The moon hung low in the sky surrounded by glowing stars. Usagi stared at the moon and studied the way it shined. It was almost as if the moon was calling out to her. A cold breeze blew through the park, and Usagi shivered.

This park was the place she went to with Michiru one time. That day was fun, and she enjoyed spending time with Michiru. If only they could spend time together like that now. Usagi looked down at the ground and clutched the hem of her skirt tightly. She wondered what Michiru was doing right now. Did she ever think of her as Usagi thought of her and Haruka? Usagi's lip wobbled, and she felt like crying. Michiru probably hated Usagi, and if she didn't she still was avoiding her. Usagi wondered if their friendship had ever meant anything at all. Michiru and Haruka said they loved her, but now Michiru had left her all alone. Usagi didn't know if she could believe those words anymore.

"Usagi! Are you coming?" Ami called from in front of her, and Usagi snapped her head up, nodding.

Slowly Usagi took shaky steps and joined the group around the pond.

"Alright, now everyone gather in a circle," Luna spoke.

Usagi did as Luna instructed, and joined everyone in forming a circle while Luna stood in front of them muttering something Usagi couldn't understand under her breath.

"Luna? We have to transform now right?" Minako asked, and Usagi took a shaky breath, readying herself for the journey ahead.

"Yes. If you transform you should be able to teleport." Luna instructed, and her eyes seemed to linger on Usagi for a moment.

Bringing her arms up to her brooch Usagi shouted,

"Moon Prism Power!"

A chorus of her friend's voices soon followed,

"Mercury Power!"

"Mars Power!"

"Jupiter Power!"

"Venus Power!"

They all finished shouting together,

"Make Up!"

There was a bright flash of light and Usagi instinctively closed her eyes.

"Look, it's the Earth!" Ami spoke, and Usagi slowly pried her eyes open.

?

Usagi's jaw dropped at the sight they were surrounded by bright shining stars, and in front of them stood the Earth a bright blue ball in the sky. They were really in space even though they were on Earth just a few seconds ago?

"Amazing…you can see the lightning from the storms from here. I still can't believe it even though we were on that planet just a second ago." Makato spoke with awe in her eyes, and present in her voice.

"Look, I can see the Moon! It really is covered in craters…just like Mercury."

Usagi turned, and she saw it, the Moon, bathed in faded silver light. Seeing it surrounded by the glowing stars, Usagi couldn't help but feel nostalgic at the sight of the planet that was once her home.

"Where are we going, Luna?" Usagi asked, and saw Luna glance at her.

"To "Mare Serenitatis" or the Sea of Serenity."

Standing on the Moon was frightening. It was pitch black with tall ruined pillars scattered everywhere. Usagi grabbed Makato's arm and hid her face in it. This was nothing like the Moon her memories showed her.

"Hey now, Usagi, don't be scared. Now you really are a Rabbit On The Moon!"

Usagi let go of Makato's arm and looked a bit confused. Was now really time for puns?

It was so dark and cold. They were alone, their only company being the ruined pillars that surrounded them. Was this the Moon?

These were the ruins of the Silver Millennium.

"There's so much wreckage. Is this where our sacred palace once stood?" Ami asked as she held her hand close to her chest, no doubt taking in the sight before them.

Luna nodded and gestured to some areas around them.

"Yes, the Moon Castle was once here, and over there are the ruins of the "Prayer Room" which only the Queen could enter." Luna stopped for a second before walking forward.

Slowly Usagi and the rest followed and were only stopped by a stone, with a stone sword embedded in it.

"This was the heart of the palace…The Crystal Tower. See that sword Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus try to pull it out."

Usagi watched as Ami, Rei, and Makato failed to fill out the sword.

"How are we supposed to get it out? It's made of stone!" Makato exclaimed as Minako tried to pull the sword out.

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the sword came free of the stone, and Minako fell back losing her balance.

A light flickered, and there on the slab of stone, a tiny woman with pure white hair, a silk dress, and translucent wings appeared.

That is the Legendary Holy Sword used to protect the Princess. Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus it is yours. Luna, thank you for bringing them here, you've done well. I am called Selene Goddess of the Moon on Earth, but in reality I am Queen Serenity the former ruler of the moon.

Usagi stared at the woman in wonder. Queen Serenity? Does that mean in her past life this was her mother?

You look well my lovely Serenity. I can finally see you again.

"You can hold a conversation?" Ami asked, looking confused and shocked.

This image is in reality a computer hologram, but it is based on the records of the past. Thanks to the design of the main computer System "Eternity Main" I was able to record bits of my will and personality and leave it behind. As part of my last testament Luna and Armetis were put into a deep sleep. For years I have waited for them to awaken and watch over you again. Everything has crumbled and changed into ruins now, but do you remember how it used to be? When everything inside the dome had been lush and full of life. But Serenity I recall you would sneak down to Earth to see the real thing. But instead, you found love.

Yes, Usagi remembered. She remembered the once beautiful landscape of the moon. She remembered sneaking down to Earth and the scoldings from Venus.

"You snuck down to Earth again didn't you?" A voice echoed in her head.

That's right she snuck down to Earth to see him. Her first love. The man she loved in her original life, Endymion.

Those of the Moon are blessed with very long lives, and it is our duty to protect the Silver Crystal. But then one day, a day that's burned into my memory, the sun was plagued by a period of irregularity. From that irregularity, a creature was born one of hate and destruction. That creature targeted Earth, and not just Earth but also the infinite power of the Silver Crystal. So eventually it came to attack the Moon, and only Endymion, the prince of the Earth, remained unconvinced by the creature's lies. Prince Endymion was murdered, and after that in your sorrow and misery took your own life. Do you remember that?

Usagi felt tears roll down her cheeks at the Queen's words. Yes, she remembered that. She remembered the miserable way her life ended in her past life. She remembered her grief and she remembered the pain she felt as she plunged a sword into her stomach.

The creature has been released from the seal and is somewhere on earth lurking. As back then due to the pain of losing you, I had used the Silver Crystal with a weak heart. Due to that the seal was incomplete.

Princess! This time you must use the Silver Crystal to destroy the creature completely!

"But Queen! Something is wrong with the Silver Crystal. It's gone all cold since part of its power went into Sailor Uranus' body!"

Usagi froze at the mention of Haruka and all thoughts of mentioning that the Silver Crystal healed Hotaru were lost.

Sailor Uranus…? What was she? No never mind, if the light of the Silver Crystal went into her body that means you, Serenity, tried to save her. The Silver Crystal works entirely on the contents of your heart Princess!

You're worried about her, aren't you? I assure you Princess someone like Uranus won't die so easily. She'll be alright.

Tears once again fell from Usagi's eyes at these words. A weak smile formed on Usagi's face. Yes, she was sure Haruka would be alright. Haruka wouldn't die so easily.

Princess Serenity, you must remember that the Silver Crystal relies on your heart. You must have strong love and a deep resolution in your heart to destroy the creature.

You must take pride in yourself as the Princess, and the Senshi of Love and Justice, Sailor Moon. Most of all don't forget that underlying everything else you are a girl. Because that is where your meaning lies, it is part of the reason you were reincarnated. Don't forget that.

"Queen!" Usagi called out, but the Queen looked behind her at everyone else.

Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus combine powers and be sure to protect the Princess. Someday please rebuild this castle, and our kingdom.

The Queen's image started to flicker,

I don't have much power left so all I can say is Serenity…find a way to happiness.

"Queen! Wait! If you need power I-" Usagi shouted after the Queen, but her image disappeared and the Silver Crystal fell on the ground.

Why was the Silver Crystal so useless at a time like this? It relies on her heart? Then why didn't it work?

"It's almost dawn on Earth we should be getting back." Luna spoke looking at the Earth, which could be seen from a distance.

Usagi looked at the Earth hanging in the sky like a blue crystal ball.

Michiru sat in a chair in a hospital room, next to a hospital bed. In the bed lay Haruka, still and barely breathing.

Michiru looked at Haruka with sad eyes, taking her hand she whispered.

"Oh Haruka…when will you wake up?"

What Michiru wouldn't give to go back to spending carefree days with the Princess.
