Ice Age Cometh


Naru stared down at the Indian snow on the sidewalk. It had been snowing for several days now with no end in sight. She sighed, switched her purse to the other shoulder, and walked with leaden steps in the white out toward her best friend's house. Today was the 3rd anniversary of that day. Usagi always knew how to cheer her up.

Her footsteps led her to the Efiji Gardens, a large park exhibiting all of the different plant life of the Japanese Islands. She winced slightly at the time she had climbed Diteri's Stair in her sandals to get a few pictures of the autumn leaves. Going up had been easy; going down-that was another story.

They had come here often to contemplate the stars. He had been quite the astronomer-and astrologer.

She seriously had to stop thinking about him.

Him.

Nephrite.

Sailor Moon.

Lately, snow had been falling over the whole planet. Another ice age had come, the meteorologists reported.

Naru sat down on a bench and closed her eyes. Just for a moment.

While she and the rest of the world slept; a new millennium dawned.

The Crystal Millennium.

The Reign of Serenity had begun.
