Chapter 4
Dimension SM
A blinding white light faded from Usagi's eyes, and she was suddenly standing in the arcade. It was totally wrecked, and Motoki was lying unconscious on the floor. She was in her senshi form, and so Usagi picked him up and brought him to the hospital. He was in a coma for two weeks before finally waking up.
Many years later, the senshi still wondered what had happened to their leader during that short time between the end of the battle and her reappearance, but they never questioned it. Iie, they were good little senshi, and they would never do something like that.
Endymion didn't care. She was back with him, and that was all that mattered. He and Usagi were eventually wed, ruled Crystal Tokyo, and had a daughter who they named Chibi-Usagi after her mother.
Usagi lived a long life, and died at the ripe old age of 100.
AN: If you think that's actually the ending I would write, or the one that you prefer, stop here. Otherwise, read the rest of the story and see what other crazy things I'll come up with. (In other words, JUST KIDDING!)

"What'd ya mean, 'There's nothing you can do?' C'mon Trowa, we need them! You have to do something!" Duo was angry, and it was quite audible in his voice. Trowa's answer was much more composed.
"Duo, they are comatose. Neither I nor you can do anything aside from keeping them alive long enough for them to decide to wake up." Duo started towards him, when suddenly, a bright white light filled the room.
Gradually, the brightness faded from their eyes. Duo, Trowa, and Wufei gasped as two people appeared in the room. The first was a tall man with blonde hair and deep sapphire eyes. He was dressed in an elegant white suit with a faint glow to it. He was holding a yellow rose in front of his face, and petals danced around him. However, it was the woman standing next to the man who shocked them most.
Her face was extremely serene, though her eyes were closed. She was dressed in a glowing silver gown that glimmered as though made of dancing moonbeams. It had a tight bodice but flowed out to her ankles in layers of fabric. The spaghetti straps and low neckline accentuated the beautiful package that was her body. Her hair was as long as her dress and it shone silver from the meatballs it was tied up in. Clasped in her hands were three roses, one white, one yellow, and one a brilliant shade of scarlet. An air of grace and tranquillity flowed from her and filled the room. The three had only a moment to stare at her before she collapsed to the floor.
"Serenity!" The man screamed, dropping his rose and rushing to her, catching her just before she hit the ground. He quickly checked for a pulse and then began to speak to her in a quiet voice, his lips near her ear. "Renity, we just found you, you're not allowed to leave us yet! Wake up, please! You can't do this to me, Quat, and Heero as soon as we finally locate each other again."
"Who are you?" Wufei asked. "And why are you going all to pieces over that weak woman?"
"That woman is not weak." Quatre's voice was stronger than usual, commanding almost. His sudden speech drew the eyes of his fellow pilots, who were stunned by his appearance. Quatre's Arabian clothing had been transformed into a suit similar to that of the stranger,
although his was purest silver, the cloth seeming to be the same as the woman. In his hand were a yellow and a white rose. "She is the strongest person in the universe, male or female, and you would do good to remember that."
"Quatre!" Duo announced. "Man, what happened to you? Trowa said you were comatose, whatever that means."
"First things first." Quatre told him. He moved over to where the woman, Serenity the stranger had called her, lay and started to talk to her as well. "Renity, Renity, you know what? If you wake up right now, I won't ever complain again about your hairstyle. I swear, not even as a random joke once in a while. Just please, please, wake up."
The stranger turned to face him. "Quatre, is there anything we can do for her?"
"I don't know Motoki, I really hope so. Trowa, would you get a wet cloth for her forehead please? Duo and Wufei, I'd really appreciate it if you'd keep an eye on Heero for a while." Quatre glanced up from his staring at the woman while the three were shocked into following his commands. "This shouldn't have happened. Mother said our dimensional move here would be instantaneous, why is it affecting them like this?"
"I wish I knew. Maybe it's just a reaction to their memories coming back. I'm certain you remember how deep the feelings went, how strong they were. If we hadn't already been unconscious, I'm not so sure we wouldn't have ended up just like this. Besides, real love is stronger than the love of siblings, and they definitely had a lot of memories to regain." Motoki smiled at his younger sibling. "It's great to see you again in real life, Quatre. Guess Renity chose right."
"Was there ever any doubt?" Quatre replied. "She always was the smartest of the three of us."
Trowa re-entered the room and handed the cloth to Quatre. Duo and Wufei, who had been shocked into submission, suddenly regained their voices. Wufei turned to finally look at Heero, as did Duo. Both of them gasped. Heero looked extremely handsome, and was now dressed in a pale gray suit with a white shirt. His right hand was entwined with a red rose. More shocking even then this was his face. It held an expression of genuine peace and happiness, something neither Duo nor Trowa had ever seen or expected to see there.
"Hey, Quatre, what's going on here?" Duo asked. "How did your clothes change, and what about Heero's? Do you know these two people? And you, mister, how'd you get here?"
"I'm sorry." The stranger apologized. "My name is Motoki, and this is my younger sister, Serenity. Quatre is Renity's twin. As to how we got here and the clothing change, that's a much longer story."
"We have time." Wufei stated. The three boys' already shocked expressions had grown even stranger when Motoki told them Quatre was a twin. All of their attention was completely focused on the three, and they were blatantly ignoring Heero, who not five minutes ago
had been the center of their concerns. Quatre left the woman's side to watch over Heero, putting his faith in Motoki's abilities to take care of his sister.
"Quatre, what year is it here?" Motoki asked. Eyebrows were raised, but surprise kept the pilots quiet.
"It's after colony 196, so the Millennium was about two thousand years ago." Quatre responded simply.
"OK, then our story begins about two thousand five hundred years ago. A time of great peace filled all of outer space. It was named the Silver Millennium. During this peace, civilizations developed on all of the various planets, including the Moon of Earth. The Moon became a symbol of peace, and was the leading force in the creation of an alliance between the planets known as the Silver Alliance. As with most places, the Moon had a royal family, and the head of this family ruled over the Alliance and the Millennium. It came to pass that the royal families of the Sun and Moon merged through the marriage of Hyperion of the Sun and Serenity of the Moon." Motoki paused and took a deep breath, checking Serenity's pulse again. Quatre took over the telling of the tale.
"The kingdom that they created was known as the Moon-Star Kingdom, for at that time the Sun held dominion over all of the stars in the universe. Hyperion and Serenity were very happy with what had been created, as were the rest of the people. They had three children, the oldest was Motoki -" Quatre paused and glanced at his brother. "And they also had a set of twins, a daughter they named Serenity and a son they named Quatre."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Are you saying that you -" Duo pointed at Quatre "And these two -" he indicated Motoki and Serenity "are not only all related, but are the children of some long gone kingdom from a couple thousand years ago?" Quatre nodded. "Cool! But if that's true, how are you here?"
"Shut up for a minute weakling and maybe they'll tell you." Wufei said. The braided one snorted and leaned back against the wall.
"One day, a great evil called Metallia came. It slew the mighty Hyperion, and his son Motoki who was fighting bravely beside him. Then Metallia attacked the Moon Kingdom." Quatre's voice quivered as he recalled his father and brother's death, as well as his own. "Metallia was strong, and the attack was unexpected. Before Queen Serenity managed to lock away the evil with the magnificent power of her Silver Crystal, both twins, their protectors, their loves, and almost everyone on the Moon or any planet aside from Earth was destroyed. With the last of her strength, she sent all of those killed by Metallia into the future to be reborn."
"Something unexpected happened though." Motoki's voice cut in quietly. "For some unknown reason, the Crystal separated the people into two dimensions, to be forever separated until the day when she who was destined to rule over all dimensions, times, and spaces, was ready to accept herself, her powers, and her destiny. That time came only a few short hours ago, when Serenity accurately pulled together her feelings of her past life and this life, at long last reuniting all of us in the dimension we were intended to be born again in."
"That weak woman is destined to rule over us all!" Wufei interjected. "I don't believe it. She couldn't even handle the journey here without collapsing."
"You still haven't explained the changes to Heero." Trowa remarked quietly.
"Heero was the prince of Earth, and he and Serenity were in love during the Silver Millennium. He was visiting her on the Moon the day of the attack, and perished with us." None of the other three pilots could stop their jaws from dropping at Quatre's statement.
"Serenity…" A weak mumble from Heero's direction caught their attention.
The Realm of Dreaming
A bright white light flashed before their eyes, and Usagi felt a tremendous ripping sensation. She faded for a moment before reappearing in her astral form. Heero looked at her, and for a moment the mask of his eyes dropped, revealing tranquillity and joy. He walked over and held her in a tight embrace (hug) as the memories raced through their minds. There was so much to their history!
The first meeting… Serenity had been required to welcome all of the new delegates to the Moon, as they were all the future rulers of their planets. Even though Motoki was the oldest, the Silver Crystal always chose the oldest female to rule. From the moment the handsome boy with the Prussian eyes walked into the room, they both knew it was meant to be. He had given her the traditional courtesies, but had not smiled or shown any interest in her. Still, she somehow knew that he wasn't the type to do such things. The prince, Heero was his name, was not a very vocal person, and Serenity knew it.
The confession of feelings… Heero and Serenity had met in the garden to discuss plans for Earth's joining the Alliance. As they were strolling past the roses, Serenity had paused to enjoy their smell. When she had turned to offer him one, he had taken it, but did not let go of her hand. She had stared deep into his eyes, and an understanding had passed unspoken between them.
Faster and faster the images whirled before them, showing each and every time they had ever been together or apart. Serenity could now
recall all of her lessons and instruction, and Heero finally understood what it was that had made him so quiet. His face actually held a sad
expression as he recalled the painful memory, and Serenity nestled closer to him as it transcended her mind.
Finally, the memory they knew was coming arrived. Serenity and Heero were out in the garden. The day had been passed pleasantly talking, or in Heero's case sitting, with all of Serenity's guards and family. They had all been among the roses once again, picnicking. They had taken a group picture of Usagi and those closest to her heart holding roses. Motoki held a yellow rose, Quatre had both a yellow
and a white rose, Heero grasped a red rose, and Serenity clutched one of each color. Afterwards, Heero and Serenity went out for a walk. They never came back. Beryl had attacked them first, but Heero dove in front of Serenity and saved her. He died in her arms, and she, in tremendous grief, had killed herself with the small dagger he constantly kept in the pocket of his jacket.
"You shouldn't have done that." Heero scolded her. "You should have just forgotten about me Serenity. Life is something that's cheap, especially my life."
She just held him tighter. "I could never have forgotten you. You're too important to me, always have been and always will be."
"Serenity…" his voice came out as a whisper. "You're the only person who's ever completely understood me. I'm glad you're back."
"My Heero…" Serenity sighed. "We should probably go back. They'll be worrying about us now."
Heero didn't answer aloud, merely closed his eyes and vanished back to where he had come from. Serenity shrugged softly, then giggled.
"Same old Heero." She said before winking out after him.

"Serenity…" A weak mumble from Heero's direction caught their attention. He sat up swiftly and looked for her, but Quatre pushed him back down.
"Heero…" Serenity's beautiful cerulean eyes opened to find Motoki staring down at her. "You're not Heero."
"Renity, gods, you scared us! What happened?" Motoki looked at her urgently, but she was too busy looking around her new surroundings.
"Duo! Trowa! Wufei!" She said happily, and sprang to her feet in spite of Motoki's protesting arms trying to hold her down. As she ran and gave a hug to each one, she proclaimed, "I'm so happy you guys made it here too!"
