"That was strange, Galaxia left without winning the fight"
said Lead Crow. "Strange indeed. She didn't leave a youma either."
said Tin Nyanko. "Everyone let's go. Get some sleep and then we
meet at Rei tomorrow at noon" said Sailor Moon. They nodded
in agrement and detransformed. Slowly making their ways home,
they walked in pairs. Rei, Chad and the four anima mates headed
towards the temple. Amy and Greg slowly walked towards Amys
apartment. Minako and Eric decided to stay for a while.
Hotaru, Locke, Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna went to their
mansion. 'Only I am alone' thought Lita. Abover her twinkled
a star, as if to say not anymore. Lita decided to walk home
instead of teleporting. She walked slowly as if she dreaded
to come home. The walk seemed to last for ages, but soon
she stood infront of her door. She took out her key and
was about to turn it when she noticed that the door was unlocked.

'What the? I never left my door unlocked' thought Lita.
She called mentaly on a lightening bolt to her hand.
Carefuly hiding the hand Lita stepped inside. As she stepped
in side someone grabbed her from behind, covering her moth with
a hand. Lita didn't hesitate, Quickly she put her hand on the
person and chocked him with the lightneing bolt. The person
slumped to the floor. Lita turned and turned on the lgihts.
The person lay head down. Carefully Lita crept up towards
the person and turned him over. It was Ken. Ken who had
grabbed her from behind. 'What did he do here?' thought
Lita as she carried him over to the sofa in her living room.

Lita checked him to see if he was hurt. He had some burn
marks where she had electrocuted him, but other than that he
was fine. He seemed a bit tired but that's all. Calling upon her
powers Lita healed the marks. She took a pillow and a blanket
and put him to sleep. They needed to talk, but not now.
Lita went inside her bedroom and got ready for bed. 'I so need to
sleep now' thought Lita as she crawled into the bed. Sleep
came and claimed both of them. Only the breathing could be heard
in the apartment.

Again Lita dreamed. This time the planet wasn't barren. It seemed to
be early summer there. Flowers bloomed, birds were flying and water
was flowing in springs. A regal woman came towards her, she recognized
the woman as the woman from the night she died. "Makoto, remember that
you must attend to the ball tonight." "Yes Mother." "Good, I know a
special someone is going to be there." said Makotos mother with a smile.
"Shinosaki's comming?" "He is. Go get ready." Makoto took of in a run
towards her quarters.

Inside her quarters Makoto rushed to her closet and started looking
for the perfect dress to wear. 'Pink, Blue, Yellow, orange.
Now where is that green dress?' thought Makoto as she looked
through her closet. There it was. It was a full length ball gown,
without straps and sleeves. It was a shimmering emerald green,
that sparkled in the right light. The green in the dress brought
out her eyes color. Lita went in to the shower and took a long hot
shower. She towled dried her hair carefully and then too on her dress.
Not caring that much about make up, Makoto applied some emerald
green eyeshadow and some lipgloss. She combed her hair and left
it down. Looking through her jewellry bx, Mako found what she'd
been looking for. The rose earrings that Shinosaki gave to her
on her birthday so many years ago. To complete the look Makoto
took a silver chain with a tear drop formed emerald and a silver
over arm braclet with a dragon engraved on it. Where the dragons
eye should have been was a emerald placed. Makoto took one final
look in the full length mirror before she went out.

The herald gawked ather when she arrived. "Your highness. You look
terrific if I might say so." "Thank you. Would you?" Makoto trailed
of. "Of course. Announcing Princess Makoto Of Jupiter!" said the
herald and dunked the floor with his staff. The soft chattering
that could be heard from the room ended as everyone turned to look.
Makoto gracefully went down the stairs. At the end of the stairs
several young men waited for her, hoping that she'd accompany them.
Makoto was disappointed as the one she wanted to acompany her wasn't
there. She declined every offer politey and excused her self.
Makot went out to the balcony looking up at the sky. The sky
was clear, shecould see the other planets on the sky. It reminded
her of the times that she and Shinosaki would sneak up to the roof
and lay there, silently watching the stars. Talking about the stars,
the myths and legends that surronded the stars. Makoto sighed.
'Where is Shinosaki?' Just as she thought that, someone came up
behind her and covered her eyes. "Guess who." said a deep voice.
"Hmm. Could it be Alex?" "No. Not Alex." "Dave?" "Not Dave, try again."
"Max?" "Not Alex, Not Dave and not Max!" roared the man. Makoto
winced at the high voice. "Easy there Shinosaki. I know it's you.
I was just joking with you." "How did you know?" "I could know
where you were even if I was blind." Shinosaki leaned against
Makoto to kiss her. Just as they were about to kiss eachother,
Mangetsu came running screaming as high as he could. "Metallia
is attacking. Metallia is attacking."

Mangetsu spotted Makoto and Shinosaki and went up to them.
"I'm sorry Mako, but Queen Serenity needs you now.
Imideatley." "I'll come. Just give me a moment." "As you wish
your higness." said Mangetsu and bowed before leaving. Makoto
lifted her hand and carressed Shinosakis cheek. "I must go now.
I love you." said Makoto and kissed Shinosaki passionatley
before turning to leave. Shinosaki stood there pondering
what had happened before taking after Makoto. He came up behind
her and grabbed her hand spinning her around and kissed her.
"I love you to. Don't die on me now." "I won't."

At that Lita mumbled I won't in her sleep before she opened her eyes
and locked them in those big pools of brown that she easily could
drown in. "Ken?" "It's me Lita." "What are you doing here?
I thought you were in France." 'With that bitch' "Not anymore.
Alinoë." Lita cut Ken of. "If you are going to think that you can
come here and pour out your heart on me if that bitch dumped you,
think again" said Lita as she rose from her bed with the sheet
wrapped around her. "I'm taking a shower. Find someone else to talk
to. I'm sure that Darien wouldn't mind if you talked to him."
Lita marched into her shower and closed the door. Ken sat there on
Litas bed trying to figure out what she meant.

'What's the matter with her. I came back to her, I didn't leave her.'
Ken looked longingly towards the bathroom door. 'I better try to make
up with her.' thought Ken as he went to he kitchen to make breakfast.
Lita came out from the shower ten minutes later fully clothed.
She swept inside the kitchen and took a cup of coffe. She made
her self some sandwiches and sat down slowly reading the newspaper.
Ken looked at her and began : "Lita." No answer, Lita totaly ignored
Ken. Again he tried : "Lita. Talk to me." Lita looked up and glared
at him, then she turned and read the paper. Ken sighed and took a
cup of coffe to. Lita had finished reading the paper and started
to clear the table. Ken was about to protest when she removed
the things from the table, when he saw that look. The killer look.
When Lita had cleared the table she took her jacket and got out.
Ken hurried after her wondering where she was going.

He followed her towards the temple. 'What's Lita doing here?
She's never been to a temple before, at least no when I was around.'
Lita was already up when Mangetsu came out from the temple.
"Good Morning your highness" said Mangetsu and bowed as good as any
cat could do. 'What? Either Lita is messing with me to get her revenge
or I'm going insane.' "What's the status Mangetsu? How are they?"
"I assume you mean the knights, Sailor Tin Nyanko and Sailor Mercury.
The knights are all recovering but they shouldn't battle
for a while. Sailor Mercury and Tin Nyanko on the other hand was
almost burned out. They barely had enough energy to get home
last night." "Dammit, they shouldn't have to fight this battle.
It's mine." "Lita, you know that they would help you.
They are your friends and they want to help you." "I know,
I just don't want them to get hurt." "Don't worry. They can take
care of them self. Let's go in now, everyone's waiting for you."
Lita nodded and walked towards the temple.

Everyone was seated in Reis living room. The knights had recovered
quickly. Even Amy and Shizuka was there, though both of them were
extremly pale. Lita smiled at them. "Good that everyone's here now."
said Lita and walked up to Amy and Shizuka. She placed her hands on
each of their heads and focused. It looked like lightening was
crackling around them. "Wow. I feel good." said Amy that now had
a much healthier look on her face. "Me to. I haven't felt this good
since before.." Amy put her arm around Shizuka. "It wasn't your fault."
"No, but I still betrayed them. I betrayed the other senshis, our world
and our code." "It's in the past now. All you can do now is to make
peace with your self and compensate for your mistakes," said Serena with
a smile, "We know that you're good now. Plus you're helping us now,
not Galaxia." Rei stiffened, "There's someone outside here, listening."
She sprung up quickly, moving towards a window. She throwed up the
winodw and throwed a ofuda. "Aku Ryo Tai San." The ofuda hit it's target
and from the bushes fell.............
