This scene comes from the dream sequence in chapter 4

"Mommy! My shoes won't FIT!" Koneko wined from up stairs, Hotaru took the glass of milk from my hand and patted my shoulder.

"She calls…" I left the kitchen and walked up stairs, skipping a few steps. "Yes?" I looked inside her room seeing the four year old struggling to put on her shinny black shoes. "Yes, Bunny?"

Koneko looked up at me, her blue eyes on the verge of tears. "My shoe won't fit."

"Oh, Hun." I crouch down in front of her; "You have you shoes on the wrong foot, that's all." I switched the shoes, and easily slipped them on. Usually the problem was the shoe would be too small because of her rapid growing.

"Mère?" She asked as I buckled her shoes, and straightened her purple uniform.

"Oui?"

"Some boys at nursery school…"

"Uh-uh…Your French, Bunny."

"Oui, some boys at Maternelle are teasing me because they think I'm better then them."

"Oh Bunny, they are just jealous. Because you are better then them, you're very special."

"Really?" She asked tilting her head, her blonde hair falling to one side.

"Really." I smiled and kissed the tip of her nose. "Now come on let's get you to school."

&*&*&

"Bunny is now technically four since it has been twenty four months equaling two years." I rubbed my temples; it was hard explaining to our closet friends about Bunny's rapid growth. I started called Koneko, Bunny two months after we moved here since it was hard for most people to pronounce Koneko. However, either fits her. Her room is filled, from floor to ceiling, with stuffed kittens and rabbits.

I took out a sheet of paper and placed it on my desk. When Bunny began to talk, I, for some reason, began writing a letter to everyone in Tokyo.

April 24;

Usagi has been doing very well in school, except she told me, this morning, that she is being teased for being different. She is not different, just special. She loves school, and Madame Sarah, her private school tutor, thinks she is the brightest student she has ever had. She loves sweets; I guess that will never change. Hotaru is now fifteen (1) she went through the "boyfriend phase" now I think, or hope, she is over it. Makoto is taking cooking courses at a University, Ami is in Medical School (of course), and myself, well, of course I am a mother, and I'm an assistant at a Insurance firm, also during my leisure I race. That is about it. Sayonara for now.

I placed it in the box with other letters I have not sent out, and probably never will. When I opened the drawer, I notice the brooch. "I'll have to tell her one day." I realized as I picked it up. "When she is older." I quickly placed it in the drawer and shut it.

"When I tell her….what will happened?"

&*&*&

"Hey Rei what's up?"

"Hey Mamoru." Rei turned and looked at the tall man coming towards her, her had on black pants, a black blazer and a red shirt. "You're looking good, what for?"

He shrugged, "No reason."

There was silence between the two.

"Wow, it's been two years, hm?" Rei looked up at the sky, leaning on her broom.

"Hai." Mamoru smiled as her watched to crows bicker over a piece of bread someone had thrown earlier.

"Good mood?"

"Hai." He said again, and turned back to Rei. "I have been thinking. Maybe Haruka is taking good care of Usagi, and she is happy. I just think that and-snap- I'm happy."

"Same here. I wish I could see her though." Rei said as one of the birds pecked the other and took the scrap of bread.

"Me too." Thee both watched as the bird that had the bread flew off into the sky.

&*&*&

"Mere!"

"Yes Bunny!" I placed down my papers, and rubbed my temples.

"I tore my blouse again!" She called back.

I heard Makoto giggle behind me. "How many times has it happened now?"

I shook my head and watched the now developed thirteen years old; literally bounce, down the stairs. "Mere! What am I going to do?"

"Put on a new one?" I offered and she just huffed. "Why not wear a t-shirt?"

"But it look's so UUUUGGGGLLLY, with this skirt!"

I looked down, "What skirt?"

"MOTHER!"

"Oh, don't mother me! Now change, you're thirteen and you don't need to be wearing that."

"Mere, you are so unfair, all of the girls are wearing them."

"Wearing what? I don't see anything!"

"Auntie Makoto, doesn't' it look so cute."

I glared at the brunette and she just shrugged "Hey don't get me in this."

"Auntie Ami!" Ami just turned back to her books. "I hate you all!" She yelled and balled her hands in a fist. I was taken back as Bunny raced up stairs wailing.

"She hates me?" I asked, placed my hand on my chest.

"Haruka, she was just upset. You know how teens are." Ami tried as a comfort

I sighed and nodded, "You're right, but she never said that to me. We use to be so close…"

"Yea, just go and talk to her."

&*&*&

Upstairs, I gently knocked on the door and without waiting for a reply I went it. "Bunny, we need to talk."

She had changed and was now wearing a pair of blue shirts and a golden yellow tank top. "About…" She sat down and I sat next to her.

"Many things. You know I love you."

Her face softened. "I know, and I love you too."

"Well," I took her hands in mine. "You're a princess."

"I know you tell me that everyday."

"No…I mean yes, but a real princess, of the moon." I spit out.

"Mere, are you drunk?" She lifted her pencil thin eye brow.

"What! No!" I took in a deep breath, and something caught my eye. "What's that?"

I heard her gasp, but before she could get up I grabbed it. "A cat?" It was not stuffed but a real one. It was a smooth tiger stripped cat with dark green eyes, "What the heck?" I mumbled when I realized the dark mark on its for head, 'it looks like the bottom half of my Uranus symbol and a…crescent moon on top?'

The cat seemed to smile, "Hello Uranus."

"Oh my God it talked!" I looked up to see Bunny on the other side of the room.

"My name is Eros, I'm Koneko or Bunny, which ever you prefer, guardian."

"How do you know who I am."

"I have been watching you for quite sometime now. Have you told her?"

"I was…"

"Tell, tell." He hopped from my hands and into a pile of clothes on the floor. "Don't mind me."

Still shocked I looked over at Bunny. "Bunny, I'm…uh…you're Sailor Moon and Princess of the Moon Kingdom."

Then I began the story, after I was done. She was still looking at the cat but had relaxed some. "I don't believe it."

"Well," I took out my henshin stick "Uranus Planet Power, Make-up!"

Never, had I saw my daughter's eyes got so huge. In place of her mother stood Sailor Uranus. "Been a while." I said twisting in my uniform.

"Mommy…?" She came up a poked me, "You're a super hero?"

"In a way…" I shrugged.

"Wow…" she poked me again.

"What about Auntie Ami and Makoto."

"Yes, and your sister Hotaru too."

"I am too."

"Yes, you're the leader of the inners, Sailor Moon."

Eros, appeared between us with the brooch in his mouth. It had changed, she silver crystal was now golden and the majority of the locket was blue and pink.

"Repeat after me 'Golden Sailor Moon Eternal Power, Make-up.'"

Slowly she instinctively lifted up the brooch, "Golden…Sailor Moon Eternal Power…Make-up!"

A bright light filled the room and in a flash, there was Sailor Moon, my daughter, standing there in a blue, gold, and white uniform. Her tiara sat at the top of her head the ends pointed up like cat ears and directly the behind the tiara laid two French braids trailing back and ended at her knees. Her uniform looked similar to Eternal Sailor Moons only the only difference was the colors.

Bunny, looked over her uniform her hands shaking. "Am I dreaming?"

"No, you're not Princess." Eros said gently.

I turned my back my gloved covered hand covering my mouth. Don't cry, don't cry.

"Mommy?"

I rushed over to her, and hugged her tightly. "My baby, I love you." I backed away from her now getting serious. "Your training now begins."

&*&*&

So? How was it? Rushed?

1. Wouldn't Hotaru be that age?
