Disclaimer* Sailormoon does not belong to me. (My disclaimer
just keeps getting shorter and shorter.=]) I’m sooo sorry
for the delay. I apologize to all the people who actually
read my writing. Also, if you are one of the unfortunate
people who did not recieve an answer to an e-mail you have a
double apology. I don’t want to sound like I am just making
up excuses but my summer has been just hectic. So sorry
again and I hope I made for my lack of stories this week.

Before the scouts could react, three figures had
already surrounded them. But that wasn't the amazing part,
the amazing part was that they were also sailor scouts.
The one in the purple spoke first. "Are you the inner
scouts?"
Rei, pissed off at being surrounded answered angrily,
"What the hell are you talking about."
"Uranus hold your temper!" the Sailor Saturn warned her
blond haired companion. "This is Sailor Uranus, Sailor
Neptune, and I am Sailor Saturn. We have been sent by the
Princess to find all of you."
"When did you see Serenity?" Darien asked frantically.
Suspicious Uranus asked, "Who are you to ask about the
Princess? I don't remember there being a male scout."
"Please we must know if you have seen Serenity," Mina
implored.
"We will answer only if you prove to us you are the
scouts we seek," Neptune replied.
Not caring if the three were fakes anymore the scouts
and Tuxedo Mask transformed.
"So you are the scouts and also Cape Boy. This is
turning out to be a productive day."
"Shut up Uranus. And since you have held up your part
of the bargain we will fulfill ours," Neptune replied.
"It was in a dream that the Princess came to us. Have
you not located her whereabouts yet?" Saturn asked.
"You do not know?" Lita put in sadly.
"What don't we know?" Uranus getting impatient.
"Serenity died during the fight against Beryl. She won
but at the cost of her own life," Darien shedding tears at
the mention of his love.
"No, we were too late," Uranus cried angrily. Wanting
to punch something.
"That can't be, I still feel her," Saturn crying out.
"How can you sense her when the flames have shown me
nothing?"
"The princess and I share a bond since she was the one
that has awaken me."
Amy absorbing everything finally came out of her
silence. "Why weren’t you awaken with the rest of the
outers?"
"I am the Messiah of Death. I bring the destruction of
the universe and must only be awakened when this universe
has no other hope of winning against evil. But before she
woke me up she told me that my powers to bring the eternal
silence cannot be used so I can awake and help the others.
Plus, the Princess never believed the whole thing of me not
being able to control my powers. It was her faith in me to
help all of you that has led me here."
"Help against what?"
"Do you mean to tell us that you have not had the
dream?" Uranus asked.
"Well why else will we be asking? Can’t you just tell
us the dream since none of us has had it?" Rei asked trying
not to explode.
"Patience Mars. The dream just has the Princess
telling us that you five will need help against the upcoming
battle and we should expect another that will make us
successful," Neptune explained.
"When did you get this dream?" Artemis asked.
"About a week ago."
"How can this be? Serenity has been dead for a month
now," Mina getting desperate.
"She is not dead!" Saturn getting angry now.
"If she is not dead why won't she tell me where she
is!" Darien yelled and ran from the group.
"What's his problem?" asked a stunned Uranus.
"How much do you guys remember of the Silver
Millennium?" Rei asked sadly.
"We have recovered most of our memories," Saturn
answered quizzically.
"That was Endymoin," replied Rei while finding some
place to sit. She felt like a truck had just ran her over.
"Oh, that would explain everything. It's sad that the
prince and the princess seem to always get separated when
they find each other," Neptune shaking her head
sympathetically.
"I think we need to take a break. We'll just have
another meeting at seven," Rei announced, emotionally tired.
Darien ran until he reached the park he often visited,
especially when he needed to think. He sat down at the
bench overlooking the lake in the park, his favorite bench.
He couldn't understand why Serena would not want them to
know she was alive. He had felt from the beginning that she
was still alive but he had pushed it away, thinking it was
just wishful thinking on his part. But then Sailor Saturn
had confirmed his conclusions. She was alive. It hurt to
think that she would leave him in the dark about her
whereabouts especially since she knew what he felt for her.
'Maybe she doesn't want us to get hurt or maybe she is
being held captive,' thinking to himself. 'I'll find you
Meatball Head no matter what it takes or how long.'
In an apartment room near the park a portal opened and
a girl stepped out. Her silver hair flowed freely down to
her ankles. A lily on each side of her head held her hair
in place. Silver eyes surveyed her new home and a tear
slipped down her face.
'I wish I could tell them I am alive. Remember why you
are doing this, no matter what you can't let them know.'
After finding something to eat Selene (Serena) went
over her plan.
'I'll enroll in school tomorrow but tonight I should
find Luna. I hope she can keep quiet.'
"Rhea I need to talk to you," calling out.
Seconds later another portal opens and the guardian of
time walks out.
"What's up Sele?"
"Do you know where Luna will be tonight?"
"Umm, there's a slight problem Sele. The time gate
closed on me."
"What!"
"I contacted the rest of the guardians and they are
also in the same predicament. Looks like the future is so
unstable everywhere that all the gates have closed."
"What am I going to do? I need Luna," getting nervous.
"If it makes you feel better I can help. Since the
gates have closed I don't need to guard it. I am yours to
command my liege," giving her a deep bow.
"Stop, (giggle) that, this is important."
"In my opinion, everyone should be at Rei's."
"What makes you so sure?"
"That's easy, they are all confused over the sudden
appearance of the outers and the dream you gave them."
"Do you think that was wise? It might give them more
hope that I am alive."
"Whether it is right or not you needed to give the
outers that dream or they would never have sought out the
other scouts."
"I guess you are right but I don't like them all
together thinking I am alive. They'll pursue the truth and
I am afraid that they will find me. Not only that Saturn
has that link with my life force. She'll confirm Darien's
feeling that I am alive and she might be able to help the
other scouts find me," Serena was getting real nervous
again.
"Those factors couldn't be dealt with, you know that.
All we can do now is go with the plan and wish for the
best."
"I guess you are right. We should look for Luna."
"I think we should wait until the scout meeting is
over. Then we can abduct her without anyone noticing her
disappearance."
Rhea looked back at Serena when she didn't respond.
"What are you thinking about. You have that look on
your face which makes me nervous."
"I have an idea that will provide us with information
from the inside."
"Duh, we have Luna."
"Yeah but she'll be with the inners most of the time we
need someone with the outers," smiling broadly at her.
"Oh no, I don't want to do it Sele," whining.
"Yes you will. Plus you are Sailor Pluto, your place
is with the outers. This way you won't have any direct
connection with me and you'll be able to tell me the
situation with Saturn."
Sighing with defeat she agreed. "When should I make my
presence known?"
"Today at the scout meeting. You can lure Luna here by
convincing her that you have something important to show her
that no one else can know about."
"Fine. Where will you be?"
"I'll be at the meeting. You have to lie to them why
another presence is felt everytime there is a meeting."
"And what am I suppose to say miss know-it-all?"
"I don't know. Say that you have a ghost following
you, I don't care. You are suppose to help me here so stop
asking me what to do."
"Fine I'll tell them Casper is following me."
Exasperated at her friend Serena started to push her
out the door.
"We're going now and you better make sure they believe
you."
**********************************************************
End Notes* Totally confused now? Well so am I and I still
have to figure out where this story will reach its point. I
hope the plot is becoming more clear and if it isn’t be
nice, this is really the first time for me.
