Here it is! I've been thinking about doing this fanfic for a long time, but I never really had the (guts? inspiration?) to start. Well here's the beginning. Okay. let's get some stuff outta the way. ^^

First, I'd like to point out that, while I did not change the main story line of the original series for this fic, I did change some imporatnt things for some of the characters. I actually changed (added?) quite a bit for Minako. She's a very central figure for t his fic, and what I changed is also very important to it. Also, I added a very important legend to the Silver Millenium. A few more things might be changed, but Meh.

Any warnings that I'll have in the fic I'll put at the beginning of the chapter.

The way that Minako interacts with certain people may seem werid for a while, but like I said, I changed some stuff for her and it will all be explained in due time.

So, the couples. Many of them are Cannon, but I changed a few of them up a bit. My main couple for this fic is actually Minako X Seiya. It's kinda a strange concept, even to me, but there is like, none about those two, and I realised that they would probably be super cute. I generally ship Yaten and Minako, so there will be times wrtiting this where I'm gonna be like "But yaten and Mina!" but I'm actually super excited about these two together. There will be one or two other non-cannon pairings, so yeah.

Also, this takes place the summer right after they graduate, so there's that.

I LOVE creative critisism, but I HATE people being jerks, keep that in mind.

And Finally: I don't own Sailor Moon or any of the characters, just the plot of this fic.

Enjoy!


"Excuse me?" Rei seethed, her face scrunched in distaste.

"You heard me. I think you've gotten a little more plump. You should try dieting." Usagi huffed. Both girls knew that is was a lie, and that Usagi was only saying that because they were arguing and she didn't really have anything else to say. Still, with how much effort Rei put into her appearence, it was quite offensive, and, in her mind, unexcusable. Before she could reply, she was cut off by a quite stern voice.

"Usagi, you shouldn't lie like that," Mamoru said, "Remember that Rei is your friend." Usagi pouted, while Rei smiled victoriously.

"Rei-Chan! That means you too!" Minako, who always wore her hair in a pony tail now, added quickly.

"Me? I didn't even say anything offensive!" She defended. The others looked at her with raised eyebrows. "what?" Rei asked, annoyed.

"Rei-chan, you said she sucked at playing video games- which is, of course, completely untrue-" Makoto started, stuttering when Usagi glared at her, "That's probably the meanest thing you could say to her!" Rei sighed, and looked down.

"You're right, as usual," She glared at Mako playfully, "Sorry, Usagi."

"Me too, I didn't mean it." Usagi replied, looking guilty. "I don't even remember what we were fighting about anymore." Rei thought hard, but couldn't seem to remember either. Ami giggled.

"What is it, Ami-chan?" Usagi asked.

"You guys were fighting over who would look best in that dress over there," She pointed into one of the many nice-looking stores surrounding them, "but it looks like neither of you won, I think it's just perfect on her."

The girls followed her line of sight, and were forced to agree when they saw Michiru in the lovely carribbean blue dress that had caught their attention. Minako gasped.

"Michiru-chan! You look so pretty!" She yelled over the crowd of people. Both Michiru and Haruka looked over, and Haruka walked over while Michiru went back into the shop.

"She said thank you." Haruka stated.

"Where did she go?" Ami asked. Haruka looked back at the store.

"To get changed and to pay. Seriously , she took forever deciding weather she wanted it. I'm so glad you said something, Minako. If you hadn't, we'd of probably been there for at least another 30 minutes." Haruka said, miserably, completely unaware of her partner standing right behind her.

"Yes, thank you, Minako-chan. Im sure however, that you, at least, understand exactly why I take so long deciding on my cloths, unlike someone I know." Michiru said, slowly, and Haruka froze. Then she laughed nervously,

"Michiru, don't you think that maybe you take a little long to-" Haruka was cut off.
"Of course." Michiru said too sweetly, and began walking. Haruka began to follow, but Minako caught the tall women's arm.

"She only wants to impress you. Don't worry, just tell her later today that you thought the dress looked absolutely magnificent on her, and she'll forgive you right away." Minako smirked. Haruka sighed,

"Thanks Mina, I know. I just need to learn to keep my mouth shut." Haruka said, only slightly dejectedly. Minako smiled, and Rei piped up.

"Yes, that would be preferable." She laughed as Haruka glared at her. "I was only kidding, Michiru-san adores you, and your imput is the most important to her. Just remember that when you open your mouth."

"I...see." Said Haruka, slowely, "Thanks." She ran after Michiru after that. Rei turned around to see Usagi smirking at her.

"Oh, what now?" She asked crossly.

"Does Yuuichiro-kun's oppionion matter the most to Rei-chan as well?" Usagi asked slyly, her smirk becoming a grin that covered her entire face. Rei looked slitghtly surpirised.

"Of course it does." She said simply, "Doesn't mamouru's matter the most to you?" She asked as if it were obvious. Which it was.

"Oh.." Usagi said with some thought. "Yeah. It definately does." Her grin changed to a serene smile as she reached up to peck Mamoru's lips. Ami suddenly thought of something.

"Oh yeah, Mina, Usagi-chan, Mamoru-kun, where are the cats?" She asked.

The three passed a knowing glance. "They decided to stay home and 'spend some time together.'" Usagi said, using her hands to form air quotations. Mako grinned.

"Did they now?" She said suggestively.

"Oh?" Minako started, "And what of you, 'spending time 'with Motoki?" Mako looked at her grumpily for a minute, before smiling,

"Touche." She conceded. Ami just giggled through all of it.

A strong gust of wind came by, knocking a trash can near them down, and suddenly, like electricity, each of them felt a wave of darkness overcome them, but as soon as it was there, it was gone.

They all looked at each other wearily, and Rei groaned. "Here we go again." She said miserably.


Later that night, as they were sleeping, they all had the same dream. They dreamt of past battles, past friends and enemies alike dying, and finally, the friends that they still had dying, one by one, all of them, including the starlights.

Rei woke up and screamed, and Yuuichiro jolted awake beside her. "Rei? Rei? Love, what's wrong?" He took her hand, worried as tears streamed down her face. She threw her head in his chest, "Don't die! Don't leave me! You can't! I won't let it happen!" She sobbed into his chest.

"Hey, hey, calm down. It's okay. I don't know what's going on, but I don't plan on leaving you. Ever. Nothing can take me from your side. I promise. She nodded, but continued to cry.


Minako, who was now living with Mamoru and Usagi, due to certain happenings, woke up calmly, sat up, and walked to the other residents of the house's room, guessing that they'd had the same dream. Walking up to the door, she heard Usagi crying, and confirmed her suspicions. She knocked on the door, and Mamoru told her to come in.

She opened the door slowely, and walked into the room. As she shut the door and turned to face them, mamoru spoke up. "You had it too?" he asked, worried. Mina only nodded her head.

She walked up to Usagi and said "we'll save them, you know. All of them. I'm not about to let another one of my dear friends die. Absolutely not. " She said with enough confidence to calm Usagi down.

Slowely, the tears subsided, and she looked up at two people who were very important to her. "We'd better call the others, huh?" She said, and Mamoru nodded. Artemis, who had followed her into the room, looked up at Minako, "Mina, go get dressed, I think we should meet up at the temple." He said softly, knowing that the vision had hurt Minako probably deeper than it had hurt any of the others, as she'd lost more people. After all, she was Sailor V for a long time before she became Sailor Venus, adn he'd been with her the whole time.

Minako nodded and walked softly back to her room, not letting one tear that was warring with her to escape down her cheek go. It wasn't going to happen. She wasn't going to let it. She couldn't lose anyone else right now. It would be the end of her.

Soon enough, all of the senshi, plus Yuuichiro and Motoki- who Mako had called after she's had the vision- Were sitting in Rei's living room, to caught uo in their thoughts to talk. Ami sighed, "Alright, enough being depressed," She said strongly, looking everyone in the eye one by one, what are we gonna do?"
