*INTRODUCTION*
It's been two years since Galaxia was defeated. Everyone is at peace and everything is back to normal. The girls are now in their senior year, which started just a couple of weeks ago. Rei is still studying at *TA* private school for girls, while Haruka & Michiru are now happily married. Mamoru on the other hand had gone back to the states to finish his studies at Harvard. Though apart, Usagi & Mamoru still find time to spend together. As for the starlights, no one heard anything from them again. The girls missed them so much and wished that they haven't left...(AND NOW, ON WITH THE STORY....)
Chapter one (Bunny Tsukino?!)
It was a very bright and sunny morning. Usagi was walking towards crown, where all her friends are waiting for her. It's been two years and the old Usagi have disappeared. Instead, a beautiful, kind, caring, gentle and Angel-like lady took place. Her clumsiness wore off a long time ago, and so did her tardiness. Her high-pitched laugh was replaced by an angelic one, which causes ones bad day to brighten. She also stopped pigging out on food and sweets...and the result is, she has the most beautiful set of white teeth. Not only did her Attitude change, but her whole appearance as well. You can see her before as an immature klutz who always fails on tests. But now, she's a refined young lady with beauty and grace. Slim waist, slender body, long gorgeous legs and inviting curves attracts many all over Tokyo. She did leave her hair in the usual style. Her reason? Well, It's simple...She wants to tell everyone that, even though she did grow up...a part of her will always be a child. The girls waved as she entered the arcade. "Ohio minna!" she said energetically as she sat on their usual booth. "Ohio Usagi-Chan..." Minako said after she finished her iced tea. "Ohio..." Usagi replied. She smiled inwardly while looking at her friends. 'They have changed...a lot.' she thought.... Ami is studying hard, for she's running for the school valedictorian. She is under a lot of pressure from school...luckily, the girls together with Ryo, are always at her side to support her. Makoto on the other hand pursued her dream to become a famous chef. She opened a cafe almost a month ago, and is now a complete success. Rei had continued her fortune telling business, which made her famous. Finally, Usagi's best friend... Minako. This blonde teen just passed the teen idol competition. She already signed a contract and will soon start her recordings. "Daijobu ka Usagi-Chan?" Rei asked. "Hai..." Usagi replied with a tint of blush across her face from embarrassment. "You seemed to be spacey...Is everything alright?" Makoto asked worriedly. "Hai! Don't worry about me...I'm fine. It's just that seeing changes around us makes me feel happy." She replied dreamily. "What do you exactly mean by that Usa-chan?" Minako asked then leaned forward in curiosity. "It just feels good to actually experience peace...at last." "Yeah...after all these years of non- stop fighting, we're now back to our normal life with no Youma's to battle." Rei said in a low voice. "It's kinda sad...I really didn't think that I'd feel this down. We can't transform just because we don't have enemies to battle with." Minako mumbled. "Yeah...but at least everything's peaceful now." Usagi said with a sigh. "So, what are our pans for the day?" she asked. "Dunno.... Howz about shopping?" Minako suggested with a mischievous grin. "Shop till we drop?" Ami asked. "Yep!!!" Minako replied. Rei sighed heavily. "I guess we have to agree with her this time." "Yeah...besides, her idea is the only one which we all agree with." Says Makoto. "Well then lets go..." Usagi said then stood up, followed by the others.
They were wandering around the mall for quite some time now. Ami had purchased several books about medicine, and some books about the outer space. Minako on the other hand had bought several dresses from a boutique, which she'll be using, during her appearances to her fans. She also bought some art equipment and paints. Since the Three Lights' departure, Minako dedicated her time in Arts and paintings. Makoto went head over heels when she saw a new kitchenware set. So without a second thought, she purchased it with a huge grin on her face. Rei was having a hard time finding the right gift for Yuuichiru. She gave up with a sigh, bought some tarot cards for her fortune telling and a pair of dress shirt for Yuuichiru. Rei noticed, that Usagi haven't bought anything yet. Sensing something, she approached her, and placed a hand on Usagi's shoulder. "Daijobu ka Usagi- Chan?" Startled, Usagi looked back and saw Rei's worried face. "H...Hai...Don't worry I'm fine." she replied. "Is there any problem?" Rei asked. By now, the other girls have noticed Usagi's bothered expression. "Iie...why'd you ask?" "Because you haven't bought anything, and you're acting strangely since this morning." Makoto said. Usagi looked down at the floor then sighed. "If you have a problem tell us." Ami said. Usagi knew that she had to tell her fears to the girls, eventually. She looked up and told them that she's been bothered by a strange dream. "What kind of dream Usagi-Chan?" Rei asked. "I don't know...I can only see a shadow of a lady and she's always saying the same thing." Usagi said in a low voice. "What is it?" Minako asked curiously. "She's back and she missed me so much." Usagi replied. "Have you told Mamoru-san about this?" Rei asked. "Hai...he told me not to worry much. He also told me that he'll be back soon, so...there's no reason for me to worry." She replied with a faint blush. "C'mon guys, lets talk outside." Ami suggested. The others nodded in agreement, and they headed out for the Park. They were walking along Juuban Park, where in numerous cherry blossom trees stood grandly, to attract people's attention. "It's like old times isn't it?" Minako asked as she leaned on a tree. "Yeah...I still can't believe that we've changed a lot since..." Makoto trailed off, when she noticed the sudden change of atmosphere. "Gomen ne..." she mumbled. Ever since the Three Lights left, the girls have avoided mentioning their names. The reason? Simple...The Three Lights are very important people to them. These three have risked their lives to save Usagi and almost died in the process. "It's okay Mako-chan... it can't be helped." Minako said in a raspy voice, then left. The four girls stared at Minako as she walked away with her fists clenched tightly.
That evening, Usagi went to Minako's new apartment. "Minako, are you home?" she asked. She knocked once more but no one answered. Usagi sighed then turned to leave, when the door opened. She gasped when she saw Minako's eyes...red and puffy from crying. "What's wrong?" she asked worriedly while embracing Minako in a tight embrace. "Nothing..." she replied hoarsely. "I don't want to talk about it yet..." Minako added. She pulled out of the embrace and led Usagi in. "Would you like me to stay here tonight?" Usagi asked then wiped the tearstains from Minako's cheeks. "Hai...if it's okay. I really don't feel like being alone tonight." "Okay then...I'll stay here for you." Usagi said, then squeezed Minako's hand gently. "Arigatou..." she replied. They were sleeping peacefully that evening. All of a sudden, Minako began to shift restlessly.
*DREAMY SEQUENCE* In a beautiful meadow, Minako wandered around while humming a soft, yet beautiful melody. Wearing a simple white dress made from pure cotton, she looked like a goddess, especially with her hair billowing from the wind. Suddenly, a man came up to her with a smile that brightened up her day. She smiled sweetly, and held the man's hand. He was wearing a white cotton shirt and dress pants...he looked like a god, suited for his goddess. "Aishiteru Mina-Chan..." The man whispered seductively, which sent shivers, through her spine. She buried her face on the man's chest to hide her blush...but her blush turned crimson, when the man trailed his fingers around her back. "Are you okay my sweet?" he asked. But deep inside him, he knew that his Angel is very happy...and so is he. Minako looked up to him with her eyes full of love. "Aishiteru..." she said, then slowly wrapped her arms around the man's neck. Minako tiptoed and planted a soft kiss on his lips. But the man pulled her up in his embrace, for a deep and searing kiss. When they broke off, Minako sat down on the grass then told the man to sit beside her. They were lying around, with arms around each other and whispering words of undying love. "Angel...we'll be together. I promise you that." The man said then kissed her forehead. "I know that..." She said as she snuggled in his embrace. Suddenly, the man sat up which startled her. "What's wrong?" She asked as she sat up. To her surprise, the man held out his hand. "C'mon...let's take a walk through the forest." he said then slowly walked away. "Matte...Yaten-Chan...Wait for me!!!" she exclaimed then stood up. She began to run while calling out his name. "Yaten- chan!!!!!" But he floated away and kept chanting the same thing. "Come...come...come with me." he chanted repeatedly, while floating farther and farther away from Minako. *END OF DREAMY SEQUENCE*
Minako woke up with her body drenched in sweat, and her breathing irrational. Usagi woke up with a start when she felt Minako sit up then began to cry. "Daijobu ka Minako?" She asked while enveloping her in a tight embrace. "I love him..." Minako whispered, which literary surprised the odango headed girl. "Who... Who are you referring to Mina-chan?" Usagi asked in trance. "Yaten..." She replied in a whisper. "Why didn't you tell us? We could have helped you." Minako sobbed even louder. "B...b...because. I know it would be useless. He hates me..." She explained in between sobs. Usagi sighed then caressed Minako's hair. "That's not true Minako- chan...I'm sure that he likes you." Usagi said, then pushed her friend into arms length. "Demo...he always screams at me, and pushes me farther away from his life." Minako said then broke down to tears once more. "If he doesn't love you then...forget about him. Besides, he's gone Minako-chan. Try to open your heart to someone who deserves you better." Usagi said in comfort. "Now I want you to rest and try to forget about it." she added with a smile. "Okay...I think it would be better..." She said then lay back down to sleep. Usagi sighed heavily then, snuggled back on the bed to sleep once more.
Setsuna was drinking her tea, when Michiru entered the kitchen. "What's for breakfast Setsuna-san?" Michiru asked. "Bread, ham, scrambled eggs, pancakes, assorted muffins and a choice between coffee, juice or tea." Setsuna replied. Michiru was about to say something, when Hotaru came rushing in. "Ohio Setsuna-san! ohio Mama!" she exclaimed then took a bite on Setsuna's sandwich then gulped down a cup of tea. "Ja!!!!" Hotaru yelled as she ran out to go to school. "My little baby is growing up so fast..." Michiru sighed, then sat down on the chair beside Setsuna. "Don't be sad Michiru-san...besides, there's going to be a new baby soon." Setsuna said with a wink. "Wh...wha...what do you mean?" Michiru stuttered. The time goddess just smile innocently, then took a bite on her sandwich. ' She's teasing me...' Michiru thought while watching Setsuna's weird attitude. "You're hiding something..." She finally voiced out. "Of course I am! And I also know that you'll be giving birth in SEVEN months from now." Michiru's hand flew up on her mouth. Haruka came in the room, fresh from shower with a towel draped around his shoulders. His eyebrows cocked when he saw Michiru standing still and Setsuna who was smiling broadly. "What's going on here?" he asked. "Ask your wife." Setsuna said, then stood up. "How can I ask her, when she's like a statue." Haruka said, with an eyebrow raised. "I don't know..." Setsuna shrugged, then left a pissed off sky God. "Michi- chan, what happened?" Haruka asked, when he got near her. Relieving no answer, Haruka decided to do the most effective solution...He bent down, then kissed her deeply. Soon enough, Michiru began to respond, as the kiss became more passionate. "So...what happened?" Haruka asked when they parted. "Ruka-chan, y...you're gonna be a...a father soon." she said, before fainting from shock. "Michi-chan!" Haruka exclaimed, when he recovered from shock. "A father soon...she's pregnant?!" Haruka's eyes grew big as the thought struck him...hard. Instead of carrying his wife to their room, the usual self-controlled, clear-minded, *Mr. I don't reveal my feelings* and hot tempered Haruka Tenou...fainted beside his wife. Haruka sat up, still feeling drowsy. "What the hell happened?" he asked to no one in particular. Then suddenly, everything came back to him in a flash. He looked at Michiru, who on the other hand, was sleeping peacefully beside him. ' Hotaru must've used her powers to transfer us here...' Haruka thought with a smile, as he caressed Michiru's hair. He stopped when she shifted her position, then slowly woke up. "Ruka-chan..." She mumbled sleepily. "Go back to sleep." He said with a smile, then lay down on the bed, and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Don't you think we've already slept too much?" she asked. Haruka nodded, then nuzzled her nose, which made her giggle. "Hai...we overslept..." he replied with a quirky grin, which was not her usual style. Haruka stared at his wife lovingly. ' She's more beautiful when pregnant...' He thought. "Why are you staring at me Ruka-chan?" "Nothing..." He replied, then pulled her closer to him. "Is it okay that I'm pregnant?" She asked, when both were relaxed. "Of course dear. It's about time that we start our own family. At least we had some experience with Hotaru." Haruka replied. "Hai...she'll always be our baby." Michiru said, as memories flooded back to her. She smiled contently, then closed her eyes to sleep in the arms of his beloved. Haruka looked down at the sleeping woman in his arms. ' I guess she'll be sleeping more often...' He thought, then joined his wife, for he won't be able to get out of bed. Sailor Pluto smiled at what she saw, from the gate of time. "This year would be very interesting for us." She said, then transformed back to Setsuna. ' They would be surprised...surprised when they'll discover the truth.' She thought with a smirk, then stepped out of the time gates, and returned to the Mansion.
Ami sighed heavily, as she stared at her computer. She was working as a student teacher, at Azabu institute. She's been thinking about things lately, that her co-teachers thought, that she's sick. "Daijobu ka, Ami- chan?" A good-looking guy, asked her worriedly. "I'm okay Ryo-chan...just exhausted I guess." She replied. Ryo draped an arm around her shoulders, then leaned his face next to her. "Stop working dear...come, I'll take you to a quiet place, so you can relax." He said, then escorted her. "Demo, I still have to..." Ami started, but got silenced by a kiss. "You're working too hard. It's about to give your body some rest." Ryo said, as he caressed her cheeks. "I guess you're right..." Ami sighed in defeat. They got out of the office, and went to the park, to walk around, and to rest as well. "Ami-chan... I've been thinking about...us." Ryo suddenly said, breaking the silence. She looked up to him, her eyes filled with confusion, and so does her features. "I know you still love him. I thought that I can replace him, but I was mistaken...Ami-chan, I'm setting you free." He said, as tears started to fall, from his eyes. "R..Ryo...h..How about you?" She asked, trembling at the same time, for she was crying as well. "I'll be fine Ami-chan. As long as you're happy, then I'm okay." He replied, then faintly smiled. Ami smiled through her tears, and hugged him tight. "Arigatou Ryo-kun..." She whispered. "Ami-chan, can I kiss you one last time?" He asked. Ami smiled, then nodded in response. "Aishiteru, Ami- chan." "I know..." she replied, before Ryo captured her lips, in his. The kiss, was not a heated, nor a lustful kiss. It was just a kiss, which means that they'll be ending their relationship, but will begin a new friendship. The girls were shocked, when they heard the news. They never expected, that through all those years, one man remained in her heart...Taiki kou.
A beautiful woman stood in the middle of a Rose garden. Different colors of these marvelous creations surrounded her, like a blanket of flowers. She had a long silky blond hair, up in two large buns, tied with silky white ribbons. (AN: her hairstyle& hair length is exactly like Miaka's. If you don't know her, she's a character from Fushigi Yuugi.) The woman was also wearing a gown, which was the exact replica of Princess Serenity's gown, but the difference is that, the ornaments, and the bodice is silver. "I'll be with you soon..." she said, as silver tears fell delicately, on her cheeks. ' I promise...we'll be together.' she thought, then teleported to a huge mansion in Tokyo, together with the garden. She used a pearl white crystal, in order to teleport, and transform herself. ' I'm here, and well be together soon....' she thought. Luna, who was asleep on a beanbag, woke up with a start. "What's wrong Usagi-chan?" She asked worriedly, when she saw Usagi, sobbing uncontrollably. The moon princess mumbled something, but it was muffled from crying. "Luna, who is she? Who...is she?" Usagi asked. "What are you talking about Usagi-chan? I'm quite confused." Luna said. "There's a woman in my dream. I've been dreaming about it for months now...She kept on saying that she's back, and we'll be together. Luna, I'm scared..." Usagi said, then hugged her knees for comfort. ' Masaka...could it be that she's back? ' Luna thought deeply. "Usagi-chan, I suggest that you forget about it." Luna said, then headed for the door. "Where are you going?" Usagi asked. "Downstairs...go back to sleep." The guardian cat replied, then left the room. She transformed to her human form, then teleported herself to the gate of time. Luckily, Sailor Pluto was there to answer her questions. "I was actually expecting you Luna." Pluto said, while looking at the time ball, that shows her the Past, Future, and Present. "Is she..." Luna started, but was cut off by the goddess of time. "Hai...and so will they." Luna sighed, then shook her head. "The future is changing...isn't it?" The moon guardian asked. "No...the future that they saw, was a different future. The future has many paths Luna...and the future that they saw is the one, if the princess will marry Endymion." Pluto replied. "So...does this means, that we have to tell them?" "Not necessarily...they have to find about it alright. But in the right time." Pluto answered with a smile. "To tell you frankly, I do miss her...a lot." Luna said. "Yeah, me too...It's sad that she had to be sent away, locked in a time crystal, to save her from Beryll." "But now, they'll be together again, and be parted no more." Luna said, with a smile. "By the way, tell your husband to transform to his human form as well. She'll be arriving soon, and she have to recognize you." Pluto said, then opened the gate of time. "Now go...I've got something to do." The time goddess said, then went in the gate, to go to the future. "Well I guess, I have to work now..." Luna said, then teleported, to Minako's room. Unfortunately, Minako didn't take the shock of seeing Luna, as a human. Therefore, she fainted. "Why did you use your human, form anyway?" Artemis asked, as he transformed, into his human self. "She's back..." Luna stated, in the most casual manner. "She is?! b..b.. bu..but..." Artemis stuttered. Luna rolled her eyes. "Aren't you happy? You're gonna see her again." Luna snapped snobbishly. Artemis grinned from ear to ear, then pulled her in his embrace. "You're jealous..." he whispered in a teasing manner, which sent shivers through her spine. "Why would I?" She asked snobbishly. Though it failed, for she melted in Artemis' embrace, when he nuzzled her neck. "Co'z you love me." He whispered. Luna blushed crimson, then buried her face on his chest. "Yeah...I do love you Artemis. It's just that, you're always flirting with her, back at the Moon Kingdom." "That was before...besides, it was just a silly crush." Artemis said, then released some power, to change into more appropriate clothing. "Now c'mon dear, we have work to do." He added with a wink, then walked hand in hand, to find her.
The next morning, Usagi entered the classroom lazily, then sat on her chair. She sighed heavily then scanned through her books. Suddenly, someone giggled from beside her, which caught her attention. It was then she realized, that a new girl was sitting beside her. The girl smiled at her, then held out her hand. "Hi! I'm Bunny...Bunny kou." She said. Usagi smiled, then accepted her hand for a shake. "And I'm Usagi Tsukino. Pleased to meet you Bunny." Usagi said in response. "By the way, your surname...it sounds familiar...." Bunny giggled, which confused Usagi. "Is there something funny about what I've said?" Usagi asked. "Iie...my, my, my...I can't believe that you don't know the three lights." Bunny said with a grin. "Shimatta! are you related to them?" Usagi asked. "Yep! They're my cousins...and Kakyuu is like a dear sister to me." Usagi's jaw dropped open in shock. She was in that position when the other girls came. "Daijobu ka Usa?" Mako asked, the tranced girl. "She's a goner Mako-chan..." Minako stated, then sat casually on her seat. "Hey girl, the teacher is here." Makoto said, then gently shook her friend. Usagi's face reddened, then turned her attention to the teacher, who was introducing Bunny. "Class, we have a new student here. Her name is Bunny kou, and she's a relative of the Three Lights. She transferred here from the states, to see her cousins, and to live with them. But unfortunately, they haven't returned from their vacation." The sensei explained. "Ohio Minna! Hope we can all be friends." Bunny said with a wink, then held up a peace sign. Everyone in the class went silent, as soon as Bunny stepped up front. The reason? Simple....she's the exact replica of Usagi. The only difference is that, her hair was up in two large buns, tied with lavender ribbon. (Miaka's hairstyle) Even the eyes are the same. Soon enough, the teacher called their attention to start the class, as Bunny headed towards her seat, grinning from ear to ear. Lunch time, the girls invited her, to eat with them, under their usual tree. "So, if you're related to the three lights, that means...." Mako trailed off. "That means, I know their true identities." Bunny finished the sentence, for Makoto. "And I know your true identities..." she added. "Honto ni?!" Minako asked, getting excited from the fact, that the three lights might be coming back. "Hai... besides, I'm a Senshi myself." Bunny said, in a low voice, so that no one would hear her. "Who?" Usagi asked. "I'm sailor crescent." She replied. "Why did you came here? what's your purpose?" Makoto asked. "That I won't tell, but I can assure you, that you'll find out about my true identity, in the near future." Bunny replied. We understand if you want it to be a secret. Just be sure, that you'll explain why it has to be kept, when we find out." Usagi stated. "Absolutely..." She replied. The rest of the day passed by. Everyone was happy, that they have a new friend, a new comrade and....a new member of the Senshi family.
At the Tenou mansion, Michiru was looking hysterically for Setsuna. "Daijobu ka Michi-chan?" Haruka asked. He was beginning to worry, for it was her third time, to pass by the Study room, to ask for the whereabouts of Setsuna. "Hai...I just have to talk to her." She replied. "What for?" he asked. "Um...nothing important." Michiru replied nervously. Haruka stood up, then slowly walked towards her. "Something's bothering you...I can tell." He stated. "Now tell me the problem." The Sea goddess just sighed in defeat, then took out her mirror. "Ruka-chan...She's back." Michiru replied. Haruka's eyes grew big in shock. "She's back?! It's impossible!!!" He exclaimed. Michiru nodded to assure his doubt, then walked out of the room. "Shimatta..." Haruka cursed himself, then slapped his forehead. "Michi-chan, matte!! It's not what you think!" He called out, then ran towards her. Michiru just smiled, when he hugged her tight. She kissed him softly on the cheeks, as she hugged him back. "It's okay Ruka-chan. I understand how you feel. It was only a crush ne?" Haruka nodded in response, then kissed her forehead delicately. "I'm glad..." he whispered, then pushed her slightly. They were about to kiss, when a bubbly Hotaru entered the room. "Papa, Mama, can I...oops! Gomen ne!" Hotaru exclaimed, with a faint blush creeping across her face. "What do you want sweetie?" Michiru asked. "Um...can I go to Bunny's house?" Hotaru asked in permission. "Bunny? sounds familiar...isn't that what Usagi means?" Haruka asked. "Hai! it is!" Hotaru replied with a giggle. "Bunny...Usagi...Masaka!" Michiru gasped. "Something wrong Michi-chan?" Haruka asked. "Ruka-papa, I guess Mama realized who Bunny is." Hotaru said. "You mean to tell me, that Bunny is...(AN: Ha! no way! I won't tell who she really is...yet! Hehehe...) so she really is back..." Haruka mused. "Hai...so can I go see her?" Hotaru asked again. "Of course dear. Just be back before dinner. Oh, and if you want to stay there for the night, just call us ne?" Michiru said, then stroked Hotaru's hair. "Hai! Arigatou Mama, Papa... Ja!" She exclaimed, then left. "If she's back, then they would be coming back as well..." Haruka said, then gathered his wife in his embrace. "Don't worry dear...I know everything would be okay." Michiru assured him. "I hope you're right my love..." "I know I'm right dear. Don't ever doubt." She said with a wink, then kissed him deeply, to silence him.
Bunny was busily fixing her clothes. She just went shopping the other day, and filled her walk-in closet, with casual clothes, cocktail dresses, evening gowns (for social events & formal dates), and her school uniform.(of course!) Her shoe rack was in her walk-in closet as well. She bought several sandals (high heeled ones), shoes of different occasions and two pairs of sneakers. She was about to try out her new Lingerie, when the doorbell rang. "Who on Earth could that be?" She wondered out loud, as she opened the door. "Hotaru-chan!!" She exclaimed in shock, when she saw the grinning Goddess of creation, and destruction. "Did you miss me?" Hotaru asked. Bunny just laughed in response, then led her in. "Of course Hotaru- chan...Hmm, I bet the outers already know that I'm back." Bunny said, sat on the couch. "Hai...This house is amazing Bunny." Hotaru said, with her eyes twinkling, as she wandered around. "Arigatou Hotaru-chan....I'm preparing this house for their arrival." She said. "When are they coming?" Hotaru asked, as she flopped down on a bean bag. "Soon enough...I don't know the exact date of their arrival. Gomen ne!" Bunny apologized sheepishly. Hotaru laughed out loud, then stood up. "You haven't changed a bit." "You think so?" Bunny asked. ''Yeah, absolutely...you never did change. Your sister was the same as you. But she has changed, for the better." Hotaru replied. "Really? Oh Hotaru-chan...I can't believe it! After all these years, I finally saw her. She really is a beauty. She's so exquisite! So kind, so generous, friendly, and...and..." Bunny trailed off, then sighed dreamily. "Geez! Snap out of it Bunny. Besides, you have to restrain yourself...they can't find out yet." Hotaru warned. "Yeah, you don't have to remind me about that." She said, then stood up. Bunny went into the kitchen, followed by Hotaru. "Watcha doing Bunny-chan?" she asked. "Well, I just baked some brownies. Hope you'll like them..." Bunny said. "Really? Let's see if yours is better that your 2***'s cooking." Hotaru teased, then took a bite. "Um...so, Is mine better? or much worse?" Bunny asked, a little nervous from Hotaru's still expression. "Shimatta! Bunny- chan, it's delicious!!!" Hotaru squealed in delight, then grabbed another piece of brownie, and devoured it. Bunny just sweat dropped, and laughed heartily, at the sight. Later that afternoon, Hotaru peeked in Bunny's room, then sighed when she saw her crying. "Daijobu ka Bunny-chan?" she asked softly. "Hai...demo, I miss my E&$@m^...I miss him so much." She broke down to tears, once more. Hotaru sat on the bed, then hugged her for comfort. "Demo, He's already with..." Hotaru trailed off. "I know! and I'm blaming myself for that. If only I was beside him." Bunny said in a muffled voice. Hotaru shook her head, then did her best to comfort her friend. "Do you want me to stay here with you?'' she asked. "If it's okay..." Bunny replied. "I'll just call, and inform my parents." Hotaru said, then picked up the phone, on the night table, beside the lamp. She dialed some numbers, then waited for anyone to answer the phone. When someone did answer..."Moshi-moshi, Setsuna-Mama, I'll be staying at Bunny's house for the evening. But I'll be home early...Hai, I understand. Arigatou...Ja!" She exclaimed, then hanged down. "Good news! Setsuna-mama, agreed!" A very excited Hotaru said, as she sat beside Bunny. "Thanks for the comfort Hota-chan. I really appreciate it." "Nah, it's nothing!" Hotaru replied childishly. "Now c'mon Bunny-chan, let's watch some home movies." She suggested. "Sure!" Bunny replied, then rushed down the stairs, to out run a giggling Hotaru. "Race you Bunny!" she exclaimed, with a giggle. "Ha! No one can out race me!" she exclaimed, then ran after her.
In a far away Dimension, a huge palace stood grandly. It's brick walls were covered with black vines, which serves as a barrier. Black thunder crashed down and hovered over the castle, while dark clouds covered the entire sky. A woman, dressed in black and silver gown, sat on her throne. Her long nails were painted in black, and her skin was wrinkled from age. Though she may be old, her beauty is still visible, especially when her white streaked, black hair is up in a tight bun. "Irene! Irene! Irene!" she called out angrily, which echoed through the castle walls. "You called me your Majesty?" A young lady with light blonde hair, and a pair of jade green eyes appeared. She was wearing a Venus-cut white sundress with a flute, attached to the dress' waistband. "Irene, have you found the twins?" the woman asked. "I'm sorry Queen Aaliyah, but I haven't found them yet." Irene replied. "I'm getting Impatient with this Irene. Tell me if you can't do it, then I'll send Natalia instead." Aaliyah said, in a very cold tone. "Don't worry you're Majesty, I'll try my luck in the planet called Earth. I've heard many stories about that planet. I even heard that several sailor Senshi are protecting that planet." Irene said, with her head bowed down in shame. "Are you telling me that the Legendary universal twins are there?" Aaliyah asked. "Probably your Majesty, I'm not yet sure." Irene replied. "Well then, find them and bring them back to me." Aaliyah said. Irene stood straight, and was about to leave, when Aaliyah said something in addition. "Bring them back Irene...Dead or Alive." Thunder crashed down, as Aaliyah laughed evilly.
Back at Earth, the girls were playing, and teasing each other as they walk through the park. "Oi... hahaha...Bunny...s...stop tickling!" Usagi exclaimed, as she tried to escape, from Bunny's grasp. "Iie! not unless you tell me, that you'll be my partner in our physics project!" Bunny said, while tickling a very breathless Usagi....mercilessly. "Yes! Yes! Yes! Hahaha! Yes!!!" Usagi nearly screamed out. She was still laughing hard, even though Bunny already stop tickling. She held her sides, for she felt some pain...cause she laughed heartily, for over an hour. The other girls, just stood on one side, watching them with smiles on their faces. "They get along well don't they?" Makoto asked. "Hai...they do. Strange, but they seemed to be connected." Minako mused, as she watch the two *odango* headed girls, play around like kids. "Connected like they're twins?" Ami asked. "Yeah...kinda like that." Minako replied, while wrinkling her nose. "Demo, Usagi-chan is an only child isn't she? So there's no way, that Usagi is a twin." Makoto said, as she drape an arm across Ami's shoulder. "So, I suggest that you drop that silly thought." she added. "I guess so..." Ami finally said, in defeat. "Minna!" Usagi exclaimed, as she ran up to them, followed by Bunny. "What's the fuss Usa-chan?" Minako asked. "Bunny is treating us at Crown." Usagi said, with a wide grin. "Honto ni?!" Makoto asked, with her eyes twinkling. Bunny giggled at the sight, then nodded a yes. "Well, then...let's go!" Ami exclaimed, then ran ahead of them. Everyone sweat dropped, then laughed as they followed, their blue-haired friend. Unfortunately, they never arrived at Crown parlor, for a Youma appeared before them. It was like a huge bull, with large horns, and walks on it's hind legs. "Where are the twins?!" He asked, in a loud growl. The girls nearly lost their balance, for the Youma's growl was so intense, that it almost threw them away. "Won't they stop coming in our planet?!" Minako asked, quite pissed off, for a new enemy appeared. "I guess they won't." Usagi said. "Let's transform..." she added, before saying her transformation words. "Moon eternal...make up!" The others followed their leader, including Bunny. "Crescent eternal make up!" After the transformation sequence, they stared at her in shock, for her Fuku was the exact duplicate of Eternal Sailor moon, except hers doesn't have huge wings. "Is there something wrong?" she asked. "Sort of...your Fuku...it's exactly like Sailor Moon's." Venus said. They were busily chatting about the identical fuku that they forgot about their mission. The youma, pissed off for being ignored, slowly inched his way, towards the Bishohojo Senshi, and attacked them with a blast of energy. "Baka!!!!!" Minako exclaimed angrily, for her legs got bruised, when they were thrown away. The others began to back out, then pulled a very confused Crescent, away from the raging Venus. "What's going on?" she asked. "Um...let's just say, that Mina- chan gets crazy when angry." Jupiter explained, in the most convenient way.
"Never ever mess up with a goddess!!!" Venus exclaimed angrily. At the very moment, she was enveloped with swirls of chains, shaped like heart. (Like when she is transforming.) She became nude once more, and her sign appeared on her forehead, replacing her tiara. "I swear, you'll regret that you came in this planet." She said icily, then the chains disappeared, leaving her in a new fuku. Slightly similar, to the sailor starlight's fuku. The cloth is exactly like Serenity's gown, with a gold X which seperates the top from skirt. Her flat stomach is exposed, and her...um asset can be visibly seen on her bra-like top. Of course, her ribbon's color changed as well...it turned into the lightest shade of orange, just like the color of her new fuku. Her gloves disappeared, including her shoes, leaving her with bare foot. A pair of wing, appeared on her back, in the shade of orange, in a darker shade. Though she won't be able to walk, for she doesn't have shoes, her new powers enabled her, to use the easiest method to fight...flying. The youma backed away from shock, and was about to escape. But he was eliminated instantly, by a huge blast of energy, coming from the new Sailor Venus. "Whoa! that was way too cool!" Sailor moon said, when she recovered from shock. The four of them ran to their friend, who was already calm at that time. "How on Earth did that happen?" Venus asked, for she as well was confused. "You just got your ultimate power Venus." Crescent suddenly spoke up, from her silence. "Do you know something Crescent?" Mercury asked. "Not really...I just knew that it was her ultimate form, for her sign appeared on her forehead, instead of her tiara." Crescent explained. "I see...so that means, we'll be regaining our powers soon." Mercury said, just confirming her thoughts. "Yeah...and it will only happen, if your emotions burst out. Either anger, happiness, sorrow or sadness." Crescent explained farther. "Okay, now everything's clear, can we detransformed now? Besides, I'm tired." Venus said, in a whine. "I guess we should all head home to rest." Mercury suggested. "Hai...besides, this battle has been a very weird, and exhausting battle." Jupiter said in agreement. So, the five of them detransformed, and head in their own separate ways. Usagi and Bunny were left in the park, for they have no intention, of going home early. "Oi Bunny, wanna come with me to our house? Mother is a delicious cook. You can stay there for dinner." Usagi suggested. "Sure! I'd be glad to." Bunny agreed with a smile. ' I just hope that, they still remember me. ' Bunny thought. "C'mon, I want to introduce you to my parents, before dinner." Usagi said, then dragged Bunny towards the Tsukino residence.
Ikuko was cooking dinner, when Usagi came home, using the back door. "You're just in time for dinner Usagi." she said, as she stir the contents of the pot. "Mother, I brought a friend for dinner." Usagi said, then kissed her mothers cheek. "Well, bring her to the living room. Dinner would be served in ten minutes." Ikuko said, then turned to face her daughter. "Shimatta!" she exclaimed, when she saw Usagi's friend. Bunny smiled knowingly, for Ikuko still remembered who she really is. "Is there something wrong mom?" Usagi asked. Instead of replying, Ikuko called out her husband. "Kenji! Kenji!" Usagi was beginning to worry, for her mother was yelling out her father's name frantically. "What's wrong?" He asked, catching his breath, for he ran when he heard his wife, calling out his name. "Kenji, she's here! She's back!" Ikuko said tearfully. "Oh my God...Bunny!" Kenji exclaimed with a gasp. "What's going on?" Usagi asked in confusion. "Sweetie, she's your twin." Ikuko said, with rears flowing out of her eyes. Later that evening, they were at the living room, explaining everything to the twins. "You see, when the both of you were still a year old, our old house was caught on a fire. We got you both out, but someone took your sister. We've searched for her everywhere, but failed. We didn't bother to tell you the truth Usagi. We never thought that she'd be back." Kenji said, while holding his weeping wife, close to him. "Onee-san..." Bunny threw her arms around Usagi, then cried. "So that's the reason why I feel close to you. Gods...I can't believe this." She said, then shed her own tears of Happiness. When Shingo came home, everything was explained to him as well. They all listened to Bunny, as she told them her story, from the orphanage, up to the rich family that adopted her. Everyone slept contentedly that night, for they found a lost member of the Tsukino family. After seventeen long years, their family is now complete. The twins stayed up until dawn, telling their experience, while eating their favorite dessert.... Chocolate ice cream, with melted marshmallows, on top.
"What?!" Shouted several voices. Everyone was at the Hikawa shrine to tell everyone the news. Though the outers knew, they just acted surprised, so they won't be obvious. "No way! How did this happen?!" Rei asked, hysterically. "C'mon guys, geez! all of you are over reacting. Besides, it's cool to have a twin." Usagi said, with a quirky grin. "Demo, how can this happen?! Usagi-chan is the only daughter of Kenji and Ikuko ne?" Makoto asked, as she stared at the odango-headed ladies in front of her. "We would answer that..." A voice said, from behind the door. "Who's that?" Rei asked, preparing to attack, the trespasser. A man and a woman slowly walked in the shrine. The man has a very long white hair, wearing white clothes as well. He's wearing a chain around his neck, with a crescent moon, as the pendant. The woman has a very long jet-black hair, with two odango's, and the rest of her hair, cascaded on her back, in waves and curls. She too, wears a chain and crescent moon pendant. Both of them have a crescent moon, on their forehead. "Luna? Artemis?" Usagi asked, with her eyes, wide in surprise. "Artemis?! What on Earth is happening here?! Setsuna!!!!" Minako exclaimed angrily. "Calm down Minako-chan. You will find out about everything...but not for now. Luna and Artemis will be using their original form, from now on. They'll be living at the Tenou mansion with us. Don't worry, for you'll get your full memories back." Setsuna said, then stood up. "Do not worry about anything..." she added, then left. The other three, followed her out in silence, and left four girls in trance. "This is a very weird day..." Rei muttered, as the Tsukino twins rolled in laughter. When everyone has accepted the truth, they went to Minako's concert.
The concert is a total success, even though it had just begun. Hours have passed by, but the concert is still in full swing. Spinning like gold threads, the beautiful teen idol did everything like magic. Her moves are exquisite, her body language delivered the song's message, her angelic voice can touch everyone's heart, no matter how cold-hearted he/she may be.
*You're with me 'till the bitter end, What we had transcend this experience too painful to...
Talk about, 'till my heart can mend and be brave enough to love again.
A place in time Still belongs to us Stays preserved In my mind In the memories There is solace...*
The girls watched in amazement, as Minako sang her new single. "You know, I think she's expressing some message in her song. A message filled with sadness, and a hint of heart brake." Bunny stated, as she watch Minako sing. "I agree..." Usagi said, in a quiet voice, so that no one would hear her. Unfortunately, Bunny can hear her, for there's a link between them, through their minds. ' What could she possibly mean? ' She asked to herself, then listened to Minako's singing, once more.
*oh Never too far away I won't let time erase one bit bit of yesterday no nobody can take your place and though we may never be I'll keep you close to me always remember....
Love....... You're never to far.....*
Minako finished the song, with a dramatic end, which caused a thunderous applause, from the audience. She took a bow, then smiled while waving a hand, to her screaming fans. "Arigatou minna, for coming here tonight. I really appreciate it. This song that I'll be singing, would be my last for this evening. I hope that you enjoyed, as much as I did." She said, then prepared to sing, her finale.
*Heart don't fail me now Courage don't desert me Don't look back now that we're here People always say Life is full of choices No one ever mentions fear Or how the world can seem so vast On a journey to the past...
Somewhere down this road I know someone's waiting Years of dreams just can't be wrong Arms will open wide I'll be safe and wanted Finally home where I belong Well starting now I'm learning fast On this journey to the past....
Home Love Family There was once a time I must've had them too Home Love Family I will never be complete Until I find you...
One step at a time One hope then another Who knows where this road may go Back to who I was I'm to find my future Things my heart still needs to know Yes, let this be your sign Let this road be mine Let it lead me to my past And bring me home at last...*
Everything went perfect, as expected. After the song, everyone rose to their feet, and clapped wildly, to express their joy, to her a very angelic voice. Minako nearly cried, when she saw everyone standing, and clapping as loud as they can, yelling her name in adoration, and cheering for her great performance. She bowed several times, then left the stage. She went to her dressing room, crying from joy and happiness. Large bouquet of flowers, and several gifts were in her dressing room, when she entered. Minako smiled, then sniffed the wonderful fragrance, of the flowers. She sat on the couch, then hugged her favorite pillow. ' This is what I've always wanted...' She thought happily, as tears of joy, streamed on her lovely face. She giggled softly, then wiped the tears away. ' I just wish that he was here...' she thought glumly, then fell to a deep slumber, from exhaustion. The girls came in the room, to congratulate her. But when they saw her sleeping, Ami went to fetch the driver, so that she can sleep on her own bed.
Bunny was brushing her teeth, when Usagi came in the room. "Bunny-chan, Arigatou for letting me stay here, for the night." Usagi said, then washed her face."Aw...itsh...nothing...beshidsh... Were...twinsh." She replied, still brushing her teeth, which made her sound, like a kid. Usagi giggled, then shook her head. "Oyasuminasai..." Usagi said, then left. After brushing her teeth, she took a quick shower, then got dressed. She went to the guest room, which was located on the other side, of Bunny's room. "Onee-san, what're you doing?" she asked curiously, when she saw Usagi, writing. Getting no response, for Usagi was a very serious worker, Bunny walked towards the desk lamp, for her twin wasn't writing...she was drawing. A familiar drawing of a man, with long jet-black hair, tied in a ponytail. "Sugoi..." Bunny breathed, when she saw how talented Usagi is. "Onee-san, that's a masterpiece!" she exclaimed happily, which surprised her twin. "Are you trying to kill me?!" Usagi asked, while holding her chest, as her breathing returned to normal. "Iie, I was just trying to tell you, how beautiful you draw." Bunny murmured, then grabbed her sister's drawing. "Hey give it back!" Usagi yelled, while blushing. "No way! you should show these, to the other girls." "Um...probably next time..." Usagi replied, her face still red. "By the way, who is this guy? He's so handsome...is he your boyfriend?" Bunny asked. She watched in amusement, as Usagi's face turned crimson. "h...he's just a good friend of mine. He's name is Seiya, a former teen idol. My boyfriend is studying in America...his name is Mamoru Chiba." Usagi replied. "Really? But from the look of things, I think you're in love with Seiya, and not with Mamoru." Bunny stated, which caught her twin's, full attention. "I was right...you are in love with him." She said, when she saw the sad expression, from her twin's face. "Hai...I never realized it, until he was gone." Usagi replied, as tears trickled down on her face. Bunny just sighed, but smiled inwardly, while hugging her twin, for comfort. "Don't worry Onee-san, I know that everything would be fine." Bunny said, to comfort her sister. Usagi straightened up, then wiped her tears. "Arigatou for the advice, I just hope that it would come true." "It will, my dear twin. You just have to pray for it." Bunny said, then winked at her, before leaving the room to sleep. Usagi shook her head with a laugh, then she stood up, to get the blanket, from the closet. Both of them slept peacefully, knowing that they're now complete.
The next day, Usagi was walking towards crown, when she bumped into someone. "Geez Usako, you never did change." A deep voice said. She looked up, and gasped when she saw who the guy was. "M...Mamo-chan?" The man smiled, as he helped her stand up. "Hai...I was going to surprise you. But I guess you found me." He said, then gave her a kiss...short, but sweet. "W..When d..did you arrive?" She asked in stutter. "This morning...I graduated two weeks ago, so now I'm a licensed doctor, at the Tenth secondary general hospital." He replied, with a proud smile. "Really? It's great! I'm happy for you!" She said, with less enthusiasm, than usual. Mamoru noticed this, but didn't say anything. "C'mon Mamo-chan, let's go to the park so we can talk." Usagi suggested. "Sure...lead the way princess." He said, and then placed an arm, around her waist. ' I have to tell him...' she thought, as they walked towards Juuban Park. The couple sat down on the grass, facing the lake. The sun was already setting, and the scenario was beautiful. "What do you want to talk about?" He asked. They were sitting side by side; Usagi's arms were wrapped around her knees, while Mamoru's legs were outstretched, with both arms supporting the weight of his body. "Mamoru, I've been thinking..." She began. Usagi knew that he'll be surprised, when he would hear her, calling him Mamoru. She took a deep breath, then began to speak, without even looking at the man beside her. "I was thinking, that we should break up. It's been a long time, I still love you, but not as a lover, but as a friend." After her short speech, she turned to look at Mamoru. To her surprise, he was smiling. "Actually, I've been thinking about that as well. We've been distant to each other, and I can tell that you love him." He said, with a grin. "What are you talking about?" She asked. "Seiya...you love him right?" Usagi blushed crimson, then nodded. "I was right then...Usagi-chan, even if were not lovers anymore, we can still be the best of friends ne?" Usagi smiled, then wiped a stray tear. "Always..." she replied, then hugged him tight.
Meanwhile, Irene was still pissed off, for her mission was interrupted. "I'll get those Sailor Soldiers, even if it takes me eternity, to do so!" She exclaimed angrily, to release the tension, on her mind. She pulled out a card, then threw it up on the air. It slowly came down, to her eye level. "Go my faithful servant, find the Universal twins!" she said, then played her flute. Suddenly, a Youma, which looks like a humanoid crab, came out of the card. "Cancer, at your service..." The Youma said. "Go and find them...I won't tolerate failures, like what Tauro did." She said, then waved her hand, to send cancer on Earth...
Back at Earth, Mamoru was walking towards his apartment, when he collided into someone. "Ugh...Usagi-chan, I can't believe you still haven't changed!" He muttered, as he helped a woman with blonde hair, in two buns. "Whoa! Cool hairdo Usagi-chan." Mamoru commented. "Demo...you still have the odango." he added with mock, while squishing one of her odangos. "Excuse me mister, but I'm not Usagi. I'm her twin sister...Bunny." The girl said, with a tint blush, across her face. "T...t...twin?!" Mamoru stuttered in shock. He stared at her, then placed a hand on his forehead. "Shimatta..." He stated, and then fainted. Luckily, Bunny caught him in time. "Geez..." she muttered, then dragged a very unconscious Mamoru, towards her car. During the drive, Mamoru woke up. "Where am I?" He asked. "You're in my car, and I'm bringing you home. Just tell me where you live." She said, as she concentrated on driving. "So Usagi is a twin..." he stated, then looked at her in amazement. "Hai...we just found out, a few days ago." Bunny replied, and then stopped the car, in front of a huge mansion. "Hey is that your house?" Mamoru asked in amazement. "Yep! If I'm not mistaken, you're Chiba Mamoru." "Hai...how did you know?" He asked. "Just a wild guess." Bunny replied, as she got out of the car. Mamoru followed, and they went in the house together. Bunny led him to the living room. "Feel yourself at home. I'll prepare some snacks." She said, then left the room. When she returned, she was carrying a tray, filled with mouth-watering pastries, and two cans of soda. "So, where have you been all these years?" Mamoru asked, when she sat down. "I was adopted by a rich family, who lives in America. They were nice to me, and they treated me like I'm their own. They even admitted that I was adopted, and that my real parents lives somewhere in Japan. So I went here, and met my real family" Bunny explained, then drank her soda. "What happened anyway? How did you..." He started, but was cut off by Bunny. "Our house caught on fire, when I was a kid. I was with Usagi-chan, but someone took me. Right after the incident, I had amnesia, for I fell on a cliff, when I escaped from the man, who kidnapped me. Then, a nun found me, and took me to the orphanage." Bunny replied, then wiped a stray tear. Mamoru went to her side, then placed a comforting hand on hers. "Hey, it's okay to cry. I know the feeling, of being away from my family. I am an orphan myself, and I've had amnesia. My parents died, in a car accident, I was in the car as well, but my mother protected me. That's why I'm here." Mamoru said, which surprised Bunny. "My God...I never expected..." She trailed off. Bunny hugged him, as he cried in her arms. "You're the second person, whom I've opened up like this..." He said, through muffled sobs. "Usagi- chan was the first ne?" Bunny asked. "Hai..." Mamoru replied, then straightened himself up. "Arigatou Bunny-chan..." He said. "But I have to go home now." He added. "Alright, I'll walk you outside." she said, then stood up. "Thanks for the snacks, and comfort." Mamoru said, as he stepped out of the house. "It was nothing..." Bunny said, then smiled. "So I'll just see you sometime?" "Yeah..." she replied, then closed the door. Moments later, she slowly slid down, with a dreamy sigh. "Oh God...I can't possibly fall in love, with my sister's boyfriend." She said in trance.

*INTRODUCTION*
It's been two years since Galaxia was defeated. Everyone is at peace and everything is back to normal. The girls are now in their senior year, which started just a couple of weeks ago. Rei is still studying at *TA* private school for girls, while Haruka & Michiru are now happily married. Mamoru on the other hand had gone back to the states to finish his studies at Harvard. Though apart, Usagi & Mamoru still find time to spend together. As for the starlights, no one heard anything from them again. The girls missed them so much and wished that they haven't left...(AND NOW, ON WITH THE STORY....)
Chapter one (Bunny Tsukino?!)
It was a very bright and sunny morning. Usagi was walking towards crown, where all her friends are waiting for her. It's been two years and the old Usagi have disappeared. Instead, a beautiful, kind, caring, gentle and Angel-like lady took place. Her clumsiness wore off a long time ago, and so did her tardiness. Her high-pitched laugh was replaced by an angelic one, which causes ones bad day to brighten. She also stopped pigging out on food and sweets...and the result is, she has the most beautiful set of white teeth. Not only did her Attitude change, but her whole appearance as well. You can see her before as an immature klutz who always fails on tests. But now, she's a refined young lady with beauty and grace. Slim waist, slender body, long gorgeous legs and inviting curves attracts many all over Tokyo. She did leave her hair in the usual style. Her reason? Well, It's simple...She wants to tell everyone that, even though she did grow up...a part of her will always be a child. The girls waved as she entered the arcade. "Ohio minna!" she said energetically as she sat on their usual booth. "Ohio Usagi-Chan..." Minako said after she finished her iced tea. "Ohio..." Usagi replied. She smiled inwardly while looking at her friends. 'They have changed...a lot.' she thought.... Ami is studying hard, for she's running for the school valedictorian. She is under a lot of pressure from school...luckily, the girls together with Ryo, are always at her side to support her. Makoto on the other hand pursued her dream to become a famous chef. She opened a cafe almost a month ago, and is now a complete success. Rei had continued her fortune telling business, which made her famous. Finally, Usagi's best friend... Minako. This blonde teen just passed the teen idol competition. She already signed a contract and will soon start her recordings. "Daijobu ka Usagi-Chan?" Rei asked. "Hai..." Usagi replied with a tint of blush across her face from embarrassment. "You seemed to be spacey...Is everything alright?" Makoto asked worriedly. "Hai! Don't worry about me...I'm fine. It's just that seeing changes around us makes me feel happy." She replied dreamily. "What do you exactly mean by that Usa-chan?" Minako asked then leaned forward in curiosity. "It just feels good to actually experience peace...at last." "Yeah...after all these years of non- stop fighting, we're now back to our normal life with no Youma's to battle." Rei said in a low voice. "It's kinda sad...I really didn't think that I'd feel this down. We can't transform just because we don't have enemies to battle with." Minako mumbled. "Yeah...but at least everything's peaceful now." Usagi said with a sigh. "So, what are our pans for the day?" she asked. "Dunno.... Howz about shopping?" Minako suggested with a mischievous grin. "Shop till we drop?" Ami asked. "Yep!!!" Minako replied. Rei sighed heavily. "I guess we have to agree with her this time." "Yeah...besides, her idea is the only one which we all agree with." Says Makoto. "Well then lets go..." Usagi said then stood up, followed by the others.
They were wandering around the mall for quite some time now. Ami had purchased several books about medicine, and some books about the outer space. Minako on the other hand had bought several dresses from a boutique, which she'll be using, during her appearances to her fans. She also bought some art equipment and paints. Since the Three Lights' departure, Minako dedicated her time in Arts and paintings. Makoto went head over heels when she saw a new kitchenware set. So without a second thought, she purchased it with a huge grin on her face. Rei was having a hard time finding the right gift for Yuuichiru. She gave up with a sigh, bought some tarot cards for her fortune telling and a pair of dress shirt for Yuuichiru. Rei noticed, that Usagi haven't bought anything yet. Sensing something, she approached her, and placed a hand on Usagi's shoulder. "Daijobu ka Usagi- Chan?" Startled, Usagi looked back and saw Rei's worried face. "H...Hai...Don't worry I'm fine." she replied. "Is there any problem?" Rei asked. By now, the other girls have noticed Usagi's bothered expression. "Iie...why'd you ask?" "Because you haven't bought anything, and you're acting strangely since this morning." Makoto said. Usagi looked down at the floor then sighed. "If you have a problem tell us." Ami said. Usagi knew that she had to tell her fears to the girls, eventually. She looked up and told them that she's been bothered by a strange dream. "What kind of dream Usagi-Chan?" Rei asked. "I don't know...I can only see a shadow of a lady and she's always saying the same thing." Usagi said in a low voice. "What is it?" Minako asked curiously. "She's back and she missed me so much." Usagi replied. "Have you told Mamoru-san about this?" Rei asked. "Hai...he told me not to worry much. He also told me that he'll be back soon, so...there's no reason for me to worry." She replied with a faint blush. "C'mon guys, lets talk outside." Ami suggested. The others nodded in agreement, and they headed out for the Park. They were walking along Juuban Park, where in numerous cherry blossom trees stood grandly, to attract people's attention. "It's like old times isn't it?" Minako asked as she leaned on a tree. "Yeah...I still can't believe that we've changed a lot since..." Makoto trailed off, when she noticed the sudden change of atmosphere. "Gomen ne..." she mumbled. Ever since the Three Lights left, the girls have avoided mentioning their names. The reason? Simple...The Three Lights are very important people to them. These three have risked their lives to save Usagi and almost died in the process. "It's okay Mako-chan... it can't be helped." Minako said in a raspy voice, then left. The four girls stared at Minako as she walked away with her fists clenched tightly.
That evening, Usagi went to Minako's new apartment. "Minako, are you home?" she asked. She knocked once more but no one answered. Usagi sighed then turned to leave, when the door opened. She gasped when she saw Minako's eyes...red and puffy from crying. "What's wrong?" she asked worriedly while embracing Minako in a tight embrace. "Nothing..." she replied hoarsely. "I don't want to talk about it yet..." Minako added. She pulled out of the embrace and led Usagi in. "Would you like me to stay here tonight?" Usagi asked then wiped the tearstains from Minako's cheeks. "Hai...if it's okay. I really don't feel like being alone tonight." "Okay then...I'll stay here for you." Usagi said, then squeezed Minako's hand gently. "Arigatou..." she replied. They were sleeping peacefully that evening. All of a sudden, Minako began to shift restlessly.
*DREAMY SEQUENCE* In a beautiful meadow, Minako wandered around while humming a soft, yet beautiful melody. Wearing a simple white dress made from pure cotton, she looked like a goddess, especially with her hair billowing from the wind. Suddenly, a man came up to her with a smile that brightened up her day. She smiled sweetly, and held the man's hand. He was wearing a white cotton shirt and dress pants...he looked like a god, suited for his goddess. "Aishiteru Mina-Chan..." The man whispered seductively, which sent shivers, through her spine. She buried her face on the man's chest to hide her blush...but her blush turned crimson, when the man trailed his fingers around her back. "Are you okay my sweet?" he asked. But deep inside him, he knew that his Angel is very happy...and so is he. Minako looked up to him with her eyes full of love. "Aishiteru..." she said, then slowly wrapped her arms around the man's neck. Minako tiptoed and planted a soft kiss on his lips. But the man pulled her up in his embrace, for a deep and searing kiss. When they broke off, Minako sat down on the grass then told the man to sit beside her. They were lying around, with arms around each other and whispering words of undying love. "Angel...we'll be together. I promise you that." The man said then kissed her forehead. "I know that..." She said as she snuggled in his embrace. Suddenly, the man sat up which startled her. "What's wrong?" She asked as she sat up. To her surprise, the man held out his hand. "C'mon...let's take a walk through the forest." he said then slowly walked away. "Matte...Yaten-Chan...Wait for me!!!" she exclaimed then stood up. She began to run while calling out his name. "Yaten- chan!!!!!" But he floated away and kept chanting the same thing. "Come...come...come with me." he chanted repeatedly, while floating farther and farther away from Minako. *END OF DREAMY SEQUENCE*
Minako woke up with her body drenched in sweat, and her breathing irrational. Usagi woke up with a start when she felt Minako sit up then began to cry. "Daijobu ka Minako?" She asked while enveloping her in a tight embrace. "I love him..." Minako whispered, which literary surprised the odango headed girl. "Who... Who are you referring to Mina-chan?" Usagi asked in trance. "Yaten..." She replied in a whisper. "Why didn't you tell us? We could have helped you." Minako sobbed even louder. "B...b...because. I know it would be useless. He hates me..." She explained in between sobs. Usagi sighed then caressed Minako's hair. "That's not true Minako- chan...I'm sure that he likes you." Usagi said, then pushed her friend into arms length. "Demo...he always screams at me, and pushes me farther away from his life." Minako said then broke down to tears once more. "If he doesn't love you then...forget about him. Besides, he's gone Minako-chan. Try to open your heart to someone who deserves you better." Usagi said in comfort. "Now I want you to rest and try to forget about it." she added with a smile. "Okay...I think it would be better..." She said then lay back down to sleep. Usagi sighed heavily then, snuggled back on the bed to sleep once more.
Setsuna was drinking her tea, when Michiru entered the kitchen. "What's for breakfast Setsuna-san?" Michiru asked. "Bread, ham, scrambled eggs, pancakes, assorted muffins and a choice between coffee, juice or tea." Setsuna replied. Michiru was about to say something, when Hotaru came rushing in. "Ohio Setsuna-san! ohio Mama!" she exclaimed then took a bite on Setsuna's sandwich then gulped down a cup of tea. "Ja!!!!" Hotaru yelled as she ran out to go to school. "My little baby is growing up so fast..." Michiru sighed, then sat down on the chair beside Setsuna. "Don't be sad Michiru-san...besides, there's going to be a new baby soon." Setsuna said with a wink. "Wh...wha...what do you mean?" Michiru stuttered. The time goddess just smile innocently, then took a bite on her sandwich. ' She's teasing me...' Michiru thought while watching Setsuna's weird attitude. "You're hiding something..." She finally voiced out. "Of course I am! And I also know that you'll be giving birth in SEVEN months from now." Michiru's hand flew up on her mouth. Haruka came in the room, fresh from shower with a towel draped around his shoulders. His eyebrows cocked when he saw Michiru standing still and Setsuna who was smiling broadly. "What's going on here?" he asked. "Ask your wife." Setsuna said, then stood up. "How can I ask her, when she's like a statue." Haruka said, with an eyebrow raised. "I don't know..." Setsuna shrugged, then left a pissed off sky God. "Michi- chan, what happened?" Haruka asked, when he got near her. Relieving no answer, Haruka decided to do the most effective solution...He bent down, then kissed her deeply. Soon enough, Michiru began to respond, as the kiss became more passionate. "So...what happened?" Haruka asked when they parted. "Ruka-chan, y...you're gonna be a...a father soon." she said, before fainting from shock. "Michi-chan!" Haruka exclaimed, when he recovered from shock. "A father soon...she's pregnant?!" Haruka's eyes grew big as the thought struck him...hard. Instead of carrying his wife to their room, the usual self-controlled, clear-minded, *Mr. I don't reveal my feelings* and hot tempered Haruka Tenou...fainted beside his wife. Haruka sat up, still feeling drowsy. "What the hell happened?" he asked to no one in particular. Then suddenly, everything came back to him in a flash. He looked at Michiru, who on the other hand, was sleeping peacefully beside him. ' Hotaru must've used her powers to transfer us here...' Haruka thought with a smile, as he caressed Michiru's hair. He stopped when she shifted her position, then slowly woke up. "Ruka-chan..." She mumbled sleepily. "Go back to sleep." He said with a smile, then lay down on the bed, and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Don't you think we've already slept too much?" she asked. Haruka nodded, then nuzzled her nose, which made her giggle. "Hai...we overslept..." he replied with a quirky grin, which was not her usual style. Haruka stared at his wife lovingly. ' She's more beautiful when pregnant...' He thought. "Why are you staring at me Ruka-chan?" "Nothing..." He replied, then pulled her closer to him. "Is it okay that I'm pregnant?" She asked, when both were relaxed. "Of course dear. It's about time that we start our own family. At least we had some experience with Hotaru." Haruka replied. "Hai...she'll always be our baby." Michiru said, as memories flooded back to her. She smiled contently, then closed her eyes to sleep in the arms of his beloved. Haruka looked down at the sleeping woman in his arms. ' I guess she'll be sleeping more often...' He thought, then joined his wife, for he won't be able to get out of bed. Sailor Pluto smiled at what she saw, from the gate of time. "This year would be very interesting for us." She said, then transformed back to Setsuna. ' They would be surprised...surprised when they'll discover the truth.' She thought with a smirk, then stepped out of the time gates, and returned to the Mansion.
Ami sighed heavily, as she stared at her computer. She was working as a student teacher, at Azabu institute. She's been thinking about things lately, that her co-teachers thought, that she's sick. "Daijobu ka, Ami- chan?" A good-looking guy, asked her worriedly. "I'm okay Ryo-chan...just exhausted I guess." She replied. Ryo draped an arm around her shoulders, then leaned his face next to her. "Stop working dear...come, I'll take you to a quiet place, so you can relax." He said, then escorted her. "Demo, I still have to..." Ami started, but got silenced by a kiss. "You're working too hard. It's about to give your body some rest." Ryo said, as he caressed her cheeks. "I guess you're right..." Ami sighed in defeat. They got out of the office, and went to the park, to walk around, and to rest as well. "Ami-chan... I've been thinking about...us." Ryo suddenly said, breaking the silence. She looked up to him, her eyes filled with confusion, and so does her features. "I know you still love him. I thought that I can replace him, but I was mistaken...Ami-chan, I'm setting you free." He said, as tears started to fall, from his eyes. "R..Ryo...h..How about you?" She asked, trembling at the same time, for she was crying as well. "I'll be fine Ami-chan. As long as you're happy, then I'm okay." He replied, then faintly smiled. Ami smiled through her tears, and hugged him tight. "Arigatou Ryo-kun..." She whispered. "Ami-chan, can I kiss you one last time?" He asked. Ami smiled, then nodded in response. "Aishiteru, Ami- chan." "I know..." she replied, before Ryo captured her lips, in his. The kiss, was not a heated, nor a lustful kiss. It was just a kiss, which means that they'll be ending their relationship, but will begin a new friendship. The girls were shocked, when they heard the news. They never expected, that through all those years, one man remained in her heart...Taiki kou.
A beautiful woman stood in the middle of a Rose garden. Different colors of these marvelous creations surrounded her, like a blanket of flowers. She had a long silky blond hair, up in two large buns, tied with silky white ribbons. (AN: her hairstyle& hair length is exactly like Miaka's. If you don't know her, she's a character from Fushigi Yuugi.) The woman was also wearing a gown, which was the exact replica of Princess Serenity's gown, but the difference is that, the ornaments, and the bodice is silver. "I'll be with you soon..." she said, as silver tears fell delicately, on her cheeks. ' I promise...we'll be together.' she thought, then teleported to a huge mansion in Tokyo, together with the garden. She used a pearl white crystal, in order to teleport, and transform herself. ' I'm here, and well be together soon....' she thought. Luna, who was asleep on a beanbag, woke up with a start. "What's wrong Usagi-chan?" She asked worriedly, when she saw Usagi, sobbing uncontrollably. The moon princess mumbled something, but it was muffled from crying. "Luna, who is she? Who...is she?" Usagi asked. "What are you talking about Usagi-chan? I'm quite confused." Luna said. "There's a woman in my dream. I've been dreaming about it for months now...She kept on saying that she's back, and we'll be together. Luna, I'm scared..." Usagi said, then hugged her knees for comfort. ' Masaka...could it be that she's back? ' Luna thought deeply. "Usagi-chan, I suggest that you forget about it." Luna said, then headed for the door. "Where are you going?" Usagi asked. "Downstairs...go back to sleep." The guardian cat replied, then left the room. She transformed to her human form, then teleported herself to the gate of time. Luckily, Sailor Pluto was there to answer her questions. "I was actually expecting you Luna." Pluto said, while looking at the time ball, that shows her the Past, Future, and Present. "Is she..." Luna started, but was cut off by the goddess of time. "Hai...and so will they." Luna sighed, then shook her head. "The future is changing...isn't it?" The moon guardian asked. "No...the future that they saw, was a different future. The future has many paths Luna...and the future that they saw is the one, if the princess will marry Endymion." Pluto replied. "So...does this means, that we have to tell them?" "Not necessarily...they have to find about it alright. But in the right time." Pluto answered with a smile. "To tell you frankly, I do miss her...a lot." Luna said. "Yeah, me too...It's sad that she had to be sent away, locked in a time crystal, to save her from Beryll." "But now, they'll be together again, and be parted no more." Luna said, with a smile. "By the way, tell your husband to transform to his human form as well. She'll be arriving soon, and she have to recognize you." Pluto said, then opened the gate of time. "Now go...I've got something to do." The time goddess said, then went in the gate, to go to the future. "Well I guess, I have to work now..." Luna said, then teleported, to Minako's room. Unfortunately, Minako didn't take the shock of seeing Luna, as a human. Therefore, she fainted. "Why did you use your human, form anyway?" Artemis asked, as he transformed, into his human self. "She's back..." Luna stated, in the most casual manner. "She is?! b..b.. bu..but..." Artemis stuttered. Luna rolled her eyes. "Aren't you happy? You're gonna see her again." Luna snapped snobbishly. Artemis grinned from ear to ear, then pulled her in his embrace. "You're jealous..." he whispered in a teasing manner, which sent shivers through her spine. "Why would I?" She asked snobbishly. Though it failed, for she melted in Artemis' embrace, when he nuzzled her neck. "Co'z you love me." He whispered. Luna blushed crimson, then buried her face on his chest. "Yeah...I do love you Artemis. It's just that, you're always flirting with her, back at the Moon Kingdom." "That was before...besides, it was just a silly crush." Artemis said, then released some power, to change into more appropriate clothing. "Now c'mon dear, we have work to do." He added with a wink, then walked hand in hand, to find her.
The next morning, Usagi entered the classroom lazily, then sat on her chair. She sighed heavily then scanned through her books. Suddenly, someone giggled from beside her, which caught her attention. It was then she realized, that a new girl was sitting beside her. The girl smiled at her, then held out her hand. "Hi! I'm Bunny...Bunny kou." She said. Usagi smiled, then accepted her hand for a shake. "And I'm Usagi Tsukino. Pleased to meet you Bunny." Usagi said in response. "By the way, your surname...it sounds familiar...." Bunny giggled, which confused Usagi. "Is there something funny about what I've said?" Usagi asked. "Iie...my, my, my...I can't believe that you don't know the three lights." Bunny said with a grin. "Shimatta! are you related to them?" Usagi asked. "Yep! They're my cousins...and Kakyuu is like a dear sister to me." Usagi's jaw dropped open in shock. She was in that position when the other girls came. "Daijobu ka Usa?" Mako asked, the tranced girl. "She's a goner Mako-chan..." Minako stated, then sat casually on her seat. "Hey girl, the teacher is here." Makoto said, then gently shook her friend. Usagi's face reddened, then turned her attention to the teacher, who was introducing Bunny. "Class, we have a new student here. Her name is Bunny kou, and she's a relative of the Three Lights. She transferred here from the states, to see her cousins, and to live with them. But unfortunately, they haven't returned from their vacation." The sensei explained. "Ohio Minna! Hope we can all be friends." Bunny said with a wink, then held up a peace sign. Everyone in the class went silent, as soon as Bunny stepped up front. The reason? Simple....she's the exact replica of Usagi. The only difference is that, her hair was up in two large buns, tied with lavender ribbon. (Miaka's hairstyle) Even the eyes are the same. Soon enough, the teacher called their attention to start the class, as Bunny headed towards her seat, grinning from ear to ear. Lunch time, the girls invited her, to eat with them, under their usual tree. "So, if you're related to the three lights, that means...." Mako trailed off. "That means, I know their true identities." Bunny finished the sentence, for Makoto. "And I know your true identities..." she added. "Honto ni?!" Minako asked, getting excited from the fact, that the three lights might be coming back. "Hai... besides, I'm a Senshi myself." Bunny said, in a low voice, so that no one would hear her. "Who?" Usagi asked. "I'm sailor crescent." She replied. "Why did you came here? what's your purpose?" Makoto asked. "That I won't tell, but I can assure you, that you'll find out about my true identity, in the near future." Bunny replied. We understand if you want it to be a secret. Just be sure, that you'll explain why it has to be kept, when we find out." Usagi stated. "Absolutely..." She replied. The rest of the day passed by. Everyone was happy, that they have a new friend, a new comrade and....a new member of the Senshi family.
At the Tenou mansion, Michiru was looking hysterically for Setsuna. "Daijobu ka Michi-chan?" Haruka asked. He was beginning to worry, for it was her third time, to pass by the Study room, to ask for the whereabouts of Setsuna. "Hai...I just have to talk to her." She replied. "What for?" he asked. "Um...nothing important." Michiru replied nervously. Haruka stood up, then slowly walked towards her. "Something's bothering you...I can tell." He stated. "Now tell me the problem." The Sea goddess just sighed in defeat, then took out her mirror. "Ruka-chan...She's back." Michiru replied. Haruka's eyes grew big in shock. "She's back?! It's impossible!!!" He exclaimed. Michiru nodded to assure his doubt, then walked out of the room. "Shimatta..." Haruka cursed himself, then slapped his forehead. "Michi-chan, matte!! It's not what you think!" He called out, then ran towards her. Michiru just smiled, when he hugged her tight. She kissed him softly on the cheeks, as she hugged him back. "It's okay Ruka-chan. I understand how you feel. It was only a crush ne?" Haruka nodded in response, then kissed her forehead delicately. "I'm glad..." he whispered, then pushed her slightly. They were about to kiss, when a bubbly Hotaru entered the room. "Papa, Mama, can I...oops! Gomen ne!" Hotaru exclaimed, with a faint blush creeping across her face. "What do you want sweetie?" Michiru asked. "Um...can I go to Bunny's house?" Hotaru asked in permission. "Bunny? sounds familiar...isn't that what Usagi means?" Haruka asked. "Hai! it is!" Hotaru replied with a giggle. "Bunny...Usagi...Masaka!" Michiru gasped. "Something wrong Michi-chan?" Haruka asked. "Ruka-papa, I guess Mama realized who Bunny is." Hotaru said. "You mean to tell me, that Bunny is...(AN: Ha! no way! I won't tell who she really is...yet! Hehehe...) so she really is back..." Haruka mused. "Hai...so can I go see her?" Hotaru asked again. "Of course dear. Just be back before dinner. Oh, and if you want to stay there for the night, just call us ne?" Michiru said, then stroked Hotaru's hair. "Hai! Arigatou Mama, Papa... Ja!" She exclaimed, then left. "If she's back, then they would be coming back as well..." Haruka said, then gathered his wife in his embrace. "Don't worry dear...I know everything would be okay." Michiru assured him. "I hope you're right my love..." "I know I'm right dear. Don't ever doubt." She said with a wink, then kissed him deeply, to silence him.
Bunny was busily fixing her clothes. She just went shopping the other day, and filled her walk-in closet, with casual clothes, cocktail dresses, evening gowns (for social events & formal dates), and her school uniform.(of course!) Her shoe rack was in her walk-in closet as well. She bought several sandals (high heeled ones), shoes of different occasions and two pairs of sneakers. She was about to try out her new Lingerie, when the doorbell rang. "Who on Earth could that be?" She wondered out loud, as she opened the door. "Hotaru-chan!!" She exclaimed in shock, when she saw the grinning Goddess of creation, and destruction. "Did you miss me?" Hotaru asked. Bunny just laughed in response, then led her in. "Of course Hotaru- chan...Hmm, I bet the outers already know that I'm back." Bunny said, sat on the couch. "Hai...This house is amazing Bunny." Hotaru said, with her eyes twinkling, as she wandered around. "Arigatou Hotaru-chan....I'm preparing this house for their arrival." She said. "When are they coming?" Hotaru asked, as she flopped down on a bean bag. "Soon enough...I don't know the exact date of their arrival. Gomen ne!" Bunny apologized sheepishly. Hotaru laughed out loud, then stood up. "You haven't changed a bit." "You think so?" Bunny asked. ''Yeah, absolutely...you never did change. Your sister was the same as you. But she has changed, for the better." Hotaru replied. "Really? Oh Hotaru-chan...I can't believe it! After all these years, I finally saw her. She really is a beauty. She's so exquisite! So kind, so generous, friendly, and...and..." Bunny trailed off, then sighed dreamily. "Geez! Snap out of it Bunny. Besides, you have to restrain yourself...they can't find out yet." Hotaru warned. "Yeah, you don't have to remind me about that." She said, then stood up. Bunny went into the kitchen, followed by Hotaru. "Watcha doing Bunny-chan?" she asked. "Well, I just baked some brownies. Hope you'll like them..." Bunny said. "Really? Let's see if yours is better that your 2***'s cooking." Hotaru teased, then took a bite. "Um...so, Is mine better? or much worse?" Bunny asked, a little nervous from Hotaru's still expression. "Shimatta! Bunny- chan, it's delicious!!!" Hotaru squealed in delight, then grabbed another piece of brownie, and devoured it. Bunny just sweat dropped, and laughed heartily, at the sight. Later that afternoon, Hotaru peeked in Bunny's room, then sighed when she saw her crying. "Daijobu ka Bunny-chan?" she asked softly. "Hai...demo, I miss my E&$@m^...I miss him so much." She broke down to tears, once more. Hotaru sat on the bed, then hugged her for comfort. "Demo, He's already with..." Hotaru trailed off. "I know! and I'm blaming myself for that. If only I was beside him." Bunny said in a muffled voice. Hotaru shook her head, then did her best to comfort her friend. "Do you want me to stay here with you?'' she asked. "If it's okay..." Bunny replied. "I'll just call, and inform my parents." Hotaru said, then picked up the phone, on the night table, beside the lamp. She dialed some numbers, then waited for anyone to answer the phone. When someone did answer..."Moshi-moshi, Setsuna-Mama, I'll be staying at Bunny's house for the evening. But I'll be home early...Hai, I understand. Arigatou...Ja!" She exclaimed, then hanged down. "Good news! Setsuna-mama, agreed!" A very excited Hotaru said, as she sat beside Bunny. "Thanks for the comfort Hota-chan. I really appreciate it." "Nah, it's nothing!" Hotaru replied childishly. "Now c'mon Bunny-chan, let's watch some home movies." She suggested. "Sure!" Bunny replied, then rushed down the stairs, to out run a giggling Hotaru. "Race you Bunny!" she exclaimed, with a giggle. "Ha! No one can out race me!" she exclaimed, then ran after her.
In a far away Dimension, a huge palace stood grandly. It's brick walls were covered with black vines, which serves as a barrier. Black thunder crashed down and hovered over the castle, while dark clouds covered the entire sky. A woman, dressed in black and silver gown, sat on her throne. Her long nails were painted in black, and her skin was wrinkled from age. Though she may be old, her beauty is still visible, especially when her white streaked, black hair is up in a tight bun. "Irene! Irene! Irene!" she called out angrily, which echoed through the castle walls. "You called me your Majesty?" A young lady with light blonde hair, and a pair of jade green eyes appeared. She was wearing a Venus-cut white sundress with a flute, attached to the dress' waistband. "Irene, have you found the twins?" the woman asked. "I'm sorry Queen Aaliyah, but I haven't found them yet." Irene replied. "I'm getting Impatient with this Irene. Tell me if you can't do it, then I'll send Natalia instead." Aaliyah said, in a very cold tone. "Don't worry you're Majesty, I'll try my luck in the planet called Earth. I've heard many stories about that planet. I even heard that several sailor Senshi are protecting that planet." Irene said, with her head bowed down in shame. "Are you telling me that the Legendary universal twins are there?" Aaliyah asked. "Probably your Majesty, I'm not yet sure." Irene replied. "Well then, find them and bring them back to me." Aaliyah said. Irene stood straight, and was about to leave, when Aaliyah said something in addition. "Bring them back Irene...Dead or Alive." Thunder crashed down, as Aaliyah laughed evilly.
Back at Earth, the girls were playing, and teasing each other as they walk through the park. "Oi... hahaha...Bunny...s...stop tickling!" Usagi exclaimed, as she tried to escape, from Bunny's grasp. "Iie! not unless you tell me, that you'll be my partner in our physics project!" Bunny said, while tickling a very breathless Usagi....mercilessly. "Yes! Yes! Yes! Hahaha! Yes!!!" Usagi nearly screamed out. She was still laughing hard, even though Bunny already stop tickling. She held her sides, for she felt some pain...cause she laughed heartily, for over an hour. The other girls, just stood on one side, watching them with smiles on their faces. "They get along well don't they?" Makoto asked. "Hai...they do. Strange, but they seemed to be connected." Minako mused, as she watch the two *odango* headed girls, play around like kids. "Connected like they're twins?" Ami asked. "Yeah...kinda like that." Minako replied, while wrinkling her nose. "Demo, Usagi-chan is an only child isn't she? So there's no way, that Usagi is a twin." Makoto said, as she drape an arm across Ami's shoulder. "So, I suggest that you drop that silly thought." she added. "I guess so..." Ami finally said, in defeat. "Minna!" Usagi exclaimed, as she ran up to them, followed by Bunny. "What's the fuss Usa-chan?" Minako asked. "Bunny is treating us at Crown." Usagi said, with a wide grin. "Honto ni?!" Makoto asked, with her eyes twinkling. Bunny giggled at the sight, then nodded a yes. "Well, then...let's go!" Ami exclaimed, then ran ahead of them. Everyone sweat dropped, then laughed as they followed, their blue-haired friend. Unfortunately, they never arrived at Crown parlor, for a Youma appeared before them. It was like a huge bull, with large horns, and walks on it's hind legs. "Where are the twins?!" He asked, in a loud growl. The girls nearly lost their balance, for the Youma's growl was so intense, that it almost threw them away. "Won't they stop coming in our planet?!" Minako asked, quite pissed off, for a new enemy appeared. "I guess they won't." Usagi said. "Let's transform..." she added, before saying her transformation words. "Moon eternal...make up!" The others followed their leader, including Bunny. "Crescent eternal make up!" After the transformation sequence, they stared at her in shock, for her Fuku was the exact duplicate of Eternal Sailor moon, except hers doesn't have huge wings. "Is there something wrong?" she asked. "Sort of...your Fuku...it's exactly like Sailor Moon's." Venus said. They were busily chatting about the identical fuku that they forgot about their mission. The youma, pissed off for being ignored, slowly inched his way, towards the Bishohojo Senshi, and attacked them with a blast of energy. "Baka!!!!!" Minako exclaimed angrily, for her legs got bruised, when they were thrown away. The others began to back out, then pulled a very confused Crescent, away from the raging Venus. "What's going on?" she asked. "Um...let's just say, that Mina- chan gets crazy when angry." Jupiter explained, in the most convenient way.
"Never ever mess up with a goddess!!!" Venus exclaimed angrily. At the very moment, she was enveloped with swirls of chains, shaped like heart. (Like when she is transforming.) She became nude once more, and her sign appeared on her forehead, replacing her tiara. "I swear, you'll regret that you came in this planet." She said icily, then the chains disappeared, leaving her in a new fuku. Slightly similar, to the sailor starlight's fuku. The cloth is exactly like Serenity's gown, with a gold X which seperates the top from skirt. Her flat stomach is exposed, and her...um asset can be visibly seen on her bra-like top. Of course, her ribbon's color changed as well...it turned into the lightest shade of orange, just like the color of her new fuku. Her gloves disappeared, including her shoes, leaving her with bare foot. A pair of wing, appeared on her back, in the shade of orange, in a darker shade. Though she won't be able to walk, for she doesn't have shoes, her new powers enabled her, to use the easiest method to fight...flying. The youma backed away from shock, and was about to escape. But he was eliminated instantly, by a huge blast of energy, coming from the new Sailor Venus. "Whoa! that was way too cool!" Sailor moon said, when she recovered from shock. The four of them ran to their friend, who was already calm at that time. "How on Earth did that happen?" Venus asked, for she as well was confused. "You just got your ultimate power Venus." Crescent suddenly spoke up, from her silence. "Do you know something Crescent?" Mercury asked. "Not really...I just knew that it was her ultimate form, for her sign appeared on her forehead, instead of her tiara." Crescent explained. "I see...so that means, we'll be regaining our powers soon." Mercury said, just confirming her thoughts. "Yeah...and it will only happen, if your emotions burst out. Either anger, happiness, sorrow or sadness." Crescent explained farther. "Okay, now everything's clear, can we detransformed now? Besides, I'm tired." Venus said, in a whine. "I guess we should all head home to rest." Mercury suggested. "Hai...besides, this battle has been a very weird, and exhausting battle." Jupiter said in agreement. So, the five of them detransformed, and head in their own separate ways. Usagi and Bunny were left in the park, for they have no intention, of going home early. "Oi Bunny, wanna come with me to our house? Mother is a delicious cook. You can stay there for dinner." Usagi suggested. "Sure! I'd be glad to." Bunny agreed with a smile. ' I just hope that, they still remember me. ' Bunny thought. "C'mon, I want to introduce you to my parents, before dinner." Usagi said, then dragged Bunny towards the Tsukino residence.
Ikuko was cooking dinner, when Usagi came home, using the back door. "You're just in time for dinner Usagi." she said, as she stir the contents of the pot. "Mother, I brought a friend for dinner." Usagi said, then kissed her mothers cheek. "Well, bring her to the living room. Dinner would be served in ten minutes." Ikuko said, then turned to face her daughter. "Shimatta!" she exclaimed, when she saw Usagi's friend. Bunny smiled knowingly, for Ikuko still remembered who she really is. "Is there something wrong mom?" Usagi asked. Instead of replying, Ikuko called out her husband. "Kenji! Kenji!" Usagi was beginning to worry, for her mother was yelling out her father's name frantically. "What's wrong?" He asked, catching his breath, for he ran when he heard his wife, calling out his name. "Kenji, she's here! She's back!" Ikuko said tearfully. "Oh my God...Bunny!" Kenji exclaimed with a gasp. "What's going on?" Usagi asked in confusion. "Sweetie, she's your twin." Ikuko said, with rears flowing out of her eyes. Later that evening, they were at the living room, explaining everything to the twins. "You see, when the both of you were still a year old, our old house was caught on a fire. We got you both out, but someone took your sister. We've searched for her everywhere, but failed. We didn't bother to tell you the truth Usagi. We never thought that she'd be back." Kenji said, while holding his weeping wife, close to him. "Onee-san..." Bunny threw her arms around Usagi, then cried. "So that's the reason why I feel close to you. Gods...I can't believe this." She said, then shed her own tears of Happiness. When Shingo came home, everything was explained to him as well. They all listened to Bunny, as she told them her story, from the orphanage, up to the rich family that adopted her. Everyone slept contentedly that night, for they found a lost member of the Tsukino family. After seventeen long years, their family is now complete. The twins stayed up until dawn, telling their experience, while eating their favorite dessert.... Chocolate ice cream, with melted marshmallows, on top.
"What?!" Shouted several voices. Everyone was at the Hikawa shrine to tell everyone the news. Though the outers knew, they just acted surprised, so they won't be obvious. "No way! How did this happen?!" Rei asked, hysterically. "C'mon guys, geez! all of you are over reacting. Besides, it's cool to have a twin." Usagi said, with a quirky grin. "Demo, how can this happen?! Usagi-chan is the only daughter of Kenji and Ikuko ne?" Makoto asked, as she stared at the odango-headed ladies in front of her. "We would answer that..." A voice said, from behind the door. "Who's that?" Rei asked, preparing to attack, the trespasser. A man and a woman slowly walked in the shrine. The man has a very long white hair, wearing white clothes as well. He's wearing a chain around his neck, with a crescent moon, as the pendant. The woman has a very long jet-black hair, with two odango's, and the rest of her hair, cascaded on her back, in waves and curls. She too, wears a chain and crescent moon pendant. Both of them have a crescent moon, on their forehead. "Luna? Artemis?" Usagi asked, with her eyes, wide in surprise. "Artemis?! What on Earth is happening here?! Setsuna!!!!" Minako exclaimed angrily. "Calm down Minako-chan. You will find out about everything...but not for now. Luna and Artemis will be using their original form, from now on. They'll be living at the Tenou mansion with us. Don't worry, for you'll get your full memories back." Setsuna said, then stood up. "Do not worry about anything..." she added, then left. The other three, followed her out in silence, and left four girls in trance. "This is a very weird day..." Rei muttered, as the Tsukino twins rolled in laughter. When everyone has accepted the truth, they went to Minako's concert.
The concert is a total success, even though it had just begun. Hours have passed by, but the concert is still in full swing. Spinning like gold threads, the beautiful teen idol did everything like magic. Her moves are exquisite, her body language delivered the song's message, her angelic voice can touch everyone's heart, no matter how cold-hearted he/she may be.
*You're with me 'till the bitter end, What we had transcend this experience too painful to...
Talk about, 'till my heart can mend and be brave enough to love again.
A place in time Still belongs to us Stays preserved In my mind In the memories There is solace...*
The girls watched in amazement, as Minako sang her new single. "You know, I think she's expressing some message in her song. A message filled with sadness, and a hint of heart brake." Bunny stated, as she watch Minako sing. "I agree..." Usagi said, in a quiet voice, so that no one would hear her. Unfortunately, Bunny can hear her, for there's a link between them, through their minds. ' What could she possibly mean? ' She asked to herself, then listened to Minako's singing, once more.
*oh Never too far away I won't let time erase one bit bit of yesterday no nobody can take your place and though we may never be I'll keep you close to me always remember....
Love....... You're never to far.....*
Minako finished the song, with a dramatic end, which caused a thunderous applause, from the audience. She took a bow, then smiled while waving a hand, to her screaming fans. "Arigatou minna, for coming here tonight. I really appreciate it. This song that I'll be singing, would be my last for this evening. I hope that you enjoyed, as much as I did." She said, then prepared to sing, her finale.
*Heart don't fail me now Courage don't desert me Don't look back now that we're here People always say Life is full of choices No one ever mentions fear Or how the world can seem so vast On a journey to the past...
Somewhere down this road I know someone's waiting Years of dreams just can't be wrong Arms will open wide I'll be safe and wanted Finally home where I belong Well starting now I'm learning fast On this journey to the past....
Home Love Family There was once a time I must've had them too Home Love Family I will never be complete Until I find you...
One step at a time One hope then another Who knows where this road may go Back to who I was I'm to find my future Things my heart still needs to know Yes, let this be your sign Let this road be mine Let it lead me to my past And bring me home at last...*
Everything went perfect, as expected. After the song, everyone rose to their feet, and clapped wildly, to express their joy, to her a very angelic voice. Minako nearly cried, when she saw everyone standing, and clapping as loud as they can, yelling her name in adoration, and cheering for her great performance. She bowed several times, then left the stage. She went to her dressing room, crying from joy and happiness. Large bouquet of flowers, and several gifts were in her dressing room, when she entered. Minako smiled, then sniffed the wonderful fragrance, of the flowers. She sat on the couch, then hugged her favorite pillow. ' This is what I've always wanted...' She thought happily, as tears of joy, streamed on her lovely face. She giggled softly, then wiped the tears away. ' I just wish that he was here...' she thought glumly, then fell to a deep slumber, from exhaustion. The girls came in the room, to congratulate her. But when they saw her sleeping, Ami went to fetch the driver, so that she can sleep on her own bed.
Bunny was brushing her teeth, when Usagi came in the room. "Bunny-chan, Arigatou for letting me stay here, for the night." Usagi said, then washed her face."Aw...itsh...nothing...beshidsh... Were...twinsh." She replied, still brushing her teeth, which made her sound, like a kid. Usagi giggled, then shook her head. "Oyasuminasai..." Usagi said, then left. After brushing her teeth, she took a quick shower, then got dressed. She went to the guest room, which was located on the other side, of Bunny's room. "Onee-san, what're you doing?" she asked curiously, when she saw Usagi, writing. Getting no response, for Usagi was a very serious worker, Bunny walked towards the desk lamp, for her twin wasn't writing...she was drawing. A familiar drawing of a man, with long jet-black hair, tied in a ponytail. "Sugoi..." Bunny breathed, when she saw how talented Usagi is. "Onee-san, that's a masterpiece!" she exclaimed happily, which surprised her twin. "Are you trying to kill me?!" Usagi asked, while holding her chest, as her breathing returned to normal. "Iie, I was just trying to tell you, how beautiful you draw." Bunny murmured, then grabbed her sister's drawing. "Hey give it back!" Usagi yelled, while blushing. "No way! you should show these, to the other girls." "Um...probably next time..." Usagi replied, her face still red. "By the way, who is this guy? He's so handsome...is he your boyfriend?" Bunny asked. She watched in amusement, as Usagi's face turned crimson. "h...he's just a good friend of mine. He's name is Seiya, a former teen idol. My boyfriend is studying in America...his name is Mamoru Chiba." Usagi replied. "Really? But from the look of things, I think you're in love with Seiya, and not with Mamoru." Bunny stated, which caught her twin's, full attention. "I was right...you are in love with him." She said, when she saw the sad expression, from her twin's face. "Hai...I never realized it, until he was gone." Usagi replied, as tears trickled down on her face. Bunny just sighed, but smiled inwardly, while hugging her twin, for comfort. "Don't worry Onee-san, I know that everything would be fine." Bunny said, to comfort her sister. Usagi straightened up, then wiped her tears. "Arigatou for the advice, I just hope that it would come true." "It will, my dear twin. You just have to pray for it." Bunny said, then winked at her, before leaving the room to sleep. Usagi shook her head with a laugh, then she stood up, to get the blanket, from the closet. Both of them slept peacefully, knowing that they're now complete.
The next day, Usagi was walking towards crown, when she bumped into someone. "Geez Usako, you never did change." A deep voice said. She looked up, and gasped when she saw who the guy was. "M...Mamo-chan?" The man smiled, as he helped her stand up. "Hai...I was going to surprise you. But I guess you found me." He said, then gave her a kiss...short, but sweet. "W..When d..did you arrive?" She asked in stutter. "This morning...I graduated two weeks ago, so now I'm a licensed doctor, at the Tenth secondary general hospital." He replied, with a proud smile. "Really? It's great! I'm happy for you!" She said, with less enthusiasm, than usual. Mamoru noticed this, but didn't say anything. "C'mon Mamo-chan, let's go to the park so we can talk." Usagi suggested. "Sure...lead the way princess." He said, and then placed an arm, around her waist. ' I have to tell him...' she thought, as they walked towards Juuban Park. The couple sat down on the grass, facing the lake. The sun was already setting, and the scenario was beautiful. "What do you want to talk about?" He asked. They were sitting side by side; Usagi's arms were wrapped around her knees, while Mamoru's legs were outstretched, with both arms supporting the weight of his body. "Mamoru, I've been thinking..." She began. Usagi knew that he'll be surprised, when he would hear her, calling him Mamoru. She took a deep breath, then began to speak, without even looking at the man beside her. "I was thinking, that we should break up. It's been a long time, I still love you, but not as a lover, but as a friend." After her short speech, she turned to look at Mamoru. To her surprise, he was smiling. "Actually, I've been thinking about that as well. We've been distant to each other, and I can tell that you love him." He said, with a grin. "What are you talking about?" She asked. "Seiya...you love him right?" Usagi blushed crimson, then nodded. "I was right then...Usagi-chan, even if were not lovers anymore, we can still be the best of friends ne?" Usagi smiled, then wiped a stray tear. "Always..." she replied, then hugged him tight.
Meanwhile, Irene was still pissed off, for her mission was interrupted. "I'll get those Sailor Soldiers, even if it takes me eternity, to do so!" She exclaimed angrily, to release the tension, on her mind. She pulled out a card, then threw it up on the air. It slowly came down, to her eye level. "Go my faithful servant, find the Universal twins!" she said, then played her flute. Suddenly, a Youma, which looks like a humanoid crab, came out of the card. "Cancer, at your service..." The Youma said. "Go and find them...I won't tolerate failures, like what Tauro did." She said, then waved her hand, to send cancer on Earth...
Back at Earth, Mamoru was walking towards his apartment, when he collided into someone. "Ugh...Usagi-chan, I can't believe you still haven't changed!" He muttered, as he helped a woman with blonde hair, in two buns. "Whoa! Cool hairdo Usagi-chan." Mamoru commented. "Demo...you still have the odango." he added with mock, while squishing one of her odangos. "Excuse me mister, but I'm not Usagi. I'm her twin sister...Bunny." The girl said, with a tint blush, across her face. "T...t...twin?!" Mamoru stuttered in shock. He stared at her, then placed a hand on his forehead. "Shimatta..." He stated, and then fainted. Luckily, Bunny caught him in time. "Geez..." she muttered, then dragged a very unconscious Mamoru, towards her car. During the drive, Mamoru woke up. "Where am I?" He asked. "You're in my car, and I'm bringing you home. Just tell me where you live." She said, as she concentrated on driving. "So Usagi is a twin..." he stated, then looked at her in amazement. "Hai...we just found out, a few days ago." Bunny replied, and then stopped the car, in front of a huge mansion. "Hey is that your house?" Mamoru asked in amazement. "Yep! If I'm not mistaken, you're Chiba Mamoru." "Hai...how did you know?" He asked. "Just a wild guess." Bunny replied, as she got out of the car. Mamoru followed, and they went in the house together. Bunny led him to the living room. "Feel yourself at home. I'll prepare some snacks." She said, then left the room. When she returned, she was carrying a tray, filled with mouth-watering pastries, and two cans of soda. "So, where have you been all these years?" Mamoru asked, when she sat down. "I was adopted by a rich family, who lives in America. They were nice to me, and they treated me like I'm their own. They even admitted that I was adopted, and that my real parents lives somewhere in Japan. So I went here, and met my real family" Bunny explained, then drank her soda. "What happened anyway? How did you..." He started, but was cut off by Bunny. "Our house caught on fire, when I was a kid. I was with Usagi-chan, but someone took me. Right after the incident, I had amnesia, for I fell on a cliff, when I escaped from the man, who kidnapped me. Then, a nun found me, and took me to the orphanage." Bunny replied, then wiped a stray tear. Mamoru went to her side, then placed a comforting hand on hers. "Hey, it's okay to cry. I know the feeling, of being away from my family. I am an orphan myself, and I've had amnesia. My parents died, in a car accident, I was in the car as well, but my mother protected me. That's why I'm here." Mamoru said, which surprised Bunny. "My God...I never expected..." She trailed off. Bunny hugged him, as he cried in her arms. "You're the second person, whom I've opened up like this..." He said, through muffled sobs. "Usagi- chan was the first ne?" Bunny asked. "Hai..." Mamoru replied, then straightened himself up. "Arigatou Bunny-chan..." He said. "But I have to go home now." He added. "Alright, I'll walk you outside." she said, then stood up. "Thanks for the snacks, and comfort." Mamoru said, as he stepped out of the house. "It was nothing..." Bunny said, then smiled. "So I'll just see you sometime?" "Yeah..." she replied, then closed the door. Moments later, she slowly slid down, with a dreamy sigh. "Oh God...I can't possibly fall in love, with my sister's boyfriend." She said in trance.
