I didn't want to do 5 pages per chapter so I cut off a whole .75 of a page. I am trying to find a star wars muse, and it isn't working…Enjoy your reading, and please comment. I don't own sailor Moon.

Meetings of Consequence

It was nearing 1. Elizabeth's Myth closed around 1:30, 2 on the weekends, and today was such a night. Serena hadn't danced in years, and the amount she danced tonight was more than her high school years. Hotaru, to, came down exhausted, to where Serena was waiting for people to congregate. Hotaru came down at the precise moment Star Light Seiya was talking to her mom. Her mom, Seiya Light was talking to. Hotaru wasn't the pure gossip type though, so she hid, and spied.

"Hello, who might you be?" Serena turned suddenly, invisible tiara in hand, to the very manly voice behind her. Her hands went down in a normal position, yet her features remained hard. "Depends," she took a step back, "Who you are." His looked was wide eyes amusement. All she saw was a Darien imposter. She could have sworn she heard someone slap their forehead though, as she asked that. "You don't know who I am." Serena just glared, now remembering that he was the guy who had tried to bully his way into Jupiter's Moon. "All I know is that your brother, a blond, tried to get you to make me change the configuration of Jupiter's Moon." He openly laughed, and the hatred for him began to grow. "What do you want?" She sat down, fed up with killer heals, and him. Her heels would come off in the car.

He sat down next to her, running his hands nervously through his hair. Serena wondered why he was nervous. "Well, I was going to ask you to dinner, but I think I need to settle for coffee." She crossed her legs patiently, waiting for him to finish. "You're not going to get me over coffee."

Hotaru gave up trying to stay still, and ran up to mom. She grabbed her mother's hand, and begins to jump up and down slightly. His blue eyes took in Hotaru, and the resemblance between her and the older looking woman. "You are taken I see." Serena shrugged, hiding her expression. The girl was barley containing her excitement, in her calm composer. He could see it in her eyes, along with the Saturn symbol on her forehead. The crescent moon was apparent on mother's forehead. So this was the princess of the moon…It didn't matter anyway. He knew his princess. "Well, would you object to a studio visit for your daughter?" Hotaru, despite her mild wiggling, began to let it show in her dark blue eyes, almost matching his own. Serena softened her gaze enough to have her daughter be able to see it. The man saw nothing in her expression change. "I suppose she would absolutely die for it. Could friends join?" He noticed she didn't say her friends, or anyone's friends for that matter." Seiya nodded. "Of course they can. Just give me a number of people before the date you plan to visit." He began to turn away, to go back to his office, but stopped. "Who are you again? I'm Seiya Light." Stiffly, she slightly pulled Hotaru back, not knowing if he was telling the truth. "Serenity Tuskino. Come on, Hotaru, we should go to the car." Seiya still saw that she was wiggling.

"MOM! MOM! You were just nearly asked out by Seiya Light, lead singer of the Star Lights!" Serena cocked an eyebrow in her rear view mirror, ignoring the reactions of her other passengers. "So? I have no interest in dating." Serena said nothing to her friend's reactions, just listening to them gush about this supposedly good specimen of a male. Ami was the voice of reason. "Guys, he isn't Darien. Get over it." Serena smiled at Ami's reaction, and turned on the radio, ending all other conversation.

Serena noticed, as all finally went their separate ways, that Hotaru was sadder than usual. Maybe that gleam in her daughter's eyes wasn't because of Seiya Light; it was because of a father figure. And maybe, just maybe, Hotaru wasn't crying herself to sleep, or clutching her father's picture to her chest.

Galaxy Andromeda

"Princess, I have found the queen. Rumors are right; there is no king, no heir." His dark haired princess bowed her head in the middle of her temple floor. "So the universe will end, then. Is there a way to save it?" Seiya's princess was as much a mortal as Serena, but twice as weak. "No, M'lady, I see no real way to save the kingdom. Hotaru cannot rule the crystal; she wields her own dark crystal. The original princess condemned her self a lifetime ago." Silence ruled again over the silent kingdom. "We need to wait for the heir. That is out of our control. The king isn't. I have a plan, and unless you, or your brothers, have a better idea. We are going to use it." Seiya bowed his head, chin touching his high necked uniform. "Yes ma'am."

Milky Way

"Hello, this is Mina speaking." Mina was doing a self manicure, when an unknown caller registered on her id. It felt right to answer it on speaker phone. "This is Seiya. I need to talk to you." Mina frowned, feeling this wasn't a greatest fan phone call. She had a feeling that she wasn't wrong though, about what it was about. "This is on Senshi business." Seiya blinked on the other end, surprised at her pre-knowledge. "Mar's had taught me something. Why did you call?" Hm, this was easier than Seiya imagined. "I have a plan to set the universe on the right path, and I request your help." Mina would give him a chance, and at least listen to him. It couldn't do any harm. "You have until my shoot in an hour."

"Hello, I am Rena Anderson. Who are you?" Mina had pulled strings, told her friends she was going out for a long family visit, and was now in America. Darien had been easy to locate with the galaxy computer. That had been her starting sentence, and then with a little glamour, managed to hide her identity, and made it feel like Serena's slightly. Serena's personality was easy to remember, easy to copy, and slowly, just slowly, brought him over to feel great emotion for her. In his years following that he spent to finish his medical degree, he had purposed to her, in his heart, thinking she was Serena. Mina looked back, and wondered why she wasn't hated by Darien. She claimed she was a devout catholic so nothing went farther than making out. It was a hard feat for 2 years, for he was a desirable man.

Luckily though, in American, and as Mina Aino, Japanese transfer student/model, she met Kunzite. He was told this elaborate set up plan, and for some reason, unfathomable to Mina, went along with it. He became her agent, until the day when they were leaving for Japan, Kunzite on another plane, and Mina and Darien an engaged couple. The next part was the hardest though, for all people.

Back in Japan, great steps had happened. Indeed, Hotaru did gain a father figure, well before they had even begun dating, Serena and Seiya. It begun with sweet little dates, sending her flowers, going to coffee houses. He had helped her through, finish a minor degree in management, and had aided her financially, letting her use a floor of his penthouse. Finally, he had engaged, after several years of chasing, and convincing. It had taken 3 no's to make Serena realize he was serious, and several hours of friends convincing her. In those years, though, she hadn't been the only one to find someone. Ami had found a Zoisite in a medical reunion. They had married several years afterwards. Rei and Jadeite were married by Shinto standards. Lita kept looking, and for awhile, found her old boyfriend, but then dumped him. Afterwards, she realized who he was, but never forgave herself, and hoped he had a better life now. Mid thirties, she was a happy woman who owned a chain of high class restaurants. Hotaru was in her senior year of high school, with an on and off boyfriend darker than she was. It was a rather funny situation.

"I feel so old, Seiya, it isn't even funny." Seiya, her fiancé of a few short months, laughed with her, and hugged her. "Rena, you aren't old. Technically, you're already thousands of years, but you look only 28. I wouldn't complain dear." Serena pouted. "I know, but Hotaru is graduating. In 2 years, she will be the queen of her planet. All the others will as well." Seiya hugged her, and let his arms stay around her. She didn't bother moving. "It will be unusual when Hotaru finally moves on beyond us. I don't know what I will do then." Seiya said nothing. His home planet was calling to him again; as he knew the moon was calling to, regretfully, the one he loved. She wasn't his to love, and yet in a way she was. Maybe the princess would give her permission. Maybe he could become king…maybe he could become the queen's consort. He smiled. That would do nicely for him. How was mina, he wondered. That girl was a sister in the past, was now, through heavy communication, and would be in the future. He had seen himself as an uncle in the next few hundred years.

"Hey, how about we meet my brother's at the air port now. We can plan a great many things in the waiting process." Serena smiled at the possible plans. "Yeah, let's go wait." Seiya smiled at her, and clasped hands. In the back of her mind, she knew it was true, his emotions. In her rhetorical heart, she knew also that she cared for him the most she could. It haunted her though, that he hid something from her. If it wasn't important though, and didn't disrupt the future, she guessed it wasn't worth pursuing.

"Rena, you are ready for the return home tomorrow?" Darien was gazing at his fiancé across the French restaurants table, as she was at him. It nagged him that it was guarded from something major, but it never came up in the least bit. Mina took a drink of water from her wine glass. "Of course, I have been packed for it since last week." Darien laughed at her resourcefulness. "You are so different than her." Mina choked, and quickly excused herself. In the bathroom mirror, she saw that her eyes were glazed over, and she was sweating. She was having a panic attack. He loved her. He really loved her. Shit. Serena seemed forgotten to him now…maybe this was a bad plan…maybe…she was over reacting. Venus glamour covered puffy red eyes, and training forced her breathing back to normal. This was their nearly 3 year anniversary. This can't disrupt the general plans. She would call Seiya tomorrow.

"So, Darien, have you ever thought about her?" The unexpected question caught his attention nicely. He thought about that. That could be a bad sign. "Yes. I do. Why?" Mina paced around the kitchen, drinking her soda. "In what way?" Darien was looking suspicious, yet he still answered. "I wonder how she is doing now, if she found a guy who loves her. I wonder if she had any kids yet, or has fulfilled her destiny." The dinner had been over several hours ago. In pajamas, they were taking a midnight snack then. "What if you were a set part of her destiny?" He had been expecting her to think of him weirdly at the destiny part, it appeared. To Darien's credit, it was considered though. "I think it would be her test, to see if she can stand on her own. I never was going to be there for her all the time, as she appeared to be very needy, and needed saving too often. I never saw a future with her, honestly." Mina plastered a smile on her face, and gave him a kiss goodnight. "I'm heading to bed, I'll see you later." They still had separate rooms, at her insistence. Her cell phone flashed an orange color as she turned it on, and it played the Venus theme song as she dialed. "Seiya, we have a problem….muffled answer….he never planned to be with her at all, really…muffled exclaimed answer, then a calmer one…yes, I will last until they at least meet. It will look good, you know that. Bye." There was no willing Terrain king. There would be no lunar Terran child to ascend the throne. At least they would leave tomorrow. Maybe Kunzite was still awake. The Venus song played again, this time an incoming call. Mina smiled, relieved. "Hey honey. Yeah…it isn't going so well here."

"Mom…MOM! Jason is coming home today. We need to meet him at the air port." Serena stuck her head out of her kitchen, at the first mom. Jason was apparently behaving lately. "When is he getting here?" Hotaru was doing her version of a happy dance. "In a day. Exactly." Serena laughed. "Then we'll get ready in 10 hours." Hotaru had a car, and a license, but was still several months new to the driving scene. Serena had to accompany her. Seiya's brothers were finally returning that day as well. The last time, weather had halted them at Madrid, due to a plane miscalculation. "We will mix it then with getting your uncles." Hotaru stopped her happy dance. Her uncles? Darien had brothers? Purple eyes anxiously found the 'old family' picture. There were no brothers. Oh, Seiya did. That worked, she guessed.

Hotaru moseyed into the kitchen, and began drying dishes. "Mom…Do you want to get back together with dad ever?" Serena stopped what she was doing, and looked at her daughter. "Why do you ask Hotaru?" Hotaru shrugged. "Just wondering." Serena began doing dishes again. "I don't know. Considering he left me, alone, with you, and he never cared to find out about you, I consider that bad. Also, I'm engaged to a man that actually cares for you and I." Hotaru dried the last dish. "So no?" Serena busied herself refolding towels. "Do you not like Seiya?" Hotaru shook her head, slowly. "Oh, I like him. I was just wondering. Would you ever see my dad again?" A soft unrecognizable expression crossed her face. "Yeah…I would like to see him again." Hotaru looked at the clock, to break eye contact. "Mom, you're late for work again." Serena saw the clock, as well. "No, I'm not, actually. They have pushed it for 5:30, instead of 5. Thank you for noticing though, Hotaru." That night, it was uncomfortable.
