight leaves tonight at 8 pm, but since this is so sudden, I'll let you think about it." Usagi gave her mother a hug. A long trip away from Tokyo could do her some good.

"Arigatou Ikuko-mama!" Usagi cried. She ran out of the hosue as fast as she could go in the direction of the Hikawa Shrine.

Excited, Usagi skidded to a stop outside of Rei's room. She was just about to charge right in with the news, but she heard voices. Voices she knew very well.

"I have to admit, she's gotten a little better, but Usagi's still a whiny baby, and she doesn't deserve to be leader!" Hino Rei cried out. A resounding slap was heard by all in attendance.

"You have no right to say that about our Princess!" Kino Makoto yelled. Serena winced. Mako-chan must've been really fired up to slap Rei like that.

"I must admit, she has been getting better, but I agree with Rei," Mizuno Ami said in a quiet voice. Usagi shuddered. Ami was probably pressured by Rei to say that, but it still hurt her.

"As leader, I am forced to agree with Rei," Aino Minako said. "Usagi's been improving, but not enough. These most recent attacks have her always late, and with us fighting for our lives."

"She is too immature and is always late," Mamo-ch. no, Mamoru-san said. Usagi felt her heart rip apart and flutter into little pieces in her chest. She would've cried, but she would've been heard by the others.

"The majority has ruled," Luna said. Luna was Usagi's cat, and the one who had given Usagi the great powers to become Sailor Moon, a champion against the dark forces who reared their heads. "Usagi will be asked to relinquish her leadership role in the Senshi."

This broke Usagi. Here she was, ready to tell all of them her news, that she wouldn't even go to the U.S. because of them, but this was the final straw.

"Is that how you feel about me?" Usagi sobbed, nearly tearing the door off its hinges. All four of the Inner Senshi and the feline Guardian turned in shock. They just stared, open-mouthed. Usagi ignored their looks and ripped off her communicator. Her power flared up, revealing her crescent moon insignia. The energy that she normally used to conceal her silver- streaked blond hair faded in the power explosion, stunning everyone, especially Luna. To Luna, Usagi looked so much like her mother, Queen Serenity of the Silver Millennium. She tried to say something, but no words could come to her.

"Take it!" Usagi yelled, throwing her communicator to the ground. The icy glare she gave each person, save Mako-chan, was enough to both silence them and freeze them in their places. "I hereby quit the Sailor Senshi!" She turned on her heel to leave, but turned back, fury over her normally placid face. "I'm keeping the Ginzuishou, because it's mine by birthright in the first place. Goodbye!!" With that, she tore out of there, ready to tell Ikuko her decision.

Rei just hmphed.

"Hmph, it's not like we needed her anyway," Rei said haughtily. "We do perfectly fine without Odango-atama." Makoto shot a venomous glance at Rei before running after

Oh how little does she know.

Setsuna was amused. She never believed that her Queen, in this era, was so strong-willed, willing to give up everything she knew and cherished. But she had nothing to fear, for the streams would join up in the end in the peaceful 30th Century Crystal Tokyo. And so, Setsuna continued her vigil.

The Tokyo skyline had disappeared long ago, but Usagi didn't miss it. All it held was painful memories, broken relationships. Her mind drifted to her final hours in Tokyo, throwing what little clothes she could into a duffel bag to bring to the United States. Mako-chan was trying to plead with her not to leave. Luna tried as well.

"Usagi, we need you as the leader of the Senshi!" Makoto cried. "The others will come around eventually! What happened that made you go like this?" Usagi said nothing, only continued to stuff her clothing in her carry-on even faster.

"Usagi!" Luna's voice called to her desperately. "You are not worthless!" Usagi's pace slowed as she turned to Luna.

"You let them do this to me," Usagi said venomously at Luna. "I have nothing else here. My eternal lover has rejected me, and so has nearly all of my friends of the past and my present. You should be happy, Luna. No more pathetic Usagi struggling with her grades, no more late mornings." Luna was knocked speechless. Usagi was doing this because of her and the others? She could only watch as Makoto begged at Usagi's feet, literally.

"Onegai Usagi!" Makoto pleaded. "Don't leave us all! Serenity-hime."

"You are the only one with the right to call me that now, Mako-chan."

"Onegai! If you are dead set on this, just please, give me some way to contact you!"

Usagi considered this. She took a scrap of paper on the ground and a pen from her carry-on.

".Fine then, Mako-chan. Call me at this number. If you get the machine, leave a message. But if I receive any calls from the others, I swear, I will never speak to you again." Usagi's hair shimmered and became silver streaked as before at the Hikawa shrine.

"Hai, Sere-hime," Makoto said, bowing. Usagi suddenly jumped and gave Makoto a big hug.

"I'll miss you, Mako-chan," Usagi said quietly. "Sayonara."

"Sayonara. Mamo-ch. iie, Mamoru-san."

Peculiar, Setsuna thought. Because at this time, Haruka and Michiru are living in California. This timeline is more interesting than I thought.
