Naru walked into the church where Usagi's funereal was being held. The large church was overflowing with friends of Usagi.
She could see Ami, Minako, Makoto Rei, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, Taiki, Yaten and Motoki all squished into a row behind Usagi's family. Seiya was no where in sight, Naru had heard that he and his brothers were back, Naru was also surprised to find that Chibi-Usa and Mamoru were not in attendance. Naru had been devastated, as well as everyone else when they had found out about Usagi. The world seemed to be mourning the loss of her, snow fell in flurries and the clouds were dark an ominous, the temperature below freezing.
Naru took a seat in the back of the church, everyone listened as they a minister spoke about Usagi, and then other people in turn talked about her. The people closest to Usagi, Ami, Minako, Makoto and that group were all silent, the 10 didn't move or speak once during the whole service.
Naru followed the long line of people saying goodbye, Usagi's funereal would be an open casket and then the pall barriers (I know that is spelled wrong.) Usagi wore a pale pink dress her hair done in it's usual style, her hands were crossed across her chest, a simple engagement ring on her left hand.

"Mom why did I have to leave them?" Usagi asked softly.
Serenity lay a gentle hand on her daughter's shoulder, "It's part of the plan."
"But my daughter's down there!" Usagi cried, she could see Chibi-Usa in the past already arguing with Usagi's past self. "You've got to understand that."
"Believe me I do." Serenity's words held sadness. "But this has to happen, my daughter, if you're to become the Queen you should be…"
"What will happen to my senshi? They are already having problems, I don't want to see them hurt."
"Your senshi must stand time. They will go on with their lives, like they will. You'll see, they will pull through this." Serenity's words were confident.
"I don't want to leave them though!" Usagi cried, "Their my friends, my family," Usagi looked at the ring on her left hand "my one love."

1 month later:
Hotaru lay the roses on Usagi's grave; she came to visit often. "Everything is changing." Hotaru whispered to the wind "Michiru-Mama and Haruka-Papa are in England. They say there is no reason for them to stay in Tokyo anymore. Michiru-Mama is performing there; they asked me to go with them. I couldn't go though. No one talks to each other anymore. We haven't al been in the same room since…well since your funereal. I'm staying with Setsuna-Mama. Chibi-Usa-Chan hasn't come back; I'm glad she hasn't though. We all miss you Usagi-Chan."
A twig cracking behind Hotaru caused her to jump and turn around, Hotaru hand flew to her chest.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you." Tuskino Shingo stood behind Hotaru.
Hotaru smiled slightly, "It's fine."
"You come here a lot don't you?" Shingo asked.
Hotaru nodded, "Yes."
"Your friend's come a lot too. We can tell there are always flowers here."
"Yes, we all miss Usagi." Hotaru wrapped her arms around herself to keep from shivering.
"It's really cold out here. There is a coffee shop around the corner, would you like to join me?"
"Weren't you going to stay here?" Hotaru motioned to the grave.
"I'll come back later. Nobody should be out in this weather." Shingo pulled Hotaru to her feet.

"You and Usagi were close weren't you?" Shingo asked.
Hotaru nodded and set her cup of tea on the saucer "Yeah, she was my first friend."

2 months later
Mamoru handed the woman the money in exchange for a set of keys, "I thought Hawaii was supposed to be warm?" Mamoru questioned.
"It's been cold like this for a month now…" The woman's sentence trailed, "No one can figure it out. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"Yes, actually, I am looking for a woman named Tiffany. They told me in California that she was hear."
"Tiffany Roberts?" The woman asked.
Mamoru nodded, "Yes. You know her?"
"Around here everyone knows about her. Her father's the owner of this hotel, and just about everything around here."
"Then could you tell me where to find her?" Mamoru asked, his hopes rising.
The woman pushed her long brown hair over her shoulder and glanced at her watch "Right now, I would say she is probably having dinner in the hotel restaurant." The woman glanced around "I can take you to her now if you wish."
Mamoru nodded "Thank you."
"Ms. Roberts?" The woman.
Tiffany turned to face the couple, her deep brown eyes focused on Mamoru, "Thank you Missy. Mr. Shields take a seat."
"How did you know my name?" Mamoru questioned taking the seat across from Tiffany.
"Well, I have been waiting for you for several months now."
"I honestly thought this was some wild goose chase Setsuna was sending me on." Mamoru confessed.
Tiffany raised an eyebrow, "Setsuna doesn't lie." Tiffany went back to staring out the window.
"Are you OK?" Mamoru asked.
Tiffany never took her eyes off the window as she spoke, "The Earth, Sun and Moon are in turmoil. All 3 are off, it takes all 3 working together for Earth and the other planets to peacefully coexist."
"You heard about Usagi?" Mamoru asked.
"Yes." Tiffany nodded sadly, "And when we get to Tokyo you will see just how peacefully 8 planetary senshi work together now."
"Go back to Tokyo?" Mamoru asked surprised the thought had never crossed his mind.
"Yes, go back to Tokyo. I told you what it takes to make the planets peacefully coexist, we know that already one of the pieces has been removed. We need to be there or there will be no hope for the senshi."
The cell phone sitting on the table next to Tiffany began to ring and Tiffany picked it up "Hello? Hello Setsuna. Actually Mamoru is with me right now. Yes we are coming in on the next flight. Yes we will see you then."
"Setsuna wants us to come home immediately. She said she is going to bring Chibi-Usa home and she wants you there when she gets there. So let me go pack my things and then we can go to the airport."

"Setsuna what was so important that we had to come from England? Couldn't you have talked to us on the phone?" Haruka asked.
"We need at least one last scout meeting." Setsuna responded. "Besides Chibi-Usa-Chan is coming back today. She is going to need all the support she can get."
"Chibi-Usa's coming back?" Minako asked looking up from the modeling contract she was reading.
"Yes," Setsuna nodded. "Chibi-Usa-Chan is coming back today."
"Who's going to tell her?" Minako asked setting the contract down and pulling a lock of blonde hair over her shoulder and twisting it nervously, and black bow had replaced the usual red one.
"Mamoru will." Setsuna replied.
"Mamoru?" Michiru asked surprised, "Is he back then?"
"Sorry our plane got in late." Mamoru said coming into the temple.
"Hello Setsuna." Tiffany greeted softly following Mamoru.
"Who are you?" Haruka asked, suspiciously looking Tiffany up and down taking in her black tank top and black pants.
"Haruka this is Tiffany Roberts, or Sailor Sun Star."
"Sailor Sun Star?" The group asked surprised.
"The last Sailor Senshi of this Solar System." Tiffany added. While Tiffany conversed with Setsuna Mamoru hugged each of the girls talking to them in a soft-concerned tone.
"So are we going to bring back Mamoru's daughter or what?" Tiffany questioned.
Setsuna nodded and flipped open her watched, "Chibi-Usa-Chan?"
The group waiting silently, with baited breath for the sound of Chibi-Usa's voice.
"Aunt Setsuna?" Chibi-Usa asked.
"Chibi-Usa-Chan are you ready to come home?"
"Yes." Chibi-Usa's replied with quick.
"OK do you remember what to do?" Setsuna asked.
"Yes, let me say goodbye to everyone first."

Minutes later in a flash of pink light Chibi-Usa appeared.
"DADDY!!!!" Chibi-Usa cried throwing her arms tightly around Mamoru.
"Did you have fun?" Mamoru asked.
"Yeah, I saw you and Mommy, and Aunt Minako, and Aunt Makoto, and Aunt Rei, and Aunt Ami and Uncle Motoki and everyone!" Chibi-Usa exclaimed pulling away she ran to all her 'aunts' hugs and kisses on the cheek "Where's Momma?" A concerned look crossed Chibi-Usa's face.
Everyone exchanged worried glances towards each other; finally 13 pairs of eyes fell on Mamoru. Mamoru sighed sadly, "Chibi-Usa-Chan come here."
Chibi-Usa shook her head, "No, where's Momma?"
"Chibi-Usa-Chan please come here." Mamoru practically begged.
"No! Where's Momma!" Chibi-Usa cried the moon on her forehead glowing.
"Chibi-Usa-Chan. Chibi-Usa-Chan calm down honey." Minako hushed quietly kneeling before Chibi-Usa.
"NO!!!! WHERE'S MY MOMMY???" Chibi-Usa's voice got louder.
"What's going on?" Chad asked coming in. Seeing Chibi-Usa his gaze fell on her glowing crescent moon.
"Chad!" Rei exclaimed. "Get out of here."
Chad stood still obviously completely stunned, "Chad, come on." Rei said dragging Chad out by his arm.
"Chibi-Usa-Chan, remember how your mother was really sick and she was sleeping when you left?" Minako asked pushing away her tears, and her fear of what was going to happen after Chad saw what he had seen.
Chibi-Usa took a shaky breath, "Yes. Is she still sick?"
"Chibi-Usa-Chan…"

"NO! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!!!!" Chibi-Usa cried running out of the temple. "SHE'S NOT DEAD!!!!"
Everyone stood up to rush after Chibi-Usa; "We'll go after her." Haruka said standing up, Michiru right behind her.
"What happened?" Rei asked coming back into the room, tears rolling down her own cheeks.
"Chibi-Usa-Chan ran out, Haruka and Michiru went after her." Hotaru replied.

Princess Serenity turned to her mother, "I have to go back there!"
"Serenity we go through this every other day." Queen Serenity said shaking her head sadly.
"I know. But how do I know when we I can go back?" The princess of the moon asked.
"Your grandmother will tell you. But believe me you'll know." The dead queen replied.
"Grandmother?" The princess turned her attention to the older woman.
"Not quite yet, my dear. You must above all things learn patients before you go back down there. Right now your cousins will handle things. They are handling it nicely."
Serenity gazed towards the picture taking in what her grandmother had just said. She could see Minako, after she had finished talking to Chibi-Usa she had collapsed into tears, Yaten now held her tightly. Taiki had a secure arm around Ami, Seiya stood in a dark corner and everyone but Rei stood silently. Only moments before she had seen Rei talking to Chad. He had been mad that Rei had not trusted him to tell her about the senshi, she could see him leaving the temple now.
"Wait." Serenity turned back to her grandmother. "My cousins?"
"Yes, your mother was not an only child my dear."
"You weren't?" Serenity asked.
"No, I wasn't."
Serenity's grandmother spoke again, "Your mother was the 1st born of triplets: Serenity, your mother, Peace and Tranquillity, were the princesses of the moon. Your mother was betrothed a prince from a distant moon in a distant galaxy and they lived on the moon, and your mother ruled, Peace was betrothed to the prince of the sun, and Tranquillity was betrothed to the Prince of Venus."
"Minako-Chan's my cousin?" Serenity asked surprised.
Serenity nodded, "Yes."
"And the new girl, is she my cousin also?"
"Yes."
"Then what's going to happen?" Serenity asked glancing back at Earth.
"I can't tell you that my dear." The queen placed a soft hand on her daughter's shoulders.
"Then can you tell me how come I don't remember Tiffany?"
"Tiffany's mother and father were murdered when she was very young. The sun was thrown into a horrible state. The government was overthrown. Fearing for Tiffany's life she was sent to live with Tranquillity on Venus. By the age of 7 all royal princesses are promised to some prince or the other. Because Tiffany was orphaned by this time I gathered my sister and my senshi, your senshi's parents, and it was arranged for her to marry one of the prince's from a distant moon."
"I have never met any girls so determined not to marry their betrothed." The queen's mother cut in frustration with the young people evident.
"What do you mean?" The princess asked.
"I mean you were mad because you didn't want to marry a person you hadn't fallen in love with even though you hadn't realized who you were in love with. Tiffany was mad because she had fallen in love with a person other than her betrothed, but he was also betrothed to another princess. Pluto, Mars, and Jupiter had fallen in love with commoners. Venus was also upset, being the granddaughter of the goddess of love she wanted to marry her one true love. Saturn and Mercury were to shy to show any interest in any gentlemen, and Neptune and Uranus had…Their own thoughts on the opposite sex."
Tears filled Serenity's eyes; she didn't know how to make heads or tails out of anything her mother and grandmother had told her. But hearing about all her friends made her miss them even more everyday.

When Haruka and Michiru returned with Chibi-Usa clinging to Michiru, her crescent moon had disappeared.
"Come here princess." Mamoru called softly lifting his daughter into his arms "Don't cry anymore honey, your mother wouldn't want you to cry for her."
Chibi-Usa's attempts at trying to stop her tears were causing her breath to turn raged. The last tears that ran down her cheek Mamoru moved to brush away. But as it came into contact with Mamoru's skin it crystallized making a small quarter dollar sized crystal.
"Chi-Chibi-Usa-Chan." Minako stuttered.
Chibi-Usa stood in front of everybody in a princess dress much like the one Usagi had worn. Chibi-Usa fell into a trance like state and then disappeared.
