Disclamer: I do not own sailor moon!

AN: Hey I am back! I decided to do a quick chapter while work on some ideas for the next one to come along.

Chapter 5: Struggles

Bright light and swirling mists surrounded rose on all sides as she felt herself falling like Alice in wonderland down the rabbit hole. As her eyes adjusted to the light she began to see strange images of places and things that she had never seen shimmer across the tendrils of fog.

Then there was an image she seemed to recognize, there floating in front of her eyes was her home crystal Tokyo in all of its glory before the war of chaos began. Rose couldn't help but gasp at its beauty and wondered if she was really awake or if she was in a dream watching her memories and thoughts float past her.

Rose could not help it when she began to reach her hand towards the vision in the mist, when her finger tips touched the surface the image shimmered and then faded away. Rose couldn't help but let out a sob as the image of crystal Tokyo was now gone.

Not wanting to be in this floating world any longer she yelled, "Pluto, anyone please help me!!" she was disappointed when her voice seemed to quickly disappear in the mist. Rose sighed, closing her eyes and in that brief moment of hesitation the mist became thicker and thicker here eyes snapped open when she felt the difference in the air closing in around her.

Rose began to panic when the thick mist surrounded her and then she felt her throat constrict and her body tense. The air was so thick that she couldn't breathe; Rose began to panic and tried to swipe away the mist around her in order to get air. Then something strange happened. Her body stopped floating down and was stuck suspended in air when the thick mist underneath her began to thin out and shimmer with colors. She couldn't help but look down when she felt a cool breeze of air come rushing from under her feet.

Rose sucked in a much needed breath of air, her senses calmed when she felt the cool breeze on her skin. The thin fog at her feet shimmering a sky blue color. Rose then felt a pit in her stomach and then her stomach seemed to suddenly drop making her a little ill as she sat suspended in the air. Then she felt a forceful tug at her feet and began falling through the blue shimmer away from the thick mist and into a blue sky at a ridiculously high speed. Her black pigtails were above her head whipping in the wind. She looked down again and realized that she was high up in the air and falling quite fast back to earth.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA," Rose could not help but scream as she got closer and closer to the ground, seeing as she had nothing to slow her down she looked for something that might cushion her fall. She thanked the stars that she was falling towards a lake.

Her body finally made contact with the lake as a giant splash followed her as she sank under the water. She had gone down several feet in the water and stealthily made her way to the surface, while trying not to drown.

She broke the surface and spit the water out that she had required during the fall. Her hair was floating all around her since she had lost her hair pins in the lake. She took in a couple of gulps of air as she managed to keep herself afloat with her arms and legs. Rose felt goose bumps begin to form on her skin seeing as the water was quite cold. She circled around in the water to try and find the quickest exit and noticed that there was a doc to the right of her about ten feet away. She began to make her way to the dock edge and saw a pair of feet running on the dock towards her. Rose grabbed the edge of the dock while trying to lift herself out, but exhausted all she could do was cling to the side.

The pair of legs bent down and offered their hand to the shivering Rose. She lifted her hand out of the water toward them and then was pulled completely out of the water, by the kind person.

"Thanks," Rose managed to mutter while shivering.

"No problem! I was glad to help, it is not everyday one gets to see someone appear out of thin air and then rescue them." They chuckled.

Rose gave a weak smile and then collapsed on the wooden dock.
