SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 2 out, this is Chapter 3 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Pairings: Mainly Tieria/Sasha, Allelujah/Marie, Lockon Jr./Anew, Billy/Sumeragi, Patrick/Kati

Standard BS Disclaimers: I do not own Sailor Moon, Gundam 00 or the pairings. If I did, the other Senshi would be as powerful as Sailor Moon and kicking MOTD ass more often and VEDA would have least an anti-hacker program installed. The only thing I do own is the plot.

Chapter 3: Crystal


Crystals have always played a role throughout Tieria's and Sasha's relationship; be it in their first incarnation or their present.


During the Silver Millennium...

Besides the crystal standing harp Solon had gifted Athene, he had also presented her with numerous sapphire and turquoise ornaments as love tokens.

Athene's most important and precious item was, in reality, the twin gen engagement ring with an infinity sign engraving with a single obsidian and turquoise embedded on the inner sides of the the larger curves.


During the 21th century rebirth...

Satoshi, had over the years, given Ami quite a number of crystals and stones sacred to Constellation Virgo.

Before he headed for Germany, Satoshi had left a farewell present for Ami in the form of an uncut kyanite crystal as a symbol for his undying loyalty.

Throughout the years, Satoshi had given Ami a series of jewelry as birthday gifts; ranging from peridot necklaces, small red jasper elephants ornaments as paperweights, and green jade bracelets.


During the Gundam 00 timeline...

In-between the four year break with Celestial Being retreating to rebuild their forces and lick their wounds, Sasha had also completed her double psychology degree during that time.

So, when Tieria came to her during Lockon's death anniversary unable to sleep, she talked him through his grief. Doctor Moreno had also prescribed prazosin to the purple-haired Innovate. Sasha took a step further and gave him a handful of obsidian arrowheads to place by his pillow as a grounding medium.

As if in response to the gift, Tieria had given Sasha a lapis lazuli choker as a return gift for her birthday.


In Crystal Tokyo...

"You should take a break, Sasha." Tieria refilled the Ice Senshi's coffee mug.

"I'm sorry for worrying you." Silver Sailor Mercury gave her lover a grateful smile.

"Sasha," Tieria turned the Senshi to face him. "I know I've asked this of you before." he went down on one knee. "But I want to ask you again." he presented the ice wielder an engagement ring with a pair of snowflake obsidian stones embedded on it. "Will you marry me?"
