Sailor Moon ran across rooftops until she reached the Crown Arcade. Clutching the suitcase with one hand, she gripped her broach with the other. His shoes didn't make a sound when he landed on the roof, but she knew he was there. He was always there. She turned to see Tuxedo Kamen standing on the roof.

He looked around to make sure someone wasn't nearby and asked. "Are you going to the Moon?" She nodded. He said. "Take me with you. I want to see the Moon." Looking at the sky, he said. "I want to see the Earth in the sky." He looked at her, waiting for an answer.

She nodded and he walked up to her. Taking the suitcase from her, he held it in one hand and held her hand with the other. They closed their eyes as they focused their energy on teleporting to the Moon. Disappearing from the rooftop, they appeared in front of the Palace. Tuxedo Kamen looked up. The Earth was like a marble in the sky. The white clouds swirling over the blue of the water and the green of the landmasses. It was beautiful. Sailor Moon took the suitcase and they walked down the path lined with lanterns. Upon entering the palace, they crossed the main room and into a corridor and then went down another one until they reached her room.

Her room was filled with things related to the senshi and things she didn't want to lose. The rose he gave her was now in a vase on her nightstand here on the Moon. He was curious about the suitcase though. "Is that more things you don't want your mother taking?"

Sailor Moon shook her head as she set the suitcase by the nightstand. "This is so they think I'm staying with a relative. Chibiusa made them think I'm in Fukushima and will be returning the day before Shingo's funeral."

Tuxedo Kamen was confused. "Why? Has something happened?" She bit her lip. He asked. "Does Chibiusa know you're not actually in Fukushima?" She shook her head. He sighed.

Sailor Moon said. "I… need some time to think and we're supposed to discuss the dreams, and I thought we'd have a break after defeating Beryl, but now there's Prince Diamond… and..." She made a sort of a helpless why gesture as she looked around. She felt like she was going to crumble and just wanted a break from everything.

Tuxedo Kamen said. "Let's discuss the dreams then. Let's focus on that. Nothing else matters right now." She nodded as they sat down on the bed. "We'll take turns. I'll tell you a dream I had and you tell me if you had it then you'll tell me a dream you had." She nodded and he shared a dream he had.

He brushed the bangs out of her eyes then touched her cheek. They were facing each other, lying in bed. He spoke, "Who are you?"

Sailor Moon nodded. "I had that dream. The only difference is the point of view." He nodded and listened to her tell one of her dreams.

She stood in a dark corridor. The exit to the brightly lit room was a few feet away. He stood in the doorway. "Save me" She pleaded. He smirked, "Save you?" She nodded, "I can't take it anymore." Stretching out her arms, she said, "When the time comes, will you stop me?" She knew eventually that time would come. Her arms dropped to her side as he shook his head. "You ask me to save you, yet I know nothing about you. I have nothing to go on. So, tell me your name. Where do you go?" She opened her mouth to reply, but couldn't. It was as if she physically couldn't reply. As if something was stopping her from replying.

He smirked again. "I thought so. You're not real. Go bother someone else." She breathed deeply. Yes, she knew it was ridiculous to ask him to save her. However, she felt trapped. As if she were going to be consumed by the darkness that always seemed to follow her. She knew she shouldn't think of him as the light at the end of the tunnel, but she did.

She clutched her chest as she felt the darkness consume her. She whispered. "I love you…En..dy..mi…on.." His eyes widened as she collapsed. Was he concerned? Once again she heard that cackle. Beryl spoke. "He's mine"

Tuxedo Kamen sighed as he nodded. "It's the same except for the point of view. I was beginning to think you weren't real." He didn't point out the similarities of the dream and that night. "I said those things because I was getting angry. If you weren't real, then why was I dreaming of you? If you were just a figment of my imagination, then why did I feel so drawn to you?"

Sailor Moon nodded. "I felt the same way. I asked myself a lot of the same questions. Why was I dreaming of him and why did I feel drawn to him if he wasn't real?" She huffed as she crossed her arms. "And why were his kisses so perfect?" Her eyes widened as she clamped her mouth shut.

Tuxedo Kamen smiled. "His kisses are perfect?" She remained silent and he chuckled. "I wasn't going to mention those dreams, but since you brought it up..." He leaned over and whispered a dream he had.

They laid in bed, kissing. He was on top of her with his hand on the back of her neck. She moaned into the kiss.

Sailor Moon blushed as he leaned away from her. "I… have had that… dream… it was the same except the point of view."

He said. "Okay, let's leave out those kinds of dreams and focus on the others right now." She nodded and they went back and forth, sharing their dreams.

Chibiusa hugged Luna-P, resting her chin on it as she sat in the Hikawa Shrine. Sailor Venus, Sailor Mars, and Artemis waited with her while Sailor Mercury, Luna, and Sailor Jupiter were out searching for Usagi. Neither Usagi nor Tuxedo Kamen was answering their communicators. Usagi not answering didn't surprise her, but Tuxedo Kamen not answering did. Then she thought about what Usagi had said.

You dare talk back to your mother?

Lifting her head up, she asked. "Hey… who told her she's my mother?"

Sailor Mars said. "King Endymion told us."

Artemis shook his head. "She was still in the hands of the Black Moon Clan. As far as I know, it wasn't mentioned to her."

They looked at each other as it occurred to them and exclaimed. "Prince Diamond!"

Artemis shook his head, Chibiusa stood, Sailor Mars faced the door as Sailor Mercury, Luna, and Sailor Jupiter entered, and Sailor Venus demanded Chibiusa hand over Luna-P. Chibiusa didn't argue and Sailor Venus said. "I'm going to contact the King."

Sailor Mercury said. "When you do, tell him more members of the Black Moon Clan are here." Sailor Venus nodded as she called the King.

Chibiusa clenched her fists. Stupid Usagi. "I knew I shouldn't have done that. I should reverse the spell."

Sailor Mars said. "Don't. It's a good thing. It gives us a week without having to deal with her family keeping her grounded." Facing Sailor Mercury, she asked. "What do you know?"

She said. "There are two of them. They called themselves Berthier and Petz. They were talking to Rubeus."

Sailor Venus said. "Rubeus was in the future when we left. Did he follow us here?"

Chibiusa said. "If Petz and Berthier are here then the other two sisters are probably here as well."

Sailor Venus said. "King Endymion!" Everyone stopped talking as the King greeted them. "King, Sailor Moon is missing, and Tuxedo Kamen isn't answering his communicator."

The King smiled. "Let them be."

Sailor Venus was surprised. "You know where they're at?" Then she narrowed her eyes. "They're not with you are they?"

He chuckled. "No, they're not here, but I know where they are."

Sailor Mars said. "You do?"

The King said. "While this future isn't set in stone, I do have an idea of where my past self is."

Sailor Venus said. "We need to contact them. Rubeus is already back here and so are two women going by Petz and Berthier."

The King sighed. This is not what his past self and Serenity needed. "Venus, I will tell you where they are, but do not tell anyone else. Does everyone understand to not ask Sailor Venus for the location?" Everyone nodded, affirming they understood.

Sailor Moon scrunched her face up. "Do you think the dream of me in the garden, the one of the forbidden stairs, and a few others are all connected? Are they a memory of the past?"

Tuxedo Kamen nodded. "Possibly. The forbidden stairs though, the only reason they would be used is in an emergency. It's possible the dreams are of the final battle when Beryl rose up with her army." He stood. "Is there a record room? We might be able to check the reports of that day and compare it to our dreams. I know we remember a lot more since you awakened as the Princess, but it doesn't hurt to check."

Sailor Moon stood and led the way. "Everything can be accessed on the computer, but I don't think we should try. I never operated it and I don't want to accidentally erase everything. We'll have to search the paper records. We might find a record of the layout of the Earth palace. I know there are blueprints of the other planet's palaces."

Tuxedo Kamen was surprised the records room was so close to her room. He was even more surprised at the size. Huge would be an understatement. There were many bookcases and on top of each bookcase was a globe. The bookcases containing the Moon's history had a globe of the Moon, the ones containing the history of Jupiter had a globe of Jupiter, and so on. Sailor Moon walked to the ones with a globe of the Earth on top of them. She said. "I don't know which bookcase it's in, but it's one of these three. If you want to know which planet's history a bookcase holds, look at the globe sitting on top and that will tell you. As you can see, there are five globes of Jupiter."

They searched and after a couple of hours, she sighed. "It isn't here. I thought we had the records."

Tuxedo Kamen said. "That kind of information sounds like something a spy has to obtain. The book is probably hidden." He took a few steps backward and tiptoed. "The bookcases have a raised edge..." He grabbed a footstool and stood on it. Smiling, he picked up the globe and then picked up the book. Holding it up, he said. "The globe was sitting on it." Looking around he said, "It seems every globe is sitting on top of a book. Normally, rooms like this have high ceilings and equally high bookcases, but this room isn't like that. Everything is almost within reach and if it isn't, a footstool is all that's needed." Getting down, he began flipping through it. "This is definitely information obtained by a spy."

Sailor Moon said. "This is probably how Sailor Venus knew where to find me when I'd sneak to Earth, but she wasn't a spy." She was thoughtful for a moment, then said. "Who wrote this?" Snapping the book shut, she began looking for a name while Tuxedo Kamen glared at her for shutting the book on his finger. She shook her head as she read the signature on the inside cover. "That sneaky old man. His office was soundproof and said we could talk about anything there. He'd smile, saying don't mind him, he was busy with his books. That's how he got the layout of the other planet's palaces. He listened to us as we naively compared layouts of our palaces. That would have been shortly after the senshi were assigned to me. I'm not entirely sure where he got the information on Earth. By the time I began sneaking away years later, we had long since learned not to gossip... for the most part." Flipping through the pages again, she said. "Here, this is the room with the forbidden stairwell. It matches what was in my dream."

Tuxedo Kamen nodded as he looked at it. "Mine too."

AN: I prefer the flashbacks to be in italics, but this flashback is over 1000 words. The next chapter is strictly the flashback.
