Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chibiusa sat there looking at her locket for a good while before she heard a knocking sound. Lost in thought, she looked up and seen Seiya.

Chibiusa snapped her locket shut as she watched him approach her. he said, sitting on the bed beside her.

The pink-haired girl gave a nod, hearing him out.

Chibiusa's eyes widened, gripping her locket tightly with her hand.



"They... know?" Seeing Seiya put something next to her hand as if he were showing her something. Her eyes shifted to the object as she thought. "Whats that?"
When he showed her his communicator, she whispered "That's a communicator..." she then looked at him and asked "So... you're three are idols as well as Sailor Senshi too?" looking back at her locket, then at his Star Change, she spoke up again. "I... had a feeling that you might of been, nothing surprises me anymore." she commented, her tone sounded a little defeated.


"Your Princess? Who is she? ....if you were singing for your Princess back then, who are you singing for now?" Chibiusa questioned, she was quite smart and wondered why they have started to sing again.


Looking back at her locket, Chibiusa spoke "Usagi... she's in danger... my Mama... she's..." Chibiusa's eyes welled up a little as she continued to talk quietly."Gomen...I-I can't say much... I-I have to talk to Usagi first..."



Gathering her emotions, she knew she had to be brave and save her tears for when she actually saw Usagi. Giving Seiya a nod, she managed a smile. "Y-Yes, I have the key." placing her locket back on her bow, then got off the bed.



Chibiusa felt somewhat better in the sense she felt she was overthinking how they were acting prior to Seiya coming in. Noticing how Yaten was before she headed up the stairs made her wonder what he was trying to tell them.

Usagi blushed a little, glancing back at them for a moment, then back at Rin. "Ano ne.... that's some of my friends. Haruka-san and Michiru-san really are gorgeous people, inside and out... they are very protective and caring. I'm very lucky." Usagi took another glance back but only saw Michiru by herself now, not really thinking much of it, she turned back to Rin and gave her usual cheerful smile.
At this point, Haruka had taken a very important call from another friend, leaving Michiru to keep an eye on Usagi.
While Usagi stared at Rin, she suddenly started to feel a bit tired, yawning, then rubbing her eyes. " Mm, Gomen ne, I'm a bit tired." she commented, not really thinking much of it.

Finally, the waitress came over and asked "Hello, can I take your order?" "Ah! Yes! Can I please have two soda pops? Annnnnd I'll get the usual! Uhh...maybe come back for Rin-chans order? there's a lot to choose from." the waitress gave a smile and a nod. "I'll be back with your drinks, Tsukino-san."
The staff knew Usagi, and what her usual food choice was. Yawning again, Usagi had to think for a moment as her thoughts came and went from feeling a bit drained. What seemed like seconds to Usagi was actually minutes, and the waitress made her way back.
"...Rin-chan? Since you moved here... where did you move from? Did you have friends there?" Usagi tilted her head and questioned her new friend.



"Here are your drinks." the waitress passed both drinks towards Usagi. "Thank you!"
Smiling, Usagi passed Rin one of the drinks and added "Try this! It's really yummy! Ah! Gomen! I didn't even ask if you liked sweet drinks! whoops!"

Usagi reached down into her suitcase and took out a pen and paper, writing her full name and number, drawing a little bunny beside the last digit.
"Before I forget! Rin-chan, here's my number! If you ever get lonely and want to hang out or even just to talk, please think of me, and call me." Usagi smiled sweetly at her new friend, as she slid the bit of paper over to Rin's side of the table.




"I feel really tired..." she thought to herself, getting distracted easily. Usagi's eyes couldn't help but travel down at Rin's bag as she went to put her pen away in her suitcase. Since the bag was open, Usagi saw a magazine that rested on the top that captured her attention. Reaching down, she picked it up and placed it on the table and began to flick through it.
"Wow! I didn't realize they had been in so many interviews and photos already! where did they get the time to do this?" Usagi was really proud of her friends, and that they have accomplished so much in such a short time. Usagi's excitement was short-lived, and the emotional weight started to bare down on her.



Flicking through the pages, Usagi's demeanor changed to sadness, thinking about last night and this morning's confrontation with them, she thought to herself. "Gomen minna... last night was no exception... I don't blame you if you're all mad at me. Maybe I should go home after this, and apologize to them. I feel bad just leaving them at my house... they all have such busy lives, and I don't blame them if they aren't there when I get home either. And then... there's Mamo-chan... I have to tell him the truth..."
Staring at Seiya's image in the magazine, Usagi kept thinking about the things she needed to do, knowing that it was going to be painful.

Hotaru nodded. "Yes something in silhouette behind the youma sucked it up into something after we did a lot of damage to it once we had it cornered. We never fully destroyed it. It is highly possible it could return."
As Luna looked around. "I agree. It's unclear if she was the target or not but she was first on the scene from what we were told. After Star Healer saved her and once I saw Star Fighter was with her on the rooftop and then took her to safety it never tried to go after her even after I had joined the battle. After seeing the vision yesterday morning it is clear the enemy is after the Silver Crystal and 3 Talismans. The enemy most likely is looking for Sailor Moon/Princess Serenity but not knowing she is Usagi it keeps her safe for the time being do to them not knowing the location of the Silver Crystal and Chibiusa-chan is safe in Crystal Tokyo with her Silver Crystal and Pink Moon Crystal. As for the talismans appearing in the vision is the enemy trying to summon me to bring destruction to the Earth or possibly the Holy Grail? It always seems to be the main goal of the enemies we have encountered to bring destruction to the Earth. The Holy Grail can also bring this destruction as well since the Holy Grail is a powerful item as well." She stated.

Putting his Star Change back into his pocket, Seiya waited for Chibiusa to walk past him before he followed her, watching her he thought to himself "Same presence...just like Odango..."
Also feeling a bit better, he walked down the stairs and smiled at Yaten and Taiki. "I think we have a better understanding of each other now." hinting that everything was out in the open, and it was okay to speak freely.

Seiya opened the front door and waited until the three exited, then closed the door, slipping on his sunglasses for his usual disguise. Chibiusa locked up and now they all headed to the cafe on foot. It wasn't that far away and the weather was nice enough.
Walking past the arcade, Seiya kept thinking to himself "So... Odango was in here for a good while? I should check it out myself." the media store was next, noticing Chibiusa pointing at one of their albums in awe, The idol patted her head and pretended to look disinterested.
Seiya couldn't help but smile at her, Chibiusa matched Usagi's excitement and even though Usagi seemed a bit distant, Chibiusa was making up for it on her behalf.

As they approached the cafe, Seiya opened the door for Chibiusa, then spotted Usagi like a main character in a crowd. She stood out.
Approaching the table the two sat at, Seiya couldn't hold back his frustration towards Usagi.
"OI ODANGO!" he said in a loud voice, not caring if he embarrassed anyone in the process. "You didn't tell me you had a sister!" catching her out, his annoyed expression changed.
Noticing she was still holding the magazine of Rin's, he then glanced down at the bag that rested by her suitcase full of three lights merchandise.
"Geez... Odango, I didn't realize you were obsessed." he muttered quietly to her. His gaze then shifted as he happened to notice Rin sitting opposite her.
Seiya got the exact same vibe from Rin as Haruka did, his stare was like daggers behind his sunglasses.




"That girl..." getting a really nasty feeling about her, he was about to speak up until Chibiusa pushed past him and went to Usagi.
Seiya suddenly felt out of place, stepping back he couldn't help but feel that this moment was a special one. Watching Usagi and Chibiusa, he couldn't help but get the feeling there was more to their relationship than what Chibiusa had told them.
Walking backwards a few steps then turning around to face his bandmates, he spoke to Yaten and Taiki quietly. "...Let's go...give them some time. We'll meet them outside..."
Haruka happened to turn around from her seat and watch all this unfold, between the two, they exchanged stares as if they had a mutual understanding of what to do next. Walking out of the cafe, Seiya's tone seemed as if he was bothered. Taking the lead, Seiya went around the back of the building, and there was a large tree that was right beside the cafe, no one in sight which meant he could at least transform, knowing the other two would naturally follow him. Taking his Star Change from his pocket, he didn't waste any time transforming.

"Fighter Star Power... Make up!"

Star Fighter waited for the others to come out of the cafe, as she stood along beside both Healer and Maker like they usually would, hiding away until the others came out, then they would join them to talk.
"We're coming out now." Haruka said quietly, speaking through the headsets of the Three Starlights.

Yaten was waiting downstairs patiently with Taiki, wondering what all was going to be discussed. When Seiya went upstairs to chat with Chibiusa, he took the time to grab something to eat on the table before it got cold. Yaten couldn't help but wonder what was this vision? Would he ever get a glimpse as to what the two of them saw? Or would this remain a mystery until the right opportunity came up.

Hearing movement, Yaten looked up and over towards the stairwell. Noticing that both Seiya and Chibiusa were descending to the foyer and appeared to be on good terms. "I think we have a better understanding of each other now." Yaten stood motionless for a moment, as he looked between the two as Seiya smiled. For now, he would have to take Seiya's word that everything was right as rain. Removing his white shades from his coat pocket, he stepped outside of the Tsukino residence waiting for their adventure to begin.

Passing by several places enroute to the cafe, Yaten made sure to give Seiya and Chibiusa space. Not wanting to overcrowd them as they walked side by side. Seeing how Chibiusa reacted to the Three Lights signage, he could sworn for a moment that he saw Usagi when Chibiusa smiled. Sister... There's no way that Chibiusa was Usagi's sister.

The darkness of Yaten's shades blocked the reflection of light cast off of his green eyes as they glazed over in a memory. Recalling when he departed the bathroom, heading down the hall to the guest bedroom. He noticed that a family portrait was hanging at eye level along the wall and it caught Yaten's attention.

At the time that he noticed it, the image showed a happy family. A mother and father displaying the love of their children a son and daughter. Son and Daughter. . .! Yaten stopped walking as the photo he had seen of the Tsukino family, showed only two siblings not three! His mouth fell slightly agape, realizing that when Chibiusa said that Usagi was her sister, that was a lie.

Feeling Taiki slightly nudge his shoulder as he made sure to close his mouth. The look Taiki gave him, made Yaten only provide a 'nevermind' expression as he shook his head. Grateful that his shades hid a frown that appeared, he kept walking until they stopped at the entry to the cafe. Watching Seiya open the door for Chibiusa as they followed in tow, it wasn't long until Usagi was spotted from where they stood. It was how Seiya called out to Usagi that caught Yaten by surprise.

"OI ODANGO!"
"You didn't tell me you had a sister!"

Glancing over towards the general direction of where Seiya called out towards. Yaten noticed someone else was present beside Usagi. Someone sitting very closely to Usagi. Causing Yaten's body language to tense up as he eyed the girl from behind the darkness of his shades. Jealousy? Not at all. There was just something about this person that did not sit right with him. The vibe he got off of Seiya spoke volumes. Glad they were on the same page. He was certain that Taiki felt something similar.

"USAGI!!!!!"

Before any words were exchanged, the sudden burst of a double pink pigtailed hairstyle darted past them running in a bee line straight for Usagi. The heart breaking, teary-eyed emotion that erupted forth from Chibiusa could not only be heard but felt on a number of levels. Anyone present there could tell that.

"...Let's go...give them some time. We'll meet them outside..."

Yaten's throat felt tight as he watched the display unravel before them. Hearing Seiya suggest to give them private time, Yaten nodded, acknowledging Seiya's wishes. Not before shifting his gaze away from Chibiusa and Usagi, past the unknown girl beside them and on over towards Haruka and Michiru. His expression was unreadable but it was apparent that he was going to follow his leader's departure without a word. Upon exiting the cafe, Yaten's fingertips idly held onto the door's handle briely hearing Chibiusa's sobs echoing throughout the cafe. Feeling the depth of Chibiusa's sadness behind those tears were legit, not fake, moved him to his core. Releasing the door handle, Yaten disappeared from sight.

As soon as he and Taiki rounded to the back of the cafe, seeing that not one soul was present they heard.

"Fighter Star Power... Make up!"

It was only natural to follow in turn. Reaching into his coat pocket, Yaten pulled out his Star Change and called out, "Healer Star Power - Make Up!"


Star Healer thought to herself, '...this feels different somehow.' Joining Star Fighter in the tree. As she waited beside Seiya watching Taiki soon follow in transforming. Setting her gloved hands down to rest along her waistline. Her gaze seemed distant as she stared towards the alleyway. It was when she heard on her headset, "We're coming out now." that Star Healer was no longer distant as she might of appeared after transforming.

Noticing movement, Healer's shoulders pulled back somewhat only to relax slightly seeing Usagi and Chibiusa emerge. Chibiusa was still crying. Trying her best to remain neutral in listening to what message Chibiusa was trying to relay to Usagi was almost too painful to bear.

"Chibiusa? Chibiusa, please tell me what's going on?"
"It's... Mama...Mama... she's..."
"Mama... SHE'S GONE! She disappeared in front of me! I couldn't find Papa... I didn't know what to do... I-I came here! I thought you might have disappeared too! I'm scared Usagi, I'm scared!"

The rest of the conversation was quieter than before, which made it difficult to hear what all was being discussed. It was their time. Their time to speak to one another. Not time for anyone to intervene. It wasn't until Usagi glanced their way that Chibiusa did the same. Star Healer's eyes were focused in on the two of them, they literally could be twins. Their expressions, in how they spoke towards one another and responded was in sync with one another. A carbon copy.

"Chibiusa, you can introduce yourself to them now, you can tell them who you are, it's okay, you can trust them. I promise."


An audible gasp came forth from Star Healer the moment Usagi told Chibiusa that it was alright to introduce herself to them. 'Is that... who Seiya and Taiki saw?' Caught in a vision of Neo Queen Serenity smiling in a motherly manner towards Chibiusa then. "Neo Queen Serenity?" Star Healer said breathlessly. Staring at her in awe, not knowing if she needed to stop gawking and bow. She soon received her answer, as Chibiusa approached the three of them differently than how she did before. Curtsying like a princess would, "I am Princess Small Lady Serenity, Neo Queen Serenity and King Endymion's daughter, Usagi and Mamo-chan's future daughter, and lastly Super Sailor Chibi Moon. It's an honor to meet you, Sailor Starlights."

Watching the proud display shift towards sorrow while asking for forgiveness. "G-Gomen... I... didn't tell you the truth... please forgive me." Star Healer's eyes became damp with unshed tears. Moved by the sincerity in Chibiusa's voice, feeling the pull along those internal heart strings of hers. Just like Usagi had done the other night. How could anyone ignore Chibiusa's sincere apology. Star Healer broke away from standing with Star Fighter and Star Maker, leaping down from the tree and onto the the ground. Standing upright, she moved forwards, only to kneel down towards the ground towards Chibiusa. Greeting her in respect as she would in meeting royalty. As well as to speak towards her at her level. "The honor is ours, Princess Small Lady Serenity." Providing her a genuine, quiet reassuring smile in response, "And we understand now, why you did.. what you did to protect yourself."



Holding onto that shared eye contact that they had then, Star Healer spoke with admiration towards the young princess before her. "You are very brave to travel alone in order to find Usagi-chan. I'm sure the journey you took was not only hard but difficult and yet you succeeded. Princess, you are not alone." Providing the small shaking of her head side to side, admiring the strength she saw in Chibiusa. She glowed. Just like Usagi. "I vow to protect you, with all that I am. This I swear." Bowing her head down in the upmost respect.

As they headed to the cafe, Seiya opened the door for Chibiusa, letting her in. Seiya couldn't help himself but yell at Usagi, getting her attention. Sighing, Taiki facepalmed, then noticed Haruka and Michiru watching from the other side of the cafe.
Hearing the sobs coming from Chibiusa who stood next to both Yaten and himself, Taiki felt quite sad for her and wondered why she hesitated to move.

Finally, Chibiusa ran and cried out, giving Usagi a hug. "That poor girl..." he muttered to Yaten, then saw Seiya return back towards the two of them.

Seiya said, his tone wasn't happy at all, and sounded defeated.
As the three walked outside and went around the back of the building. It was safe enough that they could transform.

Seiya wasted no time and instantly began his transformation. "Seiya's upset..." Taiki thought and watched Yaten follow his lead and started as well.

"Maker Star Power... Make Up!"




Landing herself in the tree also, they made sure they were out of sight. Haruka said through the headset.

Seconds later, Usagi came out with Chibiusa, The Starlights didn't move just yet, but Usagi had seemed to notice them pretty quickly.



Wondering what Chibiusa was talking about, and how upset she was, Usagi tried to calm her down and speak to her gently then pointed out the three, and which caught Chibiusa's attention, then she came over and introduced herself.
Star Makers expression changed from sincere to shocked, hearing that she was the daughter of Usagi and Mamoru.
"That's... why I saw that vision." thinking back to seeing Usagi leaning over Seiya while he was asleep.
Instantly, Star Healer was drawn to the small princess's light, and felt it was now okay to express that.
Looking at Star Fighter, she seemed to be observing the situation. "Leader...?" Maker said, trying to get her attention. "Shall we?" giving Fighter a gentle smile before jumping down.



At this point, Star Healer knelt down in front of Chibiusa. Walking up beside Star Healer, she spoke after her.
"Please don't apologize." Star Maker said, following suit of Star Healer and knelt down to match her level. "You were protecting yourself, I'd hate to think how it got to that point in the first place. You must have had so many hardships when it comes to trusting people, and we too, are sorry for not being honest about ourselves. It must be a bit of a shock to you, and we are very sorry for that, Princess."
Noticing Chibiusa was about to cry again, Star Maker could sense the pain Chibiusa was enduring by herself, Star Healer seemed better at words than herself, so hopefully, Healer could speak up again.

After Chibiusa had said she was sorry for lying, Chibiusa watched Star Healer approach her and then got a bit surprised by her kneeling down and speaking to her in such a formal manner.



Noticing how pretty she was being even closer, Chibiusa couldn't help but blush a little as she thought to herself. "Shes really pretty... I'm jealous..." thinking back to wanting to be a lady, which was her dream. Not meaning to stare at Healer for as long as she did, the two kept a gaze at each other as Healer spoke to her, noticing Healers pretty piercing green eyes.



Star Maker came up beside Star Healer and knelt down too, before Chibiusa could answer back to Healer, she was still a bit starstruck by how pretty The Starlights really were.





Trying to fathom some words up, Chibiusa tried to shake off the shock from her expression. "... I-I didn't expect such respect... please, stand up, you don't need to speak to me so formally..." Unsure how to act towards them, she took a step closer to them and gave a shy smile. "I don't want you to see me as a Princess, I just would like to be your friends. If anything... I should be the one formally speaking to you both! I mean... you are Idols and Senshi, that's more admirable than being a Princess in my eyes."



Thinking about what she just said to them, Chibiusa looked down sadly and thought to herself. "That must be really lonely for them too...living two lives like that... it's one extreme to another...there's no break..." the more she thought about it, the more it made her eyes well up again.



She was silent for a moment then looked back at them, something came across her mind that she didn't realize before. "You're... Sailor Senshi now... why?" Noticing there were no youmas around, and no alarming situation that she knew of, she didn't seem to notice that Usagi was putting on an act in front of her, not wanting to make Chibiusa worry any more than she already has.
Overhearing Haruka mentioning a familiar name, it sparked Chibiusa's attention which caused her to look in that direction.

"Hotaru-chan?! Where?! Why is Hotaru-chan in the city? Can I go see her?" she asked Haruka, then looked back at Star Maker and Star Healer, looking to them for the answers too, unaware of the ruins.
Chibiusa's body language started to hint she was going to take off after Hotaru and find her, looking a bit unsettled, worry was the only expression she had.

Michiru spoke to Chibiusa. "Hotaru is downtown because she needed some more supplies for some jewelry she was making. She will only be gone for another hour maybe. If you like I can text her and we can all have lunch together somewhere. While we have lunch we can discuss you staying the night with us for a few nights if you would like to. I'm sure you and Hotaru have a lot of catching up to do." She suggested to her with a smile hoping that would keep her away from the downtown area as well.
She thought to herself. 'It's not a total lie since Hotaru did say she did need some supplies for the bracelet she was making Usagi-chan. But right now she is more than likely still looking for clues at the site of the attack.'
