Now chapter 12~
"My Queen," Lita said, Getting on one knee. The other scouts and four pilots did the same. Duo just stood there and scratched his head.
"Who's the chick?" He asked Hotaru.
"Get on your knee you baka! She's my QUEEN!" Hotaru whispered.
"Oops!" Duo said, getting into a worshipping position. Hotaru gave him a small kick. Mina burst out laughing and Serenity giggled.
"My scouts," Serenity said. "The Moon Kingdom has been invaded and the only hope for my people is the silver crystal. It seems that I am living my mothers life out but I know I am doing the right thing. I will carry out my mission, but first I must uncover something hidden away for millions of years."
"No, Serena!!" Lita yelled. "You'll die."
"That is a risk I have to face, like the ones you faced everyday in your struggles to defeat Karma. Just look into the crystal. It will tell you everything you need to know."
The five scouts and the pilots look into the crystal. You can faintly hear Duo say a word that sounds suspiciously like "Shiny."
A blinding flash of light filled the area.
***Jupiter F/B***
"Hey kid," A tiny 3-year-old girl with wavy brown hair in a ponytail yelled. "Look out!!"
The small silver ball that had just flown from her hands hit the small boy with tremendous force.
"Hey watch it," He said coldly, turning to face the cowering princess. His face turned red. He swore softly and got on his knee. "I'm so sorry princess. I had no idea it was you."
"I might forgive you on one condition," The small princess said.
"And what is that?" The Boy with perussion eyes and unruly brown hair asked.
"You have to play with me!" She grabbed his wrist and dragged him to the castle.
***ten years later***
"Come on Heero!" Lita says. "Pwease!" she gives him the dreaded puppy dog face.
"I can't ice skate," Heero says.
"We live on Jupiter. We are visiting my best friend on the moon. I think that you CAN ice skate."
"Hn."
"I'm going to take that as a yes," Lita took Heero's hand and dragged him onto the rink. Lita twirled away. 'She looks so beautiful. Like a princess from a jewelry box…'
After a few fancy spins, she goes back to Heero, being sure to spray him with ice. She laughs.
"Come on Heero," She smiles. "Take my hand." Heero hesitates. "Come on. You're not going to be able to do anything if you won't let other people help you. People need people."
He took her hand.
***Venus F/B***
"I don't wanna!" A short girl with blond hair cried. "I don't wanna take a bath!"
"Please princess," The servant said. "Your mother orders it. You know we have a very important dinner with the Winners and you must look nice."
The servant struggled to get her dressed but on the way to dinner, the princess wandered off, only to return with a big smile, torn dress, and grubby face.
"Mina," Her Mother, Queen Aphrodite said. "Why do you do this every time. And here come the Winners. Just stay there."
The queen turned to face the Winners, a noble family that was part of the royal court on Neptune. They were there to raise their youngest son, since his 29 sisters were grown up and settled throughout the universe.
The two adults bowed. "Greetings, Queen Aphrodite and King Eros. I want to thank you for taking us in to your home."
"Please," King Eros said. "We are happy to help such a noble family."
"Well then," Queen Aphrodite said. "Lets get you settled."
"My names Mina," The princess said to the blond boy about a year older then her. "Wanna go outside and play in the mud?"
"Okay!" The cheerful blond replied. "I'm Quatre Rababa Winner!"
***ten years later***
"I don't wanna!" Mina cried. "What's the point! It's not like I'm ever going to like any of them!"
"Calm down Mina," Her mother said. "Maybe you'll meet your prince here. Then you can have your fairy-tale romance."
Mina just smiled, thinking of Quatre. 'Maybe I already have…'
***Mars F/B***
The tiny princess of the flame sat in front of the sacred fire. "Please, Fire, Tell me of the coming War. My mother can no longer read your flames and the battle is coming closer. Please show me, Sacred Fire."
Rei sat in front of the fire chanting when a Chinese boy around her age walked in.
"What do you want?" she said.
"I am here to light the incense," He said, his has clutching the bag of incense and his eyes closed, as if wishing to be anywhere but there.
"You should have knocked," Rei said. "You shouldn't be in here."
"Neither should you," the boy said.
"Just light your stupid incense and get out."
"Fine," said the boy. He put the end of the stick in the fire, said a prayer, and but it in the dish. The aroma of honeysuckle and rosemary filled the shrine.
"I'm sorry about what I said," Rei said sheepishly. "I'm just not in the best of moods, with the threat of war and all." Tears began to pour down her face. "What's your name?"
"Chang WuFei," He said, wiping away her tears. "And I'm going to train and get strong so I can protect your kingdom when the battle comes. So you don't need to worry. I'll protect you."
***ten years later***
"Take that back Fei-chan!!" Rei yelled, her raven hair flowing behind her as she chased WuFei through the garden.
"Never!" He yelled. "'Cause if I said you were not weak it would be a lie!"
Rei tripped over her dress and got tangled up in a bush. 'How the heck can I run in this thing anyway!'
"WuFei!" Rei yelled. "I'm stuck!"
"Weak," WuFei muttered as he yanked her out of the bush. Once she was on her feet she took him down with a roundhouse kick and sat on him.
"Sucker," She whispered into his ear.
***Mercury F/B***
A small girl with short blue hair sat beside a small pond. She made tiny circles in the pond, sending ripples through the silvery water. Suddenly a figure appeared beside her reflection. She turned around.
"Who are you?" Ami asked.
"My name is Trowa Barton," The boy said. He had brown hair that covered one emerald green eye. "I am here to watch over you, Princess of Mercury." He bowed as he spoke.
"Hello, Trowa," Ami said cheerfully. "I appreciate your protection but really it is not needed. Unlike other planets, Mercury is a place where people are peaceful and I believe that there is no need to give extra measures of protection to people who are royal."
"Wise words for a three year old," Trowa said, peering at her with curiosity. "But my orders were to watch over you. How did you know I've been to other planets?"
"Oh," Ami blushed slightly. "Well my mother told me your father was part of the royal court of Jupiter."
"Oh," Trowa just stood there. "If you want I can go. Your orders are higher then those of the royal guards."
"No," Ami said. "Please stay."
***ten years later***
"Stalemate."
"Another tie," said the Queen of Mercury. "You two are truly amazing."
"Thank you, my Queen," Trowa stood and bowed deeply to Queen Bayou.
"There is no need," The Queen said. "You are a honored guest in this house. Princess Ami adores you company, so feel free to come any time you like."
Trowa looked at the blushing princess and smiled. "I just might take you up on that offer."
***Saturn F/B**
It was the day after Saturn refused to join the dark kingdom. Death and Destruction covered the planet for as far as you could see. The small princess of this barren planet stood in a now destroyed village, a bunch of lilacs clenched in her tiny hands. She approached a weeping boy standing over an lifeless body.
"She's gone," the boy said.
"I'm sorry," the girl said.
"Don't be. It's my fault." The boy said. "Leave. Get away from me before you die, too."
"You can't destroy me." The girl said. "I am Destruction, after all."
"And I am Death." The small boy stood up. "Come with me Destruction." The girl took his hand. "Never leave me."
***ten years later***
The kingdom of Saturn was slowly being rebuilt and the once dark planet was becoming more and more beautiful.
"Wait up, Duo," Hotaru yelled, chasing after a figure in black with a long chestnut brown braid.
"It's not my fault you're slow!" He shouted, sticking out his tongue.
"You'd be slow too if you had to wear a dress!" She yelled back.
He waited for her to catch up and grabbed her wrist, then took off again.
He practically dragged her into a clearing.
"Oh," She growled, wiping dirt and leaves from her lavender dress. "I'll get you for that one, Shiniga—" She stopped short when she saw her surroundings. Duo had a large grin on his face when he saw her reaction. She stood in a field full of nearly every flower imaginable. Rose, tulips, narcissus, sakura, huge lilac bushes, and others. It was beautiful, and smelt like a florist's heaven.
"Beautiful, Duo," She exclaimed. "Although I never used to think of you as the gardening type…it's kinda…"
"Say the word and feel the wrath of Shinigami," He said, grinning widely.
"Fine," She said, smelling a rose. "Although it does seem…FRUITY!!" Hotaru took off through the field of pansies with Duo at her heels, flower petals flying in every direction.
***end of flashbacks***
"My scouts," Neo-Queen Serenity said with a smile. "When the Negaverse attacked they placed a curse on you. They said that if the scouts ever fell in love with the pilots the Negaverse would be freed and that they would defeat the Princess of the Moon, but I do not care. Be happy." Suddenly Darien appeared beside her. He placed a white rose in her hair in pulled her into a warm hug. Then they disappeared.
"No," Lita yelled. "Serena!"
She began to cry into Heero's chest. Hotaru was frantic. 'This isn't right. This isn't supposed to happen. Not to Serena…'
Hotaru clenched her hands into fists. "This isn't right!"
Hotaru clutched her transformation pen. "SATURN COSMOS POWER!" In a flurry of White feathers and purple ribbons, Eternal Sailor Saturn appeared before the nine soldiers.
"Hotaru," Duo said.
"Thank you, Shinigami," said Saturn. "Thank you for everything. Now I have to go. My place is beside my queen, even if it means my death."
"No," Duo said.
"We're going with you," said Lita.
"No," said Saturn. "You can only get in the way. After all, why would you want to get killed in a battle that you did nothing to help."
"She's right," said Heero, placing a hand on Lita's shoulder. "Good luck, Sailor Saturn."
"No," Duo said. He put his arms around Hotaru. "Please don't go. Don't leave me."
"I'm sorry, Duo," She said. "I will not let Serenity kill herself so that we can be happy. That is not the point of protecting someone. When you protect some one, you don't want anything in return. I cannot watch her die when I'm the only one who can protect her. Goodbye, Duo-chan. Thank you for everything."
"Pluto, Guardian of Time. Open the gates so that I may pass through, and return to the time where I once belonged."
A flash of light filled the area and Hotaru was gone.
'Thank you, Duo, for being so perfect. You changed me forever. But now I have to leave you. I'm sorry. The cards of love always used to run away. The ace of heart or the joker. I always chose the joker, and still do.'
Hotaru landed in Crystal Tokyo. Or at least what was left of it. Neo-Queen Serenity stood in the center of it, Silver crystal raised, fighting Beryl. King Endomyon (sp?) standing by her side.
"Serenity!" Hotaru yelled. "Get in the castle! I'm taking over the fight."
"But Duo…and the curse!" Serenity said. "Go back. This is not your fight!"
"I don't believe in curses," Hotaru said. "Forgive me, my queen." She knocked out Serena with the end of her glaive and threw her to Darien. "Leave." Darien ran to the protection of the castles enchanted walls.
"It doesn't matter," Beryl hissed. "You're already dead, and so is your princess. Because you five have found you true loves, your princess is dead."
"And if I'm dead, I guess I can't be in love any more," Hotaru said, smiling innocently. She turned the glaive to face herself and plunged it into her chest. "Tag along with me, on my journey into darkness."
There was a large blast of energy and Beryl, along with Eternal Sailor Saturn crumbled.
Duo clutched his heart and screamed out. Blinding pain was all he felt. The symbol of Saturn that was once so bright burst into a thousand pieces and disappeared. "Hotaru…"
And so, with a happy ending almost at hand, life plays one of it's little tricks.

Rhythm Emotion- Gundam Wing
I just feel "rhythm emotion"
The beating of my heart connected to you so far away
I don't care if I'm hurt any more
Without turning my eyes away
I want to live passionately
I want to hold you because you give me the strength to never give up.
I just feel "rhythm emotion"
The mistakes and the pain
Guided me to one clear moment of light
I just feel "rhythm emotion"
The beating of my heart connected to you so far away
I want to experience the present on my bare skin
I want to find more gentleness
Bring back the miracle of my childhood days when everything sparkled
I just feel "rhythm emotion"
We feel and understand each other's pain
We believe in the warmth
I just feel "rhythm emotion"
I want to make you feel the truth of my passion
with this kiss
So far away...
