Ten people and two cats ran into the kitchen. The coffee cup was in pieces at Bunny's feet and the hot coffee lay splattered on the tile floor, Bunny was trembling noticeably and had gone abnormally pale.
"Bunny, are you alright?" Justin asked, concern evident in his features. Bunny didn't even acknowledge his existence and instead turned to Motoki. "Motoki-oni-san" Bunny broke off into a sob and ran upstairs.
Everyone turned to Motoki's concerned face. He shrugged showing he didn't know what was wrong, and he went to turn off the television.
Just as Motoki picked up the remote control he saw the face of Mamoru flash across the screen. "Shit." Motoki cursed turning off the screen and grabbing Luna. "We'll be right back." Motoki ran upstairs and went into Bunny's room shutting the door behind him. Bunny was sobbing into her white sheets.
Motoki approached her and sat down on the edge of the bed and slowly rubbed her back until her crying eased. "Bunny daijobu?" He asked. "They're alive oni-san, how is that possible?" Bunny wiped tears away from her face. "I may know." Luna said walking over to the dresser and prying the top drawer opened with her paws. She picked up a wand that had been hiding under some clothes and walked over to the bed. With a giant leap landed next to Bunny and dropped the object on her lap. Bunny grabbed the small wand and saw the glittering silver crystal atop it.
"I wished we could all live normal happy lives before I died, but I remembered everything when I awoke, I was thinking it would take my memory from me and let me live normally." Bunny said to Luna. "What does this have to do with it?" Bunny asked. "A normal life for you, is being your true self, Usagi, Sailor Moon and Princess Serenity. But your wish was incomplete so it did not bring back the other senshi until now." Luna explained. "You've been torturing yourself for a normal life you can never live Usagi-chan." Luna used the name Usagi intentionally.
"I don't know why I'm crying, I should be happy, but I'm going to miss everyone. I'm going to have to go back you all know this." Bunny pulled her knees up to her chest. "I'm going to go wash my face, than I'll be downstairs to tell everyone my plans." She said softly. "We'll leave you." Motoki said softly. Usagi turned to Motoki with a shy look on her face. "C-Could you call me Usagi-chan again?" She asked. "Of course Usa-chan." Usagi smiled.
Motoki and Luna left the room and Usagi got up and went to the bathroom and wiped the tears from her face with a damp cloth.
"Rei-chan, Ami-chan, Mako-chan, Minako-chan, Mamoru-san" Usagi whispered to her reflection. Usagi tore her face away from the mirror and made her way downstairs.
When she reached the living room she got many worried glances from almost everyone. "Are you ok Bunny?" Michiru asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine but I need to tell you guys something important." Usagi said ringing her hands nervously.
"I've been lying to you all for way too long now. My name isn't Bunny, I mean it is because I made Bunny a person but
I'm most definitely not the Princess of Venus, daughter of Aphrodite." Everyone's eyes widened with the exception of two cats and two men and one green haired senshi.
"I am the leader of the inner sailor soldiers... But about a year ago after the fight against Queen Matallia and Queen Beryl we all lost our lives. I guess it was stupid but the last thing I remember was wishing I could live a normal life, but only today did I realize I had been living a normal life at least for me it was normal." Usagi took a deep breath.
"I realized today that I had to tell you the truth, My name is Usagi Tsukino, I am Sailor Moon, and lastly I am Princess Serenity, daughter of Queen Serenity and Apollo and I'm Tranquility's sister." Usagi lowered her head. "Please don't hate me." She said softly.
"Bunny- I mean Usagi, why did you lie to us?" Tranquility asked. "Because, it still hurt so much I could feel it. Their deaths were still fresh in my mind, and finally I just decided I didn't want to be Usagi or Sailor Moon anymore. After awhile I managed to become Sailor Moon once again and now after what I saw, I knew I had to come clean and be Usagi and Serenity again. Please understand!" She pleaded. "We could never hate you, you know that." Tranquility wrapped her arms around her newly found sister.
After a long hug Usagi lovingly pushed her sister away. "I found out today that the senshi are still alive. I'm going to have to go back to Tokyo." Usagi whispered.
Tranquility's eyes widened she quickly regained her composure. "Then I'm going too." She said sternly. "And you can't change my mind ether, you're my little sister and I'm not letting you leave me again." Tranquility said when she saw Usagi's mouth open to protest. "We'll all go." Kyle said.
"We have to protect our princess." Hotaru said with smile.
"I-I don't know what to say." Usagi said. "You don't have to say anything, I'm going to go call Ms. Kinsley and get a transfer to Flash in Tokyo." Tranquility said. "And I'll go house hunting on the Internet." Zach said. "I guess I'll go transfer Usagi and me to Tokyo University." Motoki said.
"Mind if I use your computer Usa-chan?" He asked. "Sure." Usagi said still a bit dazed from all their decisions.
"I should figure out shipping things." Haruka said. "Use my computer." Tranquility said. "I need to get to the time gate for a bit." Setsuna said before disappearing. "I-I'll make coffee again." Usagi said from lack of a better idea and she walked back into the kitchen.
The next few days were hectic; the outer senshi went to Tokyo to look at places and had found a place, which was a huge mansion that would be pretty cheep by their standards. Soon almost everything was packed and was going to be picked up by some shipping people Haruka had hired. Everyone had a plane ticket and they were leaving the next day. Everyone was camped out downstairs since their beds and furniture were gone.
"I'm going to miss LA." Usagi said. "But we'll have more fun in Tokyo won't we." Tranquility said with bright smile. "Of course!" Justin said. "Because we have the big television!" Everyone busted out laughing at his comment and soon they began to settle down for sleep.
~*~*~*~*
The next day everyone was on the flight to Tokyo and Usagi and Tranquility were bored because Justin had fallen asleep. Suddenly Tranquility began to giggle.
"What are you giggling about?" Usagi asked. "I just had evil idea." She said. "What?" Usagi asked. Tranquility took out a black magic marker.
"I get your idea." Usagi said with a devious smile.
"You write something on him in Japanese, I never was very good." She said handing her the pen. Usagi giggled and wrote on his forehead. Once they got off the plane they saw the four outer senshi waiting for them. Once they saw Justin though they began to laugh. "What is it?" He asked. "Your forehead!" They managed to spit out. Justin turned to Kyle, "What does it say?" He asked. Kyle bit back his own laughter, "It says I dream of naked men." Kyle than burst into his own laughter. Justin turned toward Tranquility and Usagi. "Which one of you did it?!" He hissed. Both of them pointed at the other sister.
After a week everything was settled, Usagi and Michiru were the one's that got the bedrooms with bathrooms and the rest had to walk to the downstairs or use the upstairs bathroom.
Usagi changed quickly into jeans and a tank top. She fixed her hair into the Minako style she had gotten so used to and hopped in her car. The stereo blared some American punk music and she drove quickly to the familiar neighborhood. Usagi turned down the music and stopped the car outside her old house. She could see Shingo run past a window.
Turning off the engine Usagi stepped out of the silver car.
She walked up nervously to the door of her parent's home and knocked on the door. Usagi waited until her father opened the door. "May I help" His words trailed off when he saw her.
"Usagi"
"Papa." She said wrapping her arms around him tightly he responded by holding her tightly as well.

"So let me get this strait, my little girl is a thousand year old Princess from the moon?" Ikuko Tsukino said. "Yes mama." She said. "I don't care just as long as she's back." Kenji said looking at his daughter lovingly. "My sister's Sailor Moon" Shingo was in shock.
"I know this is off the subject but has anyone called or come looking for me?" Usagi asked. "The girls that went missing called after they re-appeared, and a man, he didn't say his name though." Usagi smiled. "I'm going to give you my phone number, and address so you can stop by or call. Once I know what my schedule is at work and college I'll set up a dinner with all my roommates and you guys." She said with a smile, Usagi scribbled down her number and address. "I have to go, I promised some friends lunch at the arcade." She said.
"I'll call you tonight." Ikuko said. "Ok." Usagi waved goodbye and hopped back in her car.
Usagi had just turned on her car when Shingo came running out. "Usa-chan can I get a ride to the arcade?" He asked.
"Sure." Usagi reached over and opened the door for him.
Once he was buckled Usagi turned the key and turned up her music and they sped off toward the arcade.
Once Usagi got there she let Shingo out who automatically ran off to play video games. Usagi went into the arcade, nothing had changed. Usagi looked around and saw Tranquility waving wildly in her direction. "Usagi-chan! Over here!" She yelled. Usagi smiled and ran over to her sister. "Tranquility-chan!" She yelled waving back. "Tranquility-chan, I was so scared when I talked to them, they took it really well too."
"That's great Usa-chan!"
"I can't believe how big Shingo's gotten." Usagi said taking a seat. "That was him running off to play video game's right?" Tranquility asked with a smile. Usagi nodded.
"He's so handsome." Tranquility said. "I know, I bet Mika is all over him." Usagi said with a loving smile in his direction.
"Where are those boys?" Tranquility said looking at her watch. Just as this was said Justin and Nate walked into the arcade. "Sorry we're late we stopped up at the apartment for Justin's pager." Nate said giving Justin a glare. "Who'd page you in Tokyo?" Usagi asked. "No one, that's why I'm mad at him." Nate said sitting down next to Tranquility. "Boys stop bickering." Said a new voice.
The four looked up to see Kyle, Zach and Motoki. "Where were you three?" Usagi inquired. "We had to hide in an ally on the way over because we almost ran into Endymion." Zach said.
"How did he look?" Usagi asked quickly. "He looked good, but I wasn't able to get a reading on him to see if he's alright." "I'm sorry princess." Zach added when he saw Usagi's crestfallen face. "It's alright, I wouldn't expect to find out if they're ok. But Luna did tell me that she was going to reconfigure my communicator so I could pick up on theirs without their detection." Usagi said holding out her small pink communicator. "Good." Motoki said standing. "I've got to get to work, now that I'm back my dad re-hired me, there's a job for you Usa-chan, if you're interested." Usagi nodded vigorously. "Well then," Motoki threw a white apron at her. "Get started now, Unazaki's not working today." Usagi blanched but tied the apron around her waist even though she didn't look very happy to be working. "See ya guys I need to get to work." Usagi said starting to follow Motoki. "Usa-chan wait!" Justin said grabbing her arm before she left. "What? She asked. "Could I get a milkshake and a deluxe cheeseburger?" Usagi groaned and hit Justin upside the head. "Jerk." She muttered as she walked to the counter where Motoki was waiting for her.
