"Minna," Usagi stated. "You aren't acting like yourselves."
"What do you mean, Hime?" Mercury asked, her computer still out and her eyes filled with confusion.
Usagi looked over at her husband and saw the same worry in his eyes that she knew was in her own. Mamoru glanced over her face then turned to the senshi.
"Who are you?" He asked Mars, his voice strong and powerful.
"I am Rei, princess of Mars and protector of Princess Serenity."
Mamoru looked to Venus. "Who are you?"
"I am Minako, princess of Venus and protector of Princess Serenity."
Mamoru swallowed and glanced back at his wife. Her face was becoming paler and her eyes were filling with tears. She was thinking just like him. They had lost their friends. The senshi thought they were their past selves.
"Who are you?" he asked Jupiter.
"I am Makoto, princess of Jupiter and protector of Princess Serenity."
"Who are you?"
"I am Ami, princess of Mercury and protector of Princess Serenity."
Usagi suddenly stepped forward her mouth in a straight line. "Who am I?"
Venus spoke up, her voice loud and sure. "You are Princess Serenity, daughter of Queen Serenity of the White Moon and heir to the Moon Kingdom."
"Iie."
All the senshi looked at the odangoed blonde in shock. "Princess?" Mars asked.
"I am not Princess Serenity," Usagi said firmly. "I am Tsukino Usagi, wife of Chiba Mamoru and student at Tokyo University. I am just the reincarnation of the princess; just like all of you are the reincarnations of the senshi."
Each senshi just stared blankly at Usagi.
"Is something wrong, Princess?" Jupiter asked.
Usagi held back a scream and her eyes flashed. "Yes, something is terribly wrong, Jupiter. What is the last thing you remember?"
Jupiter looked taken aback by the question but a smile slowly slid across her face. "The ball, Princess. We weren't able to find you and then...." she stopped, a frown replacing the smile.
"We were here," Mars finished for her.
Usagi took a step back. "Mamoru," she whispered. "What do we do?"
"Show them the recent past, Usako. Remind them of their lives now."
Usagi nodded and took a deep breath. "It will be done." And a flash of light surrounded the group.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And they were in the past. Six years in the past...
A 14 year old Usagi ran up the steps to the jinja, her school uniform in disarray.
"Usagi! You're late again!"
Usagi ran into Rei's room and bowed to her friends. "Gomen, minna. I got detention again."
"What else is new?!" Rei shouted.
"Hush, Rei," Makoto said. "She's here now so we can get started."
Another flash of light and they were in the Crown Arcade...
"How can we be sure they can be trusted?"
Usagi sighed and looked down into her milkshake. "We can't."
Rei snorted. "So why do you want to talk to them?"
"They are senshi, just like us!" Usagi violently whispered. "They may not be fighting with us but they have saved our butts plenty of times!"
"All the same," Minako stated. "We should be careful around these new comers. Just to be safe."
A flash of light and they were on the streets outside of Usagi's house...
"I bet you made her run away, Usagi!"
"I did not, Rei!"
"You are always doing something to make her mad!"
Usagi turned red and started shouting at her best friend.
Ami turned to the other senshi. "We need to find Luna, minna. She could be hurt. So let's split up and look for her around town."
Flash of light....They were back at the arcade
"Isn't that t-t-t-t-tw-two...?"
"That's two timing, Minako!!!!" Luna said.
Minako just giggled then became very dramatic. "It should be a crime to be this beautiful!"
Flash...
"Minna!!!!!'
Usagi fell to her knees, her friends and senshi surrounding her with an evil look in their eyes.
"Please don't," she whispered desperately.
"But they will, Sailor Moon," Galaxia said evilly.
"Chibi-Chibi."
"Chibi-Chibi," Sailor Moon whispered. "It isn't them, is it?"
The small red head senshi shook her head and blinked.
"It's just their bodies?"
"Chibi."
Eternal Sailor Moon slowly stood up, her face set and determined. "I will not lose."
One more flash....
"Congratulations, Usagi!"
"Arigatou, minna!"
A radiant Usagi in a beautiful wedding dress hugged her friends.
"I've finally started on my future!!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The light subsided and they were all back at the jinja where they started. Usagi slowly fell to her knees and put her head in her hands.
"Usako?" Mamoru asked, kneeling beside her.
"I'm fine," she muttered. "That just took some effort."
She looked back up at her friends and saw some light returning to their eyes.
"Usagi?" Minako whispered, her senshi uniform slowly shimmering away and her regular clothes replacing it.
****************
"What do these mean, Prue? Why are you showing me this?"
Prue sighed and gently pushed Piper's hair away from her little sister's face. "Because you need to see what you mean to everyone. You need to see that we all love you and need you."
Piper's eyes suddenly flashed with anger. "Need me!?" She shouted. "I needed you, Prue! But you left! Do you remember that?"
The screen blinked again and showed Piper, two years ago, in her black dress trying to get ready for Prue's funeral. She was crying so much she couldn't seem to stand.
Piper pointed to her screen self in anger. "That was me, Prue! Do you remember that? Oh wait, no! You don't! You weren't there! Do you know how much I hated being at your funeral!?! All those people saying 'I'm so sorry!' I hated it! It was torture!"
The screen flashed again and showed Piper crying in Phoebe's arms.
"What about this?" Piper continued. "Remember this?" She looked at the screen then back at Prue. "That was when I finally realized that I needed to be the oldest sister! I realized that you weren't coming back and I had to be you! I had to be the protector, the mother, the mean guy! I had to welcome a new person into our house to replace you! Replace you!!!!!! Can you imagine having to replace your own sister?!"
The screen went blank and Piper stood up and started pacing in anger. "I can't do this anymore, Prue. I just can't."
Prue swallowed the sob in her throat and shook her head. "But you can. In fact, you have been doing just that these past two years."
Piper stopped pacing and glared at Prue. "What?"
"You have been a great sister to Paige, Piper. You have been a great witch and a great wife. And I know that one day you will be a great mother."
"How can you say that, Prue?"
Prue just turned back to the screen. It was showing something again and this time, Paige was in it.
--------------------------
Piper was in the kitchen, pouring a cup of coffee and Paige was at the table, sipping on her third cup and reading the paper.
"Hehe, listen to this, Piper," Paige said.
Piper sat down across from Paige and listened as she took a sip of her coffee.
"'Dear Phoebe, I thought my husband was cheating on me. So, last night when he came home I threw his clothes outside, pushed him out, shut the door and locked it. After a lot of yelling through the door I found out he wasn't cheating on me but was just trying to surprise me with a second honeymoon. When I apologized he just left the house and I haven't seen him since.'"
Piper laughed. "Mmmm, sounds like some people have more problems than we do."
Paige nodded and folded the paper back. "You're telling me."
"Well, what did Phoebe tell her to do?"
Paige shrugged. "The usual. To try to apologize again and to never assume anything."
"She didn't add the little thing in about making an ass of you and me?" Piper asked with a grin.
"I seriously thought about it," Phoebe said as she walked into the kitchen. "That nut woman would have probably sued me though."
"True," Paige sighed as she stood up and made her way over to the sink. "There are some crazy people in this city."
Before Paige could even get to the sink, a demon shimmered in with a snarl. "It isn't just people that are crazy," the demon said before he picked Paige up by the throat and threw her across the kitchen and out into the front hall. A loud crash indicated that she had landed on something.
Piper jumped up and started after Paige. But before she left the kitchen she turned around and threw up her hands. The demon exploded with a scream.
Phoebe ran after Piper and muttered, "They always come when we are so relaxed!"
"LEO!" Piper called when she saw Paige bleeding from a cut in her head. She had landed on the round table in the front hall and the vase on top of it had broken to millions of pieces, resulting in the cut on the youngest sister's head.
Leo orbed in and quickly knelt beside Paige, healing her with his magic. Paige opened her eyes with a groan.
"Tell me you got that bastard," she muttered as Piper helped her up.
"Yep," Piper said with a smile. "And just for you."
-------------------
Piper finally sat back down beside Prue. Silence fell between the two until Piper finally spoke. "I'm sorry, Prue."
"For what, honey?"
"For yelling at you."
"Oh, Piper," Prue said. "It's fine. You have every right to be angry."
"But I thought I had gotten rid of my anger after the whole Furies incident."
"You just had a little left over, that's all."
"A little?" Piper asked with a snicker.
Prue laughed and hugged her little sister. "You know I love you, Pipe. And Phoebe, Paige, and Leo love you. And they are worried about you."
Piper sighed as she looked up at Prue. "I guess I should go back. I should leave this...place and go back to the real world."
"That would probably make them all very happy."
It was then that Piper noticed how much brighter it had gotten around them. Before it had been so dark but now...she could actually see.
"I want to go back, Prue."
Prue just nodded and took her hand. "Let's go."
****************
Paige was tired and she could tell that Phoebe was feeling the same way. But she refused to sleep. She was so worried about Piper that even if she tried to sleep she wouldn't be able to.
"Paige, Phoebe?"
At the sound of her older sister's voice, Paige perked up. Piper was sitting there, her eyes opened and full of light.
"Piper!" Both women said at the same time as they threw themselves at her.
To be continued......
So, everyone seems to be returning to normal...so now what? Mwahahahahahahah...only I know! And I won't update till I get some good reviews guys. I really need some motivation. And believe me; I know just where to go from here!!! *runs off as she writes down the next chapter* So see y'all then!!!
I don't owned Charmed or Sailor Moon. I promise.
