Author's Note: I DO NOT own Sailor Moon!

"After The Rain Falls" Chapter 1

The oracle of Crystal Tokyo predicted that Tsukino Usagi would re- awaken as a Sailor Senshi once more on her sixteenth birthday, to protect her future self. Star-crossed lovers were fated to find everlasting happiness with each other after many lost encounters. The darkness is looming and the past will step forward to greet the future.

30th century Crystal Tokyo

Usagi stirred in her sleep, beads of sweat forming at her brow, she had seen these images before...a never-ending forest of extraordinary flora and fauna. Crystals growing from the ground reflected the multi-faceted colors the sky emitted, and the ground itself had a glassy sheen of brilliance to it. Why couldn't she remember more about it? In the center of the forest lay an enchanting white palace surrounded by the sparkling clear water...suddenly dark flashes of lightning shot from the sky. The sphere turned black and hazy, someone cried out to her...

"Happy Birthday!!!!!" the Asteroid Senshi exclaimed in unison.

Usagi screamed in terror after seeing a haunting image of just who was calling her name.

The Senshi jumped away from her canopy bed in surprise; "Look at how happy she is to see us! I told you guys it was a good idea!" Sailor Pallas energetically cried.

Sailor Juno lightly slapped the back of Pallas' head while saying, "Baaaaaka!" Sailor Pallas sniffled gingerly with small tears welling at the base of her eye.

"Usagi, what's the matter?" said Sailor Ceres with a worried look in her eyes.

"It's that same dream...the one with the crystal filled world." Usagi said, carefully avoiding exactly who had cried out to her.

The Senshi looked at each other, knowing exactly what this dream was about. "Well, I'm sure everything will be fine, that dream will go away eventually." Sailor Vesta said, unsure if she even believed herself.

"But it won't! It's trying to tell me something but I don't know what it is! It won't go away until I know!!" Usagi cried raising her voice.

She looked down in embarrassment and shifted the bed sheets between her hands, "I'm sorry...I shouldn't have raised my voice to you...it's just so...so...frustrating!" she said bitterly.

"Don't think anything of it Usagi-chan, we'll be here for you until the end of time." Sailor Juno winked and said.

Usagi nodded happily, "Thanks Guys."

"Try to hurry Princess-chan, the morning meal will begin soon, plus the Inner Senshi will be here as well." Sailor Pallas chirped. With that the four Asteroid soldiers left her chamber smiling warmly.

Once safely outside of her hall, the Asteroid Senshi sighed, "It's getting worse, we all know it...already part of the oracle's prophecy is coming true..." Sailor Vesta muttered.

"Soon she will have to leave on her journey, we will all be there for her, ready to sacrifice our life." Sailor Ceres said.

"Well, we'll see soon enough if that old woman's vision comes true, '...on the night of her sixteenth birthday the heir to the throne will begin her life-changing journey...'" Sailor Juno mimicked turning to face Sailor Pallas with a hollow look on her face.

"ACK! Quit it Juno!!! Ceres-chan HELP ME!" Sailor Pallas screamed, hiding behind Sailor Ceres.

Sailors Ceres patted Pallas on the head while scolding the unruly Juno.

Little did anyone know that the oracle's prophetic vision already started to come true the first time Usagi had her dream of Elysion.

Authors Note: Well!!?? What did you think? This is my first fanfiction EVER. So be nice! This will be a long story, so I hope you guys will stay with me through it all. Just so you know (if you didn't already) Usagi IS Chibi Usa. Chibi Usa was a nickname given to her by Usagi in Sailor Moon R. It is going to be a Comedy/Romance/Action/(maybe a lil' Sci-Fi ^_~) fic. This is NOT an alternate reality. Read and Review!
