Authors Notes: Thanks to my wonderful reviewers!


"SERENITY!" Luna shouted.

Serenity lifted her head up from a nap. It took her a moment to remember that she was in class again with Luna.

"I was telling you about the history of Planet Kronos!" Luna shrieked.

"Excuse me," Serenity said.

"Now, you have to fill out this worksheet and bring it back in tomorrow," Luna said.

"But Luna," Serenity complained.

"Class dismissed," Luna said.

Serenity went to her room. As she looked at the paper she got bored. Ten minutes had passed. If the sailor soldiers thought she was doing her "home-work"… Serenity grinned. She would just do her homework later. Serenity stood up and transported to Earth.

The air felt colder around Elysian. A boom ran out shaking Serenity. Black clouds spanned over the distance.

"Please Jupiter? Just one date," Serenity heard.

Serenity ducked behind a bush. Jupiter was arguing with Nephrite about something.

"Nephrite, I said I liked you as a friend. I'm just not that into you," Jupiter said.

A black mist curled around Nephrite.

"JUPITER STAR POWER!" Jupiter shouted.

Jupiter had now become Sailor Jupiter.

"JUPITER THUNDER BLAST!" Jupiter shouted.

The black mist was gone. But Serenity could still feel something cold around Nephrite. With a flash Jupiter was gone. Nephrite walked away to who knows where.

Serenity made sure the coast was clear before she went to find Endymion. Sunset was nearing. Lights were coming from the castle. Serenity went to the castle. A door was cracked open which Serenity entered silently.

The ball room was decorated in streamers and chandeliers draping from the ceiling. She looked around for Endymion. Then she found him. He was wearing a tuxedo with his usual cape.

"Serenity!" Endymion exclaimed.

"Endymion!" Serenity shouted.

The two then went onto the dance floor. For Serenity it was pure bliss.


Venus had decided to sneak out to the ball on Earth. She wore a long thin yellow halter dress with white gloves. Deciding she looked decent enough she transported to Earth. It wasn't the first time she had snuck down to Earth. A flyer had been hanging about someplace on Earth when Venus decided she would go.

She found Kunzite outside the castle. He was clutching his chest and holding a wall at the same time.

"Kunzite," Venus whispered.

"GO AWAY!" he shouted.

"Kunzite, I can help," Venus pleaded.

"I can't let anyone else get it! I have to fight it myself!" Kunzite shouted.

Venus kissed Kunzite. Warmth passed through her. She pulled away.

"Shouldn't you be finding your princess like usual?" Kunzite asked.

Venus slapped herself. Serenity would definitely be here.

"We can't let her get close to the prince! It's forbidden!" Venus shouted.

She grabbed Kunzites arm as they went in trying to find Serenity and Endymion.


Endymion was telling Serenity a joke when the lights went off. They flickered back on a faded green.

"Hand over the girl," the witch said.

"Never!" Endymion shouted.

The people turned into lifeless zombies. Serenity held onto Endymion's back.

"GOLDEN CRYSTAL HEALING!" Endymion shouted.

A gold light flooded the room. The people fell unconscious. The witch wrapped her sash around her and she was gone in a puff of smoke. Serenity screamed. An arm was pulling her away from Endymion.

"Let me go! Let me go! Endymion!" Serenity cried.

"Serenity!" Endymion shouted.

Venus and Kunzite were prying the two off each other. Serenity reached a hand out to Endymion but Venus pulled her away harder. Venus and Serenity were gone in a flash.

"Serenity!" Endymion shouted.

"Pull yourself together Endymion! There are people dying everyday from these rebellions!" Kunzite scholded.

"Kunzite have you ever been in love! In love so much you would do anything to protect that person! Because Kunzite, I have something worth fighting for!" Endymion shouted.

Kunzite clutched his head.

"Go," Kunzite ordered.

/S/

Serenity cried on her bed. Mars was stroking her hair.

"Serenity, you have to stop loving Endymion if you want to keep living," Mars said.

"I'd rather die than have to live a day without him," Serenity cried.

Mars held her breath.

"It's too late," Mars muttered.

She left Serenity's room.


Mars transported to Earth. Jadeite would have to know something right? She knocked on the temple door.

"Come in," a voice said.

Mars opened the door. Jadeite was meditating in front of a fire.

"Hello Jadeite," Mars said.

"Mars," Jadeite said.

"In the flesh," Mars smiled.

"It's not safe right now. Nephrite must have gone over to the dark side. Kunzite is internally fighting the force but as long as Venus is with him he's fine," Jadeite said.

"Jed, are we ever going to go into war?" Mars asked.

"It's coming," Jadeite said.

Mars held onto Jadeite.

"Don't you dare ever leave me! Promise me that! Promise you'll never leave my side!" Mars cried.

"I promise Mars. I'll love you until the end of time," Jadeite said.

He gave her a slip of paper.

"I think you'll accept this. Something to help you out in the long run," Jadeite said,

He slipped a small sheet of paper into Mars' hand.

"Jadeite, I don't know how much time we have left, but I love you," Mars whispered.

"I love you two Mars," Jadeite said.

The two kissed for what seemed like eternity. Love never felt to right to Mars. Then she heard the door slam open.

"Jadeite! I think it hit me!" a voice shouted.
"Zoicite!" Jadeite shouted.

"It's too late for me. I'll have a short time before it gets me," Zoicite said.

"Zoicite! I've already lost one of my brothers! I can't lose you too!" Jadeite said.

"Tell the Prince I'm sorry," Zoicite said.

He shortly fainted afterwards.

"ZOICITE!" Jadeite shouted.

"Jed," Mars said, tears welling in her eyes.

Mars hugged Jadeite.

"I'm sorry," Mars said.

Jadeite cried. Mars helped Jadeite move Zoicites limp body to the castle.

"He'll wake up, but he'll never be the same again. I guess I'm the last king of heaven left," Jadeite laughed weakly.

"Jed, please, please come with me to the moon. You can be safe there! Queen Serenity can help you! I don't want to lose you to them," Mars pleaded.

"Mars, Mars, Mars, I have to stay here. I care as much about my prince as you care about your princess. I'll be safe," Jadeite said.

"I love you Jadiete," Mars said.

The two kissed one last time before Mars had to leave.

Little did she know that this would be one of the last time's she would truly see him.

Mars sat in her room. She put the paper in her sailor uniform. Next time she would take a camera with her. Just for the memories.


Venus sat with Artemis overlooking Earth.

"Artemis, Earth's feeling colder than usual," Venus said.

"It's some dark force that's causing up that commotion," Artemis replied.

"Will I always be alone?" Venus asked.

"Why do you ask that Venus?" Artemis asked.

"It's like all this stuff is expected of me but it's higher, different from everyone else," Venus said.

"Venus, you'll always have me. Remember that one time you mixed my shampoo with color dye?" Artemis asked.

Venus laughed.

"You were pink for a month!" Venus said.

"See! You're not alone! No matter what your friends and your family will be with you no matter what. You just have to believe," Artemis said.

"I guess you're right Artie," Venus said.


Authors Notes: So what did you think? I was thinking this chapter was a bit too depressing and I was ignoring Artemis so there he is at the end! I'll try to add in more Mercury scenes later cause I feel I've been neglecting her a bit too much lately. So without further ado, the end of chapter 7.
