Neo-Queen Serenity and Queen Serenity were in her dreams again.

"You did well. The future may now be set in motion. You know what you must do. Good-bye, Princess Serenity." Both Queens said in unison, and they faded into the darkness.

Serena knew that it was the last time she would see Neo-Queen Serenity for a long time, and the next time she would be looking into a mirror. She was comforted to know that she would again be able to see her mother. Those thoughts slipped from her mind as she slowly regained consciousness.

She opened her eyes and blinked back the fuzziness. She saw that all of her old friends were there, including Darien, but they were all sleeping.

Mina was curled up on Andrew's lap on one of the chairs. Ami was in a chair, and Greg was asleep at her feet. Rei and Chad were in the bed opposite of Serena's. Lita and Ken were both sitting against a wall. Darien was sitting in a chair by her bed, and Luna and Artemis were curled up at her feet.

Although she regretted waking them up, she knew that her time was limited.

"Guys, come on, wake up!" She said as loud as she could.

Everyone woke up with a start, trying to figure out why they were awake. Then they all saw that she was awake, and rushed to her side, all trying to talk at once.

"Guys! Guys! You can't all talk at once! Besides, there's not much time, and there are some things I have to say."

"Don't talk that way, Serena! You're going to be okay." Darien said, more trying to convince himself than convince her.

"No, my love, I'm not." She saw his surprise on his face when she called him 'my love'. "Don't look so surprised Darien! I still love you, and I always will."

"Oh Serena! I never stopped loving you!"

"Yes, I know."

She tried to take her hand away from her friend's grasps to see if her hair was still in meatballs.

"They're still there, we wouldn't let them take them out." a voice said.

"Alex! Thank you!" She said to her friend who had walked in. Michelle, Stacy, Stacy's fiance Steve, Sammy and Mika were also there. "I'm glad you guys are here. As I was saying, there are some things that need to be said. Now, did anyone explain how I got here?" She asked her friends. They all shook their heads to say that no one had. "Okay, I'll tell you in a minute, but there is something I have to do first. Steve, Chad, Ken, Andrew, could you come here please?" They did as she asked. "Did your wives, and fiances, ever tell you their little secret?" Again they shook their heads no.

"Serena! You're not going to tell them, are you?" Rei asked in surprise. "I thought no one was supposed to know about it!"

"It is time for the truth to come out." She said to her friend. Then she looked back to the men. "Will you love your wives, and fiance, no matter what?" They nodded. "Then the truth shall be told. Your loves are the Sailor Scouts."

"What?!" Everyone except Michelle, Alex and Stacy yelled.

"I'll tell you my story in a while, but first, will you tell them about the Silver Millennium, Luna?"

"Of course." And she preceded to tell the story.

~-~-~-~-~-~-

After Luna was done with her story, they all turned to Serena.

"Now, what's your story?" Luna asked.

"One day, about two months ago, I was walking to work when I heard a woman scream. I went to investigate, and a saw a youma." She saw that her friends were about the say something, but she stopped them. "I know you didn't know about the youmas. I didn't tell you because you were living your lives in peace, and I did not want to ruin that for you. Anyway, when I saw the youma, I decided that Sailor Moon was needed, so I transformed. I fought alone for about a month. Then, I was in a fight with about five youmas, and I knew that I couldn't do it all alone, but I was going to take a few out with me. Well, I used my scepter, when all of the sudden I heard three other attacks. When the dust had cleared, the youmas were gone, all dead. Next thing I knew, I was looking into the faces of Sailor Neptune, Sailor Uranus and Sailor Saturn. Alex is Uranus, Michelle is Neptune and Stacy is Saturn. We fought together until a month later. We were at a ball, and youmas attacked. So many, we couldn't count. I had to transform, in front of everybody. Alex, Michelle and Stacy ran off and transformed out of sight. Well, we were able to destroy a lot of them, but we were running out of energy. Suddenly, I knew what to do. I taunted the youmas and they formed a ring around me. They all fired their attacks at the same time, and I jumped out of the way. The attacks exploded together, killing the youmas and knocking me out. Next thing I knew, I was waking up here."

Everyone was speechless for a moment, but then Darien spoke.

"You should have told us. We would've come back to fight." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"No. It was how it was supposed to be, and now Crystal Tokyo can rise." Serena said.

"What are you talking about? Crystal Tokyo has already risen, in the future." Lita said.

"Yes, but in order for that to happen, certain events had to take place, and me getting hurt was one of them. With my death, Crystal Tokyo can live."

"But Crystal Tokyo can't live without you! You are its Queen!" Mina said.

"I know I'm confusing you, but believe me when I tell you that I am supposed to die, but do not worry, I will live on." Serena paused for a moment, and then said, "Uh, guys, you don't have any children that I don't know about, do you?" They all shook their heads on. "Good. Umm, I don't know quite how to say this, but Chad, Ken, Andrew, Greg, Steve, would you follow Rei, Lita, Mina, Ami and Stacy anywhere?"

"Yes." They said in unison.

"Good. Luna, I need the crescent wand."

"I'm not sure I have it, Serena."

"You have it."

Luna flipped, and the wand fell onto the bed.

"Thank you Luna. I need my brooch." Michelle handed it to her. "Thank you Michelle." She concentrated, and soon the silver crystal was out of the brooch and floating in front of her. She took it and reunited it with the wand. "Sammy, Mika, come here please." They did as she asked. "Sammy, I suggest you marry Mika, because through your blood, I shall be reborn."

"What do you mean Serena?"

"I mean what I said. Now, could you please go home? I don't mean to be rude, but there is something I need to do."

"Oh, okay. Bye Serena."

"Bye Sammy, I love you. Always remember that."

Sammy looked shocked for a moment, and then she reached down and hugged his sister. "I love you too." He and Mika then left.

"Ami, come over here, I need your help with something."

"What is it Serena?"

"Take out these IVs and stuff in my arm."

"But Serena! I can't do that!"

"I know you can Ami. Please, I can't do what I need to do with these things in my arms." Ami sighed and did as she asked. "Thank you Ames." Then Serena attempted to get out of bed. She was still weak and almost collapsed, but Darien caught her and held her up. "Thank you, my love." She pulled his head down, and they shared one last, long, kiss. When they parted, she found the strength to stand by herself. "Good-bye, my friends. Cosmic Moon Power!" The light flooded from the wand and surrounded her friends. The light formed a protective barrier around them, and Serena sent them off into areas unknown. Soon, she was alone in the room. She had time to put everything back into her space pocket before she collapsed to the ground, a serene smile on her face, even in death.

A thousand years later, in the frozen wasteland of Earth, a baby cried.
