Sailor Moon Eternal Stars: Chapter 1

On Earth...

Tsukino Usagi looked at herself in the mirror, smoothed out her deep blue dress, and smiled. "Well, what do you think of the new dress, Luna? Do you think he'll like it," she asked.

Slowly, the cat curled-up on the bed behind Usagi opened her eyes and smiled, then she answered the question put forth, "Of coarse, he will like it. He likes whatever you wear." He smiled grew as she continued, "However, he will no doubt enjoy the fact that the dress you are wearing matches the color of his eyes.

Usagi face lit up. "The color of the Earth's oceans," she added absently. Then a serious mask over came her face. She turned around to face Luna, and seriously said, "You should go you know."

Luna smiled at how grown-up Usagi sounded; she sounded like the queen she was to become. "It's okay Usagi, I don't need to be there."

"But, Luna, it's a party for my birthday and my engagement."

"It's only a party."

"But, Luna, you are part of my family. You should be there."

"No, Usagi, don't worry about me. You go to the party and have fun. Go, be with the rest of your loved ones. I'll be waiting here, beside there is still your wedding. Nothing in the world could make me miss that."

Usagi turned and solemnly sighed, "I just wish the Starlights and the princess could come join us."

This was getting too serious. To break the dire mood, Luna jokingly put in, "I may not be there, but if you can spare a piece from that bottomless pit you call a stomach, can you bring me some cake?"

Usagi laughed at the light joke, and Luna smiled again. Then Usagi looked at the clock and groaned. "I'm so late, everyone's going to kill me."

Luna just sighed heavily as Usagi ran out the door. As she fell back to sleep she thought that no matter how grown up she was now, she would always be the same.

Ten minutes later, a small group stood outside one of the most prestige restaurants in Tokyo, the Jupiter Lounge, owned by one of the most prestige chefs, Kino Makoto. She looked at her watch and shook her head making her chestnut ponytail sway.

"She's late again, isn't she, Makoto," said the dark haired woman standing next to her.

Yeah, Rei, she's late again," answered Makoto, "but she not that late." She smiled when she was rewarded with her friend's frustrated expression. Ever since she knew Usagi and Hino Rei, they were always arguing. It confirmed how good friends they were.

"Hey, guys, I think I see her flying blonde hair in the parking lot," said an intelligent looking blue-black haired woman.

"Are you sure, Ami," asked the tall black haired man standing next to her.

"Well, fairly sure, Mamoru-san," Ami said. Everyone stared at her in disbelief. Mizuno Ami, only 'fairly sure', the one who was sure about all the information she gave. It was almost unthinkable.

Mamoru took another look at the blonde running towards him and the rest from the parking lot and knew immediately that it was definitely not his fiancée, Usagi. He said as much to the women.

The women turned towards him and, after seeing the knowing look on his eyes, nodded in agreement. Only Chiba Mamoru would know if it was really Usagi or not. It could be only one other person...

"Hey, guys, sorry I'm late," huffed a beautiful young woman with long blonde hair.

...Aino Minako.

"Hi, Minako," greeted the others.

Just then another dust cloud appeared from the parking lot area in front of then. It cleared to reveal a petite woman. She had blonde hair done in an odd style of two round balls of hair on her head followed by two flowing ponytail. "Hi everyone, sorry. I ran a little late."

"Hi, Usagi," said the woman. "Hello, Usako," said Mamoru.

"Usagi's smiled at the group gathered. When her eyes focused on Mamoru, her grin grew. Mamoru grinned at her also, and then took a better look at the dress she was wearing. He's grin grew at the sight. Nothing was said between the couple but they continued to grin at each other.

Finally fed up, Rei grabbed Usagi and pulled her into the restaurant. "Come on, everyone is waiting," she said. The others just followed the two giggling.

Once inside, Usagi saw that everyone was there. Even Ten'ou Haruka, Kaiou Michiru, Tomoe Hotaru, and Meiou Setsuna were there. Usagi was glad that they could be there. She only saw the four of them once and a while. She would like to see all her friends more often than she did nowadays. And I will, she thought. Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, and Setsuna walked up to her.

"Happy Birthday, odango," said Haruka, a tall woman with short dusty blonde hair.

"And congratulations to you both Usagi and Mamoru," said Michiru, an aquamarine haired woman standing besides Haruka.

"Yes, congratulations," said Hotaru, a short black haired young woman.

"And best wishes," finished Setsuna, a green black haired woman.

"Thank you, everyone," Usagi said with glistening eyes.

"Well, come on, let the party begin," Minako said to lighten the mood. The others agreed with an enthusiastic yes. They all walked to and sat at the main table along with Furuhata Motoki, Mamoru's best friend from the arcade. He was to be Mamoru's best man at the wedding.

The party was going great; it was perfect. Everyone was happy. Just like the last five and half years. Nothing had really happened since the battle with Galaxia. As a matter of fact, the years following the battle were very different for everyone, but especially for Usagi. She realized that she needed to grow-up, and she decided that the present was the best time for that to happen.

She finished high school and went on to college. There she studied political science--she figured that as the future monarch of Crystal Tokyo she needed to know what was going to go on in politics.

Back in junior high and in high school, she wasn't very good with studies, but she found out that political science was the subject for her. She began to excel in her studies of political science; she even managed to finish with her studies early. Everyone was shocked at her first, but then the girls figured that maybe when she was the princess back on the moon she actually did listen to some of the lessons that were given to her to prepare her to inherit the crown. However, it was still a shock. People finally realized that she was growing up, every one was proud, especially her mother, Tsukino Isako. Even her father had to admit that she wasn't his little girl anymore.

At the thought of her father, she smiled as she remembered when her father first formally met Mamo-chan. Mamo-chan was not one of her father's favorite persons. Mamoru was taking his little girl away; Tsukino Kenji did not like that idea. Even today, when Usagi was all grown up and could make her own choices, he found it hard to let go. It is believable that her father blames Mamo-chan for Usagi's maturing and still speaks with tension in his words. But no matter how uncivilly her father speaks to him because of his wild belief, Mamo-chan speaks calmly and collectively to her father.

Towards the end of the party, Motoki stood to give the toast to the happy couple. He began, "I remember you two when you guys couldn't stand each other, and now here I am toasting you two to have the greatest happiness in your marriage life, who would have thought it," Mamoru and Usagi began to blush, Satisfied with their reaction, Motoki continued with his speech, "But here I am now, and you two are getting married, and I must admit I am happy about that. Well, here is to the happy couple, may they have a long and happy marriage."

At that last statement, Rei, Ami, Minako, Makoto, and Hotaru giggled, while Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna just smile. The rest of the quests gave confused looks because of the women's inappropriateness; how could they treat the toast for their friends' happiness so lightly. However, Usagi and Mamoru didn't think that it was an insult; she just giggled and he just smiled.

Motoki felt that the rest at the table were hiding a big secret; but, just when he was going to ask what the big secret was, the doors to the restaurant flew open. There in the doorway, were three shadowed figures.

Everyone turned their heads towards the door, wondering who the three uninvited quests were. The people seated at the main table, with the exception of Motoki, gasped as they recognized whom the figures were. A sudden shudder went through Motoki. He looked side to side at the others at the table. He noticed everybody tense all of a sudden. Boy is the tension thick here, Motoki thought.

Quickly, Haruka and Michiru stood, ready to fight. "What are you doing here," asked Haruka with venom in her voice. Motoki felt how agitated Haruka was.

"We were sent," said one of the figures in a male voice.

"By whom," asked Setsuna quietly as she slowly rose to her feet. Motoki was amazed; Setsuna was holding herself back. Of what he knew of her, she was always calm and collected. Motoki also noticed Hotaru starting to rise slowly. The four that were on their feet seemed to be inching their way towards the invaders.

"She sent us," said another male. Motoki wondered who 'she' was, but the rest at the table seemed to not wonder, but know.

"Why were you sent," asked Rei. She was inching her way closer to Usagi, as if to protect her. Motoki then noticed that the others--Ami, Minako, and Makoto--were inching their ways closer to Usagi. His eyes feel on Mamoru, and noticed that he too had protection of Usagi on his mind. Why, thought Motoki, why do they want to protect her; they act as if these guys are invaders from another planet.

The women had other thoughts on their minds. They thought that if those men were here, then danger was not far behind. They would do anything to protect Usagi. The women thought back to the last time that the figures standing at the door were here, and didn't like the thought that they couldn't protect Usagi that time. This time, however, would be different. They would not fail this time.

Usagi could see the tension between the two groups was deepening. It didn't make her feel good about this situation. This was critical; Usagi needed to so something to defuse the problem. After years of study, she quickly went into her diplomat mode. In a matter-of-factly voice, she said, "Of coarse, she would send them, she knows this is an important day for me." She looked at the invaders and asked, "Isn't that not the reason."

Motoki noticed the hesitation of the invaders nod. For some reason he had the feeling that they were all hiding something. He was curious, very, very curious.

"Please take a seat. Sorry, but you missed most of the festivities," Usagi then added in a diplomatic voice, "We will talk and catch up later." Then she gave a severe look at the four who were set on fighting the invaders and said in the same tone as before, "Please sit down, Haruka...Michiru...Hotaru...Setsuna."

Motoki sensed an undertone along with the tone that most people heard. The undertone was said in a queenly voice. It was as if she was just asking them to do it, but knew they would tale it as an order. The four close to the three invaders heard it also.

The four turned to look at Usagi, and saw the look on her face. They quickly, but nonchalantly, took their seats again. The eight women at the table, especially the four that seemed bent on a fight, seemed to keep a sharp eye on the three men began to come out of the shadows. The eyes dared the three to do something.

When it was seen whom the invaders were, most of the younger people gasped. Motoki concentrated on where he had seen those faces, and then it dawned on him. He seemed to recall a band group of three young men--The Threelights, he believed--that had been very popular. Kou Seiya, Kou Yaten, and Kou Taiki--three cousins--had disappeared about five years ago, he remembered. Nobody really knew what had happened. Why have they returned, and why did he have this funny feeling about them, Motoki thought. For the rest of the party he and the others, except for Usagi, kept an eye of the three men.

Usagi was keeping an eye out, but not on the Threelights. She couldn't, she was to busy making sure that her misguided protectors didn't start another Sailor War.
