The Moon and The Stars

Chapter 1

*Disclaimer - I do not own any characters of Sailor Moon -- Naoko Takeuchi does.

* I'm warning you twice. This is a Seiya/Usagi fic. If you do not like the idea of this, do not read my story. I do NOT want any reviews telling me to put Mamoru and Usagi back together.

*This is my first try at writing a fan fiction. I promise that I'll get better with practice

*Setting - One year after Sailor Moon Stars



Usagi looked out her window and sighed. What had gotten into her? Didn't she love Mamoru? But ever since Seiya. At the time, she was too upset over the fact of no Mamoru around to take any notice of him. But now that he was gone, she was finding that she missed Seiya more than anything. Mamoru was okay, but after meeting Seiya, he became a bit boring. She started noticing all these things that she didn't like about Mamoru. How could he have left her like that to go to America? He should have known that she was still vulnerable, and needed his protection. Seiya would never leave her-- that at least, she was sure of. "Actually", said Usagi to the window "I don't know how I made it through the year. It's been horrible with Mamo-chan, all we seem to do now is bicker." 'Yes you do', she thought, 'Chibi-Usa. You couldn't stand it if she wasn't born.' Usagi sighed again and lay down on her bed to sleep.

Mamoru closed his book. Usako was on his mind. Ever since that fight with Galaxia, she had changed. Or maybe he had changed. All he knew was that she wasn't the sweet Usagi he'd known when he'd first met her. Now, there were times he found her a whiny, noisy, crybaby, unable to care for herself. He especially disliked the fact that she had told him not to go off to college again, when he brought it up, because she needed him to protect her. 'If I feel this way, why don't I just break up with her?' he thought. The reason came to him at once. 'Chibi-Usa. Of course, I couldn't stand it if my future daughter didn't exist'. Mamoru sighed, sat back down on the couch, picked up his book, and started reading again.

Far away, Fighter looked up at the starry sky and sighed. "Where are you now, Odango?" she said, "are you happy with Mamoru?" "Fighter?" a voice called, "The princess wishes to talk to you." "Arigato, Healer. I'm coming" Fighter called back. Fighter ran back up to Kinmoku palace, back to her princess, back to the one she's supposed to care for most of all.

Usagi met Mamoru early in the park the next day. She had made up her mind. No matter what happened, she was going to break up with Mamo-chan today. "Hello, Usako." That was Mamoru's usual greeting. Usagi usually loved the way he said it, but today she found it annoying. "Mamoru-kun." she began. Mamoru's head snapped up at once. Usagi always called him Mamo- chan, always. Something was wrong. "Mamoru-kun." she said again, "I've been thinking. Lately, I've noticed you seemed to have changed. Or, maybe I changed. I don't know." her voice trailed off. 'Usagi, you have to do this,' she thought, 'I must go on.' "Well, I'm not happy with you anymore. Not as happy as I used to be. I. I think it would be best if... if we. broke up." Usagi looked at the ground.

Mamoru couldn't believe it. He'd come to the park that morning, planning on breaking up with Usagi, and before he got a chance to, Usagi had broken up with him! 'She's stronger than I thought she was,' he thought. "Usako. I mean, Usagi-san." he stopped, then started again, "Gomen ne, demo, to tell you the truth, I came here today to break up with you. As you know, I'm going back to college soon (not back to Harvard, they wouldn't accept him again after he didn't turn up last time *_*;;), and I felt that I should leave my options open and meet new people. After these past few years I've lost most of my friends, because of my duty." Usagi looked up, with a troubled smile on her face. "I am so glad to hear you say that," she said. "Sayonara Mamoru-kun." "Sayonara Usagi-san"

In the 30th century, a little pink-haired girl ran around Crystal Tokyo's palace. "Puu!" she called. "Where are you?" Sailor Pluto appeared instantly. "Small Lady, come with me," said Pluto. Chibi-Usa grabbed Pluto's hand, and they disappeared.

"Puu, what happened? I was having tea with Mama and Papa, and all of a sudden they both disappeared, I called for them and they never answered. Then I tried calling for Luna, Artemis, and Diana, but none of them answered either. Finally, I decided to look for you, but the time/space door wasn't there. So then I started calling for you and you came and. Puu, what happened?" said Chibi-Usa. "Shh, calm down Small Lady. Your timeline has been changed. Usagi and Mamoru broke up in the past," said Pluto. "Do you mean I don't exist anymore? This is all Usagi's fault, isn't it? She drove Mamoru away. Baka Usagi! Baka, baka, baka!" yelled Chibi-Usa. "Small Lady!" Pluto said very sharply, "You are not to be blaming your mother for this. It was an agreement between them both. If it wasn't for you, they would have broken up months ago." She continued in a softer tone, "You still do exist, Small Lady, because Usagi still exists. You will have a different father, and some of your features will be different, demo, you still exist." "Demo, demo, I don't want a different papa! I want Mamo-chan!" protested Chibi-Usa. "Small Lady, please calm down! You'll wake the whole house with all the noise you're making." Said Pluto. Chibi-Usa sighed. Then she looked around. This room seemed oddly familiar. it was dark, with lamps of all kinds sitting everywhere. "Puu," she started, "Why are we in Hotaru-chan's room? Tomoe-sama doesn't know about the Sailor Senshi." Pluto replied, "We are not at Hotaru's house. This is Hotaru's old room, from when she was living with Haruka, Michiru, and I. Haruka and Michiru are upstairs, sleeping. You need to stay in here and get some rest. You need to let your body and your mind readjust to this new reality."

"Fighter," began Princess Kakyuu, "Fighter, I need you to go back to Earth." Fighter's head snapped up at once. "Why, princess?" asked Fighter. "Because I want you to deliver this message to Princess Serenity and the other senshi of Earth," answered Kakyuu. "Demo, if I may princess, what message are you sending?" questioned Fighter. " I would like them to come for a visit to Kinmoku Palace, and watch my marriage and coronation to Keitaro," explained Kakyuu. "Demo, can't you send Healer or Maker instead?" asked Fighter. "Why? Do you have a problem with going back to Earth?" said the princess. 'Yes,' Fighter thought, 'I don't think I could bear seeing Odango and Mamoru-kun together.' Demo, she couldn't tell the princess that. She bit her lip and said, "Hai, Kakyuu-hime. I will leave for Earth at once."

Chibi-Usa was in Hotaru's room, thinking. Setsuna had told the others that Chibi-Usa was in this room, but not to disturb her, because Chibi-Usa still had stuff to work out with in her brain. Although many changes had been made to her body, she was still unmistakably Chibi-Usa. She was about two inches taller than before, and her hair was a shade darker in pink. It still wasn't as dark as Chibi-Chibi's hair was. Her eyes were not as big as before, but they weren't small like Haruka's. She still had those red eyes, too. Those were her only noticeable differences. She had different memories, far better then her old 'memories' of her mother and father. (*She didn't know this, because she could not possibly remember about a time that never happened, but I felt this was something I had to point out*) Chibi-Usa just sat in the room wondering about how she ended up here instead of her room at home. Setsuna knocked on the door. "Come in," mumbled Chibi-Usa. "Small Lady, I have come to take you back to your home. Gomen ne, demo I can't explain anything right now. Demo, you can count on a visit to the 20th century soon." Said Setsuna. And with that, Setsuna transformed into Sailor Pluto and took the confused girl home.

Usagi was depressed. She was not sorry that she had broken up with Mamoru, but since the break-up she had felt terribly alone. She was also worried about Chibi-Usa. What had happened to her? 'Demo,' she thought, 'I can't sit and brood on this subject. I have to meet everyone at Rei- chan's place.' Usagi got up and walked to her closet, chose something to wear, changed, and walked out to meet Rei-chan and the others.

Rei, Ami, Makoto, and Minako were all at Hikawa Shrine. They were waiting for Usagi to show up. Rei looked at her watch. "She's la-," Rei began, but at that same moment Usagi had walked through the door. "Minna!" she yelled, "I'm here!" "You were one second off from being declared 'late', Usagi-chan. " Well, one second is one second. I wasn't late!" responded Usagi. "Rei-chan, why did you ask us here in the first place?" asked Ami. "Well, while I was sleeping last night, I got a premonition. One of the Starlights is coming back to Earth, but I'm not sure which one." Said Rei. Usagi had perked up when she heard the word 'starlight' but was disappointed when she heard Rei say she didn't know which one. Suddenly, Setsuna, Hotaru, Haruka, and Michiru burst through the door. They all noticed that Michiru was holding her mirror. "Today," Michiru said, "A Starlight is coming today." "Michiru, do you know which one?" asked Usagi. Everyone could tell by the look in Usagi's eyes that Usagi hoped it would be Fighter. "Well," began Haruka, with a glint in her eyes, "We can see a tall, black-haired person, with blue eyes." Usagi was so excited, that she accidentally spilled her tea all over her shirt. "Usagi!!!" Everyone groaned. "Here," said Rei, pulling a shirt out of her drawers and tossing it toward Usagi. "Arigato, Rei-chan," said Usagi, and left for the bathroom, to change her shirt, and soak her wet one in the sink (so it doesn't stain, of course!).

As Fighter dashed towards Earth, she thought 'I do hope Rei-san received my message. I sent it with all my might. Please let at least one of the senshi be there when I arrive.'

After Usagi left, the rest of the girls sat around and debated what to do. They didn't have to wait long, because soon after Usagi left, Fighter materialized out of thin air, right in front of the girls. "Fighter!" Minako exclaimed, "Don't do that, you scared me half to death!" "Gomen" Fighter said. She then detransformed into Seiya. Seiya looked around for Usagi, but when he noticed she wasn't there, his face fell. 'Probably out on a date with Mamoru,' he thought glumly. Usagi was just coming back from the bathroom when she saw Seiya. She decided to sneak up behind him and scare him. Usagi tiptoed behind Seiya, warning the other girls to be quiet by putting her finger to her lips. Then, she threw her arms around him and yelled "Seiya!" Seiya jumped, but turned around and smiled. "Odango!" he said, "It's so great to see you again. When I saw you weren't here, I thought you were out with Mamoru-kun." Usagi flinched. "Did I say something wrong?" asked Seiya. "Mamoru-kun and I broke up almost a week ago," she said. "Gomen ne, Odango. I didn't know," said Seiya. "Daijoubu, I was the one who broke up with him." Said Usagi. Seiya knew that he should feel sorry for Usagi, but he couldn't help feeling a million times better. "So, does that mean I have a chance with you now?" he whispered in her ear. Usagi blushed and looked away. "I hate to break up this little reunion," Haruka said suddenly, "but we need to know why you're hear." "Of course." Said Seiya, straightening up. He took a step back and looked at Usagi. In a very official voice, he said, "On behalf of Princess Kakyuu of the Kinmoku system, I am here to invite the Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom and her guardian senshi to the Kinmoku palace to attend Princess Kakyuu's wedding and coronation ceremony."

Usagi looked delighted. Haruka did not. "You can't ask our princess to leave her solar system to attend a wedding," she said. Seiya replied, "This invitation is from Princess Kakyuu to Princess Serenity. Not to Tenoh Haruka or Sailor Uranus." Usagi said, "Of course I'll go. Minna, do you want to go, or would you prefer to stay here?" Everyone agreed to go except Haruka. Haruka finally grumbled that she'd go, just to protect their princess. Seeing that everyone was going, Setsuna decided to stay and protect Earth, just in case any enemies happened to show up. If that happens she would use the time/space key to travel to Kinmoku and bring the Senshi home to fight. "We'll have to use 'Sailor Teleport' to get to Kinmoku" said Ami. "Minna, henshin!" said Usagi. "Mercury Crystal Power." "Mars Crystal Power." "Jupiter Crystal Power." "Venus Crystal Power." "Uranus Planet Power." "Neptune Planet Power." "Saturn Planet Power." "Moon Eternal." "MAKE UP!!" "Fighter Star Power. Make UP!" Everyone transformed. Usagi went directly from Sailor Moon to Princess Serenity. "I want to look my best when we arrive on your planet," she said to Fighter. "SAILOR TELEPORT," the senshi yelled. With a flash they had disappeared.
