RRTAB: Read, Review, and Tell A Buddy!

Disclaimer: I WISH I owned Sailor Moon!

Sailor Cosmos breathed heavily. "L-let's go," she said, her hands outstretched.

Selene and Moon both took one. "Are you okay, Queen?" Usagi asked, "You look a little pale."

Cosmos managed a nod. "We have to get to the Moon Castle. Cosmos Power!"

Selene and Moon exchanged glances, "Moon Power!"

"Moon Goddess Power!"

"Sailor Teleport!"

The three Serenitys immediately teleported to the princess's room. Usagi frowned. Why was everyone surrounding the bed? "Guys?"

Mamoru was the first to respond. He ran to his future wife and took her in his arms. "Usako! Thank goodness you're alright!"

"Yeah," Usagi giggled, de-transforming. "Why wouldn't I be? It's not like I was fighting Chaos."

"Usako," Mamoru whispered softly. He put the blonde down. "There's something wrong with Chibi-Usa. We thought something happened to you."

Usagi didn't hear the last part. She, instead, was running to her daughter's half-faded form. "Chibi-Usa," she cried, not bothering to hide her tears, "Chibi-Usa! Wake up! Do you hear me? Wake up, right now!"

The child meekly opened her eyes. "Why are you crying, Usagi-baka?"

"I-I don't understand," Usagi whimpered. "W-we defeated Dimande. Shouldn't everything be fine now?"

Rei shook her head. "Defeating him didn't stop the damage already done."

Usagi buried her head in her hands. "Why?"

"Usagi," Neo-Queen Serenity rubbed the back of her neck. "Listen, I—."

"You knew, didn't you," Usagi accused her future self without looking up.

"Usag—."

"Didn't you?"

The queen winced. It didn't take a genius to figure out how angry Usagi was. "Do you trust me?" Her body started to become more transparent.

"What kind of questi—."

"Do you trust me? Usagi? Small Lady?" Chibi-Usa immediately nodded. After a second, Usagi nodded as well. "What about everyone else?" Simultaneous nods were her answer. "Then everyone leave."

Usagi and Mamoru opened their mouth to object but said nothing. One by one, everyone stepped outside and closed the door behind them. Neo-Queen Serenity sat at her daughter's side. "Everything will be okay, my daughter."

"Mama," a lone tear ran down Chibi-Usa's face, "do you promise? We won't disappear forever?"

Serenity kissed the fading girl's forehead. "Everything will work out for the best," she smiled sadly, "It always does."

Chibi-Usa smiled back. "You're right, Mama."

Thirty minutes was enough time, Usagi decided. She opened the door to the room. "Chi—," tears started falling again. "No…" Usagi shut the door to prevent the others from seeing the sight she did. "Mamo-chan," she hugged him and sobbed.

"Usako?"

"They're gone! We have to see Queen Serenity. Right now! We have to get them back. Minako, Ami, Chibi-Usa, they're all gone!"

"Usako," Mamoru felt so helpless. He hated that feeling of not being able to help his little bunny. "Let's go, then. She's expecting us, remember?"

Usagi nodded. "I remember. The throne room is this way." The blonde took her prince's hand in her and led the way. Makoto and Rei followed close behind.

"I'm afraid," Sailor Selene called after them, before de-transforming, "this is where we part. Endymion is expecting us in the kitchen. I hope everything works out. Good luck!"

Usagi turned her head to see them. "Thank you. For everything."

"Luna," the queen of the moon tapped her foot impatiently, staring at the entrance, "These visitors you mentioned were supposed to be here by now."

"I-I know," Luna replied. "Trust me, my queen, I am not lying to you."

She grinned, showing off her playful nature, "I'm not saying that you lied. Perhaps, you were, how do they say it? Duped?"

Luna gaped. "Never! I assure you, your majesty, this is quite a serious matter! Time traveling!"

"Is not permitted. Sailor Pluto would never break that sacred law. Besides, if they are truly time travelers, would they not be on time?" There was a knock at the entrance door.

"Maybe that's them," Luna smirked.

"Quiet you," Serenity playfully snapped. She called to the door, "Enter!"

Makoto pushed the door at record speed. Usagi gripped Mamoru's hand a bit tighter as the remaining senshi walked inside. Whether she knew it or not, Queen Serenity was their last hope. "Queen," Usagi struggled to find her voice.

The queen nodded. "Luna has told me you are the reincarnations of my daughter and her court. Is that so?"

Usagi nodded. "I'm Princess Serenity. My eyes aren't usually so red."

Queen Serenity smiled then turned her attention to Mamoru. "And you are Endymion."

"Yes ma'am."

The queen nodded. "Excellent. Now why, my daughter, have you been crying?"

"Thanks to Dimande, history was altered," Rei explained. Usagi was having a hard time speaking at the moment. "The Silver Millennium was supposed to fall during Beryl's invasion. Since everyone lived, we were never reincarnated. None of our time was. That's why we came to you. We were hoping that you could fix the timeline before we disappeared permanently."

Serenity let out a deep breath. "I-I wish I could, Mars," she said with sympathy, "but either way you look at it, you're asking me to kill my kingdom. I'm truly sorry, but I must think of my daughter's and my kingdom's wellbeing before I think of someone else's."

"But she is your daughter!" Makoto objected. She had to help! Didn't she understand the seriousness of the situation?

Serenity was silent for a moment. "I have made my decision. Please attend the wedding in five days. I'm sure it will be something to remember."

"No, it won't," Usagi cried, "We've always been able to overcome situations on our own, but now, we need your help! Please! We'll be dead in five days! Please!"

"My decision stands. Serenity, Endymion, Mars, Jupiter. Five days." Serenity dismissed herself and left the room, Luna following at her heel.

Usagi's eyes held unshed tears. What was the point of crying now? No one was going to help them. It was final. They were going to die.

And that's the first part of *DUN DUN DUUUN* the final chapter! I think it turned out really good. It leaves plenty of room for questions and feedback. The second part will probably be out on Thursday. Maybe.

Well, I love your suggestions and opinions! So leave a pretty review! They make me smile!
