It was a calm dark night. Tokyo was resting in peace. Nobody noticed the silent appearance of a dark oval shaped hole at the Juubangai area. Two shadowy figures stepped out of the hole and vanished in the darkness.
At the same time an invisible gate opened near the royal palace of the Neo-Kinmoku planet and a tall woman rushed trough the gate. She walked determinedly towards the palace ignoring the guards who were on their posts. She lifted her hands and the guards fell to their knees and collapsed. The woman laughed dreadfully and entered the palace, her red eyes flashing with triumph.
She pulled out a dark red crystal and screamed: "Unconquerable enmity spread! "
The crystal flashed and a shock wave caused the entire place to shake.
"This will keep them unconscious for a while."The woman said with satisfaction and went to the throne room where Princess Kakyuu laid unconscious on the floor. She lifted her crystal and screamed: "Jado!". A narrow beam of red light hit Kakyuu's forehead and the scent of ' Fragrant Olive ' filled the room.
The woman pressed a button on her communicator and said: "Begin with your work."
Her words were sent to the Earth with a speed faster then light. A few minutes later two dark shadowy figures entered Chiba Mamoru's apartment at Juubangai.

Kakyuu opened her eyes and moaned: "Oh god, my head hurts!"
Her head was terribly aching and she felt very weak. She closed her eyes and sighed.
When she opened her eyes agin, she was lying in her bed. She touched her forehead and groaned faintly.
An anxious voice asked: "Princess are you all right?".She turned her head and saw Healer standing beside her bed.
"Yes"She whispered"What happened?"
Healer said in a soft tone: "I don't know. We found you unconscious on the floor. Every body else was also unconscious."
Kakyuu asked: "Where is Fighter?"
Healer lowered her gaze and sighed: "She is trying to find out what caused this phenomena."
Kakyuu closed her eyes and murmured: "You can go now. I like to get some sleep. "
Healer bowed slightly and left the room.
Kakyuu said in a faint voice: "Sailor moon! I must remember something about Sailor moon. But what? ...Ah, I'm too tired to think about it..." and she fell asleep.
When she woke up the first thing which came to her mind was this: 'I must invent the Moon Princess.'
The Olive Flower symbol on her forehead began to flash and she got up and said in a dreamy voice: "I must go to Minato-ku and invent her myself.".

Ikuko looked with suspicion at Usagi's visitor and led her to Usagi's room. She knocked at the door and told Usagi that she had a guest. Usagi opened the door and gasped with surprise: "Kakyuu Hime!"
Kakyuu smiled and asked in a lady like manner if she could talk with Usagi.
Usagi blushed: "Gomen Kakyuu sama. I didn't mean to be rude. Please come in...oh ...or may be...I mean...the living room...I mean ...would you like... Oh! Um.... I want to say...".
Kakyuu sweat dropped : "Your room is fine. "
Usagi expelled her breath with relief: "Oh...Come in please. I'm very happy to see you again...but... why are you standing? ..Please sit down...Uh! Gomen Kakyuu sama."
Flash back
[Usagi was at the princess seminar. Lady Rose asked her how she would offer coffee. Usagi tried to come up with some polite words but failed miserably.]
End of flash back

Fighter was looking at her reflection in the mirror when Healer entered her room.
Healer laughed and said with sarcasm: "Since when are you using cosmetics?"
Fighter touched the back of her head and blushed. Healer said bluntly: "She won't even notice. You're wasting your time. Even if she wasn't in love with her Mamo chan, she wouldn't fall for a girl. "
"I know. " Fighter said, Her eyes filling with tears.
Healer sighed impatiently: "I don't want you to get hurt. "
Fighter hanged her head: "I know Healer. Thank you. "
Healer changed the subject: "Is every thing ready for their arrival? "
Fighter nodded silently. Healer looked into Fighter's blue eyes then she shook her head and left. Fighter clenched her fists and followed her.

In an other dimension a beautiful evil looking woman was talking to her inferiors. She looked at a tall aggressive looking woman: "Erise, how is our plan working? "
Erise bowed and said: "Princess Kakyuu is dancing to our tunes, Queen Izousya."
Izousya said gravely: "Be careful Erise. Kakyuu isn't a fool. Sooner or later she discovers that somebody is inspiring strange ideas to her. And when she finds out you can't control her anymore."
Erise answered: "Don't worry Queen Izousya. We success before she has a chance to find out the truth."
Izousya asked: "Are you sure?"
Erise nodded and looked towards two dark shadowy figures who were standing beside her.
One of them stepped forward saying: "Prince Endymion is completely brainwashed, I guarantee that."
Izousya smiled: "I knew that he was an easy target."Then she frowned and added: "Morean, don't underestimate Sailor moon's power. "
Morean said firmly: "I won't do such a thing!"
Izousya addressed the other shadowy figure: "Well Morosay, I'm waiting for your report."
Morosay lifted her head: "I have the honour to tell you that I've succeeded in Sealing away Endymion's love for princess Serenity...and I must say this was the hardest thing I've ever don."
Izousya smiled and said with a sadistic satisfaction: "Now we see how strong you are Sailor Moon! ".

Sailor moon felt extremely excited. She gasped with admiration: "Kakyuu sama, Your planet is wonderful. I've never seen such a beautiful place before."
Kakyuu smiled: "I'm happy to hear that. "Then she turned so that she could face Sailor moon and Tuxedo Kamen at the same time and bowed slightly: "I'm honoured to welcome you at Neo-Kinmoku!"
Sailor moon blushed not knowing what to say. She felt relived as she saw Tuxedo kamen bowing in return and thanking Kakyuu in a polite manner.
'I'm so glad that Mamo chan insisted to accompany me.' She thought and looked fondly at Tuxedo Kamen who was deep in conversation with princess Kakyuu.
Kakyuu led them to her palace were they were greeted by the Sailor Star Lights.Sailor moon
was very happy to see them again and her face reflected her joy and happiness. The Star Lights escorted them to their rooms and princess Kakyuu accompanied them to make sure that her guests would be comfortable.
Sailor moon asked eagerly: "Can we detransform now?"
Kakyuu nodded and Sailor moon clasped her hands and laughed: "I'm so glad.you know actually...."
Tuxedo kamen interrupted her harshly: "Behave yourself Sailor moon! "
Sailor moon looked at him with surprise: "Something wrong?"
Tuxedo Kamen said gravely: "I'm sick of your childish behaviour."
Sailor moon was too shocked to cry. She couldn't believe that Tuxedo Kamen was talking with her like that in front of princess Kakyuu and the Star lights.
She hanged her head and kept silent. Kakyuu whispered in her ear: "Don't sulk! He is just tired from our long journey."
Sailor moon lifted her head and looked at Kakyuu who was smiling at her encouragingly and smiled back in return.
Kakyuu glanced towards Fighter who was straggling to control her anger and said: "Fighter I want you to show Sailor moon round. "
Fighter bowed and said in a controlled voice: "With pleasure princess!"
Kakyuu smiled and faced Sailor moon: "If you need something just let Fighter now it and she'll take care of it."
Sailor moon thanked her in a low voice. Fighter swallowed her anger and asked: "Should we go now or would you like to take a shower and change first? "
Sailor moon said: "If you don't mind, I'll prefer to take a shower first."
Fighter nodded: "Ok. I'll be waiting in the corridor."
Usagi felt a great deal better after taking a bath. She was surprised to see that her wardrobe was filled with clothes which were exactly her choice. She choose something comfortable to wear and joined Fighter who was waiting for her.

Princess Kakyuu had a restless night. Her head was aching and this words were pounding in her head: 'Send Sailor moon away.'
"Why should I do this?" She asked herself but before she had the chance to answer her own question, the olive flower symbol on her forehead flashed and she cried out in pain. Dizzied by the horrible pain she buried her face into the pillows and began to sob.
*** *** ***
Fighter had a strange feeling that something was definitely wrong. Princess Kakyuu had sent them on an unnecessary foolish mission and she had urged Sailor moon to accompany them.
Fighter asked herself: "I wonder why didn't she want us around? "
She sighed and looked at Sailor moon who was admiring the splendour of their surroundings.
Fighter murmured: "She looks like an adorable cute child and not a silor senshi."
She smiled and sat beside Sailor moon. Sailor moon faced her and said innocently: "Fighter, can you explain me what we're doing here? We have been staying here for ten days ...and... I don't understand why?"
Fighter shook her head doubtfully: "I don't Know what's going on here, but I'm sure princess Kakyuu had had her reasons to ask you for help."
Sailor moon hanged her head: "I'm sorry Fighter."
Fighter put her hand on Sailor moons shoulder: "It's ok Odango, you dont have to apologize." Then she noticed that she had called Sailor moon 'Odango' and blushed. Sailor moon blushed too. Fighter looked at her fondly and smiled. Sailor moon Blushed even more and said in a shaky voice: "Fighter!!"
Fighter looked puzzled thou her eyes were laughing: "Huh?"
Sailor moon lowered her gaze: "Nothing." Then she added hastily "Where are Healer and Maker? "
Fighter sighed as she rose to her feet: "I'll fetch them for you."
*** *** ***
Sailor moon woke up screaming and covered with sweat. Fighter was watching her with concern: "Are you ok?"
Sailor moon began to cry. "I had a strange dream and I'm sure it has a meaning." She said between sobs.
Fighter hugged her gently: "Calm down. You've just had a nightmare."
Sailor moon sobbed: "But it was so real!"
Fighter said:" Tell me about it."
Sailor moon said: "Mamo chan...."and began to sob again.
Fighter's eyes darkened with pain. She stared at Sailor moon for a few seconds then she said: "Dont worry Sailor moon. We return to the palace."
Somehow Sailor moon managed to say: "We'll be late, it's such a long way."
Fighter said reassuringly: "Not if we use our sailor teleport."
Healer who was sitting near by said: "We should use the silor teleport only on special occasions."
Fighter glared at her angrily: "And this is a special occasion." Then she said Sailor moon in a soft tone: "We'll begin with the teleport as soon as you stop crying."
Sailor moon dashed away her tears and got up. The star lights also got up. With fighter's signal they began with the teleport and a few seconds later they were at Kykyuu's palace. Sailor moon detransformed as she was running. Usagi pounded at Mamoru's room: "Mamo chan! Mamo chan...please open the door! ...Mamo chan! "
She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned round: "Mam... Maker?"
Maker looked at her with sympathy: "Tsukino san, Mamoru san is awaiting you. Would you follow me please?"
Usagi's eyes widened with surprise but she followed Maker without any questions. Maker led her to a big salon. Fighter and Healer were also there. Usagi spotted Endymion and ran towards him. She was so happy that she didn't notice Fighter's furious expression and Healer's tear steamed face. She was about to fling herself in Endymion's arms when a guard stopped her. She cried out: "Let me pass. Mamo chan... Mamo chan."
Endymion looked at her with sarcasm: "You're so stupid that you haven't even noticed that I'm King Endymion now."
"King Endymion? but Mamo chan..." she couldn't continue.

Endymion gave her a cold look: "Maker should have informed you. I've married Kakyuu and...".
"Iya!"She screamed."It's impossible. You can't be serious. Have you forgotten? I'm Serenity.
We 're destined to be together. Have you forgotten... about... crystal Tokyo and Chibi Usa?"
She transformed into Sailor moon and cupped her hands before her chest. She closed her eyes and bent her head. Her sailor fuku unravelled into strips of flowing red ribbons, just barely covering her. The ginzuishou appeared at her chest and flashed and the loose red ribbons surrounding her merged into her with princess gown.
Endymion's lips tightened as he was watching her. Then he said: "You'd better accept the truth Serenity.I'm married to Kakyuu and nothing can change this."
Serenity cried: "Why? At least tell me why did you marry her? What will happen to Chibi Usa?"
Endymion's eyes flashed with a red light: "Ok Serenity.I'll tell you my reasons. To begin with I'd stopped loving you before Kakyuu came to invent us and I noticed how blind I'd been. Chibi usa couldn't be our daughter. What colour were her eyes? Red of course. but we have both blue eyes. If you weren't so stupid, You would know that according to different genetics laws, She couldn't be our daughter by any chance. There were also other facts that proved me right for example only people with pink, red or violet hair can have a child with pink hair. But I see that I'm wasting my time. You're too stupid to understand what I'm talking about.
I must admit that I liked chibi Usa very much and if she were my daughter I would stay whit you, but..."
"Stop it! " Serenity cried "How can you say such horrible things? Have you forgotten what happened to Chibi-Moon when Neherenia was about to kill you? ..When you were unconscious Chibi-Moon began to fade in and out until she became transparent and faded away. Do you remember?"
Endymion blinked, Then he shook his head: "Never mind. Even if your right I can always become her father as long as we are both alive."
Hearing this, Fighter got very made and rushed forward to attack Endymion but she was stopped by princess Kakyuu.Fighter yelled through clenched teeth: "Princess what are you doing?"
Kakyuu said: "Calm down Fighter.You must understand that I can't allow you to hurt my husband."
Fighter clenched her fists and leaned against the wall, Her blue eyes flashing with anger. She could hear Serenity's soft sobs and Endymion's grave voice: "Serenity, You aren't the person you used to be at the Moon kingdom. I was in love with a brave, smart, responsible princess but in this life I found her as an immature klutz.
I married Kakyuu because she is every thing that you are not. She is mature, responsible, wise and courageous. She understands art and culture and we have a lot of common intrusts..."
"Stop it" Serenity cried hysterically "Stop it".
She faced Kakyuu with anger: "Kakyuu, I thought we were friends! .. You abused my feelings and stole my love, I wont for give you and...".
Fighter rushed toward Serenity and Kneeled before her:" Princess please, I beg you don't harm her.".
The crescent moon on Serenity's for head flashe a bright light. Kakyuu looked at her with surprise and gasped. The olive flower symbol on her forehead also began to flash. The star lights cried simultaneously: "what's that? "
Kakyuu touched her forehead and moaned. Serenity looked at her for a moment and sighed: "I got it. She is under the influence of a dark power."
The starlights cried in union: " what???"
Serenity said in a soft voice: " Kakyuu san, Now I understand why you did this to me. Please let me cure you."
Kakyuu stepped forward: "I'm ready, Moon princess."
Princess Serenity touched the crystal on her chest. Her with gown dissolved and let loose into flowing red ribbons around her. She said: "Please give me the power to help Kakyuu and Endymion. Please let me free them from evil powers."
The crystal on her chest began to flash a beam of with light hit Kakyuu's forehead. Kakyuu closed her eyes and gasped. Tears began to rush down her face as she noticed what she had done. She opened her eyes and saw Serenity struggling to free Endymion from evil. She also began to use her powers to help her husband. Serenity noticed that and said: "Kakyuu san with your help the ginzuishou and I can get stronger and stronger! I won't let anyone to become unhappy. Trust me and join your powers with me. Kakyuu nodded, whispering Serenity's name.
The ginzuishou flashed brightly and filled the room with it's power. Endymion fell to his knees and cried out:" Serenity!".
The moon princess collapse and turned back into Sailor Moon. Fighter rushed forward and caught her in time. Kakyuu asked in a shaky voice: "Is she all right? ".
Fighter didn't answer. Her worried eyes were fixed on silormoon's pale face.
"Sailor moon!"She cried painfully. A single tear escaped her eye and fell on sailor moons' face. Sailor moon opened her eyes and looked into Fighter's sad eyes.
"Fighter!"She whispered in a faint voice.
Fighter expelled her breath with relief: "Are you ok?".
Sailor moon nodded: "I'm just exhausted."
Kakyuu said in a sad tone: "Sailor moon, I'm terribly sorry but divorce is out of question."
Sailor moon said in a tearful voice: "I'll never ask for that."
Endymion said in a low voice: "I'm sorry Usako.Can you ever forgive me? "
Sailor moon began to cry: "You are forgiven for every thing you've done to me...". Then she faced Kakyuu: "Kakyuu hime, I wish to go home."
Kakyuu refused to look at her: : "Sailor moon, I know that Endymion was not only your beloved but also your protector. I also know that nobody can replace Endymion for you, but I like to ask you to accept one of the starlights as your new protector. I love them dearly but I know that ...".
"No" Sailor moon said "I won't separate them from you. My sailor senshi will protect me. I'll manege."
For a long time they remained silent, then Kakyuu said: "If you change your mind, you can ask any of them to stay with you."
She faced the starlights: "I don't know if I'll see all you again but I want you to know that I love you.".
She went to hug them but Healer shook her head and ran out.
Kakyuu sighed: "Fighter I want to talk with you in privet."
Fighter bowed and followed her princess.
Sailor moon also turned to leave then she stopped and said: "Chibi Usa was surly your child Endymion but may be I wasn't her mother! I always wondered why neo queen Serenity was so eager to send her to the 20th century."
With this word she left. Maker followed her.

When Sailor moon woke she was lying in an unfamiliar bed. She sat up and rubbed her swollen eyes.
A voice that she knew too well said:"Ah you're awake..."
"Seiya, where am I? " She asked.
"Don't you remember? " He asked gently.
Sailor moon shook her head and detransformed: "I had a strange dream. In my dream Mamo chan married Kakyuu hime, Isn't that funny?"
Seiya sat beside her and put his hands on her shoulders: "It wasn't a dream. ".
"No, you're lying. You're just teasing me. Right?" She asked pleadingly.
Seiya caressed her cheek softly: "I'm sorry Odango.I'm really sorry."
Usagi began to cry. Seiya sighed and held her thigh. Then the door opened and Taiki came in:"How is she? "He asked with concern.
Seiya gave him a meaningful look and began to stroke Usagi's hair: "How is Healer?"
Taiki answered: "She cried herself to sleep."
Seiya was shocked: "It doesn't sound like her."
Taiki nodded. After along time he pointed at usagi and asked:"Should we inform her Friends?"
Seiya shook his head: "No.She needs peace."
Taiki looked troubled "When can we return? "
Seiya said:" You can return right now if you wish."
"You can't take care of both of them. " Taiki protested.
Seiya said: "Don't worry about that. I'll manege."
Taiki looked into Seiya's eyes: "You've decided to stay here. Am I right?"
Seiya nodded: "Yeah!"
Taiki looked troubled: "What about our princess? She needs us."
Seiya said: "She understands. I told her that I wouldn't return."
He looked at Usagi who had fallen asleep in his embrace and lied her gently on the bed. He put a soft kiss on her forehead and said: "From now on she is my princess."

At the dark region Queen Izousya was preparing herself for the battle. She looked at the three figures who were kneeling in front of her and asked: "Are you ready?"
"Yes" they answered simultaneously.
Izousya said: "Remember that our first target is the sailor senshi. We can't begin with our plans as long as they are around."
Morean said grimly: "Sailor moon is besieged by pain and sorrow. We shouldn't fear her."
Erise asked in a mean tone: "Are you sure?"
Morean got up set: "What is that supposed to mean?"
Erise smiled evilly: "I just think she isn't as depressed as you think."
Izousya shouted: " It's enough! Stop fighting each other."
She looked at them with anger: "We don't have time for such childish games. We must begin with our work."
*** *** ***
Seiya, Taiki and Healer were at Usagi's house. Seiya was sitting next to Usagi holding her hand and Luna was on Healer's lap.
Taiki said: "Tsukino san I need your help."
Usagi looked at him and asked kindly: "Who can I help you Taiki kun?"
Taiki said: "Only one of us is supposed to stay here but Fighter and Healer both refuse to return with me."
Seiya said with determination: "I won't leave Odango, and you both know it."
Healer looked into Usagi's eyes: "Please Usagi san allow me to stay with you. I can't go back to Neo-kinmoku. Please allow me to serve you."
Seiya slanged his hand around Usagi's shoulder: "Odango wants me to stay with her."
Taiki gave him a levelled look: "I think Tsukino san must decide whom she wants to stay."
Seiya gave him an evil eye: "she want's me and even if she chooses Healer, I'll stay here with her."
Healer bit her lip and faced Taiki: "I won't return either"
Taiki asked mockingly: " And you decided to run around as Sailor Star Healer? "
"Only you can suggest such a thing!" She snapped.
"Well Tsukino san?" Taiki asked.
Usagi said: "I think they have the right to do as they wish."
Taiki looked confused. Seiya smiled: " I'm afraid you must return alone."
Healer put Luna on the bed and Kneeled in front of Usagi: "Thank you princess. I'll serve you with loyalty. "
Usagi helped Healer to her feet: "Healer you dont have to protect me or something....You can stay here unconditionally."
*** *** ***
Queen Izousya said: "Now is the time to annihilate the sailor senshi. Erise have you a plan?"
Erise said: "Yes Queen Izousya."
Izousya said: "Then begin with it."
Erise lifted her hands and an invisible gate opened in front of her. She went trough it and disappeared. Almost instantly an other gate opened at Minato-ku in front of Usagi's house.
Luna who was on the roof saw that a tall woman appeared there.
The woman said:"Well Sailor moon, this is your end." And began to laugh.
Luna rushed to Usagi screaming: "Hurry Usagi chan, you must transform immediately."
Usagi looked at her whit surprise, then she said "Right".
She took her transforming locket and shouted:"Moon eternal make up. "
Luna said: " hurry you must face her outside."
Erise saw Sailor moon jumping from her balcony and blasted her without delay.
Sailor moon screamed and fell to her knees.
Luna shouted from behind: "You must contact the others. She looks very strong."
Sailor moon was about to push the button of her communicator when she felt a terrible pain in her arm. She screamed holding her sore forearm and began to cry.
"Oh does it hurt?"Erise asked sarcastically.
Sailor moon lifted her head and looked at her: "Who are you?" She moaned.
Erise laughed: "I'm the quarrelsome, peevish soldier of misfortune. I'm Erise, and in the name of the dark region, I'll annihilate you."
She pointed her red crystal at Sailor moon and said:"Sailor moon die!".
"NO" Sailor moon cried and crumbled into a heap. She closed her eyes and waited for the blast.
Suddenly She heard an angry voice yelling: "Star Serious Laser! "
"Fighter!" She gasped.
A second voice shouted: "Star Sensitive Inferno!"
She rose to her feet and tried to join the 2 Starlights but she was stopped by the sharp pain in her arm.
Then the inner senshi arrived and began to attack Erise.
"Mars flame sniper! "
"Mercury aqua rhapsody! "
"Jupiter oak evolution! "
"Venus love and beauty shock! "
Sailor moon looked helplessly at them, Tears standing in her eyes. She saw Erise rising her red crystal and heard her yelling: "Unconquerable enmity spread! "
"I must do something." She said and jumped forward taking the blast on herself. She lost consciousness when the shock wave hit her and her small body was thrown backward violently.
"NO" Fighter Screamed and jumped behind sailor moon to reduce the speed of her falling.
Erise couldn't believe her eyes.
Sailor Venus used her " love me chain" to knock the red crystal away. At the same time the others attacked her again.
Erise escaped through the invisible gate. The girls rushed towards Sailor moon and Fighter who were laying unconscious on the ground.
Sailor mars said: "We can't take them inside. Ikuko san doesn't know that Usagi is sailor moon and if she enters Usagi's room..."
Healer interrupted her impatiently: "Our flat isn't far away. We'll take them there."
Mars said: "Right.Meanwhil I'll make up an excuse for Usagi's absence.
*** *** ***
Sailor moon recovered consciousness to find that she was lying in Healer's bed and every body was by her side.
"Usagi chan! " They cried simultaneously as she flung her eyes open.
She lifted the covers and saw that her arm was dressed with stripes of clothe. She sat up and winced.
Seiya asked worriedly: "Are you ok?"
She smiled at him and nodded. Then she noticed how distraught he looked. His face was extremely pale and his hair standing on end as if had run his fingers through it repeatedly.
"Seiya aren't you feeling well? "She asked with real concern.
"What? ....Oh! I'm fine.why? "He said lightly
Makoto felt sorry for him and tried to change the subject: "Don't you want to detransform Usagi chan?"
Usagi sighed: " I wish I had something comfortable to wear."
Healer said softly: "You can have one of my nightgowns."
Colour invaded Usagi's cheeks: "Thank you Healer.It's very kind of you."
Healer went to her wardrobe, returning a few seconds later with a beautiful silken nightgown in a pretty shed of green. Then she faced Seiya and said scornfully: "You better leave now...She wouldn't change in front of you no matter how much you like to help her change."
Seiya blushed and left the room.
*** *** ***
Queen Izousya screamed furiously: "You're a fool Erise.You should have protected the red crystal with your life. I can't trust you anymore."
Erise looked at her feet, saying nothing.
Izousya said: "We haven't any time left. This time We'll attack them together."
*** *** ***
Healer detransformed into her no-senshi form and went to Seiya's room. Seiya looked at her and grinned: "bored? "
Healer shook her head Softly: "No, I need to talk with you."
Seiya teased her: "What's wrong? Are you homesick?"
Healer Shook her head again: "No!"
Seiya made a funny face: "Ah! You've fallen in love with somebody."
Healer blushed slightly and sat beside Seiya.
Seiya laughed: "well, Who is this lucky guy?"
"You" she said bluntly.
Seiya looked at her with disbelief:"You can't be serious!"
Healer scowled: " I'm not in the mood for silly games."
Seiya said: "I'm sorry Healer, But I love somebody else and you know that."
Healer asked softly: "But does she love you in return?"
Seiya sighed: "I don't know. May be someday she will."
Healer asked: "would you give me a chance?"
seiya looked troubled: "Listen Healer, you're my best friend and I love you very much as a friend. But I can't love you the same way I love Usagi...I'm really sorry, I don't want to hurt you but..."
Healer covered Seiya's mouth with her fingers: " It's ok Seiya.I'll understand. I know how much you love her but it was worth a try."
Seiya didn't answer.
Healer said softly: "I don't want to loose your friendship."
Seiya smiled at her: "Nothing can cause that."
*** *** ***
Usagi and the other four girls were strolling in the park.
Makoto said sincerely: "I'm happy that you've gotten over Mamoru san."
Usagi sighed: "It was really terrible... I still can't believe it...I don't know what would I have done without Seiya."
Rei said accusingly: "You love Seiya."
Usagi blushed and yelled at Rei: "No I don't. Seiya is my friend. My best friend."
Rei said: "Liar!"
Usagi got upset and soon she found her self in the middle of an other tongue war.
Suddenly Ami noticed that a dark gate to an other dimension had opened.
"Stop fighting" She shouted.
Every body looked at her with surprise. Ami blushed and pointed towards the gate.
One second later Queen Izousya and her inferiors were facing them. Erise lifted her hands and every body except Usagi and her friends fell to their knees and collapsed.
The girls cried simultaneously:
"Moon eternal make up. "
"Mars crystal power, make up."
"Jupiter crystal power, make up."
"Venus crystal power, make up."
"Mercury crystal power, make up."
Sailor moon cried: "Stop it. I dont allow you to hurt innocent people who are strolling in the park. For love and justice, I'm the beautiful sailor suited fighter Sailor moon and this is the sailor senshi and in the name of the moon we'll punish you."
Izousya laughed: "I'm the mighty queen of adversity. The powerful ruler of disaster and calamity. I'm Izousya."
Erise: "I'm the quarrelsome, peevish soldier of misfortune. I'm Erise."
Morean: " I'm the master of the sullen shadows. The spreader of the darkness. I'm Morean."
Morosay:" I'm the destroyer of love and hope. The creator of hopeless nights. I'm morosya, and in the name of the dark region, I'll annihilate you."
Sailor mars:"Mars snake fire"
Sailor Venus: " Venus love and beauty shock"
Sailor Jupiter:" Jupiter coconut cyclone"
Sailor mercury: " Shine snow illusion"
Sailor moon: " Silver moon crystal power kiss"
Izousya: "Izousya adversity attack"
Erise: "Erise violence shock"
Morean: "Deep darkness"
Morosay: " Morosay Horror diffuse"
Izousya and her team were much too strong for the sailor senshi. The sailor senshi got blasted and Izousya was about to kill them When the star serious leaser hit her.
She turned and blasted Fighter and Healer. The two starlights dodged the blast. The inners also got to their feet and joined them but Izousya was still too strong for them. She blasted them one more time and every body fell to their knees.
Izousya began to laugh: "Sailor moon your end has come. I want you to know.... that ...I separated Endymion from you...Why aren't you crying? I want to see you suffer before... you die."
Sailor moon struggled to her feet: "I won't give up so easily!"
She bowed her head and cupped her hands in front of her chest. She closed her eyes and slowly lifted her head. For a short instant she was covered only by loose red ribbons and then she turned into princess Serenity.
Serenity stretched her arms holding the ginzuishou with both of her hands. The ginzuishou began to flash it's power increasing each minute.
Sailor mars screamed out: "Usagi stop it ! You'll die if you use the entire power of the ginzuishou."
Serenity said: "Dont worry about me. I'll protect all of you."
The ginzuishou flashed even brighter.
Sailor mars yelled out: " Usagi!"
Sailor venus yelled out: " Usagi chan!"
Sailor jupiter yelled out: " Usagi chan!"
Sailor mercur yelled out: " Usagi chan!"
Sailor star healer yelled out: " princess!"
Sailor star fighter screamed: " Odango!"
The moon princes said: "Every thing is going to be fine. I'll protect every body and this world."
The ginzuishou flashed brighter and brighter. Princess serenity fell to her knees and began to straggle. Fighter rushed to her side and helped her. The others did the same thing. The ginzuishou released it's energy. Queen Izousya and her inferiors got imprisoned in a pink bubble and vanished.
Princess serenity collapsed and her transformation brock. Fighter held her in her arms.
Every body screamed with terror: "Sailor moon!"
After a long time sailor mars yelled out: " Usagi! Open your eyes! Do you hear me?"
Sailor venus said: "Princess please wake up. What should we do without you?"
Sailor jupiter said: "Sailor moon please open your eyes. You can't leave us alone."
Sailor merqury whispered: "Usagi chan you're the most important person for us. Please say something."
Sailor star healer said: " I have lost my princess Once and I can't bear it for a second time."
Sailor star fighter was crying helplessly.violent sobs were shaking her body. She cried for a long time,then she bent and began to kiss Sailor moon's face.the others were watching her with widened eyes.
Suddenly she cried: "she is still breathing!"
Sailor mars began to pray and Sailor mercury pulled out her computer and starts typing on it furiously. After a few minutes she cried: "We must link our energy to the princess"
And She started to glow with energy. The other three inner senshi also began to glow with energy followed by the two starlights.
Slowly sailor moon opened her eyes. Every body cried out her name. She smiled faintly and whispered: "I told you that every thing would be fine."
Fighter buried her face in Sailormoon's chest and began to cry.
"Fighter! " Sailor moon gasped with surprise.
Sailor mars said: "She'll never understand."
Sailor moon asked: "Understand what?"
Fighter lifted her head: "I want to tell her, myself."

Later Seiya asked every body to leave him with Usagi alone. The girls smiled with understanding and Minako winked at Seiya.
Seiya looked at Usagi and said: "I thought that I've lost you. I've never felt such a pain before. I was so scared. Odango, I would have killed myself if you had... you had...No I don't want even mention it."
He shook his head violently. Usagi looked at him with a mixture of hope and astonishment.
Seiya took her hand and kissed it softly: "I was scared that I wouldn't have the opportunity to tell you how much I love you."
"Seiya!" Usagi whispered blushing cutely.
Seiya watched her with glittering eyes: " I love you Odango.I've always loved you, but you've never noticed that."
She looked at him with tear filled eyes: "I'm so sorry Seiya.I must have caused you lots of miserable moments."
Seiya smiled kindly: "You don't have to apologize Odango.It wasn't your fault."
Then he grabbed her shoulders and looked into her eyes. For a long moment he waited, giving her time to protest, to deny, to run away, before leaning forward and giving her the kind of kiss that Mamoru didn't know any thing about.
Usagi was startled by her own feelings as she clung to him with all the passionate response of her being.
Seiya put soft quick kisses on her odangoes, holding her thigh.
"I'm so happy!" He said.
Usagi looked into his eyes: "Seiya, What will you do if Kakyuu asks you to return?"
Seiya saw the fear in her eyes and held her closer.
"You are my princess."He said firmly"And I'll never leave you, no matter what happens."
Usagi asked:"Are you going to stay with me forever?"
Seiya nodded: "yes and I'll always take care of you. I promise".
Usagi looked up into his face and blushed: "I don't wish for any thing else but that."
Seiya smiled: " Your wish is granted Odango Atama!"
They looked at each other and kissed again.
The End
