Bitter Fate

Chapter 3

"In every pain there is tremendous opportunity for overwhelming gain"

Little Useless Note: To answer the question to: "Say just out of curiosity...Do you have any idea what "star-crossed lovers" means"
Yes I do know what that means and I think it fits Vegeta and Serena very well.
I read Romeo&Juliet freshmen year. It means two lovers that will end tragically. Most likely death but they are not gonna die. Also I like the sound of: Star-Crossed
Cause they really did cross over stars to find each other.

I see not many ppl like Rini, LOL. Personally I don't like her either. Sorry this sorry is so very short and only three chapter but Forbidden Fate is the true sequel and this is kinda just a side story.

Serena

Tokyo has not changed much and Molly still lives in the same apartment with Melvin. It's been five years since I last seen her. I stand outside of her window, watching her and my goddaughter. The way Molly's face beamed at her daughter, makes me miss Rini. I need to talk to her, but not as Serena. I look at my nails, I will go as Sailor Moon, in my oldest transformation. I hope it works.
"Moon Prism Power!"

I tapped on the window. Molly sees me and gasp. I waved and smiled. She quickly rushed to me and opened the window.
"S- Sailor M- Moon? ?" she cried in awe. I smiled back and went inside. Molly's daughter quickly hid behind a couch.
"Lily dear, come out here and meet one of mommy's friend" Molly said. "She's only five but I swear she was 30 when she was born. Lily's very smart for her age"
Lily looked at me with eyes exactly like Molly's. "Serena" she said. I felt all the blood on my face drained. She did not say it as a question, it's like, she saw right through me.
"No honey" Molly said with a laugh. "This isn't Serena. She's Sailor Moon. She saved my life many times. Though..." Molly studies me feeling me feel uncomfortable. "I do see resemblance. I guess she thought you were Serena from the pictures I've been showing her"
"Serena send me here to see you since she cannot come herself" I said. Molly's eyes tearing up.
"Serena? Is she alright? Where is she now? How come she haven't called or written? Is she in trouble?" Molly said with worry.
"She's fine" I said. "She has some business to deal with from far away, she will come back some day" I assured. I will, someday.
"She's Lily's godmother. But she haven't even seen her yet..."
The adorable five year old sits there and just stares at me. Her eyes tells me she knew who I was and every secret I kept. I felt tired and the need of fresh air.
"I have to go" I said. I felt any minute I would shout who I really am and hug her and tell her everything.
"Wait!" Molly handed me a bunch of photo's. "Please give these to Serena and tell her I miss her. Please tell her to contact me as soon as she can"
I nodded. "Okay"
As I just was about to leave, I felt a tiny hand holding mine. I look down and sees Lily.
"He'll come back to you" she said in her child voice. I must have turned pale for I felt faint.
"What? What did you say?" I whispered feeling all my energy had been drained.
She smiles at me, like I was the child, and I felt like one right there and then. "He will find you. Everything will turn out all right" but than she frowned and her baby face looked somewhat older. "The evil has come back but you two will fight it together. Wait for him"
I didn't have to ask who is "him". I knew what she meant and she knew that I know.
"Oh don't mind Lily!" Molly said interrupting my thoughts. "Lily is always saying strange stuff. She's just learning how to talk so she repeats stuff she sees from TV. Goodbye Sailor Moon"
I waved but did not look at them. This Lily is one special girl. Did she just tell me a hint of the future?
Vegeta... Please come.

Just like that, the new era began. The city is made out of pure crystal and I was queen with my king beside me. I never got to see Molly again after that. But I did come back. I came back for Molly's funeral. Because I owe her that much. Humans these days can live much longer than what they could before. Molly lived a happy life till 113 years old. As the new time comes, so does a new story. My fate, had just begun.
