It had been one week. The girls had enough worrying and decided to crash into the blondes home.
"Who are we going to send up there?" Ami questioned.
She was close to all of them, but she wasn't no where near ready to talk to all of them about it.
"I think Rei should do it." Minako sighed.
They all agreed, Rei was mean to Usagi, but she knew how to motivate the airhead.
"But be a little sensitive." Setsuna advised, "The wounds are still fresh, and this could make or break the future we know to be."
Michiru looked at the fire soilder, "You're the only one who could get threw to her. You understand our Princess in a different way. We all do, but you know how to bring out her light. Just don't be to hard on her, you of all people know what kind of soul she is."
Rei nodded, this would be one of her biggest missions yet, as a Sailor soilder and a friend.
She entered the house quietly, and saw Luna.
"She's in the tub, resting. You have a few hours before any of the family gets here. And Rei, she doesn't look so good right now."
Minako sighed, "We all know she's driven by her emotions. She's making herself sick."
Michiru nodded, "And the deeper she falls into this sadness, the weaker she will get."
Hotaru stood up, "We must lift her sprirts. She's always been there for us, no matter what. We owe at least this to our Princess."
Ami sat, "And of the future? What about Chibiusa? She hasn't sent any word, and niether has the Neo Queen Serenity."
"The future is murky right now, this could be the day we set it straight. And as for Chibiuasa," She paused and looked down, "She hasn't been spotted in the future or gates. She's a what if, now. And It's all uncertain. The only certain thing I can tell you, is that Usagi will be Queen. A miserably sick one if she continues. Her emotions will take control of her rule. She's always been different. Her emotions take control of her body's well being. At this rate, she won't be strong enough to even produce an heir. But it doesn't matter if she produces a child with Mamoru or not. In each future, the moon and earth wll not be enemies." Setsuna sighed.
"No." Hotaru stated. "I refuse to lose Chibiusa, to all of you she was the Princess. But she was my friend, my dear friend. She's going to be born, and we will make sure of it. For now, we'll just watch over. But soon, we need to make them realize what they're doing. I don't care if they want to be together, but I'm going to make sure he impregnates her. Chibiusa deserves it. My friend isn't going to die."
The girls stood in awe at Saturn's display. She was the closest to the pink haired girl.
Haruka nodded, "I agree. We need that baby to be born. Chibiusa deserves to live no matter what. But the question is how will we make this happen?"
They all looked at Minako.
The blonde grinned, "Well, as the goddess of love, I see it fit to play a bit with the situation. I can make it happen. I'll make a lust charm, and then they'll do the dirty, and thus making Chibiusa!"
"And how do we get Mamoru and Usagi in the same place?" Makoto questioned.
Ami grinned, "I'll keep a friendship with Mamoru and invite him to one of my mother's teachings!"
"I'm supposed to be playing at one, so I can get Usagi to join for me." Michiru grinned.
"Looks like we have a plan." Hotaru giggled.
"For Chibiusa." they all agreed.
Usagi sang to herself, feeling pink bubbles all over her. It was nice. But then Rei appeared at the door.
"Usagi," She gasped.
Her hair had turned silver, like her future self. She was deathly pale too. And her eyes, oh god. They lost sparkle. Her face was swollen, from crying. And she looked like she lost a few pounds.
"Rei? What are you doing here?" She questioned.
"I came to check up on you. You're not looking so good, Usa."
The silver haired woman sighed.
"How long have you been in the tub?" Rei asked.
"A few hours. I'm pruning up, I know. I'm not ready to get out." She admitted.
Rei sighed. "Well you need to, let me buy you some ice cream, and let's talk?" The fire soilder put her hand in the water and shivered, it was freezing. She couldn't help but think what a mess her Princess had become.
"I'll help you up." She smiled. Her smile faded, at how easily it was to pick up Usagi. She was so light. She had always been petite, with her 4'11 frame. But this was unhelathy. It's like she had given up on her love of food.
Rei carried the heart broken girl into her room. And set out a pink skirt and shirt with shoes, she knew Usagi loved. Usagi got up and dressed quickly. Her clothes looked baggy. While she was doing this, Rei sent a message to the girls.
Rei started to brush the long silver locks Usagi owned. Rei started doing her signature meatballs, but Usagi stopped her.
"I don't want them. I'm just going to leave it alone today."
The fire soilder nodded, not wanting to push her friend too much.
Usagi's hair culrled a bit at the ends, but it looked beautiful anyways.
Rei grinned, "I've always loved your hair, you know that? I guess that's why I always teased you about it."
Usagi smiled, not a full smile, but it was something.
They two woman walked.
Sailor Uranus and Neptune decided to follow, in secret, just in case, while the other girls went home.
Rei and Usagi sat at a booth, while Rei ordered two banana spilts.
"I gave him back the ring." Usagi sighed.
"And what did he do?" Rei asked.
"Nothing, he sat there, as I walked away. And he just watched."
"Oh Usagi." Rei held her hands.
"It's okay Rei, I can't cry anymore. I don't deserve to, cause you see, giving that ring back meant ending it. And ending it, meant I killed her. My own daughter, she'll never be born. And now the future is uncertain. But I promised Rei, I'm going to make the Moon the planet it was. I'll restore it, if it's the last thing I do."
Rei smiled, "Good Usagi, it's time to go back to school, and take on that goal you have. You can't restore a planet in a tub."
The silver haired girl laughed.
Rei beamed hearing that laugh she loved and protected.
"I love you Rei."
"I love you too Usagi. And all the girls are here for you. You aren't alone. And there isn't a rule that says you can't date again. As long as you don't tell anyone our secret." Rei winked.
Usagi laughed, "I had a little thing for Seiya, but it wasn't much."
Rei laughed, "We knew."
The Princess sighed, "But he's gone and is helping his princess."
Rei smirked, "Well, maybe we could ask him to come for awhile, we miss all the starlights."
Usagi grinned. "I'll write a letter."
"Your sophomore dance is coming up! Invite him to it! He'd love it."
Usagi sighed, she never planned to go to it in the first place, Mamoru didn't think people would accept their age gap. So he refused to do it.
"I don't really want to go to the dance Rei." She took a bite out of her ice cream.
Rei sighed.
