I have edited the story so that you all can understand. I have changed all
the Japanese words to English except for the most basic ones like senshi or
henshin. Thank you for all the reviews.

"I'll never forget you, Odango." He had said before he had left earth. Usagi looked at the sky. The stars were so beautiful. A tear went down her cheek.
"I won't forget you either, Seiya-kun." She whispered to the stars.
"Usa?" she heard Mamoru. She wiped her cheek and turned around with a smile on her face, revealing nothing but happiness.

10:33 PM, Thursday
"Is Hotaru asleep?" Haruka asked Michiru as she sat down on the couch with popcorn.
"Yeah," Michiru said, "But she was having bad dreams again."
"About what?" Haruka asked as she popped a movie into the VHS.
"She wouldn't say," Michiru replied, "What movie?"
"Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla," Haruka grinned.
"Yuck," Michiru commented but she didn't leave, just sat there and closed her eyes.
"Tired?" Haruka asked, "How was the practice for the concert?"
"The concert with the star lights was easier compared to today!" Michiru replied. Haruka put her arm around Michiru and nuzzled her cheek through her long hair. The doorbell rang.
"Who could it be at this hour?" Michiru got up but Haruka stopped her.
"Let me see." Haruka said and went to the door. She opened the door to find Minako and Usagi, only Usagi was sobbing and Minako was holding her.
"What..." Haruka said.
"I didn't know where else to go." Minako explained, "Rei-chan and Ami-chan went to Mako-chan's tournament at the mountains." Haruka supported Usagi and brought her inside where Michiru stood. Usagi sat on the couch, sobbing like crazy.
"What is wrong?" Michiru asked Minako. Usagi answered instead.
"That selfish idiot!" she gasped, "I can't believe I ever thought I loved him!"
"Who?" Haruka asked.
"Mamoru" Minako spat, without adding the san, "He broke her heart, right on the phone!"
"What?" Haruka and Michiru both said.
"He called my house. Usagi was staying over tonight and he calls her and tells her that he is leaving her. For another girl." Minako explained.
"How terrible..." Michiru said.
"Don't worry Usagi-chan," Haruka said, "He will come back..." she was cut off by Usagi.
"I don't care if he comes back or not!" Usagi yelled, "I have done so much gave up so much for our future and he ends it with one call! Everyone has made so many sacrifices for our future and he goes and throws it away in the trash!"
"What are you saying?" Michiru asked.
"I am saying that I am Tsukino Usagi. The shadow of Princess Serenity was born inside me!" she cried harder, "Tsukino Usagi was supposed to live up to her dreams, but she became a shadow instead, a shadow of Princess Serenity. Well I've had enough! No more Princess Serenity! Now I will live and I will follow my dreams and they will not include Crystal Tokyo or Chiba Mamoru or Sailor Moon or." she broke down, "Or Chibi-Usa."
"Oh, Usagi-chan!" Minako sat down next to her and gave her a half hug. Haruka and Michiru just stood there.
"If that is what you want, I won't stop you." Michiru said. Haruka stared at her dumbfounded.
"Yeah, Usagi-chan," Minako said, "I am your friend and I will support whatever decision you make. If you say no more senshi, it will be no more senshi."
"I understand," Haruka said after a moment of silence. Michiru looked at her, Minako sighed. After a while Usagi stopped crying.
"Let's go, Usagi-chan." Minako said, "Bye." Usagi got up with her. She had a blank expression on.
"Do you need a ride?" Haruka asked.
"It's ok, I brought my car." Minako told her, "Thanks." Minako stayed back while Usagi walked out the door, "You will watch out for her, right?" she asked them.
"Yes," Michiru said and Haruka nodded. She left.
"That was..." Haruka started.
"Crazy, weird, bad, wrong, what?" Michiru asked.
"I don't know," Haruka said. Michiru sighed and sat down, followed by Haruka. Haruka put her arm around the distressed girl and hugged her. They heard a scream.
"Hotaru!" Michiru said and they both got up and ran to her room. Hotaru sat in the room, wrapped in her blanket. When Michiru entered, she looked up. Her face was pale and her lips blue, as if she was cold.
"Hotaru!" Haruka and Michiru sat on each side of her, "What's wrong?"
"She's coming!" Hotaru said in a trembling voice, "She is here!"
"Who is here?" Haruka asked holding Hotaru.
"I don't know..." she cried onto Haruka shirt then she fainted.
"That was no dream...it was a reality." Michiru said, her eyes wide, "I felt something too."

10:59 PM, Thursday
Two crows flew into a room and landed on the floor next to a sleeping figure with dark hair. The sleeping girl suddenly woke up, breathing hard. She looked at the crows.
"Phobos, Deimos..." Rei whispered, "What are you doing here? Did you feel that too?" The crows stared at her, silently.
"Someone evil..." she whispered. The crows flew away. A girl with blue hair moved.
"What's wrong Rei-chan?" she asked.
"Nothing, Ami-chan, nothing." Ami went back to sleep and Rei lay down, trying to remember what she actually felt.
***************************************************
1:22 PM, Friday
"You what?" Taiki stared at Seiya.
"You heard me." Seiya smiled.
"I can't believe they are letting us go." Yaten said. He was sitting on a couch looking up at the ceiling. Taiki was holding a book. Seiya was smiling.
"Insane," Taiki commented, "You are insane! Why do you care for her so much when she discarded you like a..."
"Shut up!" Seiya said, "As long as she is happy, it doesn't matter. Anyway, we'll leave tomorrow. So get ready, k?"
"You idiot," Yaten told him.
"Pardon?" Seiya looked at him, "You got a problem?"
"You know what my problem is." Yaten said.
"Anyway..." Seiya said, "There are certain restrictions though. We can't transform anymore."
"I see." Taiki said, "So Yaten, are you going?"
"Yes, I guess so."
"Ok, then, it's settled!" Seiya said, "I am going to go see Kakyuu-hime and tell her we are going. See you, guys!" and with that he left the room.
*************************************************
1:24 PM, Saturday
Makoto got ready so she could go and pick up the others. She looked at herself in the mirror. She was worried about Usagi. Minako told her what had happened and all of the sudden Usagi wanted to go on a picnic. She sighed and looked at the Henshin pen in her hand. She respected Usagi's decision so she put it away in the closet.
1:26 PM, Saturday
Ami sat cross-legged on the floor. She closed the book that was open in front of her, sighed and got up. Luna watched her. Ami went to her bedside table and took the Henshin pen. She stared at it for a minute, then tossed it in a bag and placed the bag under her bed.
1:45 PM, Saturday
Minako looked at Artemis and sighed. She took her Henshin pen and gave it to him.
"Here you go," she said.
"Mina..." he said.
"I told Usagi-chan that there would be no more senshi, so there." She said and left the room
"Goodbye, senshi of love." She whispered before she left the house.
2:00 PM, Saturday
Rei looked into the fire. A horn sounded outside. She knew Makoto was here. She sighed and got up. Phobos and Deimos landed on each of her shoulders. Phobos had her Henshin pen in his beak.
"I don't want it anymore, Phobos." She told the crow. They stared at her silently, and flew away.
2:15 PM, Saturday
Usagi changed into a pair of overalls. School would start in a couple of weeks and she wanted to enjoy her self. She looked at her dressing table and saw her Henshin compact. She took it and put it inside a drawer. Then she took a deep breath and smiled. It was a new day for her.
*************************************************************
2:30 PM, Saturday
Haruka picked up the newspaper and sipped a glass of juice. Her eyes went wide and she almost spitted her juice out. She read the headline again just to make sure. They still said the same thing:
THE STARLIGHTS RETURN: The famous trio arrived to Tokyo this morning from America.
"Michiru!" she called. She went to the kitchen where Michiru was sweeping.
"Something wrong?" Michiru asked with a smile.
"Look, here." Haruka handed her the newspaper. Michiru's eyes went wide as she looked at the paper.
"Well, that's something, don't you think?" Michiru asked handing the newspaper back. Haruka narrowed her eyes.
"It's suspicious," she said, "He comes back yet again at a time when she needs someone to hold her." Michiru nodded.
"You still don't trust them, do you?" Michiru asked Haruka.
"No." Haruka replied, bitterness in her voice. "I don't think I ever will."
