Ohayoo Minna-san! This is StAr-chan here, bringing you yet another fanfic to warm your anime hearts. A DBZ/SM crossover, it stars one of my favorite couples, but you'll have to read it find out. It starts out with just SM but by the third chapter, it will be a full-blown crossover! *Grumbles* I hate this, but unfortunately I DON'T own ANY of the characters from DBZ or SM. They all belong to their respective owners who are making more money than I could ever hope to. Well that's my confession, so on to the fic! Oh yeah, Serena is 20 in this fic.
A Story To Remember
Prologue: A Decision Made
"I suppose I'll always get a bad wrap in this. I didn't think of the consequences before I made my decision. But I was happy in the end. I think everyone was."
Serena stood at the top of the Tokyo tower watching the sun set. Her mind was everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Her mind seemed to concentrate on her friends, family, and her boyfriend, all of who were flashing through her thoughts.
"Darien," she thought, "Mercury..Mars..Jupiter..Venus, how could you hurt me so badly?"
The world seemed to be spinning out of control and there was apparently no way to stop ANY of it.
Flashback:
Four women in sailor fukus stood in a circle around a fifth female.
"Sailor Moon, we just want to know for sure" asked the women in light blue.
Serena spoke up, "You guys, come on, you know that I'm Inner!"
"Yeah? Well lately you've been spending QUITE a lot of time with Amara, Michelle, and Hotaru." Mars spat out. "Or are we not good enough for you anymore Sailor Moon?"
"NANI?!, you guys know that's not true. I just think that we should all spend more time together..After all, we are supposed to be a team.:
"Some team." Jupiter mumbled.
"Well Sailor Moon, if you haven't noticed, the Outers aren't exactly buddy-buddy with us. You can be "friends" with them, you're the princess, us? , We're just dismissed as the "weakest" of the sailor "team."
Sailor Moon looked at her friends trying to find ANY sympathy for her actions.
" I'm just trying to be nice and you're getting all angry over that?"
Mercury placed a hand on her friends shoulder, "Sailor Moon, we just don't want you to leave us. We've been together for a long time, and fought hard together. If you seriously don't want to be an Inner.."
"What are you talking about? "Sailor Moon asked in confusion. "You're not listening to me!"
"Sailor Moon, we're asking a simple question." Venus said matter-of-factly.
Mars leaned close to her, "Sailor Moon, are you an Inner or an Outer? Are you with us or with them?"
Sailor Moon looked at the faces around her.
'How can they ask me that? I'm always going to be an Inner, why are they so worried?
She took a deep breath and said, "You guys I can't, and won't answer that. We are supposed to be a team and you're all my friends INCLUDING the Outer senshi-tachi. They Outers have helped us in a lot of battles. The Death Busters, Galaxia, I won't choose between my friends, I refuse to."
That obviously wasn't the answer they had been expecting. Mars took a few steps back from her former friend. Then, unexpectedly, she lashed out and slapped Sailor Moon hard with a force that sent her flying back. The other Senshi gasped in shock.
"Mars what the Hell are you doing?!"
"Mars you baka!"
"Mars don't hurt her!"
"Sailor Mars!?"
Sailor Mars' eyes held no pity for what she had done. As Sailor Moon held her burning cheek she spoke with anger apparent in her voice,
"If you want to be an Outer FINE Sailor Moon, go right ahead. We don't need you anymore." She turned away and stormed off into the night.
"Sailor Moon. Serena, Mars is just angry she doesn't, I mean she's..."
Mercury fumbled for words.
Serena smiled at the remaining scouts, "Bye." She said before disappearing into the night.
Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter stood silently, unsure of what to do when suddenly Venus cried out "Sailor Moon wait!"
...But she was long gone.
End Flashback
Serena wiped a tear away as she thought of the aftermath of those night's events. She had run home afterward, ripping off her Eternal locket. Walking shakily back to her apartment, she had thrown her shoes carelessly on top of her books, scattering them everywhere. She had lain in bed for two hours holding her-self beneath the covers. She hadn't cried, not one single tear. She smiled sardonically at the memory as she wiped another tear away. '
I thought I had cried all my tears when my family was killed.'
The thought of her dear parents and little brother, killed so brutally in a battle with a youma lead her back to another painful memory.
Flashback:
Shivering violently despite the warm down comforter she was wrapped in, she picked up the phone and called Darien.
"Hi Darien, it's me Serena I wanted to talk to you about.."
"You have a lot of nerve calling me Serena Tsukino, especially after what you did!" Darien shot out.
"Nani? What *I* did? Darien I don't understand what you're saying?"
"Serena, I talked to the others and Raye said that you don't want to be an Inner anymore! What's wrong with you Serena..or did the Outers put you up to this?"
"Darien! What? No! I mean, Darien that's not what happened, I AM an Inner I just..I can't.." Serena felt sick, 'What's happening, why won't he listen?'
"Forget it Serena, you're disgusting. Acting all sweet and innocent when
You were really just using the Inners, and ME too! I've had it with you! We're OVER!" With that, Darien slammed the down.
*CLICK*, the phone went dead in Serena's hand, and as it did Serena felt something die inside of her too. Princess Serenity.
End Flashback
Serena walked back inside Tokyo tower. She walked slowly toward the park where she had told Sailor Pluto to meet her.
'I hope I won't regret this..'
Pluto appeared in front of her, her solemn silence giving an air of wisdom and age.
"Pluto.." Her words died in her throat.
"Princess, I know. We must go quickly."
"Arigatou for helping Pluto." Serena said in a small voice.
"Do you have your henshin?"
"Hai, it's in my pocket."
"Good." Pluto looked around, making sure no one was in sight. She held
The Garnet Staff high above her head.
'Please let this go well.' Pluto thought, silently praying to Chronos for his power and wisdom. She felt the power of Pluto enter her staff and center in the talisman on top, The Garnet Orb. Serena held her breath and relaxed. Pluto took one last look at her beautiful princess before bringing her staff down hard, a fatal blow for the sake of her princess.
Well, here it begins, the beginning of the complete edition of A STORY TO REMEMBER! R/R!
