Ch 13: Mysterious Dreams Solved

In the morning Luna was certain of it. She knew who had to be sending the dreams. She awoke Artemis and Diana and told them what she thought. They agreed with her and decided to call a Scout meeting, that would include to Astro scouts.

Needless to say Bunny and the rest of the scouts weren't to happy about being woken up at the crack of dawn for a meeting. But they all meet at Raye's temple just like usual. Only the Astro scouts didn't seem to be tiered. But then, they hadn't been spending the last three days looking for Pearl.

"So what is it Luna? What is so important that it couldn't wait 'till after breakfast?" Bunny asked, in a whinny voice.

"Gez Bunny, is that all you ever think about, food?" Raye sneered.

"Don't start Raye, it's to early in the morning," pleaded Mina, with a yawn.

"Yeah, even Bunny and Rini aren't fighting," Amy added.

"Actually, they haven't had a fight for a long time," Diana replied, with a smile.

"Anyway, can we get back to the point. Why did you bring us all here?" Amara inquired.

"Well, I think I might have solved the mystery of Bunny's memory dreams," Luna started.

"Really! Finally, maybe we can go talk to this person and get some more info," Bunny was positively ecstatic. All thoughts of food were driven from her mind.

"Not so fast Bunny. If I'm right, talking to this person will be difficult, and for you, impossible," Luna continued, despite Bunny's gasps of protest. "I believe that Raye was right when she said Queen Serenity was sending the dreams to you."

"But Luna, you were there when she said she wasn't," Raye pointed out.

"That's true, Bunny's mom didn't send her the dreams. Now just hold on a second. Rini didn't you say that the Moon Kingdom reminded you of Crystal Tokyo?"

"Yes, but I don't see… Wait! Do you mean?" Rini was suddenly exited.

"Precisely, it was Queen Serenity, not Bunny's mom but Bunny herself," Luna finished.

"You mean Neo-Queen Serenity. Of course it makes since. She sent us here to protect Rini and Hotaru. She must have found a way to send messages to her past self," Ceres stated.

"Oh, that makes sense," Bunny said, sitting down, some what gloomily.

"What's the mater Bunny? I thought you'd be happy we figured out your dreams," posed Luna.

"I am, I really am. But your right, I can't talk to my future self. That means I can't get anymore information, except the dreams."

"Bunny, don't worry. You might not be able to talk to Neo-Queen Serenity, but I can!" Rini exclaimed, trying to cheer her up. "I belong in the future. So, I can go and talk to my mother and then come back and tell you all about it."

"And I can go with her, to make sure she is safe," Trista added. "I've been away from my post for a long time. I will be glad to see the fourth dimension again."

Michelle laughed, "Only Trista would miss a door with vast clouds surrounding it." "Well, if you had been by that door of thousands of years, you'd miss it too," Trista retorted

"This all sounds great. But I have one question. If Rini can't transform because the timeline has been distorted, mightn't it be dangerous for her to travel through time," Darien asked.

"Well, yes, but that's all the more reason I should accompany her. I will be able to see how much Metallia's presence has altered the fourth dimension. If anything goes wrong I can get us safely back here. You have my word," Trista promised.

"All right, Rini, Trista it's settled. You must go and speak with Neo-Queen Serenity. You must find out as much as you can from her," Bunny said, determined but somewhat sadly.

"It's okay Bunny, we'll say Hi to everyone for you," Rini offered.

"And it's best this way. Rini, Diana, the Astro scouts, and I are the only ones who can go to the future. The rest of you already exist there, and wouldn't be able to stay for long," Trista reminded them.

"And we have to stay and protect Hotaru. Once Rini is in the future, your future selves will be there to protect her," Vesta said.

The plan was agreed upon. Rini and Trista would go to the future the next day. Rini sent a message to her parents, via Luna P, so that they would know she was coming. They didn't want to just show up unexpectedly.

Darien and Bunny were still a little nerves about her going. They knew she would be safe with Trista, but what if she got home and didn't want to return? They couldn't bear to not have her around. However, they had bigger problems to solve. Where was Pearl?

Darien decided to consult with his guardians. He figured that they might have some clue since Beryl had brainwashed them. In fact, because of Beryl they had been turned to stone, for every time they are reborn their bodies belong to Beryl.

Darien got out his box with the stones in it and concentrated his energy on them. However, Kunzite, Jadeite, Nephrite, and Zoisite were not appearing. Darien couldn't understand it. Why couldn't he contact them. Then, suddenly Bunny came running into the room.

"You'll never guess who is here!" she exclaimed.

"Who? Pearl?" Darien asked, not totally paying attention.

"No. (sniff). It's the inner scouts and… and… oh just come and see!" Bunny pulled Darien into the living room.

"Master!" Kunzite, Jadeite, Nephrite, and Zoisite said in unison, bowing before Darien. "Master, we have been reborn. Free of all of Beryl's powers."

"Isn't it wonderful, Darien?" Bunny asked. Darien was speechless.

"This is wonderful. I can hardly believe it," Darien finally managed to say.

"Yes, now we all can be with our true loves," Venus said smiling, as Kunzite slipped his arms around her. It had been a long time since the inner scouts had been with their true loves. Bunny and Darien were not the only forbidden match, back in the Silver Millennium. The Princess' and the Prince's guardians had fallen in love as well.

"What's all the commotion about?" Rini asked, walking out of her room rubbing sleep from her eyes.

"Oh, it can't be!" Hotaru gasped when she saw Darien's guardians.

"Yes, it's true we have been reborn," Jadeite said as he hugged Raye.

"Rini, these are Darien's guardians from the Silver Millennium, Kunzite, Jadeite, Nephrite, and Zoisite," Bunny explained.

"Glad to meet you," Rini said with a curtsey.

"And everyone, this is Princess Small Lady Serenity, our future daughter," Darien said hugging Bunny.

"Very glad to meet you little princess," Nephrite replied, leaving Lita's side to kiss Rini's hand. Rini told them to use her nickname.

"Darien, why haven't we ever seen your guardians before?" questioned Diana.

"Well, it's because they where killed while under Beryl's power," explained Darien.

"This is marvelous. Perhaps they will be able to help us with our current problem," Luna says.

"Ummm... Luna are you sure that's a good idea. They have already been taken over by Beryl, what if her daughter can do the same thing?" causond Artemis

"You need not worry. We will never be on the opposite side of our Prince again. He was right, and because of that he has been with his love, while we have been deprived of ours," Zoisite said, looking efficiently at Amy. "So what is your current problem?"

They all sat down, and the scouts, Darien, and the cats, all explained their present situation. The guardians did, somewhat, remember that Beryl had once had a daughter, and where surprised to hear what had happened to her. They also where nervous about the chance that Metallia might be re-released.

"So you see, we are trying to find Pearl before Metallia does," Bunny finished.

"We will help you, of course. But we have no way of knowing where Pearl is," Kunzite assured them.

With everyone up to date on the current problem, they all decided to get some sleep. The inner scouts and Darien's guardians could not bring themselves to be separated, so Darien and Bunny allowed them to spend the night.
