Okay, major tear works now. Everything is going to come crashing down on Ami's perfect world & the Silver Millennium. I don't own Sailor Moon.

Watching Serenity and Endymion dance happily, a 15-year old Ami couldn't help, but feel depressed that she hadn't been able to get in touch with Zoisite for a whole year.

Frowning, she sat by her friends, who were as depressed as she. Their loves have seem to disappear as well. No one knew anything, but every time they brought it up, Endymion would become quiet and shake his head, saying 'No one knows what happened.'

Sure, many men have attempted to ask Ami out, but her heart was set on Zoisite. Sighing, she stood up. Three pairs of eyes followed her.

"Where are you going, Ami?" Minako asked.

"Just outside. Don't worry." Ami smiled weakly, walking out onto the balcony. But she stopped, seeing Endymion and Serenity on it.

'I really shouldn't eavesdrop, but I want to hear what they are saying.' So against her conscience, she listened in.

Endymion hugged Serenity. "Metaria is not human. She is the collective energy of human hatred. Beryl is a sorcereress. She wants to rule the Earth and Moon by using Metaria's power. We must do something or the Moon will fall. The massive energy of Metalia must be neutralized to stop Beryl's plan. I need your help, Princess Serenity. Do you believe me?

Serenity leaned into his chest. "Yes…"

Endymion lifted her chin up. "Serenity…"

Serenity looked into his eyes. "Endymion…"

But Ami turned before she could intrude on a private moment. But something Endymion said worried her. "Who is Metaria?" she wondered out loud, but wasn't able to ask anyone else because the bell was rang.

Running in, Ami instantly found her friends. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"The Kingdom is under attack! We have to fight!" Rei shouted, lifting her hand up to transform.

The others followed and the four still in-training scouts ran out to meet the enemy.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Mercury shouted, standing in a defensive pose.

Laughter was heard through the smoke. "Don't be stupid, Sailor brats!"

Mercury felt her heart stop at the voice. It sounded so familiar. 'But it can't be…he's on the Earth's side, right?'

But her hopes were punctured as soon as four figures stepped out from the smoke. Her eyes widened. "Zoisite?" she weakly cried, not believing her eyes.

But it was true. Wearing a dark blue outfit, her love stood, holding a shield and a sword. But what hurt the most was his eyes. As many times as Mercury had stared into them, they only held love & compassion. They now held hate and coldness.

The others seemed to be having problems realizing their loves were the enemies. But Mercury just focused on Zoisite. "But why?" she asked, stepping forward.

"Because we are tired of you Moon people living long lives & wish to end them!" He flew at her with his sword out.

Mercury was still shocked that she didn't move in time. The sword sideswiped her side, making a slight cut, but she still cried in surprise and pain.

Realizing what she had to do, she put her hands together, tears forming, as a large bubble formed. As the bubble gathered energy, she spun around and it rested in front of her hands. She then sent the bubble out, and it turned into hundreds of bubbles.

Zoisite was confused and blinded. "What's this!" he screeched, not paying attention.

The next thing he knew, Mercury kicked him in the gut, sending him flying back. He skidded a few times, air knocked out of his lungs.

He saw Mercury's face in his, tears falling down her cheeks. 'Why is she crying?' he thought and had a flash of something familiar.

"Please, Zoi, don't do this." Her voice was so sad and the name she called him brought another flash of memories back.

"Who are you and what are you doing to me?" he asked, pushing back.

Mercury landed on her feet, but continued to cry, walking over. "Please Zoi, remember me. I know you must be confused, but just listen." She grabbed his hands and brought them together.

"No!" he cried, swiping his sword. It hit her right in the gut. She stumbled, but continued to hold on, not doing anything about the blood she was loosing.

"Please listen. For a few moments." She begged, tears falling onto Zoisite's hands.

Against his own will, he nodded slowly. "Fine. Just a moment."

Mercury grinned weakly, blood running down her leg. "Thank you." She took a deep breath, but didn't let go. "My name is Sailor Mercury, but you also know me as Princess Ami of Mercury. Remember the ring you gave me two years ago? Remember the promise to always be with me? Remember how much you love me and how much I love you? Please remember." She begged, sobbing by now, but not letting go.

Zoisite watched with grim curiosity, but he couldn't help but feel like bringing her into his arms and making her stop crying.

'Why would I do that?' he cursed himself. 'She's the enemy…right?' he thought, staring at her.

She continued to sob until a blast was sent their way. She realized only one of them would live, so she shielded Zoisite with her body, taking the whole blast!

Both of them were sent backwards, Mercury acquiring many cuts and bruises. When they finally landed, Zoisite was shocked that this girl, his enemy, had shielded him.

"Why did you do that?" he asked, staring at the girl as she took shallow breaths.

"Because…I…love you…so much…Zoisite…" she gasped out, eyes bloodshot.

Zoisite watched her and pulled her into his lap. "You are a stupid girl for doing that. You could have saved yourself, but you put yourself in danger for me, your enemy."

Mercury laughed weakly, eyes drooping. "You are not my enemy. You could never be. Even if you hurt me anyway you can, I still know I love you with all my heart and somewhere, somehow, I know you love me as well." She gasped, clutching her chest.

Zoisite watched as a pendant appeared on her neck. Staring at it, he fingered it, then as if a switch was hit, all his memories came flying back to him.

He blinked a couple of times, then gasped, looking down at Mercury. "Ami, my love! You'll be fine. Please don't leave me."

Mercury weakly smiled. "I'm so happy you remembered. Please be safe and know I have and always will love you." She slowly began to close her eyes.

Zoisite began to feel a stab of panic. "No, Ami. Don't die. Please, I need you so much." But she didn't answer him. He felt for a pulse, but felt nothing. Sorrow and anger coursed through his blood as he held the dead girl to his chest. "Ami, please come back. I love you so much." He felt tears appear, but didn't do anything to stop them.

Holding her, he stood up, tears running down his face. He walked her over to the rose garden, or what was left of it, and placed her on the very bench they had meet so many years ago.

Standing up, he had anger in his eyes. "I will avenge you, my love. And then I'll find a way back to you. I promise." He strode into the heat of the battle, knowing full well he would not come out alive.

And you know the rest. I can't believe I wrote something that heartfelt. Well, actually, I can. So done with the Silver Millennium and into the present. Please RR
