Just a quick note, there's a massive flashback area, so what Constellation is saying is in bold while the flashbacks are in italics
Moon stopped, confused, as Constellation and Ami continue to yell at each other.
"Woah, woah, woah," Comet started, putting a hand on Constellation's shoulder, "What is going on here?"
"The fricking creature is drowning her!" Ami shouted, her hands flew up in frustration.
"She can handle it! She's not a big baby!" Constellation yelled back. Asteroid gives her a half-snort.
A big burst of light interrupted their fighting. It came from the middle of the lake, and oddly enough, Moon knew, she just knew, that whatever was attacking had just been defeated. But the light came from the middle of the lake, and Ami did mention Meteor was here too.
"Oh my god. Please tell me she's not underwater," Mars said, crossing her arms.
Constellation ignored her, and stared at the spot Meteor jumped into.
One..
She will give her three seconds. If Meteor doesn't come back up to the surface, she swear, Meteor is not leaving Usagi's house for the next three weeks.
Two..
But that's none of her business anymore, right? They were mortal enemies! Who cares if Nessa died...
Three..
For some reason, that thought did not sit well in Constellation's stomach. Before anyone can stop her, she jumped into the lake and swam as fast as she can.
Immediate darkness surrounded her and the soft glow of the moonlight dissappeared in seconds. She squinted through her eyes as she tried to find Meteor. She could feel movements behind her, but right now? She really don't care. No matter if it is the enemy, or Asteroid, or Comet, she doesn't give any thought to it.
Her objective was to find Meteor, and won't stop until she did. Through the darkness of the water, she could make out a slight glimmer underwater.
She found it shocking that the glimmer was a shell necklace. A pink one, to be more specific. She had a blue one too, a long time ago. It was from when she was 3, Nessa and her parents got them matching necklaces from another show they used to watch about magical mermaids. Sadly, she lost hers when her was packing for Tokyo.
With strength she never knew she had, she grabbed Meteor and swam toward the surface.

They all sigh in relief as they saw both girls' heads pop up from underwater. Both Comet and Asteroid had tried going under water, but lost both Constellation and Meteor in seconds since the lake was so dirty and hard to see in. It's a wonder how Constellation found Meteor.
Everyone offered to help Constellation. But she ignored them, like there was no one else in the world but her and her not-so-much-breathing friend.
"Does anyone know CPR?" Constellation said. The tiredness was clear. Asteroid got started on that as Constellation pried Meteor's right hand open. She tossed the mercury henshin pen into Ami's general direction. She was about to walk away but something caught her attention.
In Meteor's palm, was something glimmering. It glimmered like Meteor's pink shell necklace. Constellation didn't even recognize it until she had it in her palms.
It was her shell necklace.

"Asteroid, that's enough." Nebula's voice came out small and weak. Meteor's cold and lifeless form remains, well, lifeless. Something in Nebula's voice made Asteroid stop.
"No! No, we can't stop!" Mercury protested, feeling extremely guilty. Constellation did not know what happened, since the next few minutes became a blur for her.
She first felt a flurry of emotions. Hate, anger, sadness, guilt, and many other emotions. Unable to stop her tears, now mercilessly destroying her not-so-waterproof mascara.
Before she knew it, she slapped Meteor. Then words started pouring out of her mouth without thinking.
"No! You can not die!" Constellation shouted.
"You promised to be my maid of honor!"
Nessa and Izzy giggled as they dressed the dolls up in wedding gowns. Dazzled with jewels, a male doll now appeared, controlled by Izzy's left hand. The male doll took one of the female doll's hand.
After a short wedding ceremony, Nessa and Izzy were eating cookies when Izzy turned to Nessa, suddenly serious.
"Nessa, would you promise, and I mean forever ever promise, to be my maid of honor?" Izzy asked, taking both of Nessa's hands. Nessa smiled, and replied with a mouth full of cookies.
"Of course! As long as you be my!"
"You promised me to find me my own Mamo-chan!"
"He is sooooo cute!" Izzy said with a lovesick smile. Nessa giggled and elbowed Izzy.
"C'mon, Haruka is wayyyy cuter! Especially with her suit from the Sailor Stars season," Nessa replied. Izzy raised an eyebrow.
"Imagine what your parents would think if they heard you..." Izzy said, half joking.
"I don't really care. Plus, she's technically male... not really," Nessa replied.
"Plus, you do know that Mamoru is taken, right?" Nessa asked, pouting. Izzy smirked.
"It's Mamo-chan, not Mamoru! And of course I know he's taken," Izzy said with a frown.
"It's ok! I promise you to find your Mamo-chan!"
"You promised me you wouldn't lie to me..."
Izzy pouted.
"You said you would wear the necklace today," Izzy said, glaring at Nessa.
"I'm sorry! I overslept and forgot!" Nessa said, practically begging Izzy for forgiveness.
"I promise! I'll never, never ever lie again!" Nessa said. Izzy smiled.
"Okay!"
"And yet you lied, you liar...
(*return to normal story style)
"And yet you lied..." Constellation repeated. She put her hands to her face, attempting, but failing a lot, to hide her emotions.
Comet put a hand on her shoulder. A sign to Constellation. Everyone glared, as a creature floated just above the surface of the lake.
"I am Lady Mer*! Neptune of Lady Mistress's senshis. Let the death of Princess Celestial and my fellow senshi, Lady La Glace* be a warning to you all! Do not try to stop us and our plans!" Lady Mer, the person on the water said, before disappearing through a portal, much like Mistress had done before.

For "Mer", refer to the bottom of chapter 16.
(Lady) La Glace, (Lady) the Ice Cream in french.
