Usagi Tsukino sat on the floor in what had been the bedroom of her parents, a small box in her lap. A box that her father had directed her to along with making her promise that she would make a trip to Gotham in America and look up one Bruce Wayne and that the box would explain why before he gave in to his battle with cancer. So there she was about to look through the box.
She opened the box and was greeted with a picture of herself when she was really little and a little boy with messy black hair and dark blue eyes. She smiled softly at the happy scene before setting the picture aside and looking through the box. More such pictures greeted her, followed by an article written by her father about a charity event accompanied by a picture of a couple. The caption under the picture referred to the couple as Thomas and Martha Wayne, noting they were the ones who hosted the event.
There were more pictures; some of her with the little boy, others of her parents with the Waynes, and even a couple that had her and her parents with the boy and his parents. At the bottom of the pile, she found another article about Thomas and Martha Wayne's murder in an alley while out with Bruce. Along with that article was a separate picture, presumably taken at the Waynes' funeral, of her and Bruce standing side by side holding hands, both children teary-eyed. It was this image that tied it all together for her as to why her father had made her promise to look up Bruce. It was obvious that she and Bruce had once been close friends as kids. She figured she might just try to at least bring that back if she managed to reconnect with Bruce. She repacked the box before standing up with it. She looked around one last time before heading out of the room and downstairs to join her bodyguards who were also some of her closest friends.
"Ready to go Koneko?" Haruka looked up from her spot on the couch next to Michiru, who also looked up. On the other side of Michiru sat young Hotaru. On a separate couch sat Setsuna. Next to her was Minako who looked up at Usagi with curiosity upon seeing the box that Usagi was holding.
Usagi nodded with a sad smile. "For now Haruka. I'll have to come back eventually and do something with the place but that can wait." She noticed Minako's curious expression. "This is what I came to get, Minako. Now let's go. We still have to say goodbye to the others before we leave for the tour."
The other girls all nodded and stood up, heading for the door. Hotaru moved close to Usagi, being the last to walk out other than Usagi, who had to be the last so she could lock up the house. They all got into the car and headed for the shrine to meet with the other senshi and Mamoru. But of course with Haruka driving, that ride wasn't a very long one. Together, they headed up the stairs of the temple and inside towards Rei's room where the meetings always were. But when they were just right outside of Rei's room, what they heard surprised them.
"We should be trying to get her to stop this silliness of being a singer and get her focused and prepared for her time as Queen." Came the voice of Ami.
"Why bother? We've already tried and she still insists on doing it even when she knows youma could attack at any time." Makoto's annoyed voice was next.
"She's not cut out to be queen." Said Mamoru. "Not like Rei here, who knows and acts the way a future queen should." He held Rei close lovingly.
"And Minako is no better, encouraging Usagi." Rei smirked. "So it's agreed then, both of them are kicked out of the Senshi and I become the new leader?"
"Agreed." Mamoru, Makoto and Ami all chimed in together.
At that point, Usagi had had enough of listening and before the outers or Minako could stop her, she strolled into the room with her head held high, her crescent moon in view. "So that's what you all think of me? Even though you all know that Japan has been safe from attacks when I'm on tour? And why shouldn't I have a chance to live a normal dream while I still can?" Her eyes narrowed in a way that would make Haruka proud. "And Mamoru, I've known all this time that you were cheating on me with Rei. I just let you think I didn't know. But how dare you all conspire to kick me and Minako out of the senshi. The joke is on you. I, Princess Serenity, hereby declare that as punishment for betrayal of the crown, that you are stripped of your titles and powers and forced to live out your lives as normal humans. Never will you see the new Crystal Millennium when it comes." With a bright flash of her crescent moon, the three now former senshi and her now former lover all felt their powers leave and watched them become part of the Ginzuishou. With that, she turned and stalked back out of the room and out of the temple. Silently, Minako walked with her, gently squeezing her hand as a sign of moral support.
The four outers followed behind their princess and Minako. Of course Haruka and Michiru were the most furious at the former inner senshi for betraying the princess but as she had set punishment first, they couldn't go back and do something after. The group of six climbed into the car once more and headed for the airport. As they made their way through the airport, Usagi was bombarded with fans asking for pictures and autographs from their new favorite singer, requests that she fulfilled with a happy smile. After she'd signed a few autographs and taken pictures, Haruka and Michiru stepped into their roles as bodyguards and ushered her towards their waiting jet.
