Usagi woke up in a cold sweat. That was the fourth time this month. She kept having a dream about being lost. Before she woke up she saw a man with mismatched eyes.

“What does this mean,” she asked herself, frustrated. The blonde looked over to her clock. The bright red numbers read 4:30. “Might as well get up,” she sighed. She threw the black covers off of her and swung her legs over the side of the bed.

“Usagi? What are you doing awake so early?” a small black cat sat on the window sill of her bedroom.

“Oh, hey Luna. I thought you were over at Mina’s with Artemis,” Usagi changed the subject and noted the blush creeping up on Luna’s cheeks.

“Never-mind that. Are you going to work early?” the cat asked as Usagi threw on a pair of jean and a purple t-shirt.

“Yup, thought I’d put in some extra hours since I couldn’t go back to sleep,” the blonde answered.

“The dream again?” Luna’s head tilted to the side curiously.

“The dream again,” was Usagi’s answer as she walked out of her room. She looked around her small apartment. “Luna, are you shedding on my furniture?” she called. The scowling feline came padding up behind her.

“Not funny,” she growled and Usagi laughed. She pet the cat on the head. “So did you tell Mamoru yet?” she asked accusingly. Usagi laughed nervously. The human entered the kitchen and started a pot of ramen (AN: Yummy!). “Usagi, the longer you put this off the more it’s going to haunt you,” the cat lectured.

“Tell that to my supposed mother!” Usagi growled. “She’s the one who decided to tell me a month after Mamoru proposed that he and Rei are destined!” she practically screamed. “Destiny sucks sometimes. And I’m not talking about me! I feel like I’ve betrayed my best friend,” she sighed and started some coffee.

“But you told me it didn’t fell right between you and Mamoru anyway,” Luna argued as she hopped up on the counter.

“It still doesn’t! That’s why I’m going to tell all of them at the meeting today,” she consented. Luna nodded. “Well at least now we know why Chibi-Usa’ s hair is pink. Rei’s got that dark purple hair and Mamoru’s mother was blonde,” Usagi chatted. She poured the boiling ramen into a bowling and started eating it.

“So are really you going through with this?” Luna asked.

“I won’t turn back now. I’ve already said it! I’ll stick with my promises,” Usagi said. “Besides I’m going to take Zoe along with me,” Usagi reassure herself. Luna shook her head.

“That renegade scout is a bad influence on you,” Luna commented sternly.

“Oh come on Luna, you love her and you know it,” Usagi laughed then looked down at her watch, “Well, Luna, I’m going now. By the way we have a new girl coming in to work today!” Usagi said, filled a thermos with coffee, and headed out the door. ---

“It was nice of Matoki to give us jobs at the Crown,” the bored girl at the counter tried to make conversation. Usagi rolled her eyes.

“Zoe, he had to hire someone to take care of the place while him and Rita go on their honeymoon,” Usagi said with a fake sigh.

Zoe flipped her red-blonde braid over her shoulder and eyed Usagi, “Speaking of newlyweds, or in your case ‘almost’, you tell Mamoru-san yet?” she asked. Her amber eyes searched her friend’s.

“Not yet, but I will today. Will you come with me? Please?!” Usagi pleaded.

“Alright, alright, stop begging and go get drink orders,” Zoe ordered. Usagi saluted mockingly.

“Yes, sir! Ma’am!” Usagi laughed then went back to work. Zoe started to clean the counter.

“Hello?” a chipper voice said. Zoe looked up form the counter and smiled.

“Ohayo,” Zoe replied. The girl in front of her had dark chestnut colored hair and forest green hair. “Can I help you?”

“Yes, I’m looking for Tsukino Usagi,” she said.

“Oh yeah,. You must be the new girl. I’m Hokkyoku Zoe,” she said and shook the girl’s hand. “Usagi-chan! New girl’s here!” she called across the arcade. Usagi wrote down some orders then walked over to the two.

“Zoe, you don’t have to yell across the place!” Usagi scolded then turned to the girl.

“Hello, I’m Sarah Williams. The foreigner you talk on the phone with,” Sarah joked. Usagi smiled.

“I was expecting you,” Usagi said and held out her hand, “I’m Usagi,” Sarah shook the blonde’s hand. “Come on I’ll show you around.” --

“Ja Ne! I’ll see you Monday, Sarah!” Usagi called.

“Bye Usagi-chan,” Sarah yelled back. Usagi and Zoe waved goodbye and headed towards the Cherry Hill Temple.

“You ready for this?” Zoe asked as they neared the temple. Usagi nodded with a determined look. As they went up the gray steps Usagi began to take deep breathes.

“Hey guys,” Usagi said and after she plastered on a smile and entered. The inner scouts at the table looked up and smiled to their princess. Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru sat in separate chairs about five feet from the table. Pluto was at the gates, she wasn’t at this meeting. Mamoru sat leaning against a wall. Then the others noticed Zoe.

“Must you people stare?” Zoe asked, not amused.

“Guys, I need to talk to you about something,” Usagi said nervously. She sat down by the table. Zoe stayed standing up and leaned against the wall, close to the door. Usagi started to wring her hands. “Mother came to me, not to long ago,” she began. “She told me some things,” Usagi started to get more nervous as she looked at the curious faces of her friends.

“Usagi-chan” Ami said, “you can tell us,” Usagi took another deep breath.

“You will find this a little unbelievable, but she told me that our future and some of our past is and was wrong,” she told them. There were shocked faces. Zoe rolled her eyes. “For one thing, Mamoru, you and I weren’t love and I’m sorry to say, but I’m not in love now. You and Rei are the ones that were in love,” she said. Rei’s eyes widened and Mamoru’s mouth dropped.

“Don’t’ be so surprised,” Zoe interrupted the silence, and they all looked to her. “Mamoru-san, you and Usagi were never meant to be. You just believed what the fates told you! Big deal! Usagi has realized her feelings, maybe you should too. I mean I think everyone here has doubted the relationship at least once,” Zoe finished. The scouts looked form one another.

“Second,” Usagi got their attention again. “Chibi-Usa is not my daughter,” Usagi said and looked down at the red and white ring on fourth her finger. “I think mother told me because she couldn’t bare to see the wrong people get married,” Usagi pulled the ring off. She got up and walked over to Mamoru. She set the small round object in his hand. “I’m sorry, but I just don’t love you the way the fates made me think I did,” she said.

“That’s alright, I fell for their trick too,” Mamoru said and closed his hand around the ring.

“You’ll be happy, I know you will,” Usagi said and stood up again. “We will still fight together, but I think this was a message. We are free from destiny and now we rule our own lives. Maybe Crystal Tokyo will exist, with a new queen,” Usagi smiled to Rei, who blushed, “Or maybe it won’t,” she said and walked over to the door. “I don’t know about you guys, but I’m thinking about taking a very long vacation,” she said and exited the room.

“Peace! Inners. Outers,” Zoe gave them the peace sign then left the temple. ----

“Glad that’s over!” Usagi said as she stretched her arms above her head.

“You think Tokyo will ever need Sailor Moon again?” Zoe asked as they were walking home. There was a scream from the park.

“As long as these rogue youma are still around, yes,” Usagi answered and transformed.

“Polaris Crystal Star Power! Make up!” Zoe yelled and transformed. Her fuku wasn’t too different from the other scouts. The skirt was black and her bows were silver. Her tiara had a silver jewel in the center.

The two ran to the park and were confronted by a giant snake-like monster. There was a crowd of children huddled together. It was like a deer in the front of headlights.

“Hey you!” both girls yelled.

“I hate monsters who pick on little kids,” Sailor moon yelled. “On be-half of the moon I will punish you,” she spoke. ‘Wow, this speech gets even more boring each time,’ Usagi said.

“I just love to fight and on be-half of the North Star, Polaris, I’ll kick your ass, I’m Sailor Polaris!” she said with less enthusiasm. She winked to the sweat-dropping Sailor Moon.

“You want to go first?” Sailor Moon asked.

“Gladly,” Polaris responded. “North Star Hurricane!” she yelled and a twister-like attack was sent towards the monster it was easily knocked on it’s back.

“Honeymoon Therapy Kiss,” Sailor moon said and dusted the thing.

“This is getting too easy. Where’s the challenge?!” Polaris complained.

“Where were you about four years ago?” Usagi asked as they detransformed behind a building. “Besides these are just stupid left over youma that wandered into the wrong territory,” Usagi said.

“Argh, we never have fun anymore do we?”

“No, we’re adults now,” Usagi said. Then the two burst out laughing ---------------------------------------------------------------
