Chapter 3

Jupiter's Memories and Fiancé

I do not own Sailor Moon.

Thank you for reading.

Lita lay in bed thinking about what Ami had said. Ami was smarter than her and Ami believed Sailor Moon for a reason. That meant she had reasoning behind it like she always did. "I'll believe too. I trust Sailor Moon." Lita said out loud. The next morning they met at the Arcade. "Ami tell us what you know." Mina commanded. "We're in public." Ami pointed out. Mina considered. "Let's go to my apartment." Lita offered.

When they sat down there was a knock on the door. Lita went to answer it. The girls peered out. There was Sailor Moon smiling. Ami saluted. "Lady Serenity." She said. Sailor Moon's smile widened. "Lady Mercury." She greeted. "Lady Jupiter, you have a present. Good day." She said before disappearing.

"I think you should open it in front of all of us Lita." Mina said. Lita nodded. "Ami, what'll happen if I open this scroll?" Lita asked nervously. "You gain all your memories." Ami said looking pityingly at Lita. "It'll work for all of us?" Mina asked hopefully. "No. Only Lita." Ami said. Mina looked crestfallen. Rei was impossible to read. Lita unrolled the scroll nervously. The paper lay on green silk and it was tied by a pale pink silk cord. But Lita's eyes were drawn to the picture. There she was laying next Nephrite. He was pointing a finger into the sky and she was looking to where the finger was pointing. She touched the scroll. Memories locked away flooded back. The tallest Shitennou of Earth. Taller than even her. Cooking. Gardening. Star-gazing. Pushing Serenity away. Courtship. Engagement. The end of the Silver Millennium. Usagi. Fighting Beryl and healing the Shitennou. Mamoru. The Rainbow Crystals and the Silver Crystal. The Outer Senshi.

Lita gasped. Lita turned to Ami and opened her mouth. "Go ask her." Ami said smiling. Lita's eyes zeroed in on Ami's ring. "That ring. You…." She trailed off as Ami nodded. "What are you two talking about?" Artemis asked. "Luna, Artemis. Who do you think the enemy is?" Ami asked. "Metallia." They said automatically. "Wrong." Ami said. "Then who is it?" Rei asked raising an eyebrow. "The Black Moon Clan." Ami said. "That Prince that had an obsession with Serenity?" Lita asked. Ami nodded. Lita got and ushered them out of the apartment. Then she ran to Usagi's house and knocked.

The pink-haired girl opened the door. "Can I talk to Usagi?" Lita asked. "Usagi!" The girl yelled. "I'm coming Small Lady." Usagi said from the top of the stairs motioning for Lita to come up. Lita followed.

"Renity, Lady Jupiter's here." Usagi said. There was nobody in the room. Serenity stepped out of the mirror. She smiled when she saw Lita. "Nephrite!" She called. Nephrite stepped out of the mirror and smiled at her. She smiled back. "Okay Lita. The girl downstairs Small Lady or Rini is my daughter from thirtieth century Crystal Tokyo and you are not to tell Rei or Mina. I'll talk to you later and answer your questions." Serenity said. Lita nodded. Serenity grinned mischievously. "Walk her home Neph." Serenity ordered. Nephrite nodded and offered Lita his arm. Lita took it hesitantly. He smiled encouragingly and she responded. They started walking to Lita's apartment.

"Who are you?" She asked. He knew she meant this life. "Nicholas West." He said and started searching his subspace pocket. He found what he wants and taking it out he put it in her hand. She looked down and saw her emerald ring. Her eyes widened. "How?" She asked looking up to meet his eyes. "It was in my subspace pocket but I don't know how it got there." He said shrugging. They walked to her apartment talking about stars and wondering who would get their memory back next.

Everyone was standing in front of the apartment when they arrived. "What were you doing?" Mina asked curiously. "I've got to go see the others. See you soon Dryad." He said and kissing her cheek left. Rei was squinting at his back, Mina was looking at her with a devious expression on her face, and Ami was politely looking away. "So what did I miss?" Lita asked. Screams came from the Park as the sun set.

"Venus Crescent Beam!" Venus yelled. It barely affected the monster. "Mars Fire Soul!" Still almost no damage was done. Tuxedo Mask threw some roses which did next to nothing. "Jupiter Coconut Cyclone!" Nothing happened. "What were you doing Jupiter?" Venus asked. "That was one of my attacks." Jupiter said confused. "I think she forgot again." Mercury said dodging the first droid. "Mercury Aqua Mirage!" One of the two turned to dust with a gray gem on top of the pile. "So sorry Lady Jupiter. Renity forgot again and sent you two off before I could remind her." Sailor Moon said putting up a shield for Tuxedo Mask. She tossed Jupiter her antenna, wreath, and Crystal. "Don't use too much energy." Sailor Moon warned. "Jupiter Coconut Cyclone!" The other droid turned to dust. (With a gray gem)Sailor Moon surveyed the damages. Mercury was fine except for a long gash on her right shoulder and Jupiter had a couple wounds on her leg but Venus, Mars, and Tuxedo Mask were definitely worse. Venus was bleeding heavily from various wounds and Mars was barely standing. Tuxedo Mask was barely conscious. "Shitennou." Sailor Moon said bending over Tuxedo Mask. The men teleported to the area. "Bring them." Sailor Moon said as silver light emitted from her hand. The injuries began to close. The Shitennou carried their Senshi over. (Mars and Venus were to tired to fight and Mercury and Jupiter didn't mind) Sailor Moon healed them all.

"Why do you keep doing this?" Tuxedo Mask asked sitting up. "She loves you Prince so if you hurt her ever I'll personally come after you." She warned. Tuxedo Mask was baffled. "Prince?" He asked. She had already turned to the Senshi. "Why should we trust you?" Venus asked sharply. "The Princess trusts her. That should be proof enough." Mercury said softly. "The Princess could be mistaken." Luna said. "Don't be so formal Mercury!" The silvery voice said. "Sorry." Mercury said smiling. "Princess what proof do you have that she is to be trusted?" Artemis asked glaring at Sailor Moon. "Plenty although I don't choose to share it with you." Serenity retorted. "Renity be nice." Sailor Moon said dusting off her skirt. "Sere I want you here." Serenity whimpered. Sailor Moon teleported. "So why exactly are you here?" Venus asked. 'They're allies Venus." Jupiter said rolling her eyes. "Generals from Prince Endymion's court." Mercury added. They (Shitennou) teleported.

"What did you find out?" Venus asked. Mercury and Jupiter exchanged looks. "We can't tell you even if you pull rank on us." Jupiter said. Venus huffed but left it at that. "Let's get some sleep now." She said instead. They all nodded and split.

Jupiter blinked. Mist was everywhere. "Jupiter?" A voice asked hesitantly. She whipped around and relaxed at the sight of Nephrite wandering the mists. They held hands as they wandered the mist. "Lady Jupiter. Lord Nephrite." Sailor Moon smiled appearing in the mist. "Sailor Moon." Jupiter acknowledged. "Do sit down. Would you like some tea?" She asked sitting in an armchair. They sat noticing a sofa and shook their heads. "Well then what are your questions?" Usagi asked. "Who were you in the Silver Millennium?" Jupiter asked. "Lady Serenity, my Lunar Shadow." Serenity said pulling up another armchair from nowhere. "The Phantom Warrior of the Moon?" Jupiter asked incredulously. The two of them nodded. "Who?" Nephrite asked. Jupiter gave him a look. "Lord Zoisite didn't know either." Usagi chuckled. "He memorizes everything." Serenity said making a face. They laughed. "How are you always sending us dreams?" Jupiter asked. "It helps that I have Helios' permission." Usagi said winking. Everything became a bit fuzzy. "Ahh. Looks like our time is up. It's time for you to wake." Usagi said smiling. "Bye!" Serenity chirped. Lita and Nicholas woke to the sounds of birds.
