Previously On Sailor Moon Shooting Starlights:

Uranus punches the wall and cried out angrily, "Where in the hell are they?"

Then 15 minutes later, after no response or a reaction from Luna, Artemis, the Inner Senshi, nor Usagi, who surprisingly had stopped eating, the silence was broken by a loud outburst from all seven of them as they cried out, "They're back?"

Taiki holds out a hand to Usagi, smiling politely at her and said, "Hello, my name is Aomori Akira and these two are my sisters, Shina and Hikari."

Seiya sighed, watching as Usagi lowers her head down to look down at her lap again and said, "You know what since you're sad I'm going to cheer you up."

Then a few minutes later as Usagi started to drift into another dreamless sleep with a couple of stray tears running down her face, she whispered sadly, but quietly into the darkness of the room, "Happy Birthday, Seiya."

"What the hell happened to our apartment?"

Taiki sweatdropped, watching as Yaten gawked at the damage done within their apartment while they were gone and said, "Really, Yaten? No need to raise your voice and cuss like that."

Seiya said, "Yeah, Shrimp, since it's obvious that Haruka and the other Outer Senshi were here from the fact Haruka would punch a hole into the wall like that right there."

Seiya gestures over to the hole in the wall beside one of the paintings that Taiki bought during their last visit to Earth, smirking as Yaten started to curse at Haruka for damaging the wall and said, "But hey, on the bright side, Shrimp, I still get to eat my delicious birthday cake that Taiki made me."

Yaten snorted, flipping her hair as she snapped around to face Seiya and said, "Oh please, Seiya, even though you just turned 18-fucking-years-old doesn't mean that I'll let you continue to slip with making fun of my height! Because you look like a-."

Taiki cuts Yaten off sharply as she lets out a sigh tiredly while rubbing her temple for the thousandth time that day because of her comrades' childish behavior, "Yaten, just give it a rest for tonight, please. Seiya, go get a broom and help me clean up the glass. Yaten, go and throw out anything else that was broken."

Yaten whined exaggeratedly as she gives Taiki her best puppy dog face, "But, Taiki-poo, you can't possibly force me to do that type of stuff. I'm just too fragile anddelicate for crying out loud. So don't punish me for Seiya's stupidity of bringing us back here in the first place to be killed by Haruka."

Seiya takes off her jean jacket and said as she makes a move to lunge at Yaten, "Why you little sawed-off piece of shi-."

Taiki sighed again, grabbing a hold of Seiya's arm to prevent her from beating Yaten into a pulp and said, "Seiya, not now. We have to clean this mess up, remember?"

Seiya sighed, bowing her head down and said, "Ok, Taiki-mama."

Seiya smirked as she disappeared into the kitchen to get a broom once noticing the annoyed look on Taiki's face at her nickname for her, laughing to herself.

Taiki said, "I'll get you later for that, Seiya, since your birthday's going to end anyway. But, Yaten, stop whining and start cleaning already."

Yaten pouts as Taiki disappeared into the kitchen also, starting to pick up all of the rubble in the living room and throwing it into the trash bag as she cried out with a slight whine.

"Taiki-poo! You're so mean to me! You don't love me!"

A week later, Usagi skipped over to the airport to see Mamoru off, smiling as she held a small present in her hand despite how much pain she was feeling on the inside about her beloved leaving for America.

Usagi sighed in relief once she made it to the inside of the airport, looking around for her lover before spotting him by the window and squealed when she sees him before crying out with glee as she ran over to him, "Mamo-chan!"

Mamoru looked up, watching as his petite angelic girlfriend ran over to him and smiled, hugging her as she ran into his arms with a chuckle.

"Hello, Usako, you just made it on time."

Usagi looked up at Mamoru with a forced smile on her face and said, "Of course I did, Mamo-chan! I wouldn't miss this for the world! You're finally following your dream!"

Mamoru said, "I know, but are you sure that you'll be okay until I get back from America? I might not be able to write and call you as much as I usually do, so I hope that you-."

Usagi said cheerfully, "Oh, don't worry, Mamo-chan! I understand since Minako-chan's been busy working on her new album, Ami-chan with her studies, Mako-chan with learning new recipes that would surely be delicious, and Rei-chan with her TV show. So don't worry about me since people always become busy sometimes in life."

Mamoru looked at Usagi worriedly and said, "Are you sure, Usako? I can always-."

Usagi shakes her head rapidly, holding back her tears and cried out as she hands him the present, "No! Don't do that, Mamo-chan! You've worked so hard to get to this point, so follow your dreams and go! Don't worry about me because I'm very happy for you."

Mamoru smiled, sitting his bag down on the floor before wrapping his arms around Usagi tenderly and kisses her passionately, pulling away when they both heard a woman's voice announce that all people going to Harvard may board the plane now.

Mamoru picks his bag back up, looking down at Usagi with a smile and said as he caresses her face lovingly, "Arigato, Usako. I'll try to call you as soon as I get to Harvard, OK? Aishiteru."

Usagi nodded her head and said, "Okay, demo don't open that present, until you get settled onto your flight, OK?"

Mamoru said, "I will. I'll see you hopefully when Christmas comes around. Demo I've got to go now."

Usagi smiled 'happily' at him, pecking his lips and said, "I hope that you get to America safely, Mamo-chan."

Mamoru turns around once giving Usagi one last hug, walking away.

Usagi bites back a sob as she watched as her lover disappeared into the crowd, wanting so badly to call him back, but doesn't, and turns away, walking out of the airport sadly without noticing the four worried gazes following after her from behind a nearby building as she walked away to go and hang out at the park, alone.

"Do you think that she'll be OK?"

"I don't know, Mako-chan, demo we'll just have to try and make time for her just to keep her mind off of him."

The Inner Senshi watched as their princess disappeared around a corner in silence before it was broken by Ami.

"I wonder where exactly are they. If only Seiya was here right now, Usagi-chan would be much more happier than she is now."

Minako said sadly, "We know that, but with him, Yaten-kun, and Taiki-san being missing, we have to do this one our now. Demo let me call her to check up on her." Minako takes out her cell phone, dialing Usagi's cell phone number and waited for Usagi to answer.

Meanwhile, a very saddened and heartsick Usagi sat at a park bench by herself, tears streaming down her beautiful face as her cell phone rang loudly within her purse and takes it out, looking at it to see who it was before flipping it open once seeing that it was Minako.

"Moshi moshi?"

"Usagi-chan, are you OK?"

Usagi forced herself to sound a whole lot more chipper than usual, forcing herself to smile and said, "Of course I am, Minako-chan! Why wouldn't I be OK? Mamo-chan's finally following his dreams!"

Minako glanced at the other Inner Senshi, who shared the same exact worried expression to herself, and said, "Ok, demo I'm heading off to the mall with Rei-chan, Mako-chan, and Ami-chan if you want me to come and-."

Usagi said, "Iie, I'm fine, Minako-chan. I just need time to myself because it's so beautiful today."

Minako said, "Ok. Demo, Usagi-chan, are you sure that you're going to be okay by yourself?"

Usagi wipes a stray tear from herself and said with her voice slightly cracking, "Hai, I am sure. Demo I've got to go now! I see the ice cream man right now." Then hangs up on Minako before Minako could reply, covering her face with her hands as she lets out heavy sobs without noticing the attractive young lady dressed walking her way, until the woman's sweet, melodious voice said to her once she recognized her, "So we meet again, huh, beautiful?"

No answer.

Seiya lowered her sunglasses, sitting down next to Usagi and said, "What's wrong, Od... erm... Usagi-chan?"

Still no answer.

Seiya sighed, taking Usagi's hands into hers to remove them from her face before brushing away her tears tenderly as she smiled lovingly at Usagi and said as Usagi looked at her in confusion, "You do realize that tears don't suit a beautiful girl like you at all, right, Usagi-chan? So stop crying and smile."

Usagi sniffles, looking at Shina and pulls away, wiping away the rest of her tears.

"You don't need to babysit a crybaby like me. You can go and see your sisters now, Shi-chan."

Seiya shakes her head, wrapping an arm around her and said as she smiled down at her, "Iie, because a pretty girl like you shouldn't be crying at all, especially one that is as sweet as you. So tell me exactly why you're crying."

Usagi said, "My boyfriend left today for Harvard and I'm just worried about him and I'm just so lonely since all of my friends are off living their dreams."

Seiya said, "Well, that's stupid of him because he should've stayed instead of just leaving you to do something that he can do anytime in his life."

Usagi looked up angrily, looking at Shina and said, "Don't talk about him like that! He's the most loving and sensitive boyfriend that I've ever had! You don't even know him!"

Seiya sighed, getting up after tenderly wiping away more stray tears on Usagi's face and said, "

Well, I hope that I can make you feel much better. A pretty girl like you shouldn't be so down. A smile suits you better than tears do."

Usagi opened her mouth to protest, but Shina had already grabbed her arm gently, following behind Shina as Shina led her out of the park with her loose, curly hair blew in the wind like Seiya's always did whenever he used to hang out with her before he left for Kinmoku with his princess and comrades.

"Wh-where are we going?"

Seiya said as she and Usagi crossed the street, "To Hikari's job since she works at a clothing store, which I bet that you'll like it."

Usagi said, "Demo you really don't need to do that because I-."

Seiya turned her head slightly to look back at Usagi, looking into Usagi's eyes with pure sincerity despite her sunglasses covering her midnight blue eyes since she 'forgot' to put her grey contact lenses in that day and said, "Demo I want to. So let me treat you to it and some ice cream, OK?"

Usagi continued to look into Shina's eyes before Shina looked away as she thought in bewilderment 'Her eyes are like Seiya's in a way... They seem to be so intense that they seem to read into your soul in a way, but yet hold a lot of passion and love within them... Could it be possible that... Iie! It's not possible since Seiya's eyes are blue, not grey! Ooh, Seiya, if only you were here with me to ease my loneliness.'

Seiya smiled, gesturing to the store that they had stopped in front of and said, "Here we are!"

Usagi looked up at the sign of the store, reading 'Angelic Baby' with her eyes widening in amusement as she followed closely behind Shina into the store.

Seiya chuckled and said, "Now, here comes the fun. Hikari!"

A full of silver hair, tied back by a light blue head scarf popped up from behind the counter and said, "What the hell do you..."

Yaten trails off after she noticed Usagi standing awkwardly next to Seiya, sending a death glare at Seiya and opened her mouth back up to yell at her when a stern woman's voice said from behind her, "Hikari-san! I do not pay you to just laze around here like you're the queen of England! So move your ass and serve our customers right now!"

Yaten rolled her eyes, turning around to look at the older woman and said with a fake smile, "Yes, ma'am. I'll do just that."

The woman smirked and said, "Good, now show those two around the store, OK?"

Yaten nodded her head, sending a smirking Seiya a dirty look from the corner of her eye as the store's manager walked off into the back and said with a flip of her hair and a slight air of boredom, "So why in the hell are you here, Shina?"

Seiya said, "To cheer Usagi-chan up with a shopping spree. So where exactly would she find clothes for her size at?"

Yaten pointed to the back of the store and said, "All the way in the back, right next to the dressing room. Give me a call if you need anything, OK, Usagi-chan? I need to talk to my dear sister in private right now about something important."

Usagi nodded her head, blushing slightly and said, "Ok, arigato." Then turned around and walked away to find herself some new clothes.

Seiya sighed, watching as Usagi walked all the way to the small women's section of the store, until a very cold, but very pissed off voice said as the person glared a hole into her back, "You, in the back, now."

Seiya sighed again as she met up with Yaten's glare, walking through the beaded doorway into the break room for the employees and leaned against the wall, looking at Yaten with boredom and slight irritation as the green-eyed woman sat next to Taiki, who was reading a book on something that Seiya nor Yaten could pronounce at all.

"So what do you want now?"

Yaten yelled at Seiya angrily, "Why in the hell did you bring her to my job, Seiya?"

Seiya glared back at Yaten and said, "Just to cheer her up."

Yaten said, "But don't you fucking realize that you're putting us in danger? For crying out loud, Seiya, you're going to blow our cover!"

Seiya said, "But, Yaten, we owe her for saving the whole entire galaxy! This isn't about my feelings for her!"

Yaten said, "Yes, it is, Seiya! You think that Taiki and I are stupid, but we're not! You just want to-."

"Stop it, you two! That's enough!"

Yaten and Seiya turned their attention towards a very pissed off Taiki, who had finally sat down her book and had her right eyebrow twitching in irritation.

Yaten said, "Why should we, Taiki? You know that that's exactly why she brought her here in the first place. But hey, since you're okay with her possibly blowing our cover, then fine by me."

Taiki called after Yaten as Yaten disappeared into the bathroom with the door slamming behind her once she had stood up with a huff, "Yaten! Wait!"

Taiki sighed, getting up and looked at Seiya as Seiya said, "She really is pissed off this time, huh?"

Taiki nodded her head, looking sad for a moment before looking at Seiya sternly and said, "Hai, she is. But you need to choose between us and her, Seiya. You can't have it both ways. However if you choose her, we'll be enemies."

Seiya sprung up onto her feet and said, "But that's not fair, Taiki! We've been friends for years and now you want me to choose between love and friendship?"

Taiki sighed and said, "I guess. Demo just be careful with her, OK, Seiya?"

Seiya watched as Taiki walked off to calm Yaten down, fuming as she punched the wall while cursing Taiki and Yaten for their stubbornness and walked out of the break room, bumping right into a worried and concern Usagi on her way out of the store.

Usagi followed Shina out of the store once one of Hikari's co-workers took her yen and asked Shina as she looked at her with concern and worry, "Daijobu, Shi-chan?"

Seiya nodded her head, smiling down at Usagi and said, "Daijobu, no need to worry about me, Usagi-chan."

Usagi said, "Are you sure? You look very angry. Did something happen between you and Hikari-chan?"

Seiya said, "Iie, nothing happen at all. Now let's go get some ice cream, OK?"

Usagi nodded her head, following closely behind Shina as Shina got lost within her thoughts.

Meanwhile, on Kinmoku, Hitoshi approached the royal throne of Queen Kagome, bowing down to her and said, "I'm afraid that we've lost those three, My Lady. We can't find them anywhere."

Queen Kagome said, "Well then, keep searching for them and make sure to send them off to Jukoha for their exile once you find them, OK?"

Hitoshi nodded his head, bowing down and said, "Yes, My Queen... But one thing."

Queen Kagome looked up and said, "What is it?"

Hitoshi said, "What should we would if they were to try and escape again?"

Queen Kagome smirked and said, "Just kill them."

Hitoshi smiled back at the queen, chuckling and said, "I had a feeling that you were going to say that. But I'd better go now so that you can rest."

Queen Kagome nodded her head, sighing in bliss once Hitoshi had finally left the room and laughing evilly at the thought of the former Starlights's being executed by the guards.

"Arigato gozaimasu, Shi-chan! The ice cream was delicious!"

Seiya smiled down at her Odango as they stopped in front of Usagi's house, giggling and said, "See? Didn't I tell you that I was going to cheer you back up?"

Usagi nodded her head and said, "Hai, you did. Demo when would I see you again?"

Seiya said with a shrug, "Probably tomorrow morning. But I better get going now before my sisters come after me."

Seiya turned around, making a move to leave when Usagi tugged on her hand while crying out, "Matte!"

Usagi looked at Shina and said, "How exactly would I be able to meet you again?"

Seiya gently snatches her hand away from Usagi's, taking off her earrings and hands them to Usagi, smiling as she said, "Here, you can have these as a guarantee that you'll see me tomorrow."

Usagi looked at Shina in shock and said, "Demo I can't possibly take theses! They're yours!"

Seiya waves a hand carelessly and said, "It's no big deal, Usagi-chan. I want you to have them. Demo oyasumi nasai."

Seiya kisses Usagi on her right cheek despite her longing to kiss her on the lips from how innocent Usagi looked, turning away from her before disappearing into the night.

"What is taking her so long to get back here?"

Taiki closed her book, looking at Yaten before taking her glasses off and said, "She's probably dropping off Tsukino-san. Demo don't forget that we'll support her in her decision no matter what since Seiya isn't endangering us really because no one has recognized us at all, Yaten, so try not to blow up on her, OK?"

Yaten said, "Why shouldn't I? It's a brand new Seiya that we're talking about for crying out loud, Taiki! She has changed since the day we've met Usagi-san, so of course I'll blow up on her, especially when she's acting like such a pussy nowadays."

Taiki glared at Yaten and said, "Demo, Yaten, Seiya's still a fighter no matter what and is our friend and leader, even though she could be intuitive most of the time doesn't mean that she's reckless really."

Yaten sighed, running a hand through her hair as sadness filled her eyes and said, "I know that, but I just miss the old days before the whole Galaxia invasion where all of us were happy and weren't going through this at all."

Taiki said, "So do I, but it'll strengthen our bond even more than before, Yaten, as long as we have each other even though there may be more tears this time."

Yaten looked at Taiki, opening her mouth to say that she wasn't a crybaby when the sound of the front door opening sounded within the whole entire living room.

Seiya sighed, taking off her jean jacket as Yaten said sarcastically from her place on the loveseat once she had regained her usual attitude that she has towards everybody, "So did you decide, Seiya? Or did you just forget again as usual?"

Taiki glared at Yaten again before turning her attention back to Seiya and said, "Seiya, what did you decide on? Because we won't be mad at you if you were to choose her over us."

Seiya sighed again, sitting across from Taiki and Yaten and said as she looked into their eyes with a slight sadness, but determination, "I've decided that I'll... keep seeing her."
