	“How is she, Luna?” Seiya asked as he and Mayo walked into my 
room.  I was conscious, but I decided to leave my eyes closed for fear that 
the world would start spinning like it had earlier in the morning.

>>Flashback<<

	“Serena!  Sit down!  You’re in no shape to be moving about!” Lita 
and Luna snapped as I tried to get up and get dressed.
	“OH God!  Lita help!” I screamed as everything started to spin and 
my body fell limply to the ground.  Lita rushed from her spot in the doorway 
to help me up from the floor and into bed.
	A few minutes passed and suddenly my room was filled with Scouts, 
StarLights, Darien, the cats, and my parents.  “Lita what happened?  We 
heard Sere scream.” Setsuna asked worriedly.  
	“She tried to get up and fell down.  I think everything is spinning for 
her.” Lita replied before she yawned.
	“Lita, I’ll take over watch.  Go ahead and get some rest.” Darien said 
as he sat down in the chair next to my bed.

	“Seiya, she’s conscious, but I think after this morning, she’s afraid to 
get up.” Luna spoke as she jumped up on the bed and lay next to me.
	“Hello Seiya and Mayo.  How are you?” I asked as I slowly opened 
my eyes.
	“How are you Sere?” Mayo asked as she sat next to me.
	“I’m okay.  The world isn’t spinning anymore.”
	“Will you see Darien?” Seiya asked.
	“I don’t wanna deal with that right now.  I’m still pissed at him.” I said 
as Seiya slowly helped me sit up.
	“Sere, he didn’t forget about your anniversary tomorrow.  He knew 
how special it was to you, it’s just they really need his help tomorrow.  They 
only have one doctor tomorrow in ICU.  I should know, I work there, too.” 
Mayo said as she patted my arm.
	“Odango, just talk to him.  For me.”  Seiya asked as he started for 
the door.  When he opened it, Darien was standing behind it.
	“We’ll leave you two alone.  If you need us, call.” Mayo said as she 
picked up Luna and went downstairs with Seiya.
	“Usako, how are you feeling?” Darien asked as I starred at my 
blankets.
	“I’m fine.  How are you?  That energy drain was massive.” I said as 
tears fell down my cheeks.
	“Usako, I’m fine.  I was just worried about you.  Are you still mad at 
me?” he asked as he starred at me.
	“Yes and no.  I’m glad you remembered our anniversary, but I’m 
upset that you have to work on that day of days.” I said as I snapped my 
head up to see what grabbed me.  It was Darien.  He held my hands and 
looked into my eyes.
	“Usako, I’m sorry.  Look, with all the over time I have been putting 
in, I’m going to be able to get you a special anniversary present.  It will be a 
little late though.”
	“That’s okay.  I love you.” 
	“I love you too.” Darien said as I slowly drifted to sleep in his arms 
before he placed my back on the bed.

	“Uh!  Where are we Luna P?” a pink-haired girl asked as she got up 
from where she had landed.
	“In the 1990’s.  About two maybe three years after you left.”
	“So.  Mom sent me back to train did she?  Diana, where are you?” 
the eleven year old asked.
	“Right here Usa.  What are we going to do?” the tiny gray kitten 
asked.
	“We have to find Mommy and Daddy.  I have to train with Mommy.  
Come on.  Let’s go.” Reenie said as the three ran off in search of me.

*	*	*	*	*	*	*	*	*	*
	
	“Serena, sweetie, wake up.” Mom said in an attempt to get me out of 
bed.
	“Five more minutes Mom.” I said as I drifted back to sleep.
	“Serena, get up!” Luna screamed. 
	“Luna, go away unless you want to be a dead kitty.” I moaned as I 
tried to slide back into sleep.
	“Usako, please get up.  It’s an emergency.” Darien said sweetly but 
urgently.
	“Okay, I’m up!  What’s going on?” I screamed.
	“Sere, it’s Reenie.  She’s here in Tokyo.  We need Sailor Moon if 
you’re up to it.  The Inners, Outers, and the Lights have already left to find 
her.” Mayo said quietly.
	“Oh my!  Reenie’s back?  Hold on.” I screamed as I jumped from my 
bed.  Suddenly, my world started spinning, again.  “No!  Not again!” I 
screamed as I started to hit the floor,
	“Usako!” Darien yelled as he caught my limp body.
	“Darien, help me up.  If I can transform, I should be able to walk.” I 
said as he lifted my body to a standing position.
	“Do I have to hold you during you transformation?” he asked as a 
smile played across his lips.
“Maybe, just to be on the safe side.” I said.  
“MOON….ETERNAL...MAKE- UP!” I screamed as my transformation 
began.  Darien held me through the whole thing.
	“Serena, try and stand on your own.” he said as he loosened his grip 
on my waist.
	“Okay.  Darien, I can stand on my own.  Let’s see if I can walk.” I 
said as I started to walk across the room.
	“Nice job Sere.” Mayo said.  “What’s wrong with Darien?” she 
asked as he was engulfed with a bright light.
	“Oh, he’s turning into Tuxedo Mask.  It happens every time I 
transform and he’s within a hundred-mile radius.  It’s nothing.” I laughed as 
Mayo looked on in awe.
	“Nothing.  Really?” she asked in shock.  
	“That wasn’t what you said the first time you saw me transform.” 
Darien commented with a laugh.
	“Look who’s talking.  Let’s go.  I want to save Reenie ASAP.” I said 
as Darien and I raced out of the house.  Once outside, we took to the roofs 
of the buildings to get to our destination.

	“Mommy!” Reenie screamed as the youma tried to catch her.  
Suddenly, a beam of light shot out of her forehead for the second time this 
evening.
	“Reenie!” several voices shouted from behind her.
	“Scouts!” Reenie shouted while the youma stopped attacking her.
“Yo, nega creep!  Don’t you know not to mess with innocent people, 
especially my friends and family?” I asked from the shadows.
	“Who said that	?” the youma asked in anger and frustration.
	“I did.  I stand for love and justice.  I’m the protector of the innocent.  
On behalf of the moon, I will punish you!  I am ETERNAL SAILOR MOON
	!” I screamed as I stepped forth from my hiding place.
	“Well, well, well.  If it isn’t the queen moon brat herself.” The youma 
sneered.  “So, where’s cape boy?  Oh yeah, you two don’t love each other 
anymore and are drifting apart now, aren’t you?” he said sarcastically.
	“Well, if we’re drifting apart like you say we are, then why am I 
standing here with my beloved.” Darien asked as he joined me in front of the 
youma.
	“Damn!  You’re going to make this hard, aren’t you rabbits?” he said 
looking at me then Reenie.
	“Mommy!” Reenie said as she ran to me.
	“I’ll get the moon brat and that damn crystal!” he said as he charged 
toward us.  I pushed Reenie into Darien’s arms then pushed them both out of 
the way.  I took the blow he sent, straight in the stomach.  I doubled over in 
pain and cried out to no one in particular.  Watching the youma attack me in 
such a manner infuriated the others and Mars was first to act out with anger.
	“MARS….FIRE….SNIPER!” she yelled as fire shot out and nailed 
the youma head on.
	“JUPITER….OAK…TREE….EVOLUTION!” Lita said hitting the 
youma with lightning.
	“Serena, now!” Pluto screamed as I tried to stand.  It was useless 
though.  I was bleeding terribly and couldn’t stand.
	“Guys!  I can’t stand up.  All my guts are gonna spill out onto the 
sidewalk if I try to.  Try to weaken him more or even kill him while I heal this 
wound.” I said loudly.  Darien, Reenie, and Setsuna all rushed to my side.
	“Sere, are you okay?” Pluto asked worriedly.
	“Yeah.  Just stand back.  MOON..HEALING..ACTIVATION!” 
I said as the crystal worked to heal my wound.
	“Serena, it’s not working!” Darien screamed in horror.
	“Reenie, take the crystal and destroy the youma.” I said handing the 
Imperium Crystal to my daughter.
	“But……” she said.
	“No buts Chibi Moon.  Do it!” I screamed.  Tears rolled down both 
our faces for she knew I hated commanding her to do stuff, especially in times 
like this.
	“Yes Eternal Sailor Moon.” she said, turning to the youma.  “No one, 
and I mean no one, gets away with hurting my mommy!  
MOON..CRYSTAL..ANNILATION!” she screamed.  The youma 
screamed in pain before he took off,
	“He just took off, that coward.” Seiya yelled as he, Yaten, and Taiki 
powered down.
	“Serena, are you okay?” Mina asked as she sat down next to me.
	“Guys, something’s wrong with Eternal Moon.” Amy said as she 
scanned my body with her computer.
	“Amy, what’s wrong?” Darien asked in a panicked voice.
	“Darien…..”
	“Oh my God!  Serena don’t die!” Darien shouted.
	“Darien, get a hold of yourself.  You’re scaring me.”
	“Sere, are you okay now?” Haruka asked.
	“I’m fine.  Reenie, honey, give me back the crystal.” I said as she 
handed me the jewel.  “Silver Imperium Crystal, please heal me.” I said as I 
started to glow.  My wounds started to heal but something else started to 
happen.  My fuku turned into a long, white, winged dress.
	“Serena, you’re turning into my mommy, Neo Queen Serenity.” 
Reenie said as tears came to her eyes.
	“Puu, what’s happening?” I asked as tears flowed and fear arose in 
my body.
	“You are starting the process of becoming the queen of Crystal 
Tokyo.” Puu, or Pluto, said flatly.
	“What?” Darien asked in shock.
	“Within the next four years, the princess will become the Neo 
Queen.” she explained.
	“Really?  What about Darien?” I asked as I played with my dress.
	“He will become King Endymion, as he was always meant to.” Amy 
replied before Pluto had a chance to.
	“Lady Mercury speaks the truth.  Within the next four years, you will 
marry and Crystal Tokyo will be formed.” Pluto spoke.
	“I thought we weren’t supposed to know that much about the future?” 
Raye asked.
	“I must tell you all this otherwise it will disrupt the timeline.  You each 
face many challenges in the coming years.  Serenity will face more than 
anyone though.  She must decide many things and one of them will be 
between to great forces, love and lust.” Pluto spoke.
	“Diamond is coming back for me, isn’t he Pluto?” I asked holding my 
breath after I spoke.
	“Yes, Princess.  He is.  You will have to choose between him and 
Endymion.  Right now, you won’t understand why, but in the future, when the 
time comes, you will.”
	“I will never let him have Usako.” Darien screamed, outraged.
	“My king, it is not your choice.  It is the princess’ choice and hers 
alone.  Her heart will decide.  Know this though, a love that has lasted one 
lifetime and gone well into another, will always be constant and unwavering.” 
Pluto said.  With that, she disappeared to the time gate.
	“Let’s get home everybody.” I said as the others headed home.  
Darien, who carried a very tired Reenie, Luna, and Seiya, all followed me to 
my house.  When we got there, Seiya and Mayo took off and Darien put 
Reenie to bed in her old room.  Then, he tucked me into bed and fell asleep in 
the chair next to my bed.
