Okay! All the boyfriends have been revealed. They won't show up again for a while...probably until part 2. But they'll have a big part in part 2. So will Darien and Aoshi. But right now, let's continue with the current story.

Episode: A Keeper's Dream

Crossroads Park: a local place where the community coalesces and communicates with one another. Within it, the park contains the nobility of winter, the kindness of spring, the intensity of summer, and the elegance of autumn. Cherry blossom petals flowed through the mild spring sky. The weekend finally came...and many people were out enjoying walks and rests. Others were enjoying to just being together.

Not far from their apartment, Anna and Aoshi sat peacefully inside the park as a quiet commotion occurred around them. As his dojo lessons just began, Aoshi spent less and less time being available.

Anna "We should do this more often. Everything seems peaceful...at least, until those circus freaks show up."

Aoshi "Are they formidable?"

Anna "Eh...more or less. Terrible fashion sense, though. As long as they don't find Pegasus, we'll probably be fine."

Aoshi "How can you be so sure to trust him? Pegasus only shows up when trouble comes."

Anna "Yeah, but he always helps. He keeps helping; we'll be on good terms."

Aoshi "What is he's helping the other side secretly?"

Anna's smile quickly faded as she blushed with embarrassment. He was right. She didn't consider the fact that Pegasus could be a double agent. Anna's mind changed quickly.

Anna "You're right. I'm gonna alert the scouts and tell them to be on their guard, especially Rini."

She pulled out her communicator. Almost about to dial each scout, she heard a faint chuckle. Anna looked over at Aoshi to see him stifling a laugh.

Anna "What's so funny?"

He was surprised to see her blank expression.

Aoshi "A few seconds ago, you were supporting Pegasus. Now you're gonna call everyone to be aware of him?"

Anna looked down at her hands and thought of what she was about to do. She blushed from embarrassment again as she shoved the communicator in her pocket.

Anna "Yeah...I'm an idiot. I guess I'm a bit partial about the situation. I don't even know Pegasus's side of the story and I'm already judging him. What a fool this girl turned out to be."

Aoshi knew she was blaming herself. She thought of herself as impassive and arrogant of others' feelings.
He spread his arms out across the bench and looked up into the sky.

Aoshi "You're not the only one arrogant and selfish. Everyone starts out that way. Being kind is a task itself."

Anna slowly looked towards him.

Aoshi "We have to work hard to be kind, and once we reach it, it's our job to help it grow and maintain. But kindness grows differently in each person: slow or fast. And there are different versions of kindness: to one, it may be good, but to another, it will be another selfish desire. That's their weak point."

Anna "It's official: I'm weak."

Aoshi "When someone says that you could be wrong, everyone around that person believes it's true. It facilitates the action to doubt someone. If you could just believe in the person at first, then a chance has widely opened to trust and respect that person...or, should we say, flying horse?"

He looked back at her.

Aoshi "Give Pegasus a chance to prove himself and start to know him. That's when you'll truly believe him."

Anna looked at the ground and thought. If she gave Pegasus a chance, it would be easier for her to understand him. And, as he said, their trust within each other will be stronger. She gave a little giggle.

Anna "Thanks. You gave a big help."

"Anna! Sir Aoshi!"

Over at the entrance, Serena, Rini, and Trista Meioh walked in and spotted the two of them. Anna was surprised to see Trista still in the regular world.

Anna "Hey. What up?"

Serena "Nice to see you gain. We heard you and Lita got into some trouble earlier this week. Are you all right?"

Anna "Yeah. No scratches. Just one new super-powered move."

Anna gave thumbs up, to which Serena sighed with relief. She couldn't stand her friends getting hurt again.

Rini "It's been a while. I have seen you two together since we defeated Mistress 9."

Aoshi "Things have been adding to our agenda since then. Shouldn't you be guarding the Time Gate, Miss Meioh?"

But Trista shook her head.

Trista "Everything's fine: past, present, and future."

Anna "That's good to hear."

Trista "And it's all thanks to you."

The youths looked puzzled.

Trista "We would be dead right now if it wasn't for the Royal Court. We Outer Senshi are in your debt. And...you helped our dreams come true."

Rini "What is your dream, Sailor P?"

Trista looked up into the sky. She concentrated on listening to the calmness around her.

Trista "Not exactly a Utopia, but a world close enough to it. Thank you."

They smiled. It was true: the world would most likely never be a Utopia, but striving to make it peaceful was all worthwhile. Chaos would have ensued if it wasn't for the valiant heroines. Still...believing that there's no way to reach Utopia marked it down a few pegs.

Trista turned and began to walk away, leaving them with a feeling of accomplishment.

Serena "We'll fulfill her dream, won't we?"

Anna and Aoshi nodded. Rini giggled at the idea of a perfect world.

Rini "It will be pretty!"

Trista couldn't help but smile at the happiness the scouts helped create in the world.

A wind began to pick up and blow blossom petals into a whirlwind. She saw it as dancing in the air with joy and peace. Trista watched them fly away...and caught sight of a man not far from her.

He wore a brown British suit and a blue tie. Hands in his pockets, he looked at the leaves as well behind his glasses. The man seemed to be like a genius it wasn't for his purple spiky hair. He glanced at Trista and seemed like he took notice.

Man "Oh!...Miss Meioh?"

The man began to walk towards her. Trista felt like moving away, but her feet stayed put.

Man "I'm from Black Star Academy. We've been looking for you."

Trista "...Why?"

His spectacles gleamed.

Man "Because of your beautiful dream."

A tapestry suddenly fell before the mean. It rolled back up and the man's attire completely changed. Hawk's Eye!!

Trista "What's this!?"

Trista knew something was wrong. The man didn't seem look like he wanted to talk. He wanted something... Still, to take precaution, she reached for her transformation wand. But Hawk's Eye was ahead.

Hawk "One..."

A red board shot up from behind Trista. Her hand flew away from her wand.

Hawk "Two..."

Cuffs locked her at her wrists and ankles. Trista was bound to the board and couldn't be freed. A deep wrenching in her gut told her that when he finished counting... Trista was in serious trouble.

Hawk "Three!!"

She closed her eyes to endure the pain; but it still wasn't enough. It felt as if her vital point was in her chest...and it was about to burst. The egregious pain formed a mirror; her thoughts, emotions, and dreams were drained into it. As she dropped her head from exhaustion, Hawk's Eye crept closer to the mirror.

Hawk "Wishing for not exactly a Utopia, but something close to it, eh?"

He placed his hands around the rim of the mirror.

Hawk "Well, let's see how this 'Utopia' world is like."

Serena "Really? Jason...What's he like?"

Anna "Cool, nice...clumsy. But he seems like a good match for Lita."

Rini "Now everyone's been hitched except me!"

Serena "You're not being hitched for a long time."

Aoshi turned his head to the side as his eyes changed into an incisive look.

Anna "Aoshi? What is it?"

He stood up. With instinct, Aoshi revealed his kodachi from behind.

Aoshi "Something's happening...to Miss Meioh."

They dashed in the direction where Trista took off. Believing his instincts, the girls decided that trouble would be waiting for them.

"MOON COSMIC DREAM ACTION!!"
"SOLAR CRYSTAL POWER!!"

Rushing faster and faster, they finally found her...tortured by Hawk's Eye as he plunged his head into her dream mirror. Trista's face was scrunched as she held her cries within.

Galaxy "Trista!!"

Hawk's Eye pulled his head out and glanced towards the team.

"SOLAR HACHIREN CROSS!!"

In a blinding speed, Sailor Galaxy charged into Hawk's Eye with daggers in hand. But Hawk's Eye was faster. He jumped up and dodged each of her slashes as she passed by.

Hawk "Wanna play, don't you? I've got the perfect playmate. Say hello to Big Shield Gardna!!"

A wind portal appeared next to him as a brute stepped out of it. He had long spiky black hair and pupiless eyes. Dressed as a warrior, he held a gigantic shield that protected his entire front.

Galaxy "Fine, let's play!!"

She jumped up and slashed her daggers at Big Shield Gardna.
CLANK!!
The blades slowly slid off and made no effect on his steel defense.

Moon "No!"

Mini "It didn't work!"

Aoshi ran up to Sailor Galaxy. Big Shield Gardna raised his shield and struck a sideways blow at the scout.

Aoshi "Look out!"

He unsheathed his kodachi and tried to slash the monster. But Big Shield Gardna reached out a hand and grabbed his arm.

Galaxy "Let him go!"

The monster continued with his attack.
WHAM!!
Sailor Galaxy flew backwards upon impact. Her front side was in pain after the blow. Big Shield Gardna wheeled around with Aoshi captive. The wind made him temporarily deaf until he was released from the clutches and flew as well.
CRASH!!
Both Sailor Galaxy and Aoshi bashed into separate trees with incredible force. Their backs ached with pain as they slowly fell out of the trees They had a hard time standing, but continued to fight on...at least only for a few seconds.

Galaxy "Damn...I think I broke a rib."

Aoshi "Just stand back. I'll handle it."

Galaxy "Not without help. He's too strong. What we need is..."

"URANUS WORLD SHAKING!!"
"NEPTUNE DEEP SUBMERGE!!"

The spheres disrupted the moment of victory and sped towards Big Shield Gardna. The brute quickly deflected them with the shield and directed them into more trees. The trees crumbled and turned to splinters.

Moon "Uranus!"

Mini "Sailor Neptune!"

They looked behind and saw the two remaining Outer Senshi.

Uranus "Told you we'd be around."

Neptune "You can count on us."

Galaxy "Boy, are we glad to see you."

Uranus turned to Sailor Galaxy.

Uranus "You think you can move for one last attack?"

She thought for a moment and nodded. Uranus and Neptune nodded back. Galaxy jumped high in the air and summoned her daggers for a different attack. Big Shield Gardna chuckled as he moved the shield above his head. He thought he was ready for any attack. He thought wrong.

With his attention taken away, Uranus and Neptune moved to Big Shield Gardna's sides. They hesitated and waited for the right moment to strike.
CLANK!!
Galaxy forced her daggers upon the shield for a struggle against power. She wanted all his attention on her...until Uranus and Neptune were finally ready.

"URANUS WOLD SHAKING!!"
"NEPTUNE DEEP SUBMERGE!!"

The spheres sped up again. Sailor Galaxy chuckled.

Galaxy "Dodge those."

The spheres were a meter away when Galaxy jumped away from the scene. They clashed in the center, the monster in the middle. Big Shield Gardna growled in anger as his strength was brought to a dearth. He collapsed with lassitude and frustration.

Aoshi "Call for Pegasus!"

Mini "Please help, Protector of dreams!"

"CRYSTAL TWINKLE BELL!!"

The winged horse appeared in the sky, gliding with radiance. His horn glowed and gave Sailor Moon a slight nod. The leader understood the signal and took out the Kaleido Moon Scope. The scope activated as the little wings ejected out.

"MOON GORGEOUS MEDITATION!!"

She thrusted the scope towards Big Shield Gardna and energy spewed to him. The monster's shield couldn't help it from its inevitable fate. As energy shot through him, his body slowly faded and the monster disappeared from existence.

Hawk "Damn those scouts! Why is Pegasus always coming to help them!?"

Hawk's Eye looked over at Sailor Mini Moon. As the little scout cheered with victory, he suspected something at the thought of her summoning Pegasus. Could she know Pegasus personally...?

"Hey!"

He looked up and saw Sailor Galaxy using the same attack she used on Big Shield Gardna. But a portal appeared behind Hawk's Eye before he jumped through and escaped. Galaxy landed on the ground while the enemy was nowhere in sight.

Galaxy "Gone...and almost found out."

She looked at Sailor Mini Moon as her daggers disappeared in a flash. Galaxy had almost the exact same thoughts as Hawk's Eye.

Galaxy (Either he's helpful or harmful. You have to decide that, Mini Moon.)

Right after the red board disappeared, Trista almost fell but was caught by Uranus and Neptune. She regained consciousness faster than the others.

Uranus "How are ya?"

Trista "...Amara...Michelle..."

The others walked up to the trio with relief.

Trista "Thank you. With your valor and bravery, perhaps this world will be Utopia."

Galaxy "We don't know about that..."

Moon "But we'll get close enough."

Trista gleamed with happiness.

Sailor Galaxy was about to walk away until she spotted Sailor Mini Moon looking into the sky. She supposed that Mini Moon was finding Pegasus. The solar scout believed in the winged horse, but there was still some doubt in her heart.

Galaxy (I'll give him a chance. Perhaps we can win.)

But then she remembered the incident at the grocery store. They wanted Pegasus for something, but for what? Sailor Galaxy knew that something was wrong. She vowed to herself that no one would get hurt...even if it meant killing her in the process.

Uh oh, he almost found out. This little discovery's gonna lead to something very bad, but I won't tell you just yet.

Next time on Sailor Galaxy Chronicles:

Serena "Sammy!? What are you doing here?"

Sammy "She's the best. NO ONE can beat her."

Anna "It's the Amazon Trio!!"

Fish (Is she really...?)

Galaxy "He resides in my dream."
