A/N: I am sorry I haven't wrote more sooner… but I have been busy with work and a whole lot of other bull… but here is the newest chapter. I hope you like it.
Chapter 7
Serena was sitting outside on the porch, while Raye, Luna, and Seiya were sitting in the living room. Luna had summoned Sailor Pluto and they were waiting for her to arrive. They were sitting there solemnly when Sailor Pluto arrived, carrying her staff tightly. She looked as though she hadn't been resting well.
"Luna, what had happened? Why have you called?" Sailor Pluto asked urgently. She then noticed Seiya and glared. "And why is the starlight here?"
"He is no longer a starlight. He is now one of the princess's senshi," Luna said quickly. Luna looked Pluto up and down and could tell there was something wrong. "What is wrong, Sailor Pluto? Is there trouble with the time stream?"
Pluto sighed before sitting on a nearby chair, "Ever since the battle with Galaxia, the time stream has been a mess. Everything has fallen apart and I cannot find the reason."
"We may know the reason," Raye spoke up, staring at the ground.
Pluto turned to her quickly, "Please, Sailor Mars. If you have any ideas, share them."
"Well, I have been thinking about this intently for a few hours now, and why I haven't thought of this before is beyond me, but what if the battle with Galaxia changed everything?"
"How so?" Luna asked and Sailor Pluto nodded in agreement.
"Well, from what we were led to believe before, there was never supposed to be a threat like that. Even when we were sent to the future, there was no record or indication of such. So if that was never supposed to happen, then our princess was never supposed to meet the Starlights. So what if the reason the time stream is messed is that things have happened that were never supposed to happen… did happen?" Raye said in a hurry. They were all silent for a moment, then suddenly Seiya spoke.
"So I was never supposed to meet Serena," Seiya whispered.
"I believe that Sailor Mars is correct. Now, I must know, what has happened between our Princess and Darien?" Pluto asked. This time, Luna spoke.
"He has broken her."
"How so?" Pluto asked intrigued.
"He has taken it upon himself to force her to be with him," Luna said emotionlessly. "And because of him, her shining spirit that we all love… has diminished."
"This is terrible!" Sailor Pluto exclaimed.
"We also have reason to believe that she is in love with another," Raye said with a sigh. Pluto looked over at her in shock.
"She has fallen in love with another?" Pluto asked, trying to grasp the concept.
"Yes," Luna said. "It happened rather suddenly and she has done a very good job concealing it from everyone."
"This is strange," Pluto said. "I have never known our Princess to love anyone other than her Prince. This person must mean a great deal to her." Seiya did his best to hide a smile. "Who is the one who managed to claim her heart?"
"I believe that would be me," Seiya whispered. Pluto turned to face him, as if suddenly remembering he was there.
"That would make sense," Pluto said slowly.
"What do you mean," Luna asked.
"Well I could tell when you were here last that things were already changing. But I did not entirely see this going on any farther than a simple infatuation."
"You knew?" Raye gasped.
"Of course I knew," Pluto responded. "But now we must determine how to set things right. Especially now that Crystal Tokyo has been changed so drastically."
"We have called you to ask you something," Raye suddenly stepped in. "We need to know if there would be any harm if our Princess and Darien don't end up together?" Pluto sat there a moment, staring off. Inside she was wondering how much she should tell them, and whether or not it would help.
"Where is our Princess?" Pluto finally spoke. Luna titled her head to the door, and Pluto nodded, stood and began to walk outside.
She found Serena sitting with her knees pulled up to her chest, staring off into the night.
"You are deeply distressed, my Princess," Pluto said as she placed a comforting hand on Serena's shoulder.
"I have ruined everything, haven't I?" Serena asked as tears began to fall. "All because I fell in love with someone else."
Pluto knelt down beside her princess, "Princess, did it ever occur to you that this was never supposed to happen?"
"Well, it did happen and now because of my foolish feelings, I have ruined the entire future," Serena cried as more tears fell. "And what's worse is that I will never get to see Rini."
"Princess," Pluto said gently. "What I meant was that many events have happened to alter the future. The main one is the battle with Galaxia. Because of that one event, your future has been changed. But we don't know whether it is for the better, or worse. And just because you and the prince are no longer together, that doesn't mean that Rini will not be born. She is your daughter. You will have her no matter who the father is." Serena stopped crying and thought for a moment.
"So I haven't ruined everything?"
Pluto shook her head, "No, princess. Just because you are in love with Seiya does not mean you have ruined everything."
"Then what does the future hold for me now?" Serena asked as she stared at Pluto.
Pluto sighed, "I do not know. The future is no longer clear. The choices you make now will be the ones to shape the future. However, I do not want you thinking that you are forced to be with the earth prince. Just then a loud beeping was coming from Serena's jean pocket. She pulled out her pink sidekick cell phone and saw she had a new text message. "Who is it, princess?"
Serena looked from her phone to Pluto, "It's Darien." She turned the phone to show Pluto the text message.
Darling, I cant begin to tell you how sorry I am. I never should have questioned you. Please call me after you have calmed down. I don't want to lose you. Not because of this. I know I was wrong. Just please, call me. Love, Darien
"What should I do?" Serena asked quietly as she looked at Pluto.
Pluto looked at her, "What does your heart tell you to do?" Serena looked from Pluto's concerned gaze to Darien's message.
