Disclaimer: I have nothing to say . . . (got lost in the nothingless inside off me ...) . . . so there! Sue me if you want but I repeat it to you - I DO NOT OWN A THING!!
AN: Hello my dear readers!! I know, I know you weren't expecting the new chappie so late up and maybe you didn't read the last one . . . And the list goes on. But you know what? I don't mind it at all, as long as you press on the SECOND chapter, read it and then come back here.
I really didn't mean it for my AN to be so long, YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ IT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO, but there are just some stuff to say. I must say that I really enjoy reading fics written by authors like Rain, Butterfly, Crystal V. Princess, Krissy Muffinhead etc. OK there are also other guys and girls, but I kinda jump around for an hour when I find out they published something new, not to mention what happens if THEY ACTUALLY UPDATED!!! SO, I HIGHLY recommend them in EVERY way!!
Once again I'd like to apologise for being so blaby, but just one last thing - I'm THANKING all those WHO DID REVIEW. Thank you guys I'm still writing this fic just because of you. Thank you for the support - I LUV YA!!!!
P.S. - there's just one more thing to say - I have a crazy old lady above me (- yes, I live in a flat -), and she has an odd habbit of knocking her hammer on her floor, thus my ceiling, for I dunno 200 times and in 2 a.m. !!! I'm getting little bit crazy too, cause of that so I beg of you not to hate me for any of my sudden outbursts - *THANK YOU*

"Where do I begin?"
by Chiisana Anisa (yup that would still be me ...)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"New things came out"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Picture this. Once upon a time there were people living on the Moon. They were called Lunarians, by the word Luna, which stood for Moon. There was a royal family of the Moon. Queen Serenity ruled the place . . ."
"Ami, now I'm not really in the mood for jokes. You do know we KNOW ALL OF THAT?!? Hm?" - Mako was fuming now, her anger raising over the ninth cloud somewhere upthere.
"Mako-chan, I *do* know that! But you don't know the whole story . . ." - said Ami, turning her back on the girls. - "The fact is that . . . Usagi isn't quite what we thought she is."
It was their turn to look dazzeled. Mamoru was the first ot react - "What do you mean?"
"Well, how do I say it . . . Usagi that was with us, is the real reincarnation of the Moon Princess. "
"But . . . " - Minako dropped in.
"Girls, just let her explain." - Luna pleaded the girls, because she was more than eager to find out what was it about.
"As I was saying - Usagi is, I repeat *IS* Serenity."
Minako just had to interrupt - "But we do know that, Ami-chan."
Ami sighed, her nerves on their outer limits. However she has a story to tell. - "Yes, we know that. The problem is, that Usagi, this is gonna be hard... well . . . she never died. She was alive all this time, in a sort of a sleep, if you wish to put it that way. The Crystal kept her on life, and when it's powers came too low, it brought her to life in a form of a girl that we all know."
"You mean that *our* Usagi slept for over then 1000 years?!" - Rei screamed, not believeing her ears.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying! She was alive all this time - in some kind of reincarnation sleep, but alive. That's why she did what she did."
"OK, now . . . thanks for that Ami, but what did Usagi do?" - asked Luna, still eager to find everything out. The girl came to amaze her everyday more and more. She feel deep regret for not trusting her, as her watcher. She abandoned her, in the most horrible way, by leaving her alone.
"Usagi, I don't know when, but she regained her full memory of her life and her experience. And by that - she regained her powers back too."
Mamoru took in a deep breath, trying as hard as he could to remember anything. A hunch, a lead to show him that Usagi pretended all the time she was around them. It nerved him, but that seemed to be the truth. - "So, you're saying that she used her powers for her disapearanace?"
Ami looked at him, still a bit uneasy of what she had to say. "Yes. Using her powers, and not the Crystal she travelled back to the past. You could call it a transportation, but she replaced her old self, Princess Serenity into the past, with her present self."
Mina interrupted her: "But that would mean that Serenity exists no more, ne?"
"In a way, yes. But you keep on forgetting that Usagi lived trough all of that. She didn't demolish her past self, she only made her become . . . her. I know, it does sound a bit crazy and utterly unbelieving, but that's how it happened. Maybe we could call it a fusion, but it isn't exactly that either. That is also the reason we found those strange marks of the Crystal. Her 'travelling' to the past made some adjustments to the past time, thus leaving a trail. A trail we didn't bother to look before."
"I see... SO, Usagi is alive and well, living as her pastself, Serenity. But, why did she do it?" - Luna's question stood in the silence of the room. Everyone lost a bit, and shaken by the thoughts of why she did it. What was her goal?
Ami opened her mini-comp once again, and brining out the recent data, continued on with her explanation. "You are all asking why she did it? Well, the only thing I can say with certainty is that she has intentions of changing the past."
Now, Mamoru stood abruptly up, his eyes quickly scanning the room and the girls seated in it. His mind told him they knew more that the revealed. His gaze wandered to the small image of Chibiusa playing outside. Only then he remember his question form earlier. "Good, now that we know that . . . But what has Cibiusa has to do with it all?"
The four girls looked quizzically at him, believered he still didn't figure it out. Makoto decided to speak up, upon seeing neither of the girls would. "You really don't know Mamoru-san?"
"Mako-chan, do you really think it's the best to tell him everything?" - Rei asked in a concerned tone, with somewhat pleading look in her eyes. But Makoto only nodded to her, and held her hand up, to stop Rei from further speaking. She sighed, then took in one slow and deep breath. With all the courage she could muster, Mako looked Mamoru right in his eyes.
"Chibiusa is your's and Usagi's daughter."
A few blinks and ragged breaths before the truth finally settled in his mind in the right place. First a big blush, red as the blood itself settled on his face, but soon it was drown out by paleness. "Chibiusa is . . . my . . . and . . . Usagi's . . ."
"Daughter." - Minako finished it for him. "Yes. Rei found out trough Sacred Fire not so long ago."
This time, Rei raised her head, but she didn't look at Mamoru, no, she sent her gaze further, as if trying to penetrate trough the doors and look outside. "I . . . with all those changes in Usagi's behaviour, I . . . decided to read the Sacred Fire. I asked for explanation and for help. The vision of you and Usagi in . . . ahem . .. you know appeared and then transfered to Chibiusa. It didn't take a long time to realize that she was your daughter from future." Only now she averted her gaze to his face, which still held the same paleness. She knew what was he thinking.
"Mamoru, I know."
Mamoru's eyes found their way to her face, looking for an answer and some kind of understanding. "Chibiusa . . ." He looked outside, trough the almost closed doors, and the girl whose name he just called, raised her head and flashed one of her smiles to him. He smiled back, looking at her in amasement. He got it now, why he loved her so much. She was the part of him and Usagi, and it *was* so obvious. The hair, the expresional eyes, the joy in her . . . she got that all from Usagi. Now he was sad he didn't noticed it earlier.
Ami stood up, slowly going to the doors, and closing the fully. She didn't want for Chibiusa to barge in any moment with Mamoru looking at her like that. "I don't know how Usagi found out, but she did. She always had her ways of doing things. Personally, I think she realized it when she triggered her powers back and on."
Rustling his own hair, with his big, but gentle hands, Mamoru nodded. "But . . . what does Usagi thinks she's going to achieve with changing the past? Chibiusa is . . ." He stopped in the middle of his sentence. "Oh my God!"
Twelve pairs of eyes turned to him at his plea, or swear. "What is it?" - Luna asked, still a bit dazed herself with all the information.
"Usagi is going to make something drastic - did you all see - the way Chibiusa disappeared for a moment? Usagi is doing something that might cause to 'delete' Chibiusa!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MOON
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"My dear - are you sure? Do you really want to do this?" - The Queen asked her 'daughter'.
Usagi, who was standing on the balcony of her room, raised her head and stared at the big, small orb, painted in blue and green in the sky. "Yes Mother. There is no other way."
The Queen approached her from behind, putting her firm, and graceful hand on Usagi's shoulder. "Are you aware of the consequences? ARE you READY to loose everything?"
Now, with a trail of doubt in her mind, her heart fluttered inside her chests, maybe in an attempt to warn his owner. She bent over the rail, putting her head on her crossed hands, with one tear escaping her eyes. "No. But what has to be done - has to be done." She picked herself up, straightened her dress and turned around. "But I will need your help. Please Mother."
With a rock on her shoulders and clouded thoughts, Queen nodded. "Then be it."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EARTH
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"But Usagi woudn't do that! She would never hurt a fly, nonetheless she would never kill her own daughter!" - Makoto proclaimed.
Then the other doors, opposite to the ones Ami was standing, opened. Everyone gasped at the little girl, with pinkish hair and big red - brown eyes. Tears flow freely from their corners and down her face, some of them falling to the cold surface of the floor, and some on her shirt.
"Mama knows what she's doing."
Mamoru rushed to the little girl, catching her in a bear hug. "Chibiusa, you don't know . .."
But the girl pushed him away, and wiggled out of his arms. Mamoru took few steps backward. Now, Chibiusa was standing, alone, facing this five people and two cats in the middle of the room. These people that drove her mother away. Yes, she knew. Why else would she still be here?
That moment of her disappearing - probably her mother doubted her actions, and that was the result.
"Mom, er... Usagi knows what she's doing. She told me, that I wouldn't be hurt, and I trust her. I am the only one that does. You, Mamoru-san on the other hand . . . "
"Chibiusa, aren't you a little too young to judge people?" - Luna asked, considering her age. (Remember that Chibiusa came when she was eight (or so) so she would now be - let' s just say ten, OK?)
"No. I know more then you. I know Usagi and I trust her. She believed in every one of you and gave you all her love. But like she said to me: "People that love you back - they don't betray you.". She was right. Even in the future, you will all look upon her as a child, a girl that never dared to grow up. And you will be wrong."
Everyone looked at this small child, that spoke with wisdom beyond her years. Yes, she knew too much . . . but she was Usagi's child after all.
"Usagi's changed . . . before, now and in the future. You need to see that... But Mommy said that it's the turn for HER past to change..."
And with that words, the defenders of the Earth finally found out that this time . . . they would be the ones to blame for it's doom. One way or the other...

The End of the THIRD chapter
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AN: Thoughts? Anything?
I'm still looking for an editor . . . anyone willing?
OK, I know that Chibiusa acted a bit strange, but I already warned you for the OOC-ness, didn't I? So bare with me. If you are disappointed that you didn't find out what is Usagi's plan - you'll just have to wait.
As the story goes, the plan will be brought out, bit by bit. By the end of it - I think and I believe you'll understand. So I beg of you - be patient and read it to the end. I would be thankful very much on that.
On further notice - I'm going on a prom trip, excursion - whatever, and I won't be able to post for 10 days. But I will the moment I get back. So you can expect chapter four somewhere around September the 8. OK?
Lots of love,
Chiisana Anisa
