Serena was pacing back and forth as she waited for Hotaru and Duo to come home.

She was truly happy for Hotaru and Duo. They deserved someone so very much.

She was so afraid that if they didn't defeat this evil, that the world would perish with them. And Duo and Hotaru's love would never get a chance to grow and blossom.

Amy sighed as she walked into the room where Serena was walking a hole into the carpet.

"They'll be here in a minute. These things take time."

"I know Amy.but I'm so worried about everything. What if we lose?"

"We won't. Your mother won't allow that and neither will we. We've faced them all and won before."

"They're so confident Amy."

"And that will be their down-fall." Raye said, coming in from outside.

"Amy's right Serena. We've faced them and won. No matter what we have to do, we will win. If they choose to play dirty, this time, we'll play dirty as well." Luna said, giving the girl some confidence.

The front door opened as Duo and Hotaru came in.

Amara met them. "Hi. I'm Amara Ten'ho." She said and held out her hand.

Duo looked a little nervous as he shook her hand. "Nice to meet you. I'm Duo Maxwell."

Amara smiled and gave him a very scrutinizing look. She looked at Hotaru and winked. "Nice catch Firefly."

Hotaru smiled and Duo breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm guessing that Hotaru told you everything."

"Actually I showed him everything. It'll be faster if we do that. That way we can get started planning what we're going to do." Hotaru said.

Duo smiled. "I'm willing to help you girls on how to use Gundams. I don't know about Heero, Wufei, or Trowa.but Quatre will help you if you explain why. I know that Trieze will help since Ms. Tsu-Serena-is his sister. As will Millardo, since they're good friends."

"Yeah, but we need the best. You five are the best." Serena said, coming in from the living room to hug Hotaru.

Duo smiled. "I don't know how you girls are gonna tell the others, but they won't believe you .until you show them. They won't believe you, you can trust me on that." Duo said.

Serena sighed. "I know."

"Hey Duo!" Sammy said as he came down stairs.

"Hey Sammy! What's up?"

"Nothing. Hanging out with Seyia, Taiki, and Yaten. You?"

"Hanging with Hotaru. Who's Seyia, Taiki, and Yaten?"

"We are. I'm Taiki." Taiki said from the stairs.

"I'm Yaten."

"I'm Seyia. We're the Three Lights."

"Huh?" Duo said, not understanding.

Hotaru leaned in and whispered to him, "The Sailor Starlights. The ones that fought with Serena against Chaos when we were killed."

"Oh.I thought they were chicks."

"Only when in Scout form. They're really guys."

"Oh." Duo said, a little confused and a little freaked out.

"Don't worry. It still freaks us out." Yaten said, understanding the look he was giving them.

Duo loosened up a bit, but still was a little freaked out.

Lita came in, and smiled. "Hi Duo. When will everyone else get here?"

"They'll be here pretty soon I should think. They were getting ready when I left."

"Cool. All we have to do is wait." Serena said.

The guys arrived there right after Millardo and Trieze.

Quatre knocked.

"Hey!! We were wondering when you guys would get here. Come on in and meet the entire gang." Mina said, letting them in.

"Thank you." Quatre said, handing her their coats.

"You're welcome. Duo's already here. He came home with Hotaru."

"Hey guys!" Duo said as they walked into the living room where he was talking with Millardo, Trieze, Sammy, Hotaru, Amara, Trista, and Seyia.

The four of them stopped dead in their tracks. Trieze Kushrinara was sitting on the couch and talking to Duo.

"I suppose you four would like an explanation." He said, not looking up from his teacup.

Quatre nodded slowly, giving the only answer out of the group.

"It's rather simple. I survived and went to Earth under the name Kristian Rhaezeur." He said. "Millardo knew the whole time."

Millardo shifted somewhat in his chair. "You have your secrets, I have mine."

The Gundam pilots just stood there for a minute, soaking in everything.

Finally, Quatre shrugged his shoulders and sat down. Everyone else followed suit.

Serena came out with more tea, cups, and cookies. "Okay, now that everyone is here, we can make introductions. Everyone knows me. Okay.um.that's Amy Mizuno, Raye Hino, Lita Kino, Mina Aino, Amara Ten'ho, Michelle Kaiou, Trista Meiou, Hotaru Tomoe, Sammy Tsukino, Seyia Kou, Taiki Kou, and Yaten Kou." She told the Gundam pilots, Millardo and her brother.

"Guys, this is Heero Yui, Duo Maxwell, Wufei Chang, Trowa Barton, Quatre Winner, Millardo Peacecraft, and, of course, Trieze Kushrinara."

Everyone nodded when their name was mentioned.

Lita smiled and said, "It'll be about fifteen minutes more, so just make yourself comfortable." She said and set next to Serena and Trieze and began talking.

"If you don't mind me interrupting, how do you know Trieze?" Quatre asked.

"Don't you see the resemblance? Trieze is my brother." Serena said, making Wufei, Heero, and Trowa go into a coughing fit.

"Oh.yes, I do see it now. That means that all three of you are related." Quatre said, looking from Sammy to Serena to Trieze.

"No. Serena isn't my real sister. She's my adoptive sister. I've just known her all of my life as my older sister and that's what she's always been for me."

"So, you were adopted into another family?" Heero asked, looking Serena straight into the eyes, making her breath catch, which was only noticed by Trieze.

"Sort of. In a way yes, but still no." She said softly, unable to tear her clear, silvery, blue eyes from his Persian blue ones.

"Actually, it's all my fault. Serena.do you think we should explain now or later?" Trista asked.

Serena suddenly got an idea as Luna and Artemis walked into the room and jumped up next to Heero and Quatre. "I don't know.what do you think Luna? Artemis? About telling them everything now or later."

Everyone looked at Serena and then at the cat. Those who knew that the cats could talk were trying not to laugh.those who didn't weren't so sure about Serena's sanity (a/n: of course.who really is? As many falls as that chica took it's amazing that she didn't cause a lot of brain damage.)

Luna sat there, not knowing what to do. Serena and the scouts were obviously waiting for an answer while everyone else contemplated on how to get Serena to see a shrink without telling her.

"Well?" Serena said, getting impatient.

Luna growled. "I hate you. I suppose that we should tell them now and discuss everything over dinner."

"You don't really hate me.you're just irritated. What do you think Artemis?"

"I agree with Luna. You'll have more time to discuss tactics for battle.that is if they agree."

"It's a talking cat." Millardo said, still in shock.

"Guys, change into your human form for tonight." Serena said, making everyone look at her strangely.

The scouts didn't know that they had a human form. (a/n: they may have in the mangas, but I don't have any and the US doesn't have the series of Galaxia and Chaos. I've seen them battle the snow witch, so I know they have human forms.I also have pics. You can see those on my web site. Back to the story:)

Luna looked at her and sighed. In a flash (literally) she transformed into a human with long flowing black hair done like Serena's.

In another bright flash, Artemis transformed into a human with wait length white hair.

Mina's mouth hung open. "You mean that all this time I've been complaining that no cute guys would even be my friend long enough to like me and this whole time I've had this hottie sleeping on my pillow or at my feet." She whispered to Lita and Serena.

Lita shook her head in total agreement.

"I knew he had a human form, but I didn't know he looked this good." Serena said, making Trieze raise his eyebrows.

"Um.explain everything please." Duo said, knowing that his friends were too shocked for words.

"Luna, Trista, you two get this one." Serena said and sat back.

Luna rolled her eyes. "I'll take this one. LUNA MIND MELD!"

Her crescent moon began to glow as she filled the pilots heads with images of the scouts fighting during the Silver Millennium, on Earth, up to coming to that dimension.

When she was done, Serena began. "Trista took me from this home because I was not meant to be born here. Now, we've come back because I promised Trieze that I would. It was the last trip that anyone in our dimension could make, meaning I would have to stay here. The starlights were the only ones going to accompany me at first, but then I told my friends.the scouts.of my decision. They all wanted to stay with me and I'm grateful that they did because everyone of those enemies that you have just seen has joined forces. They are in this dimension and they are now going to attack this planet. It's only a short matter of time and we can't defeat them all like that. We need help, your help. Like I told Duo earlier, we need the best. You're the best. Will you teach us to use Gundams? Trista can make the programs and Amara can build them, but we need someone to teach us. Duo has already sworn to help us. Please.for the sake of mankind and Earth. Help us destroy them."

Quatre nodded gravely. "You have my help, as well as the help of my men. We'll do our best to stop them."

"We'll help as well." Trowa said, speaking for Wufei, Heero, and himself.

Serena let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you so much. Now.Trieze, I think it's time you received your memories back as well." She said and took out the Imperial Silver Crystal.

The scouts all joined hands as she called upon the moon. "Moon Crystal Power! Give Trieze his rightful memories of the moon kingdom."

"Mercury Power!"

"Mars Power!"

"Jupiter Power!"

"Venus Power!"

"Neptune Power!"

"Uranus Power!"

"Pluto Power!"

"Saturn Power!"

Trieze's forehead began to glow as the symbol of the sun appeared. (a/n: it's a circle with a dot in the center. Anywho.)

The same symbol began to glow on Sammy's forehead as he morphed into the second born prince of the sun, Prince Samson. (a/n: Samson is Hebrew for Bright as the Sun.)

Serena morphed into Princess Serenity, her crescent moon shining as though it were the sun and the moon themselves. Her pure heart crystal came out and glowed.

The others began to morph into their princess forms. (a/n: if you want to see what I'm not even going to TRY to describe, you can go to my website and click on Sailor Moon Kingdom then click on galleries, and go to the bottom of the screen and click on group. It's in there.)

Everyone was awe struck as the girls changed from everyday, yet beautiful, young women into beautiful, goddess-like beauties.

The light around them began to fade as they changed back into their former selves.

Serena sank to her knees and clutched the crystal and her chest. She was completely drained of energy, even with the help of her scouts.

Trieze looked at her in shock. "Let me get this straight. You were my cousin and Sammy was my younger brother back when I was heir to the sun kingdom."

"Right." Serena said weakly.

Lita suddenly smacked her forehead. "Crap! The food!"

She rushed from the room and into the kitchen just in time to hear the timer go off.

She let out a sigh of relief when she pulled out a perfect apple pie.

She came into the room, after setting some of the food on the dinning table, where everyone was talking quietly.

"Dinner's ready."
