AN: Ohayo minna-chan! I'm back!!! And guess what... I solved the mystery: It was Mrs. White in the Library with the Lead Pipe!!! Actually, I am now able to space my fics because I got Microsoft Word (I guess ff.net just doesn't like AppleWorks). So it will be a bit easier to read from now on.

"..." is talking, '...' is thought, [...] is AN, (...) is extra info but part of the fic, ... means trailed off, -- means interrupted. I do not own Dragon Ball Z/GT or Sailor Moon. I *do* own this idea about Chichi's past, so please don't copy. Enjoy! R & R.

I watched silently as Dende put his hands over the Dragonballs to summon the dragon. Finally, after so many long years, I might finally have my wish. The balls glowed and shot up into the now blackened sky. Lightning flashed and slowly the glowing outline of Eternal Dragon filled the sky.

"Here he comes," mumbled Krillin.

o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

I suppose I should start from the beginning. It began long ago, at the Last Battle. The day when life as I knew it came to an abrupt end . . .

o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

It was horrible. We were all weakened from fighting Chaos. Pluto nodded and we knew it was time- time to combine our powers.

Chaos watched, amused, as we formed a circle around our confused leader (we had kept it a secret from her). Slowly each of us was surrounded by an eerie glow and our planets' symbols blazed on our foreheads. [AN: Think of when they are teleporting.] The glowing auras that had surrounded us all formed into columns of light that flew into the air, and then combined and arched downward- right on top of Sailor Moon.

Slowly, with new power coursing through her, she stepped closer to Chaos. Sailor Cosmos, the greatest of all Sailor senshi. We all felt a great energy drain from giving her some of our power, but we forced ourselves to stay on our feet.



Oh, how I regret it now. If only I had given her *all* my power; if only we all had. Not knowing how much was needed, we had all contributed half of our energy. If we had given it all, we would have died, but she would have lived.

Sailor Cosmos faced Chaos. They began an amazing duel. Neither could seem to gain the upper hand. On and on it lasted, seeming to never end.

Then Cosmos stepped back. She glanced back at us, her senshi, and smiled. "Thank you for everything," she whispered.

She turned back to Chaos, her face grim and determined. She pulled out her Ginzuishou and began her final attack.





I won't go into details, it is still a painful memory. But after her attack, Chaos was gone. Cosmos fell to her knees, and then fell face-first to the ground. We rushed to her side.

"Goodbye . . . my friends," she whispered. She closed her eyes and breathed her last.

"Koneko!" screamed Haruka.

"Princess!" gasped Setsuna.

"Usagi," whispered Minako, tears streaming down her face.

The rest of us could just stare, in stunned silence, not believing what we had just witnessed. Her body vanished, becoming nothing more than silvery butterflies flying up towards the moon.

o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~



From that day on, we all went our separate ways. There was a funeral service for Tsukino Usagi, but that was the last time I saw everyone together.

After that day, we all tried to go on with life. Ami began studying to be a doctor; Minako began to pursue her dream as a movie star. Mamoru disappeared; I have never seen him since, but I assume he probably has a family by now. I gave up as a priestess, leaving the temple to Chad, and moved into an apartment with Ami to attempt to become a successful singer.

Haruka took up professional racing, and Michiru could have gone to the Olympics for swimming, but neither of their careers lasted long. Like all of us, a piece of their heart seemed to be missing. The light was gone . . . forever. The Princess we had all grown to love and were supposed to protect, had died, protecting us. We all held so much regret.

Makoto tried to become a chef, but her cooking never tasted the same anymore without Usagi around to eat it. It all held too many memories. When the Outers left to continue to patrol the solar system, Makoto went with them. She is truly an Outer by birth, but she was raised as an Inner since the Inner princesses were closer to her age. Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, Setsuna, and Makoto left, and I have never seen them since.

Minako did fairly well with her career. She used a stage name- Aphrodite. After a year or so, her career slowed, and I have heard of or about her since. She could be anywhere now.





Ami and I changed our names as well. We felt that with a new name we'd start a new life. She became Ami Anderson. I changed my name from Rei to Raye.

It was nice living with Amy, but she rubbed off on me. Slowly, I too became obsessed with the written word and gaining intelligence. We decided that there must be some other way to gain peace without fighting, without possibly losing someone you hold dear. We concluded that it was true. To quote Thomas Pane, [Gomen if that is the wrong person.] "The pen is mightier than the sword." We do not need physical fighting; peace can be solved by people who talk out problems and who know what they are doing. Intelligent people with a good attitude towards life. I held onto this theory the rest of my life.









After about two years, Amy decided it was time to move on. She left for Germany to continue to pursue her dream. At first, letters came at least every week. She told me how tough school was and that she missed me and the good times in the past.

Then they came every month. She told me how wonderful graduation was and how great it was to be a true doctor. She choose to become a pediatrician, to be able to help kids.

Her schedule became busier and the letters less frequent. Two or three a year, if I was lucky. Then they just stopped, and I haven't heard any news from her since.









Not long after she left, I decided it was time to really start my own career. I was currently working at a restaurant for little more than minimum wage and just managed the rent. So I began to enter various contests and to sing at bars and festivals. It never really took off, but I did get extra money for singing.











I was flipping through a magazine one day. I decided to change my name again. Raye sounded just like Rei, which was connected to too many memories. I needed something unique, but not too odd, something that everyone would remember when they wanted to hear me sing. I stopped at a page that caught my attention. It was a picture of a woman in a frilly dress with maracas in her hands. I read the print at the bottom.

"Come to Chichi's," it read, "and join the party."

I knew then that I had found my new name.



o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

One day, I saw an advertisement. It was for the World Martial Arts Tournament that would be held just outside the city. I decided to sign up; martial arts had left my life when Grandpa died and I really wanted to try it again.

I entered, not really expecting much, but knowing there was nothing I could lose. After all, I needed the money. That is when I first met *him*. Goku. He faced me in the ring for the first time. I never really expected to win, but I definitely didn't expect to meet someone like Goku in the tournament. He changed my life forever.



Well, one thing soon led to another. Before I knew it, we were married and I was expecting my first son.

You know the rest. I tried to name him Einstein, but instead we decided on Gohan. I raised him the best I could, hoping that I would not loose him too, and that he could bring peace using his brain, not his fist. But I suppose it was destiny that I be with the world's strongest man. Fighting didn't leave my life as I hoped; it never has. I left my past behind, and became a new person with a new life. I tried to forget them all. I tried to forget Usagi . . . . . . But I couldn't.



So finally, after so many long years of suffering and regret, I told Goku that I had a wish. I refused to tell him what it was, but he still helped me. We (or rather he) gathered the dragonballs.

o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~



The Z fighters all assembled on top of Kami's lookout. Goku, and my two sons, Gohan and Goten. Vegeta with Bulma(who had insisted on coming), Chibi Trunks and Mirai Trunks (after his mother died, he returned with hopes of a better life). Tien, Chaotzu. Yamcha. 17. 18 and Krillin. Piccolo. The Eternal Dragon came to life and glared down at me. "What is your wish?" he asked in his deep rumbling voice. I took a breath. "I wish . . . I wish to resurrect Sailor Cosmos: Tsukino Usagi."

Please review: You are the ink of the author's pen and all that really keeps me going. It's so true! More after midterms are over. Ja ne! ~Calli-chan
