Chapter 13: Opening Portals, Falling Trouble Makers and Forgotten Memories

As she whipped around on the ball of her heal, sapphire-silver eyes locked with crimson eyes with a hidden amusement. Usagi launched herself at him, all smiles now, and bearing her face into his black tank top; inhaling his scent and letting go of a deep breath. A tear rolled down her cheek as she couldn't believe that this was true. If she was pinched, he would probably disappear and an onslaught of long held back tears poured down her cheeks and onto his black tank top and gray unbuttoned dress shirt.

"Are… you,… you… real… really… here?" came her muffed voice. "I… I… don't want… this… to be… just… another dream…"

With two loving hands, he raised her face to his and gently wiped the tears away, whispering sweet nothingness in her ear to calm, comfort and console her. Tenderly, he placed a butterfly kiss on her forehead and murmured, "Ai shiteru, Usa-chan, eien."

Usagi's being-to-puff-red eyes widened and she smiled, "Ai shiteru, Yami-chan, eien."

With that the lovers sealed their ever blossoming love with a kiss.

The little red haired blue-eyed three-year-old hime grinned as she stepped through the portal, opened her umbrella, handed it to her older sister, who had cotton candy colored hair and crimson eyes that matched the younger girl's hair. The seven-year-old ignored the umbrella and fell through the portal, the three-year-old giggling while holding onto the shiny red umbrella as she gently came to the ground.

While Usagi and her boyfriend, Yami, were kissing, the elder mirai-hime 1 landed on her mother's past self's head while the younger mirai-hime gracefully landed in her father's past self's wide open arms, giggling all the while.

"HEY!" was the tsuki no hime's indignant cry as her future daughter landed on her head, causing both of them to crash on the ground.

"HEY YOURSELF!" was cotton candy colored haired girl's response.

Sapphire-silver meet with a pair of cinnamon eyes and both blinked simultaneously.

"Chibi Usa?" came her weak question; her voice was failing her today.

"Usagi?" was the question-in-reply.

Usagi blinked twice before asking, "How did you get here? Why are you here? Did Puu send you for more training? I thought that was all done!"

Chibi Usagi shrugged, but leaned over and tugged on the mirai tsuki no jouou's pigtail, giving it a good yank and then hugged the blonde. Usagi let out a protest as her hair was tugged on, but hugged the seven-year-old "spore" back.

"Yea, I thought my training was done too, but Mama mustn't think so or why else am I here? And I brought her," and she pointed to the giggling red head in Yami's arms, "with me. For some bizarre reason. Puu said she had to come or something would be wrong with the timeline, again."

"Wrong with timeline!" chirped the red haired girl in Usagi's boyfriend's arms.

Usagi let out a laugh as she stood up with Chibi Usagi and took the three-year-old with her hair tied in identical heart shaped buns with curls ending at her ears from her boyfriend.

"How are you, Chibi Chibi?"

"Chibi, how are you?" the little girl mimicked, clearly proud of herself, because she was beaming.

Chibi Usagi sighed as Yami just blinked, utterly confused by the two new girls standing or being held in front of him. The pink haired girl with her hair tied in cone shaped buns told his girlfriend, "She kept doing that on the way here. She needs to learn how to talk in first person."

Usagi let out a sweet, soft laugh and said, "Now what would be the fun in that? Besides she annoys several people to death, plus it's sweet. She'll grow out of it eventually, you know, Chibi Usa."

"Can't wait," was her response.

Usagi pointed to her clearly out-of-place boyfriend to the little girl and said, "Can you say hi to Yami, Chibi-chan?"

"Pou pou!" Chibi Chibi cried instead, then smiled at Yami, "Pou pou!" 2

Usagi shook her head while waving her pointer finger back in forth in a negative manner, causing the little girl to watching the finger's movement, "No Chibi-chan, his name's Yami. Can you say hi?"

"Pou pou," was the only answer.

The blonde haired tsuki no hime let out a sigh, "Never mind, Chibi."

She then leaned up and pecked her boyfriend on his cheek while wrapping her arm around his and then clasped hands all the while placing the three-year-old on her left hip.

"Yami-chan, this is my future daughter, Small Lady Serenity, or rather Chibi Usagi as we call her and this here is Chibi Chibi. Nobody has any idea where she came from, but she's adorable, isn't she?"

Yami just slowly nodded, while thinking back to the little story she and Sailor Pluto had told him and the YGO gang before she left and realized who the two girls were. He patted the little red haired girl, who let out a squeal of protest, while he chuckled before kissing his girlfriend.

Chibi Usa stared at the teenage guy with tri-colored spiky hair that stuck out in all places. Why was her mother's past self with this guy and not her father? She growled unhappily and crossed her arms over her chest while following them.

As they walked to the Arcade, Usagi's eyes glazed over and she went into a trance like state, her body went rigid and collapsed in a heap on the sidewalk. Thankfully Yami caught her before her head hit the sidewalk.

"Usa-chan," Yami softly called out to her, trying to get her out of her revere, "what's wrong? Usa?"

Placing the youngest girl on the sidewalk, Yami picked up his girlfriend, immediately upon entering the Crown Arcade, asked for help. He was instantly surrounded by Usagi's friends: Mizuno Ami, Hino Rei, Kino Makoto, Aino Minako, Kai'ou Michiru, Ten'ou Haruka, Meiou Setsuna, Ten'ou-Kai'ou Hotaru, Motoki and Motoki's little sister.

Nothingness. It surrounded and caressed her. Involuntarily, she shuttered at the loneliness and coldness that enclosed around her quivering form. Slowly opening her eyes, she was greeted with another pair of sapphire-lavender orbs. She immediately began attempting to stand up, only making it to a sitting position before she heard, "MAMA!"

Her eyes turned away from her precious gaze and was met with herself. She felt her eyes widened as she heard the rest of what her former self was telling her former mother.

With a deep breath of air her former self exclaimed bubbly and excited, "Mama, he… Atemu-chan proposed to me! I accepted, this means we're getting married, right?" 3

Who was Atemu-chan and what was her former self doing marrying him?

Her mother smiled, and unlike the queen she was, rushed down from her throne to embrace her daughter. Her eyes sparkled and she said, "This is fabulous! Now when do you want to have the wedding? Here or in his native country? I'm finally going to be a grandmother!"

Both of females laughed softly before the scene flashed.

When the blinding light died down, she stared incredulously at the scenery in front of her. That and the people she was watching without their knowing.

Clinging to 'Atemu-chan' was her former self - the probably with the visual was that she couldn't make out Atemu-chan's facial features. His face and hair were cloaked in black, along with several other people. She could make out her friends' past selves also with her former self and their former boyfriends, whom; of course, she couldn't tell who they were due to the cloaking.

Ami, or rather her other self, was holding hands with a guy who probably was looking down at her in adoration, then Makoto who was sparing with someone, but in middle of ruckus, ended up making up, and Minako, who was content in her former boyfriend's arms, Hotaru was debating with her boyfriend of this time, Setsuna was just watching over them like a hawk with someone behind her, and surprisingly enough, Haruka was arguing or semi-fighting with her boyfriend. Which completely shocked her. The only two females not present were Rei and Michiru, which was another disbelief for her to digest. 4

Before she could stand up, the scene dissolved before her eyes and she was watching the battle between the Moon and their knights versus Queen Beryl and her lackeys.

Her eyes were glued to her past self and 'Atemu-chan'. Apparently there had been some sort of party or something, because their were numerous royals running around the castle in shock and horror. She watched on from afar, like Setsuna had been in the last scene. First Sailor Neptune fell, followed closely by Sailor Venus. She covered her eyes as she felt the tears begin to fall. Sailor Mercury was protecting her former self when she died. Sailor Jupiter lost her control of her emotions and let out an attack that whisked her life out her hands. The fiery Sailor Mars was able to kill Jadeite before she died in his arms were Sailor Uranus fell shortly after her, then Sailor Saturn appeared and she knew that this was the way it ended.

"YAMI! IIE! YAMI!" was the disturbing and heart wrenching cry that caused her to lose her focus.

Her eyes widened as she heard the name and instantly her gaze turned to catch sight off her former self running onto the battle field and cradling Atemu-chan's head in her arms, crying softly to herself. Her noted the silver band on her left ring finger and realized that it had been a wedding that all of the royalty had been attending; and she felt her heart wrench within her. She heard him murmur something to her former self and knew she was crying as he let go of his life in this era. With what little determination the former tsuki no hime had left, she pulled out his sword from his sheath and raised it above her head, crying out an attack in another language, she destroyed what was left of Beryl's youma army and took her life with the army.

Sailor Saturn stepped forward with her glaive in hand as she and Queen Selenity synced their attacks. Sailor Saturn turned her glaive into it's most deadly position, downwards and summoned the power for her last attack to destroy Beryl, the dark crystal and the seven minions from Chaos. Queen Selenity apologized to Luna and Artemis as her life slipped slow away from her and a lone tear rolled down her cheeks.

When the scene finally cut off and disappeared, she was greeted with Queen Selenity on the moon. She looked down when she caught her mother's gaze and knew what she had seen was the truth. She felt her tears through her princess dress; which she was currently wearing and had just curled herself into a tight ball. Her mother swept down the stairs and brushed her bangs out of her face, "There, there, Serenity, come on, dear. I have more to tell you about your past."

She wiped her tears with both arms, before staring at her mother with a sorrowful look.

"I know you were too little to remember your father from this time period, weren't you?"

She nodded in agreement as her mother pulled her into her lap and wrapped her arms around her daughter.

A smile danced across her mother's face as she seemed to remember her daughter's unknown father. When her mother lifted her face, their gaze locked and she whispered, "Are you aware of the laws between Gods, Goddesses, Queens, Kings and other beings, dear?"

She shook her head, not understanding what this had to do with her father.

"Well, the laws say that no God nor Goddess is allowed to marry a Queen, King nor any other being. The same goes for Queens and Kings and other beings. They are not allowed to marry Gods nor Goddesses." 5

Her head was cocked to one side, curiosity getting the better half of her, "But what does this have to do with my father?"

Her mother patted her hair and smiled, "You're father is Ra. I'm sure you know about Egyptian mythology, right, my musume?"

She shook her head, unsure of anything about Egyptian mythology.

"Oh well, it's like it matters. Your father was God, and as you know, I was a princess at one point in time. When I turned eighteen, old enough to take the throne, I fell in love with your father. And of course, we kept our love a secret, however when it was discovered that I was pregnant, everyone found out about our secret engagement. Your father was taken away from me and I became queen of the moon, then gave birth to you. When the kingdom died, I was reborn as well as your father; this was due to the Fates, Gods and Goddesses, who realized that you had to come into existence, or else Chaos would reek havoc. After I gave birth to you in your home dimension, I died. I was known as Cecilia Pegasus. Whereas I was reborn, for only a short time, your father lived on. This was because the Gods, Goddesses and Fates had agreed that you spent time with me in your first life and that you should spend at least some time with your father, Maximilian Pegasus as he as known as, in this life time. I'm sorry our time here is short, but you must return to your time. Remember, the small things in life are most important and you will know what your future self did in a matter of time. Be patient, I love you, musume. Goodbye, dear." 6

Leaving only a trail of moon dust behind her, Usagi disappeared into nothingness.

"Did anybody… catch the number… on that bus?" came Usagi's voice as she was returned into her body in the Crown Arcade.

Chapter 13:

1Mirai-hime

Japanese translation: future princess.

2Pou-pou

Okay. First of all, don't ask. Because you'll figure it out in chapter 15, alright? If you don't, I'm gonna smack you with a frying pan because it's obvious. It really is. Okay, you may not actually figure out until one of the last chapters, but hey. Close enough.

3Atemu-chan

If you don't know who this is, oi, have I got a lot to explain. Well… not really. He's Yami… erm, Yami's past self… as Pharaoh of Egypt. Hope that makes sense!

4Rei and Michiru missing

Ah, shall be explained. LATER.

5Marriage issues

Completely made up, by your authoress, truly.

6Ra, Maximilian Pegasus, Cecilia Pegaus, etc.

Yea, this is made up also. I scraped the original plan for her father, so I hope this will help in later chapters!
