It's all gone. They're all dead.
The white-clad figure walked across the surface of the moon in slow, measured steps. There was no atmosphere, yet he needed no protective gear. He was beyond such petty concerns now. His steps made no sound.
He stopped, then hunkered down. A single white glove sifted through the dirt, as if he hoped to find a sign of life hidden there. Nothing, of course. Nothing would ever grow here again.
He closed his eyes and conjured up memories from long ago. The palace, resplendent in its glory. The sweet scent of moon lilies in spring. The princess, a vision of beauty.
He sighed. His revenge was nearly at hand. Only one task remained. He stood and turned to face his destination.
The planet Earth rose across the moon's horizon. He gazed at it with hatred in his heart.
"Come."
A dark silhouette, not a man but a thing, appeared behind him.
"You know what to do?"
The creature screeched. It was an inhuman sound. In another life, he thought, that sound would have made his blood run cold.
"Then go."
The creature bowed, then disappeared.
Soon, Earth will be mine, and its people will die screaming.
For the first time in millennia, the white-clad figure allowed a smile to dance across his lips...
The light of dawn filtered through the curtains and cast the bedroom in a soft glow. Usagi lay in bed, sprawled out like a starfish. A small pool of drool had collected on her pillow. Luna, her plush cat and constant companion, lay curled up near the foot of the bed.
Suddenly, the too-cute, bunny-shaped alarm clock on the nightstand sprang to life.
"...currently wrapping up her European tour, Minako Aino has promised to return to Japan and the studio to record her first new full-length album in three years. While we wait, here's one of her last big releases, from last year's London recording session, Something More !"
When we first met so long ago
We bumped heads for the right reason.
But now I just want to you to know
Things have changed, it's a new season.
What started out as friendship,
Could it now be something more?
Should I back away and quit?
Do I dare open that door?
Usagi sprang to life as if electrocuted and let out a shriek of surprise. She snatched the alarm clock from the nightstand and stared at it in disbelief.
"What? How is it so late already?!"
Luna stretched at the foot of the bed and let out content yawn.
"You've hit the snooze button three times already, Usagi."
Usagi tossed the alarm clock at Luna in frustration. Luna dodged the projectile with minimal movement.
"You could have woken me up, Luna!"
