A/N: Hello again! It's kind of weird writing a story to completion because there's no review to look at before the next chapter. However, I already know this is a much better story than it was before, if anyone out there read the original version I'm sure they agree. Anywhosits, let's see what happens next!

WARNING: I'm writing this story for enjoyment and not profit. I will put whatever I like in it so flamers are not to be tolerated.

Title: Not Set In Stone

Chapter Four

0000000000000000000000

A week suddenly flew past for the Senshi and Darien. Only seven days ago had Endymion's sister returned from the past and shaken their lives into intense focus. Rei somehow felt they had a purpose again. It wasn't just waiting anymore for the future they always knew. Terressia had managed to create the uncertain future she had longed for secretly.

In a week things changed enormously. Every Senshi now lived in the mansion. Ami had convinced her mother that this would save on her college tuition by moving in with the others. Mako simply rented out her apartment to a friend. Mina claimed she needed a new atmosphere as did Serena. Setsuna, Hotaru, Haruka, and Michiru gave up their own two story apartment to live in the mansion. Rei told her grandpa the truth and she knew he would be alright since the temple now had two extra set of hands. Darien managed to get out of his contract for his apartment and decided to permanently be with his sister.

Terressia herself now felt a semblance of hope as the Senshi came together. She showed her friends how she was monitoring Dradian's progress across the universe towards them. Somehow the princess had managed to get ahead of him. He must have stopped along the way to regain his strength. Terressia also insisted that the Senshi put as much effort in to learning to hide their power signatures as well as learn teleportation outside of Senshi form. The young princess also showed the others the trick to willing one's weapon out without the aid of transformed Senshi power.

At present, Terri was working with Rei in the Fire room. Here Rei found it the easiest to will her abilities out of Senshi form and Terri felt she was improving the fastest.

"So...tell me if it'll rain tomorrow?" Terri asked softly beside Rei who was staring determinedly into the roaring fire in front of them.

"Yes, it's going to rain." Rei said evenly, turning her amethyst eyes on the other girl.

"Really?" Terri blinked in surprise. Rei suddenly laughed and smacked the brunette on the leg.

"Yeah, I checked the forecast for tomorrow before breakfast!" Her laughter took her over as Terri became a bright shade of red. With a smile she pushed her friend over off her pillow.

"You suck, Rei." She tried not smile but it was too late, Rei could hear the amusement in her voice.

"Tell me something real now." Terri said as they finally calmed down. "Tell me something about my future."

Rei's eyes widened but she nodded and faced the fire with sincerity.

Her hands went into fluid, calm motions as her eyes fell shut and her face furrowed in concentration. She willed herself to see Terri at any point in her future but her heart suddenly chose the new millennium. In her mind there was Crystal Tokyo and a beautiful crystal palace stood as it always did.

The fire pulled her through into the palace and drifted past shadows of people who didn't matter. Through a haze she could see Terri, blurred but lovely and her heart sped up as a dark figure sat next to her. Her brow furrowed as the person kissed Terri's cheek.

Rei forced herself out of the vision then. To keep looking was making her feel sick. That feeling was hers to figure out later. There wasn't any reason to tell Terri about how she felt...

It's too soon for my heart to hurt over that...it's much too soon.

"Rei? Are you alright?" Terri's voice was full of concern and she gently touched the raven haired girl's shoulder.

"I saw...Crystal Tokyo. You were there and there was a person with so much darkness on them. It was a part of them. Terri they were-" Rei went to finish but Terri shook her head.

"It was a test of your abilities, Rei. Don't tell me anymore. Come on." The brunette pulled herself and Rei to their knees.

"Now. Teleport across the room." Terri said this with sternness that Rei had learned Terri's way of giving an immediate command.

She automatically disappeared and half a second later was on the other side of the fire. Admiring how the light caught the silver strands in Terri's hair.

"Brilliant. Now teleport to the alley by the Crown and bring me the white stone there. Meet me in the training facility."

And then Terri was gone just as Rei rolled her eyes and blinked out of sight.

A minute later Terri was patiently waiting for Rei in a blocked off portion of the training facility. Mina and Setsuna as well as Serena and Haruka were currently training together in other portions. She couldn't see nor hear them but she could feel them.

"Here." Rei's voice said before her body appeared. Terri smiled in quiet surprise she could do such a thing. "You hid the damn thing in a crack behind a piece of metal."

"You almost beat Setsuna on that one." Rei frowned at that, throwing the stone to her. "She found it five seconds sooner."

"She's Setsuna, she's ridiculous. Have you ever seen her play hide and seek?" Rei felt a grin tweak her lips at the memory and at Terri's shocked navy eyes.

"Never would have thought about it. So? Fireball?"

Rei's hand suddenly caught ablaze and the fire neatly coiled itself into a ball. Terri nodded in recognition.

"Bow."

The Martian girl flipped out her other hand and the bow materialized. The fireball manifested itself in the arrow as she went to drawback on it.

Terri's eyes shined with pride.

"Oh Rei!" She cried and swiftly grabbed Rei up in a hug.

"You've improved incredibly!" Terri said as she held her tight, secretly reveling in having Rei so close to her.

Rei felt heat pool lowly into her stomach as she struggled not to take advantage of the situation.

"I had amazing help." She smiled goofily as Terri pulled away.

"Thank you. Now fight me."

The raven haired princess ducked instantly as her new friend came at her fiercely. It struck her that she hadn't felt so alive in awhile. That she hadn't felt truly happy until now.

Sailor Venus tucked and rolled out of the way of one of Pluto's attack. As she came up she suddenly was very still and her sky blue eyes stared at one of the partition walls.

"What is it?" Pluto asked as she landed.

"It's the two of them. They both feel so warm." Venus smiled as she turned towards her beloved. Pluto only eyed her curiously.

"And if they won't express their feelings, I will."

Venus grabbed her lover's face and pulled it to hers, pushing all her passion into a fierce kiss. Pluto's eyes fell shut instantly and her hands grabbed at Venus's slim hips.

Having a love goddess as your girlfriend was hardly ever a bad thing in Pluto's perspective.
