Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Sailor Stars: Chaos Theory

Act 48: Grasping for the Blue Sky

Seiya looks up at the night sky. It was one of the few times he could be in this form, when he was alone and late at night. There is a large window in his room that provides a view of the sky. It just happens to be in the direction of Earth. He can't see Earth with the naked eye, it is too far away. He sighs. After all these years he hoped it would be easier but it wasn't. There are good days and bad days. He knows Taiki and Yaten think he is being ridiculous after all this time and he needs to move on.

But he can't just move on. He tried. It sounds simple, but impossible. He can never forget her. If given the chance, he would return to Earth in a heartbeat to see her just one more time. He didn't know what he would say to her. He hoped everything was going well with her boyfriend and she is happy. But also he hopes things ended between them despite how unlikely it would be. He couldn't picture anything that would cause them to break up. If he believed he had a chance he would be there.

She knows how he felt. He told her he was falling in love with her. What else could he possibly tell her? All the more reason he remains here, out the way.

He wishes he could have met her sooner; then he might have stood a chance. He smiles at the thought. How much sooner would he have to meet her? It was fun to think about even though it was impossible. It helped passed the time.

Once the planet is rebuilt he doesn't know what he will do to pass the time. Now that Sailor Galaxia is an ally once more, the galaxy is at peace. Just sit around here the rest of his days? It would be a good time to return to Earth but still would not be for a few more years.

So much could have happened during the past five years, not to mention the additional time needed to complete the reconstruction.

A small part of him is frustrated with himself. His feelings have not faded, if anything they are as strong as ever. He wishes he could move on but his heart won't allow it.

A knock on the door disrupts his thoughts. He sighs and reverts back to a female form. There was no way to explain these feelings to the others. They wouldn't understand. If they saw her in the male Seiya form it would lead to another outburst from them and she wanted to avoid it.

She opens to the door to find Sailor Star Destroyer in a silver fuku standing there. The sight of the Starlight reminds her of the additional training she is supposed to complete with her. Sailor Star Destroyer will one day become the leader of the in training Starlights.

"Sorry," Seiya apologies. "It's been a long day and I forgot there were some drills we have to complete. You've done well completing them during the day but night time is a lot different. Your eyes have to readjust after using the bright light from your powers."

Sailor Star Destroyer nods her head. "I'm here to learn. I'm determined to earn a black fuku." A black fuku means the senshi has completed their trading and are the new Starlights that serve Princess Kakyuu. It also means Sailor Star Fighter, Sailor Star Maker, and Sailor Star Healer can essentially retire from being senshi.

Time to rest. But what will she fill her time with? Every time she is left with the same dead end.

She takes a slow peaceful stroll through the gardens at Silver Millennium. Everything is how she remembered it. She pauses to examine a few of the flowers and smell their sweet scent. Their scent puts a smile on her face.

She looks up and sees Princess Serenity approaching her. She doesn't understand since she is Princess Serenity. Isn't she? She realizes she is wearing her old Juban High School uniform. She is actually Tsukino Usagi in this moment. Confusion sets in as she looks around. How is this possible?
