Michiru soon came with Haruka at her heels. Haruka was handsome, with sandy short hair and beautiful crystal eyes. She was more masculine than feminine, and Usagi had a crush on Haruka when she first saw her, thinking that Haruka was a male. Usagi blushed at that memory. Michiru, on the other hand, had feminine beauty in every sense of the phrase. Her deep sea-blue hair held a shine to it that reminded one of open water. Her clear blue- green eyes had a depth to it, like the deepness of oceans. Her curvaceous body was perfectly formed. Today, Michiru wore a knee-length blue skirt that flared out flirtatiously and a tight blue blouse. Her thick, ravishing hair was pulled into a low bun, strands of it hanging around her face.
"So, Usagi," Michiru gave a small smile. She put a large chocolate cake on a plate and put it on the kitchen table. She had a kettle of tea, of which she poured into three cups. Usagi took hers, shivering from the wetness of her hair, and took a long sip. "Is everything alright?"
"I don't know," Usagi started crying. "I don't know what's wrong with me. They all left me. I don't have anyone left!"
"Oh, Usagi, don't say that. Here, blow your nose." Michiru handed Usagi a handkerchief, on which Usagi blew her nose on. "Start from the beginning."
"Ok. Well, last night, Mamoru and I had a date. And then, I left my purse in his room. And when I went back to get it, he was making out with another woman. I didn't get to see her face. She had raven hair, though. And then, I broke up with him!" With this, Usagi started to full-out bawl. Haruka went over to Usagi and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Are you serious?" Haruka was definitely angry. "He was CHEATING on you!! You just wait, Usagi, when I get my HANDS on THAT LITTLE PUNK..."
"No, Haruka, please, calm down. I don't want anyone getting hurt."
"Did anything else happen, Usagi?" Michiru was very quiet. When she was angry, she kept it inside herself, and Haruka tended to blow up.
"Yeah. And this morning, when I went to a 'scout meeting', it turned out that Minako, Makoto, Rei, and Ami wanted to kick me out. And so, my boyfriend AND my friends left me. "
"Damn them!" Haruka slammed the kitchen table with her fist. Tea splattered all over it. "How could they turn their backs on their future princess, the one they had sworn to protect?!?"
"Not only have they left you, Usagi, they have forsaken their bonds with the princess that will rule Crystal Tokyo. I hope you haven't given up your crystal to those narrow-minded fools. Or your powers as Sailor Moon." Michiru seethed with hatred and anger.
"No, I still have both. Look, Michiru-chan and Ruka-chan, I don't want to hurt them. Let them feel the pain they have caused me when I strip them of their powers as the Sailor Scouts of Mars, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter, and when I forbid them from my kingdom." Usagi played with a napkin and had her eyes downcast. She wasn't crying anymore, but her eyes held a deep hatred and sadness. "I wish them damnation in hell."
"Usagi, I swear by all of my powers that I will always protect you and be there for you," Hotaru entered the room slowly, offering her transformation pen to bond the oath. The senshi of death and destruction held loathing in her dark purple eyes. "What they have given up is their honor. And I hate people who do that. Princess, accept my oath to you, and I will forever be by your side."
"Princess, the guardian of Neptune also pleads to be by your side through hell and heaven, through darkness and light, and through hate and love. I swear by Neptune that I will forever be by your side, protecting you, and offering my friendship." Michiru bowed down on one knee and offered her transformation pen.
"Princess, the warrior of Uranus gives her life and honor to you, swearing to protect you through everything that stands in your path to your true destiny." Haruka bowed down on one knee as well, and Hotaru followed suit.
Usagi turned into Princess Serenity in a flash, her white, flowing gown glowing brightly with an unearthly light. Her gown was trimmed with gold, and she looked elegant and beautiful in it, her hair up in the traditional buns of the Moon Kingdom. Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru turned into Sailor Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn, respectively, in a flash of light.
"Your oaths are taken graciously," Princess Serenity's voice had a ringing one to it. It held authority, yet was musical. "Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn, you are hereby my royal subjects, first of thought when Tokyo turns into my imperial kingdom. I accept you as my protectors."
"Princess Serenity, your highness, we are pleased to be a part of your future kingdom. We have sworn to protect you, and will do so, until death may part us." The trio of Sailor Scouts spoke as one. They each kissed the Moon Princess' hand in turn. In another flash of light, they were all turned back to their normal states. Usagi smiled at the three.
"I knew you guys were trustworthy," Usagi said. "I can always count on you to cheer me up. Thank you for your pledges."
"It was nothing," Hotaru smiled. "So, what do we do next?"
"Well, Usagi, since you want to leave Tokyo so badly, why don't we visit your cousin in America?" Haruka sighed. "I'm sure he'll be happy to see you."
(In this story, Usagi is originally from America, because of her hair and eyes. Her parents moved here about five years before she was born, therefore, she is Japanese born.)
"You know what, that can work out!" Usagi bit her lip, deep in thought.
