~Mistress Midnight, Middy
----------*~
Floating...Usagi wanted to mutter, but felt an enfolding laziness consume her. It felt so nice to remain this way...but then why was a pounding from inside her growing more insistent, desperate, and impatient? Like someone wanted to reach out to her or beyond her...Deep within almost like a memory from long, long ago...
The purity of the glow surrounded Usagi and Setsuna, cradling the two soldiers in a warm and comforting embrace. Gently, their clothes exploded into pink and black ribbons as they floated caught between their transformations. The black glow of the sign of Pluto blazed brightly, radiating Setsuna's contained power. Somewhere from deep in her mind, Setsuna knew it was too dangerous to stay floating in this abyss of power like they were, but the temperate light was so soothing, so relaxing...Easing out of her sleep like state, Pluto's eyes fluttered open and gazed directly at the seemingly dozing Usagi. Their hands were still tenderly clasped and the guardian of time struggled to remember why she was hovering here. Fighting the drowsy sensation that tried to lull her back to sleep, Setsuna reached out for the suspended blonde's rosy cheek. Millimeters away, she felt herself being dragged under the tender wave of power and her eyes began to drift shut. Tears of hopelessness swan in her eyes as she still fought to remain awake.
"Serenity...," Setsuna's words barely fringed the edge of a whisper, were filled with dull resigned sadness.
Usagi could barely breath as she felt the pounding grow at the whisper of a single name. Her heart was expanding with an urgent need to be free...Deep within her, she was sure she heard a voice calling out.
"Please...let me out...Setsuna is calling...she needs my help, let me help," the voice was gently pleading and so very persuasive that Usagi released a barrier that she hadn't even realized existed in her mind. "Arigato..." was the last things she heard before she drifted into a deep sleep.
Deep sapphire eyes flew open completely awake and aware. Soft fair hair morphed to silvery white and a glowing golden crescent moon glimmered with reserve power. Instead of fighting against the overwhelming power that surrounded her, she clasped tightly to Pluto and began to slowly take the power into her own small frame. Her body absorbed the enormous power that began to slowly spiral. The light entered her skin making her glow even more than she naturally did. Serenity felt her reserve painfully fill up as she held tightly to the unconscious senshi in her arms. Ribbons faded back into clothing and the light began to dim. Gradually and straining fiercely, she pulled Setsuna and herself back into the arcade bathroom. Gently, she cradled the tall woman in her arms and smiled down at her.
"Pluto...Pu, wake up," Serenity's voice called out, softly shaking the sleeping guardian.
Shaking her head to clear her muddled mind, Setsuna stared up at the ethereal silver angel that emitted an aura of tenderly controlled power.
"Serenity? Sere? Sere! It's really you!" Pluto exclaimed embracing the princess in a fierce hug. Tears of relief streamed down her face as clung to the silver girl. Sniffling, she pulled back. "Are you feeling ok? You're not hurt are you?"
Serenity smiled serenely and shook her head, "No. I'm perfectly fine Pu."
Smiling weakly, Setsuna reached up brushing her fingers against the crescent moon that glowed brightly beneath Serenity's silver hair and felt the sign of Pluto on her own forehead glow back in response.

Mamoru's dark head jerked up from his coffee his eyes searching and his heart tugging in his chest. His breathing became shallow as he barely could bring himself to believe what he felt. Never before had he ever felt so sharply the part of him that was missing and so...whole at the same time. An instinct stored so where in the deep predatory part of his mind alerted him and finally he could find her. SHE WAS HERE!
A single word escaped his lips as he stood completely awe struck, "Princess..."
The sheer gently love and benevolence that radiated from her presence made him dizzy. Was she looking for him? Could she fill in the gaps that amnesia had clouded? He had to find her! She was so close! Mamoru's fingers itched to reach for his transformation rose and find her quickly and damning any consequences of somebody seeing him! Mamoru felt giddy and elated. SHE WAS HERE! His handsome features became a sudden fierce frown and he stood unconsciously. He had to get to her...Through his frustration he knew she was in the Arcade. Gradually, Mamoru allowed himself to relax and depend on his instincts to find her. Without hesitation he headed to the back of the Crown Arcade.

Glaring at the people who stood and stared, Endymion continued down the sidewalk at a brisk pace. Frustration filled him as he recognized nothing.
"Damnation! Where the he--"
He wrenched to a stop his head twisted towards the south end of town. SERENITY! She was trapped here too? Immediately, the armored prince turned on his heel towards his princess and the Crown Arcade. Questions were blocked by his need to simple be by her side and know she was safe. Holding tight to his only link to her, he concentrated fiercely. Something was different...What was going on?! Things weren't the same. Was Serenity okay? Why did she feel so different and yet the same? Fear for his princess pushed him onward. Blocking out the possible things that could have happened, his heart lurched painfully at the thought of something happening to her. If he didn't get to her soon he would go insane. Gripping tightly to the reassuring thought that she was still alive, he did the only thing he could sanely do...he ran.

Together Serenity and Setsuna stood. Curiously, Serenity studied the odd garment that belonged to Usagi. Cocking her head to the side in question, she turned her inquisitive eyes towards Pluto.
"Why were we in that abyss of power, Pu? Where are we now and what is this am I wearing? How--" Serenity's stream of questions were halted as Pluto raised her hands.
Peering closely at the frail princess, Setsuna stared for a minute before hesitating, "You don't know Sere?"
Serenity stared up at the ancient guardian and felt a deep fear seep into her body. Different, everything was too different. Where was she? Was she ever going home again? Her mother! Her friends! "Endymion!" The princess jerked up suddenly then blinked completely confused, "Endymion?" She turned her focused inward on their link that they had shared. Two connections? Both were so different unlike HER Endymion...Two different people. They were not her prince, but they were? Stumbling, Serenity clutched her head and pushed down the urge to panic, run, and hide. Her heart pounded and dimly she heard Pluto calling out to her...It was so hard to breath! Where was all the air? Staring up at Pu, she silently conveyed her pain and clung the tall woman, the only part of this place that made sense in her world had so rapidly turned upside down.
"Please Pu...air...it's so hard to...breathe here...," Serenity gasped, holding tight to her friend.
Setsuna's eyes widen and clutched the suddenly so very frail girl in her arms, "SERENITY!"
