»On the newly rebuilt Kinmokusei in the main Throne Room«

Kakyuu: "Starlights, I am very happy to see our beloved home back to
it's former glory. You three have put forth so much energy and time into it's
rebuilt. I thank you." * bowing down *

Fighter: "Princess! We are your senshi; you shouldn't bow down to us.
We were and are glad to have had a part in rebuilding our home planet. *
Bending her head down for a second to cover up the forlorn look in her eyes
before raising them up again * We had waited so long to find you and to
finally return home. *" * The long, black haired senshi, in a black
leather fuku kneeled down in respect *

Healer: "H…Hai! Princess Kakyuu. You are our Princess. We will
always be with you to serve you and yours. We love you. We will do our
best to help you in any way we can." *the long silver/white haired senshi in
the same fuku then stretched her right arm to her left shoulder in a half
bow*

Maker: "We dedicate our lives, heart and soul to you Princess." * The
long, brown haired senshi in a black leather fuku imitating Healer, paid
respect to her princess *

Kakyuu: "I don't think that is possible, Maker." * giggling *

All Three: "Nani?!"
Kakyuu: "I am not so naïve as to think you will always protect me. Yes,
I know you will try, but your heart and soul are spoken for, am I correct?" *
looking into the Starlights' startled faces *

Healer: "B…But you're our leader! Our one and only! We were sworn
at birth to always dedicate our lives for you!"

Kakyuu: "I am honored at you persistent dedication for me and
Kinmokusei. But I am sadly to say that I have already contacted Serenity to
expect your arrival soon. I have but two last requests of you."

Fighter: "Your wish is our command. What is it that you wish?"

Maker: "Last wishes? Nani?!"

Kakyuu: " My first wish is if you would sing your wonderful song to me
on last time?"

All Three: "Hai! Princess, of course." They all walk to the performance
room aka the ballroom – which had been finished just three weeks ago.
After five minutes of preparation time, the three starlights began singing
their song, Nagareboshi He.

Princess Kakyuu, who was sitting in the front middle seat, tilted her
head back. Closing her eyes, her face soon had a serene expression plastered
on. When the song ended, Kakyuu moved her head upright. Brushing a
few loose red-stranded hair fly aways, she opened her eyes with a wide and
open smile.

Kakyuu: "Arigato, Starlights. Every time I hear that song, I feel so
warm with love."

Fighter: "You are loved, Princess. We love you like none other."

Kakyuu: * with a slightly forlorn expression plastered on her face,
turned toward Fighter * "I do not think that is true anymore, Fighter. You
three have changed since your time on Earth. Fighter, since we came back
two and a half years ago, while you dedicated you body and strength in
Kinmokusei's built, I can see that your heart is not truly into it anymore.
You have changed from the free spirited senshi that I have known for years.
You are now so quiet; you have kept your emotions to yourself for too long.
It's not good for you." * Turning to Healer *

Fighter: "P…Princess!" * head snapping back in shock *

Kakyuu: * ignoring Fighter's outburst, she continues to face Healer *
"Healer. You have been the same as Fighter. Your love for Sailor Venus
show through your bright green eyes every day." * Turns to Maker * "You
as well, Maker. You hide you emotions for Sailor Mercury well, but you
have forgotten that we have grown up together. I know you guys too well.
My last command to you is to free you, Maker, and Healer of your
obligation to this planet and me. If your heart desires it, go to your rooms
and start packing for Earth. I shall tell the portal guards to expect your
arrival."

Healer and Maker: "Arigato, Kakyuu- Hime." * turns around to leave for
their rooms *

Healer: * turning back to the princess eyes full of concern for her fellow
teammate * "Excuse me for asking, but what about Fighter?"

Kakyuu: "Don't worry about her. She is to stay with me for a little
while longer. Now go." *turning to face Fighter * "Fighter, stay here. I
need to tell you some things."

Fighter: "Hai, Kakyuu Hime." The words spoken so softly but held
much hurt because she was being held from the one she loved with her heart
and being. Knowing her two friends would get something she herself
couldn't.

Kakyuu: "Fighter, Seiya, as I should call you. I know you care deeply
for Sailormoon/Usagi." * Fighter's startled eyes looked up at Kakyuu *
"Yes, yes. I have known of your feelings for her even before we left Earth.
What concerned me however, was why you did not ask to request to stay
there after Galaxia's defeat."

Fighter: "Princess, I think you already know the answer to that question.
I am to serve you and you alone. Whether my heart belongs to another or
not, my duties to you have been implanted within me and Healer and Maker.
We were to never allow anything to distract us from our duty to protect you.
I did not request to stay on Earth because Odango already had a boyfriend.
Mamoru-sama will take good care of her. She has great feelings for him. I
am afraid that we were never meant to be, so I will have to stand aside and
watch them be together. As long as I am near her, I believe I can stay sane.
I just hope that I will always have her friendship" * voice quieting down to a
whisper * "If I ever lose that, I fear that I will never be the same again." *
Coming out of her runaway thoughts. * "Sorry Princess, my mind drifted
away. Did you want to tell me anything before you dismissed me?"

Kakyuu: "Just this. While I am sending you away to be near those you
love, be careful. The Earth Senshi now have a new enemy after them. This
enemy has attacked many planets and has succeeded in taking them over.
We know that this planet is safe from attack because we don't have the
Silver Imperium Crystal they seem to want. I held you back because you are
the leader of my senshi and should know what is going on. I hope you find
happiness on Earth, Seiya." And with that said, Kakyuu turned and left the
ballroom. Going to her room to think about three of her toughest senshi
leaving her forever.

»Two days later.. «

Having traveled through space, the three Starlights find themselves in
the Tokyo airport. Unfortunately though, there were many fans who still
remembered them gathered at the airport, the time being 5:00pm..

Seiya: * stretching out his arms behind his head * "It's great to be
back, huh guys. I really missed Earth. I think.." *turns around to talk to
Taiki and Yaten by finds them missing. Just a big bunch of girls
surrounding him * "Uhh, guys? Where the heck are you?!"

Yaten: "Seiya! Can you give us a hand here? It's too bad that we still
have our fans. Even after our return home for over two years, they still
remember who we are." Yaten whined. "Get away from me!"

Taiki: "Help!! Get off!! We are in a hurry!" * he turns to Yaten and
they both got a mischeivious look in their eyes, both reaching out behind
their backs, they pulled out a baseball bat and began swing * (no, they didn't
hurt anyone, just made the fans back away from them.) Seiya just looked on
in amazement and was holding back his laughter.

Seiya: "Sorry, please move out of our way. We are in a hurry to go to
our nice apartment…. Far from here!" * now loosing patience and shoving
some away * He turned around and suddenly saw a familiar young teenage
girl with Odangos. "Odango Atama!! What are you doing here?!"

~§~§~§~§~§~§~

Meanwhile when the Starlights were planning on coming down to Earth for
their extended stay, Usagi was standing outside her balcony looking out at
the stars.

Usagi: "I wish you were here, Seiya. I miss you so much." she whispered as
silent tears rolled down her cheeks. 'The past two years and a half have
seemed like a millennium. I think I have matured a lot in the last few years
after the fight with Galaxia. Life has never been the same since you left.
We all miss you. Even Haruka," * Giggling a little at that thought. *
"After the fight with Galaxia, since there had been no new attacks two
months later, Mamoru and I both decided that he should return to America to
continue his studies to become a doctor:

The two couple where sitting together under their Willow Tree in the park:

Usagi: "Mamo-chan, I think it would be best for you to go back to
America to live out your dream. We have both lived and died following
destiny that I am so tired of it. You should try and find happiness elsewhere.
Please understand me. I feel that we are falling apart, but I know that if we
continued dating, we would destroy our friendship. Our past lives may have
been meant to be, but I do not think that is the same for our present selves."
* looking up at Mamoru's face in the afternoon light * "I don't want to ruin
our friendship. I know we were supposed to be together in the future, but I
had thought that we could make our own future." * as Usagi said this, she
began to cry silent tears. *

Mamoru: "Usako, is that what you really want? For me to leave you and
our future together? Why?" *confused look came onto his face *

Usagi: "We are becoming distant with one another. I would rather
sacrifice having you beside me as my future husband than to lose you
because I was too selfish to let you go. Please forgive me."

Mamoru: "If you want me to go, I shall go. But just remember, I will
always be there for you. I will always love you till the day I die, Usako." He
whispered gently as he bent down and kissed Usagi on her forehead.

Usagi: "I will miss you with all my heart. Please remember to write to
me, especially once you arrive in America and when you meet a 'special'
girl. Our separation is for the best." * sigh *

Mamoru: "When shall we tell the others? They are going to fight this
more than we did." * laughing at that thought *

Usagi: "Yeah, I know. But it's for the best. In order for either you or
me to live a as real as can be life, we need to separate to see if there can be
another future for either one of us."

Mamoru: * getting up to return home, Usagi did the same * "Usako..
*She turns toward him * Good luck with Seiya-Kun." She turns around
shocked. "Yeah, I knew how you felt about the Starlight the entire time. I
felt that we weren't as close as before." * sigh * "I just wasn't sure how you
would react. I didn't know that you had the same thoughts. Why do you
think I agreed so easily? * laughing gently * You have changed, Usako. I
think for the better. Anyways, it's getting late. I'll make plane reservations
as soon as possible."

At the airport…

Usagi: "Mamochan, remember to write this time so I know not to
worry about you too much, okay? But remember. * putting on a faux stern
expression * "But once you even think you see someone you may like, tell
me as soon as possible, ok? I want you to be happy."

:: Passengers for flight 529 for America now boarding…. Passengers for
flight 529 for America now boarding… ::

Mamoru: "That's my flight. I have to go now, I hope you are happy with
this decision, Usako. I will try to visit minna at the end of the year.
Goodbye Usagi. *whispering that last word, he bends down to give her a
last kiss before leaving *

Usagi sees Mamoru off. Watching as his plane takes off a half an hour
later. 'I wish you luck Mamoru'. Sighing before taking a seat in the
waiting lounge to think on past events.

20 minutes later…

"Aaaahhhhh!!!! The Threelights are back!! I can't believe it!" "Seiya!! We
love you!" "Taiki! Yaten! Seiya!" "Will you marry me!?"

Usagi, from her seat in the waiting room heard a commotion and went
to go check it out.

"Get away from me!" "Help!! Get off!! We are in a hurry!"

Seiya: "Sorry, please move out of our way. We are in a hurry to go to
our nice apartment…. Far from here!" * now loosing patience and shoving
some away * He turned around and suddenly saw a familiar young teenage
girl with Odangos. * face showing his surprise * "Odango Atama!! What
are you doing here?!"

Usagi: * coming towards the chaotic group * "Seiya?! You're back. I
can't believe it!" * running into his arms * "We missed you guys sooooo
much! How long are you staying this time?" she asked, forgetting about the
group of fans who were getting jealous by the second thinking 'who is this
girl that the Threelights are greeting like a lover?' " * moving away from
Seiya's warm embrace, she turned to give both Yaten and Taiki a welcome
hug. *

Taiki: "Miss Tsukino-san, it's good seeing you again after such a long
time. How about we leave to go to a much quieter place such as this?"

Yaten: Mimicking Taiki, "Yeah, like the library."

Taiki: "Why you little troublemaker, I should.."

Usagi: "Now come on! I'll take you to my place first, then after some
tea and refreshments, you can go back to your apartment." *turning away
from the three * "Sorry to disappoint you ladies, but I need to bring them
home. See you around."

As the Threelights and Usagi were walking to her house, the talk was
small. Taiki wanted to ask about Ami, but was unsure on how to bring the
subject up. Yaten was thinking about Mina, but didn't want to admit to
anyone that he liked her. Especially when he always called her annoying.
All three: 'sigh'

Usagi: "We're here!" * taking out her key, she inserted into the lock
and turned the door. Taking off her shoes, she put on her house slippers and
turned her shoes toward the door. (Japanese tradition to not ruin their
floors) * "There are guest slippers over there, make yourself at home while I
make some tea, or do you want soda instead?" She turned around to face the
three boys.

"Tea's fine with us." They all replied before going over to the light blue
sofa and sitting down.

About five minutes later, Usagi came back and began pouring tea for
all three of her guests and herself before sitting down on a chair facing the
sofa. " My mom and dad went out early this morning along with Shingo,
they left for a business trip for two weeks." As a way of telling them that
no, her dad will not find out that there were boys in the house. (=^.^=) "Are
one of you three going to tell me what brought you guys down here after two
and a half years?"

Taiki: "Miss Tsukino, Kakyuu-Hime saw how miserable we had been
on Kinmokusei and she freed us from our duty to her. Telling us to follow
our hearts to Earth."

Seiya: "We didn't know just how much we missed earth and all of her
senshi until we came back and saw you again." Narrowly avoiding being hit
by a flying pillow by Yaten. "Hey!"

Usagi: "You guys really missed Earth? Before all you could think
about was returning back to your own planet with your princess."

Yaten: "Yeah, sorry if I had been a little rude and obnoxious before.
We really couldn't trust anyone, but once I saw all of your friends and
fellow senshi sacrifice their lives for you and us, I realized what we had been
missing. Love for and hope in one another. By the way Seiya, that pillow
was a warning to you about your pickup lines. Sheesh!" * swinging back his
long white ponytail. *

Taiki: "Miss Tsukino.." he began, when Usagi cut him off.

Usagi: "Taiki, just call me Usagi. Miss Tsukino sounds too formal and
makes me sound so old.." * wrinkling her little nose at that thought *

Taiki: "Hai, Usagi-san. How have the others been? Has there been
any attacks since we've been gone?"

Usagi: "Not many, just one or two awhile back. The girls are all fine.
Rei's the only one of us who has a boyfriend right now though, to answer all
your questions." *giggling *

Seiya: "How about you, Odango? Don't you have Mamoru-kun?"
*curiosity all over his face *

Usagi: "Actually, no. You asked me earlier what I was doing at the
airport. Well, I was seeing Mamoru off. He is going to America. For good
this time, but he is going to visit at the end of the year. We both thought that
it was a good idea to separate. So don't go off getting mad at him, Seiya."

Yaten: * laughing * "She knows you too well, Seiya!"

Taiki: "I am sorry to say guys," * getting up * "but it's getting late,
it's already 11:00pm. By the time we get to our apartment, it'll be
11:45pm."

Usagi: "Why don't you three stay the night here? One of you can take
Shingo's room and the other two can sleep on futons here. (another Japanese
thing)"

Taiki: "Will that be okay? We don't want to intrude on your
hospitality."

Usagi: "Oh no, it's no trouble at all! Just as long as dad never finds out
you were here in the first place. So who wants the bedroom? I can't offer
my parents' room. It's off limits."

Taiki: "I'll take the bedroom if the other two agree." * looking
around *

Seiya: "Okay Taiki."

Usagi: "Hold on while I find something for you three to sleep in."
* running off in the direction of her parent's bedroom, coming back shortly
with clothes draped all over her arms * "Here's some pajamas for you guys
to wear. They are my dad's castoffs."

"Arigato, Usagi," they all replied.

Usagi: "Goodnight, you three. I am going to turn in now. See you in
the morning." * turning to leave them and go to her room upstairs *

Seiya: "Goodnight, Odango."
