Chapter 3
(Serenity's point of view)
I heard Minako arrive home. Her feet pounded the spiral stairs as she dashed to my my room, and knocked on the door.
"Can I come in? It's me, Minako." she called.
"Sure," I replied. Minako entered. I was perched on a stool at my dresser, brushing my hair. "What's up V-chan?" I asked. She looked a little nervous.
"Promise you won't call me crazy?"
"Would I do a thing like that?" I teased. Minako wandered absent-mindedly over to Chibi-usa's cradle. My small child looked up at her, wide-eyed. Minako lifted her out of the cradle and held her close.
"I saw Kunzite today." she said quitely, not looking at me.
"No way! Kunzite? That's impossible!" I shrieked with laughter, but stopped when I saw the deadly serious look on her face.
"It's not impossible, you unwittingly revived him with your Silver Crystal." Oops. Rei-chan will murder me when she finds out!
"How? Did he attack you?" I asked
"I dunno. And no, because Metalia's gone. In fact, he was incredibly friendly. He's a fashion designer now."
I was silent, trying to get her head around this. Minako gently rocked Chibi-usa. I knew what she was thinking. They don't say anything, but I know they all think it. Will they ever be able to find someone to settle down with? Sometimes I don't realise how lucky I am, having Mamo-chan there. I know if I didn't have him, it would be hard to find someone else, because of how complicated my life is. Minako ran her fingers through Chibi-usa's pink curls before murmuring, "Look, Mama's finished brushing her hair now. Maybe she would like to hold you?"
I smiled, and lifted my daughter out of Minako's arms.
"Are you going to see him again?"
"I think so."
"He may be lying, V-chan, so be careful." I warned her.
"He's not. I just know it." she insisted
"Don't be too sure." Once upon a time I would never have been so doubtful, but I'm less naive now.
"Look, Serenity, I trust him, so I will take full responsibility for his actions, should he cause any trouble." She must have really trusted him to say that.
"Well, if you're sure. I think you should tell Endymion, though. Afterall, Kunzite was once Endymion's general," I pointed out.
"I will. Thankyou Serenity."
After Minako had left, I hugged Chibi-usa close. I looked at her in awe, trying to imagine how very soon my tiny baby would be the fiesty kid that had come from the future to visit me all those years ago, when I had still be known as plain old Usagi, and Endymion as Mamoru. Then, Crystal Tokyo had seemed so unreal, but now here I was, all grown-up. And it seemed that V-babe was falling in love too, even if V-babe herself didn't know it yet.
"Do you think she remembers what happened to them in the past?" I asked Chibi-usa, but, of course I recieved no answer.
