Chapter 1

"Serenity will be mine!" Diamond muttered angrily as he saw Tuxedo Mask disappear with Sailor Moon in his arms. "Soon she will be mine, forever!" He finished his sentence with an evil laughter before returning to his throne room to begin his evil scheme.

Not far from there Tuxedo Mask gently lowered Sailor Moon to the ground. "Did he hurt you?" He asked with a concerned voice gently tracing her jaw with his fingertips.

"No I'm all right. He just scared me!" Sailor Moon replied, trying to suppress her thoughts about the evil prince.

"Don't worry dear! He will never lay a finger on you again!" Tuxedo Mask said and tenderly kissed her mouth.

"He is obsessed with me! I don't know why though! I'm not that special. I'm……." Tuxedo Mask's fingertips silenced her.

"Shush! Don't say that! You're the most important and special person in this world. You're our light and hope in our fight against evil. Without you, we would have lost a long time ago!"

Sailor Moon blushed scarlet and refused to meet his gaze. He raised her chin slowly and claimed her lips with his own in a passionate kiss that seemed to go on forever. Maybe it would have if they hadn't felt seven pairs of eyes starring at them. They slowed parted and looked towards their friends. They stood there with starry eyes, while Chibiusa, Luna and Artemis just looked happy to see them.

"Don't you have anything else to do?" Sailor Moon asked with a sigh.

"No!" They chorused innocently before running towards their leader to assure themselves that she was safe.

"Don't scare me like that, Odango Atama!" Mars said before embracing Sailor Moon tightly with tearful eyes.

"I'm sorry!" Sailor Moon replied and embraced the fire warrior before embracing the others as well.

"We're glad that you are safe now, that's all that matters!" Sailor Jupiter said with a big grin.

"Don't scare me like that again Mommy. I thought I never would see you again." Chibiusa cried before attaching herself against Sailor Moon's leg.

"I would never leave you, honey! Because if I did, you would never be born. I would fight with all my power to assure that my future with all of you will become reality." Sailor Moon said with a gentle smile towards her future daughter.

"You promise?" The five-year-old princess asked.

"I promise!" Sailor Moon said and picked up Chibiusa in her arms as they headed back towards the palace.

"Sapphire?" Diamond said with a demanding voice.

"Yes, Diamond?" His brother replied with a bow towards his prince.

"I have a new plan on capturing Serenity. I want you to set this plan to motion. This time, we will succeed! Finally she will be mine!" He said with an evil laugh.

"Yes, Diamond. I assure you, this time we will not fail." His brother said and with a bow he disappeared to begin his travel back to the past. As soon as Sapphire had left the throne room Diamond pressed a button on the side of his throne. Immediately a hologram appeared before him with the image of Neo-Queen Serenity. Diamond stared at the image with a lustful smile while sipping on his wine.

In the shadows a woman could be seen with a jealous expression. "I will kill her if that is the only way to assure myself of the Prince's affection. Once she is out of the picture Prince Diamond will be mine!"

She disappeared with an evil smile and travelled to the past as well. Diamond never noticed her, because he was too busy admiring Serenity.

"Soon my dear, it will be you and me, ruling this Earth and thanks to my brainwashing you will never love anyone beside me for the rest of your life. As soon as we get rid of Endymion we'll live happily ever after." He took another sip of his wine and continued to admire Serenity.

Back at the palace the Senshi and Tuxedo Mask were gathered in front of the hologram Endymion.

"You have to return to the past. The enemy is already on the way there." He said with a sad smile.

"But what about Serenity?" Sailor Moon asked with a frown. "Aren't we supposed to try to save her from her crystal prison?" Everyone turned towards the crystal floating in the middle of the room.

"The only way to save her and me is to defeat Prince Diamond and his warriors." Endymion replied with a longing look towards his wife. "It's up to you to defeat him, Usako."

Sailor Moon winced at her nickname coming from the older Mamoru. She was still a little confused about talking to her love's future self. "But, how do I defeat him?" She asked with a frown.

"That is something only can figure out, my Princess." Sailor Pluto replied as she appeared in front of the Sailor Senshi.

"Gesh, Pluto! Don't scare us like that!" Sailor Venus said as she jumped back in shock.

The only response was a mischievous smile coming from the Guardian of Time, before she returned her attention towards Sailor Moon. "You have to go back to the past to defeat him, Sailor Moon. You are our only hope for the future."

Sailor Moon gulped before nodding seriously to the tall Senshi.

"Can I come too, Puu?" Chibiusa asked and tugged on Sailor Pluto's skirt.

Sailor Pluto looked tenderly at the small princess who looked at her with pleading eyes. "Yes, you can come as well Small Lady. You are safer in the past with Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask." The last was said with an apologizing gaze towards King Endymion.

"It's all right, Sailor Pluto. Her safety means more to me than anything. If she is safer in the past, then that's where she must go. Although I will miss her dearly." The last was said with a sad smile towards Chibiusa. "Now, be nice to Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, Small Lady?"

"Yes, daddy!" She answered with a cute little smile towards her future parents.

"Let's go then!" Sailor Pluto said with a smile and opened a portal behind her.

"Bye daddy!" Chibiusa yelled before following Sailor Pluto into the portal. The other waved as well and begun their travel back to the past.

They left behind the hologram of the King of Earth who watched them disappear with sad eyes. He knew to well that the fight that they would encounter wouldn't be simple and he feared for them. He transported himself to the crystal and stood there, watching his wife with longing eyes. "I wish you were with me now, Usako. I need you more than ever. Please if you listen to me, please come back to me. Your absence is killing me!" He wasn't sure if he was imaging it or not but he thought he could hear her whisper to him. "I'm always with you, Mamo-chan!" He watched her closely, but he couldn't find anything different. She lay as still as she always had and her eyes were still closed.

He sighed deeply before turning off his hologram and returning to his chamber to get some rest.

Back at the past, everyone returned safely outside The Hikawa Jinja. They carefully looked around to make sure no one were watching, before transforming and going inside to have a meeting.

"Well, our first priority is to figure out what Diamond's next move will be." Luna said as soon as all of them were gathered in the temple. "Any ideas?"

"The only thing I'm sure about is that it will concern me!" Usagi whispered with a scared voice. "He's obsessed with me! He will do whatever is necessary to achieve his goals."

"He has to be sick to be obsessed with you, Odango Atama." Rei muttered. She received a dirty look from Usagi as well as Mamoru. "Okay! Okay! I'm only kidding. Gesh, I'm only trying to lighten the mood a little. The tension in this room is so thick so you could touch it."

"Did anything happen when you where with him?" Jupiter asked with a concern gaze, cracking her knuckles. Everyone beside Mamoru watched Usagi with a concerned frown.

"No, I'm all right. Mamo-chan saved me before anything could happen. But if he gets the chance he will PERSUADE me to BE with him." She replied with a shudder. Everyone understood what she meant, beside Chibiusa, and that was what Usagi wanted. She never wanted to scare her daughter with he truth. She was too young for that.

"What do you mean mommy? What would he do? I don't understand?" Chibiusa said with a confused voice watching the adults curious.

"It's nothing for you to worry about honey." Mamoru said with a gentle voice. "I would never let anything happen to Usako. I will protect both of you, regardless of what I have to do!"

"Yes, we will all protect you. Not because it is our duty, but because we love you!" the Senshi promised.

"That's what I'm afraid of!" Usagi whispered sobbing. "I don't want to loose anyone because of me!"

"But don't you understand, Usagi. We would loose EVERYTHING if something happened to you." Rei said with a serious voice, before she smiled mischievously "No, I think I'll rephrase that: We will loose everything besides our food. Because if you're not around, the food wouldn't mysterious disappear." She was rewarded for her witty comment by pillows that knocked the breath out of her.

"What? Doesn't anyone have a sense of humour around here?" She asked her voice muffled under the pillows.

"NO! Let the fight begin!" Usagi said with an evil expression.

"What fight?" Rei asked tossing the pillows away from her.

"Pillow fight!" The others shouted before pillows started to fly in the air towards the startled Rei. Left out of the game were Luna and Artemis, watching their charges with sweat drops on their faces.

"The Earth is doomed" They sighed before leaving the temple in search for clues to Diamond's next move.

Back at the throne room Diamond sat with a flower in his hand. "What a strange custom!" He thought before starting to rip of the flower's petals while saying: "She loves me, she loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not…." He continued like this until only one petal remained: "She loves me not? What a dumb custom!" He said and tossed the flower on the floor. "I will make her love me! Love is something I can force her to feel!" He said with an evil laughter that Usagi would have been terrified of had she heard it.
