Author's Notes: Well, seeing as I left such a huge cliffhanger on the
last one, I've decided to start on this one right away. That was kind
of an evil place to end, wasn't it? Anyway, I'm actually going to answer
questions this time. I think I've asked everything that needed asking,
so look for more solutions and revelations. I just keep reeling them
off the top of my head, and there's a REALLY important one in this
chapter. (The solution to how do we get Serenity to go back to
Heero.) I love the solution, it not only solves one plot quirk, but it
helps with a whole slew of others. ^_^ Happy Rose.
Hugs and chocolate to my beta readers, Cheryl, Janine, and the Tenshi
of the Third. You guys are the bestest!!!!!
REVIEW!!!! That's all that needs to be said, except there was a big
cliffie in the last chapter that has a totally non-important ending. In
other words, Rose kept you hanging for nothing. Isn't she mean?
Tell her in reviews, ne?
Moving On - Chapter 8

Makoto swiftly reached up and retrieved the key. She turned it slowly
in the lock. The door opened easily, and both girls adopted shocked
expressions at the sight that greeted them.
"Mamoru!" Rei yelled, running over to the couch and shaking him.
"Mamoru, please, wake up!"
Makoto watched in desperation as Rei attempted to wake the
prince. He had to still be alive, he simply had to. None of them would
survive the loss of another important member of their 'family' that day.
She sighed in visible relief as Mamoru's eyes sprang open.
"Rei? What are you doing here?" He asked in a confused
tone of voice. Makoto and Rei exchanged glances. Their prince may
be alive, but something was still very wrong here. Mamoru looked
surprisingly calm for a man who had lost his fiancé that same day.
Suddenly, Rei realized the only reason he could possibly be so relaxed,
and thanked heaven that this was the only affect Usagi's death had on him
before he was found - Mamoru was deliberately blocking it out. After
glancing once more at Makoto, Rei spoke gently to her prince.
"Mamoru, why don't you come with us to the temple. We'll
talk about it there." Rei said simply.
"Yes, let's go to the temple." Makoto added. It would be a
good idea to have Mamoru with all the senshi when they broke the news.
It was a better idea still to bring him to a place of a lower height, where
he couldn't fall for as long if he should decide to jump.
"I don't understand, but whatever you say." Mamoru
said tranquilly. In the deep recesses of his mind, he reached out to
the one he loved. A message was sent easily through the telepathic
link her magic had created for them. 'I'm with the senshi now love.
I'll be with you as soon as I can.'
~* Dimension GW *~
Suddenly, Motoki and Quatre's eyes snapped open.
Heero looked pleadingly into their eyes, but the downcast
expressions on their face confirmed what he thought. Serenity had
blocked them out of the haven they had once shared.
"What did you tell her, Heero?" Quatre asked him immediately.
"You know you were always one of my best friends, and I won't let you keep
it a secret any longer. What did you do that upset her so much?"
"I told her about Diana." Heero said. Silence resounded in the room.
"And this Diana is the reason you became so cold?" Trowa
inquired. (My stars, he spoke!)
"Heero, I have to say it. You're an idiot, giving up Serenity
so easily." Duo informed him in that ironic tone that only Duo could ever
truly use, shaking his head.
"Duo," Quatre spoke calmly to his long time friend and sister's
bodyguard, "Heero didn't remember her. Besides, I'm sure he has a very
good explanation for doing what he did to my sister."
There was a gleam in Quatre's eyes similar to the look he got
while piloting Wing Zero. It said quite clearly that if there wasn't a good
reason, Heero was beyond dead for hurting his sister. Motoki's face was
impassive, willingly to listen, but his eyes were furious and he would most
certainly be willing to help kick Heero's ass in the event that there wasn't a
decent excuse. The rest all listened patiently, the senshi still glaring at the
former prince of Earth.
"She and her friends died saving my life." Heero said tersely.
If it had been anyone else asking, and any one other than these, his friends,
were in the room, there was no way he would have answered. Even still, he
would go no further into what had happened to him. Perhaps someday, the
time would be right to tell them. Just now, though, he had to worry about
Serenity. His love was in trouble, and it was all his fault. Why, he thought,
why did I ever fall in love with Diana?
~* Astral Plane *~
The two crowded around their princess to try and get more
information from her when a bright light suddenly filled the room. Serenity
didn't really care anymore about bright lights, they were rather common in this
realm, especially with all the dead people and Crystal work that went on.
Minako and Ami covered their eyes with their hands until the light faded.
When it did, there stood Queen Serenity.
"Mother!" Serenity exclaimed, running quickly to the queen and
embracing her. The old queen smiled down at her daughter. It was only here,
where everything became as her daughter willed, that she could embrace her
child.
"Daughter." Queen Serenity said softly, returning the hug gently.
She smiled upon her little princess, the babe she once held in her arms.
Now it was time to set everything right.
"Queen Serenity." The senshi stated and curtsied gracefully, their
princess dresses floating majestically around them. The queen nodded and
they stood quickly, courtesies finished. Now it was time to get down to business.
Why were they here?
"Venus, Mercury, I know you're curious as to how you came to
be here, but if you stretch your minds back to the Silver Millennium, you will
recall this place and your adventures here. I have come here to talk to
Serenity." In a flash of silver she turned back to her daughter as the other
two occupants of the room searched and recovered that which they had
overlooked earlier. This place belonged to Serenity, and she alone could
open it to herself and others. But to do that, she needed to accept her full
powers as she did in the past, which meant…
Mother and daughter laughed as the guardians recalled it all.
Their expressions were priceless. Then Queen Serenity's expression
turned serious.
"Serenity, I came to tell you the truth of what happened with Heero."
"Mother…" Serenity could not bring herself to finish the sentence.
It hurt too much to think about him. The senshi just looked confused, but
neither lunarian was paying much attention to them at that point.
"Darling, I know what you think, but you're wrong. He would
never betray you, in this life or the last. He still hasn't. The prince will
always be faithful to his princess." The elder Serenity firmly stated.
"But Diana…" The protest died on her lips. Her expression
was stunned, shock written all over her face. How could he tell her that he
had loved someone else and yet still be ever faithful to her?
"Child, haven't you figured it out yet?" Queen Serenity asked
curiously. She held her daughter tightly, and sat her down on the silver
couch that happened to be there. It was most likely brought out by the
Astral Princess's need to sit down.
"Figured out what? Mother, Heero gave his heart to another
woman! You can not maintain that he is ever faithful when he admitted
to me that he loved another." All of the pain that had been festering
inside Serenity spilled out, tears again filling her beautiful blue eyes.
Usually so clear, they had been clouded by all the tears she had cried.
"Usagi, Heero never loved another woman. He has always
loved you." Queen Serenity paused, and tried to find the best way to
tell Serenity the story. The senshi seated themselves on the other couch,
opposite the two. The tale promised to be very interesting, and Ami was
sure it held all sorts of wonderful details and history.
"When the Crystal sent you and those you loved forward into
time, it did not make a mistake. All of you were sent to same place in
the same time, the future of our dimension, where your twin, love, and
bodyguards continued to reside. Metallia rose again in this dimension,
with the help of her most faithful servants, and you and the others were
forced into battle." The queen paused for a moment to breathe, then
continued.
"The fight was long and hard, and the unawakened guardians
could not help. You, as well as the inner senshi, Motoki, and Heero battled
her and sealed her away again. Still she was not defeated, merely sent to
a different dimension. No one save Heero survived the battle, but when
you made your last wish on the Crystal you asked to be taken to the
dimension where Metallia had gone, that you might defeat her permanently.
Your last words were a vow to return one day to the man you had loved and
lost not once but twice, sealing away his memories of the Silver Millennium
as you passed."
"Serenity, Heero could never cheat on you with Diana for one
simple reason. *You* are Diana. He was merely loving the same person
he'd loved for millennia, reborn to live with him. Please do not fault him for
loving you too much."
"Then its my fault he lived his life alone, and so sad and
removed…" the young Serenity whispered, her eyes still filled with
tears. This time, though, they were not the sea of pain. Rather, her eyes
rained joy and love for her Heero. She looked up at her mother and smiled.
"I'm sorry Mother, but there's someone I have to go talk to."
With a last hug and a quick kiss for her mother, Princess Serenity
unlocked the gate to the Gundam dimension and vanished into it.
The spirit sighed as it again became a mere specter, speaking once
more to the senshi before she vanished back to whence she'd come.
"You know, Mars and Jupiter are probably wondering where
you are right now. It might be a good idea to visit them. I promise,
Serenity won't be back for at least a few hours." She smiled, and with
a flash of light disappeared. The awe filled senshi looked at each other
before quickly returning to the dimension where they belonged.
~* Dimension GW *~
"Heero…" Serenity sighed. Her eyes opened, and the first
thing she noticed was that she was no longer in the park where she'd
fallen asleep. Darling, she thought, you really didn't have to carry me
all the way back here. I hope Haruka and the others didn't hurt him.
"Princess, you came back to us!" Hotaru said happily. The
others immediately swarmed around her. It was quite obvious that they
were trying to keep her as far away from Heero as possible. She glanced
at him and smiled, tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry Renity, we're not going to let him get away with
what he did to you." Haruka informed her, glaring icily at the man she
once counted a friend.
"In the name of love most sacred, he will feel Neptune's wrath."
Michiru agreed. Haruka nodded her head in agreement. Serenity laughed
softly, and pushed past them to the man she loved.
"Heero, I'm so sorry. Mother just explained everything to me.
Can you ever forgive me?" She asked him, hope gleaming in her eyes as
she telepathically showed him what her mother had told him. Heero said
nothing, merely pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her.
Serenity responded by leaning up to meet him, and for the first time in
this lifetime, their lips met in a sweet kiss.
"Did anyone else just miss something?" Duo asked. "I expected
at least a little violence, someone knocking some sense into Heero. Where'd
all this touchy feely crap come from. I mean, it is Heero and Serenity. She's
usually not this forgiving. I seem to remember a couple of Sword of Artemis
threats directed at me, and I certainly didn't betray her love-"
"Maxwell, shut up." Wufei interrupted. Haruka and Michiru were
caught in each other's eyes, confused but not unpleased by the sight before
them. Hotaru and Trowa were engaged in a similar activity. Quatre and
Motoki were both staring off into space, dreaming about their own one true
loves. Duo shook his head. Only he and Wufei were left without anyone to
share this moment.
"Get a room, please." Duo said. Then he turned and stared
long and deeply into Wufei's eyes. The Chinese boy gave him a strange,
quizzical look before turning away with a shake of his head.
"Injustice. They get the ones they love and I'm stuck with Maxwell.
Injustice." He muttered.
Serenity and Heero didn't even notice, too wrapped up in the joy of
being together again. Everything was perfect for that one sweet moment.
Naturally, it was at this precise moment that a portal opened behind
them and a mysterious person stepped through.
~* End Chapter 8 *~
Wow, that was longer than last chapter. So tell me, who saw the Diana thing coming? Kudos if you did, I personally loved her explanation. Told ya it cleared up the plot. Not cliffie enough for me, but I think
it was probably a good idea to let you breathe until the next chapter, ne? Oh well.
Please don't go expecting more story any time in the immediate future. There are midterms in two weeks that I really have to pass, so I won't have as much time to type. I will try to get out part nine before midterms though. I can't, however, make any guarantees.
PLEASE REVIEW!
~Rose
last one, I've decided to start on this one right away. That was kind
of an evil place to end, wasn't it? Anyway, I'm actually going to answer
questions this time. I think I've asked everything that needed asking,
so look for more solutions and revelations. I just keep reeling them
off the top of my head, and there's a REALLY important one in this
chapter. (The solution to how do we get Serenity to go back to
Heero.) I love the solution, it not only solves one plot quirk, but it
helps with a whole slew of others. ^_^ Happy Rose.
Hugs and chocolate to my beta readers, Cheryl, Janine, and the Tenshi
