Loss of the Family

Serenity rose in the sunlight. She woke to find Rini sleeping in her arms, but when she picked her up to move her into a better position her head rolled to the side and she didn't make a sound. Serenity set her down and grabbed her by the shoulders and began to gently shake her awake only she didn't make a move a muscle. She was gone and Serenity knew it. She screamed and everyone in the Crystal Palace that was sleeping was now awake.

Mercury and Neptune were the first to reach her. Thinking she was in trouble they ran fast like the wind. The two entered the room to find Serenity holding her dead daughters body, crying in a jet of streams. This was worse than what they say her crying back on Earth; only these leaked from her eyes and went down her cheeks, slowly moving down her neck then two her chest soaking the top of her dress. Neptune then went to her side and took Rini's body from her arms and with Serenity in her state of shock she didn't even realize her daughter was away from her. Neptune then took the crying Queen in her arms and began to rock her softly singing the 'Song of the Seas'.

Uranus ran in and stopped quickly; she looked at the Queen and Neptune but she had missed Rini's small form on the bed. She walked over to Mercury who was crying softly.

"What is wrong here? What has happened?" asked Uranus urgently. Mercury could only answer one word. Rini. Uranus turned back to the bed and finally saw Rini's body. Uranus walked over to Neptune who was still singing the 'Song of the Seas' to Serenity and looked into Neptune's eyes and she understood. Uranus picked up Serenity in her arms and let Neptune get up, and then Neptune grabbed Rini's small body and walked out of the room with Mercury right behind her. They were going down to the new graves that were being made.

Uranus held onto Serenity safely; in her arms. Serenity clung to Uranus and cried hard. She had lost most of her friends and now she lost her daughter. Who was going to be next? Uranus sat down on the bed and let Serenity lay her head on her chest. Serenity's hair was matted with sweat and her clothes were sticking to her. Uranus looked down at her crying friend and Queen, she felt so terrible for her and for herself. She was going to lose Neptune soon but it wouldn't strike her hard. In their quest for the Pure Hearts, Uranus and Neptune would have given up their lives to get each of the Crystals. If one died the other would go on with out sorrow. She remembered when they first met the inner scouts to find the Pure Heart Crystals. It wasn't easy at first not to get along with them but then Uranus began to have a friendship grow between her and Sailor Moon.

Flash back

Then she was willing to lose her partner to save the world. Neptune had also felt the same way. Amera had met a girl named Serena and immediately fell in love with her, she had a pure heart, she loved to laugh, and she always had a smile on her face. Though when Tuxedo Mask was kidnapped by Kaorinite, she and Michelle had assumed that Serena was just feeling guilty about getting him in a trap and wanted to help him. In their human form they couldn't stop Serena from going to Tokyo Tower to save him, and so they gave her a ride there and when she had hopped out of the car and well out of ear shot, Amera had thrown a fit because she didn't want to see that loving child be caught by Kaorinite. So she slammed her fist on the car and grew angry knowing that Serena was the target for the heart snatchers.

After Serena was in the tower they had jumped out of the car and transformed becoming Sailor Neptune and Uranus; after that they ran inside and to catch the heart snatchers but they were too late. The crystal was already floating away from her body. They had jumped down from their hiding spot and caught the crystal before Kaorinite could get her hands on it. Neptune checked to make sure it wasn't a pure heart crystal and it wasn't to Uranus's relief. They placed it back into Serena's chest and that's when Kaorinite opened her mouth and told them that Serena was Sailor Moon. Then the rest of the inner scouts popped in and took over.

Serena recovered her strength after Kaorinite fled and had Uranus and Neptune after her. She transformed into Sailor Moon. They then appeared out of nowhere at the same place Uranus and Neptune were fighting Kaorinite. They defeated her and Uranus and Neptune took off. At the bottom of the steps before Uranus and Neptune detransformed into their human form again Amera then remembered what Serena had said in the car about pure hearts.

End of flash back

With that thought in Uranus's head, Serenity could feel her strength returning along with her senses. She was no longer going to be sad or cry over any more deaths. She stopped crying and leaned up against Uranus's body. She felt her warmth radiating off of her and she closed her eyes thinking to herself.

'If Uranus and I are to live in lonely ness then I must become a shadow with out feelings as she sometimes is. I mustn't let them get the best of me. I must be strong and stay clear headed.' Serenity opened her eyes and looked up at Uranus who was still looking down at her. Serenity moved her face closer to Uranus and kissed her on the cheek. She then removed herself from her lap. She stood next to the bed and stared back at Uranus. "I am no longer going to cry or be weak with emotions. I will be strong and I will protect this entire Universe with you by my side. You and I will do our duty and take care of Earth." Serenity held out her hand and Uranus took it and Serenity pulled her to her feet. She had been sitting in Uranus's lap for nearly two hours and she needed to move her legs.

She and Uranus walked out of the room hand in hand, willing to care for each other like sisters and lovers. As they walked into the grand hall they say everyone there all carrying sad faces.

"We're sorry your highness but everyone is gone now. King Endymion, Mercury and Neptune gave away about an hour ago." said a moon maiden closest to her. Serenity nodded and the moon maiden continued. "We will soon disappear as well and you two will be in your eternal sleep until the Earth needs protection." Suddenly Serenity realized something she had missed a few minutes ago.

"Where is Saturn?"

"She passed away last night Serenity after she healed you." said Uranus calmly. Serenity lowered her head and sent a soft prayer. Everyone was in the care of God Hades and she hoped he would take care of them. She looked up and saw everyone starting to disappear and realized in shock that they only had few moments to get to their Eternal beds. She pulled Uranus quickly out of the room and they ran one room down and hopped into their soft beds.

"See you whenever we awake Serenity. Sweet dreams." said Uranus laying back and closing her eyes. Serenity stared at her and then responded lying down and closing her eyes in the process.

"Sweet dreams my friend." with that they were in their eternal sleep.
