Here's the next chapter of Fade Away. I am soo so so sorry that it took so long to get out but I got to a point where it's was hard to write. Oh no, Koneko! Are you giving up on this story? Abandonment? Nope! ^-^ I used a method that has never failed: the Kill a Character, Add a Character rule! It put the story in the direction it needed to go in! Yaay!

RRTAB: Read, Review, and Tell A Buddy!

Disclaimer: I soooo own Sailor Moon. hehe, how many actually believed that? No one? ...okay.

We used a good four hour telling our past incarnates what happened over the last two years only to have them laugh in our faces. I gaped. "W-why are you laughing?"

"I-I apologize," Princess Serenity said in her soft voice between giggles. "But your story, as entertaining as it was, was truly far-fetched."

"Yes," Rei spat, "as far-fetched as a rock with powers to destroy a planet."

"She has a point…," Venus whispered.

"And it would explain why these people look so much like us," Mercury added. "Not to mention that attack Super Sailor Mercury used earlier."

"I had an idea," Serenity exclaimed. She pointed to me. "If you are truly me, then you must possess the Silver Crystal! Show it to me and that will get rid of any doubt."

I exchanged looks with Cosmos and shrugged. "Okay." I tapped my brooch and a bright light enveloped the room.

When the light dimmed, there was a crystal lotus floated above my hands.

"Ha!" Mars cried, "Thaat's your sorry excuse for the Silver Crystal? It doesn't even look like it!"

"Actually," Princess Serenity spoke up, "That 'sorry excuse' is the evolved form of the Silver Crystal, the Silver Moon Crystal. It is only rewarded to the purest hearts of the Serenity clan."

"Then why don't you have one?" Venus asked with curiosity.

"I am not fully pure like my reincarnated version is. She has to be an reincarnation or one of my descendants."

"And you know that is not possible," Cosmos said in a matter-of-fact way.

Jupiter furrowed her brows. "What are you talking about?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You didn't tell them, Sere-chan?" She winced at her nickname.

Venus frowned. She hated not knowing something that had to do with her princess. "Tell us what?"

Serenity giggled nervously. Boy, was I glad that I died instead of going through four angry senshi. "I didn't tell you guys? Whoops…?"

"Whoops, indeed, Serenity no baka!" Mars screamed angrily. "What didn't you tell us?"

Mercury sighed at Mars's approach and turned to me with a pleading look. "Could you please tell us? You seem to know what going on."

I nodded. I knew this was hard for Serenity—it was hard for anyone. I took a deep breath. "During the attack, Serenity fell. Hard."

"What?" the senshi screamed.

Venus and Jupiter rushed to their princess's side. "Oh my goddess," Venus whispered. "Why didn't you tell us?"

"Is the child okay?" Mercury asked in concern.

Serenity looked away but that didn't stop us from seeing the tears fall from her face. "I am sorry that I did not tell you all sooner. I lost the baby."

"And in the Lunarian royal family, you can only bare one child," I explained softly. "Which is another reason we need your help."

"In our time," Mamo-chan continued, "our daughter, Chibi-Usa lives. There is an heir to the Terrain and Lunarian throne."

Serenity was finally convinced. A second chance for her child was something she couldn't pass up on. "What must we do to fix the timeline?"

I took a deep breath. "You have t—."

I was cut off a pink cloud suddenly covering the ceiling. The cloud opened and out fell the pink-headed spore I called my daughter onto, non other than, my neck.

"My neck is brooooken!" I wailed.

Chibi-Usa scoffed. "I'm not fat like you, Usagi-baka."

"Chibi-Usa," Mamo-chan said as he picked the pink-haired child up. "I thought you disappeared!"

"Mamo-chan, you've been spending too much time with Usagi!"

My boyfriend furrowed his brows. "What do you mean?"

"I have the Pink Moon Crystal! That means I'm here until the end!"

I rolled my eyes and rubbed my aching neck. "Lucky us. We try to save Ami and get stuck with the devil incarnate instead."

Chibi-Usa smirked. "Papa says in take after you."

My eyes narrowed. "Liar."

"Nu uh." She blew a raspberry.

No matter how many times I denied it, this was definitely my daughter. I blew a raspberry right back at her.

Rei rolled her eyes. "Yeah," she said sarcastically, "no resemblance at all."

Neo-Queen Serenity chuckled and pulled her daughter from Mamo-chan's arms. "Where were you, Small Lady?" she asked sternly.

The seven-year-old smiled brightly at her mother. "With Puu. She told me to stay away from the silver haired one and sent me here."

"Silver haired one?" I repeated. Surely Pluto wasn't talking about Queen or Princess Serenity. Maybe the person that caused this mess in the first place?

"Aawww!" Serenity obviously forgot about all the sadness she had and pulled me out of my thoughts. "This is my daughter in the future? Mine and Endymion's?"

Chibi-Usa broke out of her mother grasp. "Hi. I'm Princess Small Lady Usagi Serenity Chiba. Nice to meet you."

"You. Are. So. Cute," were the only word Serenity could say. We all rolled our eyes. Like the brat didn't know that already. Obviously, that didn't stop Serenity from going ga-ga over her. I'd hate to see what happen if she ever met Chibi Chibi.

Minako stood up, finally sick of Serenity going on and on about the obvious.

"Where are you going?" Makoto asked.

"To check on Ami," she replied simply. I nodded and watched her leave. Kudos to her for finding a way out of this yuck-fest.

"Serenity," I yelled over her constant cooing.

"Hmmmm."

"How exactly did you all survive Beryl's attack? Your guards aren't that great."

"Or good, for that matter," Rei added.

Serenity nodded in agreement. "We were on the verge of losing when a handsome prince offered his alliance for a small price. His powers were quite amazing. With one swipe of his hand, the entire Dark Kingdom was vaporized!"

I bit my lip. I couldn't put my finger on it, but something didn't quite seem right. "What was the prince?"

"M—" Serenity was cut off by a scream.

"Minako!" Neo-Queen Serenity panicked.

We rushed to Ami's room. My friends weren't there but instead there was a face that I hoped I never had to see again.

Yay! Done! Well who do you think mess up the timeline. I threw in lots of hints.

What do you think of me adding Chibi-Usa? Yes? No? Tell me in a review!

*Please tell me of any typos you find so I can fix them ASAP!*
