AN: I'M SORRY! I will try and wrap this story up in next couple of day. I have been busy with Christmas and what not. Hope everyone had a good Christmas. Sadly I didn't get a Sailor Moon Manga Box set and therefore the only thing I own is a box set of Sailor Moon DVDs.
"Darling, Serenity, wake up my daughter." A calm voice spoke. Usagi opened her eyes and found herself back on the moon, in the moon kingdom, in a guest room; she was dressed in her white gown from the moon kingdom. Usagi looked around and saw Queen Serenity standing in front of her.
"What happened?" asked Usagi as she got out of the bed she had been laying on.
"You were killed in your time. I could sense something happening sent Sailor Pluto to investigate. I managed to keep you alive by connecting you with your past self's energy. My daughter is in a coma at the moment so that you can still stay conscious in your time." Replied the queen. She led Usagi outside of the palace.
"How do I get back? What about Chibi-Usa?" asked Usagi frantically as they walked in the gardens of the palace.
"I'm here." Replied a small voice from behind the queen. The queen stepped aside to reveal Chibi-Usa in her formal gown as well. "Obaa-san has been looking after me, the last couple of days." (AN: For those who don't know, Obaa-San = grandmother)
"Chibi-Usa will be fine as long as you are alive. I can send you back to your time with a temporary time key. Once you enter your time the key vanishes." Replied Queen Serenity as she took Usagi's hand.
"Well, why don't I go now?" asked Usagi.
"I was waiting for you to wake up." Replied Queen Serenity as if it was obvious. Chibi-Usa rolled her eyes and sighed
"Well why didn't you wake me sooner!?" panicked Usagi.
"I told Obaa-San to wake you up straight away but she didn't listen to me." Replied Chibi-Usa looking sternly at her grandmother.
"Well, you looked really peaceful…" Queen Serenity said shamefully looking at the ground. Her cheeks were red. Usagi rolled her eyes and couldn't believe this was her mother from the past. "There is one thing, you need to know." The queen added.
"What's that?" asked Usagi.
"You're only a consciousness. When you get back, nobody will see you. You'll need to enter your body. But you'll need to do it within 24 hours or else you will die because my daughter here can't sustain you for very much longer." Replied Queen Serenity looking at Usagi straight in the eye.
"Well how do I get back into my body?"
"Well…it's a bit corny." Queen Serenity looked down at the ground sheepishly again.
"Well?" asked Usagi again starting to get impatient.
"True love's kiss. And it only works if he figures it out." Queen Serenity blushed. Usagi's eyebrow raised in disbelief.
"Really? That is pretty corny." Usagi replied then sighed. For a regal queen, her mother from the past really didn't act like it at times. Perhaps that's where she inherited her childish habits from. The queen nodded shamefully and held her hand out to reveal a time key in her palm
"Alright then. I better get going then a figure a way for Mamo-Chan to kiss me when he can't even see me." Usagi concluded as she took the time key from her past mother's hand. She then took Chibi-Usa's hand and looked down at her. "Ready to go?"
Chibi-Usa nodded then gave a wave to her grandmother before they used the time key to transport back to the present time.
"Usagi?" Chibi-Usa said softly as they walked through the time fog.
"Yeah?" Usagi replied not taking her eyes off the direction they were walking.
"Obaa-san is way more ditzier than you. I mean, when you were asleep, she kept forgetting who I was." Chibi-Usa commented blankly. Usagi laughed but then stopped abruptly. Chibi-Usa turned her head to see what Usagi was looking at. It was the door to the present time.
"I know everyone is sad about Usa-Chan and Chibi-Usa but I know they wouldn't want us to be sad on Christmas day. I made gingerbread cookies for everyone and there's hot chocolate too." Ikuko had a basket of cookies in one hand and a large thermos in the other. Everyone except for Setsuna was at the hospital on Christmas day in Usagi's room. It made the room very crowded.
"Thank you Ikuko-San." Replied Mamoru with a small smile and took the thermos from Ikuko's hand to serve to everyone.
No-one had realised but Usagi and Chibi-Usa appeared. Chibi-Usa stood next to Mamoru and touched his hand. Mamoru looked around but couldn't see anything. He swore he felt someone touch him and he had almost hoped it had been Chibi-Usa.
"Looks like Obasaan was right. It's like we are invisible." Commented Chibi-Usa watching Rei pass the hot chocolate around.
"Well, how do we get Mamo-Chan to kiss me?" asked Usagi as she stood in front of Mamoru. She looked deep in his eyes and wished he could see her.
Just then a crash could be heard, everyone looked in Rei's direction. Rei had dropped a mug of hot chocolate.
"Are you okay Rei?" asked Ami.
"I can feel Chibi-Usa's presence and Usagi-Chan's as well." Replied Rei as she bent down to pick up the mug. Luckily it was made of plastic and didn't shatter. Ikuko got Shingo to get a mop to clean up the chocolate and told her husband to make sure he didn't get lost. She did this so the girls could talk.
"I can feel it too." Michiru commented looking at Haruka.
"That means there's still a chance." Whispered Mamoru as he looked back at the unconscious blonde girl in the bed.
"They can sense us! Quick we need to find a way to get them to know we are here." Chibi-Usa said happily. Usagi smiled cheekily then started to tickle Rei. Rei started to laugh hysterically. Everyone stared at Rei in bewilderment.
"STOP! STOP! I can't stand it anymore." Rei cried laughing in between words.
"Are you okay?" asked Lita worriedly. Chibi-Usa rolled her eyes at her future mother but decided to join in and all of a sudden Lita started laughing hysterically as well.
"I think they've gone mad." Commented Artemis.
"No, I think, I think, yes…I'm sure of it." Luna contemplated. "USAGI! CHIBIUSA! Stop now." She yelled. All of a sudden, Rei and Lita stopped laughing. They dropped to the ground puffing. "I knew it." Luna smiled.
"I knew that would work." Usagi said happily looking at Chibi-Usa. Chibi-Usa rolled her eyes again but smiled. She decided that maybe Usagi and her Obasaan were just as ditzy and childish as each other.
"What just happened Luna?" asked Ikuko. She had grown accustom to talking to a cat but everything else was still strange to her. Everyone looked at Luna wanting to know as well what happened. Luna jumped onto Usagi's bed at stood at her feet.
"Usagi is here but we can't see her. I remember back on the moon kingdom, the queen could link herself or the princess to other people so that they could have a chance to live while they recovered. I think the queen must have linked Usagi's past self with our Usagi." Luna explained. Everyone still looked confused so she continued on. "I've only see the queen do it once but she said that it is quite draining. She said that once the person is able to recover on their own, the link needs to be broken within 24 hours or else the person will really die."
"So how do we break the link?" asked Mamoru looking at the sleeping Usagi. He placed his hand over hers.
"I can feel that." Usagi whispered as she stood by her body and watched Mamoru.
"I'm not sure." Replied Luna sadly.
"It's okay Luna. We'll find a way." Replied Ami. "In the meantime, Usagi? If you can hear us give us a sign." Usagi looked at Chibi-Usa and made a small smile. They both went to Rei and Lita again and tickled them.
"Stop Odango! Stop!" Yelled Rei. Everyone laughed.
"Okay then, I guess. Two tickles if you know how to break the link, one tickle if you don't?" Suggested Ami unsurely.
Usagi smiled again and tickled Rei four times. "AMI-CHAN! TELL HER TO STOP!" Rei cried.
"Well, I guess that's a yes. But how do we get Usagi to tell us? Do we just guess and Usagi can tickle Rei yes or no?" asked Mina
"NO! We are not doing that!" Yelled Rei.
AN: Hopefully only one chapter left... See you then
