Disclaimers: This is a crossover between Sailor Moon and Danny Phantom. I do not own these two shows. Sailor Moon is written by Naoko Takeuchi in manga form and aired as a series by Toei Animation and TV Asahi in Japan and by Kodansha Comics in North America. Danny Phantom is created by Butch Hartman and aired as an American animated action adventure television series by Nickelodeon in 2004.

The Reincarnates, Jadeite, and Jazz waited patiently for the Senshi to give their excuses to their mutual friend, although distant for Jazz and Sam. They really want to know what had happen for the Senshi, especially the Inners, to try and change Serena. Serena, on her part, just laid her head on Danny's chest as Danny's hand held her close to him. He was also intensely watching the Senshi closely just in case one of them starts something with HIS girlfriend. It wasn't long until one of the OUTERS came over and knelt down in front of Danny and Serena. "I can't speak for the Inners," said Haruka with her rough feminine voice, "But, I am sorry for insulting you when I was Uranus."

"What do you mean," asked Serena who was looking into dark blue eyes.

"You may not have the memories of us during the Heart Snatchers incident," said Michiru who also came towards the couple and Haruka, "But, we have been very harsh to you when you were Sailor Moon."

"We were so caught up in our mission to find the talismans," said Haruka, "And to stop Sailor Saturn from awaken that we had forgotten that you, along with your past lives, are a good soul with a pure heart."

"You were trying to stop my awakening," questioned a confused Hotaru.

"Yes," said Michiru with a guilty expression before explaining, "Our mission was to find the lost talismans and to stop Sailor Saturn from awakening. Because during the Silver Millennium, Sailor Saturn would ONLY be awaken if the world was ending by an evil that the Sailor Senshi could not handle and would need to completely obliterate the entire planet to stop said evil."

"Though," said Haruka, "We didn't know that another Saturnian was reborn as well as you, as Hotaru Tomoe, was just a normal girl until Saturn was awakening during the Heart Snatchers fiasco."

A flash of the color red and black illuminated behind Serena and Hotaru's eyes as they relieved the first ever dream they ever had received. It was the same big red flaming blob that Serena saw Hotaru jump into as a Sailor Senshi. Both Serena and Hotaru shivered as they thought about that FIRST ever dream they had. Danny looked worried as he wrapped his arms around Serena to get her to warm up while Kwan looked at Hotaru in worry. They knew that Serena was having memories being returned to her, but Hotaru as well? Keeping an eye on his little sister, he tuned back to the conversation at hand. It was, however, Tucker who asked the question in all of the Reincarnates' minds. "Hotaru," questioned Tucker, "Serena?"

"Yes," answered the two, though softly.

"You shivered just now," pointed out Tucker, "Why?"

"Sorry," said Hotaru, "But, I think Serena and I know what Haruka and Michiru were talking about. We just remembered the first ever dream, or memory in this case, and it was about a giant red flaming blob."

"That would be Pharaoh 90," said Haruka who looked perturbed at what Hotaru confessed to them.

"I also told this to Danny as well," said Serena with a shiver, "But, I could feel the heat and energy that surrounded Hotaru and I in that blob."

Danny just nodded his head as Serena cuddled against him on the chair. He didn't really TELL everyone that when she told him, he was actually Phantom. Just thinking about that day made Danny also remember that he forgot to tell the others about his secret identity when Serena became catatonic once more. Danny inwardly shrugged as he focused more on comforting his girlfriend until, what he thought, was another Outer Senshi coming towards her. He was feeling restless when this Outer came towards Serena and him, but he knew that this person was about to apologize or was about to make up excuses for treating her badly in her second past life. He could also see Jadeite eyeing this Senshi with weariness as well. "Hime," said Setsuna who knelt down in front of the couple, "I have wronged you in so many ways, especially one instance."

"What are you talking about, Setsuna," questioned Makoto.

"It was I who was the one who sent Small Lady to you during the Black Moon Clan incident," said Setsuna, "However, I was tasked in protecting Small Lady, and how to protect her was to send her to you."

"How does bringing uh… her…. to Serena make that fiasco your fault," asked Minako who believed Small Lady's real name would trigger something in Serena.

"As you know, I am tasked to guard the Time Gates," said Setsuna, "Yet, I appeared into the Time Gates and grew close to one child in the whole multiverse. That child was the potential daughter of Serenity-hime and Endymion-ōji."

"Wait a minute," exclaimed Rei, "Potential daughter?!"

Setsuna nodded her head as she explained that there were multiverses of potential outcomes for Serena's past lives. However, because Setsuna fell in love with the daughter of a potential outcome, Setsuna confessed that she was pushing towards that outcome more and more without viewing the others. It looked like the perfect utopia, but Setsuna digressed that she also didn't see the facial expression upon the one she TRULY gave her oath to. Everyone in the room just gaped at Setsuna's confession because with that, the Reincarnates, Jadeite, and Jazz knew that Serena was emotionally manipulated into a false future with a false husband. Danny tightened his hold onto his girlfriend, eyes dangerously about to flash toxic green at what he heard from this Senshi. Setsuna, on her part, looked very guilty and forlorn about what she had done in the past. Serena leaned up towards Danny's ear and whispered something to him. He, in turn, stared at Serena as if looking if it was alright to ask, but Serena just smiled before putting her head on his chest once more. "So, Serena wants to know if this potential child has pink hair," said Danny.

"Y-Yes, this child does," said Setsuna.

"Then, yeah," said Danny with a glare, "Serena stayed with me for a while and told me mostly all of those bad memories she received. That pink-haired child that you pushed towards her was so spoiled and would insult Serena throughout her stay with her. Also, this child was apparently treated FAR better from the Inners than their own Princess."

"Yes," said Setsuna with a thoughtful and guilty look, "I have seen her displeased behavior when she came back to learn to become a Sailor Senshi."

"So, let me get this straight," said Jadeite.

"Oh, please do," said a sarcastic Rei.

"Ignoring that," said Jadeite as his eyes were more focused on Setsuna, "You, the Time Guardian, who was also tasked in PROTECTING Serenity-hime, FORCED said hime to lean more towards a future that YOU wanted to happen instead of letting the so-called fates and destiny run their course?"

"Yes," confessed Setsuna.

"You know that is traitorous to your post, Time Guardian," pointed out Jadeite, "And almost borderline treason towards her Highness."

Setsuna just sighed sadly and nodded her head. She did some choices that were WAY above what she was supposed to be doing at the Time Gates. However, looking back, she didn't understand just WHY she would do something like that. Setsuna looked back at everyone and winced as Danny's eyes became more icy blue than his actual eye color. Danny, on his part, really wanted to unleash his ice powers on these Senshi and tell them what for, but if he did, he would risk freezing his friends and his girlfriend. Danny took a deep breath before burying his head in the crook of Serena's neck when Setsuna went back to her place, which was next to Haruka. However, Tucker, Sam, and Danny, upon hearing Setsuna's title, just thought about a certain time ghost in the ghost zone before tuning into the Senshi's theory on what happened with Setsuna. "Setsuna-san," questioned Ami.

"Yes," answered Setsuna wearily.

"Do you know WHY you have done what you did to Us… Serena," questioned Ami.

"I do not know," said Setsuna, "But, I believe someone else has manipulated me in doing that."

"Our enemy," asked Haruka with narrowed eyes.

"It could have been," pondered Setsuna, "But, for so long?"

"Well, we DID think that hime and Endymion were betrothed until we were shown otherwise," piped up Minako.

"And if is," said Serena in her quiet voice, "You have nothing to feel guilty about. You were subtly being controlled, and with that, I forgive you on that past grievance."

"You are far too kind, hime," said Setsuna with a gentle smile, "However, I will not abuse this chance at having another shot at having your friendship."

"Setsuna is right," murmured Danny in Serena's ear, "You are too kind and forgiving."

'That's why you are here," murmured Serena back, "You'll protect me, won't you?"

Danny just hugged Serena close to him, even if it wasn't that possible with how close the both were already. However, he managed somehow until another Senshi stepped up. This time, three of the Senshi came up together before kneeling down in front of Danny and Serena. Everyone, besides the lone Senshi who didn't come up just yet, raised an eyebrow at the united front. Of course, the Reincarnates were there to stop the insults and shoot questions back to the Senshi, like with what Jadeite did with Setsuna's position as the Time Guardian. "I… I am not sure where to start," confessed Ami.

"Same here," said Minako, "I KNOW that Us… uh… Serena is our first friend in our reincarnated life."

"She was the one who accepted me even when I showed up to save your guys butts," said Minako with a tease at the end.

"She was the one who treated me like a person instead of a lonely genius," said Ami softly.

"She was also the one who accepted me when there were horrible rumors against me," said Makoto.

"Then, why would you tell her to study more," questioned Kwan to Ami.

"Or tell her to be more graceful," questioned Hotaru to Makoto.

"Or agree to anything one person said about her faults," questioned Dash with a glare.

Ami, Minako, and Makoto winced at the accusing eyes as they thought back to WHEN they actually agreed or said those things at Usagi before she became Serena. Thinking back, they couldn't find ANY pinpointed time. Sure, they heard Rei all the time complaining and the three agreed to her complaints. Yet, in the end, Usagi was their first friend. Even Rei, despite her complaints, said that she wouldn't have her any other way as well. They guessed that as time went by, they tried to find more of their lost Princess in Usagi and didn't stop to think that maybe Usagi was her own person as well. The three quickly stood up and sat back down on their seats, not once giving a reason as to WHY they did what they did. Raising an eyebrow was the only thing that Tucker did before turning to see Danny's reaction. 'And of course,' thought Tucker with an inward sigh, 'Danny is mostly having a cuddling session with Serena while this clears up.'

"Nothing to say, Mars," questioned Jadeite.

"I… may have had a hand in listing all of Us… I mean, Serena's faults," said Rei, "But, could you blame me? Serena was just revealed as the Princess, but as time went by, I couldn't even SEE an ounce of Serenity-hime in her. I mean, she wasn't acting like a Princess at all… always being late to our meetings, always being late to the fights, being lazy, not studying…"

"So what," said Sam finally, "You listed her faults, but as Tuck said a while ago, she's her own person, not JUST this long forgotten Princess. So, what if she's the reincarnated of that Princess? It doesn't mean she is in THIS life. Capiche?"

"Wow, Sam," said Danny and Tucker together.

"What," questioned Sam.

"You defended Serena," said Tucker, "I never knew you had it in you."

"Yeah, well," said Sam, "It's almost like what you were doing to me, just with the dreams, and I am sick and tired of people believing that you are someone that you are not."

With that, Sam crossed her arms over her chest as she glared fiercely at anyone who would say otherwise. The Reincarnates, Jadeite, and Jazz just sighed because that was typical Sam behavior. Even though THEY weren't the ones doing the dreams, Sam was still adamant that whatever she was shown was NOT true. The Sailor Senshi, on the other hand, blinked at Sam in surprise. She just refuted whatever Rei was about to complain about once more AND revealed that she didn't believe that she was a reincarnation of someone long ago. Even if she DID believe, she wouldn't let something silly as reincarnation to tell her how to live her life. As she said, she's her own person. "Very well said, Sam," said Jazz with a nod of approval.

"Since everything is technically resolved… for now," said Michiru with a pointed look at Rei and the quiet Inners before addressing everyone, "Shall we share what we actually KNOW as fact?"

"Of course, Neptune," said Jadeite for his group.

"Now, then," said Haruka, "What do you know, Nega-scum?"

"Nega," started Serena.

"Scum," finished Danny with a questioning tone.

"Is that another insult," questioned Hotaru.

"It's fine, my friends," said Jadeite, "It's just who I am. No insult at all. addresses everyone else Now, girls. Do you believe that King Endymion IV is alive?"

AN: Well, more or less, the apologies and reasons behind the guilt are revealed in this chapter. ヽ(ﾟ∀｡)ﾉ I believe that there are multiple multiverses in the Anime world, and not just the ONE that Setsuna let the Inners, Usagi, and Mamoru enter during the Black Moon Clan fiasco. So, that was why I had written Setsuna's part as such. (∩_∩) It will also explain about Chibi-Usa and not using her during this story though. Right? (ーー;) Anyways, the Inners better think long and hard on how they treated Usagi as EVERYONE finally gets down to business… sharing information. (・∀・) So, happy reading and see ya next chapter! |∀･)ジ
