Chapter Six

Serenity wakes from a horrible dream screaming. She remembers everything of her life before she came through the portal and is quick to stop screaming once she is fully awake and grasps the situation.

Luna peers down at Usagi. Her worry for the Princess makes her start to yell for screaming so much. "Serenity-"

Serenity cuts her off. "I'm sorry for screaming Luna; however I did have a good reason. Would you please gather my Mother, Ami, Rae, Makoto, Minako, Artemis and Prince Endymion in the throne room please? I swear it's important! Oh, and don't forget to remain present yourself."

"Do you swear on the Moon Kingdom and Selene herself that it is important?" Luna asks suspiciously.

"I swear on the Moon Kingdom and Selene herself that this is a very important matter," Serenity swears sincerely.

"All right then," Luna states and quickly leaves the room to do as her Princess requests.

Serenity is in the throne room. She is anxiously pacing back and forth across the room waiting for those she requested to arrive, praying she had enough time to make a difference. She stops her pacing. "Oh Selene, give me the strength to change what has passed by getting the day right this time around and making a positive impact on the future just as Setsuna believes I will be able to."

"What a strange prayer Serenity," Queen Selenity comments as she enters the throne room. She is shocked when she receives a huge hug from her daughter, though she returns it all the same.

The others that Serenity had requested enter the room, not telling the Princess that they had heard her prayer also. Serenity goes to each in turn and gives them a huge hug too, which they - though surprised - return. Endymion takes her hand in his and kisses the back of it.

Smiling Serenity retracts her hand and turns to everyone. "Okay, before I get distracted I have something to tell you."

"Would that be the reason that you requested our presence Princess?" Artemis asks.

"Yes," she replies. Serenity takes a deep breath. "I have had a dream this night that today the Moon Kingdom will be attacked. Before any of the scouts say anything, I know that it would be more likely for Rae to get a vision than I but I swear I am not making this up. I would not be as irresponsible as to joke at such a time as this. I know for a fact that my dream will come true unless we do something to stop it, because I have come from a future where the Moon Kingdom did fall, and you my Mother, my Queen, gave up the very last of your strength to be able to send all of us to earth to be reincarnated, hoping that we would be able to defeat Beryl and the negaverse the second time around. Please will you listen to my dream?"

Endymion comes forward and takes her hand, stroking her palm gently with his thumb. "I will listen."

"Will the rest of you?" Serenity asks, sounding outwardly calm, though inwardly her stomach was doing flips.

"I would love to believe you Serenity but do you have any proof?" Ami asks.

"So far so good," Serenity thinks. "At least they're not yelling at me this time." The magic that Setsuna had given her begins to glow gold, bathing her body in the light it creates. "Actually Ami," Serenity begins. "I do. Setsuna gave me this gift when I came through the time portal and now I know what it does. If all of you will allow me to use the power you will have your proof."

All eight of them nod their heads in agreement to let Serenity do whatever it is that she wishes to. With a thought the power is released and splits into eight glowing balls of power and each enters its chosen host. With a gasp from all of them the power enters their bodies and floods through them.

"I remember," Ami, Rae, Minako, Makoto, Luna, Artemis and Endymion breathe.

"What did the power give you Mother?" Serenity asks.

"A look into the future my love, to show me that what you have said is true," the Queen replies with a reassuring smile at her daughter.

"Well the day is going a lot better than it did the first time but it will all be for naught if we don't do some planning and win this battle," Serenity states.

"Win it my love?" Selenity asks her daughter. "From what I saw and what you told me we don't win the battle."

Serenity grins. "I came back to change that. The world will be so much better if we win than if we don't," Serenity clarifies.

"Serenity is right, my Queen," Ami states. "We all have memories of that world and it is not half as good as the Kingdom which you rule, and the Kingdom Earth would become - as Serenity said - if we rid it of Beryl's influence."

"Then please follow me to the Planning room and Serenity my darling, you can proceed to tell us all the details of your dream," Queen Selenity says leading the way.

Serenity gives a detailed description of her dream to the others and they use it to record the attacks which the negaverse will use and the order in which they will use them. As they are beginning to discuss the counterattacks they will use a gentle knock sounds on the door. They pause their conversation and Selenity calls, "Come in!"

A timid looking maid comes in and does a deep curtsey. "I am sorry for interrupting my Queen, but the ball planners wish your presence for finalising the plans for tonight."

"Will you please tell them that the ball will be postponed until tomorrow night?" she responds receiving a nod from the girl before she quickly retreats.

Once the door has closed Serenity looks at her mother quizzically. "Tomorrow night Mother?"

"Well if your aim for changing these events comes to pass then we will truly have a reason to celebrate tomorrow night and will still be around to celebrate it," she clarifies with a confident smile.

"Yes, we will," Serenity agrees before they all go back to planning.

They create counterattacks for every move their enemies will make and even come up with a way to decrease some of the enemies' forces straight off the bat, however they are still pondering to themselves what they will do as a final move.

"If I could make a suggestion?" Serenity asks.

She receives multiple nods from those around her.

"I have an idea for how we could destroy Beryl and restore the world to how it should be…"
