Time of Cosmos
By: Himiko

Relena Peacecraft stared out to the ocean and the setting sun. You could see some of the moon and a few stars. She was alone at the ocean's end. A single tear flowed down her cheek.
" Heero..."
The war had been over for two years; she had brought it upon herself to make peace a reality. But she had had enough of pretending, lying, trying to be some one she wasn't.
Heero...she had fallen for him the moment she set eyes on him, but he hated her. She chuckled. No, he didn't hate her; he hated Relena Peacecraft, her pretend alias for this lifetime. She had chased him shamelessly, stalking him and screeched his name to the point where many had to cover their ears. But that was her pretend personality.
Relena Peacecraft promoted total pacifism...but she herself was a soldier. And will be for eternity. Total pacifism could never exist, and she knew that.
" I'm tired of pretending." She said to the sunset. " I want people to know the real me. I am not Relena Peacecraft and never was. I can stand on my own." She sighed, " It is my fate to stand on my own. Against Beryl, against Wiseman, against Galaxia."
She took off the wig that covered her hair and the contacts that she had no need for. The ending tip of her hair fell down to the ground. Her silver-blonde hair was fastened up in two heart shaped odangos on top of her head with streamers coming out of it. Her colored contacts were removed to show sparkling crystal blue eyes, so full of life and laughter. But if you looked closer you could see a hardness in them and pain and grief. So much that it should have been impossible for one person, at ANY age should have.
But this girl, women, was more then she seemed. Much more. She was reborn into this lifetime when she couldn't take the loneliness of the world with only her the last survivor. So she had made a wish upon the ginshuzou. It gave her rebirth, but she had all her memories intact.
{Mercury...Venus...Mars...Jupiter...Saturn...Neptune...Uranus...Pluto...why did you all have to die for me??? Even my prince died.} She sighed. {But..I've moved on. Endymion was meant for the Princess of the moon, not for the Princess of Light. I understand now Setsuna-chan. I am Sailor Cosmos, the legendary senshi and this is my destiny. To stand alone and make my own destiny, no one can plan it out for me. Unlike how they did for Serenity.}
The beauty stripped off all her clothes. When she took off her shirt you could she that she bounded her breast to make them look flat. She took off the bounding as well and then, stark naked, jumped into the ocean's waters. She rid herself of the mask, of Relena Peacecraft. The water was extremely cold, colder than ice water. To any other it would have been freezing cold, so cold that you would have died in less then 5 minutes. But the beauty didn't seem to know this or feel the cold. She swam and the ocean's waves embraced her. It called out to her. As did the air, skies, stars, sun and moon.
{No more hiding...no more lies...show then who you really are. Stop pretending and paining yourself. We are still here Princess; we shall be forever guarding you. We are your senshi...your friends...death cannot stop us...be happy for us now.}
The beauty walked out to the sand in the moonlight. Stars twinkling in the background. The symbol of cosmos shone brightly on her forehead. A eight pointed star that encircled a upturned crescent moon in the middle. Each point was a different color; blue, red, green, yellow, turquoise, sandy yellow, dark green and finally a purple so dark it seemed almost black.
A silver dress appeared on her. She looked down at it. It was her dress as Neo-Queen Serenity...only a but changed. The gold circles on her top of her chest were now sliver hearts and a long silver bow was at the back. Where there was suppose to be the fake wings, there was nothing. She closed her eyes and then winds of an angel appeared from her shoulder blades.
She didn't have a crown, she did not wish for one either. Her kingdom was the
Universe itself. Everything that had been, in being now and ever will be was hers, and hers to command. Her eyes opened to crystal blue gems, glistening with deep resolve.
{Yes, it is time for the people of the Earth and colonies to meet the one that holds the universe in her hands.}
She started to walk to the Peacecraft mansion and went in, all wa squiet. Everyone was alseep, no one knew about the resolve that had been made tonight. Or the actions atht would be taken tomorrow.
{I am who I am. Princess of the Light, eternal Soilder of the Universe. My name, Serenity (Moon) Cosmos.}
