Hey….Yeah, you all thought this story was a goner but its back! I know, I know, six months on but hey! A new chapter but it's also the last chapter!

I would like to tell you some really awesome excuse like I was scuba diving in Auckland and I was then carried away by sheep but nah, my excuse is boring and feeble. University, university, university. IT IS THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE. But I wanna become an actress; so I have to study how to be a good actress. Pure skill ain't enough, or so I have been taught XD

Anywho, thank you again and again for reviewing; you guys are golden- SailorMoonAddict, James Birdsong, life705, SarahMichelle1234, M and GinnyPotter0183. Thank you for enjoying this story as much as I have writing it!

Chapter Nine: That fateful day.


'Pluto, I demand that you let us cross. This is about one of our own.'

The purple-haired Senshi was having a bad day. First of all, the Queen had shown up unannounced and requested that she come for some tea and buns in the Royal Palace gardens for a while. Then her daughter had suddenly appeared and demanded that she play with her for a few hours.

And now the Queen's younger self, Serena or Sailor Moon was insisting that they (being her and the other Senshi; Darien had stayed behind) be allowed to enter the doors of time and go back to the past so that they can save Rei.

Setsuna knew that she would have to let them enter the doors of time, regardless of what her duty was. For one, she had to obey an order given to her by her leader and for another, she knew that Sailor Mars was alive and well in the 30th Century so they must have saved her back in the present.

She sighed and looked uneasily at me before simply stepping aside to let us travel to the past.

'Thank-you Setsuna. You won't regret this.' I smiled warmly at her as she opened the door.

Just as we were about to be warped back into time, she called out, 'I hope so.'


With a massive thud we all landed on the soft, dewy, twilight grass of Jubann's Rose Park. The place was deserted and all was eerily quiet.

We quickly arose and Venus checked her watch. She frowned.

'It's 7.20pm. The fight should have already begu-'

Suddenly an ear-splitting scream burst through the trees and I felt a chill run down the back of my spine.

'And there we go.' Jupiter muttered, raising an eyebrow and then taking off in the direction of the scream, the rest of us following closely behind. We stopped as we approached the scene before us.

There they were, all fighting the monster, a disgusting yellow blob thing with spikes coming out of it and yellow acid spurting from what must have been its hands.

'The yellow stuff coming out of the hands is sulphuric acid, guys! Don't let her get you, it might hurt a little.' Sailor Mercury cried, snapping her computer shut and whirling around at the same time.

'MERCURY ICE BUBBLES BLAST!'

The ice bubbles froze a spurt of acid that was millimetres from Jupiter's face and she gulped.

'Thanks Mercury! Let me give this a go! JUPITER THUNDER CRASH!'

Suddenly Venus (the one behind the bushes) came to life.

'This is when it happened! Jupiter shocked it and it released one of its spikes and it flew right into Mars.'

I acted on impulse. Jumping up from my crouching position and ignoring the pleas from the Senshi, I flung myself over the bush and headed straight for Rei, whose face was furrowed with concentration.

Then it was like the whole next few seconds went in slow motion.

I watched as the spike was released from the blob and one was heading in Sailor Mars' direction.

I watched as she gasped as she saw it coming for her but knew there was no way she could move in time.

I watched as it soared past her because I had went flying into her instead, knocking her to the ground.

'Sailor Moon! Thank God, that was close!' Venus called and turning on the monster she snarled, 'You nearly killed one of my friends, prepare to be dusted. VENUS LOVE CHAIN AND CIRCLE!'

The chain wrapped itself around the blob and tightened and then suddenly exploded into dust, scattering all over the park.

'Serena?'

I looked down and saw Rei looking at me, wide-eyed.

'You ok?' I asked and the reply was simply; she flung her arms around me and pulled me into a hug.

'You saved my life.' She whispered. I smiled.

'What are friends for?'

The other scouts helped me and Rei up and we stood there for a few moments, grinning like idiots.

Until the other me showed up of course.

'Um, who the hell is that?'

We all looked around to see, me, gasping for breath and glaring in my direction. The Senshi looked from me to the past me to me again. Venus opened her mouth.

'What the fu-'

Suddenly the present time Senshi, burst through the trees and grabbed me.

'Sorry guys, gotta go!' Jupiter called to them and we quickly joined hands and I closed my eyes.

I suddenly felt weightless and opened my eyes slowly and found myself face to face with Sailor Pluto.

'I trust everything went according to plan, yes your majesty?'

I waved my hand dismissively at her and stuck my tongue out.

'Please, no formalities, you know I don't like it.'

'I was only asking; I watched what happened. Nice running jump there Princess. Haven't seen you jump like that since one of your parties at the palace and there was only one doughnut left and both you and the King wanted it. It was hilarious.' She laughed loudly and the other giggled.

'Whoa Serena, you're even a glutton as Queen of the Earth!' Venus chortled and I scowled.

'Yeah, that's right, keep laughing. You won't be next century when I rule the world.' I pouted and Setsuna ruffled my hair affectionately and I couldn't help by smile. She gestured to another door to our left.

'That door will bring you back to the present. Good luck Princess. Hope you see you sometime soon!'

'Thanks Setsuna!' We called out as we walked back into the present.


Again we all landed with a loud thud but it was harder and more painful because we landed on the rocky ground of the temple.

Grumbling, I stood up and dusted myself off but froze when I heard a small cough.

A choking noise came from my throat. My knees weakened. I suddenly wanted, needed to grope for Ami or Mina or Lita's arm, her shoulder, her wrist, something, anything, to lean on. But I didn't. I didn't dare. I didn't dare move a muscle. I didn't dare breathe, or blink even for fear that she was just a mirage shimmering in the distance, a brittle illusion caused by the moonlight that would vanish at the slightest movement. I stood perfectly still and looked at her until my lungs screamed for air and my eyes commanded me to blink.

And, somehow, miraculously, after I took a breath, closed and opened my eyes, she was still standing there.

Rei was still standing there.

I allowed myself to take a step toward her.

Then another.

And another.

And then I was running.

I crashed into her with overwhelming force and I could hear her crying and I didn't even know I was until she pulled back from me and dabbed at my eyes with her hands. She was wearing her normal temple clothes and looking simply perfect.

'Rei.' I wheezed and broke into a massive smile and it seemed infectious because everyone was suddenly around us, grinning like madwomen. Rei grabbed my hands and squeezed them tightly. And to my surprise it didn't hurt. I looked down and gasped in amazement as the cuts on them closed before my very own eyes.

Finally. Everything was back to normal again.

With my best friend back and safe from harm and my boyfriend's arms around my shoulders, I finally felt at peace.

Both my hands and, but more importantly, my heart were successfully healed.
