In the floating spaceship
The Wiseman was staring through the viewing portal in disgust. "Blast! Sailor Moon wasn't in sight for long enough to me to get a fix on her. The others will start dreaming tonight. It should be enough." He turned to Rubeus. "Hit them and keep hitting them, I want them more on edge and paranoid. The dreams will turn them against Sailor Moon, so try to put her in situations that put her in a bad light."
"As you will, Wiseman." Rubeus bowed as the Wiseman disappeared back into his own time. "I think I will give it a few days for the dream to get settled in and so I can call forth enough droids when the time is right."
Back on Earth
Sailor Moon turned the corner, fuming over Mars's incompetence, then stopped dead in her tracks. "Hi, Tr...I mean is there something I can do for you, sir?" she stammers.
"Hi, Serena, you left your books at my house, so I thought I would just return them." Travis's grin looked like it would split his face, while Sailor Moon just looked totally shocked.
"Serena? I don't know what you mean. My name is Sailor Moon."
"I saw you transform, Serena. You shouldn't have done it in front of my house if you didn't want me to see." Travis's grin turned to shock at what happened next.
"Sailor Moon, you shouldn't have just walked away like that! You know it wasn't Mars's fault..." Luna stuttered to a halt as she saw why Sailor Moon was standing there.
"Is it my imagination, or did Luna just speak?" Travis said while staring at Luna with a shocked expression on his face. Sailor Moon started laughing. "It's not that funny."
"After the way you scared me! It is that funny! Sorry, Luna, I checked to make sure no one was watching but I obviously missed him. He saw me transform." Sailor Moon stepped into a nearby alley and Serena stepped out. "Why don't you explain things to him, Luna?"
Luna sighed and began, "It all started a thousand years ago..."
That night the Scouts dreamed. The Wiseman had done his job well, he didn't know enough about the Scouts to create a dream for each of them, so instead he gave them an idea and let their own subconscious create the dream.
Raye dreamed...The Scouts , except for Sailor Moon, were in a fight with a new droid composed entirely of shadows. They were fighting as hard as they could, but the monster didn't seem to feel any of their attacks. Suddenly it attacked, a wave of darkness spun out of its very being and hit Venus as she was powering up for another attack.
Then Sailor Moon appeared and easily destroyed the monster. She explained that she had been playing this really cool video game at the arcade and couldn't come until she finished.
Then Sailor Mercury announced that Venus was dead. Mars shouted, "It's all your fault, she wouldn't be dead if you weren't so lazy and irresponsible! I refuse to have someone for a leader who doesn't care what happens to us!"
Raye bolted awake. *Don't be silly, she's not 'that' irresponsible, is she?*
Amy dreamed..."I'm sorry, Ms. Mizuno, your test scores simply were not high enough to get you into the top colleges. You should not have spent so much time with that Tsukino girl, she really brought your grades down." Serena responded "What's the big deal? It's not that important."
"It's all your fault, Serena, if I hadn't had to spend so much time getting you out of trouble, I would be able to get into the college I wanted to. Now I'll never become a doctor!" Amy screamed to an uncaring Serena.
Amy woke up. *Serena doesn't bring down my grades that much, does she? Lita dreamed...The Sailor Scouts were in the middle of a fight. A droid had attacked the mall and Ken, as well as several other civilians, were caught in the middle. The Scouts were doing a good job and it would only be a few more minutes until the droid was destroyed. Sailor Moon was hiding behind Jupiter as she got ready to throw her own attack. "JUPITER THUNDERCLAP ZAP"
As the last syllable left her lips, Sailor Moon had one of her infamous klutz attacks, tripped over her own feet and knocked into Jupiter, throwing off her aim. Lita watched in utter disbelief as electricity hit the group of civilians and they screamed. A minute later, Sailor Moon finished off the droid. By then it was too late. Jupiter rushed over to her best friend and held his lifeless body. Her face was covered with tears as she screamed "It's all your fault! If you weren't so clumsy, he would have been okay. It's all your fault."
Lita opened her eyes, she could feel the tears still pouring down her face. "It was just a dream. Something like that would never happen, would it?"
Mina dreamed...Artemis was sitting looking up at the moon. "What's the matter, Artemis?" "Oh, just remembering when we led the Scouts up on the moon." "When we led the Scouts?" "Nevermind."
"ARTEMIS!" "Okay, okay, Venus was the leader of the Scouts, that's why you had a guardian. Hadn't you ever wondered why only you and Serena have guardians?" "So, why is Serena leader now?" "Because she is the Princess, of course, she never fought on the moon. It wasn't considered proper." "I would be leader, huh? Must have been nice." "You seemed to like it. But Serena fights now, so of course she leads." "It's all her fault, isn't it? If she didn't fight, she wouldn't be the leader."
Mina dreamed on.
And Travis dreamed...Of a story he had heard, a silver kingdom and a princess who was the most important person in the world to him.
Serena dreamed...Of her kingdom and a young prince that she had loved from the moment she was born.
Serena awoke. Her eyes snapped open and she sat up immediately. *So that's who he is! I've got to talk to him.* She got out of bed, careful not to wake Reenie and got dressed. Then she picked up Luna and started carrying her downstairs. After a week, getting her homework was automatic, so she grabbed it as she went by. She absentmindedly scribbled a note to her parents and shushed Luna.
Luna was getting a little alarmed at this uncharacteristic action. She looked at the clock as they passed. "6:00! What is she doing up this early?"
"Serena, is something wrong?"
"No, Luna, I just have to talk to Travis." And Serena sat off at a jog to Travis's house. She got there and rang the bell. In less than two minutes, the door opened and Travis stood there. They stared at each other for a long moment before Serena threw herself into Travis's arms and hugged him like she was never going to let him go. Travis looked like he would be quite happy if that happened. Luna just got even more worried.
Serena finally looked up to see the expression on Luna's face. Her laughter brought Travis's head up as well. Still, they didn't let go of each other as Serena smiled mistily at her guardian. "What, Luna? You mean you don't remember him?"
"Remember him?" Luna asked, totally confused. "Should I remember him? Was he from the Moon Kingdom?"
"You could say that. He's my twin brother, Prince Tranquillity!"
