     Utopia's Rising

     Moshi could feel herself falling.  You know that feeling you get 
when you're sleeping and you jerk suddenly, waking up?  Well, Moshi 
jerked as hard as she could, but she continued to fall.  She opened her 
eyes, only to see nothing. It was pitch black.
 
     Total darkness... 

     Infinite space.  

     "Oh Kami-sama, am I going to jigoku?!" she yelled, trying to right 
herself up.  Faintly, she could see streaks of blue in the darkness that
surrounded her. Faster and faster, the darkness turned into a deep blue, 
into a pale blue and then into a white.

     With a loud crash, she slammed into the ground, knocking her
unconscious.  What could have been seconds, or hours later, she
finally came to.

     "Ah, you're awake!" a voice said in her ear, causing Moshi to
look around, trying to focus.  Once zeroing in on the voice, she
reared back in shock.  It was herself!  Not really herself at
that moment in time, but the Takanera Moshi that wore the small
pink fuku from Yakomoto Jr. High.

     "M-Me," Moshi stammered, staring hard at the small girl.

     "Yeah me," she responded, patting one of her odangos back into
shape.  "You kind of landed on me there." She stood up and stretched
her small arms out.

     "Where are we?" Moshi asked, standing up, stretching her now
long legs.  She noticed in disgust that the knees of her jeans
had large holes.

     The smaller Moshi looked up at the tall one. "You should know!
After all, one should know when they're in their own mind."

     That explained the large garden, with butterflies and birds.
"My mind.." she whispered, taking in the grand view.  She wanted 
to sit in the garden forever, taking care of each precious flower.  
Turning left, she noticed a large billboard in the middle of the 
field.  Decorating the billboard was a picture of Hoshi surrounded 
with neon lights.  She blushed slightly.

     Small Moshi grinned. "Yeah, he does tend to dominate here,"
she chuckled, brushing her pink skirt.  "There's others
but not just as big."

     Faraway on her right there was a dark cloud hovering over part
of the field.  Flashes of light sparked randomly.  Moshi pointed in 
that direction and asked Yakomoto Moshi. "Are?"

     "That over there?" she started, narrowing her violet eyes. "That's 
where Sailor Earth and Sailor Earth are battling. They're training, in 
preparations of fighting Mosite."

     Moshi blinked. "What the heck did you just say?"

     She sighed. "Boy, we have a lot of talking to do.  What I just said
is exactly what's happening.  Sailor Earth, the senshi of Earth Planet 
Power, is fighting Sailor Earth, the senshi of Earth Star Power.  Get 
it?" She then muttered something unintelligent under her breath.

     "OK I got it, no need to get vulgar about it.  Ru-chan was right, 
we do have a foul mouth." Moshi said glowering at her former self.

     Together silent, they walked through the fields, taking care not 
to smash the flowers.  The closer they reached the dark cloud, the 
more energy she could feel coursing through her body.  Once they 
reached the cloud, it gladly swallowed them whole, pulling them into 
the fold.  This part of the field was as dark and as dismal as the empty
space she fell through at first.

     "Life Force!" Sailor Planet Earth screamed, hurling the
arc of energy at the senshi in purple and yellow.

     "Kuso!" Sailor Star Earth cursed as she nimbly ducked out of the 
path of the arc, which nearly sliced her back bow. "Alright, planet 
freak.  Cosmic...Lightning!!!"  She hurled the large bolt of lightning 
at the shocked senshi decked in brown and yellow.  Planet Earth scrambled 
out of the way, her dark ponytails floating above her head like dark 
ribbons.

     She jumped back to her feet, digging the heel of her brown boot
in the ground.  Reaching up she removed one of the hair jewels, that 
decorated her odangos.  With cat like skill, she flung the disc at 
the other senshi, cutting her cheek.

     Star Earth grabbed the disc after it cut her cheek, the golden edge 
stained with her blood. "You think this is cute?" she griped, flinging 
the disc back.

     "Kawaii or not, I still drew blood.  I win!" Planet Earth crowed,
dancing around flexing her arms.

     "You cheating bastard! I'll tell CyberEarth on you!" Star Earth
cried, balling her hands into fists.

     Planet Earth snorted, folding her arms across her chest. "What
is that metal freak going to do?!"

     "This metal freak will kick your butt, if you don't play fair!"
CyberEarth snarled, appearing from a dark corner of the cloud.

     Planet Earth shrank back. "I was only joking about the metal
freak part!" She started to whine which made Moshi wince, she 
hadn't whined in so long.

     "Ha!" Star Earth chuckled, "See if you can whine your way out
of this one!"

     "Shut up!" Planet Earth growled, narrowing her violet eyes at
her evolved self. "I'm tired of you guys picking on me just because 
I have the 'least' power." She drew herself up to her full height, 
which wasn't much considering at that time Moshi was still short. 
"You've forgotten, I still retain powers from when I was leader of 
the Sailor Elementals!"

     Star Earth widened her eyes in mock awe. "Ooh, the leader
of the elementals is going to shock me with her quakes!"

     "That's it!" she frowned, her violet eyes flashing. Placing her
arms on her hips, she stomped the ground hard and yelled. "Rock and 
Roll!!"  A large crack formed in the ground and swarmed its way 
towards Star Earth who leaped out of the way.

     Moshi stepped between the feuding senshi. "Alright, what the hell 
is going on here?!" She glared at each Senshi, who were frozen to the spot. 

     Yakomoto Moshi frowned. "I already told you.."

     "Shaddup!" Moshi snapped. "If you're suppose to be preparing for 
battle, fighting each other isn't going to be the key to defeating her!" 
She pointed at the dark  castle high up on a mountain in the backdrop.

     "It's about time, someone with some sense said something," a new 
voice said, coming from everyone's back.  Sailor Utopia appeared from 
the darkest corner, her white fuku almost luminescent, with purple and 
yellow slashes.  At her side was a scabbard holding a sword.  On each 
wrist was a bracer of gold.

     Moshi turned at looked at Sailor Utopia, who grinned in returned.  
She stepped forward and placed a hand on the senshi's cheek. "Is this 
who I am to become?"

     Utopia nodded. "Soon, soon.." She raised her hand and covered Moshi's 
with her own.

     Moshi leaned over and whispered in her ear. "You seem to be the 
one with the most sense here, what exactly is going on?"

     Utopia winked and whispered back. "They're fighting to decide who 
fights Mosite.  I told the little brats that it would take all our 
efforts together, to fight Mosite."

     Moshi nodded, her ponytail bouncing from the movement. "What can 
we do?" she questioned, placing a hand on Utopia's shoulder

     Utopia glanced at Moshi. Sighing she placed her hands on her
narrow hips and stared at the castle. "First things first, we have 
to get the troop here under control.  That's where CyberEarth came 
in, at least she kept Planet Earth and Star Earth from killing one 
another."

     Moshi nodded, listening to Utopia. "What about Super?" She 
glanced around, looking for the senshi with the long purple ribbons 
on the back of her fuku.

     Utopia frowned. "She went into some sort of depression, I believe 
it had something to do with Hoshi.  Maybe you could talk to her, sort of 
snap her out of it."

     Moshi sighed, she remember the depression of Hoshi's disappearance.  
"Where can I find her?" she asked, her eyes filling softly with tears.

     Utopia's own eyes were misting when she pointed to the far side of 
the field, the spot where Moshi had landed. "You can find her over at the 
roses, the green ones."

     "Thanks Utopia," Moshi said, waving as she ran through the dark 
cloud, finding herself in the expansive field. A few butterflies skirted 
away from her sudden presence.  She smiled at the various colors flying 
over head, creating a rainbow.  

     She nearly jumped as a blue jay landed on her shoulder, rubbing its 
head affectionately against her cheek.  She reached up and patted its 
soft, feather covered head.  Satisfied after receiving some attention, 
the blue jay took off, flying over head towards the boughs of trees.

     A low sobbing reached her ears as she turned around.  She walked 
through the path of chrysanthemums and reached the beds of roses.  In the 
center of the green row was SuperSailor Earth, her purple ribbons 
floating behind her in the soft breeze. The large purple sleeves 
drooping with each sob.

     Moshi quietly walked over and placed a hand on the senshi's shoulder.
SuperSailor looked up, her violet eyes full of tears, in her hands she held 
a small wrinkled snapshot of Hoshi, his green eyes shining brightly. "Oh, 
it's you.." she said, her voice laced with hurt.

     Moshi settled down in the rose bed next to SuperSailor. "What's
that suppose to mean?"

     "Nothing," she started, holding the picture close to her winged bow. 
"I just miss him," she finished, looking up at one of the large billboards 
with Hoshi's picture.

     "It's fine, Hoshi was with me when..." she stopped, unsure of whether
to tell her about her lifeblood draining.

     "..you died?" Super asked, her dark eyebrows raising.

     Moshi's shoulders dropped. "Yeah, when I died."

     Super squealed, pouncing on Moshi in a hug. "That's great!!!" She looked 
at Moshi, who had an expression of pure terror.  " I mean it's not great that 
you died...its just.." She stopped, continuing the death crushing hug.

*			*			*			*

     Haruka pushed her lank hair out of her eyes. "I can't believe I 
did it..." She lowered her face to her hands as deep sobs wracked
her body.  Michiru walked over, placing a hand on Haruka's shoulder,
giving her the sense that someone was there for her.

     "Haruka-papa, don't cry.." Hotaru said, her purple eyes filling
with concern for Haruka.  She looked up at Michiru, whose eyes were
filling with tears as well.

     Michiru sighed, wiping a tear from her eye. "Haruka, it's not your
fault.."

     "The hell it isn't my fault!" she cried, wrenching her shoulder from
Michiru's grip. "I put a sword through her heart!"  She jumped from her
seat and walked over to the wall.  Balling up one fist she slammed it into
the wall with all her might.

     Setsuna grabbed Haruka by her shoulder and whirled her around to face
her. "Haruka, stop this at once!" She stated, her reddish eyes flashing
with a mixture of hurt and anger.

     Haruka snorted. "Oh yeah? You're not the one who plunged a blade
into the heart of your friend!" she snapped, folding her arms across
her chest like a barrier.

     Indignation flared up in Setsuna's eyes. "You think you're the only 
one affected by Moshi's 'death'? What about us, and Usagi-tachi.
How do you think Mamoru-san or Hoshi-san feels?!"

     Michiru placed her hand on Haruka's shoulder again. "She's right
Haruka, what about the rest? You're not the only one hurting.
I liked Moshi, she was silly, bright and funny, but most of all
my friend."

     Haruka's shoulders shook. "Did you see Mamoru fall out? Did you see
Hoshi's face? Did you hear Usagi wailing?!" she demanded, her blue 
eyes flashing.

     Setsuna lowered her eyes. "Iie, I had to make sure Hotaru didn't
see."

     "Exactly!" she countered, her eyes blazing with more fury. "You 
didn't see when Moshi screamed when I plunged the blade into her
chest!"

     Michiru's nostrils flared. "That's not the point Haruka, She felt
the pain just as well as you did! What, did you want her to see? Did
you want Hotaru to see as well?!" she nearly yelled, pointing at the
small girl at her side.

     Haruka's features softened. "Iie, you know I wouldn't want her
to see that!" Her voice strained, threatening to crack on her at
any second.

     Michiru stepped forward, placing her hands on Haruka's shoulders.
"Just think this, we all feel the pain of loosing Moshi, don't 
try and take the blame all onto yourself."

*				*				*

     "Genki desu ka?" Mamoru asked Hoshi as he sat down at the spot
opposite of Hoshi.  Mamoru stared at his friend, he looked like 12 miles
of bad road.  He knew that Hoshi wasn't sleeping, he could tell by the
dark circles that surrounded his dull green eyes.

     Running a slender hand through his shaggy brownish red hair, Hoshi
looked up. "Not good Mamoru-kun, not good.." He let out a ragged sigh, his 
shoulders drooping in what looked like defeat. "I guess I had to get
out of the house, too many memories.." he stammered.

     Mamoru sighed, if there was too many memories at Hoshi's, there was
for sure too many here.  Good thing Mamoru decided to put her pictures
away before he let Hoshi in, no sense in driving the poor man mad with
grief.  "I know...I miss Midget," he said in sympathy.

     "It's like we can never have one moment of happiness!" Hoshi spat
out, balling his hand into a fist.

     "Such is the life of a Sailor Senshi," Mamoru stated, placing a hand
on Hoshi's shoulder.

     Hoshi wrapped his arms around himself, as if trying to hold himself
together. "Mamoru, have you ever loved someone so much it hurt to
think otherwise?" His green eyes implored for an answer.

     Mamoru's blue eyes connected with the green ones. "Of course,
sometimes it hurts to sleep at night."

     Hoshi smirked at a fond memory. "I remember when she first opened the
door, there was this small girl with these large eyes.  She had me
on konnichi wa.  I told myself I couldn't, Mamoru would kill me!" He
paused and let out a small laugh, recalling the look of pure terror
Mamoru gave him.  "Kami-sama, she was totemo kawaii...I was instantly
in love," he sighed.

     Mamoru grinned, he could certainly understand the same emotions Hoshi
experienced, seeing he felt the same way about Usagi.  'Hoshi's truly
stronger than I am, if I didn't have my Usako, there's no telling
what I would do,' he thought as he glanced at his friend.

     Hoshi took the puffed heart necklace out his pocket.  Through the 
diamond shaped holes, Moshi's star seed twinkled brightly, almost
brighter than the day it was sequestered there.  He spoke to the locket
as if it could understand. "I know you'll be back.."  In response
the seed twinkled rapidly.

     "Can I see it?" Mamoru asked, holding out his palm, he was unsure if
Hoshi would give him the locket or not.  With out a word of protest,
Hoshi placed the locked in the middle of Mamoru's hand.  Mamoru looked
in the locket at the seed.  It's light shone brightly as if it knew
him.

*				*			*			*

     Makoto hurried through the hallways of Juuban high, she was rushing 
to get to her shoe locker in hopes of beating the crowd.  Pausing by 
Usagi's she looked down the row and spotted Moshi's locker.  She walked 
forward and ran her hand over the name tag with Moshi's name in hiragana.
"Mo-chan..." She whispered, tears filling her green eyes.

*			*				*			*

     "So, now what do we do?" Super asked, her violet eyes
lightening up with the prospects of fighting.

     "What we do now is get everyone together and go find
Mosite," Moshi said, balling one hand into a tight fist.

     "Let's do it!" Super yelled, turning and running towards the cloud 
with Moshi in tow.  Huffing and puffing, they appeared before the rest of 
the senshi, who were still arguing.

     "Bite me!" Planet Earth said, sticking out her tongue.

     "Where?" Star Earth asked, waggling both her eyebrows
in a lewd gesture.

     CyberEarth made a gagging noise.  She looked up and noticed Moshi and 
Super appearing through the darkness of the cloud.  "It's about time you two 
returned, I was ready to destroy the both of them!"

     Super grinned.  Utopia walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. 
"Good to see you back," she whispered in Super's ear.

     Super whispered back, "Good to be back" Raising her voice to its normal 
level she said. "Alright, now from what I know, we, as in all of us, have to 
defeat Mosite!"

     Planet Earth stomped her foot. "Iie! I should be the one to fight 
Mosite!" She stuck her bottom lip out in a full pout.

     Star Earth glared at her former self. "What the hell has gotten into 
you?" she gestured, using her hands to show her frustration. "What makes 
you think a little funky 'Rock and Roll' and 'Life Force' is going to 
stop Mosite?!"

     CyberEarth raised a hand. "Um, I defeated Mosite remember?"

     The three senshi: Planet, Star and CyberEarth became enthralled in 
a heated debate.  Moshi simply stood and watched in disbelief. She didn't 
think she had an ego this big!  Utopia was starting to become a bit 
agitated herself.  She started pacing back and forth, occasionally her 
hand resting on the handle of her sword. Yakomoto Moshi just stood around 
giggling at the foolishness of it all.

     "Utopia fluorescent screen!" Utopia screamed, creating a screen of 
blinding purple light, causing the senshi to scream in shock. Once the 
light cleared, Utopia jumped to the top of a large boulder and unholstered 
her sword.  The golden blade gleaming in the darkness of the cloud.

     "Listen up you whiny brats.  For years, I've sat here listening to 
your constant bickering with nothing to say myself.  Well, now I'm talking." 
She shook the sword, punctuating each word. "Now, We have to work together 
if we want to defeat Mosite. if not, we might as well get use to the living 
arrangements.  I tell you this, if I'm forced to deal with you all for 
eternity, some things will have to change!" she spat out, jumping down from 
the rock.  She glared at the crowd, her violet eyes flashing in anger.

*			*				*			*

     From the window of her castle, Mosite chuckled to herself as
she polished the long blade of her katana.  "Stupid senshi.
The fools can't even cooperate." Walking away from the window,
she passed a large mirror.  She paused, looking at the reflection
that glared back at her.  

     The too large gray eyes framed by thin white eyebrows that was
nearly covered by her thick white bangs, blinked.  What was the
whole purpose of it all.  She really didn't care if she lost
to the senshi or not.  She missed her twin, Zoisite.  She missed
Kunzite's teasing and Nephrite snapping at her every chance he
had.  Smirking she admitted to herself she even missed Jadeite.

     She often pondered on what life would have been like had she
not defected to the Moon Kingdom.  Would the Dark kingdom had
won?  Scratching her head she went through the small history
lesson Luna had given them.  Them of course being her and Moshi.
Even if she hadn't defected, they still would have lost.  Maybe
it was for the best she defected.

     But the loneliness, Kami-sama, it was too much to bear.  Here in
this castle she had no one to talk too.  Back in the old days if
she had something bothering her she could at least go talk to
Kunzite or Zoisite.  Maybe even Nephrite, if he was in a good
mood at the time.

     Why did they even become evil? That she couldn't remember.  What
she did remember was her twin begging her to follow him so that
they wouldn't be separated.  She would have gladly followed him
to the ends of the Earth, but for what price?  It scared her to
even consider something like that.

     Going back to the window where she could see the senshi talking
to one another, she glanced at her sword and shield.  Sighing,
she said out loud, "I hope you guys come soon because I'm 
bored with this."

*			*				*			*

     "It's about time we came up with a plan!" Super stated, placing
her hands on her hips.  Her two level skirts fluttered in the breeze
of the dark cloud.

     "Hai, let's move!" Moshi said, starting out towards Mosite's castle.

     Together and silent, the six versions of Moshi slowly walked through
the barren field, kicking up clods of dust as they passed by.  No one
spoke, each deep within her own thoughts.

     Absentmindedly scratching at her cheek, Moshi paused, glancing at one
of the billboards that stood up.  This one was of Usagi, her gentle smile
lighting up the darkness of the field.

     'Hmm, how would Usagi deal with this?' she thought, continuing to
walk ahead.  She fell into step between Super and Utopia.  How _would_
Usagi deal with this?  Surely she wasn't the gentle type, she
didn't have Usagi's innocence and purity and for sure not her power.

     "She's so pure," Super whispered, echoing Moshi's thoughts.

     On Moshi's other side, Utopia nodded, her eyes firmly planted on
the castle ahead.

     "I know for one thing," Moshi started, balling her hands into fists.

     "What's that?" CyberEarth asked, her metallic fuku gleaming in the 
light.

     "Usagi wouldn't try to kill her," Moshi finished, a grimace crossed
her face.

     "That's for sure," Star Earth stated.

     "Whoa wait," Planet Earth piped up. "Am I sensing a change
in plan here?"

     Yakomoto Moshi snorted in disgust. "Jeez are you slow!"

     "Shaddup twerp, I've had enough outta you!" Planet Earth groused
at her former self.  She bared her teeth in a semi-snarl as she
stalked ahead.

     "So boss, what do we do?" CyberEarth asked, ignoring the two
lower forms arguing.

     "I don't know now, but I'll know when we get there," Moshi
said, pushing open the front gates of the castle.

     The castle looked like something straight from the fairy tales
of old.  It had the classic drawbridge with the deep moat.  Moshi
was willing to bet that the moat contained a few life forms of it's
own.  Enough in fact to make a grown man scream and jump on a chair
in fright.  Oddly, the drawbridge was down.  The gaping maw
of the castle called for their attention.  In a single file, with
Moshi leading, the senshi-tachi scurried across the bridge and into
the courtyard of the castle.

"This place looks like Frankenstein's alma mater!" Star Earth said
as she was swatted on the shoulder by Planet Earth.

     Moshi shushed the two as she stalked ahead.  Glancing around she
noticed portraits of the Dark Kingdom.  Her heart stalled when
she passed the picture of Beryl.  Memories of her past came 
flooding at that moment.  Fighting the urge to vomit, she continued
down the hallway.  She came upon one last picture.  It was Mosite
with Zoisite's arms around her neck.  Small knowing smiles were on
both their faces.

     "I remember posing for this," Moshi blurted out, her hand going to
her mouth as if to prevent her from saying so.  Shaking the shudder
that skittered down her spine, she continued on.  Once they made it
past the interior hallway, they stumbled upon a spiral stairway.

     "50 bucks say she's upstairs." Planet Earth grumbled, glancing up
the stairs.

     CyberEarth shook her head, she knew not to bet against sure things.

     "Man, you're all stupid AND lazy!" a voice barked, calling everyone's
attention to the center of the room.  In a haze of white petals, Mosite 
appeared with her sword and shield.  The sharp creases in her uniform 
stood out under the castles torches.

     "Mosite.." Moshi whispered as she stepped forward.  It finally dawned
on her what Usagi would do.  Usagi would try to help Mosite not destroy
her, even if it meant the cost of her own life.

     Planet Earth rushed forward, a spark of energy appearing in her palm. 
"Life...FORCE!!!" She heaved the spark at Mosite.

     Yawning Mosite held up her shield, the spark bounced away and faded
out.

     "What the hell are you doing!" Moshi snarled at Planet Earth.  Her 
violet eyes flashed with each word.

     Planet Earth shrank back in fear. "Gomen," she mumbled, looking at
her gloved hands.

     Utopia pulled her sword from the scabbard.  Taking a defensive
stance, she seemed to be prepared for whatever was going to happen.

     Moshi stared a bit harder at Mosite.  'Taskute, Usagi-chan, what can 
I do?' she pleaded mentally, as if Usagi might hear her.  Thinking back, 
she remembered what Usagi had told her about Galaxia.

*				*			*			*

     "What about Galaxia?" Moshi asked, stuffing another potato chip in
her mouth.

     "I saw that there was good in Galaxia, she was only a victim of a bad
decision.  I took it upon myself to try and heal her," Usagi responded,
grabbing the bowl away from Moshi.

     "I don't get it, why not just blast her? You had the power!" Moshi
said.

     Usagi blinked, her blue eyes looking almost luminescent. "Destroying
isn't always the answer.  There is a time to destroy and there is a time
to create.  Someday you'll understand Mo-chan."

*			*				*			*

     "There is a time to destroy and there is a time to create,"  Moshi
started. "Destroying isn't always the answer..." She faded out, turning
her gaze back to Mosite.

     What she saw nearly took her breath away.  Mosite looked tired,
simply tired of living.  Her eyes had large dark circles surrounding them.
Her white hair limply hung in her face.  Her shoulders seemed to be
sagging in defeat.  She looked, trapped.

     Moshi ran forward and pulled Super away from Mosite. "Minna, Yamero!"
she ordered, throwing an arm in front of Mosite as if to protect her.

     "NANI!?" CyberEarth screeched, her finger was glowing purple.  She
was prepared to shoot a laser into Mosite like she did before.

     "Destroying isn't the answer.  We must help her!" Moshi yelled.
"The only way to do that is to become ONE!"

     The senshi turned away and muttered amongst themselves.  Yakomoto
watched on, a look of knowing slid across her face.

     "I understand!" she yelled and sprinted forward, crashing into Planet
Earth.  Amongst Planet Earth's protests, she hugged her.  A bright light
surrounded the pair as Yakomoto melded into Planet Earth, becoming one.
Catching on Planet Earth raced over to Star Earth and grabbed her in a
tight embrace.  A similar light appeared and melded the two into one.
Each senshi followed suit until there was only Utopia left.

     Utopia walked forward, replacing her sword in its scabbard.  "Are
you sure about this?" she asked Moshi.

     Moshi nodded, her dark ponytail swishing.  "It's the only way." She
held her arms open and Utopia walked into them.  A bright light surrounded
them as Utopia slowly melded into Moshi.  Alone and with her arms wrapped
around her, Moshi slowly turned to face Mosite.  Her clothing consisting
of jeans and a tee-shirt, vanished.  Her infinity sign appeared, glowing
with a light of it's own.

     "Mosite.." she whispered. "All these years I fought against you,
denying your existence only to learn that I can't.  To deny you is to deny
myself."

     Mosite's eyes filled with tears.  "All I wanted was for you to
acknowledged that I existed." She dropped her sword and shield.  Her hands
flying to her face to wipe away the tears.

     "Now I know who I am," Moshi stated. "I am Mosite, Takanera Moshi,
Sailor Earth, SailorCyber Earth, SuperSailor Earth, Sailor Utopia and The
Utopia Knight. But I can't be all of these, unless, you join." She held
her arms open in acceptance.

     "But, Zoisite," Mosite blubbered, silver tears sliding down her
cheeks, creating splashes on the front of her uniform.

     "You can go be with Zoisite, if you join," Moshi answered, the light
from her infinity sign filling the darkness. "Be free Mosite, be free."
She whispered as Mosite stepped into her arms, laying her head on Moshi's
shoulder.  The pair was lifted off their feet as their surrounding's
vanished, leaving them back in the expansive garden.

     Mosite looked up into Moshi's face.  Gray eyes stared into Violet as
she spoke. "Arigato, Moshi." She closed her eyes and laid her head back on
Moshi's shoulder as she slowly melded with Moshi.

     "Be free, Mosite," she repeated as tears slid down her cheeks.  Slowly
Mosite faded away, leaving her alone.  A new set of clothing appeared, it
was a set that she hadn't seen in a while.  She was now wearing the
armored fuku of the Utopia Knight.

     Glancing around the garden she noticed that the castle was now gone.
In it's spot was a large billboard of Mosite.  Smirking to herself Moshi
walked forward.  "Now how am I to get out of here?" she said aloud.  As if
heard, a large neon sign flashing 'EXIT' appeared ahead.

     "Whoohoo!" she yelled. "I'm coming, Hoshi!!!" She raced forward,
tearing through the flowers.  Her dark purple cape hovered behind her.

*			*				*			*

     Hoshi pulled back the covers to his bed.  Glancing at the small clock
on the dresser, he jumped in and pulled the covers up to his neck.  Making
sure not to knock the pendant on the floor, he made a small dent in the
corner of his pillow and settled the pendant there.

     The clock switched to 3:00 am and the pendant started to rock in it's
nestling place.  Floating skyward, the pendant opened, releasing it's
inhabitant.  The seed twinkled brightly as it grew in size.  Forming a
human female shape, color returned showing it was Moshi.  

     "Wow, I'm back!" Moshi said as she fell to the carpeted floor.
Rubbing her behind she slowly stood up, glancing at her surroundings.
"Whoa, this isn't my house...where am I?" 

     A soft snore drew her attention behind her.  Whipping around with her
ponytail fluttering behind her, she spotted Hoshi in the bed.  "Ah, I'm at
Hoshi's," she said as she settled on the edge of the bed.

     Hoshi coughed and pulled the covers over his head.  She giggled as
she pulled the covers back and slipped into the bed.  Wrapping her arms
around him, she placed her head on his chest, hearing his heart beat.
Hoshi snorted in his sleep and clamped an arm around her waist.  She
nearly squealed in shock.  The locking hold of his arm kept her face to face
with him, his soft breath blowing up her nose.  She tried to squirm, but
Hoshi had a firm grip on her.

     Hoshi, still within the grasps of a blissful dream, snuggled closer
to his squirming victim, burying his nose in her strawberry scented hair.
This scent brought back memories of Moshi.  Sighing, he planted a kiss on
her cheek and snuggled closer.  He thought he was still dreaming, that is
until he heard a small squawk of protest.  Opening his eyes, he found
himself staring into a pair of violet eyes.

     "Yaaa!" He screamed, backpedaling away from the pair of eyes.  He
jumped to his feet, nearly tripping over the covers that had wrapped
themselves around his foot.

     Moshi looked up and noticed that Hoshi was wearing only his boxers.
She had to admit, he had nice legs. Catching herself, she screamed, "HOSHI
NO HENTAI!" She covered her eyes.

     Hoshi looked down and noticed that he was wearing only a pair of
green boxers, bending down he grabbed the cover and held it against his
body. "Moshi?!"

     Peering over the edge of her hands, Moshi nodded. "I'm back," she
squeaked, a red blush burning its way across her face and neck.

     "Moshi!" he yelled, dropping the cover, forgetting about his boxers.
He raced over to the bed and grabbed her in a tight embrace.

     "UNO!" Ami yelled as she slammed all her cards down onto the small
table.

     Makoto groaned and covered her eyes. "Ami-chan, it's GIN not UNO!"

     Ami giggled at the expression on Makoto's face. "Gomen, GIN!"

     Usagi snorted and threw her cards in. "This is the last time I play
Gin with Ami-chan, she can never get it right!"

     Minako nodded, glaring at her own nasty hand. "What's bad is, she
always wins!"

     Rei looked up from her manga she was reading. "That's why I quit the
first hand. Secretly, I think Ami cheats." She glared at Ami accusingly.

     A red blush crept across Ami's face. "Why would I cheat?!"

     Usagi raised one blond eyebrow. "Yeah, remember when we first learned
this game, she won the first time!"

     "Who taught you to play Gin?" Rei asked.

     "Mo-chan--" Makoto said, her voice trailing off.  It had been a
little over four days since Haruka put the blade through Moshi's heart.

     "You think she'll return?" Minako asked.  Everyone had that question
on their minds, they just didn't have the heart to ask it.

     Rei sighed and put her book to the side. "I don't know, Minako-chan."

     Makoto ran a hand past her eyes as she grabbed the remote control.
Instead of Rei's house they were at Makoto's apartment that day.  The
piercing ringing of Makoto's phone cut into everyone's thoughts.  Minako
bounded from her seat and answered it.

     "Moshi Moshi, Kino residence," she said, twirling her finger in her
hair. "Hai, hold please."  She gave the cordless piece to Makoto. "Phone
for you."

     Makoto raised an eyebrow, who would be calling her? "Moshi Moshi,
Makoto speaking."  Usagi and the rest looked on, wondering who was
calling.

     Minako nudged Ami in the side and whispered, "It was a guy, he
sounded cute!"

     "Way to go, Mako-chan!" Rei hooted, sitting down on the couch next to
Makoto.

     Makoto swatted at Rei. "Hoshi-san? oh how's it going?!  No, we're just
sitting at my apartment...watching TV and playing cards, although I
suspect Ami-chan's cheating."

     Ami's face turned deep red.

     "You want to come over?" She raised her eyebrows. "Oh you had
questions that you wanted to ask Usagi about the star seed.  Sure, sure. Ja
ne." She closed the mouthpiece and handed the phone to Minako.

     "Why'd Hoshi-san call you?!" Usagi asked.

     "He wanted to ask you about the star seed," Makoto answered.

     Minako looked at her watch. "Well he don't live that far away, it
shouldn't take him more th--" The doorbell rung, cutting off her last
words.

     Stretching, Makoto slipped her feet into her slippers and padded over
to the front door. She opened the door and nearly fainted with shock.
Standing with Hoshi was Moshi with a big grin on her face.
 
     "Mako-chan!" Moshi said beaming.  She opened her arms as if asking
for a hug.

     "Mo-chan," Makoto whispered, nearly flinging herself against Moshi.
Bracing herself, Moshi let Makoto fall against her.

     Usagi's face appeared at the door. "MOSHI!!!!" she screamed, bouncing
out the door and pouncing on the hugging pair.  Soon the rest appeared,
screaming and bouncing and pouncing and hugging.  Moshi laughed, these
group hugs always made her feel funny.

     Once the group had finally calmed down and everyone was inside
Makoto's apartment, the questions began to fly like gunfire.  It took
Moshi at least fifteen minutes to get them settled as she started on
describing her adventure into herself.

     "So you finally found out who you are!" Makoto exclaimed, grabbing
her in a quick hug.

     Moshi nodded. "Hai, it's about time I did and I owe it all to
Usagi-chan!"

     Usagi blinked. "Me? What did I do!?"

     "When I was in my mind, there was billboards of all my friends.  The
one of you stood out and I thought, 'What would Usagi do?' The answer came
to me, you would try to heal someone than destroy.  I then thought about
that time we were talking about Galaxia.  There's a time to destroy and
there's a time to create."

     Usagi blushed. "Wow, I actually had influence on someone."

     Rei giggled, hitting Usagi with a seat cushion. "Alright Usagi, I can
see your head expanding!"

     Usagi grabbed her head and yelled. "Itai, itai, Rei-chan!" She snatched
the pillow and knocked Rei upside her head, flinging her from the couch.

     Before a battle could become full fledge, Moshi put her hands up.
"Has anyone seen Ru-chan lately"?

     Usagi nodded. "I was with him yesterday, he's still a bit down
about...well..you know," she said as she lowered her eyes to her
fingers.

     Moshi stood up to leave. "I better get going, I should tell him I'm
back."

     Usagi put her hand up. "No need, give me a second, he'll be here in
no time flat." She jumped from her seat on the couch and went to the
phone. A few seconds later she came back grinning.  "He should be here in 10
minutes."

     Ami looked at Usagi. "What did you say?"

     Usagi shrugged delicately. "Oh...nothing really.  I just told him I
needed him." A sudden knock at the door caught everyone's attention. 

     "That _can't_ be him!" Minako said, gawking at Usagi.

     "I say it is him," Usagi replied grinning.  She walked over to the
door and opened.  Mamoru rushed in with fear etched across his face.

     "Usako, daijoubu!?" he babbled, glancing at her from head to toe as
if to check for injuries.

"Mamo-chan, daijoubu.  There's something you need to see though." She
reached up and grabbed his face, turning it in Moshi's direction.

     Mamoru's blue eyes widened as elation at seeing his sister ran
through him in ripples. "Midget!!!"

     Moshi jumped to her feet and squealed, "Ru-chan!!"

     Brother and sister rushed forward to grab each other in a hug.  For a
brief second, the circle with the cross on Mamoru's forehead shimmered and
the infinity sign on Moshi's shimmered as they embraced.

     Usagi sighed and clasped her hands under her chin. "I just love happy
endings!"

Oshimai! da yo!
