IMPORTANT: Usagi does not have to be henshined to use minor senshi powers. For their actual attacks, she does, but small things, like sparks or starting a fire or little squirts of water, etc. she doesn't.
Anyways, on to the story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yusuke walked back into the room and sat down on the couch. He was trying to mask his emotions, but Usagi had enough experience to tell that his cheerfulness from earlier was gone.
"So, Usagi, I guess we can head back to .... our house now." 'It sounds so wierd saying 'our house'' Yusuke thought. "Ok." Usagi said, trailing behind him.
**Back At The House**
Usagi went to their bedroom as soon as they got back. She felt around for a minute, searching for the dimension rip that was the opening of her subspace pocket. Slowly, she began to pull all her old things out of it. In her room, there was an extra twin bed, that looked like it had once been a fold-up bed for guests. There was also a dresser, a nightstand, a lamp, and a shelf, all in mahogany wood. The shelf had been put up right above the bed. If you were laying on your back in th bed, the bed was against a wall at the right and the nightstand was to the left. The dresser was also against the right wall. The nightstand was about the same height as the bed and had a flat top, one drawer with a lock, and a shelf-like opening at the bottom. The lamp was a deep red color, with a white shade and was sitting on top of the nightstand. The shade had what looked like little red flames dancing across the bottom inch, and red beads hanging an inch off the bottom, and it had red stars at the top. There was a plug behind the nightstand. The dresser had 2 rows of two narrow drawers at the tops. Then it had 4 longer, wider drawers at the bottom. There was a window in the middle of the room , and the door was at the left side of the room, on the wall opposite the window.
The first thing she grabbed was a group of picture frames, an old shoebox full of photos, and an empty photo album. She looked at the album sadly. It had been a gift from Setsuna for her 16th birthday. It was a beautiful leather covered book, with precious gems, one for each of the senshi, forming the shape of a cresent moon on it. Engraved at the top were the words 'A Picture's Worth a Thoussand Words' and at the bottom, it said 'Take A Picture, It'll Last Longer'. Well, first things first. She took the valuable gems off th cover and set them aside for now. Instead, she took out the jewels that had once been on the senshi's tiaras. She laid them out in the same design the gems had been in. Then, she used a small spark of fire to 'melt' each one into the leather covering. The picture frames, she discovered, had been a gift from Shingo. He had bought a "Limited Edition Sailor Senshi Picture Frame Set." 'How fitting.....' she thought detachedly. There were 14 in all, one for Sailor Moon, Chibi-Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Saturn, Star Healer, Star Fighter, Star Maker, and Tuxedo Kamen. Each picture frame was split vertically, in the middle, so it could hold two pictures. For the senshi (not including the stralights) the background was in their respective colors. On The top was them in their senshi form. On the bottom was their names (ie. Mercury, Mars, Moon, etc.), and on the left was them in their super forms, and at the right was them in their eternal forms. It really was a nice set. 'Shingo must have saved his allowance for weeks' Usagi thought, remembering how Chaos had killed him only a week before his own birthday (let's pretend). For the Starlights, the background was gray with gold shooting stars going across. At the bottom was their names, at the left, was a picture of them, and at the right was their winged microphones. For Tuxedo Kamen, the background was gold, and there was a picture of him at the left, and a red rose at the right. Then, there was one last frame. It was larger than teh rest and was a bright silver, with an amythest tint almost. It had roses engraved along the edges, and all the planetary symbols, and a cresent moon, engraved into it. 'It must have been something from teh Silver Millenium' Usagi thought, 'It looks way too expensive to have been mine from Earth.'
She took out all the pictures and dumped them on her bed. To put in the large silver frame, she found a picture of all her friends, dehenshined of course. It looked like she could just jump into the picture, because they were all having so much fun. She saw herself, hugging Mamoru's waist with one arm, and he had his arm around her. Chibi-Usa was in front of them with Mamoru's other arm on her shoulder. She was holding Chibi-Chibi up. Hotaru was on th other side of Chibi-Usa, with Michuru and Haruka behind her, each of them with an arm on her shoulder. Next to them was Setsuna. Kakyuu-hime was also there, right next to Setsuna. On her other side was Minako, flashing her famous V-sign. Rei was next to her, sticking her tongue out at Usagi. Ami was blushing because Taiki had his arm around her. Makoto was leaning back, laughing at the whole scene, and Yaten was next to her. Seiya was way off to the side, pouting because Mamoru was back from America. Looking at the group, Usagi almost started crying, because she knew she would never be able to make such deep bonds with friends ever again. "My senshi....." she whispered, trying to hold the tears. She knew they would want her to be happy again and get on with her life. In the set from Shingo, she put a picture of the senshion one side, and a picture f them dehenshined on the other side. The rest of the pictures, which were when they were senshi, civilians, in their princess/prince forms, even a few small paintings from th Silver Millenium, she putinto the photo album. She put the silver frame on her nightstand, the photo album in the drawer, and arranged the rest of the pictures on top of the dresser.
After that, she got out all her clothes and put them away in the right drawers. She also saved the top two drawers to put stuff in. In the locking drawer on her nightstand, she put the senshi's henshin sticks, and one of Mamo-chan's roses. She took out a small electric alarm clock/clock/radio and put it on the nightstand. The key to the drawer had been pushed under the bed, and she took it out and put it on her keyring, which also had a key to her new home, Chibi-Usa's miniature time key, and Setsuna's key to the Time Gates (shrunken down). She was about to fix the bed, but stopped when she saw her old pink comforter with rabbits on it. It just wasn't her anymore. Come to think of it, a lot of my clothes aren't me anymore either, I think I'll go shopping. Usagi's credit card had an unlimited amount of money on it. Must have something to do with the fact that she got it from the future. It had all her money on it. From the Silver Millenium, to what was supposed to be th Crystal Millenium, a bank account collected a lot of interest. Let's think. Millions of dollars, collecting interest for almost a 6,000 years was a lot of money.
As she walked out of her room, she saw the news was on. "And yesterday, in the freak accident in Juuban District, the worldwide singing sensation, the Starlights were killed. Apparently, they knew something like this would happen, for they left a video and a note for their manager. The note, which enclosed another note, told their manager that if for some reason they did not come back from their visit with anonamous friends in Juuban, he should air teh tape and have the note delivered to an addres in Juuban. The address, however was destroyed, and though oficials have been trying to unseal th envelope for hours on end, noone has managed. We are currently trying to find out who the letter was meant for, but our attemps have been- hold on a minute, this just in, we have found who teh note belongs to. We shall keep their name off air, but if the person who lived at 117 Sakura Lane would come to th tv station, I'm sure it is this person. Anyways, the video has not been watched yet, and should be watched in the presence of the note-reciever. So until they come here, I'm Wayne Dolano (lame name, can't think of anything) for chanel 5 news." Usagi stared at the television in shock.
"Hey Usagi, isn't that your old house?" Sarah questioned. "I wonder what the Starlights would have had to say to you? You didn't happen to know them, did you?" Sarah continued talking, but Usagi tuned it out. 'I thought I left all the senshi business behind. Why did this just come up now, why not before?' Usagi thought before she remebered that for earth, it had only been 1 day, not 5 like she had seen while trygin to rebuild parts of Juuban. "Why don't I get Yusuke to take you down to the station?" Sarah questioned. Usagi, who was still in a state of shock, called Yusuke. "Yusuke, take Usagi down to the tv station, would you?" Sarah said, as Yusuke came in, grumbling again. Usagi still hadn't said anything, and was staring to turn blue, seeing as she apparently forgot how to breath. "Usagi!!!" Yusuke yelled for the umpteenth time. "Come on."
As they started walkign through the park, Yusuke asked "So Usagi, how did you know the Starlights anyways?" "Very close, very old friends." she replied, the effects of shock wearing off. "Oh." Yusuke said when she didn't elaborate. "Well, here it is." he said. They walked in, and teh security gaurd stopped them. "What do you think you're doing? This is a restricted area. You can't be in here." "Yes we can. I'm Tsukino, Usagi. I'm the one who used to live at 117 Sakura Lane. The Starlights left something for me." "Oh really, well that's funny. You're the sixth person who used to live at 117 Sakura Lane. Let me see some id." Usagi handed him her learners permit from driver's ed., which doubled as her id. "Oh, come right this way, please." he said as he led the two of them down the hall and into an office. The Starlight's manager and the news crew will be here in a minute." "No news crew please, one person at most." Usagi stopped him and said in a regal voice. As soon asthe gaurd left the room, Yusuke said "What the hell was that?" "What was what?" Usagi asked back. "That, that, that way of talking, that just made the gaurd listen to you!" 'The way of talking that made you sound older than Youko.' Usagi just shrugged.
After a few minutes, two people came into the room. "Usagi-san, how nice it is to see you again. Do you know what any of this is about?" the manager asked Usagi. "You know him?" Yusuke asked incredulously. "Sort of, and yes." Usagi answered both questions at the same time.
*Ahem* the newsman coughed to get their attention. "Well, let's get around to thet letter, and the video." he said. Suddenly, he got pushed out of the room by Usagi.
"Anyways, the Starlights wanted mne to give you this letter. They said that if they didn't come back from the visit, Kakyuu would come get the letter and video, and if she didn't, then it was to go to you." the manager said as he gave Usagi the etter. "The only problem is that noone has been able to open it...." He trailed off as he saw her open it. She slowly began reading, and tears filled her eyes, overflowing and spillign to the floor. Yusuke looked on, wondering why she was crying. Even though she bothered him, he could tell there was more to her and he had a sort of grudging respect for her and wondered what woudl make her cry like this. As he watched, he coudl have sworn he saw her tears turn to crystals, but then they dissapeared before they hit the floor, just like Yukina. 'Strange, I must be imagining things.' he thought.
**Usagi's POV**
I miss them so much. Why couldn't they have lived?
Dear Usagi,
If you are reading this, then that probably means we're probably dead. We jsut wanted to say, we're sorry we failed to protect Kakyuu-hime, but at least we protected you. We have seen Chaos coming upon your planet for a few weeks now, and I'm sure the other senshi have sensed it too. We're leaving you the deed to our mansion. we fogured you could use it. All of the senshi's things were transported there by Kakyuu. We all knew we probably wouldn't make it. You're Cosmos now, huh. That's a big responsibility. In case you haven't noticed yet, we all pitche din and got a really neat laptop. It's super personalized, just for you. The inners and outers left you an e-amil. It basically says the same thing as this letter. By the way, ask our manager for our last concert outfits. They're in a box, as well as something else you might want. Didn't want people getting to suspiciuos, so we put it in the box with our microphones and henshin sticks. There is also a cd. It's just a soundtrack, but we figured you could put words to it. You have a great voice, and you always coudl help with our lyrics. Anyways, watch the video too. There's nothing that can't be seen by someone other than teh senshi, just incase they aired it or something. Ja ne Usa-chan.
~Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten
**End Usagi's POV**
Usagi crumpled up the letter. "Can I have the box with their last concert outfits, they left something there for me." she said to the manager. "Sure, hang on. It's right in my car." The manager left to get the box. "Usagi?" Yusuke questioned, feeling like he was missing something. "What?" she asked, wiping her eyes, even as more tears came out. "How did you knwo the Starlights?" he asked again. "We were very close frinds, all of us. Actually, Seiya used to have a crush on me." she gave a bitter laugh, "But they all died because of me." Yusuke was wondering what she could have meant. Just then, the manager came bustling back in, with a big box. "Here it sis. Now about that movie-" "I'll take it with me." Usagi said. "Okay. Well, at least let me give you two a ride home. That box is heavy." the manager said.
Once they got in and put their seatbelts on, they started going. Yuksuke told the man where to go, and then there was a tense silence in he car. "Usagi, I'm sorry about your loss. I know how close all of your friends were." the man gave a small laugh. "I couldn't believe when Seiya blew off that interview just to try to beat up your boyfriend at th airport when he was coming back from America. The funniest thing is, they went out to talk during lunch just the week before." At this, Usagi even gave a small giggle. Yusuke was totally lost by this point and just stayed quiet. 'Figures some manager guy knows her better than I do and she's my sister.' he thought.
Once again, they got back to the house. This time, both Usagi and Yusuke went into their room. Usagi went over to her bed and sat down. Opening the box, first she took out the video she had put on top and set it aside on the bed. Then, she took out the three concert outfits and laid them out to look at them. She folded them back up and put them in one of her dresser drawers. Beneath that was naother box. Taking it out, she put the big box on the floor. The whole time, Yusuke was watching curiously. Unlocking her nightstand drawer, she opened it. Yusuke, howevr, couldn't see inside. inside the box was a rose from each of them, which she carefully placed in the drawer. Next were their henshin sticks and their winged microphones. They had also gathered all of teh senshi's communicaters, and Mercury's computer which she had lent to Taiki. She put these in the drawer too. Then, was the deed to their mansion/house and the soundtrack they said they had made. She put the deed away and took out her laptop.
They must have spent a fortune on this, she thought. The outside was silver with an eight-pointed star on it. It also said her name across the bottom, in Lunarian. Opening it up, she saw the senshi's symbols lined up around the screen. They keyboard and all the writing on the it was in Lunarian so only she could read it. She started it up. As it turned on, she heard a sound from the open box next to her. Looking inside, she found her own computer and headset. The headset had a microphone and earbud and wings, just like the Starlights had. Except hers had silver wings to match her laptop and it had a small button on it that made a visor come up like Mercury's earing visor. The mini-computer was like Mercury's, except this one was silver adn had an eight-pointed star on top. The inside was completely Lunarian. As soon as she picked it up, it opened and a message popped up. This mini-comp is made for Cosmos. Cosmos, the headset/visor, mini-comp, and laptop are all connected. It said in Lunarian. She picked up the headset and put it on, but kept the visor off, and decided to put the mini-comp away for now. She put it in th top drawer of her dresser, which she had left empty. Turning around and going back to the bed, she sat down and started fiddling with the laptop. The desktop had a picture of the palace on the Moon Kingdom. Suddenly, a rabbit popped up from the bottom of th screen and said "You have mail Cosmos" in Lunarian. She clicked on the rabbit and her mail came up.

Didn't want people getting to suspiciuos, so we put it in the box with our microphones and henshin sticks. There is also a cd. It's just a soundtrack, but we figured you could put words to it. You have a great voice, and you always coudl help with our lyrics. Anyways, watch the video too. There's nothing that can't be seen by someone other than teh senshi, just incase they aired it or something. Ja ne Usa-chan.
~Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten
**End Usagi's POV**
Usagi crumpled up the letter. "Can I have the box with their last concert outfits, they left something there for me." she said to the manager. "Sure, hang on. It's right in my car." The manager left to get the box. "Usagi?" Yusuke questioned, feeling like he was missing something. "What?" she asked, wiping her eyes, even as more tears came out. "How did you knwo the Starlights?" he asked again. "We were very close frinds, all of us. Actually, Seiya used to have a crush on me." she gave a bitter laugh, "But they all died because of me." Yusuke was wondering what she could have meant. Just then, the manager came bustling back in, with a big box. "Here it sis. Now about that movie-" "I'll take it with me." Usagi said. "Okay. Well, at least let me give you two a ride home. That box is heavy." the manager said.
Once they got in and put their seatbelts on, they started going. Yuksuke told the man where to go, and then there was a tense silence in he car. "Usagi, I'm sorry about your loss. I know how close all of your friends were." the man gave a small laugh. "I couldn't believe when Seiya blew off that interview just to try to beat up your boyfriend at th airport when he was coming back from America. The funniest thing is, they went out to talk during lunch just the week before." At this, Usagi even gave a small giggle. Yusuke was totally lost by this point and just stayed quiet. 'Figures some manager guy knows her better than I do and she's my sister.' he thought.
Once again, they got back to the house. This time, both Usagi and Yusuke went into their room. Usagi went over to her bed and sat down. Opening the box, first she took out the video she had put on top and set it aside on the bed. Then, she took out the three concert outfits and laid them out to look at them. She folded them back up and put them in one of her dresser drawers. Beneath that was naother box. Taking it out, she put the big box on the floor. The whole time, Yusuke was watching curiously. Unlocking her nightstand drawer, she opened it. Yusuke, howevr, couldn't see inside. inside the box was a rose from each of them, which she carefully placed in the drawer. Next were their henshin sticks and their winged microphones. They had also gathered all of teh senshi's communicaters, and Mercury's computer which she had lent to Taiki. She put these in the drawer too. Then, was the deed to their mansion/house and the soundtrack they said they had made. She put the deed away and took out her laptop.
They must have spent a fortune on this, she thought. The outside was silver with an eight-pointed star on it. It also said her name across the bottom, in Lunarian. Opening it up, she saw the senshi's symbols lined up around the screen. They keyboard and all the writing on the it was in Lunarian so only she could read it. She started it up. As it turned on, she heard a sound from the open box next to her. Looking inside, she found her own computer and headset. The headset had a microphone and earbud and wings, just like the Starlights had. Except hers had silver wings to match her laptop and it had a small button on it that made a visor come up like Mercury's earing visor. The mini-computer was like Mercury's, except this one was silver adn had an eight-pointed star on top. The inside was completely Lunarian. As soon as she picked it up, it opened and a message popped up. This mini-comp is made for Cosmos. Cosmos, the headset/visor, mini-comp, and laptop are all connected. It said in Lunarian. She picked up the headset and put it on, but kept the visor off, and decided to put the mini-comp away for now. She put it in th top drawer of her dresser, which she had left empty. Turning around and going back to the bed, she sat down and started fiddling with the laptop. The desktop had a picture of the palace on the Moon Kingdom. Suddenly, a rabbit popped up from the bottom of th screen and said "You have mail Cosmos" in Lunarian. She clicked on the rabbit and her mail came up.
