All the characters you know aren't mine.. well I borrowed them for just a small while, and without permission. Any that are mine, I hope you like them.
Permission
AN: Here are the prequels
Bid for a normal life
The sound of absolute silence is what woke her up. It rang through the crystal surrounding her. Serenity had heard people talk of deafening silences before and never understood how silence could be loud. Now she did. Inside her crystal cage, old thoughts, old hopes, and half forgotten memories rebounded off the sides until it broke.
Serenity slid off the platform where she had lain so long. The sound of the crystal crunching under her feet echoed and was welcomed no matter how loud it sounded. Moving slowly, she stepped into the room where her four guardians stood, frozen in time. Serenity looked at them and then quickly swung around to see where she had come from. 'I failed! I failed to protect everybody. And now... And now...' She dropped her head into her hands for a brief moment. Pulling herself together, she wanted to run to everyone's defense, but she knew she couldn't. She gave into the urge to run, but she directed her steps towards the one place no one had stepped foot in for over two thousand years.
**********
Serenity's footsteps echoed softly though the Moon's prayer tower. Time had even stopped here. She hadn't thought that time could stop in this sanctified place. Turning, she looked back down on her home. 'If only I could be Sailor Moon again... Then I could save everyone.'
A sound, softer than a sigh, came from behind her. Serenity spun about quickly, and her eyes widened in surprise. "Guardian Moon..."
The Guardian's blue eyes meet Serenity's. Both them and her voice were hopeful. "Is it time? Am I needed again?"
Serenity closed her eyes against the knowledge that she was the one who had caused this. If she had only allowed Moon to meld with the princess, none of this would have occurred. 'Maybe I can correct it.. maybe..' Opening her eyes, she looked into the face that was the mirror image of her own. "Let me be Sailor Moon again. Help me protect and save my friends. Please." The last word was almost a sob.
Moon looked gently into her Queen's eyes. Her heart echoed the sorrow she saw there. "Can I for just a moment.. would it be so bad?' She knew the answer even as she asked herself the question. "No. You are the queen. You cannot be the senshi of a single star. Only your heir can become Sailor Moon."
Serenity's face crumpled as her hope was dashed away. Moon almost went to her to comfort her, but she knew her own resolve would fail. Serenity felt time start to speed up, and knew she had to grant permission that was long over due.
Moon asked her question again. "Is it time? Does the world need Sailor Moon again?"
Serenity nodded as she answered, her voice choked with tears. "Yes. Please go to her. She needs you now. More than anyone, she needs you."
A grateful smile shone on Guardian Moon's face. "Thank you."
Before Serenity's eyes, Moon's hair started darkening to a soft pink, and her eyes were tinted with the same color. "I'm sorry to keep you from her for so long. I really thought it was for the best."
Moon lifted a gloved finger to her lips. Her darkening eyes were soft and forgiving as she gave Serenity a small comforting hug. Through that hug, through their hearts connections, they both knew all was forgiven.
Wiping the tears from her eyes, Serenity gestured to Earth. "You should hurry. She has been waiting for a very long time." As she watched, the adult version of her daughter flew towards the planet, becoming younger the further she went.
