Disclaimer: yea I wish, but sad to say no I don't own Escaflowne or Sailormoon, so without further ado here's “Return of the Past.”

~ Chapter 1, We're moving!!! ~

In the early morning hours the sun shined dimly through the shear white curtains of a bedroom. The bedroom looked as if it belonged to a little girl. The walls were covered in light pink striped wallpaper. Strewn about the light pink carpeted floor were various articles of clothing and a couple of stuffed animals. Up against the wall opposite the window was a modest armoire set with one door slightly ajar. And just in front of it was a chair with a panda on it. Off to the left was a small table a few shades darker than the color of the wall paper with a vase of flowers centered in the middle on it. On left side of the room was a closet the doors open to view the various clothes inside. There in the middle of the room just to the side of a bookcase with a mirror hanging over it was a bed with a light blueish purple comforter that was decorated with pink stars, yellow crescent moon's and white bunnies. Currently the comforter was tangled around the legs of a young teen that was snoring softly as she hugged her pillow closer to her. She had extremely long hair that fanned out over the bed. She was wearing a pink pajama set that had yellow crescents on it. Lying at the end of the bed were two cats, a black one and a white one which both had the most peculiar crescent mark on their foreheads.

The door to the room creaked open as an indigo haired woman crept into the room. She was dressed in a light yellow turtleneck and a reddish orange Shin length skirt. Resting over that was a white apron with green trim. Light yellow slippers covered feet as she quietly padded across the room to the bed. Lightly shaking the teen sleeping on the bed she called her name. The girl mumbled something as she rolled over to face the window.

"Usagi, come on its time to get up." the woman said as she shook the girl again. The just continued to snore away. Sighing as she shook her head she took in a breath and prepared for her next tactic.

"Usagi!!” She shouted “If you don't get up now you'll be late for school." She watched as the girl immediately shot up in her bed almost falling off as her legs were still tangled in the comforter. Now that the teen was awake you could see that she had soft crystalline blue eyes.

:::Usagi's POV:::
I jumped up immediately almost hyperventilating as an untangled myself from my bed sheets before starting to run towards my closet.

"Why didn't you wake me up sooner," I asked as I rushed around my room to get ready for school." Just as I was rushing to find my skirt I heard laughing, so I stopped what I was doing and looked up at my mother.

"Usagi, don't worry, you won't be late." My mother said as she tried to stifle her laughter. I looked at my mother a little confused then looked at my clock. It said 6:15, I was up early. “I only said that to get you up. Now, please get dressed and come down for breakfast."

"But."

"Gomen Usagi, demo you need to hear something that your father and I have to tell you so please get dressed and come down stairs ok."

"Ok mom."

After my mother said that she left the room. 'I wonder what's wrong.' I thought as I walked to my dresser to grab a shirt and some pants. After I finished getting dressed I walked back over to my bed to pet my cats, which were now awake. "Hello Luna, good morning Artemis." I said as I scratched them both behind the ears before leaving my room to go downstairs.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

:::Normal POV:::

"Good morning," Usagi cheerfully said as she walked into the kitchen. Sitting down at the table she grabbed a piece of toast and started to spread some butter on it.

"Wow the Odango Atama is up early.” A little boy mockingly exclaimed as he bit into his toast. He had light Sandy brown, short cropped hair and dark blue eyes. His current choice of clothing was a white t-shirt and a pair of blue shorts. “So did you get shocked by lightning or did mom dump cold water on you?"

"Shut up Shingo," Usagi said to the little boy as she glared at him.

"Alright you two,” started their mother as she sat down with her own plate of toast, “Behave.”

"Hai." "hai." Were the two replies as the two quieted down and sat continued to eat their breakfast. Their mother smiled at them and ate began to eat her toast. After a few minutes when all the toast was gone their mother spoke up.

"Now Usagi, Shingo, your father has something to tell you," she said as she turn her gaze from them to her husband. He was a middle aged man with a neatly cut short brown hair. He was dressed in a brown suit and as he placed the news paper down on the table you could see the thick rimmed black glasses perched on his nose.

"All right then,” he started as he looked to his children, “Usagi Shingo I've been promoted."

"Really." They said in unison cutting him off.

"Yes but, with this new promotion we will be moving to a new neighborhood," he said.

"What?!?!" was the reply from the flabbergasted children. He sighed knowing that they weren't going to take it well.

“It's just as I said,” he replied with a slightly sad tone, “They want me to go work in another office, one that just opened in another neighborhood.” Usagi wordlessly excused herself from the table and made her way back up the stairs to her room where she stayed for the rest of the day. Shingo quietly excused himself and left for his friend's house.

“Well,” he sighed, “that could have been worse.” His wife rubbed his left shoulder consolingly.

“Don't worry honey,” she said, “they'll adjust.”

~school (next day)~

"Hey Usagi," greeted a girl as she sat down in the desk next to her. She had short, wavy, reddish brown hair. Part of her hair was tied back by a bluish green bow. She was dressed in the typical girl's school uniform.

"Hey Usagi," greeted a boy as he sat down in the desk on the other side of the girl. He had short, messy dark brown hair. A pair of thick coke-bottle glasses covered his eyes. He was dressed in the typical boy's school uniform.

"Hi Naru, Hi Umino," came the sullen reply from Usagi.

"Hey Usagi, is something a matter?" asked Naru.

"I'm moving," She replied as she hid her face in her arms

"You're what?!" Naru shouted almost loud enough for the other classrooms to hear her.

"I'm moving. In a month I'll be moving to Kyoto.”

"Oh Usagi, I'm gonna miss you," said Naru as she threw her arms around her best friend. Usagi hugged her back trying her best not to cry.

"Hey what going on here?" asked a girl who had just entered the class room. She had long raven black hair that had purple highlights, and dark violet eyes.

"Ya, why all the long faces?" asked another girl who entered behind her. She had pale blond hair that went down to her thighs which was partly tied back by a red bow, and light blue eyes.

"Usagi's moving to Kyoto," Umino said.

"Do my ears deceive me or did I just here the nerd say that you're moving?" asked another girl who came in behind the blonde. She had brown hair tied up in a pony tail and emerald green eyes. She was accompanied by a girl with shoulder length dark blue, almost back hair, and sparkling blue eyes.

"No, you heard right Mako-chan, I'm moving to Kyoto in a month," said Usagi as she pulled out of her hug with Naru, and faced her.

"Oh Usagi," Makoto said as she immediately pulled the blond in to a big bear hug. While this was happening, the other blond pulled the others away(except for Naru and Umino).

"Minako what are you doing?" hissed the raven-haired girl.

"Shhhhh Rei, I Have an idea but I don't want Usa-chan to know ok," replied Minako as she looked back in the direction of the others.

"Well then spit it out," Rei shot back impatiently.

"I think that we should all throw a farewell party for Usagi," she said.

"That's a good idea, but what about Makoto, Naru, and Umino," asked the girl with dark blue hair.

"Ames," she said, "I think that Naru and Umino have something else in mind, and don't worry I'll fill Mako-chan in on everything ok.”

"And besides, Amy, Usagi deserves to have some fun before she moves, right?" asked Rei

"I guess so" said Amy. With that they spent the rest of lunch planning the whole thing. And later that day they met up with Makoto and filled her in on everything then left to prepare everything.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~The day before the move~

The girls had all met at Rei's temple, the only one oblivious as to what was going on was Usagi. They all sat around the table in Rei's room talking, laughing, and having fun. Makoto being the fabulous cook that she was had cooked up a fairly large array of snacks for the party.

"Umm, Usagi," said Minako.

"Yes Mina-chan, what is it?" Usagi asked looking to her right.

"The girls and I have something that we want to give to you," she said as she pulled out a small object wrapped in paper.

"Ya, they are our going away presents to you," said Rei as she pulled out a parcel, Ami and Makoto following suit.

"Guys you didn't have to y'know," said Usagi as she looked at the parcels they held.

"Ya we know, but we did it anyway." Said Makoto

"Here open mine first," said Mina as she shoved the small thin package into Usagi's hands. Usagi ripped the paper off to reveal that it was a game.

"Oh my god!! It's the new Sailor V game," Usagi exclaimed.

"Ya I knew that you wanted it so I used up what was left of my spending money to get it for you," she said just before she was knocked down.

"Oh, thankyouthankyouthanktyou, you're the best Mina-chan," said Usagi excitedly.

"Here open mine next," said Rei. Usagi took the parcel Rei was holding, and ripped off the paper to reveal the very same priestess outfit that Rei was wearing. "I know how much u liked my priestess robes so I got those from the store room just for you."

"Thanks Rei-chan I love it."

"You can open mine next if you want," said Amy. She took the package for Amy and ripped the paper off. It was a laptop. "It has a whole library of books and other programs on it. It even has some games and a satellite internet connection."

"Thanks Ames," Usagi said as she hugged her.

"Here," said Makoto, " I thought that you might like some snacks for the road."

"Thanks you guys. I love the gifts."

"That's not all Usagi. You have two more gifts to open," said Minako as she pulled two packages from under the table. "The small ones from Naru and the other ones from everyone of us, even Umino." Usagi opened the small one first to reveal a charm bracelet. It had ten charms on it. The charms were the symbols of the planets, a rose, and a crescent moon. She opened the other gift to reveal a photo album filled with pictures of them all. When they finished off the food, they all went to the crown arcade and spent the rest of the day there.

~later that night~

As Usagi was getting ready for bed, she stopped to look around her room. It was now empty, everything had been packed away and all that was left was a few boxes and a pillow and blanket for her to sleep on that night. She wished her two cats good night and went to sleep. When Luna, the black cat, was sure that she was asleep, she turned to Artemis and asked, "Do u think that she will be able to stop the evil that is rising?"

"I don't know Luna, I don't know, but I think that we should go to sleep now we have a long day ahead of us. If our princess and the senshi are ready to fight this evil then we'll know when the time comes," he replied. With that the two cats went to sleep.
