all coming back to me

[ledbytheheart]

I remember it all now, the past. It hurt so much to see her face, but we need to know. The enemies from back then came here too, and we're fighting them now. We need to know what we're up against. And it's high time someone paid them back with our full force, in my opinion. Those crimes aren't going unpunished!

So don't you dare try to stop me. It's perfectly reasonable to go after them. They already killed her all those years ago, isn't that enough? Think hard. You know they won't show mercy. Neither will we. I'll fight to the end to protect the Earth---our new home---from everyone who would hurt it.

No, it's not just revenge I want. There's more to it than that. If it needs a name, go ahead and call it royal duty.

Minako... such talk... what has happened?

[ledbytheheart]

[She bites down a gasp, but the surprise is clear on her face.]

You look so familiar. I thought you might know already.

[moonlit_star]

I'm afraid I don't know. Minako... tell me, please.

[ledbytheheart]

Do you know about the past Moon Kingdom ruled by Queen Serenity?

You look like you might belong to that family. And if you don't, you probably think I'm a lunatic. That's nothing new!

A friend I loved was there, the princess. She died, and I've had to serve in her place.

[moonlit_star]

I should think so, I am the daughter of Selene, do you not recognize me, even in my old age, Venus?

I am afraid I am not the same as your princess, however.

[ledbytheheart]

I...I do.

[She falls to one knee and bows her head.]

Even now, the feeling's the same. I'm sorry. It's not enough, it never is. I know.

[moonlit_star]

[She goes over to her and lifts Minako's chin.] None of that now.

Tell me all that has happened.

[moonybunnyboy]

[How would the other guys handle this?]

I'm sorry...

[ledbytheheart]

[There's something vaguely familiar about him. She approaches tentatively.]

No, it's all right. You weren't involved---it's nothing that should worry you. The past is the past, right? We have the present to worry about!

[moonybunnyboy]

I agree but...I'm still sure your princess would say the same as me, Minako-chan.

Don't let revenge cloud your judgement, and prevent you from any good things okay?

You are Justice, but you are Love. Okay?

[ledbytheheart]

The princess, the same as you?

Are you some kind of prince? [He doesn't remind her of Endymion. Someone else.]

[moonybunnyboy]

Has your mun told you yet? This place isn't just big meeting place for worlds. It goes the same for universes as well. In my world, boys are girls, and girls are boys.

[He hums, trying to figure out how to explain this.] So that means the Sailor senshi are boys.

I'm one of them. I'm Sailor Moon.

[distant_starlight]

Minako-chan?

[ledbytheheart]

I'm sorry, I don't think I know you. [But that doesn't mean she isn't interested. Hello, cutie.]

When did we meet?

[distant_starlight]

Have we not met? Forgive me, I thought we had. [He narrowed his eyes. The girl next to Usagi when she saw a concert of theirs.]

I'm Yaten-kou of the Starlights.

[ledbytheheart]

The Starlights. What a great name! Are you an idol group?

[distant_starlight]

Yes, we are. Seiya is our leader. Haven't you seen any of our concerts?

[ledbytheheart]

I haven't! But I really should. You probably sound amazing.

Right?

[distant_starlight]

You should come to one of our concerts, Minako. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

[lead_shitennou]

Look who it is.

[ledbytheheart]

I can say the same about you. Haven't had enough blood for your taste?

[lead_shitennou]

Blood? You make me out to be some kind of monster. You wound me.

[ledbytheheart]

Not yet, but I just might.

[In the AU she comes from, Kunzite took out Serenity to keep the forbidden lovers problem from reaching its disastrous conclusion.]

[lead_shitennou]

I am no monster. Just ask Zoisite. [He smirked. That man thought the world of him.]
