A/N: Here I am with a new chapter! The action begins and the Senshi finally arrive back at the Moon. Enjoy!
Summary: Senshi Star was perfectly content to live out her life as a soldier of the Moon without question or thought. When the wizard prince of Elysian arrives as a peace sign from the Earth with three very familiar friends, her world is turned upside down. Will they find love? Or will they be separated by the doom which is destined to befall the Moon Empire?
Usagi hated waiting. She had persuaded her father to force her mother to issue the Call and she was still waiting. Pacing back and forth angrily, Usagi considered a thought that she had forced to the back of her mind. What if Star wouldn't come? A shudder passed unbidden through her body and Usagi turned fearfully eyes towards the rising Earth. A blue haze covered the entire planet and made it glow with a light that was more calming than the Moon's. The Moon felt dead, even under Usagi's feet. Usagi had been to the Earth several times before and she had felt the overwhelming life beneath her like a thunderbolt. Perhaps Star, who was more sensitive to such energy waves, would risk war just to remain on that planet.
The thought of war made Usagi's eyes sting. Why risk war? Bloody and painful, Usagi cringed at the very idea of carnage and pain. She had seen pictures of wounded soldiers before during her studies (war being one of the lessons she had actually stayed awake in) and the mangled bodies of the defeated made the victorious look like monsters. She was stubborn enough to do almost anything but Usagi was not completely black hearted. She would never send someone into a war. At least not intentionally.
Laughter filled the hallway and shocked Usagi out of her thoughts. The sound was pleasant and something so rare, Usagi wasn't entirely sure how to react at first. She had learnt long ago that the Moon Kingdom was a place of silence and reverence and laughter or happiness had no place here. Pleasure, yes, but happiness no. Just as Usagi was getting very annoyed, two children came running down the hallway laughing loudly. The first was a girl of around five with golden hair and bright green eyes. She was being pursed by a boy of around the same age with black hair and bright red eyes. Just as they were nearing Usagi, both children stopped laughing and watched her with open curiosity. Forgetting their game, both children linked arms and stared up at her with the same expression on their faces.
"Hello." The girl said warmly.
"Who are you?" The boy asked, a smile tugging at his lips. Usagi wasn't sure what to say since she wasn't very skilled with children and she didn't even know who these were. Usagi looked around for someone or something to tell her what to do but when no one came to her rescue, Usagi forced a smile for the patiently waiting children.
"I'm Princess Serenity." She said. "Who are you?" The children stared at her blankly before the boy nudged the girl.
"Didn't your mum talk about her?"
"That's right! She's the moon bunny!" Both children laughed and resumed their game without looking at her. Usagi stood where she was, face burning and feeling like a fool as the children played what appeared to be a game of tag. Eventually Usagi heard the soft clicking of heels on marble as a group of people began to move steadily toward her. Usagi's eyes widened when she recognized them.
Star walked with a new strength about her that Usagi had never seen before. Her mask mockingly hid her face but jewel like emerald eyes watched her as she came into view. Saturn also walked with a strange new power to her, a new presence. She was no longer dark but a strange hybrid between. She was a light shadow now. The third person was a person wrapped in a purple cloak wearing a white mask. Sharp blue eyes watched her as their gazes locked. Her gloved hand was held by a five year old girl with blond pigtails and icy opal eyes.
"Mummy!" The children playing tag shrieked and ran towards Star and Saturn. The boy hugged Saturn around the waist and smiled up at her adoringly as Saturn brushed his hair out of his eyes. Star kneeled down by the girl and smiled at her with her eyes.
"Gabrielle, I see you've found the moon bunny." Usagi was shocked to hear that voice after so long. That voice that she hated and yet always wanted to hear. Star was like Usagi's trophy: she always wanted her around. Gabrielle giggled and hugged her mother fondly.
"Demian found her first!" Gabrielle said cheerfully. She smiled at Usagi and laughed when the opal-eyed girl holding the hood woman's hand tickled her. Usagi managed to find her tongue just when the children were showing signs of wanting to continue their game of tag.
"Star, you have a daughter?" The Moon Princess had been planning to make her comment more of a statement. She failed in her attempt since her voice became weak and turned her words into a question. Star glanced at her darkly and nodded once.
"Gabrielle Gryffindor." Star said. The other children took this as a sign to introduce themselves since each stiffened and bow or curtsied respectfully.
"I'm Demian Slytherin, pleased to meet you." Demian said.
"I'm Kitty Luna, pleased to meet you." The opal-eyed girl said shyly. When she had curtsied, she grabbed her mother's hand and hid behind her. Usagi felt a growing dread while watching the hooded woman. Something told her that the woman's identity wouldn't be pleasant when she revealed herself.
"I'm to take you to my father." Usagi mumbled. Star's eyes widened and her grip on Gabrielle's hand tightened.
"Your father has returned?"
"Yes." A little of Usagi's old smugness returned to her voice. She ruffled her silver gown and flattened out invisible wrinkles. Turning up her nose slightly, Usagi glared at Star. "He's furious with you. You didn't ask permission to leave the Moon and you didn't even leave for safety reasons! Just for a holiday. Why, if the SLAVES just up and left for no reason at all, there would be chaos! Father had good reason to be furious with you. I hope he punishes you."
"My mummy didn't do anything bad!" Gabrielle hissed with unnatural coldness. She was always a warm and cheerful girl; for her to be rude to another person (especially a stranger) she had to be fairly upset. Demian and Kitty were also watching Usagi with obvious dislike.
"We won't let you yell at Aunt Selena like that!" Star closed her eyes tightly. There, her name was out for grabs. Usagi knew who she was now.
At first Usagi thought there had been some kind of mistake. Had the children just called Star by another name? Selena? That was when she realized and all the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. Princess Selena and Senshi Star were never in the same place at the same time. They had the same eyes and wore the same mask even though Star wore a special clasp that gave the illusion that she had white hair. When she disappeared, so did Selena. They were one and the same person.
"YOU!" Usagi hissed. There was nothing else she could say; her mind had gone blank with shock and fury. After all of the centuries they had been together and she hadn't been able to figure it out. No one knew. No one guessed.
"I see you have finally returned to the Moon Kingdom, Queen Selena." Usagi's face turned beet red at the soft sound of her mother's voice. Turning around sharply, Queen Serenity smiled at Star, or rather Selena. With a curt bow, Selena pulled off the magical clasp in her hair to reveal golden locks and removing her mask, the Selena that Usagi remembered was revealed. Somehow she seemed happier now without anything to hide her from the world. Gabrielle laughed and looked up at her mother adoringly.
"There you are mummy!"
"Your Majesty, I brought someone with me." Selena said. A smile tugged at the corners of her lips and Usagi found she was shocked that Star COULD smile. With her mask, the task had been virtually impossible. Motioning towards the hooded woman, Selena stepped aside. With a whirl of cloth, Usagi found that she was looking into her mirror image. I look good in a Senshi uniform, Usagi found herself thinking as she stared. That was when she realized that the reflection was actually a person and not a mirror.
"What is she doing here?" Queen Serenity demanded in a tiny voice. Her eyes were wide and her usual composure was gone. Seeing her eldest daughter after so long, Queen Serenity appeared lost for words. Hecate smiled sadly at her.
"May fortune smile on you, Queen Serenity." Hecate said as she kneeled before her mother. Queen Serenity sobbed but held herself erect. With her head held high, the Queen remained rooted to the spot and merely stared at her daughter. Her first born daughter.
"Hecate . . . ."

Muses: o.o;
Helga: *in a whisper* enough with the painful reminders of projects that SHOULD be done now. Review and have a nice bloody day.
