"Usagi."

Looking up, she didn't see anyone around.  She'd been alone for the past half hour and she hadn't heard anyone come in.

"Usagi, I'm here with you now."

This voice was really starting to freak her out.  Evidently she was the only one hearing it because it had been speaking to her since this morning at the breakfast table.  Her mother hadn't acted any differently than usual.  Even Shingo was his normal annoying self.  She had agreed to meet the others at the park at ten, so she decided that she was going to surprise them and arrive early.  That's when the voice intensified. 

"Usagi, please.  You have to come back.  Serenity, please return to me."

"You know me?  Please who are you?" she asked frantically.

"You know me, Usa.  Please come back to me.  My world is under attack.  I need your help."

"You called me Usa.  You must be a close friend of mine.  Is that you, Helios?  Please answer me!" Usagi cried desperately.

"Come back to me Serenity.  Ashiteru…"

"Wait!" she cried one last time.

The voice had said that it loved her.  It was a male voice that much was for certain.  Whose voice was it though?  Usagi's azure eyes held confusion in them as the breeze played with her pigtails gently.  Whoever he was, he needed her help.  He'd called her Usa as well.  Only the members of the Senshi called her that.  Where did she know this person from?  This was the question that was perplexing her brain when the five Inner Senshi and the four Outer Senshi arrived.

"Yo, Ondongo!  You're here early!" Makoto called as she came over the hill.

Rei put her hand to her ear.  "Shh, do you hear that?"

Minako blinked in confusion.  "Hear what, Rei?" she asked.

"That's the sound of Hell freezing over."

Ami's muffled giggle escaped through her hand as Usagi stuck out her tongue.  "That's not funny, Pyro."

"It's all in fun, koneko." Haruka said from beside Michiru.

"Yes, we're all here to celebrate the defeat of Chaos, so we should all be having fun." Michiru said lightly.

"Michi-mama's right.  We're here to have fun!" Hotaru piped.  "Even though it's not as fun without Chibi-usa here."

"As do I, Hotaru, but that isn't possible.  If Chibi-usa were here, there would be something terribly wrong with the timeline." Setsuna explained, brushing her long dark green hair over her shoulder.

"Besides, we'll all see her again in the future.  We just have to wait until that time." Usagi said happily.  The others smiled.  They were all glad to see their princess happy.

"Sorry I'm late!" came a voice from over the hill.  Usagi's face brightened as she ran to greet the owner of the voice.

"Mamo-chan!" she cried with joy.  She flung herself into his arms and embraced him.  "I thought you had to work today."

The dark-haired man laughed and looked down at her.  "Not today, Usako.  I just told you that so my coming would be a surprise."

The blonde-haired girl giggled with delight and hugged Mamoru tightly.  "This is too good to be true!" she cried.  "I have all my friends around me and the one I love the most.  It's like I survived the battle with Chaos just for this!"

Luna and Artemis looked at each other happily.  They were certainly glad that Usagi was happy again.  It seemed that after the Starlights had gone back to their own galaxy, she had settled into a great depression.  Luna knew that it was because, deep down, Usagi had feelings for a certain dark-haired Starlight named Seiya.  When he'd gone, she'd been lost without him.  Now she was happy again with her destiny.  A pang of guilt hit the ebony feline guardian.  It was Destiny that was controlling her blonde bubbly princess now.  Destiny had been controlling the threads of her life all along.  This girl was forever to be the pawn of both Fate and Destiny.  It just didn't seem fair to her.

"Why so glum, Luna?  Did the tuna not settle right?" Ami asked cheerfully.

"I was just thinking of all the hardships we've had to go through to get to this moment, Ami.  Nothing more." Luna replied.

"We did go through a lot." Minako said.  "But you know what they say, one in the hand is worth two in the bush."

Usagi, Rei, and Makoto blinked at this.

"That's actually correct, Mina-chan, but it makes no sense." Ami said, laughing a little.

"I just can't win!" Minako exclaimed.

"Let's go down to the lake, you guys!" Hotaru suggested.  "It's a beautiful day."

"Good idea, firefly." Haruka laughed.

"Thanks Ruka-papa."

As the twelve of them headed down to the docks to feed the ducks, none of them noticed how dark the sky seemed to be getting overhead.  It wasn't until about an hour later that Rei heard the first thunder clap.  Scowling, she ran for the cover of the shelter a short distance away.

"Hey you guys!  It's starting to thunder!  I think we should get under the shelter until it stops." She called.

The others all nodded in agreement and acknowledged the dark skies above them.  It wasn't until they were all under the shelter that Makoto noticed that Usagi wasn't with them.  Looking over, the petite blonde girl was still on the dock.  A larger crack of thunder got her attention.  Usagi bolted for the shelter with a shriek.  She was about ten feet from the shelter when lightning struck her.  Cries of horror erupted from underneath the wooden structure, but instead of seeing Usagi's electrified form on the ground where she'd been struck, there was nothing at all.  Not even a black burn mark marred the green grass.

"I told you that I needed you, Usa.  Now I'm bringing you to help me."

Well, what did you think?  You guys can be really nice and hit that little review button over there. ^-^  I also want to add that I'm undecided on couplings, so you guys can vote.  Also, if you see any mistakes in the Japanese, please tell me!  This is the first time I've used it in a fic.  Thanks, minna!
