"I... I can't believe they're dead," Lita said.

"Serena can't be dead! Amy can't you check you scanner one more time?" Ray asked.

"What would be the use? She's scanned the entire planet three times. A life force can't die out and then suddenly appear again," Minna stated.

"Then why haven't they found her body!" Ray cried. "She's Serena! She's Sailor Moon! She can't just die! Do you hear me? You can't just die!" she screamed at the grave before them. She dropped down to her knees and rested her head on the gravestone as she cried.

"Ray..." Amy said with worry.

"Inner senshi."

All the scouts looked up. Amy was the first to speak. "Hello Pluto."

"Ray, you needn't cry any more. Serena is very alive," Pluto said.

"How? We've scanned everything," Lita said.

"Because she is in the future," Pluto stated.

"In Crystal Tokyo?" Minna asked.

Pluto shook her head. "No. Due to the events Crystal Tokyo will not be formed. But something to that affect will be. At the time Serena is at, it is already constructed, though it is a icon for peace rather than a place to rule from."

"So why did you come to us?" Ray asked.

"Because there will be an evil resurfacing and it will try to destroy the kingdom that's so important for peace to prevail," Pluto explained. "And I want you to go and help Serena."

"Of course we will!" Minna said.

"Then you'll be on your way," Pluto said and without warning opened up a time gate. "You have all been enrolled into St. Gabrielle's so report there. Your clothes and some extra money have been placed in your dorms. You'll meet Serena there."

They all nodded and stepped into the gate.

"No... No, no, no, no, no!!" Serena shouted, gaining some odd looks from the others in the library. She read over the article once, then twice. How could this possibly be?!

"Excuse me, miss, but would you mind keeping it down?" a man with a long braid asked politely. "Hey are you okay? You don't look so hot. What are you reading that's making you cry so much. Hey!! You look like that girl in the picture. Are you related or something?"

"Y-yes, I guess you could say that," she said. "But she's not dead!"

"That newspaper is over three thousand years old. I'd say she's dead," he said.

Serena threw the newspaper at him. "No she's not!" she screamed and stormed out of the library.

"Sheesh what's up with her. Yuy? Hey Heero! What's up?"

"Have you seen a girl go by here? With long blond hair that goes up in two buns?" he asked.

"You just missed her, bud. She stomped out, screaming that this girl wasn't dead. As if. This paper dates back three thousand years ago in Tokyo!" Heero promptly grabbed the paper away from Duo and started reading. His eyes narrowed and he took off after her. Duo raised an eyebrow. "What is up with them? Oh, it's almost three! I better get over to Q-man's house!" Then he too ran out of the library.

Heero tossed the newspaper on the desk in front of Quatre. "Read."

"That girl looks like Serena," he commented as he read it. "My God. Didn't she say that Darien was her boyfriend?"

He nodded and signaled for him to keep reading. "But Heero, this paper is too old for it to be her."

"It would make sense, wouldn't it? It's the reason the computers can't find her family. That system was only devised three hundred years ago. She said she lived in Tokyo, and her boyfriend was shot. Only her blood was found. Blood from her bullet wound."

"You want me to believe that she's from the past?" Quatre asked.

"I don't want you to believe anything. I'm just... I don't know."

"HeeeLLOOOO!!"

"That would be Duo," Quatre said.

"I'm going to work out. I'll see you later," Heero said and made his way to the courtyard. Once there, he stretched for a while to warm up. Afterwards he did a series of punches, kicks, and flips. Suddenly he stopped and without even looking behind him he said, "I know you're there. You can come out now."

A very embarrassed and a very red Serena walked away from her spot and made her way up to Heero. "I was here first ya know," she informed him.

"Hn."

"How did you learn all that? The martial arts stuff?" she asked innocently.

"Someone taught me," he said.

"Um... You wanna spar?" she asked.

If Heero was at all surprised by the question, he didn't show it. "I can't fight you."

"Why not?" she asked.

"Because I'd hurt you," he said.

"I don't think so bub!" she said. She hadn't been Sailor Moon all those years and not come out with a few good moves!

He almost smirked. "Believe me, this is something you don't want to do."

"Believe me, I really want to do it!" she whined.

"All right," Heero said. "Don't blame me if I brake your arm or something."

"Don't worry, 'cause in the name of the Moon, I will defeat you!" she said and got into her old stance.

Heero raised an eyebrow at her. 'What on earth was that?!' But he really had no time to thing. Serena had just launched her attack.
