A.N: eeek. Okay, 11 chapters until this story is done! But the sequel will be up almost immediately after. Meggie cracks the whip.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon, now, all of you have read this far. If I owned Sailor Moon, it would not be the anime we know and love! It would be funny, but it just wouldn't be the same.

The Missing Sailor

Chapter 39

Emma was sitting in the dream world of Hoshiko. This time, she was sitting by a pond in a field underneath a weeping willow.

" Hey." Emma turned around to see Hoshiko. She had her hair down and a yellow clip in her hair. She had a long yellow strapless dress on with the star pendant around her neck.

" Hey young lady, I honestly think that dress is too revealing. You're only thirteen!" Emma yelled, then she realized what just escaped her mouth and slapped her hand over her lips. " Did I really say that?"

" Afraid so." Hoshiko giggled. " A little motherly don't you think?" Emma blushed. Hoshiko sat down beside her. There was a long silence.

" Something is bugging you." Emma said. Hoshiko looked over to her.

" Yes. This is the last time you are going to see me." Hoshiko said Emma nodded. " At least until my reincarnation is born." There was another long silence. " Emma, where you are right now, is the gardens of Hoshi. Every thing that was living when Hoshi was destroyed was basically sent to my heaven. I used to spend all of my time here with Mama."

" So where is she?" Emma asked.

" Right over there." Hoshiko pointed over across the pond. There was a woman in a yellow gown waving.

" That's me." Emma said standing up. She turned to Hoshiko but found a ten year old.

" I was ten when I died. Three years ago. Rini lost her best friends. And apparently, her cousin. My mother died when I was seven. Over the past five months, I slowly regained all of my memories. The reason my father died was because, Mama never had a little Hoshiko inside her head to tell what was going to happen. I was able to travel back in time. I died on October 3, 2026. My mother died October 3, 2023. My father died November 22, 2016. Their Wedding Anniversary. I was seven when I was orphaned and had to go to the moon as my last resort to live. I had to continue the Hoshi legacy. After my dad died, My mother had a fight with my aunts and uncles. They all wanted her to take it easy and let My Uncle Amara search for Hoshi. Uncle Josh wanted her to live with him on Venus until she got her life together. It was the day after Christmas when My mother teleported us to Hoshi. She just set her mind to the planet and she found it. I never knew my aunts and uncles, that's part of the reason why I didn't recognize my aunts and uncles when I showed up on the moon. They didn't tell me because they didn't want to confuse me since I already had amnesia."

" But, why do you have to leave now?" Emma asked.

" Because, I can finally give you this." Hoshiko's hands glowed and a long black stick with a gold neck appeared. On top of the neck was a yellow ball with a gold star engraved around it. Three rings turned around the ball. " I can't teach you anymore. I've taught you everything I knew, and you learned all of the rest on your own. I can finally give you the core of my powers, the Star Staff." Hoshiko handed the staff over. And suddenly turned into a seven year old. Emma felt tears stinging her eyes. She knelt down and Hoshiko hugged her.

" I'm going to miss you." Emma said. " But what will happen to you?"

" Oh, Emma." Hoshiko said. She reached up and hugged Emma around the waist. "The world is made of words. Everything I've told you- taught you will help you to unlock the secrets of the world. Just keep your friends close." " And then, you won't have to worry. Just do what you always do, but use the star staff. It mixes your power with my power, doubling its strength."

" Thank you for everything." Emma said.

" Thank you for protecting my future." Hoshiko said. " I'll see you then!" Hoshiko turned. " MAMA!" she ran around the pond and jumped into Emma's future self's arms. " Bye Emma! See you in the future!" Hoshiko waved. The future Emma waved too. Emma waved and started to walk to the tunnel of light. She knew that she was going to win. Nothing could stop her now.

As Emma started to wake up, she heard Hoshiko call her name. She turned. "Make sure you think outside the box!"

"What?" Emma shouted back.

"In that last battle!" Hoshiko was starting to fade away. "Think outside the box! Think outside the box!" Hoshiko seemed to be repeating it to make sure it stuck.

Emma woke up to find that it was still dark outside, and she was still chanting her new mantra. She got up and walked over to her window. "Think outside the box...?"
