By Katelyn Birmingham E-mail: Katelyn86@lunap.com http://sailoralderaan.tripod.com/ Just in case anyone's curious, my next time-traveller-who-gets-Usagi- and-Mamoru-togther will be either Neo-Queen Serenity or Sailor Galaxia. If you want to tell me what you think, please e-mail me and tell me which one you would rather see! Standard disclaimers apply. The characters of Sailormoon and the basic plotline are not mine but this STORY is. Easy, ne?Now...on to the show!!!*** Serenity dragged Usagi quickly toward the festival, careful not to step on anyone's feet as she pulled the girl. "Usagi! Usagi! We must meet Endy-san-" she cut off abruptly as she slammed into a man in front of them - a black-haired man wearing a green jacket. A familiar man. Pluto hit her forehead. 'Here we go again,' she thought to herself. ************************************** Princess Serenity...1000 Years Later?! ************************************** Part 2 ************************************** By Katelyn Birmington ************************************** Serenity looked up at the man glaring down at Usagi. "Odango Atama, can't you watch where you're going? Act more adult," he snapped at Usagi. Serenity was steamed immediately. Making fun of the royal moon hairstyle was not allowed! Though, she reasoned with herself, Endymion certainly did it enough. "Excuse me, umm..." she trailed off a moment and Usagi jumpedright in. "This is Mamoru-baka. He's some jerk I bump into a lot - just ignore him," she explained. Serenity nodded. "Usagi-chan?" she asked. "May I go talk to someone? I see Mars-chan." Usagi nodded and Serenity trotted off to find Rei, who she had just spotted. She hadn't yet realized that the senshi didn't have their memories back yet. She ran up to Rei and tugged on her arm. "Mars-sama!" she bowed slowly. "It's me! Serenity!" Rei looked at her like she was odd. "Umm...have we met? I think you mean someone else," Rei said as she pried Serenity's grip off her arm. "Who is Mars-sama?" Serenity cocked her head and gave Rei a long look. "You aren't Mars-sama," she stated at last. "Gomen nasai." She took off running back the way she came. 'I sense something,' Rei thought as she walked away. 'That girl - strange vibes came from her...what was her name? Serenity?' Usagi was still arguing with Mamoru when Serenity returned. Usagi took one look at the bummed look on Serenity's face and walked away from Mamoru, who was smirking after her. "What's wrong, Serenity-chan?" Usagi asked, looking up withconcern in her eyes. "Princess Mars-sama doesn't know me," she sobbed, crystalline tears falling out onto the sidewalk. "And...and it's dark and late and...waitasecond, how come there are so many kids out here if it's midnight?" she asked, looking around. Usagi stifled a giggle. "Serenity-chan, it's a special festival. Of course, MY parents weren't so kind as to allow me to come," she huffed. "It's a festival that honors the moon." "The moon," Serenity breathed, looking up in the sky at the full moon shining dangerously above her. "You know, there is an old fairy tale my mother used to tell me when I was young. Once, long ago, on the New Moon there lived a small princess. She was very beautiful but also selfish and she was consumed by evil. They say she shall forever haunt those of the white moon...it scared me," Serenity finished. "It scared me a lot." Usagi looked up at her with surprise. "Is that the Dark Kingdom and that creepy general guy?" she asked with alarm. Serenity looked at her. "Creepy general gu-" "MONSTER!" someone shrieked. Usagi dropped to the ground with Luna beside her. She dragged Serenity away with her. "Youma..." she whispered. "Maybe you'll see this general now. He sometimes shows up to help the youma." Serenity gave a nod and dashed off with Usagi on her tail. They reached the safety of a brick wall and Usagi pulled outa brooch. "Moon prism power, make-up!" Behind them, they heard a shout. "Mercury power, make-up!" Serenity glanced at them in alarm as two Sailor senshi stood where two normal humans had stood momentsbefore. "Sailor...Moon?" she asked. "There was no...Sailor Moon..." She felt faint as she sat down on the cool grass. "And Princess Ami-chan." Sailor Mercury looked at her, surprised. "Who ARE you, Serenity?" Sailor Moon asked. "I am the Moon Princess, Usagi-chan...no, Sailor Moon. I liedto you." "The Princess?" Mercury looked surprised and Serenity didn't blame her. "Sailor Moon, explain later. Right now we need to defeat that youma!" Sailor Moon nodded and the two ran off. Serenity followed, determined not to be caught off her guard like that. She jumped over a wall and crawled into a niche created by a bunch of bushes where she could see the battle perfectly. Sailor Moon used her 'Moon Tiara Action' and the youma was destroyed. Then, a blond man appeared above Moon and Mercury... and Serenity gasped. "Jadeite-kun!" she pushed her way out of the bushes toward the towering general. "It's me! Serenity!" He looked at her oddly and blasted her with dark energy. "Come any closer, princess, and you die," he snapped. Serenity gasped and there was a flash of light as she turned into her princess self. "If Princess Mars-sama knew what you were doing she'd...she'd flame sniper you all the way to Pluto!" Serenity shouted at him. He looked surprised. He blasted them all with dark energy as he pulled himself into a dark hole to the Dark Kingdom.*** "So Jadeite-kun is on the Dark Kingdom's side?" Serenity asked Usagi. Usagi nodded. "I'm afraid so...whoever he is." "He's Endymion's guard and in love with Princess Mars-san," the blond girl said absent-mindedly, stroking Luna with one hand and watching the man who looked like Endymion with the other. "What's flame sniper?" Ami asked as she typed something into her computer. Serenity grinned up at her. "Princess Mars' attack as Sailor Mars, of course! Yours is Mercury Aqua Rhapsod-" "SERENITY!" Setsuna appeared before her with a stern look on her normally calm features and Serenity jumped back with a yelp. "Haven't I taught you NOT to effect the future?" Serenity glanced up at her friend. "I came to escape and-" "Odango?" a deep voice asked. Serenity cursed herself for letting Mamoru out of her sight and whirled around. "Did this woman," he gestured at Setsuna, "just appear from mid-air?" A time key materialized in Setsuna's hand and she waved it in front of his face. "Come with me, Endymion-sama," she hissed under her breath. "I need to tell you something." She dragged him away. Usagi looked astonished but Serenity was happy. "Come on, Usagi-chan! We have to find Mamoru-san and tell him that you love him!" Usagi turned to her past self with a look that could kill in her blue eyes. "Serenity!" she whined. "He is your soul-mate," Serenity grinned. "Don't you worry - I know these things!" "She's a lot like you, Usagi-chan," Ami giggled - and screamed as Setsuna appeared in front of them again. "Usagi-san, you must return to your house. You too, Ami-san. The Dark Kingdom will not attack tonight, and if they do I will stop them," she told the girls. "Serenity-sama, you must come with me. We are going to have a chat with Mamoru-san and then we are going home." "Home? But-" "Whether you LIKE IT or NOT," Setsuna snapped at her, dragging the reluctant princess away. Usagi and Ami started back down the street toward their homes with Luna walking behind them. (AN: Has anyone ever noticed that Luna tends to get over-looked in fanfics? ^_~)*** Mamoru was sitting, dazed, on a park bench when the green- haired woman appeared again, this time with his beloved Usagi's friend. "Mamoru-san, I have explained that you are Tuxedo Kamen, correct?" the woman began without preamble. "Yes. And now I realize that it's true..." Mamoru sighed. "This is Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom." Mamoru gave a start and Setsuna grinned. "Yes, the princess from your dreams. I- I am Sailor Pluto, guar-" "Guardian of time and all that nonsense yes we know," Serenity interupted. "Can we get on with it?" She yawned, "I'm TIRED." "That's why you're going HOME," Setsuna commanded. "Now, sit." Serenity sat next to Mamoru and looked at him. "He's Endy," she commented. "YES," Setsuna replied, losing her so-carefully trained patience. "He IS Endy. Now, LISTEN." Serenity looked up at her. "I don't want to go home," she said softly, tears starting to form in her eyes. "Puu-chan, I don't WANT to go home!" Pluto sighed. "Serenity-sama, you know your acting doesn't work on me. Now, can I explain why you're here instead of home in the past already or must you stall any longer?" Serenity said nothing. "Good. Mamoru, you must protect Sailor Moon and Tsukino Usagi at all cos-" "Oh!" Serenity shrieked, standing up. "Youma!" The monster was a little ways back, sucking energy from an unlucky group of campers in the park. "Shimatta." "Pluto planet power, make-up!" Setsuna yelled, tossing her henshin pen in the air. The proud Sailor Pluto stood where Setsuna had just been. There was a flash of light and Serenity was in her princess clothes again. Mamoru pulled out a rose and turned into Tuxedo Kamen. The three headed toward the monster. Usagi turned around from entering her window and began to climbout again. "What's wrong, Usagi-chan?" Luna demanded. "Come on in before you catch a cold." "Youma," Usagi whispered. <> a voice appeared. <> "Serenity is communicating telepathically with me." "Well," Luna looked uncertainly at the park when a flash of purple energy lit the skies up around there. "There's obviously SOME- thing going on. Go, Usagi-chan." "Hai. Moon prism power, make-up!" She ran toward the park. Serenity watched the youma throw Tuxedo Kamen down hard on the ground. She pulled him into a cluster of trees as he powered down into Chibi Mamoru again. She heard a clamber of boots and looked to see Sailor Moon helping Pluto out. The youma, however, was strong. It had been sent by Queen Beryl to remove Serenity and Pluto, not just suck energy. "Dead scream!" Pluto attacked. The youma grinned, sucking up the energy from the attack. It lashed out at her and Pluto disappeared into thin air. Jadeite appeared above the spot where Sailor Moon was watching, astonished, where Pluto had disappeared. "I have your little friend, Princess Serenity, and as long as I have her...you can't go back!!!" he laughed evilly and disappeared. "Where is Mamo-chan?" Usagi asked, then she covered her mouth. "I mean, Mamoru-san?" "In here...he's hurt, I'm afraid," Serenity nodded. Usagi looked down at him with love in her eyes and Serenity touched her on the shoulder. "We'd better take him to the hospital - he got hit pretty hard by that youma...he might not make it." Usagi looked up at her, about to burst into tears. "Really?" "I'm sorry, Usagi-chan," Serenity whispered. "I'm very, verysorry."*** So? Like? Hate? Want to kill me for leaving off at a cliffhanger? ^_~ please e-mail me! Katelyn86@lunap.com Thanks!
