Chapter 19: the Chibi's

Alex had spent no time in retrieving his sister and teleporting them back to current. Alex lead Serena down the streets of Tokyo after confirming the date with a local news paper and an address in the phone book. Soon they stood in front of a house that looked strangely familiar... Alex knocked on the door and after a short while a woman answered and smiled at him. "While if it isn't the young time traveler from all those years ago. I kept my promise and it was actually 23 years after the last time i saw you that Serenity was conceived."

Just as she said that a girl with blond hair around the age of 12-13 ran past hastily yelling, "Bye, mom." Jumping on a bike with someone that looked like Mamoru.

The woman answered the unspoken question, "That young man has Endymion's spirit and has been like a brother to her. I sometimes questioned having her so late but when i consider having her earlier meant the difference between life and death... anyway is there anything else that you needed?"

The two pre-teens shook their heads and headed out onto the street. Once out of earshot Serena couldn't hold in her anger all Alex had told her was he saved their mom not how, "You BAKA!! how could you did you not think to tell dad's parents to maybe have him later so they would be closer to the same age rather that having mom at our age and dad at like 25!! I can't believe you! How are they suppose to have a relationship that results in children with over ten years between them. I mean I know it isn't impossible but still...Come on we have to fix this!"

"Wait, lets just see what the two of them think see how far off we ... I was," Alex corrected himself after a glare from his sister. She nodded and they teleported to Mamoru's home and waited concealed. It was about 9PM when he returned. They didn't need telepathy to tell what he was thinking, he spoke it allowed. "How could they do this to me, Sere? To us? You are so young and don't see a problem but at this rate i will be close to 50 before we have children and I can only pray that I would live to see our grandchildren..." Tears slowly formed and fell from the twenty-five year olds eyes.

Serena glared at her brother. Alex shrugged and motioned to follow, Serena sighed and followed her brother to their mother's room. Usagi lay sleeping, reluctantly Serena opened the door to Elysion and the two stepped through into their mother's dream. In her dream, more of a nightmare. It showed her being pregnant standing over Mamoru's grave. He died at he age of 60!

Serena glared at her brother, which was starting to become a consistent look, She harshly grabbed his hand and teleported them to the past, once back where he had left her with their grandmother she began making demands.

"Ok so what did you do without me? What did you tell them?"

"I told them that they were carrying serenity and that if they had her before 18 years she would die before she turned 8."

"Well, you are going to go stop yourself and tell them to have her earlier so she will be old enough to fight the youma and then tell dad's parents the same thing."Alex just nodded his sister could be strict when she wanted to be. So off he trekked to do as told.

Two hours later, Alex found his sister sitting in the park. She looked up surprised that he had returned so quickly. He smiled and extended his hand, "Ready to go?"

Sceptically Serena stood up and faced her brother, "Are you sure you fixed the problem?" Happily Alex nodded and after taking his sister's hand they teleported away.

Back in the present, Alex quickly pulled out his mini-computer and tracked down his parent's life signatures. Surprisingly they were at the same location. Smiling he led Serena to the location and knocked. It was a larger spacious house in the upper class part of Tokyo, a beautiful woman in her late twenties to early thirties answered the door. Her hair was golden blond with a silver tint, eyes the color of the ocean ... their was no mistaking her it was Serenity.

Serena looked surprised and smiled at her brother, "Hello, my name is Serena and this is my brother Alex. We are looking for our princess and have reason to believe she is here."

The woman looked confused but then permitted them access to the residence. After serving tea, she spoke, "My name is Usagi Serenity Tsukino, in another life time I was known as the High Princess Serenity of the Silver Millennium. I was betrothed and then married to the High Prince of Earth, Endymion. However in this life the gods have forsaken us." The woman showing the elegance and grace of her previous life, unknowingly let two crystalline tears fall from her eyes.

Alex now felt insecure and as his heart beat increased slowly asked, "How did the gods forsaken you, my lady? For you are as beautiful and elegant as any queen."

Usagi dabbed her eyes dry and smiled, "I will show you as I showed the others. Endy, come here we have guests."

Slowly a small boy no more then eight appeared from the hall behind her, "Sere, I was getting ready to wake Jarod."

"I know, sweety, but these people are here inquiring about Serenity and Endymion." The boy looked from Serena to Alex and the back at Usagi.

He straighted himself and faced them, "Welcome to our home, I am High Prince Endymion of Earth."

Serena felt her temperature rise and if they were alone would have killed her brother. Between clenched teeth Serena spoke, "It is an honor your highness. May we be excused for a few moments I need a word in private with my brother."

Usagi nodded, "Hai, we need to get Jarod ready for supper either way."

"One more question before you go. You aren't his mom are you?"

"No, thank the gods that they did not curse me so. Both biological parents died a year ago about four months after I found him. As heart broken as I was to find my soul mate not even half my age I couldn't leave the two tykes and so brought them to live with me here." With that she turned sadly and left.

"Alex, you BAKA! I can't believe it! It is a wonder you are dad's son. What did you do leave them love notes?"

Alex looked down at the floor, "No, I sent both obaasans letters explaining the situation. The letters were handwritten and I believe would have had Venus-sama's approval."

Serena shook her head, "Look this time I am in charge and we will get this sorted out. Although I am doubtful that we will be able to rectify this in one shot. Unless we enlist Pluto to help us... Henshi oh!"

Usagi watched as the children disappeared from the living room. Silently praying that if she understood what was going on that they would be able to fix it so that her and Endymion could be together as they had been in the past...
