I honestly couldn't help myself. I apologize for bringing them in, but I couldn't stop it! I've always wanted to do a story that incorporated them. Any objections? I hope not.

Responses to reviews are at the bottom, as always. Thanks everyone!

A change in pairings - Seiya is now paired with Setsuna.

This is a warning - I may not be able to update next weekend because ~shudders~ exams start next Thursday. This goes for Stars Above as well. If I can update I will but do not, I repeat, do not expect it. Wish me luck - ~sighs~ I'll need it.

Serenity's silver eyes began to glow with fury. The Crescent Moon on her forehead mimicked the motion, beginning to shine with a frightening intensity. Her hands opened and then clenched into tiny fists as she stood up, breathing calmly, or trying to. She glared at Dominos, who swallowed. Anyone else would have been ten miles away by now, but stubborness always did run in the Moon Line.

"Let. My. Children. Go." Serenity's words were ice cold, causing the now free students and senshi to shudder. The teachers who were now visible, and awake for that matter, lowered their wands, knowing that chances were, Dominos wasn't going too far with Saturn and Chibi-Moon alive.

"And if I don't?" Dominos scoffed, pretending to be less afraid then he really was. He scanned the perimeter for someone else on the Dark Side, but the area was vacant of all those who would fight willingly for the Dark Moon. Dominos' breathing became hitched and a bead of sweat rolled down the side of his face. With Voldemort, he wouldn't be afraid to take his niece on because if worst came to worst he could always shove Voldemort into the line of fire. On his own, however, it was different story.

"Momma, don't do anything stupid!" Saturn cried nervously, twisting in Dominos grasp. She wished she had her glaive, but she had involuntarily dropped it when Dominos had grabbed her.

Serenity closed her eyes and held up her hands. White magic began to twist within it, glowing brightly. She held her hand out, pointing at Dominos. Her silver eyes were cold, but at the same time burning with the fire of her magics, turning her eyes a strange white/silvery color. Dominos made a sudden motion and Chibi-Moon and Saturn were sent sprawling forward to the floor with cries of shocked pain.

"This isn't over, Serenity!" Dominos hissed in anger. Turning, he strode into a dark-colored portal that had mysteriously appeared behind him. Thunder boomed and lightening crashed as the portal closed behind him and then the portal itself closed in on itself and faded away from existence.

"Mommy?" Chibi-Moon looked at Serenity tentatively, wringing her hands. Beside the rose-haired child, Saturn got to her feet. Slowly, Serenity's eyes became silver once more and the white glow around her died away. She looked at Chibi-Moon, relief now in her eyes instead of fierce anger.

"Oh, Chibi-Usa, Hotaru." She held her arms out and both girls ran into them. Serenity hugged them both tightly. "I'm so glad you're both okay," Serenity murmured, rocking them both back and forth gently. She planted a kiss on top of both their heads and sighed, grateful the scenario hadn't turned out like Dominos' had probably wanted it to. Suddenly, she became aware of a shadow standing before her and looked up into emerald eyes.

Serenity rose slowly, Chibi-Moon and Saturn stepping away from her to stand on either side. Serenity bit her lip, inadvertently drawing blood. Every part of her body bade her to run into Star Knight's arms and never let go. But did he remember? Would he allow it? Serenity didn't think she could bare it if he rejected her after all this time apart.....

"You know," Star Knight said slowly. She jerked her eyes to his and silver clashed against emerald. She caught her breath, hardly daring to breathe as he stepped forward, gently cupping the side of her face the way he had the last time they had spoken. "I did keep my promise."

"What promise?" Serenity whispered, closing her eyes and feeling Star Knight's gentle breath upon her lips. Every part of her prayed for this not to be a dream. She'd waited for this since the first time she had henshined into Sailor Moon. Would the gaping hole inside of her soul finally be filled by her soulmate? Would the ache that had constantly plagued her be soothed?

Star Knight smiled slightly, perhaps sensing her thoughts. "I never forgot you." Serenity's eyes flew open in shock but before she could speak, Star Knight's lips were upon her own. The kiss sent shivers up and down her spine as unbeckoned tears spilled down her cheeks. Serenity lifted her arms and wrapped them around Star Knight's shoulders, kissing him back with all that she was.

Chibi-Moon de-henshined back into Chibi-Usa, her eyes filled with tears. Hotaru smiled gently. Minako was crying, as was Ginny. Haruka had her arm around Michiru, who was beaming. Ron and Draco looked at each other, then clasped hands as a sign of a truce. Setsuna sighed happily as Hermione bit her lip so as not to cry. Ami folded her arms over her chest, thinking how romantic it was, while Rei and Mako exchanged happy looks. Lily had tears streaming down her cheeks, James had his arm around her and there was a proud look on his face.

Finally, Serenity pulled back, so as to breath. "I love you, Harold," she whispered softly. Her silver eyes were overflowing with tears that seemed never-ending, but for once she made no move to stop their descent.

He smiled. "I love you too, Serenity," he murmured before kissing her gently, tenderly, lovingly once more.

Serenity Moon came into the Great Hall, a broad smile on her face. She wore a floor-length pale pink dress that set of her incredibly pale complexion perfectly.(1) The dress was more sundress-style then anything, only longer then usual. It had t-shirt style sleeves, with a V-neck that had dark blue stiching for a trim. A dark blue belt with a pink flower- shaped buckle rested around her waist. Dark blue slippers, along with a dark blue cloth with a pink flower on it around each white odango completed the look. In one hand, she clutched a letter.

Many people smiled at her and bowed as she hurried past them. She gave them sweet smiles in return, but she wanted to find her friends. She'd just recieved a very thrilling and interesting message - one she wanted desperately to share as soon as possible.

She ran into the Hall and began scanning it eagerly. To her delight, she spotted Minako and Harry standing at the teacher's table speaking to Dumbledore about Harry's latest prophetic dream. Serenity began to eagerly make her way towards them, apologies and excuses tumbling from her mouth as she did so.

"Minako-chan!" she cried, rushing up to her midnight-sun haired friend. The Evil could wait until this wondrous news was shared. Minako (and everyone else at the teacher's table) looked at her, startled.

"Serenity? What's wrong?" Minako questioned, her had going instinctively to her henshin pen. Serenity's beautiful eyes flashed excitedly and she laughed with glee.

"Nothing's wrong, for once! Oh, Minako-chan, look! A letter from Kakyuu-hime!" Minako's eyes grew wide and she snatched the letter from Serenity's hand, scanning it eagerly. Her eyes grew even wider at what it said and she looked at Serenity, hopefulness brimming in her saphhire eyes.

"Serenity? Is this true? T-they're coming? The Starlights - they're coming here?!" Minako's words were hitched with excitement.

"Yes, yes, Minako-chan, it's true!" Serenity laughed, bubbling over with excitement. Her eyes sparkled vibrantly. "I invited them some time ago, and it'd been so long I'd nearly forgotten all about it. But just this morning, a phoenix arrived bearing this letter which, as you can see, says that and Kakyuu-hime said yes! They may come! They'll be here sometime tomorrow!"

"I love you!" Minako screamed, throwing her arms around Serenity and kissing Serenity's cheek. "You are the best princess and friend EVER! I gotta go tell Setsuna and Ami! Hey, Ami-chan, WAIT!!!" She took off as fast as she could, running to catch up with the blue-haired genius who had been leaving for Potions. Serenity watched her go, beaming.

"Who are the Starlights?" Hermione questioned, coming up behind her. Serenity turned, looking stunned, to see a confused group of teachers, Harry, Draco, Hermione and Ron. Ginny, however, was a different story - if her grin grew any wider the Sunarian's face would crack.

"Oh, Serenity, really?" she asked, hardly daring to hope. "It's been so long since we were all together!" Ginny had only met the Starlights once, last summer, and only briefly when Seiya had come to seek their help with an enemy plaguing Kinmoku.

"I know," Serenity answered. "But you better believe they're coming; the proof is right here!" she shook the letter. "Kakyuu-hime sent me a letter to tell me how they're doing, and in it she mentioned they've been just awful ever since we returned from Kinmokusei last summer - really fake happy when you can tell they're unhappy. Soooo, I suggested they all come here for a visit and she said yes!"

"The girls will be thrilled - well, the majority of them," Ginny said, sweatdropping as she recalled Haruka's fierce dislike for Sailor Star Fighter.

"Well, Haruka will just have to get used to it. Because whether she likes it or not, the Starlights are coming!"

(1) - She's a Lunarian who hardly got any Sun - what do you expect her complexion would be? Tanned?

*****************************************************************************************

Tenshi-Hotaru - I figured most people had forgottten about him, which is why I explained about it. I'm glad you like Star Knight! And here's the answer to your question - of course Serenity could! She just didn't have to.

Leanna - I know, that was cruel. But I'm a review-addict and lately I haven't been getting many. You're right, though, Dominos ought to know that by now. I guess some people just never learn.

Silver Comet - Really? -_-;; I'm sorry. But every half-decent story has to have at least one cliffhanger.

CloverWeave - Well..... normally I don't like them, but I was in a rush that day too.

Shadow Mage - When Serenity gets pissed..... your best bet for survival, as we all know, is to run and don't look back. -_-;

Usa P who's not finnishing her HW right now - Tsk, tsk. Not doing your homework? I'm flattered. ~grins~ Happy Birthday, although I think I'm a day or so late.
