Usagi pulled back from Mamoru's tender lips. She took his hand and smiled, leaning on his arm; being still too short for his shoulder. "This is finally the end, now we can live in peace." Mamoru looked down at the golden crown of her head and thanked the powers for letting him keep the strong, blue eyed angel that would never let him down. The park was quite; birds slept in the trees above as cherry blossoms floated around in the wind like rain. The smell was entrancing. Suddenly feeling dizzy; Usagi's hand slipped from Mamoru's and pressed against her temple. "Usagi-chan?" Her stomach turned along with her world. She was caught in his arms and lifted from the sidewalk. Something was very wrong.

".They say there's nothing they can do."

".Scouts, I never thought I'd have to tell you this but Usagi is dying."

".only the black universal pearl can stop the heart illness."

".Luna we have to give her the pearl."

".No, it wouldn't save her now, she's too far gone."

".I am very sorry."

Usagi's eyes opened as she looked around the homely hospital room. She couldn't hear anything but she saw Mina and Mamoru outside the door frame as Rei paced the hallway. Setting up in the bed and forcing her flaccid legs to reach the cold tiled floor of the empty room; her debilitated body protested as she moved. Thoughts screamed inside her mind and a hand clenched her aching chest. The agony was strong in her veins; it was like pain was her blood. She bent over and preyed for strength as she held back the constrained in her soar azure blue eyes. "I, I." her lips opened and moved but the words wouldn't come out. She dropped to her hands and knees and gasped for the air that her lungs denied her. Setsuna entered in a flash of light; unseen to the rest. "Usagi..." she spoke and leaned down, helping the blond stand and walking her to the her bed. Usagi squinted up at the green haired time keeper and smiled. "Pluto-sama, I.I am so weak. You must do me a great favors." Setsuna nodded and sat next to the future queen.

There was a loud crash from the room. Running into the room; Setsuna laid next to a broken vase of roses Mamoru had brought for his dying beloved. Amiko bent down and felt a pulse. "Still alive. She's just going to wake up with a very big bump." Rei ran to the open window. "Usagi!" she screamed looking around frantically. She turned and faced the others. "I don't see her anywhere!" Lita cleared her throat signally the others to face her. "I think she took the key." Amiko smiled and nodded. "I don't see it either." Mina sighed as she leaned against a wall near the window. "But why would she go back in time, she'd still get sick?" The moment of silence was broken by Luna's gasp. "The Black Universal Pearl!"
