Chapter 12: Secrets of Our Past! On to the Moon!

We waited until the night of a full moon to go to the moon. We all met at the park at midnight and awaited instructions from the three cats. "Okay, girls, are you ready for this? Tonight you will find out about your past lives." Luna said.

"In order to get to the moon you must transform while holding hands." Artemis said.

"Jess, you can use that Shooting Star Teleportation move I told you about earlier." Apollo said.

"MOON PRISM POWER MAKE UP!"

"MERCURY POWER MAKE UP!"

"MARS POWER MAKE UP!"

"JUPITER POWER MAKE UP"

"VENUS POWER MAKE UP!"

When the inner senshi and Sailor Moon transformed and teleported away, I transformed. "STAR POWER MAKE UP! Apollo, how can I use this teleportation move?" I asked.

"Just close your eyes and focus on the spot you want to go to. After you see it, shout 'Shooting Star Teleportation'." he said.

I closed my eyes and concentrated hard on going to the moon. I saw Sailor Moon and knew that I had done this attack correctly. "SHOOTING STAR TELEPORTATION!" I shouted as my body vaporized into the air. When I opened my eyes, Apollo and I were floating in space, just above the moon. The moon was full of craters and shadows.

I landed on the moon with a soft thud to see the girls and the cats next a bunch of ruins. "What is this? I remember seeing this before." I said.

"You're starting to remember your past life." Apollo said.

"Hey, Jess-chan!" Sailor Moon said as she ran to me.

"This is the moon? It's so dark and quiet." I said.

"Yeah, it's sorta creepy." Sailor Moon said.

A bright light surrounded the ruins as they started to rebuild. "What's this?" I asked.

"It's the moon kingdom." A voice said.

We all looked around for the person who said that. "I'm over here." The voice said again as we saw a pixie that looked like Usagi floating over us. The senshi stood in front of us protectively. "Don't worry, girls. I'm not going to hurt the princesses."

"Who are you?" Jupiter asked.

The pixie smiled. "I'm Queen Serenity, former queen of the Moon Kingdom in the Silver Millennium."

"Queen Serenity?" Sailor Moon asked. "Why do you look like me?"

The queen smiled. "Oh, Serenity dear, don't you remember me? I'm your mother."

"Her mother? From her past life right?" I asked.

"Yes. Princess Hoshi, you look the same as the last time I saw you. Beautiful as the stars your family protected." I blushed slightly. I never thought of myself as beautiful. "You were always so modest. Maybe that's why you and Serenity got along so well."

"Queen, can you tell us about our past? Please? It's important." Mercury asked.

The queen smiled. "Of course." She took a deep breath and spoke...

"A thousand years ago, all of the planets lived in peace in the era known as the Silver Millennium. I was the queen at the time, ruling the moon. My daughter was Princess Serenity and she was going to follow in my footsteps and be ruler of the Moon Kingdom. She always would go to Earth and it was there that she found love. Prince Endymion, a prince from Earth.

Princess Hoshi lived on a star close to our kingdom. Her mother, Yuki, was a beautiful woman who ruled her kingdom with love and kindness. The princess was also like that. Her older brother, Leo, would come to our moon to try to win Serenity's heart. He failed when he learned that she had fallen in love with Endymion. As you learned, Hoshi loved Apollo, a soldier in Yuki's imperial army.

Hoshi always came to the moon to visit Serenity. The two were best of friends. She also befriended the Sailor Senshi, who protected Serenity. They were princesses of their own planets but were born on Earth. The peace was shattered when 'she' came to the Moon." The queen explained.

"She? You mean Queen Beryl?" Mars asked.

"Yes. She and her generals, Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoycite and Kunzite. They invaded our moon to conquer it. I managed to seal them away along with Queen Yuki's Star Crystal and sent you to Earth to live normal lives. But I had a feeling that this tragic event might repeat itself so I sent the cats, Luna and Artemis to Earth to find the senshi and give them power."

"Oh my. I never knew that we lived such lives." Jupiter said.

"Yeah, I know. I'm starting to remember these events." Venus said.

"Me, too." I said. Wow. So I was friends with Usagi even in the past. It seems natural that she's my friend now.

"Do you girls have the crystals?" the queen asked. Sailor Moon and I both nodded. I stuck my hand out as a crystal star appeared in my hand. "They look the same even now, after a thousand years. Hoshi, if your mother was here she'd be so proud of you." The Queen said.

"Where is my mother?" I asked.

"Unfortunately, she was not able to get her kingdom's main computer to work after the attack. Before the Dark Kingdom destroyed my kingdom, the Star Palace was hit. The Queen and Princess miraculously survived and went to the moon to help us in our battle."

"What happened to Apollo?" I asked.

"He was turned into a cat and was sent to the Earth to wait for my orders."

"Queen, it's almost morning on Earth. We should be going now." Luna said.

"Now? But we still have so much to learn." Sailor Moon said.

"That's all that was to be told. You must go now." The Queen said.

"Serenity, Hoshi I hope that happiness finds you…" The Queen said as she disappeared.

"Please come back!" Sailor Moon shouted as the queen vanished.

"Don't worry Usagi. We'll see her again." I said as I held her.

We arrived back on Earth with time to spare. The battle with the enemy is drawing near. I hope Usagi and I can be strong. I still haven't mastered the crystal's powers yet. I hope I do soon before the final battle.

When Usagi and I got home, I fell fast asleep. I was bushed, I guess that teleporting wipes me out. We only had about three hours of sleep that night. In school we slept in most our classes. This was a first for me, since Usagi always sleeps.

Ami and Makoto had kept me awake since it was utterly impossible to wake Usagi. I happened to watch her sleep and I noticed a tear race down her cheek. She must be thinking of Mamoru. I feel so bad for her. I yawned. The day seemed to go extremely slow.

After school I decided to go home. I was really tired and didn't have much homework. Usagi had gone out with Minako to get her mind off our fierce battle. I flopped on my bed and instantly fell asleep where I had a weird dream.
