Author Notes – Okay I'll have a short thing here and then it'll be long at the end. ^^;; New chapters up. Yay! Now, what I have to do. *grimaces*
Disclaimer – Do you see a wealthy manga author in front of you? No, I think not, so, I don't own this stuff. I do own my seven made up characters and King Gaea though.

Sailor Moon P: Return of the Past
Chapter Two: Small Miracles
A figure stood in the dark watching the battle. A frown was the only part of the face showing, for a hood hid the rest. A cloak covered the body, but anyone could tell the figure was female. She moved her hand from its resting place at her side and touched her lips, a red color, and muttered a few words, forgotten by the earthlings long ago. Though, the words roughly translated to: Moon protect your child and heir, I beg of you.
The figure then gazed up at the moon and white ball in the sky as it brightened a fraction at the call and came from behind the clouds that had earlier hid it. She then whispered, "Take care of her, I can't lose her." Cloak billowing out at the ankles, she left the hiding point and allowed the moon to do the rest.
~*~*~
Sailor Moon, Usagi, Princess Serenity of the White Moon, heir to the Moon Kingdom, future Neo-Queen Serenity, Lover of Endymion/Mamoru, future mother to Small Lady Serenity Usagi Chiba, and future Sailor Cosmos watched as the green, the usual symbol of life, arrow fly straight at her chest. She could not move for some odd reason and time seemed to slow. She watched as her senshi's eyes widen in shock, as their leader was about to die. She was Tuxedo Karmen run at her, as though to save her or reach in order to pull her away, but alas, he was too far away. Blue eyes watched as the green haired woman laughed manically.
She would probably receive an award from the new evil for killing the most powerful and noble senshi in the universe.
Sailor Moon watched as the symbol of her senshi status began to shine brighter than the woman had ever seen in this lifetime. A hum brought her eyes back to the earth. The arrow was a second away from her chest, and the princess readied herself of the impact.
That never came. She opened an ocean blue eye and was startled at the sight of a silver force field that surrounded her, it looked to be moonbeams, but that was impossible, wasn't it?
She touched the silvery shield and felt its magic, moon magic. Glancing up at the moon, Sailor Moon began to worry.
What's going on? I thought the moon was dead. Its energy died with my mother, but now, it shines as brightly as it did all those years ago. I might need to return to my home. It might prove to show some clues later.
With her nerves set at rest, Sailor Moon turned to her opponent, who has blanched at the calm face of the Princess of the Moon Kingdom. "I'm not so easy to get rid of, you must know," She stated.
The youkai recovered her composure and growled, "Like you can beat me, moon twit."
Sighing, Sailor Moon held up her scepter, that she had recovered moments earlier, "Why must you always take the hard way out? Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!"
The female youkai was surrounded by a white light and disintegrated. The other senshi and Tuxedo Karmen ran to her.
"What the heck are you trying to pull Moon? Are you just trying to give us heart attacks," Sailor Mars ranted, though everyone could see the concern that her dark eyes held.
"Iie," was the distant reply. Sailor Moon was staring at the moon again, and Tuxedo Karmen took her smaller hand in his and whispered, "What is it, my love?"
The senshi watched the display before them with baited breath. They all wondered what was going on, and Usagi was not one to act mysterious, nor hold back information from them. Or the earth prince, especially not him.
Instead of answer the question, Sailor Moon turned to the senshi and her lover, "I need to visit the moon. My home, the Moon Palace. You may come if you want."
The senshi nodded in unison and Tuxedo Karmen spoke for everyone, "Hai, we would like to come along, Usako."
Smiling at the pet name and for the support of the others, she made her way to the middle to a newly formed circle and took Tuxedo Karmen's hand. Each senshi took the hand of the one next to her, and each glowed her respected planetary color. Sailor Moon glowed white as Tuxedo Karmen glowed a light green. Then, they were engulfed in a white light and teleported to the moon.
~*~*~
The moon lay out before the princesses and prince. Each was amazed at the transition it had taken since the last time they had visited which had been well over three years ago, after the battle with Chaos. The moon now glowed as it had long ago and the Moon Palace had a glow it hadn't had in years. It was not a surprise the palace was standing. No, it had been rebuilt after the battle with Beryl, somehow, but Sailor Moon now worried about how it had come about. She sifted, unknowingly, to her princess garb.
Her hair was no longer blonde, it was purely silver and was in the royal style of the moon, two circles on the side of the head about the size of ones fist. Her white dress hugged her curves and shows a bit of cleavage. One thing was different though, her wings stayed. They were at their far length and seemed to be tinted silver in the moonlight.
Serenity, princess of the castle, briskly entered the castle, followed by her court and lover, all garbed in their royal attire as they had also sifted as soon as their princess had. They did believe that the Moon Kingdom, though long forgotten was a secure area.
The halls were familiar enough and Serenity led them to the Prayer Room where she immediately fell to her knees with clasped hands and began to pray before the tall crystal aloud.
"Dear Selene, it has been years since I have come for guidance, and for that I wish repentance. I have come before you as a humble woman who seeks the guidance of her mother who is no longer with us. May I, by your grace, speak with her to seek her wisdom upon the matter before me, for I know no other place to find, for I am the last of my race."
A strong amount of moon magic was gathered before the group and began to take a shape of a woman by the figure. With a burst of white light, Queen Selenity stood before them smiling in a sad sort of way. "I had wished you would not try this, my daughter," she sighed, "But you have your father's mind as well as looks."
Princess Serenity smiled, "Ah, but who takes after you, a sister I do not know of?" The banter had been used long ago, when both had been alive in the Silver Millennium and the congregated company smiled warmly at the familiarity of the situation.
The Queen opened her mouth but shut it immediately, then opened it again, "Why have you called me? You know this type of magic takes much from the moon, prayer crystal and the one who prayed my dear daughter. I do hope my teachings are something you have not forgotten."
Serenity frowned momentarily at the odd behavior of her mother, but then replied, "Iie, I did not mother. Many things have caused me to come to you. One of which is the moon's energy. It has returned stronger than ever, which is a change since the Queen has not returned, for I am only a princess and shall be Queen of Crystal Tokyo and the Earth, not the Moon."
Selenity's eyebrows rose, "Or if the heir has reached out to her sibling. This is an unexpected turn of events, even for her. She would never disobey…" She trailed off, thoughtfully.
"Who, my queen?" Haruka questioned, and odd look on her face. It was as though she was trying to remember something that kept eluding her.
Surprisingly, it was not the Queen who answered but Hotaru. "Someone you shall meet in time," she stated with a mysterious tone of voice, "Someone I remember quiet well, surprisingly, my queen."
Selenity's eyes widened, "Iie… You shouldn't, but then, the circumstances provided…"
The princess of Mercury to the older princess of Pluto, "Who is she speaking of, Setsuna?" The question lingered in the air for a while before a response came.
"I do not know, which is quite odd, for this topic seems familiar…" she turned her red gaze questionably to Queen Selenity.
"As the young princess of Saturn said," Selenity began, "You shall meet that person in time or not at all, she is dead I believe. The Moon's Magic is returning because of the energy's source has become stronger. There is more I believe."
Serenity nodded, "That explains the shield of moon beams. Also, we have a new enemy. I though there would be peace until Crystal Tokyo's birth, or is that true?"
Selenity sighed, "There will never be peace in the universe. Small times, yes, but never long periods. There is darkness to everything light, Ying and yang, good and bad, and also light and darkness. Chaos is not gone. He was dormant for a while, but he has come back, in a new form. Remember he is manipulative and do whatever he can to defeat you my dear daughter. Take care of yourself. I will love you forever and always." With a kiss on her daughter's cheek, she blinked away her tears that threatened to fall, "Your father loves you also."
She turned to Prince Endymion, "I agree with the union between you two. Do not stray from love, yours is the purest I have ever seen. My son-in-spirit take care of her. Your parents are quite proud, both sets of them and wish me to tell them that they have always loved you and wait to see you when you have died from old age. And if you're any earlier, you fathers said they would give you the longest lecture ever. Trust me, your father, King Gaea, gives long lectures." She kissed his forehead.
She then turned to the senshi and smiled, pride showing, "I thank you for protecting my daughter and working toward the Crystal Millennium your parents are quite proud, I do believe. They love you dear princesses. But do not forget love and your own lives. I do not wish for you to neglect yourself to watch over yourselves and not plan your own futures."
The Queen then gasped and began to pull at the streams of magic flowing around her. Her blue eyes widened in shock and spoke quickly, "Serenity, the source of the magic is beginning to fade. You must leave soon. I will leave as soon as you teleport out, please hurry."
The princess nodded and murmured a goodbye and took her friends hands before teleporting back to earth.
The former queen sighed in relief and sagged against the crystal. That had been close, for it was not the time to know, just yet.
The doors swung open to the room and seven figures entered the room. Seven different magically energies hummed with the same power level showing, one only shown when danger was near by, or at least thought so. Three females and four females rushed into the room, upon the sensing an unusual amount of moon magic being used and taken away from their leader.
The leader of the group turned to the lone figure standing in the room, surrounded by the others, who acted as guards. Her clear blue eyes widen with great sorrow, happiness and shock. She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. The other six were speechless as well.
"My baby," Queen Selenity gasped, "My bright star."
The leader could not control her emotions any longer and pushed past her stone like guards and ran toward the queen, stopping right before the older woman. "Mother? Are you real?" she cried out, "Don't let this be a dreams, please tell me that you are Okaa-san, please."
A sweet smile curved on Queen Selenity's face, but her eyes held traces of tears, "Hai, my sweet daughter, hai. Len, come here, please."
It was a wish the oldest princess of the white moon was more than ready to for fill, she launched into her mothers arms crying like a small child, but she did not care. All she cared about was being with her mother.
Oh dear Selene, please don't take her away from me again. I missed her so much. I love her too much to lose her again. Serenity misses her too; I know it. Just don't take her away, please….
"Now, my daughter we have much to discuss," Selenity smiled, "Like what I am to do now that you have reestablished me in the land of the living and awaking the other kingdoms."
Chapter End~Ok, the whole thing did not turn out like planned. Selenity, the queen isn't even supposed to be alive! But hey, might as well twist the story and all fluffy moments, 'cause the next chapter is being typed and it isn't pretty. There is no cliffy, this chapter just ends this way. And more character development will ensue. Trust me. I would like to thank the reviewers, you made me continue the story and that took a lot of good notes from you guys. *hands out candy* And helped me have a good birthday, yup, it's today. ^-^ Today is a good day..
BoomBoomBaby – Sorry about not having more Rei, but the next chapter will, and I'm thinking about writing a idea all about Rei. I really love her character; she's strong, has a great personality, and is responsible. I love her manga character and anime character. Which says something b/c I abhor the anime, dubbed version. Also, I don't like fictions where *shivers* Gah. Thanks for supporting me!
C-town Chica – You like my new characters? Thanks! I'm trying to update every week, but finals are coming up and we cot this weird virus on our computers. This so sucks, and I can't seems to get some of the elements I want to get in, in the story. It's so annoying. Thanks again for your support!
