UM21
I have gotten many votes for U+M, so I. . . may. . . NOT do that! Or I may! I don't know!
I'm going to count the starlights as girls from now on, as they are. (They only change sex in the anime)

Usagi fell down, into the cold, dark water. Flailing her arms helplessly, she tried to float, but couldn't, and went under. She tried to scream, but water got in her mouth. She just remembered thinking she didn't want to die, before blacking out.
Mamoru watched, in a state of shock, contemplating what she had just said. 'Not my child? Then whose?' She had never mentioned being unfaithful to him, but after all this who would? It wasn't Seiya, as she's a girl. He vaguely looked down at Usagi, sinking under. He felt he should save her, but. . .
Mamoru clenched his fists, wondering what to do. Just as he decided to save her, a flash occurred, and someone appeared over the water. She floated over, picked up Usagi, and put her on the dock again. He gasped when he saw who it was.
"S... Sere... Serenity?!" Mamoru stared at her, ans she angrily lay Usagi down. She took no notice of him, just looking at Usagi very angrily, and muttering some off-color words at her.
Serenity looked at him, finally. It was a look of someone who hasn't had a very good, day, and not to mess with them. "What are you staring at?!" she said slowly.
"Uh... um... nothing, really!" He sweat dropped, and looked around somewhere, anywhere except there.
"You look like you're staring at me, hm?" When he didn't answer, she continued. "Well, I suppose you have reason to, wondering why I'm here, not in my own time?" He nodded. "Well, it's because of her." She gestured to Usagi. "I take it she just told you?"
Mamoru nodded. "Was it true? I mean, she didn't just make it up, right?"
Serenity sighed. "It's true." She glanced over at the still form of Usagi. "It didn't happen so fast in my time, but because of all this, she's probably already pregnant. I've hidden the fact of it so long, and because of all the trouble you two have been through, she wouldn't have told you either."
"I take it you're not going to tell me who the real father is?" Serenity shook her head.
"I'll leave that for her to decide. I didn't tell Endymion, so I don't think she's going to tell you." She paused. Usagi stirred. "She's waking up." Serenity sighed, then kneeled down by Usagi.
Usagi opened her eyes slowly, then coughed. She saw Serenity. Her eyes went wide, and she stammered "Wh... what are you doing here?" Serenity glared at her. "You should talk. What are YOU DOING here?"
"You're not talking about?"s
"Oh yes I am."
"But I. . ."
"I told you not to tell!"
Usagi paused. She remembered that. "Oops..."
**Flashback**
It was back when they had went to the past while under attack from Nemesis, and just won. Serenity and Usagi were talking in private.
Usagi- "What's the best part of the future?"s
Serenity- "Probably being queen of the earth."
Usagi- "It must be great, living here, and married to Mamoru, having your very own child with him!"
Serenity- "Yes. . . my child. . ."
Usagi- "But it's his child too, isn't it?"
Serenity- "I probably shouldn't tell you this, but. . . she's not."
Usagi- "O_O... Then who's her father?!?!?!"
Serenity- (Sticks out tongue) Not tellin'! And if you tell him, you're as good as dead!!"
Usagi- "But then you'd be dead too!"
Serenity- "I'd rather be dead then have him know!"
Usagi- "At least tell me who the father is, so I won't screw up the future!"
Serenity- "You're going to have to screw it up anyway... sorry! That was a joke. . . Ok, the father is. . ." (Whispers in Usagi's ear. Usagi screams)
Usagi- "You've got to be kidding! Him?! No way!!"
**End flashback**
"Oohhh... I remember now..." Usagi looked up at Serenity apologetically "Sooooorrryyyyy......."
"DID YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT WOULD DO TO MY TIME?! I WAS HAPPY! I WAS MARRIED TO A HANDSOME MAD, HAD A WONDERFUL CHILD, AND WAS QUEEN, GOD DAMMIT!!! HAVE YOU ANY IDEA WHAT HE WOULD DO IF HE FOUND OUT, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, THAT I WAS CONSTANTLY LYING TO HIM ABOUT HIS CHILD'S PARENTAGE? EVEN MORE THAN THAT, I WAS #^%&ING UNFAITHFUL TO HIM!!! HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOUR HUSBAND RAN OFF LIKE THAT!!!" Serenity took a deep breath before she passed out.
"Lucky for me, he hasn-" Usagi looked around. Mamoru was gone. "OH NO! HE RAN OFF JUST LIKE ENDYMI-"
"Relax, Usagi, I'm just over here. . ." Mamoru crawled out behind a bench. "I didn't want my eardrums to burst."
"That explains the faint ringing in my ears. . ."
Serenity shook her head. "Besides the point." She pointed to Usagi. "You. On the playground. 3:00." She checked her watch. "2:55. Just enough time to get to the playground!"
****5 minutes later****
Usagi said "What are we doing on the playground?"
Serenity said "We are going to have a showdown."
Usagi said "Why"
Serenity said "Because I said so. And I want you dead."s
"You'll die, too."
"I know that. But what's important is that you'll be dead, too."
"Uh... can I say something."
"You can, but MAY you?" (Uh-oh... grammar police!)
"We're the same person. If you want me to die, why don't you just kill yourself?" Usagi said, hoping Serenity understood time-travel as badly as the author did.
"No, because I am the future, and if I died, you would still be alive until you were as old as me, when you would comeback in time, but there would be no one, since you're already grown up, so you would live a normal life!" Serenity took a deep breath, as she had said it all in one breath.
"All right, bring it on, Serenity!"
"Get ready, Usagi!"
The two bared their teeth, stuck out their tongues, sand made faces at each other before assuming battle poses like the DBZ characters.
"Let's get it on!"
Mamoru watched all this from the safety of behind the bench, trembling. "Help....."
