A New Star in the Sky

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or Full Moon wo Sagashite. I wish I could draw as good as both of them though *sniffles* They are so talented.

Note: I just finished watching Full Moon wo Sagashite. I cried my eyes out through the majority of the series, it's just so incredibly sad *sniffles again* Anyway, at first I didn't really think I could write anything about this series because the ending fit so well, but well, I'm going to give it a try *grins* Please email me at pokahydee@mysticallegends.net to tell me how it is^^ I have several ideas floating around in my head and this is just one of them. It takes place during Sailor Stars in SM and four years after Mitsuki's surgery in FMwS at Full Moon's big comeback debut.

Warning! Spoilers ahead, don't read if you don't want to be spoiled!

Sailor Ronin Usa-chan: *glomps* You're so awesome imouto-chan! I never would have had the opportunity to see this series otherwise. Credit for this ficcy goes solely to Usa-chan *glomps again*
Browen Stx: *grins* I'm glad to see there's more Full Moon fans out there *bounces* Yatta! I'm also glad you like the ficcy^^
InvisibleRain: Hmm… I'm not sure if Usagi can sing, but it's AU in that respect ~.^ I have to make it interesting somehow ne? ~.^
themoonmaiden: *nods* Yup, I love Sailor Stars^^ I don't really remember that eppie, it's been so long since I've seen some of them^^; You really should see FMwS, it's EXCELLENT. You can DL it at animesuki.com. *grins* Glad you like how I combined them^^ I try to make it as original (and believable as possible^^)
Duos-Bunnie: Actually I think Usa-chan beat me on the first Full Moon ficcy^^ Her site is smcrossover.com, she's an EXCELLENT writer. She has two Full Moon/SM ficcies so far^^
Michi Hatabaki: *grins* Not gonna tell you who she ends up with ~.^ Mainly cuz I dunno yet *blushes* I rarely sit down and pick a coupling when I write a ficcy, I just go with the flow^^ New Future is an awesome song^^ There were lyrics from a couple diff. songs. New Future was at the beginning, then she, Madoka, and Takuto sing Eternal Snow together (I think that one's my fav., so sad *sniffle*).

Chapter 1 - Light Show…

Usagi stood and bowed at the waist in front of the judges. She had been completely honest with every answer she had given and felt confident that she would be chosen. She had met other girls before the audition and had heard the fake answers they had given, but she didn't want to be like them. She wanted to be herself; she wanted to make it on her own and still remain herself instead of becoming fake like most of the artists these days. There were a few exceptions to this and that was why Usagi liked Full Moon and the Three Lights so much. They didn't put on a façade for their fans they were honest.

The judges were still writing on the papers on the table in front of them as she exited the room. Usagi vaguely noted the smiles on their faces as the door snapped shut behind her. Usagi leaned against the door and took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. Seiya stood twenty feet down the hallway waiting for her. She smiled proudly as she approached him and jumped into his arms when she reached him.

"I take it the interview went well?" He said as he laughed lightly. Usagi beamed at him and nodded.

"Hai, it was great," Usagi said as the smile remained unchanged on her face. "I think I did really good."

"That's great. We'll know in a half an hour when the rest of the interviews are finished," Seiya said as he pried the girl's arms from around his neck and began to walk down the hallway with her. "How about I treat you to some ice cream?" If possible, the grin on Usagi's face grew at the prospect of free ice cream.

"Hai, Seiya-kun!" Usagi said as she latched onto his arm. "Can I have three scoops?" Seiya chuckled.

"You can have as many as you want. You've earned it." He said as he winked at the smiling blond. Usagi blushed slightly but couldn't help but smile at him. He was so cute.

****

"Nani?!" Full Moon cried as she dropped the hairbrush that he had been holding. "I'm going to sing with the Three Light?!"

"Hai, we're going to use it to promote your new single due to release." Ooshige said to the blond girl that sat across from her. "It was they who requested the joint concert. We may have you do a joint album depending on how well the concert hits off." Full Moon squealed in excitement.

"Yatta! I love the Three Lights!" She cried in excitement like some crazed fangirl.

"Mitsuki-chan, you should be used to meeting the big names by now." Ooshige said as a sweatdrop appeared on her forehead. Full Moon was talking a mile-a-minute about the types of songs that she wanted to sing with them, and the outfit she wanted to wear on stage at the concert.

"Oi, Mitsuki!" A male voice broke into the conversation. Full Moon turned to face a man with grayish hair tied back in a short ponytail.

"Takuto!" Full Moon squealed as she heard the voice of the man she loved. She stood up and turned in the direction of the voice, completely ready to fling herself into his arms. He stood in the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest and a scowl on his face. She launched herself onto him and wrapped her arms around him tightly.

"Mitsuki," He said as he pried the girl's arms off of him. "You forgot something." He said with a frown as he held up a huge book bag. A sweatdrop appeared on Mitsuki's forehead as he dropped it to the floor and books spilled out in every direction. Mitsuki laughed nervously as she scratched her head.

"Oops…" She said and a sweatdrop appeared on the back of Takuto's head as well.

"This girl…" He mumbled to himself.

****

"Ne Seiya-kun, do you think I'll get it?" Usagi asked as they sat outside a closed door with all of the other girls that had auditioned. Seiya glanced over at her and couldn't help but smile. She looked like a little kid with that nervous expression on her face.

"Sure you will. With a kawaii face like that, they'd be crazy not to pick you." Seiya said as he bopped her on the head lightly.

"You're just saying that." Usagi whined as she stuck out her bottom lip and pouted. Seiya only laughed and grabbed a streamer of hair. He pulled her into a headlock and began to rub her hair.

"Seiya-kun! Stop!" She cried as she struggled to get free. "Oi! Stop it! You're messing up my hair!" She whined. He let go and leaned back against the wall.

"You have too much energy, odango." Seiya said as he chuckled at her indignant expression. An obnoxious beeping, which sounded like Full Moon's song Smile issued from his pocket as he reached for his cell phone. ''I see Usagi-chan changed my ring again.' He thought vaguely as he pressed the answer button.

"Hai?" He said into the receiver. He sighed in aggravation. "Hai, wakatta. I'll be there after they announce the results. Iie, I'll be there later," He said into the receiver pausing at different intervals. "Hai, hai I'll be there." He said in an annoyed tone into the phone, "Ja na." He said as he hung up and jammed the cell phone back into his pocket. He leaned back against the wall and frowned.

"You have to leave, don't you?" Usagi said as a disappointed smile crossed her lips. It wasn't unusual for him to be called in for a meeting or a photo shoot, but she was upset now because he would be missing the results of her audition. She had worked really hard to prepare for this and he had helped her so by him missing the results, it really hurt her.

"Don't worry, odango. I told them I would be late." He explained nonchalantly.

"Demo, they'll be upset. You can't be late for work." Usagi argued. She knew full well the amount of work was piled upon idols, it was not an easy job. That was why she had assured herself that she would do her best once she was an idol as well. He couldn't just miss whatever they were calling him in for to see her audition results.

"I made a promise to you, odango. I'm not going to run out until I see the results." Seiya said as he put a hand on Usagi's head. Usagi looked at him with a small smile. She had tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Arigato, Seiya-kun. It really means a lot to have you behind me." Usagi said as she leaned over and hugged him tightly. The door that had been closed for so long squeaked open and a man stood in the doorway.

"We are ready to announce the results of the audition. Now, will all of the young ladies that auditioned as well as their agents step inside and have a seat." A young man with shoulder-length blond hair said as he pushed the door completely open.

Usagi stood and took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She glanced back at Seiya, who flashed her a huge smile and stood up behind her. She walked into the room and headed to a seat at the front of the room while Seiya stood against the wall. She didn't really have an agent, but Seiya was her 'trainer' and her companion in this situation so they didn't have any arguments about it. Besides, he was a member of the Three Lights. Usagi had been oblivious to the stares she received from all of the other girls auditioning, but she was uncomfortably aware of it now.

"She'll win just because she knows people." A girl whispered.

"Just because she's with an idol, she thinks she'll be the next big hit." The girl next to her whispered back.

The nervous look on Usagi's face only grew as she sat and gulped. She took another deep breath and let it out slowly. She had to calm her nerves, surely those girls weren't right about that. That was unfair of them to say that, especially when she was in hearing distance of them. Then again, that was probably why they said it...

"Can I have everyone's attention please. I need everyone to quiet down," The same blond man that had led them into the room said above the dull murmur of anticipated whispers. "I would just like to inform you that although we were only able to select one person, this was an amazing audition. It was tough to choose just one person as the spokesperson for our product. Now, I want to introduce you to our chairman, Matsuba Kenji." As he spoke this name, he began to clap so the rest of the room joined in. An man in his mid-forties stood up and scratched his graying hair slightly.

"I must say this was an exceptionally tough choice to make but we have come to a decision," He said as he looked down at the clipboard in his hand to re-read the name. "The young lady that will be our spokesperson is Takuya Momiji." He announced. A red-head that sat at the end of Usagi's row stood up and walked to the front of the room and bowed before Matsuba.

"Doomo arigato gozaimasu," She said as she bowed to the chairman that stood before her. "You will not be disappointed, Matsuba-san. I will work very hard to sell your product."

Usagi felt her heart split in half as she heard the name that had been announced and sank deeper into her seat. The look of shock remained on her face for a full minute before she took in what he had said… she lost… After all of that work, she hadn't passed the audition; they had chosen someone else. Someone prettier than she… and probably more talented as well… She glanced up when she felt a hand on her arm into the eyes of Seiya.

"Gomen, odango," Seiya said as he helped the blond to her feet. She looked crushed; her whole face had crumbled at the announcement of the winner. And he had been so sure that Usagi would win, too. What had gone wrong? Usagi said the interview went very well, so why did they choose someone else? "Don't worry, Usagi-chan, this is only one audition. You'll get the next one, I promise. Besides, it's just for a bunch of commercials, isn't your real goal to be a singer?"

"Hai… demo…" Usagi said as she looked away.

"Let's get out of here, odango." Seiya said as he draped his arm around her shoulders and led her toward the door at the back of the room where people were already exiting through.

Usagi and Seiya walked out to the car without saying anything to each other. Usagi was disappointed that much was evident. How could she not be disappointed, though? She had prepared herself and worked so hard to nail this audition and they had chosen someone else.

"Cheer up, odango. That girl probably knew people in the business so don't let it get to you, ne?" Seiya said nonchalantly as he unlocked her door. Usagi just nodded her head and didn't say anything.

"Kuso…" Seiya mumbled as his phone rang again. He rummaged in his pocket and fished out the phone. "Hai?" He said and sighed. "Wakatta! I'm on my way right now!" He said and hung up the phone. "Gomen odango, I have to go to this meeting. I don't have time to drop you off so you'll have to tag along this time, ne?"

"Hai," Usagi said as she smiled slightly. She had only been in the studio a handful of times, but she had seen some pretty big names each time so it was always fun. She knew he was trying to cheer her up.

"Where is he?!" Yaten grumbled as he leaned back on the sofa. "Baka Seiya… he's always late…"

"What did he say he was doing?" Taiki asked the blonde-haired idol next to him.

"Something about an audition. I'll give you three guesses who he's with, but you'll only need one." Yaten said in an irritated tone. Taiki frowned at the realization. That was where he was all right… He still hadn't learned that the only woman they should be interested in was their princess. She was the only important person to them, and until they found her they had to stay focused on their task.

Full Moon sat across from them with Ooshige and Wakaouji on another sofa as they waited for the dark-haired leader of the Three Lights. On Full Moon's left stood Takuto leaning on the arm of the sofa.

"Do you know when he'll be here?" Ooshige asked tentatively. She was a little nervous with these two because they both seemed to be fuming at the tardiness of their leader. Even Full Moon, a loyal fan of the Three Lights, felt the tension in the room and her normal smile didn't grace her lips.

"If you can't be on time, I don't believe this joint concert will be a success," Wakaouji said with his arms crossed over his chest and a frown on his face. "I thought you were pros? This isn't a job for amateurs."

The door opened and a man with black hair tied back in a long ponytail strolled in, carefree as ever. He sat down on the couch beside Yaten and put his feet up on the table in front of him.

"Did I miss much?" Seiya asked as he took the sunglasses off his face.

"Seiya-kun-" Yaten growled at the taller man.

"You know better than to show up for a meeting late." Taiki said as he looked over at the other member of the group and frowned. He had his hands crossed over his chest and was practically glaring across the table at him. A few minutes later, another man walked into the room and stood behind the Three Lights. He was their producer so he had to be there for the meeting, he had also been late.

"If the meeting had been scheduled, I would have been early." Seiya said casually.

"Enough of this, let's get down to business," Wakaouji said as he stood up. "All the proceeds from this joint concert will be split 50-50 between the two groups. If it is a hit, IE if the concert sells out, we will begin discussing plans for a joint album." He said in an authoritative tone as he handed a manila folder to the producer for the Three Lights. He skimmed through the proposal and nodded his head.

"These plans look good, but I would like to make a few alterations," He said and began to go into the details of the plan.

Full Moon yawned at the dry meeting she was being forced to sit in at. She glanced toward the window and stared out at the fluffy clouds that were floating by in the blue sky. She wanted to go out there… get out of this stuffy room…

"Full Moon!" Ooshige said, snapping the girl out of her daydreams. Full Moon jumped out of her seat and landed on the floor in front of the coffee table.

"Itai… Ooshige-san!" Full Moon whined as she stood and rubbed her sore rear end. "Can't you get my attention in a less painful way?"

"You need to hear this as well, Mitsuki-chan." Ooshige said sternly. She crossed her arms over her chest and a vein throbbed in her forehead. A sweatdrop appeared on Full Moon's head and she scooted away from her mad manager.

"Hai, Ooshige-san!" Full Moon said as she turned her attention back to the meeting going on around her.

"Does it meet all our your conditions?" Wakaouji asked as he finished altering the contract that lay on the coffee table in front of him. They had been there for a half an hour already and Full Moon was growing impatient. She fidgeted in her seat and kept glancing at the clock on the side wall. Seiya had noticed this and couldn't help but compare the blond to Usagi. They both had some of the same almost childlike innocence, though Usagi seemed much more naïve. Even though Full Moon looked only 16 years old she seemed to be a lot older, though she kept some childish qualities, like her impatience. Usagi was the same way; she couldn't sit still for more than ten minutes.

Seiya let his thoughts trail to the blond girl waiting in the lobby and couldn't help be feel guilty. She would be bored out of her mind. He only wished he'd had time to drop her off, there was no sense making her wait for him while he was in a meeting. She had told him she'd take the bus, but he'd insisted that the meeting would only be about ten minutes long. Now here he was a half an hour later and no end in sight. He sighed and slumped forward in his seat.

"Yo, Seiya-kun! Hello!" Yaten's voice echoed in his ear. Seiya was immediately snapped back into reality as he looked over at the blond man beside him. He was holding a clipboard in his hand and a pen in the other, which were both extended in Seiya's direction. He took the offered clipboard and scribbled his name down nonchalantly. He tried to keep that cool exterior so maybe the others wouldn't realize he had zoned out.

Takuto stood up and headed for the door. He had heard enough of the negotiations and now that they were signing the contract, he had no reason to be there. Besides, he needed to get his medicine out of his car.

****

Usagi leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling. Seiya had been in that meeting for an awfully long time. Usagi had a short attention span to begin with so she felt ready to fall asleep at this point. The room was comfortably warm and the cushions were soft and squishy. The only thing that was keeping Usagi from sleep was the rumbling that kept issuing from her stomach.

"Mou… How much longer is this going to take?" Usagi whined as she put both hands over her stomach and groaned inwardly.

"Oi! Who are you and what are you doing here?!" An unfamiliar voice broke into Usagi's thoughts. She glanced toward the door Seiya had gone through for the meeting and saw a man about 22 years old with his hair pulled back in a short ponytail. He had his arms crossed over his chest and there was a guitar strapped to his back.

"Eh? Nani?" Usagi questioned as realization dawned on her. He was the guy that had sang with Full Moon at her recent concert the previous day. "You're Takuto-san ne?" Usagi asked as a smile crossed her lips. She had his solo CDs as well as when he sang with Full Moon. Recently, though, he hadn't been seen playing in concert. There was a rumor that he was ill with something, but Usagi couldn't be sure what it was. They hadn't released to the press exactly what he was suffering from, but it prevented him from singing more often than not. Usagi had been surprised to see him sing at Full Moon's concert the previous day.

"Never mind who I am, who are you?" He demanded of the blond girl as he stared down at her with his arms crossed and his eyes narrowed. The last thing they needed right now was some fangirl leaking the joint album of the Three Lights and Full Moon before they had a chance to work on it.

"Tsukino Usagi. I've waiting for Seiya-kun. He didn't have time to drop me off after my audition so he brought me with him." Usagi explained to the older man as the smile remained on her face.

"Audition?" He questioned as he raised and eyebrow in her direction. "So you're the reason we had to wait so long to begin the meeting."

"Demo, I told Seiya-kun to leave when he received the call," Usagi said with a slight frown. "He wouldn't listen to me, though. So you can't blame his tardiness on me. It was his decision, not mine."

"Here's some friendly advice, dumpling girl. Quit right now. It will save you a lot of pain. You're not cut out for this business." He told her genuinely. The smile faded from Usagi's face as she listened to his 'advice'.

"What do you mean by that?" Usagi asked as her face fell. She had only met him a minute ago and he was telling her to give up on her dreams. That just wasn't right. "You don't know anything about me so how can you say that I'm not cut out for it?"

"If you choose to go after your dreams, it will only end in disappointment." Takuto said bitterly as he brushed his bangs from his eyes.

"I don't believe you," Usagi said calmly as she looked him straight in the eye. "I will regret it for the rest of my life if I give up on my dream without even trying. It's taken me a long time to find my passion and now that I know what I love to do the most, I'm going to work my hardest to become a singer. If I don't, I'll always wonder 'what if'." Takuto frowned at her and began to walk toward her.

"Whatever, but don't say I didn't warn you." Takuto said as he leaned close to her. He straightened back up and headed for the door. He was about to grasp the doorknob when a voice behind him made him stop in his tracks.

"I thought that meeting would never end," A female voice said as the door Takuto came out of opened. "Takuto, can we go get something to eat now? I'm starving."

Usagi stood up and stared at the blond woman that stood in the doorway. She had long blond hair done up in two dumpling-shaped buns with the rest of her hair falling down her back and curling elegantly at the bottoms.

"Full Moon-san!" Usagi nearly yelled as she saw the young idol framed in the doorway.

"Nande? Who are you?" Full Moon asked as she looked at the blond girl that stood across from her. She was dressed in stylish clothes with her golden blond hair done in two dumpling shaped buns. From her appearance, she was a fan of Full Moon's. "Ooshige-san, did she win a contest or something?"

"Gomen nasai!" A voice broke in as Seiya stepped out from behind Full Moon and draped his arm lazily around Usagi's shoulders. "Odango-chan's with me. I didn't have time to drop her off at her house after her audition."

"Can I have your autograph?" Usagi asked as she took a step toward the blond idol. "I love your music. You are such an inspiration. Every time I hear Eternal Snow I want to cry." A sweatdrop and a blush crept across Full Moon's face as Usagi effectively worshipped the young idol.

"Oi, odango. I think Full Moon-san is ready to leave. Let's get something to eat, ne?" Seiya said as he stood next to the odangoed girl and put his hand on her shoulder again. Full Moon had finished scribbling her name on a piece of paper that had been lying on the coffee table and handed it to Usagi.

"Since you two are going out for food, how about we join you?" Full Moon said with a smile at the shorter blond. Sure she had just met Usagi, but she seemed like a really sweet girl.

"That would be amazing." Usagi squealed in happiness. She regained her composure and reached her hand up to grab Seiya's that was still on her shoulder.

****

The four people were sitting at a table in one of the more up-class restaurants that was preferred by many of the big name idols and actors and such. Usagi and Full Moon sat talking about their favorite foods as they skimmed the menus and waited for someone to come and take their orders. On the other hand, Seiya and Takuto were just staring across the table at each other without saying and thing.

"So what's your dream, Usagi-chan?" Full Moon asked after she ordered her food. She set her menu down and looked across the table with genuine interest at her new friend.

"I want to sing," Usagi said with a soft smile. "It's my dream, to become a singer. I didn't know what I was passionate about until the first time I heard you sing. I heard your song Myself on the radio and I knew that was what I wanted to do. Your music touched my soul, especially Eternal Snow. When I listen to it, I feel that you were searching for someone very far away. Like you were trying to bring him back to you. I hope you found him." Usagi said as she took a sip from her drink.

"I found him…" Full Moon said as a sad smile crossed her lips and a single tear slid down her cheek. Usagi glanced up at the silence of her new friend and saw the water that dripped from her chin. Usagi's smile faded instantly as she realized she had said something to upset Full Moon.

"… gomen, Full Moon-san," Usagi said as a sudden realization dawned on her. Something had happened to the person she had been searching for. "I didn't mean to bring up painful memories…" Full Moon shook her head and a small smile graced her lips.

"Don't be sorry," Full Moon said as she smiled at Usagi. "I'm not sorry at all. I wouldn't trade our time together for anything in the world. I treasure each and every memory that we shared. Even though his body is gone, he's still with me here." She said as she placed a hand over her heart.

"Ahh!!" A shrill scream ripped through the air from across the restaurant, interrupting the two couples' dinner. All heads turned in the direction of the scream. Standing in the middle of a table was a feminine looking monster that was scantily clad.

"Nani!?" Usagi cried as she stood up and knocked her chair over backward. "Minna-san! Run!" Usagi grabbed Full Moon's hand and ran toward the nearest exit of the building. "Keep going, I'll catch up!" Usagi shouted as she headed back into the building.

"What are you doing?" Takuto demanded as he caught Usagi's hand before she could re-enter the building.

"I'm going to help the others!" Usagi shouted as she yanked her hand out of his. She ran into the restaurant but didn't notice the person that had followed her. She glanced around and saw no one as she reached into her pocket and pulled out her brooch.

"Moon Eternal Make-UP!" She shouted as she held the brooch high above her head and said her henshin phrase.

"N… nani?" Takuto stammered as the lights bathed him while Usagi's transformed. "That odango girl is Sailor Moon?"
