Usagi crawled out of the bed after a few minuets of pondering her new theory. She changed quickly into a thin white dress, it was simple with spaghetti straps, and it reached a little above her knees showing off her creamy legs. She quietly put on some sandals and she made her way out of the room and into the dorms' dark hallway. She checked the clock once she was right by the exit doors and saw it read 3am. She cringed when she read the numbers knowing she was going to have to pay for being up so early in the morning when school started.
Usagi crept out of the building leaving a rock to prop open the doors so she wouldn't be locked out. She walked in the cool night air until she came upon a rose garden that made her feel sick to her stomach. The roses made her think of Mamoru and Endymion. She didn't turn around however instead she walked toward the gardens and found a quiet spot near a fountain and she sat in the cool grass, trying her best not to throw up. She knew that she was going to have to get used to roses, for they were a symbol of love and one day she wanted someone to give her that symbol of love, and not feel like she was going to throw chunks. Usagi undid the straps on her sandals and let her feet free from their confinement and then she went back to looking at the roses until her stomach couldn't take it anymore and she stopped looking at the scenery around her and looked up at the night sky. The moon was almost visible behind a little cloud cover.
Usagi suddenly felt cold prick at the back of her neck and she heard a twig snap. She whirled her head in the direction of the sound and what she saw surprised her. Duo stood a few feet away, wearing an outfit that looked completely odd from the priest suit he usually wore, instead he wore a black shirt and pants and clunky combat boots, his hair was in its usual binding of a braid. What had come about the sudden change of attire? She shook it off; he had to have just grabbed whatever was on his floor, or had no other clothes. She had ALWAYS seen him in that priest suit, that or his school uniform.
Usagi stood up, hoping to get his attention, which she did, for he turned toward her, his usual happy eyes seemed to show an oldness he had been holding back. "Duo-kun? Daijoubu?" She asked softly. Her heart began to ache, what was this feeling? His deep eyes turned from hers and he muttered out a weak "I'm fine." She took a step toward him. "Iie, you're not. Are you alright?" She asked again. He looked toward her an old soul stared back at her through them. Usagi let her happy façade like eyes disperse and she too let her blue, flicked with silver, eyes stare back at him as well and she could see his eyes widen at the sudden change of both color and change in her personality.
Usagi stepped forward and wrapped her arms around the ex-pilot, making him stiffen for a brief moment before he melted into her and let her comfort him for whatever reason. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her small frame as well. "Duo-kun, no matter what, if you're sad, I'll be here for you." She said softly making his eyes snap open. He took a step back and took a good look at her, a look of confusion on his face. He studied her for a moment, his eyes widening again. She looked at him, confusion and hurt from his sudden movement; did he not trust her words? Her mind began to work as he studied her and she realized, perhaps he had heard those words before from someone he cared about. Then it seemed to click in place. She began to study him as well and realized Shinigami and him had he same build and looked about the same, although his face was distorted in her dream, she began to search inside herself hoping she could find a way to read his aura like Hotaru was supposed to teach her soon. A flash of light blinded her vision for a moment, but Duo was oblivious, and she wondered for a moment if she had been the only one to see it, but a moment later she saw something amazing, she saw a silver glow around hands and feet, and all around her. Her eyes immediately flicked over Duo, a deep purple glow surrounded him stripped with black and silver. Didn't Hotaru once tell her that purple was her color because she was so close to death and destruction, and hadn't she transformed in a purple aura? That could only mean… The aura's flickered and she stopped seeing it from loss of concentration.
"Serenity-sama." Usagi's eyes widened when Duo breathed out her name and he dropped to his knees and kneeled low at her naked feet. "Shinigami-sama." She too said his name, but not in the way he had said her own, she said his with warmth; he had said hers in an unbelieving tone that was dripping with respect for her formal title.
Usagi's breath caught in her throat as she saw the full moon immerge from the clouds. "Goddess Selene, this must be a sign." She said staring at the white orb in awe. As soon as theses words were uttered she let out a cry of surprise as her clothing twisted into that of Serenity's and she could feel the color drain from her face and all went black for her.
Duo looked up and saw Usagi's transformation and stood as soon as her hair and eyes turned completely silver. Her eyes looked down upon him and then she smiled a ghostly smile. "Ohayo, Shi-kun." She said, her voice held the serene quality of Princess Serenity. "You took over her body didn't you Sere-chan?" He said, his eyes flicking over her feminine form. "Hai, she hasn't excepted me yet so I cannot fully be me yet." She said softly. "Will she remember what happened tonight?" He asked. "Hai, she will emerge in a few moments… she knows that we were lovers Shi-kun." Serenity said. "That could make for an awkward situation." He said truthfully. "Hai, but she needed to know that she didn't love Endymion… She needed to know that WE didn't love Endymion." She said corrected. Duo nodded. "I have to go, the moon is about to be consumed from the clouds and I don't have enough power to stay when it's gone. Please ask her to take me, I don't want to be
split anymore." She silver eyes bore into his own, pleading with him to make her whole again. "Hai, I will ask her." He said with a smile. She let a beautiful smile play across her lips and she wrapped her arms around him.
The dress around her body began to shorten, and her eyes turned back to the silvery blue, and her hair began the golden blond that it had been. She was Usagi again. "What happened, everything went dark?" Usagi asked of Duo. "Your other half came out and spoke to me." He said with a sad smile as she pulled out of his grasp. "Other half? You mean Serenity-sama?" She asked. "Iie, your other half… when you were reborn, Queen Serenity-sama made sure you wouldn't be complete, she didn't want me to know it was you so she changed you and left the parts she thought would come in handy." Usagi's nose wrinkled in confusion. "So you're saying, I'm not complete?" He nodded. "Hai, you're not who you could be, you just need to except the other half and you will be you again, complete with memories." Usagi thought for a moment. Could she truly be Serenity again? "What would happen to me?" Usagi asked. "You would still be you, just with all the talents and things you haven't had since the silver millennium. You aren't complete, you are split in two, don't you see! You won't survive without her for long! Onagai!" Duo took her hands into her own, pleading with her to become the princess she was, to become whole again. "Even she wasn't the same! Serenity wasn't that serious like you always took her for, she was warm and caring, she was smart as well, and occasionally she WAS a klutz." He admitted. Usagi smiled knowing he spoke the truth, he wouldn't lie to her. She nodded and closed her eyes.
The change began to take place as her dress again looked like her princess one, her hair turned silver, her suddenly became jagged and short as if it were cut off with a knife, and lastly her memories began to surface. She could remember every moment of every day of her life on the moon, and her love for Shinigami, the one she was forbidden to be with because of his loyalty to the underworld, he was supposed to be forever alone, but she had found a love in him no one could concur.
She opened her eyes, showing him the silver ones he was familiar with, and the old soul of Serenity looked back at him. "Shi-kun." She whispered. "Gomen, for not realizing it was you when I first arrived." She said wrapping her arms around his neck. He let his arms wrap around her and the two lovers shared an embrace under the white moon.

(AN-I'm going to be calling Usagi-chan, Serenity now so don't be confused!)
Serenity made her way back into her bed. She was tired from the events that took place, and she was sure Duo, as her Shi-kun liked to be called, would be going to sleep in his own room as well. She slowly drifted off, dreaming of his touch, but was abruptly awoken by Chibi-Usa's scream and of course the pillow that was continuously hitting her.
She opened her eyes and let out a scream as a pillow, that was aimed at her head nearly hit her. "Chibi-Usa! What the hell are you doing!?" She asked irritably. "Why do you look so different?" Chibi-Usa accused. "Because I wasn't complete!" She spit back.
The door was suddenly thrown open. "What's all this… S-Serenity… you've excepted the other half!" Setsuna took a step back in disbelief. How could this happen?
