Different Life

~Chapter Three~

 

“Hime, you are now seventeen years old, your destiny coming to a crossroad.” Setsuna began. “Three years ago, when you were fourteen, you were carefree, normal teenager years were taken from you.” Setsuna bespoke the introduction of her super heroine life. “You never had a chance to find your true self, from beginning when you became legendary, beautiful fighter for love and justice Sailor Moon.” She informed Usagi, giving her a gentle glance. “You took responsibility for all of the earth's well being, and never once did you falter.” Setsuna intoned. “You gave up yours dreams, for the people's security, safety and happiness.” Setsuna reclaimed her princess's noble deeds. She felt the senshi ripple at the statement, and turned to them for a minute.

“I know that all you senshi did that, but all of you at least tried to live your dreams.” Setsuna informed them. “You found yourself, your meaning, your sense of being.” She stated a turned a roving eye to them. “Like you Ami, Hotaru and Mamoru want to become doctors.”Setsuna reminded them, and continued on. “Haruka, a racer, Minako, an idol, Rei, a high priestess, Michiru, a violin player, Makoto, a chef with your own restaurant, and I to become designer.” She listed and turned back to Usagi. “While you, My Highness, didn't find your dream.” Setsuna told her sadly.

“No Setsuna, that's not true!” Usagi cried out, bringing attention to her. “I have a dream, it is to become a bride.”She blushed deeply red, with a dreamy look when she informed them. She began to think how she would look in white wedding dress. Everyone smiled to their princess's outburst even Setsuna.

“I know about this dream princess, but what's after the wedding?” Setsuna inquired softly. “Don't you want to have something more, not only a wife and queen, but to have something else?” Setsuna asked searchingly. “To have some hobbies, interests, or skills?” She wondered to her complaintive hime, however someone else answered.

“Setsuna, you know that her only hobbies are sleeping, eating and shopping.” Rei said and everyone who was in the room laughed, except for Usagi and Setsuna. Who gave everyone death glares that made everyone silent.

“Hmm, So what will it be Hime?” Setsuna enquired, a eyebrow raised, and Usagi glanced at her.

“Are you asking, if I want to have others dreams, than to be just a bride?” Usagi remarked. A sigh echoed in the pause of her question.

“Usagi, of course she is asking you that.” Mamoru confirmed. “You should listen more carefully.”Mamoru said, his tone a little bit harsh. `Did he called me Usagi, not Usako, like always? Why?' Usagi thought sadly. “Yes Hime, I was asking you that.” the senshi of time said with a warm smile.

“I don't know, probably I would want to have others dreams too.” Usagi murmured aloud in thought, before her eyes widen in remembrance. “By the way, I have one dream but…”shakily told little moon princess, glancing at her feet shyly.

“What would it be Hime?” Setsuna inquired, drawing Usagi's attention back to her.

“That's not important, everyone will laugh at it anyways.” She said, looking sad, not like her usual self.

“Usa-chan we will not laugh.” Minako cited her, and raised a closed fist to her heart. “We all promise you that, so tell us.” Minako swore. Usagi glanced around, seeing that her friends were smiling at her warmly and sportingly.

“Ok, I would like to become the elegant Queen, as we saw when we were in the future.” Usagi mumbled, her thoughts turning inward. “However, that is impossible, I already tried to become such person and nothing!” cried Usagi.

“Oh hime, that is only because you want to become someone else.” Setsuna informed her, and caught the confusion on Usagi's face. “You have to find yourself, not to try to be who you saw.” She answered.

“I do not understand Setsuna-san.” Usagi affirmed, tilting her head.

“Like I said, Destiny's are not written in stone, you will become a queen, but you can be very different from the future self which you saw.”Setsuna continued at Usagi's statement.

“So I should be myself?” Usagi quietly asked, as a shadow crept into the living room.

“Yes.” Setsuna responded evenly.

“In that case we will have klutz and stupid queen, were doomed.” the shadow declared, red eyes brimming with knowledge of the statement.

“Luna that's mean!” Usagi whined at her guardian.

“Now please listen to me, I would like suggest something to you my Hime.”Setsuna cut in smoothly, directly locking gazes with her hime. “Remember, that it will be your decision alone, not mine, the senshi's, but yours.” Setsuna informed her. “I don't know what will we get from it, so do listen carefully.” She said, and drew a breath.

“You probably understand that you should be more responsible, and self-confident.” Setsuna firmly stated, waiting for the nod from Usagi. “To learn, to make your own decisions, to trust your decisions, and to know that there might not always be someone who will help you.” Setsuna listed. “I hope you understand that my Hime?” Setsuna fished, and watched as Usagi consider it deeply.

“If you say, you are probably right, but how I could learn that here?” Usagi mused, and watched a small smile alight on Setsuna's face.

“That is right, here you will not learn that, but I know that somewhere else you could.” Setsuna responded. “Simply because you would not have any other choice.” She clipped, and her serious gaze burned into Usagi.

“Setsuna, what do you want to tell us?” Michiru inquired, her elegant head turning to lock gazes with the time senshi. “What exactly are you suggesting?”Michiru asked, who had sat quietly through time while Setsuna was speaking.

“Hime, I would like to send you alone, without any senshi to another dimension.” Setsuna rushed out and waited for the explosion. Sure enough the call rang through the mansion.

“What?!” shouted all the senshi, their protective instincts going haywire.

“Are you insane?” Haruka intoned, her hands fisting at her sides. “She could become hurt or even die without us protecting her.” Haruka ballistically stated, fury running in her navy eyes.

“I understand that where I would like to send her, even I couldn't get there without everyone's power combined.” Setsuna informed them quietly and turned her head away. “Not even I will know what she is doing, but that could help her to learn many things.” Setsuna informed her. “She wouldn't….” whatever the sentence was, to be complete, was cut off by Haruka's roar of outrage. Meanwhile, Usagi was at first stunned by the idea, but as she continued to think it over, a remark came unbridled in her mind. `If Setsuna, thinks that will help me to achieve what I need to become a great queen and person, then I will gladly put my head in the lion's mouth.' She declared to herself.

“Okay, I agree, I will go.” Usagi's soft voice, broke through the hazy anger in the room, and attention snapped to her. Everyone gazed at her like she had grown two heads and gone crazy.

“That was good one Odango Atama, you actually had me going there.” laughed Rei. Usagi turned her sapphires to the violets of her friend.

“I'm not kidding Rei.”She determinedly stated, shocking her fiery friend. This, however, did not hold true for everyone else.

“Koneko that's not safe, you could be hurt badly.” Haruka ground out through her worry.

“Haruka-chan I thought about that, there is truth to your words.” Usagi agreed quietly, and observed as Haruka relaxed slightly. “ However, do you not recall Setsuna-san words, that it is my decision, and only my decision, not yours or anyone else.” Usagi reminded her. No one could believe what she said, they gazed harder and realized it was not their Usagi, or Odango Atama. No, now they saw Princess Serenity, and a budding future Queen.

“Don't worry so much, I will not send her without any protection and care.” Setsuna swore with a small smile. “I will send her to one of our loyal servants to Queen Selenity.” Setsuna informed them. “Whom was sent to other dimension, in Silver Millennium, before Beryl attacked the moon palace.” She continued with a sigh. “After the attack he couldn't return, he is still alive in that dimension because the it has only been seventeen years there.”Setsuna told them. “However, time passes in the two dimensions in the same way, because that dimension time stopped changing.”She spoke with an even tone. “ It frizzed after Queen's Selenity death, you see the silver crystal, in some way created a passageway.” She stated, but a thoughtful frown over came her. “Or something similar, after the Queen's death, the crystal fell asleep, and made that dimension fall asleep too.” Setsuna remarked, and her frown became deeper. “I don't know why, and only after you were reborn, that time unfroze.”Setsuna stated. “The shattered crystal woke up with your new life, you probably will be asking me why.”Setsuna spoke with a cut off. “No one knew about that passageway, you see that dimensional passage was created very long ago.” She said and took a breath.

“Even I wasn't born yet, nor Queen Selenity or her ancestors.” She dead panned, and her a silent thought. “About that dimension, it was discovered by Queen Selenity, she found it by accident thinking about how she could defeat Beryl.”Setsuna informed them. “When she found out about it, she sent one person, who she trusted greatly to do an investigation, but like I already told you he didn't get a chance to return because Moon Kingdom was destroyed.”The tale spilled from her lips. “Yet, I'm positive that he will take care of you my hime, I will send a letter to him explaining everything.” She stated, with an ironic smile she glanced at the group. “By the way have anyone questions?”She asked.

“Hai, I have.” Said Ami, and Setsuna gazed at her obligingly. “How did the crystal created passageway to other dimension?” She mused, and continued before Setsuna could answer. “How do you know about the time passing is the same?” She inquired, and forged on. “Are there more people and senshi like us in that dimension, if there is, how they'd get there?” Ami asked, and glanced intrigued to the stifled senshi.

“I don't know how silver crystal created that dimension passage.” Setsuna responded. “Yes, there are much more people, the queen and I think that crystal sucked the people from our universe, the channel somehow nascent between the Time Gates time gap.”She answered the other questions. “However, even I can't reach that place, because it's to far, if I want to send Usagi-hime there I must ask you all to help me by combining your energy.”Setsuna instructed them.

“If it's really what Usa-chan wants, then I agree.” Makoto said.

“Us too.”chimed the rest of the inner senshi.

“Ok.” Luna and Artemis answered with bowed heads.

“Hai.” Hotaru quipped with a nod.

“We will do that for you, Koneko.” Haruka declared, holding Michiru's hand tightly.

“I agree Usako, but remember that I love you with all my heart and soul, I will miss you.”Mamoru told her and he reached over to kissed her passionately.

“Aishiteru, Mamo-chan.” Usagi swore with a strong smile after the kiss.

“Hime.”Setsuna called to Usagi, gaining her attention. “Before you go I have you tell something.”Setsuna told her. “We will not have enough power to take you from that dimension for about seven months, and you will be without our protection.”Setsuna informed her. “Not to mention you will have to leave now.” Setsuna declared.

“Why now?” Usagi inquired.

“This is the only time I will be able to manage to send you to the closest area that your guardian resides.”Setsuna answered. “His name is Akio1 Yumi2, I will give you all your memories about him, so that you will be able to recognize him.” She informed Usagi. Setsuna transformed to Sailor Pluto and with her staff she showed some memories that were associated with him. They saw a tall man, with black hair playing with princess Serenity, teaching her mathematics, and speaking with Queen Selenity. “Okay, now you know how he looks, I can send you there.”Setsuna informed her. “Here take this.” Setsuna instructed, shoving something into Usagi's hand, to which Usagi gazed curiously. “That is all the money I manage to get from that dimension, you will need it.”She furthered her explanation. “When you meet Akio, give him this letter, it will explain to him some things.” She stated, and held up a hand to stop the question from Usagi. “I have already sent a letter, and told about your visit.”Setsuna spoke, and turned her attention to the senshi. “Everyone, transform, we have to send our hime now, it is time.” She instructed, flashes of lights answered her order.

Everyone transformed to their senshi fukus's and said their goodbyes to each other. There were many tears and hugs, Mamoru, for the last time, kissed his fiancé and then Pluto spoke up. “Make a circle around Usagi-hime and concentrate.”She ordered. Everyone did as they was told and then in a flash of light Usagi disappeared. The senshi added parting wishes from their thoughts. `Hime, I hope you will be safe and find your true self.' Setsuna wished silently.

`Koneko be safe' Haruka, and Michiru prayed.

`Odango Atama, don't do anything stupid.' Rei quipped in her thoughts.

`Usa-chan/Usagi-chan/princess, don't forget us.' They all wished, and then tearily stared up at the ceiling.
