Moments later, the light had reduced itself to a safe level, and everyone gaped at
the astonishing sight that met their eyes.
In the spot where Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen had been now stood the lost
royalty of the Moon *and* Earth, the Moon Stick grasped tightly between their joined
hands. Joy suffused both their faces as they gazed into one another's eyes. The
Ginzuishou flashed brightly and the crescent sigil blazing from the Moon Princess'
forehead flared in response.
"Endymion . . . "
"It's you. I have found you. Serenity."
"I remember. I remember it all."
"Yes."
Softly whispered on the barest bit of breath they spoke, yet their words were that
much more potently emotional for all their quietness. Neither noticed the tears that
welled up in the others' eyes, nor that they spilled over to flow silently down their cheeks,
too consumed were they with drinking in the visage of the one person they had sworn to
live for and love for eternity, but instead had died without.
The light faded at last, but Serenity and Endymion's gazes stayed locked, sharing
newly awakened memories that burst unrelentingly from behind doors kept too long
closed.
"Is it – ?" Mars swallowed convulsively. "Is she – ?"
"Sailor Moon is the Princess," Luna said in a voice full of quiet wonder. "I never
saw it. All this time and she was right *here*, right under my nose."
"It makes a kind of sense," Mercury muttered dazedly, as amazed as the rest of
them.
"Sugoi. Sugoi. Sugoi," Jupiter kept repeating, shaking her head at how blind
they had all been.
Venus and Artemis just shared a look, not saying a thing. They had known all
along.
The generals were aghast. In trying to gain all seven nijizuishou, they had
inadvertently discovered the Ginzuishou and awakened the Moon Princess. Queen Beryl
would surely kill them for this. Unless . . . The thought occurred to them simultaneously.
If they could kill the Princess now, and grab the Ginzuishou, that would eliminate the
greatest threat to the Dark Kingdom. They nodded to each other and advanced to attack.
"We'll take that, Princess," Kunzite said menacingly.
Before the Senshi could make a move, Serenity and Endymion turned as one and
pointed the Moon Stick at the suddenly wary generals. What with their memories but
newly restored, there was so much to take in, almost too much. The generals' roles in
their previous lives were almost overlooked. But a tug in Endymion's heart reminded him
of his former friends and guardians, and the yearning to free them from Beryl and
Metallia's control transferred itself to Serenity's heart. She took action to fulfill her
love's wish and free their souls.
"MOON HEALING ESCALATION!!!!"
The Ginzuishou activated, and the last two Dark Kingdom generals were caught
in the wash of light that sprang from it. As the others watched, spellbound, a blackness
deeper than a void full of midnight seeped from the generals' bodies, curling above their
heads. These two clouds of nothingness combined to try to push their way through the
light and back into their hosts' bodies, but Serenity would not allow it. The crystal's
light increased, and the nameless empty thing uttered a shriek that none could ever
consider human. Slowly, the black thing began to vanish, growing paler as the light
consumed the dark, until finally it was gone.
Now without that which had sustained them for so long, the generals' bodies, too,
started to degrade. But their souls were free from Beryl and Metallia, and they could
safely travel to their eternal rest, with no fear of being intercepted and forced back into
unwilling servitude. As the last traces of the generals faded from view, all present could
faintly hear "Arigato," whispered through the night.
"It is done."
The Senshi started and turned to stare at the sound of her voice. The Princess
they had been searching for since each had discovered they were Sailor Senshi looked as
calm and collected as if she were only out for an evening stroll with friends. She gave no
outward sign that the fate of the entire world rested on the events taking place at this
very moment. The Princess began to walk towards her friends, appearing graceful as a
swan, light as a feather – then her long skirt caught her up and she tripped.
Emitting a very un-Princess-like yelp, she attempted to regain her balance by
windmilling her arms wildly, but only succeeded in making herself tip the other way.
Luckily, Endymion had better reflexes, and he caught her before she hit the ground.
"Um, oops?" Serenity, nestled securely in Endymion's arms, giggled nervously.
"Princess or not, you're still my Usako," he laughed merrily (AN: Kinda a scary
thought, ne?), faint dimples appearing in his cheeks.
Setting her back on her feet, he took her arm and escorted her to where the others
were standing without further mishap. The Senshi, in turn, were still so astounded that
they could do little more than gape. All, that is, except for Venus. She strode forward
and faced her Princess expressionlessly, then surprised everyone by dropping to one knee
and bowing her head. When she glanced up, tears of joy were running unashamedly
down her cheeks.
"It is so good to have you back, Princess Serenity," she said formally. Then she
broke into a wide smile and leapt up to embrace her Princess.
"And you as well, Prince Endymion," she added as she stepped back and wiped
away her tears.
"Venus, what – ? You knew?" Serenity asked.
"Of course," she confirmed. "I couldn't have done my job as decoy properly
unless I knew *who* I was supposed to protect."
"Why didn't you tell us?" Mercury was the first to recover her wits and break the
Senshi's stupefied silence.
"*Telling* wouldn't have helped you. You had to regain your memories on your
own. Are you all beginning to remember now?" Venus asked.
Mercury raised a hand to touch her head. The others were quiet for a few
moments, sorting through their previously dormant memories, which were just now
starting to awaken.
"I was Princess of Jupiter," that Senshi said wonderingly.
"We were all Princesses of our own planets," Venus informed them. "We were
also the Moon Princess' court and personal guard."
"How do you know all this?" Mars demanded a little angrily. "And I don't
understand *why* you couldn't tell us the truth, even if we wouldn't have remembered."
"I told you. Nothing I said would have awakened your memories any sooner than
it was time, and that time wasn't until the Princess was revealed," Venus explained. "And
would you have believed me if I *had* told you? I mean, past lives, a long dead
kingdom, a princess in disguise? It's a little hard to believe without proof. As to the
other – Artemis and I have always known." She looked to her feline companion.
He took up the narrative. "I was awakened before Luna from the cold sleep we
were both put into when Silver Millennium was destroyed. You all remember the deaths
of our previous incarnations?" he asked. They all nodded, grim-faced as the memories of
those last moments surfaced. Serenity clung to Endymion as she recalled their own end,
and he in turn held her no less tightly.
Artemis continued, "With the last of her power, Queen Serenity used the
Ginzuishou and the Moon Stick to send us all to the future in the hope that we would be
able to have peaceful, happy lives. Unfortunately, the Dark Kingdom was sent with us,
and when they began to stir in this time, Queen Serenity's spirit awakened me with my
memories intact and joined me with the present day Venus, who also had her memories
restored, and instructed us to hold back the enemy until the rest of you could find each
other and awaken to your past. The Queen's spirit was not strong enough to awaken us
all, so when Luna awoke, most of her memories were vague and misted. She had only
a general sense of her mission. She was sent to find and guide the rest of you, while
Venus and I instructed her through the computer at the arcade. That is, until we met up
with you all face to face," he finished.
"Then it was Queen Serenity who made sure there would be someone to protect
our peace," Jupiter said.
"Mother," Serenity whispered, feeling the grief for her late family come surging
up. She started to cry, not her usual wailing, but softly, with her face buried in her
hands. Endymion tried to comfort her by holding her closely.
"Maybe we should talk about this later," Luna interrupted, glancing at Serenity
sympathetically.
"Yes," Mercury agreed. "The top of Tokyo Tower isn't very conducive to this sort
of discussion."
The others nodded, and Mars suggested, "Meet at the temple tomorrow?"
"Good idea," said Venus. "But we should all be extra careful. The Dark
Kingdom knows who we are, and now they also know that Usagi is the Moon Princess
*and* that she has the Ginzuishou. I think one of us should be with her at all times."
"I'll take her home," Endymion quickly volunteered.
"We'll *all* take you *both* home," Venus corrected. "You're just as important
as the Princess, my Prince." The other Senshi nodded, expressions determined. They
wouldn't be balked in this.
Endymion sighed. He had been hoping for a little alone time with his Princess,
but it seemed that wasn't to be. At least not for the moment. He acquiesced and, the
matter settled, led a still very upset Serenity down and out of Tokyo Tower, the Senshi
taking up defensive positions around them, as they all headed for home.
* * * * *
Ikuko kept Usagi home from school again the next day, though the Ginzuishou
had healed her hurts the night before, so the girls left Luna to guard her, while Artemis
kept an eye on Mamoru. Afterwards, they all met at Rei's temple, Usagi having to slip
out her window to get past her mother. What she didn't know was that she had been
followed. Shingo had seen his sister creep out the window, and he decided to hobble
along after her and see what she was up to.
At the temple, as the five girls, two cats (Shingo was shocked to discover that his
sister's cat could actually *talk*), and Mamoru sat discussing the events of the last forty-
eight hours, their previous lives, and plans for future attack, a stunned Shingo listened
to them all from the other side of the screen. More and more, he began to understand just
how important what his sister and her friends were doing, and how much he still did not
know about his own sister. A reincarnated princess from a long dead kingdom on the
Moon! And Mamoru-san was Tuxedo Kamen *and* the reincarnated Prince of Earth!
To think that there had once been people living on all the planets in the Solar System. It
was amazing! Then he sobered at the thought of what had happened to all those people
when the Dark Kingdom had taken over. At the realization that the Senshi were fighting
to prevent what had happened to the Moon people from happening to Earth, Shingo was
awed and scared to death. The whole fate of the world rested on his onee-chan's
shoulders. He felt faint.
"And that's why we should attack them first!" Rei's voice yelled from the other
side of the screen. Shingo was jolted out of his reverie, and, putting his eye to a slit in
the screen, he peered into the room. "If we wait for them to come after us, we'll be sitting
ducks!" Rei continued to argue. "They know everything about us by now, and the longer
we wait, the more danger we'll be putting our friends and families in."
"She has a valid point," Ami agreed. "The longer we delay in taking any action,
the more time the enemy has to strike first."
"Yeah, and anyway, we have our Princess back now, and more importantly, she
has the Ginzuishou," Makoto said. "We know how badly Beryl wants to get her claws on
that, so why don't we do her a favor and bring it to her?" Mako flashed her teeth in a
deadly smile.
"But can we beat her?"
Usagi's subdued voice broke through the girls' heated discussion, and all their
heads turned to her, eyes full of worry at the tone of her voice. She had been so quiet,
hardly speaking at all since the meeting had started, and now she sounded so lost, as if
Beryl had already defeated her. Shingo had never heard his sister sound like that. It was
total anathema to the Usagi he knew.
"Queen Serenity – Mother – couldn't destroy Beryl and Metallia. That's why we're
here today," she whispered, staring down at her hands. It wasn't clear if she meant *here*
in the temple, getting ready for the final battle, or *here* in this time, leading the lives
that they had been reborn into, or both. She looked up, facing them all with tears in her
eyes as she shouted, "What makes you think I can succeed where she failed?! Why do
you think I can do what my mother couldn't?! Why me?! Why do I have to be the one?
I can't do it on my own," she whispered brokenly. She sobbed into her hands, shoulders
shaking with the force of her wrenching sobs.
Mamoru gathered her into his arms. She resisted at first, then collapsed against
his chest, her overwhelming grief and fear pouring out as violent tremors wracked her
small frame. Mamoru held her, whispering comforting nonsense into her ear. When she
had spent herself, Usagi pressed her face tightly against his shirt, swallowing great gulps
of air. Breathing returning to normal except for the odd hiccup, she allowed Mamoru to
place a finger under her chin and raise her head to meet his eyes. He kissed her, slowly,
deliberately, and she was reminded of a time during their previous lives when he had kissed
her just that way once before. Drawing back slightly, he rested his forehead against hers,
so that when she dared open her eyes even the tiniest bit, his face filled her vision. He
was all she saw, her whole world right there in front of her. Their breath mingled and
became one, so that each was the other's source of life. There was no one else, not a single
soul on the entire planet other than the person in front of them at that very moment. Usagi
gazed at him, feeling herself captured by his eyes, calm now that her moment of weakness
had passed and feeling a little ashamed for her behaviour. But he just kept looking at her,
that same quiet, intense gaze that drew her in and made her feel as if nothing could ever
harm her again.
So when he spoke, she was not surprised to hear him say, "You are not alone,
Usako." She could already feel that before he put it into words. Her friends around her,
her love before her – even should the world end in flames tomorrow, she knew that they
would be with her always.
"Usagi-chan, you won't have to fight by yourself." Minako touched her shoulder,
and Usagi managed a tremulous smile as she turned back to her friends. "We'll all be
there with you. That's probably one reason Queen Serenity couldn't defeat Beryl the first
time. She was fighting alone, but with us to back you up, there's no way we can lose!"
she exclaimed.
"Together forever. Isn't that how it goes?" Makoto said.
"Yes," Ami told her. "I like to think that even if we hadn't been drawn together as
Sailor Senshi, we would have found one another and become friends again, just as we
were in our past lives."
"Right, Ami-chan. That's the way to think." Rei applauded her. "You know I
could never pass up my chance to annoy Odango Atama in this life. Not even the grave
can keep me from you," Rei said in a scary voice, making a face at Usagi to match.
Usagi stuck her tongue out at Rei. "That's not very Princess-like, Usagi-chan,"
Luna reprimanded. Usagi stuck her tongue out at her, too. Then she smiled.
"Arigato, minna," she said softly. Her voice strengthened as she added, "Now
let's go kick Beryl's butt!"
"HAI!!" everyone chorused.
Shingo was *very* proud of his onee-chan.
* * * * *
Later at home, when everyone was eating dinner (Minako had come back with
Usagi), Shingo kept sneaking glances at his sister, trying to visualize her as the Princess
he knew she was. Trouble was, she acted like the same old Usagi, except for an
occasional lapse into brooding silence, which Minako quickly chivvied her out of. He
didn't think she'd noticed his covert looks in her direction, but when Usagi snapped
irritably, "Quit staring at me!" Shingo figured she was more worried than she let on.
After dinner, when Usagi was saying goodbye to Minako in the hall, Shingo
hobbled past them and upstairs, intending to corner Luna in Usagi's room and make her
tell him everything he didn't already know, which he figured might be quite a lot. He
froze at the top of the stairs as he heard Minako's voice drift up from the doorway.
Instantly fearing what her words must mean, he ran as best he could down the hall to his
sister's room, barging clumsily through the door and startling Luna from her catnap.
Before she could react, Shingo locked the door and all the windows, barring any escape
she might try. He advanced on the bed, where Luna crouched warily, watching his
every movement.
"Now," he stated, "you are going to tell me just *what* you're planning to do."
Luna only looked at him questioningly. She tried a plaintive sounding "Meow."
Shingo shook his head, never taking his eyes off her. "I don't think so," he told
her. "I want to know what Minako meant and you're going to tell me." Suddenly he
abandoned his crutches and jumped at the bed, arms outstretched. Luna yowled, and
leapt nimbly over Shingo, landing behind him amid the clutter on the floor. On the bed,
an empty-handed Shingo cursed, using words a ten-year-old shouldn't know (AN: But
most do, anyway), then tried for Luna again, using his good foot and the bed for a
springboard. He pushed off in Luna's direction, but she dodged again, and Shingo ended
up facedown in a pile of dirty clothes. He growled, tempted to just strangle Luna when
he caught her instead of trying to get information from her.
"Look," when force fails, attempt persuasion, "I know you can talk. I heard you
and Minako's cat, Artemis, yesterday at the temple. So it's useless to pretend you can't."
All the time, Shingo was crawling ever closer to Luna, very slowly so as not to scare her
away again. "And I know that Usagi's the Princess you were all searching for." Luna
gave a visible start at that. "So it's not like you're giving away national secrets. You're
planning something. I want to know what." Luna showed no sign of agreeing with his
carefully-thought-out reasoning. Shingo lunged at her again, and again she danced out of
his reach. He banged his fists on the floor in frustration, then rolled onto his back and
stared at the ceiling.
"She's my sister, dammit!" he yelled. "I deserve to know!" He sat up and looked
beseechingly at Luna, who was now back on the bed and looking down at him. "I heard
Minako. I heard what she said to Usagi. 'One way or another, Usagi, after tomorrow,
things will be settled forever.' That's what she said. What did she mean?" he pleaded.
Luna gave no reply, only stared at him with eyes full of sympathy and a curious sadness.
"What did she mean?!" He yelled it this time. He was scared he already knew what
Minako had meant, and Luna's continuing silence did nothing to allay that fear. "She's my
sister," he whispered, bowing his head. A tear slipped down his cheek, and he had to bite
his lip to hold back the others that wanted to follow it. "I want to help."
"You can't."
Shingo glanced up, wiping the tear away with the back of his hand. Luna stood
before him, seeming to measure him with her eyes. Whatever she saw, it was enough, for
she said, "It's up to the Senshi now. Not even Artemis and I can help. It is your sister's
fight."
"Isn't there *anything* I can do?" Shingo asked plaintively.
"You can pray. That's all any of us can do now."
* * * * *
They had decided that the offensive would begin early the next day, Luna had told
Shingo. So he set his alarm, and when, in the darkness before first light, Usagi crept past
his room and down the stairs, Shingo was already dressed and waiting. He followed her
and Luna at a discreet distance, not wanting to be caught and sent home. What he had to
say was too important.
As they came to the temple steps, Shingo shivered in the thin morning air. He
waited until Usagi had reached the top and disappeared from view, then started up
himself. When he had finally negotiated all those steps on his crutches (AN: You HAVE
to feel sorry for him), Shingo hid behind one of the columns of the Shinto arch and
watched the group gathered before the buildings. Only Usagi, Luna, Mamoru, Rei, Ami,
and Makoto were there. Minako and Artemis were missing.
None of them talked much as they waited for the tardy pair. They sat on or stood
around the temple steps, singly or in pairs. Rei was dressed in her priestess garb and held
a broom loosely in her hands. It gave the impression she was working, but she didn't use
it, being too preoccupied with her thoughts as she gazed out at the trees surrounding the
temple. Makoto was almost the same – quiet, abstracted, staring at the ground as if all
the mysteries of the universe were contained within the speck of dust she was apparently
studying intently. But all present knew she wasn't seeing what was before her, or thinking
of anything but what this day would soon bring. Ami and Luna were discussing last minute
plans in soft voices and fine-tuning details on pre-established ones. Usagi and Mamoru
just sat together on the steps, Usagi leaning against him, Mamoru with his arms around her.
They seemed to inhabit their own world, not caring, for the time being, to come back to
the one that depended on them. For one moment, that moment only, they could be with
each other and pretend that they were only another ordinary couple up early to watch a
sunrise. Since there was no time for regrets – the could have's, should have's, and why
didn't I's? – they didn't speak of them. They chose instead to make the most of the time
they *did* have, and talked of all they could think of, from the first time they had met in
this life to their first meeting in their previous lives. Shingo wasn't close enough to hear
what they said, but it was glaringly obvious that they were very much in love.
"It doesn't seem right, does it?"
Shingo whirled, startled, to find Minako standing behind him, Artemis draped
over her shoulder. She stood at the top of the stairs, and Shingo wondered how long
she'd been there, watching him.
"What do you mean?" he asked politely, not understanding her earlier question.
She nodded in Usagi's direction. "The Princess and her Prince. It's not fair that
they should find each other and risk losing everything all over again. You're wondering
why they're doing this, why we're all doing this." It was a statement this time, not a
question.
Shingo considered very carefully what he wanted to say. Minako wasn't quite
correct. In a way, he already understood the Senshi's decision. And he understood his
sister's reasons best of all.
"Usagi . . . " he started. "Well, she cares. About everything. Not just about you
and me and our families and friends. Or this city and its people. She loves everything on
this planet. She loves the world itself." He smiled a little sheepishly. "I know that
sounds extreme but . . . it's true. And she knows she's the only one who can protect us."
Shingo looked at Usagi sadly. "See, I *do* know why you're all doing this. You're just
like Usagi. You care, and you know you're the only ones who can do it."
Minako stared at him, showing her surprise that he did understand after all. She
looked at Artemis.
"If you understand, then why are you here?" he asked.
Shingo shrugged. "I have to tell Usagi something," he said, being deliberately
vague. Minako and Artemis waited, but when he refused to elaborate, Minako spoke.
"Then I guess we should go. They're waiting for us."
* * * * *
Shall I stop here? I could, ya know. I'm considering it. It's a good place to stop,
ne? Ah, but I haven't written everything that I wanted to fit into this part. But it's
already so long, much longer than I thought it would be. And yet, I never have set a length
limit for chapters, have I? OK, I'll shut up now and get on with the story. Just had to get
that out of my system.
* * * * *
When Ami and Luna abruptly cut their conversation short, Rei and Makoto were
roused from their introspection by the sudden silence, and looked to see what had
interrupted their thoughts. What they saw was Minako and Artemis striding towards
them, and limping along behind was – Shingo?
They stopped in front of the steps, and Artemis said, "I see everyone is here."
Luna sniffed indignantly. "You're late," she said haughtily.
"We had something to take care of." Minako glanced at Shingo.
"Onee-chan," Shingo called softly, when Usagi didn't appear to notice him right
away. Mamoru gave him a tiny smile and a slight nod of acknowledgment, then got
Usagi's attention for him.
"Shingo? What are you doing here?" She got up and went to him, hands on hips
as she attempted a righteous, older sister tone of voice. "You should be at home. Mom'll
freak when she finds you're not there."
"And you?" he tossed back. "Mom will be just as worried about you. She'd be
scared to death for you if she knew what I know," Shingo whispered.
Usagi hung her head, clenching her hands. "I know," she whispered back. "But I
have to go. And you can't tell her."
"Hai, demo – I needed to tell you something," he said.
"Nani?"
"Shinjiru . . . Sailor Moon wa shinjikomu!" He beamed.
Usagi looked up, at first surprised by Shingo's declaration of faith, then smiling as
brilliantly as he. She covered the few steps between them in a single bound (AN: another
corny bit I couldn't resist) and scooped him up in her arms.
"Arigato, Shingo-chan," she whispered, hugging him tight.
"Usako." Mamoru came up to them and touched her arm. "It's time."
"Hai." She let go of Shingo and led him to where Luna and Artemis were sitting
on the steps. The other girls crowded around as the cats cautioned them all to be careful
and to come back safe. They nodded, said all the brave things that people say just before
a battle to build up their courage, and moved away from each other.
"Minna!" Luna called. "Henshin yo!" The girls took out their transformation
pens and held them high.
"MERCURY POWER! MAKE UP!"
"MARS POWER! MAKE UP!"
"JUPITER POWER! MAKE UP!"
"VENUS POWER! MAKE UP!"
Usagi thrust her hand at the sky and Mamoru raised a red rose he had pulled from his
jacket to the heavens.
"MOON PRISM POWER! MAKE UP!"
Seconds later, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Usagi, and Mamoru were gone, and in
their places stood the Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo Kamen. The Senshi joined hands in a
circle, Tuxedo Kamen in the middle. The Senshi repeated their transformation phrases,
this time not saying the release words, just holding the power as it built up inside them.
Then they yelled together:
"SAILOR TELEPORT!"
The ground cracked with the force of the energy's release, and the Senshi and
Tuxedo Kamen disappeared in a swirl of color and a flash of light. The two cats and
Shingo were alone.
"Gambatte ne, minna-chan," Luna said. The three stared at the sky as the sun
peeked over the edge of the world, and dawn's first light illuminated the first day of the
beginning of the end.

End chapter 7
BIG sigh DOOONNNEE!!!!!! Longest chapter to date. Short stories don't count.
Time for DA DUM DE DUM Interesting Trivia! I know you all just can't *wait*!
Guess where I got the title from. Aww, c'mon! Guess! . . . that's a really lousy guess.
Don't ever guess when I tell you to. Hmm, it seems you won't get it if I don't tell you.
This title came from an episode of 'Magnum, P.I.' I know you've all heard of it. Tom
Selleck starred in this '80's series. I LUV IT!!! No disses, no flames. If you've ever
seen this episode and the others related to it, you'd understand. If not . . . I pity you.
But it fits.
The generals had to go. I considered just healing them, have them join the Senshi, then
kill them off later, but it was too much trouble for a story with only ten chapters.
Like how Minako and Artemis 'splained everything? No? Tough. It's manga-ish. They
knew who the princess was, but Venus passed herself off as the princess to protect Usagi.
Didn't I already say all this?
About everyone's attitudes – Shingo, Usagi, Luna, etc. – hope ya liked them. They seem
realistic to me, but I'm probably biased. Oh, and I think Shingo knows his sister well
enough to know what he's talking about when Minako and Artemis confront him.
That little bit after their talk? I went a little crazy. I'm sorry, and it will probably
happen again. I have serious problems. insert sunny smile here
They left like they left in ep. 45, only with the addition of Tuxedo Kamen and Shingo.
Let me apologize for last chapter's notes. Saturnus can be a little . . . well, *you* know.
Especially when she hasn't been out in so long. I had a hard time stuffing her back in the
trunk I usually keep her locked up in. She seems to like my new hobby. But her
problems are not mine. I'm just self-destructive. She'd like to take the whole world with
her when she goes. ^_^
Send all questions, comments, nuclear weapons – NO, Saturnus (ignore her) – and no
flames, please, to: maiyav@yahoo.com
