Damian hugged his sister's child as tears rushed out of his eyes. "She's left us Soren, she's gone. Serenity's gone…" The ice, the glittering shine of his eyes were gone.

Soren stared at his uncle, "what do you mean gone Uncle Damian? Gone where?"

Damian stopped his tears. "She's gone to a place where the fates can't touch her anymore, Soren. She changed her destiny… She will not come back."

Soren, now four, didn't understand why his uncle was crying. To him, his mother had gone to a happy place, where the bad King Endymion could not bother her. She would be safe and happy.

Sailor Pluto, the senshi of time, stood alone in her time portal, staring at nothingness. She shook her head and her eyes constricted. "This was not supposed to happen, Princess. You defied the fates after all."

(Three years later)

"Daddy, where did my mommy go?" asked a little pink haired Princess sitting on the Earthen Queen's throne. She had bright azure eyes like her father (AN we changed her eye color). Her small face emulated hers… she was so much like her…

Endymion felt his eyes moisten. "She defied the fates, Princess," he said, "She beat destiny, Serenity."

Princess Serenity seemed content with the answer. She squealed with delight, very much as her mother would have done, as a golden haired warrior entered the room. "Aunt Minako," she cried happily, "are you here to take me to the moon?"

Minako smiled, never had she imagined that she would be someone's aunt. Aunt Minako sounded funny to her, it made her feel forty years old. However, she found, uncle Kunzite, even funnier. Her eyes darkened as she remembered the way Serenity had laughed when they had talked about being married and having children. "You'll be an aunt, Minako," Serenity had said as Minako had chased her around the Lunar palace to make her take it back.

"Greetings, princess," Kunzite said carrying the girl on his shoulders, "ready to go to the moon?"

Serenity squealed with delight. "Yes!" she shouted happily, "is Uncle Damian going to be there with cousin Soren?" she asked.

"Yes sweetheart, they're both going to be there," Kunzite replied.

Minako stared at Kunzite, still not believing her eyes. Who could have thought the cold Kunzite could be a family man? Minako closed her eyes. It was strange how someone's death could bring people together. The Solar-Galaxy was no longer fighting among itself. The Moon, Nemesis, and the Earth had sighed treaties to abolish war for the rest of eternity. Even Damian had agreed. Damian and Endymion, though still angry, had reasoned enough to speak civilly with each other. Each of the inner senshi had married one of the Generals. Yes, she Minako had married none other than Kunzite. Endymion, though, was melancholy most of the time. The indigo blaze in his eyes had never returned. He had not remarried saying that his heart would accept no one else.

Dead memories seemed his only escape. He cherished her memories, every room in the palace had her portrait. Her face, smiling down at him with lipid blue eyes…

If only things could have been done differently. If only she still lived. If only their doomed love could reblossom in a new world. A reality with no connections to the silver millennium.

She shook herself out of her reverie and looked at Endymion. He understood and smiled at her.
