Welcome to the Grand Experiment.
I've never written a multi-part Sailor Moon fic before…well, there was ONE, but let's not dredge up ancient history. Just take my word that it was dub-based and not-too-hot. I was fourteen, it's excusable. ^_~
Disclaimer: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon is in no way, shape, or form mine. Sigh. All the song lyrics are from the enviously-wonderful "Moulin Rouge" unless otherwise stated.
And special thanks, moo-cha-chas, and chocolate covered bishies go out to AngelAnne for both her "YOU ARE GOING TO FINISH THIS!!!!!!"es as well as the snippy she sent me. (you kiddies will love it, once I get to where I can work it in) You rahk big-time, Angel-chan! ^________^ *V*
Reviews are always appreciated. ^_^

"This story is about love.
The woman I loved is...dead."
~"Nature Boy"
~*~Crystal Tokyo, post-Black Moon Riots~*~
The Funeral Chamber was the one room of Crystal Palace that no one had ever thought they would ever be forced to use. After all, the Palace residents were under the protection of the ginzuishou. The crystal would protect them all, keep them forever young and beautiful, give them ever-lasting life…
This would all be under the assumption that no one ~lost~ the ginzuishou.
But surely, no one could be so irresponsible and naïve that they would lose the crystal of the Moon! Not even a former odango atama could be quite that stupid.
Uranus gazed at the mass of Sailor fukus gathered in the room. Everyone was here: Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Venus, herself…Haruka was even sure she had glimpsed some skimpy vinyl fuku, which would betray a visit from the Starlights. The only one missing from the assembly was Pluto, but then again, Pluto was on duty. Pluto was always on duty.
And she was forbidden to see Pluto.
Saturn was also missing. But Saturn was still in a coma as a result of her failed healing trance.
A few of the senshi, most notably Jupiter and Mars, had tried to converse with her, to give her their sympathies. But Uranus was lost to the world. The assembly all figured that she was with the soldier in the quartz tomb, or at the very least, in the Medical Wing with her surrogate daughter.
They couldn't have been more wrong.
Uranus glared at the pristine queen.
Serenity had lost the ginzuishou.
The one time Uranus had ~ever~ wanted Serenity to appear, pigtails flying, ginzuishou shining, she hadn't come.
And it had cost Uranus everything.
She could not forgive the Queen. Uranus didn't care anymore if it was her destiny to protect Serenity, or that her duty as a soldier dictated her life as that belonging to her Queen. She had lost. Uranus hated to lose, especially to someone weaker than herself.
Without a word, Uranus turned and headed for the Funeral Chamber's exit. She couldn't stay. She wouldn't stay in the same room with the same person whose irresponsibility and complete stupidity had killed the sole person Uranus had ever dared to love.
"I hate you, Serenity," Uranus whispered under her breath, "I hate you."
