Author's Note: Okay, I just want to make a correction really quick, upon writing the second chapter I saw that this is going to take a lot longer than 3 chapters, so Friday is seeming pretty impossible at this moment. So sorry to everyone who is reading these stories, but I need more chapters to finish the story, so expect around next week for the whole story to be done. Thanks again for your patience and not tar-and-feathering me, I greatly appreciate it. Anyone know how to stop the first line from repeating please tell me, thanks. Please R&R!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon, even though I hope and wish that I did, oh well.



"Princess, Princess Serena, wake-up, oh please wake-up."

"Um, Luna just 10 more minutes."

"Oh, Serena, you are okay!"

Okay, yeah why wouldn't I be? That was when everything hit me. Darien and the scouts were gone, and I was alone. Oh, why was I still alive, damn it! I could hear someone calling to me, but I couldn't place a face with the voice. Why wouldn't they just leave me alone?

"Wake-up!"

Okay, so I don't have much of a choice, might as well wake-up. I deserve this pain, I thought as my heart and body pulsed with pain. That is my punishment for letting the scouts and Darien die. I slowly opened my eyes to a foggy dull world.

"Oh, Serena are you okay?"

I slowly turned to look at the speaker and was shocked to see the Sailor Scout of Time, a.k.a. Sailor Pluto.

"Pluto, where am I and what are you doing here?"

"I was talking to your future self, Neo-Queen Serenity and Rini, when Small Lady started to fade in and out of existence. I had a feeling that something might be wrong. When I arrived on Earth, I felt strong negative energy and followed the vibes to where you, Darien, and the scouts were laying. 'Rena, what happened?"

"I . . . ," I choked on sobs, as I relived the horrible moments, while trying desperately to find the words to express my pain and heartache.

"Oh, Pluto," I sobbed out ", I killed them." My body shook violently with grief and anger. Arms circled me into an embrace of shared emotions. I felt Pluto sob with me and slowly I gained control of my emotions, I owed it to my friends and Pluto to explain their last moments.

"Well, we were all meeting at the arcade to talk . . . "

***Flashback***

"Hey Serena, Darien, Rini," all the Scouts chorused.

"Hey everyone."

"Just like you, Serena, always coming in late and then never apologizing for making us wait for you," Raye taunted.

"Oh, you are just jealous that I was with my future husband and daughter and you were here waiting," I said, followed by sticking out my tongue, just to provoke my friend. Ha ha, if only you could see her face. No matter what though, I do love all my friends' even stubborn, bossy Raye.

While we were all sipping on our ice cream floats, my communicator alarm went off.

"Yeah, Serena."

"Attack in the park," Luna rattled off ", hurry up and transform, we need your help."

"Okay be there in five."

I turned to my friends and was surprised to see them up and ready to go. I gave a small smile because I knew that I could always depend on them, no matter what the situation. We slipped into an alleyway near the arcade.

"Well, shall we," Darien said as he transformed into Tuxedo Mask.

I nodded and the sounds of my friends and I transforming filled the dark alleyway.

"MERCURY PLANET POWER"

"MARS PLANET POWER"

"JUPITER PLANET POWER"

"VENUS PLANET POWER"

"URANUS PLANET POWER"

"NEPTUNE PLANET POWER"

"SATURN PLANET POWER"

"MOON CRYSTAL POWER"

Bright lights, of all our respective planets, combined and joined together, filling the alleyways with a brilliant white light. When the lights faded, my friends and I were in our sailor suits.

"Let's go, scouts."

***At the Park***

"The sea is roaring with trouble," Neptune said.

"Be careful, scouts, I sense some major negative vibes here," Raye cautioned.

"Where is Luna and Artemis?" I heard Venus ask.

My mind drifted away from the Scout's conversation. Something is seriously wrong, I just couldn't place my finger on it. I heard my past side, Princess Serenity, whisper warnings of danger and death. 'If only I had listened, I later told Pluto.'

I didn't even see the blast of negative energy come barring down on me, nor did I see Sailor Mars run towards me, throwing herself in front of me, saving my life by giving her own. I caught her as she fell to the ground, sinking with her while cradling her body.

"Raye, oh please Raye don't go please don't leave me," I pleaded and sobbed.

"Princess . . .," Raye choked out ",I want you to know that you have been the best friend that I have ever had, and I would never have changed anything, even this."



***End of Flashback***

I held Raye, even after she had died. My sobs, along with the scouts, rose into the night, the moon temporarily dimming, with the sorrow of her princess.

Pluto's eyes misted over, but looked at me as if she was wondering about the others and how they had met their deadly fate. "Why didn't you guys leave, why did you stay in the park?"

"We thought that the enemy had left. We were stupid to think that it was over though, for Raye's death was just the beginning of the nightmare."
