Chapter 2—Intergalactic – Memories and revelations (Into a new reality)
This takes place before the sailor scouts found out who the Moon Princess is.

***************************************************
Tessa found herself in some weird corridor with dense fog surrounding her. On both sides of her were large doors. On her right was one of the most beautiful one she had ever seen. It was made of silver with engraved crescent moons on it. On her left side was another door even more beautiful than the first. It was made of pure crystal with the symbol of earth and moon in gold. She was about to cry out to ask where she was when a hand fell on her shoulder and she screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Tessa, it's me. Are you alright?"
"Mars, admit it. You will never be able to defeat me!"
"Don't bet on it you baka." Mars jumped into the air and threw a flying kick at her opponent. With a fluent move of her legs, the opponent got out of the way. She returned Mar's attack while Mars was still trying to get back her coordination. Mars never saw the punch coming and fell down with a loud thud.
"Ow, that hurt, meat-ball head." Lying on the ground Sailor Mars put her hands on her sides as the pain started to throb while staring evilly at the blonde with the weird hairdo.
The loud fall caught the attention of Ami and Luna who were diligently discussing Sailor matters. When Luna saw Sailor Mars on the ground she almost fell from the surprise.
"Serena good job. Maybe the way you are training we will be able to find the Moon Princess soon."
"Luna, the meatball head just won by a fluke of accident."
"Rei is just jealous that I won and she fell on her face." Serena nearly jumped around and danced with joy. Her dignity was short lived as she tripped on a stray branch and fell face down right next to Rei.
The fall put laughter in the air as everyone laughed at Serena's expense.
Setsuna watched the practice of Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, and Sailor Moon. Standing at the roof top of the Hikawa Temple Sailor Pluto watched as the two of the inner guardians of the princess checked to see if there was anyone around to see them detransform. She was still musing on the future of the Sailor sensei when a sharp pain racked her head. She almost cried out in pain and gave away her hideout. "Oh no someone is trespassing in the Time Corridors." With that she opened up the Time portal and stepped into the Time stream.
"Tommy where are we? Why does this place look so familiar to me?"
"I don't know where we are Tessa, but I do know we should get out."
The two were just about to head towards the silver doors with the crescent moons on it, when a powerful voice stopped them dead in their tracks.
"For your unauthorized use of the time corridors, you will be punished."
Tessa and Tommy spun around in surprise. A lady with long green hair stood there. She was dressed in a scanty sailor uniform and held what looked like a large key.
Tessa and Tommy nearly fainted. But it was Tessa who regained her composure first and mumbled almost incoherently. "Sailor Pluto."
When Sailor Pluto heard Tessa she decided to wait and see what these trespassers were up to and how they knew her name. "Who are you, and how dare you come here without my permission." Pluto shifted in to attack stance with her staff pointing at the two intruders.
In response to Pluto, Tessa just held up her henshin stick, which seemed to react with the garnet rod in Sailor Pluto's hands. The garnet orb and the gem on Tessa's henshin stick pulsated at the same beat. Pluto was shocked to the core, until she took a closer look at the henshin stick. This time it was Pluto who almost lost it. The shock on her face registered to the others and made them even more uneasy.
"We are sorry to have intruded sensei all we really want is to go back home." Tessa pleaded. While inside she was amazed that the stories of Sailormoon were actually true. It sure put a new twist on the origins and history of Earth.
Pluto after a moment lowered her staff and relaxed. "I am not the one who controls where you go child. You came here on your own. I can only show you to your true home."
Pluto's comment of their 'true home' left Tessa and Tommy with an uneasy feeling inside.
Tessa's mind asked. Still in shock at being thrust into a new dimension Tessa and Tommy just started as Pluto explained their situation to them.
"My name is Sailor Pluto. I am the guardian of Time." Sailor Pluto's tiara disappeared and her symbol glowed in the foggy corridor of time. "You, thought you may not remember it, belong the dimension where you don't live. I am going to assume that since you know my name, you also posses some knowledge of the Silver Millennium." At the slight nod from Tommy and Tessa Pluto continued. "We were born in a time when the universe was a peace and the Silver Millennium was at its height." With this she pointed to the silver door Tessa and Tommy had noticed earlier. "The door to the Silver Millennium were opened by Queen Serenity to send the court of her daughter into the future. Since then the doors have been sealed. You left the Silver Millennium a short time before its tragic end. When the Queen sent you she left it you find your own way to the future, but you took yourself to another dimension. Do you remember any of this, for it is important that you know your place is with the princess." Pluto let the information sink in. She stared at the young girl in front of her. The girl who had been her only friend so long ago in the past.
After a while of taking in the information Tommy finally got the courage to ask a couple of questions. "Is it because we belonged in a different dimension that we have no one else in the world."
"Yes. That earth is not your home."
"Then what you are saying is that we can't go back to where we were?" Tessa asked.
Pluto looked at her intensely. "Do you really want to go back? Do you feel you really belong?"
Tessa thought back to her life. All the people she knew and the life she had lived for as long as she could remember. The conclusion was simple. She had to agree with Pluto, that earth wasn't very homey and she really didn't feel as if she belonged, confused she looked at Tommy silently asking him for an answer.
Tommy was thinking along the same lines as Tessa. He had lost his family when he was only three and the only person who he felt any connection to was here with him now. That earth was not the place where he felt he belonged. Sad as it was he had often wished he was somewhere else.
With the eyes of someone who had been forced to see the truth, Tessa and Tommy lifted sad eyes to Pluto.
"What is our reality then." They both asked in unison.
"First things first. Come closer." Tessa and Tommy hesitantly stepped towards the imposing figure of Sailor Pluto. As they neared her they noticed that her eyes were the oddest shade of red brown. But what stood out the most was the energy that seemed to surround her like an aura, the power she possessed would have been intimidating if not for the gentleness shinning in her eyes. She raised her staff and the orb pulsed purple-black light. Two twin beams shot out of them and before either Tessa or Tommy could scream, it hit them on their forehead, sending them spiraling into their own minds.
Tessa asked. She was in a garden covered with silver grass and flowers blowing in the wind. Yet, Tessa could feel no wind on herself. The sound of birds singing filled the space as the sun shone down on a silvery landscape making the entire area look as if it was made of silver. Out in the distance she could see a beautiful palace rising above the ground and up above in the heavens hung a beautiful blue earth. Tessa said to herself. Seeing no other logical place to go she headed towards the moon palace. As she did her memory fired in rapid succession. Images of her friends lighted her mind. The image of Queen Serenity as she had been on their first meeting came to her, that was when she had met her charge, young Princess Serenity.
She had stood awkwardly in front of the powerful matriarch of the Silver Millennium, Queen Serenity had called her over and introduced her to the Princess and the other scouts. The guardian of water Princess Ami of Planet Mercury, the guardian of fire Princess Rei of Planet Mars, the guardian of thunder Princess Lita of Planet Jupiter, the guardian of love Princess Mina of the Planet Venus, the guardian of destruction and rebirth Princess Hotaru of Planet Saturn, the guardian of the sky Princess Haruka of Planet Uranus, the guardian of the oceans Princess Michiru of Planet Neptune, and finally the guardian of time Princess Setsuna of the Planet Pluto. It was this last person who had caught her attention the most. She had stood out like a friendly sun in a thunderous sky. She had been the one to make her feel at home when she felt like an outsider. She had been her best friend and confidant.
Tessa relived her life on the moon, all the way from when she felt like a stranger to when she felt of the other guardians and princess as her sisters.
She remembered herself when she had been so lonely and then met her true love in the moon gardens, Tommy had been the same even back then. His jokes making her darkest days shine.
And she remembered when she had been sent into the future by the Queen to guard Princess Serenity. It had been, according to Pluto, the day before the end of that peaceful kingdom.
Suddenly the image of the Queen came before her. 'Princess Tessa of Planet Thelia it has been a long time.' Tessa immediately bowed in front of the Queen. 'There is no need for that Tessa, you had always been like a daughter to me. I am happy to see you have grown up.' The Queen's voice rang out like merry bells. 'Tessa I am glad you have finally remembered. My daughter will need the guardian of space in the near future. For the future of earth, I ask you to take care of her.'
'My Queen, I love the princess and would gladly give my life to protect her. She is like my own sister.' Tessa remembered the fun times she had shared with the Princess, the pranks they had pulled over the others and the times they had stuck out together to meet their loves.
'Yes, you have already take the first step by coming to this dimension.' The Queen smiled. 'You have a long battle in front of you. When Pluto takes you to the earth where my daughter is you will not remember much, more will be revealed to you as time passes. Look within yourself, there is a lot of strength there, take courage in your bonds to friends and you will come through any problem.' The Queen started to fade out and as she did, Tessa started to return back to her own body.
Tommy found himself in a similar garden. The Moonlight gardens of the Silver Millennium. He saw hang above him stars shinning brightly, but none were brighter than the blue planet Earth. When he saw it a face flashed into his mind, the face of the Prince of Earth, Prince Endymion, or Darien as he liked to call himself. His best friend, the one who was responsible for introducing him to his true love, the Princess of Thelia.
He turned around to find himself on the steps of the Moon Palace the capitol of the Silver Millennium. He walked up and into the grand halls of the palace. The walls were made of white marble and his boots clicked on the smooth floor. He spied his friends and fellow general talking animatedly. Lord Nephlite, Lord Jedite, Lord Zoisite, and Lord Kunzite each arguing while Prince Darien looked on in amusement. He remembered this time as if it was yesterday. They had just met the Princess Serenity's inner guardians and were hotly debating who was the prettiest. He turned to his left and saw another memory flash. The memory of his love, Princess Tessa of Thelia, talking with Princess Serenity, both with a mischievous look on their faces. It was from the time they had pulled a trick on Primness Rei that had turned the raven haired girl to a white haired one. When he looked back towards his fellow generals they had disappeared. Instead there stood the Queen of the Silver Millennium, Queen Serenity.
'Tommy I am pleased to see you again. How have you been?'
'My queen, it is I who am honored to see you.'
'Tommy do you know why you are here?'
'I don't remember, one moment I was with Tessa in her apartment and then I saw Pluto and now I am here. I am confused my queen.'
'It is as I had planned it to be.' A gentle smile played on her lips. 'I had sent you with Princess Tessa to see to her well being. You have done well.'
'My queen, what happened to our beautiful home.'
'A tragedy, but one that was necessary in order to achieve a greater and longer lasting peace.' Her bright blue eyes shone down on him. 'I want to ask you to look after my little princess, she will need your aid in the upcoming battles. You will have to reunite her court and help her be strong.'
'My queen, I would be greatly honored to serve Crown Princess Serenity.'
'I am happy to hear that. Find the princess and reunite with all your friends. But know this when you return you will loose your memories of the time you have spent here, but in time you will regain more and more information. Good luck you general.'
Tommy started to feel dizzy once again and felt himself being pulled by to his body. When he opened his eyes he saw that Tessa too had just woken up. Her eyes were damp from crying and she was leaning on Pluto. Pluto was creasing Tessa gently to help her calm down but when she saw that Tommy was awake she turned to him to see if he was alright.
'I was expecting you two to return much sooner, I wish to apologize for giving you such a fright, I thought wasn't expecting you, but I should have.' She ended in soft voice.
'Oh, Pluto what am I supposed to do. I can not return to either of the world I know and I am so scared.'
'Tessa be brave. Remember what the queen told you. And know that you will always have your friends.'
Tessa smiled in understanding, feeling much better after conversing with her dear friend. She turned to look at Tommy and at once her memories returned from the time they had shared on the Moon. Tommy sensing how much Tessa needed him went to hug her but when he held her in his arms and looked down into her beautiful purple eyes shinning up to him with love he couldn't take it and kissed her. The passionate kiss from Tommy unlocked Tessa's feelings both from her past life and from her present and she returned his kisses with her own passion and love.
'Um!' Pluto politely interrupted the couple. Even with her dark skin, the blush on her face was obvious. 'You two will have to go now. We don't have all of eternity.' Sailor Pluto smiled at that ironic statement seeing how they were standing in the hall of time and she was time's mistress.
Tessa and Tommy immediately broke up each blushing furiously. Tommy diverted the subject by asking an unpleasant question. 'Pluto, when Queen Serenity said that we would only remember part of this, just how big is the part?'
Pluto's face registered her distress, but she bravely answered her friends question. 'There is much that you wouldn't remember. You will remember most of it in dreams, but for most part you will probably wouldn't know more than that you are searching for the lost Princess Serenity. You will have help however, for Luna has already found Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars and Sailor Moon.'
'Wait, there was no Sailor Moon back during the Silver Millennium, was there?'
Pluto nodded at Tessa's question. 'You are right Tessa there was no Sailormoon yet there was. The Sailormoon of this earth is actually the Moon Princess. But most likely you will forget that information.'
'So the Princess is Sailormoon. Does she have the Imperial Silver Crystal?'
'No and as part of your duty will be to find it. For only with the Crystal will the Princess stand the chance to defeat her enemies.' With that she raised her time staff and opened a portal. Tessa and Tommy holding hand stepped into the light, afraid of what is waiting for them in the future.
After they were gone and the portal had closed Pluto whispered into the air. 'Good Luck my friends. I will see you in the future.' She kept staring at the point where her friends had disappeared and tears ran down her face in a continuous stream. She was alone once more, the mistress of time, tied eternally to her duty.
