AN: Hey, hey! It's me again with another fic! Sailor Moon does not belong to me in any way, shape, or form. I am just a fan. That goes for Evanescence too. Enough from me, onto the story!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Playground school bell rings again. Rain clouds come to play again.*

A bell could be heard ringing throughout Crystal Tokyo. People stopped dead in their tracks and looked to the Crystal Palace. Both sadness and concern etched in their faces. They knew what that bell meant…

The senshi all gathered to the palace as quickly as they could. They searched around the room, seeing who was missing. As they realized whom it was they were missing, they each lowered their heads, trying to be strong. They, along with everyone else, knew what that bell meant…It signaled….the death of a senshi…

*Has no one told you she's not breathing? Hello. I am your mind giving you someone to talk to. Hello.*

"Hotaru-chan!" Chibiusa yelled suddenly. The senshi all turned to look at the young princess.

Chibiusa looked around the room, not wanting to believe it was Saturn that wasn't there.

"Small Lady." Neo Queen Serenity said softly.

Chibiusa turned to her mother, "Where's Hotaru-chan? Where is she?"

Serenity put her hand on Chibiusa's shoulder, "Small Lady…what happened to Saturn-"

Suddenly, Chibiusa pushed past her mother. She had caught sight of Saturn lying in the next room.

*If I smile and don't believe, soon I know I'll wake from this dream.*

Chibiusa ran into the room where Saturn was lying. Saturn's eyes were closed, her hands rested lightly across her stomach. She was covered in cuts and scratches. Her fuku was torn in several places. It was obvious she had been through a lot.

Chibiusa looked at Saturn, tears welling up in her eyes, "Hotaru-chan…Hotaru-chan, get up…" She shook her head, "This isn't real. Y-you're all playing some sort of cruel joke. This can't be happening. Tell me it isn't real!" Her shoulders began to tremble as the tears began rolling down her face.

Then, although she was crying, she laughed. It wasn't a happy laugh; it was a forced one, full of sadness. "I-I get it now….This is a-all a dream. That's all…I-I'll wake up a…and everything will be o-okay…This is a dream…I-it has to be!"

*Don't try to fix me I'm not broken.*

Chibiusa felt hands on her shoulders. Then she heard the soft voice of her mother again.

"Saturn did what she had to in order to protect this Kingdom. She used her powers, therefore she died as well….We will all miss her dearly…but there's nothing we can do."

Chibiusa pulled out of her mother's hold, and then turned to look at her. Her crimson eyes were filled with tears, yet a bit of anger shown through as well, "Stop it! Stop talking to me like I'm still a child! She didn't have to die! I-I know she didn't have to! Puu's stopped time before and she's still here! Even you and I have used the Silver Crystal. We should've died after using it and you know it! I know there's a way around it, so why? Why did she have to die?"

*Hello, I am the lie living for you so you can hide. Don't cry.*

"Why was it, that she had to die? No one else has, even if they've used their so-called forbidden powers! You think that just because I'm here, means you won't die in the past! The future isn't set in stone! You could die in the past but you haven't!" Chibiusa continued. "You use me as an excuse…That way no one will ever question why you're still alive even after using the Crystal so many times!"

"Princess!" A couple of the senshi said in surprise at her outburst.

Serenity stood quietly, as she listened to her daughter.

Chibiusa sank to her knees, burying her face in her hands as she continued to cry. Serenity kneeled down and put her arms around Chibiusa. The young queen stroked her daughter's hair as she held her tightly, whispering softly that everything would be ok.

*Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping. Hello, I'm still here, all that's left of yesterday.*

"Why? Why?" Chibiusa repeated the same word over and over.

"I'm sorry…" Was all Serenity could say.

"How?….When?….Why?…." Chibiusa asked between sobs. "J-just yesterday we were t-talking about my m-marriage with Elios. H-Hotaru-chan was going t-to be there. S-so why?"

"I don't know, Small Lady….I don't know…" Serenity replied quietly.

~*~

A few days later, they held a beautiful service in honor of Saturn. Each of the remaining senshi spoke of her and told of their fondest memories. They each remained strong, although Neptune had to cut hers short after she began to cry. Even after these years, she still considered her as a daughter. But it was Chibiusa who spoke the best and longest about her best friend.

AN: Wow. I absolutely cannot believe I wrote that! I had my favorite senshi die! Well….I think this story is way off from my other ones. I heard this song by Evanescence and immediately this songfic was created in my mind. The song is called "Hello" If you haven't heard the song, I suggest you do. That's all from me for now. Please review. Until next time! Ja ne!
