Hi everyone

Hi everyone. This is my revision of SMB.  For those of you that don't know, this is Sailor Moon Bridges, my first fanfic.  I decided to revise it because there were a few errors that I wanted to correct.  You will see how it all ties together in the Sequel "Goddess Sailor Moon".  Anyway Read and Review.

BTW: I don't own Sailor Moon.  If I did I would be somewhere making Lots of Money. 

Sailor Moon Bridges

By Serenestorm

Prologue: The Dream of Death

The day started off beautiful.  Everywhere laughter could be heard.  Children were playing and the sun was shining.  The song of the birds could be heard from the trees above and cherry blossoms filled the air with their soft fragrance.  Yes the day was peaceful, beautiful, but beauty cannot last forever. Like everything else beauty must fade, tarnish with time. Death called too soon, for suddenly the sky turned a steely gray.  Where there was laughter there was silence.  The warmth of the sun left as if it was never there to begin with.  The sun itself became a black ball devoid of its brilliance.  In its absence came the cold, a cold not seen since the age of the dinosaurs.  A blanket of ice began to cover everything and everyone; plants, animals, women, children, no one could escape its deadly touch.  No one even tried to escape for it all happened so fast.  The world was covered with ice in minutes.  Nothing of this once beautiful planet remained, only the hauntingly beautiful coverlet of crystal ice.

"This is the way it must be, mother".  A small girl's voice whispered into the empty darkness.

Rei woke up freezing.  It was as if she could feel the cold from her dream.  The peace has lasted too long She thought as she looked at the sleeping form beside her.  There her husband lay.  A small almost innocent smile graced his lips.  Chad her beloved.  It had been 6 years since the fight with Galaxia.  All the sensei had gone on with their lives.  Rei finally realized she loved Chad and married him a month before Usagi and Mamoru wed.  She slowly got up and walked out of their bedroom.  She entered another bedroom that was decorated for a child.  A beautiful little girl lay snuggled under the blankets of a red canopy bed.  Her long raven hair covered her pillow like a shawl.  Long dark eyelashes covered blue-gray eyes.  Rei sat down on the bed beside her gently as not to awaken her.  My lovely little Selene she thought has she brushed the hair from her little ones face. 3-year-old Selene was already very gifted.  Rei knew that her daughter's abilities would soon rival her own.

"Okaa-san".  The child said as she opened her eyes.

"I'm sorry that I woke you, Shadow.  I couldn't sleep so I came to check on you".  Rei said.

It wasn't really a lie.  She did come to check on her little one, but not because she couldn't sleep.  She wanted to see if Selene had dreamed the same thing.  She knew her daughter's voice, knew it well.  The voice in her dream definitely belonged to her daughter.

"Okaa-san, are you ok?"  Selene asked as she climbed onto Rei's lap.

"Yes, I'm ok".

Selene reached up and touched Rei's face.  The touch warmed her but her daughter's words chilled her to the bone.

"Okaa-sama, not all scary dreams are bad dreams.  What was will be and there is no escape.  You must be ready, Princess, for the time is near.  You must be ready to accept your fate". 

Rei looked into those steel-blue eyes in shock.  Her daughter just stared calmly back at her.

"How do you know this?"  She asked the child. 

Selene just smiled and closed her eyes.  Soon her rhythmic breathing could be heard, indicating that she had fallen to sleep.  Rei gently laid her back on her bed and tucked her in, but as she slipped under her own covers beside her husband she knew that she would not sleep for all she could think about was about what her daughter had told her.  Her sweet innocent child could not possibly know what her words meant--- or maybe she did.  All Rei knew though was that the time of peace was over.  It was again time to fight.

What do you think? Please review.

BTW: Okaasan means Mother and Okaasama means that Selene has a lot of respect for her mother.
