"Will I Ever See You Again?" (Part 3)
By GAngel

Inside the Black Moon Palace. Usagi, now in her princess gown, was being dragged to a room by one of the guards.

"Let me go!!!" Usagi screamed.

"Not a chance." The guard whispers loud enough for her to hear. "After the prince is through with you, you won't want to leave." He laughs at her as he throws her in the room and locks the door.

Usagi starts crying. "Oh Mamo-chan. Where are you?"

She runs to the bed and cried herself to sleep.

**********

Hours later, Usagi wakes up to find the sun had already set. Her eyes gazed down to the end of the room to a table, covered with a red silk sheet . Two candles burned in the middle of the table, the only light in the room. A hand slowly reaches out for her. Usagi felt a hand rest on her shoulder. She turns around and screams. The hand disappears back into the shadow.

"Please, don't be afraid of me." A voice replies.

Usagi looks around, and sees no one. "W-w-who are you?" Her voice trembles.

"I'm the ruler of this palace. I am Prince Dimando."

He steps in front of her, where she can see him clearly. She gasps.

"Don't you like how I look? It doesn't matter now. You'll change your mind when we're married." He sits next to her.

Now Usagi wasn't afraid. She was angry. "Who does this nut thing he is?" "I'll never marry you. NEVER!!! You hear me. I love Mamo-chan."

Dimando slowly reaches up and touched Usagi's odango's. She tries to move away, but only reached the wall. "He's just a silly mortal. Why not love someone who has as much power as you?"

"Never!" Usagi screams.

"I should've left you with Rubius. Then, probably you'll be dead by now." He moves closer to Usagi until his cheek brushed against hers. "But since I love you that much, you're with me instead and Rubius is dead."

"How can you say you love me, when I don't even know you. I've never seen you in my life."

"Of course you haven't. I come from the future. Since I couldn't have your future self love me, I should at least get you to take her place." He smiles down at her. "Now rest, tomorrow we have a wedding to go to." He grabs Usagi's left hand and places a gold diamond engagement ring on her ring finger. "Try to escape, and this ring will activate a charge that will slowly drain your energy. If you're smart enough, you'll just live with it and stay. Your choice." He gets up and kisses Usagi on the cheek. He suddenly disappears.

"No!" "Mamo-chan where are you?"

**********

Ami, Artemis, Luna, Makoto, Minako and Rei were in the fire room sitting down, while Chibi Usa and Mamoru were outside talking.

"So, how are we going to get Usagi back from Rubius? He might kill her before we have the chance to get her back." Minako replies worriedly.

"If he tries anything, I'm going to make sure I'll be there to stop him." Makoto answers, hitting the floor with her fist.

"Please, Mako-chan, don't try to break anymore of my things." Rei scolds.

**********

Outside, out by the porch. Chibi Usa is sitting on Mamoru's lap.

"So, Chibi Usa....What is it like in Crystal Tokyo?" Mamoru asks.

"Well, I can't really tell that much about it, but....It's very beautiful....Our kingdom is mostly made of crystal and...."

As Chibi Usa describes Crystal Tokyo, Mamoru remembers the times when he dreamt of that place, where he sees Usagi dying. Then he feels someone call out to him.

"Usako." Mamoru blurts out to no one particular.

"Papa?" Chibi Usa looks at Mamoru.

"Yes?" Mamoru looks at Chibi Usa.

"Were you thinking of mama?"

"Yes, Chibi Usa, I thought I heard her calling to me just now." Mamoru replies.

"What did she say?"

"She said, 'Mamo-chan where are you?' It's like she's trying to call me, Chibi Usa."

"You can call me Small Lady now....That's what you and mommy call me."

"Okay, Small Lady." Mamoru smiles. "You looks so much like your mother. I can't believe I didn't recognize it, till now."

Rei walks out and sits next to them.

"Are you guys okay? She asks.

"We're fine." Mamoru replies.

Minako, Makoto, Ami, Artemis and Luna walk outside.

"We still don't have any clues." Artemis replies.

"Well, we just can't give up on her, Artemis." Makoto answers. "She never gave up on us before."

All of a sudden, right in front of them, a bright green flash appears. Now standing before them, is another girl, dressed in the same sailor fuku. Everyone, except for Chibi Usa gasps.

"Puu!!" Chibi Usa replies. She runs up to Sailor Puu and gives her a big hug.

"Hello Small Lady." Sailor Pluto replies.

"I missed you so much!" Chibi Usa replies.

"I missed you too." Sailor Pluto looks up and sees Mamoru. "My future king."

"Puu, can I go home now? I finally found out who my parents are. And I know who has the crystal." Chibi Usa gives Sailor Pluto a pleading eyes.

Chibi Usa looks down as she walks back to Mamoru. "It's okay Puu. I understand."

"Wait a minute. Who are you?" Rei asks, stepping a little closer to the stranger.

"Rei, she's not going to hurt you. This is Puu, my friend." Chibi Usa looks at Rei, then at Sailor Pluto. "But in the future, you guys call her Sailor Pluto or Meiou Setsuna." Chibi Usa smiles.

"Sailor Pluto!" Answers a bewildered Luna.

"Hello Luna. Long time no see." She smiles at the shocked cat.

"What brings you here, Sailor Pluto?"

"Something's wrong with the timeline, Luna. Everything has been changed. What happened to Usagi?"

"She was kidnapped Puu. By Rubius and those sisters." Chibi Usa whispers loud enough for only them to hear.

"What's happening in the future Setsuna?" Luna asks very worried. She looks at Mamoru with a very worried and sad look. "You must find Usagi and get her away from whoever she is with now. If we lose any more time, soon she'll no longer be the friendly, cheerful girl who you all love so much. She'll become one of the Dark Moon Family."

"But, how?" Luna asks.

"The time will come very soon. Be prepared." In a bright flash of light, Sailor Pluto (Meiou Setsuna) was gone.
