Realizations and Understandings

With in the Starlight Towers of Tokyo Japan live the Idols of today. Many are businessmen and women. Some are even movie stars, and then there are the Three Lights, They highest paid rock group in Japan to date. The Three Lights live in the top penthouse, with a great view of the City.

While the sun starts to set on what is to be the last day for the Lights to be on Earth. The three cousins are off to do things before they leave forever.

In the living room, their princess Kakyuu is sitting in the center of the couch, in very deep thought. Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten know better than to disturb the princess while she is like this.

While the time passed on, Kakyuu continued to mediate on the question posed to her. Trying to remember the last conversation, she had with Selenity. 'What was it she said to me just before the final fight on the Moon?' Deep in thought, Kakyuu's eyes seemed to fade out, looking over the time and space. With the evening sunlight shining in on her ruby red hair, Kakyuu's eyes snap open.

"STARLIGHTS! I have the answer," Kakyuu yells out while shaking her head slightly. The guys come running from their tasks. Out of breath and panting they run to the living room.

"What was it you saw, princess?" Taiki asks. "Did you find out why my Odango can not remember me?" Seiya worried asks. "I want my Angel to be with me once more." Yaten states solidly.

"Yes, to all your questions. Selenity had all of the Moon courts memories 'adjusted' to only remember the happy times. With your lovers, well… The Queen had Ami focus on her school work, and made her really nervous of all men." Taiki sucks in a deep breath as silent tears fall for his love.

"Selenity put a mental curse on Minako. Making Venus unable to fall truly in love with any single boy, until the curse is lifted she will always be lonely." Kakyuu sighs sadly. Yaten turn from his princess to look out the window, and whispers sadly, "My beloved Angel."

"However for her own daughter, Queen Selenity made Serena/Usagi remember that she once loved Endymion/Darien," Kakyuu stops waiting for Seiya's explosion. This comes out with a bloody murder scream and him starting to punch the walls. As Seiya starts to quiet down, Kakyuu continues.

"I am so sorry my Starlights. Moreover, I just remember her telling me this before we lost all communications with the Moon. Seiya-kun I know you are upset. However, as I promised earlier, if Usagi remembers herself and you then I will allow you to stay. That goes for both of you as well." Kakyuu says as she looks at Taiki and Yaten.

The men look at each other, each saying a silent prayer that their lovers would soon remember them. Seiya grabs his guitar and starts to strum out notes. Taiki recognizing this to be a moment when his cousin is usually coming up with a plan or idea walks over closer. Yaten follows, though seeming in his own little world.

"Seiya, what is it that you are thinking? Your eyes betray you when you think. Are you planning something to help us return to our lovers?" Taiki asks quietly from a chair near Seiya.

"What if we moved up the time we left? Say by an hour. However, only telling the scouts, I believe Mamoru holds a power over them that cause them not to remember more clearly, now that we have returned. If I remember correctly, Usagi and me were together only about 30 mins before we knew each other. I believe it was the same for you two, am I correct?" Seiya asks while he continues to strum. Taiki and Yaten think on this, then nod in agreement.

"Well, I know that when I first walked passed Odango in the airport I felt a pull to be with her. I am sure that both of you have also felt this pull when you are with your True Loves." Seiya continues, "So, if we get the scouts away from Mamoru then maybe, just maybe we can awaken the true memories that have been hidden from them."

Taiki is stunned that his cousin could think of a plan that would help them so thoroughly. Yaten has fallen to the floor in shock that Seiya would help him return to his beloved angel.

Kakyuu smiles, knowing she will be leaving with out her beloved Starlights. "Cousins, please call everyone. Tell them we must leave earlier. If they ask why, tell them that we double checked the planets and need to leave at 3pm instead of 5pm."

The guys leave the room to call the girls.

When they had left the room Kakyuu looks towards a puff of silver mist that was floating in a corner. "You helped Seiya, did you not Selenity? You want your daughter happy and you know that Mamoru would never allow her to keep the power as it was to be."

From the mist parted and out floated a small fairy like woman. Queen Selenity of the old Moon Kingdom fluttered up to her dear friend then spoke quietly. "Seiya will always make a better king than the prince of this Earth. I tried to keep my daughter happy; however, I realized when he was possessed, and when he was tested that he would never ever love her as much as Seiya does. However, there will be tests for all three of them to pass. Seiya must somehow become the Prince of Earth before they are married. Please, Kakyuu stay and guide them well as you have on Kinmoku. I am sure Kikuyu would not mind this, you know how she doesn't like these three." A noise startles the Queen. "I must return to the Moon to …ah… gather strength. Be well my friend, and tell them all that I love them."

The mist fades away as the Queen disappears. Kakyuu smiles happily waiting for her cousins to return. Thinking on what Selenity has said.

Selenity returns to the Moon and enters the Royal prayer room. After a few moments, she opens her eyes and walks towards a pair of closed doors with the symbol of Pluto on them.

"Sailor Pluto, Setsuna, please hear my plea. Open these doors for me. Open them and welcome me to the time stream." Selenity waits as the doors open slowly.

Sailor Pluto steps out then falls to one knee for her queen. "Queen Selenity, you have summoned me. The daughter of Chronos and Hades, what is it you wish of me." Still bowed, her head down Pluto waits.

"Open the memories of the Silver Moon Kingdom. Allow all of the Moon Court to remember the truth of the kingdom. It is time for my daughter to remember her true love." Selenity smiles then reaches over to touch Setsuna's forehead. "We have lost of work to do, and so little time to do it. Therefore, I will help you with this quest I put to you."
