[:::Chapter I:::]
On a planet, far off in the galaxy, a princess wept for her love. At the same time on the same planet another heart was breaking.
Sailor Star Fighter looked longingly off of her balcony, gazing at the distant solar system, which contained that beautiful blue planet, Earth. Healer and Maker approached her from behind. They were not as mad at her as she thought they would have been, or should have been for that matter.
The woman with the elegant silver hair, Healer, walked up and touched Fighter's shoulder. "We understand you know, we aren't the same people that left this planet all of those months ago. We've changed to, for the better perhaps, but either way with new love in our hearts we can't just ignore It." she said with a sorrowful tone to her voice.
"I'm sure you understand how the princess feels, since it is obvious you are feeling the same way about that girl, but please be reasonable. Remember to love the one that is right in front of you, the one that is here to give herself to you and not the one that is far away in the arms of another." With these words from Maker ringing in her ears Fighter's heart dropped into her stomach. Was she being foolish, did Maker have a point, but how could she just forget about her? Odango.
"No, I can't forget her, and so I am doomed I guess to spend a life time in the hell my own mind has created." she said as a tear rolled down her cheek. She had still not turned to face either of the two but continued to stare absently out at the night sky. "What should I do, I'm not confused about how I feel, but instead I'm confused about what I should do."
Maker hearing the sadness in her voice gave up her only option. "Well, there is no changing your heart, so I think you should do what you feel. You know we never disliked Usagi, when we were mean to her it was only to protect you. We saw this happening and couldn't see why you would love her so much, especially when you had our princess to think about. We gradually came to our senses and saw what you could see. We will understand if you want to leave us and return to Earth." It broke her heart to tell her friend this, and hoped deep down that she wouldn't take the advice and stay, but she knew that would never happen.
As Maker sighed at the thought, the princess came into sight. She had walked into the room and was now standing between Healer and Maker. Her eyes were red and her face was marked with the trails of many tears. She knew that Fighter no longer loved her, as if she ever did, she knew that she was just fooling herself and being selfish. She looked first at Maker then at Healer and they took this as their cue to leave them alone. They did as she wished.
Fighter was aware that the princess, her princess, was standing behind her silently and continued to take in the night sky. The princess didn't make any gestures toward her love but instead made one request. "Fighter,.. I know what you're feeling is hard. I know you're confused. but please don't think about my feelings when making your decision on what you should do. you know that I will always love you, I can't help that, but I have others here that I love too. to ask you to stay with me. that on my part would be selfish. and if I did love you as much as I say. I would let you go and let you be happy." The princess choked the last few words out as she saw Fighter's head pick up.
Fighter being silent until now, she turned around to face the princess to give her the respect that she deserved and in a low, almost unheard whisper, said thank you.
"I wish you the best of luck with your love. My army is revamped and there appears to be no threat of was at the moment, so you are free to leave whenever you wish. The only thing that I ask of you is that you remember me." The princess was not crying as she thought she would be but instead had a warm feeling in her heart and wore a smile on her face. "I'm sure Healer and Maker would be more than pleased to go with you when you leave, they would miss you as much as I would if they didn't. I don't mind".
Healer and Maker were listening from out in the corridor with wide ears and even wider eyes. "Do you want to stay?" Maker looked at Healer. "I'm up for an adventure," Healer retorted. "She'll need us by her side. What if her love won't accept her, do you think that she'll still stay and be tortured by the sight of her with her love everyday?" "I think she will," Healer stated "and that is why she can't go alone."
The door opened and the princess walked out with a smile on her face and a new light in her heart. She knew what she did was right and for that felt her heart lift and glow.
Without a word Healer and Maker made their way to Fighter and embraced her in a hug that she could not avoid.
"When do we leave?"
"Tonight!" said Fighter as she looked away from her companions and towards that distant blue planet wrapped in the soft glow of the silver moonlight. "Tonight!"
