Note: Goku is alive. And as much as I wish I did I don't own the Dragon Ball Z characters or Sailor Moon. Such is life. After all I'm just a poor girl who most likely won't make it out of high school. Ah, such is life. One ore thing I've never written as Sailor Moon/Dragon Ball Z cross over. So, please, don't be overly cruel.

Serenity

(for lack of a better title)

Chapter One

The Z Warriors had gathered for their weekly luncheon at Capsule Corporation. The day had begun beautifully. A majestic sunrise. Birds singing happily as a gentile wind played through the trees. Indeed, it was beautiful.

As the friends sat down a dark portal opened at the end of their table. From it a cold wind rushed past them all. Followed by a tall woman. She had dark hair that glinted green and wore a sailor fuku. "Greeting." She called quietly. "I am Sailor Pluto, Guardian of the Time Gates."

"What do you want here?" Asked Goku slightly suspicious.

"Fear me not warriors. I come in peace." Was her only reply.

"That doesn't answer my question." Goku rose to find himself at the same height as the woman.

"As the Gate Guardian I am not allowed to tell you. But I will ask a favor of you." The portal behind her closed and a tall staff appeared in her hand. It looked to be a key with a floating heart at its head. In its center, a crimson globe was placed. Around her waist a chain of keys appeared. They ranged from different sizes to style to century.

"You crash our party then ask for favors?" Chi-chi angrily stood with her hands on her hips. "Thing don't work that way."

Sailor Pluto nodded once before setting her staff to lean against the table. The air above her rippled and shimmered as an unconscious woman appeared. She fell from the air into Sailor Pluto's waiting arms. Gently she placed her on the ground. "Then I ask that when my Lady wakes you will tell her I will have a place arranged for her. All she need do is contact me." A silver key much like her staff glowed on the chain around her waist. It lifted off and dissipeared reappearing in her hand. A silver ribbon wove through the air and onto the key. Carefully so not to wake her Sailor Pluto tied it around her neck. "Mention my name and she will know you speak truth." Turning from them another portal opened.

Before she could leave Bulma and Chi-chi called for her to wait. "Stop." Bulma cried. "Who is she?"

"She is Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom and Silver Alliance." Sailor Pluto announced turning again to them. "Future Queen of the Earth and Guardian of all space." At their shocked face's she smiled. "Will there be any more questions? I mustn't be away from the Gates of Time too long."

"SAILOR PLUTO!?!?" Shouted the Supreme Ki as he landed beside her. "What are you doing here?"

She smiled kindly at him. "Hello Supreme Ki. I'm just dropping of the Princess."

"Serenity, here?" Supreme Ki asked. "Why?"

"The Sailors have committed the worst of offenses. They have finally cast her out and now seek the Imperial Silver Crystal from her. I could not allow this. So when she came to me seeking solace I brought here." The Supreme Ki nodded in understanding. "They did not know she had reached a power beyond their imagination or understanding. I feared for her." Sailor Pluto looked to Serenity who lay unmoving on the ground. Bulma and Chi-chi hovering above her. "My princess is looking for the things she would not find in her own world. Love, family, trust. Things every person looks for in their life. So I have brought her here. In this world, she will find these things. In this world, she will finally be happy. Please be kind to her." Stepping backward she dissipeared into a portal.

Not to long after Sailor Pluto disappeared did Serenity stir. "Oh, my head." A quiet voice alerted them to her awareness. Rising into a sitting position Serenity opened her eyes to find herself surrounded. "Oh my." She whispered looking around herself. Both the Son and Briefs family had her surrounded. "Hello?" She said nervously.

"Hello indeed Serenity." Called a very familiar voice to her right.

Serenity turned to see the smiling face of the Supreme Ki. "Shin!" A bright smile graced her full lips. All the Z warriors gazed at her in wander. Serenity's hair was that of spun gold with a tint of silver when the light hit it at certain angles. It hung loose and pooled around her in a river of gold. Her eyes were the most clear crystal blue they had every seen. And her voice. Oh, her voice was like silk. Soft, smooth, and gentle. She enunciated each word perfectly and regally. One could not have missed any thing she said if they tried. She wore simple jean capree pants showing of her perfect cafes. And a short sleeved, V-neck, black shirt that read: 90% Devil.

"Who's the pretty lady?" Asked Goten.

Serenity looked to the eight-year-old curiously. He had dark ebony eyes and hair that stuck up in every direction, defying gravity. Along with an orange GI. "My name is Serenity. May I ask yours?" He looked at her another moment before nodding.

"I'm Goten." He said quietly.

"And I'm Trunks." Trunks announced from beside him. He was not about to let Goten get all the pretty girls attention. He was dressed in his usual blue GI.

"Such cute children." As soon as the words left, her mouth Serenity regretted them. Her eyes filled with unshed tears. Her bottom lip quivered as her breathing hitched.

The Supreme Ki put a hand on her shoulder gently rubbing it. "Serenity what's wrong." Never before had he seen her so distressed.

"Oh Shin." Sobbed Serenity into his shirt. "She's gone. Rini is gone." Her slim shoulders violently as she clutched at his cloths. Shin held her larger form to him. He wasn't sure what she meant. But he did know of her daughter from the future. The young Princess Chibi Usa otherwise known as Rini. Sailor Pluto often spoke of her.

Placing his hand on her back, the Supreme Ki slowly entered her mind. At the moment, it was like a jungle. Her emotions were running rampant. One attacking the other. Soon, though, he found what he was looking for.

*** Enter Serenity's Mind ***

2: 45pm Central Park

Saturday June 22, 2002

Shin could feel as she felt. See as she saw. He was Serenity. They were one and the same. At the moment, they and Rini were having a picnic in Central park. The city had not been attacked for quiet some time. There was no need for the sailor scouts anymore. Life was slowly getting back to normal.

"Sere' do you think we could go for ice-cream on our way home?" Rini asked happily. She had begged her Mother in the future for three weeks to let her come back to the past. Finally she agreed and now Rini was able to visit every other month. For as long as the others wanted her.

"Sure Rini." Serenity smiled gently at the young girl she had come to love as a real daughter. A moment later Serenity's wrist COM began to beep. "Sere' here what's up?" She asked cheerfully.

"Scout meeting, three o' clock, Rei's temple." With that, her COM went dark.

"Okay." Serenity said to no one. "Well Rini we should head back it's almost three." Rini nodded. The Sailor scouts had been acting rather strange for the past two weeks. Rini believed they were up to something.

"Okay." Dark clouds began to form over head as they stood. A heavy wind blew past them lifting Serenity's long braid into the air and whipping it around her. A portal opened near them. Its gravity began to pull Rini toward it. She reached out to take Serenity's hand. Frantically they tried to hold onto each other. The winds pushed against them, herding them toward the ominous portal. "Rini!" Serenity yelled as her grip began to loosen.

"Sere'!" Rini's eyes held panic as her small hands came loose of Serenity's. "Mommy!!" The portal closed once Rini passed through.

Serenity stood there, devastated. She did not know what to do or think. Rini was gone. Violently ripped away from her. Shock and loss was all she could feel. By the time she did begin to think, to get the Scouts. Nearly twenty minutes had past. So, she ran. Ran for all she was worth. By the time she did reach the temple. She was out of breath and confronted by four angry Scouts and one angry boyfriend.

"Were the hell have you been?" Demanded Rei once they were on they temple grounds. "We've been waiting half an hour!"

"I…" But her words were lost once they saw her puffy red eyes.

"Oh, let me guess you and Rini had another fight were you ran away crying again." Mamoru stated boldly. "You really should grow up Serenity. How will you ever be Queen if you can't even stand up to a child."

"How can you be our queen? You're such an idiot that you can't even keep up in school." Mocked Rei with her hands on her hips.

"Get out of here Serena, you don't belong with the us anymore, hell, you don't even belong with the scouts!" Shouted Minako with her voice rising each word.


Serenity had her head bowed down at their words. This was not the time be belittling her. It was time they needed to be searching the area for Rini. The interesting thing was that she didn't care. They didn't even know the real her that well. The only thing that kept her from yelling at them right now and screaming, was herself and they'd be really suprised at how well she could control herself. Better than any of them ever could.


"What is it Serena, too afraid to face us." Taunted Makoto," or do you want your Mamo-chan to help you?"

Mamoru snapped his finger before he began to speak. "That's right! I've been meaning to tell you. We're over. I found someone else. Someone worthy."


"There is really no possibility that you could be Queen Serenity. You can't even keep up in your studies and you're not even close to being as intelligent as the Princess, so how could you be Queen!" Said Amy in a calm yet stern voice.


Amy? How could Amy do this? I didn't know she had it in her, oh well, shows to know how much you know her. However, Rini's in trouble. We need to find her. Thought Serenity while she still had her head bowed, she was shocked to know that they could actually say that they hated her.

"We don't want to be your Guardians anymore!" Each Scout yelled in turn.


She turned to them she had enough of their mocking her flaws and using her own feelings against her. Now she would take no more. She was Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom, and Silver Alliance. Now they would get a taste of just what that means. They wished for her as she really was. As the princess, she was meant to be. Her voice drifted over to them calm and emotionless. It was the voice of a true princess, quiet, calm, precise, and most of all regal. "Your harsh words are cruel indeed, but they are no more than words whispered on the wind."

The silence that grew from her words was almost defining in the minds of those before her. The ones she had at one time called family. "The fact that you were my royal court and most loyal of friends. This hurts me. And yet, I find myself, not caring." The amused wander in her voice was clear to them all. They had wished for a princess. And now they would pay for it. "I knew that one day you would betray my trust and love by exiling me. And still I am not really hurt." A quiet humph reached their ears as Serenity spoke almost as if to herself than others. Serenity gave a slight shake of her head before gracefully turning from to them.

"I had a dream the other night." She announced. "A dream about a girl from a far away land. Were her most loved of friends turned from her. They said she was weak because she loved too many. And they joined with her enemy's against her." A small smile curved the corners of her lips. And she shook her head again as she spoke. "I do not know the end of this dream for I woke too soon. But I believed it to be a warning of what was to come." For a moment, her smile grew brighter as she looked back at them. Her eyes were soft and reflective. "I will admit it has been fun and I will miss you. I hope you live long and happy lives. I take my leave of you now. Farewell my friends." With these words, she left their group never to return to it. She would no longer be bound by destiny. Her future would not be set in stone until she chose for it to be. But right now, she chose for her life to be her own. And that was enough.

"And now to find Rini." She whispered once away from them. Serenity knew of only one person who could help them know. Sailor Pluto.

*** Exit Serenity's Mind ***

"Serenity, I'm so sorry." Whispered Shin as he rubbed her back. "Do you know what happened or why?"

She pulled from him whipping her eyes. "Yes, I do. Time is changing." At his confused expression she elaborated. "I know what you're thinking. And you're wrong. Time is not always changing. Sometimes it stands still. Sometimes it moves in one line instead of many. Our destiny was set in stone. Now it is not. Time and destiny are changing rapidly. They're ever shifting now. That is why Rini is gone." Looking down she felt another wave of pain and tears come and go. "When my destiny was with Mamoru, Rini existed. Now that it is not……"

"She is unable to." Shin finished

"I don't know what to do." Serenity cried. "Rini's gone. Time is changing. I can no longer help the scouts if something attacks Scout Earth." A bitter laugh escaped through her babbling. "You must find this very humorous Shin. I mean, you get to see, first hand, as I, the Head Guardian of the Universe, have a nervous breakdown." She cried the more she thought. Then there was silence as she stopped. "No," Serenity suddenly announced. "I will not loose her." Standing she began to pace. "I could go early and…." Shaking her head fiercely Serenity discarded the idea. "No, that won't work."

The Supreme Ki watched her. What is she up to? His mind wandered. He watched as she fell into a chair. Her legs swung over one of the arms, as she stared at the ceiling. Some where along the way her hair had fallen loose from its braid and now fell to the floor. She twirled a piece of it between her fingers as she thought.

"I know!" Serenity stood and regained her pacing. "If I time it just right. I can go back wait for the portal to open. Then just before Rini enters it I can snatch her. And before we cross dimensions. I can tie her to someone here." Turning she smiled at the Ki. "I am a genius."

"Yes you are." A voice echoed into the room. A childish laugh bounced after it. "And it's a good thing too."

"That's right. 'Cause if you weren't," A portal appeared for the third time that day. Only this time out jumped a little girl with pink hair pulled up into two high ponytails "I wouldn't be here." She grinned at the stunned faces of all those in the room.

Tears again filled Serenity's crystal blue eyes. "Rini…"
