end!!

Kinmoku, 9:00pm:

Sailor Star Fighter was sitting alone in the palace gardens. It had been five months since she last saw Usagi. Or had it been ten months? She really didn't know. All she knew was it had been a long time.
Fighter just sat there on a stone bench, thinking. In her hand was the royal flower Kinmokyo of Kinmoku. It had a sunset orange color to it and the tips were a light pink. Half the petals had been torn off and were now on the dark brown soil by Fighter's feet. She was lost in deep thought.

' It didn't take long for Kinmoku to be rebuilt. I'm surprised,' Fighter thought, ' Even after all that destruction. It's as if Kinmoku was never destroyed.'

She gazed down at the half-petaled flower in her hand. Its beauty reminded her of something...or more like someone.

'Usagi...... I wonder how she's doing,'

While recalling good memories of the earth and its senshi, Fighter didn't notice the tears streaming down her cheeks.

'I wish I could go to earth, one last time, just to see her,' She thought sadly, unaware of the two people standing behind her, 'Even for the slightest second....Odango...'

" You miss her, don't you?" One asked breaking her thoughts.

Fighter quickly turned around and saw her allies. Her best friends ever since she was little. Healer and Maker. She tilted her head down and slowly nodded, wiping the tears away with the back of her hand.

"We miss her, too," Healer stated and sat down next to her, "All of them."

Maker sat on the other side of Fighter and said, " But that doesn't mean you should refuse to do anything besides sulking out here. It's not good for you."

"I can't just move on if that's what you're saying!" Fighter yelled, " It would be too hard to just forget her, it feels already that my heart has been ripped in two!"

"Fighter." a different but familiar voice said calmly, "We're just worried about you that's all." Kakyuu submerged from the shadows of a tree, the crisp Kinmoku moonlight illuminating her figure. She walked in front of Fighter.

" I know...." Fighter whispered looking at the petals on the ground, "Sorry for worrying you."

Kakyuu stared at her, a worried expression on the princess's face. Kakyuu sighed, then paused, suddenly her face brightened.

"I have an idea!" she spoke, "Since I can't stand seeing you so depressed, the three of you can visit earth. Think of it as a vacation from being senshi for a while."

All three of them immediately stood up, surprised expressions on their faces.

"You mean it, princess?!" They all blurted out in unison.

"Of course! Why wouldn't I want my senshi to be happy!" she exclaimed, "I can arrange for you to leave on Saturday and arrive on earth by Sunday."

"But," Maker suddenly remembered, "Who would protect you if any danger comes?"

"Yeah, we can't just leave you here unguarded." Healer added worriedly.

"Don't worry," she replied, "There is plenty of guards and other soldiers here to protect me. Go on, get ready!"

Taking that as a good enough answer, the three starlights bowed and left to pack.

Back on earth, the Hikawa Shrine, Wednesday 3:30pm

"I have great news minna!" Usagi exclaimed, a huge grin on her face, "But I would have told you sooner if I hadn't been so tired the past few days cause of somebody calling me constantly...." She glared at Minako. She looked confused.

Rei rolled her eyes, "Just tell us already!"

"Hey! Don't be mean Rei! Anyway as I was saying I received a phone call from Mamo-chan the other day and he said he was going to visit this Sunday!" Usagi said enthusiastically.

"Wow, that's great Usagi," Ami said looking up from her math textbook. Usagi nodded eagerly.

"Did he say what time he'd be at the airport?" Makoto asked, curiously. Usagi's expression went from happy to nervous.

"Um.....I..Uh....Oopps! I kinda forgot to ask!" Usagi put a hand behind her head and laughed. Everyone else sweatdropped.

"Figures," Luna mumbled from her spot next to Ami and Artimis.

"Don't worry, I'll call and ask him tonight." Usagi said.

They were all silent for a minute. Minako looked around. "So, don't you guys think we should have a 'Welcome Home' party for Mamoru? I think it would be a great idea!" she shouted.

"Yeah! That would be a great! It has to be a surprise though." Usagi told them.

"Well duh!" Rei yelled then declared, "We can have it here, Grandpa won't mind."

"I'll make the cake and bring the food!" Makoto volunteered.

"I can supply all the other party things." Ami said. The girls continued laughing and talking about how great the party will be.

Luna sighed, "Why must I put up with this?"

"Look on the bright side Luna," Artimis said, "At least they're happy."

"You're right," Luna replied smiling a cat smile at him.

What the girls didn't know was.....their happiness will not linger for long.

A shadowed figure was staring into a small fountain of water(A/N: Like a bird bath ^-^). In it were pictures of Sailor Moon and the senshi in their battles. "So these are the legendary Sailor Senshi?" It muttered to itself. "Pitiful, but still a threat."
