Hello again! Well, I hope you guys like this chapter. It's mostly about Rei, but I think you will like it. Thank you reviewers for reviewing my story, it has helped me up my lazy butt to write more.
Disclaimer: Sailormoon is still not mine, but I'm planning this huge heist and I need your help. Someone lure Naoko Takeuchi out of her house. That's when Billy comes in, he is going to take charge! He is going to look for the deeds to Sailor Moon, but don't worry because as soon as this plan is a success I will be able to put. "Sailor Moon is mine on this page." Tee Hee! Got that! Good! *.~

Her eyes flew open at the loud knocking on the door. She stretched.
*Who in the world could it be this early?* she thought, not giving too much importance to her dream.
"I'm coming!" Lita pulled her hair back and slipped out of bed. She rubbed her eyes and turned the knob to open the door.
There was nobody there.
"Hello?" She looked around only to find a gorgeous music box at her feet.
She picked it up carefully and took it inside. There was a note inscribed on the gold lid.
'To:Princess Jupiter
From:Jupiter Knight'
Her eyes widened and she set it on the table. *Could it be?*
Without noticing she grinned and gave out a small laugh.
*The one who has haunted my dreams is going to reveal himself to me.* Her smile grew wider and she opened the music box.
Inside the gold lid there was another inscription which read:
'The deep seas of Jupiter took over me,
I never returned as you could clearly see.
But here I am now,
To throw at your feet.
And once more on Earth,
We shall finally meet.'
She felt warm tears roll down her cheeks as the beautiful melody brought back her past. She did remember their dance and the love that they held for one another. A tie that had still been carried down to Earth, but she did not remember his face.
It was a blur. The Princess and Knight danced in the music box as they had in her dream. She watched them curiously as if they were going to come alive any second and take off their masks.
They stopped twirling and she saw that the princess was wearing something around her head. It was her tiara that she had once used. Still intertwined with silver and gold it sat above her head.
She easily removed it and slipped it around her pinky.
"So this is your vow…" she murmured as she stared at the beautiful ring, now on her finger. She shut the music box and set it amidst her other valuable possessions. "We shall meet again…"

It was warm inside the temple and the atmosphere was filled with a sweet aroma.
"Grandpa?" Rei's footsteps slowed when she saw a figure lying on the floor.
"What are you doing?"
She walked towards him apprehensively. "Grandpa?"
He lay motionless. The calm words turned into cries when she noticed that he wasn't responding.
His face was pale and his lips had grown cold. *What is going on?*
"Grandpa!" On the edge of panic, she took the aged man in her arms and sprinted out of the temple.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Somebody help!" Her voice blended in with the cry of the rain clouds hovering above.
"Help, please! Somebody help!" It felt like she'd been running for hours, but the hospital was nowhere in sight.
Her arms were already getting tired, and her back was beginning to hurt. No, she couldn't give up now. She had to get her grandfather to the hospital.
It was pouring now, making it more difficult to see. Her path had become a blur, but she wouldn't let that stop her. She would run until she got her grandfather there.
She fell to the wet floor on her knees and was unable to regain her ground. She made an effort to pick up her grandfather, but it was impossible.
Suddenly, the weight in her arms became a lot lighter as a strong pair of arms lifted the old man.
Her face lit up as she caught a glimpse of Chad in the rain.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Ugh, can I come in?" Chad stood at the doorway, his gaze locked on to the floor.
She nodded her head and bit her lip tightly. He took a spot next to her on the floor and pulled her close to him.
"Rei, ugh, it's okay. Your grandpa will always be with you." She looked up at him. Her eyes were filled with tears and she clung on to him for life.
"Chad, why do you care about me so much?" She choked back a sob. "I am always so awful to you, yet-"
He released her from his tight grip and put his hand around hers.
"I dunno. It's just like, uh…a feeling I get, I dunno."
Again, tears strolled down her cheeks.
He pulled her into a strong embrace and she continued to weep until she was asleep.
He looked at her, the poor girl was worn out. Since this morning when he let her know about her grandfather's death, she had been crying her heart out.
