Gracie, now 4 years old, had started spouting scarlet red locks of hair, and her eyes had turned permanently green when she was 2. Crystal's hair is more light brown with her mother's blue eyes. Christen has long dark brown hair and eyes, almost like her mother. Ariel is a beauty with crimped, light brown hair and hazel eyes. Holly, 7, is now as much like Haruka as she will get, a good thing she is not as distant as her "mother" was, but with her tow-headed hair and green eyes, she looks more like a solider of the sky.

Alexis's hair revealed itself to be brown and wavy with blue eyes. Emily's skin has started to darken into a nice, natural, all-around year tan with short, black hair and brown eyes. Trisha (11) remains unchanged in looks, except older and shot up to 4'10". One day in the afternoon, at the table...

"Hey, Trisha, if you and your mother are always here, as you are, who is guarding the Space-Time Door?" Holly asked.

Paling, Trisha looked up at her mother, who, in turn, looked to Luna and Neo-Queen Serenity had a knowing smile on her face.

Luna cleared her throat to get everyone's attention, "Around the time Trisha must have been born, in her original dimension, Artemis and I had our first kitten, Comet. SHE is guarding the Space-Time Door, and I have just had my last two kittens over the time span, Asteroid, and Diana, who will be guardians to you girls when you start training as Sailor Senshi."

"Why didn't you tell us about your kittens?" Holly snapped.

"Because unlike; humans, we don't put our kittens up on a pedestal!" Luna snapped back.

"Alright. Let's all calm down, the chefs are about to bring lunch in, and we don't want upset stomachs from eating while worked up." Artemis stepped between his wife and Holly.

"That is sage advice, Artemis," Tisha commented.

"Thanks." Artemis smiled, beaming.

After the girls went outside to play, Neo-Queen Serenity had some grim news, "Everyone, listen: I know we've all had scares when our children were born, but a far scarier scenario plagues my mind. As the girls grow, I cannot help but know many evils will attack us, we know this, and with the children still being too young to fight, I fear to think of what could befall them. Therefore, when they turn 11, I will encase them in Silver Crystal as I was. They have already been touched by its power and will halt aging...until it is safe to start training."

Neo-Queen Serenity knew her Sailor Senshi would not take this well, and they each exploded into questions, which Neo-Queen Serenity answered as completely as she could.

"Trisha's 11..." Setsuna slowly started crying as she found out tonight would be Trisha's turn.

Setsuna sobbed into Haruka and Michiru's arms, unable to think of how to explain this to Trisha. However, by that night, Setsuna had to say something, and Trisha knew something is up. When explained, Trisha is shocked but said the unexpected:

"If Neo-Queen Serenity declares such, so it shall be. Don't fret, mom; I am YOUR daughter. I am Neo-Sailor Pluto, keeper of the Door of Space-Time, Guardian of Revolution and the Underworld. On behalf of Pluto, I will honor the queen's wishes." Trisha vowed, and Setsuna hugged her, beginning to cry anew.

Setsuna feels as though she failed Trisha again, but her little girl remains loyal, loving, honorable, and fearless. In a secure, secret, secluded room, Neo-Queen Serenity saw to it that everyone saw what was going to happen to Trisha, so it would not be as much of a shock to the others later, when it was their turn and Trisha's Silver Crystal casket looked as beautiful as the young soldier.

When they could, the old and new Sailor Senshi went to visit and talk to Trisha every day, even though she could not respond. As Chibiusa's 900-year life span began, she witnessed her mother put all her friends in Silver Crystal caskets, and when she thought it would be her turn, she decided to swipe a Time Key from Sailor Pluto and go to the past to ask Sailor Moon for help, but this led to the Black Moon Clan's attack! Seeing her friends willingly walk to imprisonment is why Chibiusa grew up scared, sad, and feeling lost, though no one ever saw her teammates when they traveled to the future.

Chibiusa's life played out over the next 2 years as normal, but everything she did is for her Sailor Senshi team! Now 8 and despite her efforts in becoming a Sailor Senshi, her mother refused to release her friends until she was sure it is safe for them to train. Chibiusa understood this, but what good is protecting everyone from danger when you expect them to take care of themselves?! Chibiusa went to see how her teammates had developed in the time she was gone.

Despite their different DOB's they all had had their birthday on the same days as she's for convenience, though Chibiusa did not want a birthday party after Alexis was the last one to be "put to sleep." Using her father, Setsuna, and Diana as her comforts, Chibiusa waited three more years...
