Hana was falling, falling, falling...
WHUMP.
She landed, hard, on her thigh. "Ow," she murmured as she heaved herself up. "Looks like we're here." said an unfamiliar voice. Hana looked to her left. Oh, she thought. Sailor Lavender. But Sailor Lavender, and herself for that matter, were in civilian form, Hana in jeans and a purple scoop neck T-shirt and Sailor Lavender garbed in faded jeans and a white tank top with Nike sneakers. "So...we're...here?" Hana pushed out. "I guess," replied Sailor Lavender apathetically. "So, uh, what's your name?" asked Hana quickly, afraid she had offended the mysterious Senshi. "Lilia Ena Lavender," she said proudly. "And anyone who doesn't like it can bite my ass." Hana cracked a smile. Maybe she and Lilia could get along.
"...so then, I said 'Lavender Moon Tint, Make Up!' and I had completed my first henshin!" finished Hana. "Wow. You were a pretty badass eight year old." mused Lilia. Hana smiled for what seemed like the 100th time. Once they got past the initial awkwardness, she and Lilia were becoming fast friends. for a while they had been walking aimlessly, trading secrets and stories. "Hey..." said Lilia suddenly. "Do you see something ahead?" Hana looked to where Lilia was pointing, and sure enough, she sighted what appeared to be a series of turrets, towers, and drawbridges; the building itself appeared to be made of shimmering silver stone. "Sailor Silver Moon...silver castle." Hana muttered. "Lilia, let's try there. Even if Selenity's not there, we might be able to get some information." Lilia nodded, and she and Hana set out walking again.
"Should we knock?" whispered Hana tersely. Lilia smiled impishly, and simply opened the mahogany door, and even Hana, who was used to her Moon Palace, was awed. Silver, glass, quartz...the whole room seemed to be centered around precious stones. But they had little time to marvel; a sharp voice cut into their thoughts. "Hey ever heard of knocking?" Hana turned, and knew at once that this was Sailor Silver Moon: White hair in Chibiusa's hairstyle, flashing grey eyes, grey-and-white fuku, silver tiara, and silver Crescent Moon Wand.
Hana stole a look at Lilia, and a moment of understanding passed between the friends. "Are you...Sailor Silver Moon?" Lilia asked in a hushed voice. "If you must know, yes." the girl replied. "I am Sailor Silver Moon, Princess Selenity, heiress to the throne, daughter of the legendary Queen Serenity IIII." "That's a long title..." Lilia murmured in Hana's ear. But Hana wasn't paying attention; she didn't care about her princess status, and she didn't bother to ask who this mysterious Serenity IIII was. All she cared about was getting Selenity on their side. "We..we need your help!" she blurted out. "Sailor Cosmos needs you to help us prevent the end of the world!" Lilia finished enthusiastically. Silver Moon looked at the two friends for a long moment, and sighed. "Start from the beginning."
