When the other creatures were surprised that Sailor Moon was with them, they are overwhelmed in delight, and they are all asked her for an autograph. While Sailor Moon was spent time with the space creatures, Pidge and Hunk noticed that she was not wearing the engagement ring on her finger and then they were wondered in curiosity.
Pidge approached to Jerry, said " Um, Jerry. I need to asked you for something. "
" Yes, what is it, Pidge? " Jerry asked, still drinking a glass of strawberry juice
" Why Serena didn't weared the engagement ring that Keith gave it to her last time? "
Jerry, turned his back, was surprised too, that Serena didn't weared the engagement ring on her finger.
" She didn't weared the engagement ring on her finger?! I don't understand. " Jerry wondered in surprise manner
" I was so very curious that why she didn't weared her engagement ring today. I wondered why. " Hunk said, in a curious way
Tom, approached to them, carrying a box of space chocolates, asked them " What are you guys talking about? "
" Um, it was nothing, Tom. Is that a box of space chocolates? " Pidge said in response, with a slight giggle on her face
" pal! You carrying a lot of space chocolates?! You will get too much allergic! " Jerry said in a surprise manner
" What? It was once in a lifetime to eat these foods from outside of the universe. Of course, I will not eat all of it. " Tom replied
" You can't eat all of it? But whom you will gonna give those space chocolates? " Hunk asked
" I will give these space chocolates to our close friends in planet Earth including Jaden as well. I'm sure that they will get thrilled when they see those things that came from outside space while the remaining ones will be shared to me and Jerry. " Tom said in response
" Yeah, I doubt that. " Hunk muttered
" Okay, just go ahead and give it to Coran, in order to sent it immediately to planet Earth. " Pidge told him
" I will " Tom responded
And Tom run away, leaving the three behind. A few seconds, Lance, Allura, Shiro along with Rini and Chibi Chibi went approached to them.
" Woah! I guess Tom had been carried a huge box of space chocolates. " Lance said
" He will eat a few of it while the remaining ones will be sending to planet Earth, to our close friends and allies. " Jerry said to them
" Maybe I can help to assist him. He didn't know on how to operate the Altean sending teleporter. It might be caused an huge massive accident for him. " Allura said to Jerry
" Maybe I can help you out, Allura. " Lance said
" Thanks, Lance. " Allura said, with a smile on her face
And the two leaved away.
" Wow, those two are quite so perfect for each other... " Rini said, in a romantic manner
" Yeah... you say so... " Chibi Chibi uttered, with a deep sigh, breathy
" By the way, Rini. I need to asked for something. " Jerry said to her
" Of what? " Rini asked
" I have been noticed that Serena didn't weared her engagement ring that Keith gave it to her a day ago. Do you have any idea why she didn't weared it? " Jerry said in response
" Hmm... I think I can't answered that, Jerry. I was also very confusing of why Serena didn't weared the engagement ring on her finger. I tried to asked her this morning when we left the castle but I was getting so nervous when I tried to asked her about that issue. " Rini said, in a thoughtful manner
" Oh, I see about it, Rini. And besides, I have never seen Serena was acting like that from before. " Jerry said
" Huh? What do you mean by that, Sir Jerry? " Shiro asked
" I have been noticed her that she was not on the right mood this morning. Her facial expression was looked like... she was getting anxious or something. I don't know why. I tried to asked her but she didn't say anything even just only one word from her mouth. " Jerry said in response
" Maybe she was feeling nervous that the Dark Moon might showed up again this time. " Luna said
" Or... she might be feared that Keith might be in terrible danger this time... that the two rulers might get him again this time. " Pidge stated, in an uttered manner
" I'm sure that it will never happened this time. I hope. " Shiro said then he turned his back, looking for Keith in every corners
" What's the matter, Shiro? " Hunk asked
" Have you guys ever seen Keith? I don't see him anywhere around here in inside the castle? " Shiro asked them
" Maybe he was going out, hanging with Serena of course. " Pidge said in response
" Oh, I see. " Shiro muttered
On the other hand, Serena and Keith were walked together in outside of the castle.
" Where we are going, Serena? "
" It was a secret one, okay? " in a whispered manner
While they were continued walking, Acxa along with Ezor and Zethrid approached to them, making them to stopped walking.
" Hi, moon face. " Acxa greeted
Making Serena's facial expression turned impatient.
" So, what are you three doing here? " Keith asked
" Well, we having some fun and relaxation here, of course. We don't want to disturbed your first anniversary date with Miss Serena. " Ezor replied, with a little romantic embarrassment
" Cut it out, Ezor. " Acxa told her, with a little impatient expression on her face
" What? It was very obvious, isn't it? " Ezor said to her
She turned to Keith, making him to be wondered in curiosity, then she asked him " Um.. Shall we talked for a moment? just the two of us? please? "
" Well... uh... " Keith uttered
But Serena defended him, shouted to her " Excuse me, Acxa. I wont let you to talked to him! "
" What's the point? I was trying to talked to him, of course? What's the deal? " Acxa asked
" Do you ever forgot? He was my fiancee now, got that? So, don't bothered us anymore. " Serena told her
" Oh, really, eh... " Acxa uttered, with amusement
And the two women were raging with each other, in flames, twitching with each other eyes, making the others were stunned in shocked.
" Uh, Acxa. I guess that's enough for arguing with each other. " Zethrid told her
" I think we shall go now, Serena. Just don't bothered her. " Keith told Serena, urged her
" Do you think you are more stronger than me? " Acxa asked
" Of course i am, Acxa. I'm the Pretty Guardian of Love and Justice, got that?! " Serena answered
" Well, if you say so then, I will challenge you in a sword fight tomorrow. " Acxa demanded
" What?! " Ezor and Zethrid shocked in surprised
" If you win, you will become his fiancee for longer but if you lose, he will hanged out with me, of course. " Acxa demanded
" Fine with me but I won't ever lose to you... a half Altean just like you. " Serena said in response
" Serena, you can't! " Keith said, urged her
" Meet me at the Galra Arena tomorrow morning. Just be prepared. " Acxa told her
And the three left away, leaving the two behind.
" Serena, are you really sure about that? You can't do that just for my sake. " Keith asked, with anxiously worried expression on his face
" Of course, I'm sure about that. But you don't need to be worried about me. I'll be fine, for sure. " Serena said to him
" Are you really sure? I'm afraid that if you getting beaten by Acxa in the battle fight. She was the toughest alien creature even though that she was a half Galra and half Altean. " Keith asked her
" Don't worry, I will never get hurt so badly, I promise. " Serena said to him
" You will? " Keith asked
" Sure thing, after all, you are my only fiancee that I have with. I won't let anyone to take you away. " Serena said in response
" You promised me that? " Keith asked
" I will " Serena said, with a smile on her face
But suddenly, her mind recalled on about of what Neo Queen Serenity said to her last night, that she should stayed away from Keith, in order for his own safety away from the threats of the Dark Moon. After that, she was stunned in a silent manner, making Keith to wondered of her new reaction.
He interrupted her thinking moment, asked her " Um, Are you alright, Serena? "
" Uh, it was nothing, Keith. Shall we get going then? " Serena replied
" Sure " Keith answered
And the two went on walking.
Later that night on the bedroom, Serena was lying down on the bed, holding a photo album of between her and Jaden from the past, nodded her head, looked at some of their wonderful moments that they spend together. After a few minutes later, she get the photo album on the cabinet, in which it was contained the pictures of between her and Keith and she did the same way as she did. She recalled the last words that her future self, Neo Queen Serenity told her:
" Just think wisely... "
After she recalled that on her mind, her tears were fall down from her eyes then she thought " I can't ever to leaved him just like that... because I have true care and love for him... but seems... somehow... I must learned on how to be a self thinker... on what should I do carefully... time changes everything... and also... I must learned to accept an ultimate defeat... " and she flipped back her photo album, placed back on the cabinet then she went to sleep
The next morning, while everyone were went out, due to some important things that they need to settled in every planets from every galaxies. With the exception of Keith, who was calmly relaxed, sat on the chair, having some fresh air, who was been tired and exhausted after his tour yesterday with the other paladins. He was holding a comic book.
Serena approached to him, asked " What are you reading, Keith? It was looks like a comic book? "
" Haven't you heard the comic book titled " The Walking Dead? " "
" Uh, I been heard a little bit from before. That's where the walkers zombies are existed in an apocalypse world. "
" Yeah, have you read all of them? "
" No, I haven't finished all of them. There are so many volumes. I stopped reading at Volume 19... "
" So, did you like it? "
" Hmm, seems that I like it that much. But I'm scared of seeing a brutal to death and torturing so badly. But I preferred the book that Jaden told me about. "
" What's the title of that book did you said? "
" The book title name was It. It was also a horror type novel book. "
" So, did you finished reading that book? "
" I finished that for one year. "
" one year? really?! Is that really too much horrible? "
" Much horrible. Somehow, I did believe that aliens are really existed in our planet but not all of them are good ones. Some others are became bad and malicious creatures just like Pennywise did. "
" Oh, you say that. But this comic book was not so very horrible unlike that novel book that you have readed with. "
" I thought that you don't like horror types, aren't you? "
" Not too much. Lance gave these comic book volumes that it was owned by his brother. His brother loves to read horror books especially comic ones. So, Lance told me everything of what happened in the comic book. And so, I like it so much. But my first favorite type of book that I wanted to read was action and heroic type, just like Invincible. "
" Oh! I been heard that on the tv from a year ago. All of the people are wanted to buy every parts of the comic book despite that it was too long. One of my close best friend urged me to buy and read it because it was full of action, melodrama, romance and slight comedy as well. And so, I finished it all of them many years ago when before I met you. "
" Wow! You are really quite a comic book fan reader, Serena. "
" Not that much, Keith. But I need to asked you for something. "
" Yes, what is it? "
" Is Invincible was really exist? I thought that he was more stronger and tougher than any other heroes... but I was so very wary of him... when you encountered him in personal? "
" Why shouldn't I? But he was far more different than from me. I think you have crush on him, aren't you? "
" No, not that much! I only idolize him, you know that. My faith and trust will be belong to you always, just like I did the same way to Jaden from before. "
" Really? "
" Of course " with a slight blush on her face
Keith giggled in embarrassment.
" What's the funny? "
" I guess you are far more cuter when you are getting blushing at me. "
" Oh, come on, give me a break! So, can you borrow me one of the previous volume of that comic book? "
" Sure thing, Serena. "
And he borrowed her some of the previous volumes of " The Walking Dead ". The two are reading together, with a little bickered conversation. After they read together, Serena turned her head to Keith, said " Um, Keith. We need to speaked outside. "
" Oh, okay. "
And the two went out of the castle ship.
Then, he turned to her, asked " So, what you will gonna say to me? "
On the other hand, Hunk and Pidge were helping the people of Balmera, along with Tom, Jerry and Rini. After finishing their job, the Balmerians treated them a feast.
But Pidge eat just only a little, making the three were wondered at her reaction.
" What's the matter, Pidge? I guess you eat a little bit of food. " Hunk asked
" I was very concerned about Keith. " Pidge said in response
" What do you mean by that, Pidge? Oh, come on! He and Serena will getting married in the next two months. What's the problem with that? " Hunk said, insisted her
" Of course it does, they will getting married of course but don't you think that they are fully ready for this? I guess that I was little bit afraid that Serena might leave him away just like that... just like you know... a break up love relationship. " Pidge stated
" I'm thinking the same way, Pidge. But I think that she will never do that to him. After all, she did the same way to my master Jaden from before. " Jerry said to her
" But Jaden was different from Keith, you know that. It doesn't make sense that Serena will gonna broke up with him. What's the point of that? Those two are learned to be independent. " Tom said
" I was wondering... how those two are doing right now at the castle? " Hunk wondered, with curiosity
Back at the castle, both two are still standing in front, outside of the castle. Keith looked at her, asking her.
" So, is there's anything that you will gonna say to me? "
She nodded her head in a silent manner, without saying a word from her mouth, making him to wondered in confusion.
She turned to him, said, in an uttered manner " Um, well... actually it was... "
" Hm? "
" Actually it was... I will never gonna stayed here for longer. "
Making him to be curious, he asked " Huh? What do you mean by that, Serena? Why you mean that you can't stayed here for longer? "
" It because that... I mean... We can't stayed longer of our relationship. "
" our relationship? What are you talking about? You said to me from before that you will never broke our promise between us. "
" That's was from before. I'm afraid that I will must stayed away from you for a long moment of time. "
" You... will gonna stayed away from me? But, Serena! You can't do this to me! Are you saying this is because that you will going with someone else, a better man just like your former fiancee Jaden? "
" No, it wasn't like that, Keith. I will gonna stayed away from you because the real reason was... is to keep you safe from threats of the evil forces. That's why I wanted to stayed away from you for a longer moment of time. If we keeped doing this, we are all in terrible danger. "
" You wanted to stayed away from me for my own sake? But, we have to worked together to find a better solution for this serious problem. "
" I'm afraid that it will never work that way. It was the only way that the evil forces will never attacked anyone else, including you. So that's why I decided that I should separate with you... in order for both of us to stayed safe together. " then she turned her back away from him, tried to walked away
Making him to shocked in horrify of what she said, then he pulled her hand, said " You will gonna leave me again? It was not necessary to do that, Serena. Don't ever do this! You said to me that we will stick together, right? And now that you broke it... it is because of our sakes. Please, don't ever leave me, please... "
She nodded her head, said to him " I'm sorry. I guess it was the only choice for the both of us. Sorry, I will won't stayed with you for longer... sorry... "
And she let go of his hand then she walked out, leaving him lonely and confusion.
" No... you can't do this to me... why, Serena? Why? Why are you doing this to me? Why? " with tears falling from his eyes
And he ran away from the castle, crying in tears, with strong emotional expressions.
Later that afternoon, the other paladins along with Tom, Jerry, Rini and Chibi Chibi were returned back to the castle. But they have been surprised that Serena and Keith were not there in inside of the castle.
" Hold on... where are those two anyway? " Hunk wondered
" Maybe they are hanging out with each other until nighttime, what gives. " Lance said
" I think we should wait for them to returned back here. " Tom said, insisted them
" I got a bad feeling about this. " Pidge said, in a thoughtful manner
" What do you mean by that, Pidge? " Jerry asked
" I think there are not hanging out with each other. I think that they are arguing with each other for an unknown reason. " Pidge said in response
" Maybe we should split up and find them in outside of the castle just in case. I'm getting worried about Keith that much because those evil Dark Moon members might get him. " Shiro said
" That's sound a good plan, Tom, Jerry, Rini, Chibi Chibi along with Pidge and Hunk will find Serena while me, Lance, Coran and Shiro will find Keith on the other side. We need to make sure that they are safe out there. " Allura told them
" What are we waiting for? Let's go. " Coran said
And the team were split up to searched for both of them.
On the other hand, Keith, was sat on the ground, near by the water, looking at his own reflection, feeling sad and brokenhearted, still crying in anguish. But unbeknownst to him, Commander Emerna was watching him from the top distance, then Princess Diamond appeared before her, then she turned her back, asked her " So, what's your plan with him, Your Highness? Don't you think that the queen might knows about this secret plan of yours? "
" How desperate he was... He was broke up by his dear girlfriend.. Now that they are separated, I will make sure that he will belonged to my possession. No one can able to know about my secret plan. " with an evil amusement on her face
Then, Commander Emerna was started to wondered of her secret evil desire for Keith.
On the other side, Serena, was walking around the forest. But when Acxa saw her, she stopped walking then Acxa asked her " What are you doing here, moon face? Do you ever forgot? Our fight will be in tomorrow. Just go back to the castle. "
" I'm asking you the same thing, Acxa. Of course not, I will won't forget about that tomorrow. "
" So, Where is Keith? Why are you not came along with him? "
" Just mine your business. "
" Huh? Are you saying that... "
But suddenly, Serena heard Keith's voice from the farther distance, shouted for help.
" No way... it couldn't be... " turned her back, away from Acxa
" What's the matter, moon face? "
" Keith was in terrible danger. I must go there and saved him. " and she quickly run away from the scene
" Oh, well. I will come along with you. " Acxa said, runs after her, followed from the distance
As the two ladies were running, to find and rescue Keith. Serena, thought on her mind " I made a terrible mistake. I shouldn't want to separate him. But what's the meaning of this feeling that I couldn't stop saving him although I should stayed away from him but... what's really happening in me? How I can fight this feeling that I can't lose him? How?! How? !" then she released her brooch from her pocket then she thought again in her mind, with strong emotions " Please forgive me, Keith... forgive me. "
Then, she shouted " Moon Eternal Power, Make Up!! " and she transformed into Eternal Sailor Moon
The two were continued running to catch up and to rescue Keith from the evil clutches of the Dark Moon.
Now that Serena had make a huge mistake that separating with Keith is the only way to protect themselves from harm but it will never worked that way, she was determined to rescued him despite of her future self's warning. On the other side, the paladins along with Serena's allies were searching for both of them, despite they didn't know the upcoming threat coming by. Meanwhile, Princess Diamond along with Commander Emerna, as her secret assistance, had secretly kidnapped him, due to the princess's evil desires towards him, making Emerna began to wondered of her new reaction.
