A Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon fanfic,
	-I Miss You, Naru

Written by Sailor Alpha
<AlphSailor@aol.com>

It has been several months since I last posted a fanfic to FFML. I didn't
want to begin posting until I had something constructive to post. So,
for the next few weeks, I will be posting several fanfics I've completed
before uploading them to their respective websites.
I am creating a webpage for my fanfics, and will post the address as
soon as it's completed. Thanks, and enjoy my fanfics.

Author's notes and disclaimers are on the bottom.

	A letter was laid out neatly on Neon-Queen Serenity's desk. 
Parts of the letter had been smeared by tears, which had dried long 
ago. But it was still readable.

								(date unknown)
	Dear Naru,


	Naru! I am so glad to be writing to you again after all these 
years! I really had missed you! It has been years since we last 
visited each other, and it's boring here without you. Except for one 
thing, you know about the new queen, Neo-Queen Serenity, here in 
Tokyo? Well, that's me.
	Yeah, that's right! Me, a queen! It's still hard to believe 
that I'm the supreme ruler of all Japan, as well as the surrounding 
areas near my nation. I know what you're saying, Naru. I can hear 
you saying out loud, "Usagi! You're carrying things too far!"
	I know, but it's still unbelievable that I'm a queen, and it's 
pretty neat, too. You get to have all these handsome men following 
you around, acting on my mere whim. Of course Mamoru's still in my 
heart. He always will be, like Umino in yours, right? Still I just 
can't help myself from being a bit childish at times. Even queen 
needs some excitement in her otherwise boring times.
	I really wish you were here- it's so quiet around here. I don't 
have many friends around, aside from my lover, Mamoru -now King 
Endymion- and the Senshi -you already know about them, right? Ami, 
Rei, Makoto, Minako, Hotaru, Setsuna, Haruka, and Michiru. People 
don't know that, of course- they assume that their devotion is more 
than enough. Everyday, they come and stop by to pay me their 
respects, offering gifts. Since I felt that I was not worthy of 
their gifts, I asked them to give them to someone else who deserved 
it more. After some reluctance, they gave their gifts to the needy 
people found all over the nation. Yes, there are still poor people, 
despite my status as Neo-Queen Serenity. Even though I am a queen, I 
still can't do everything, and that hurts me.
	People just view me as their queen, their savior who had saved 
them and rebuilt their old Tokyo as Crystal Tokyo; not as their 
friend. What I really want is a friend. I'm alone here with so few 
friends, and I really miss you. I really wish you were here. I hope 
you can come and visit me. I'd love it if you could---

	NO! NO, no no! Why did you have to die?! It's just not fair!
	Why did you save try to save my life? I didn't want you die, 
I'd rather die than have any of my friends get hurt, especially you.
	It happened so long ago, during that final battle, yet it still 
remains fresh in my mind. The Silence was coming, despite our 
efforts to prevent it. We were strolling around in a beautiful park 
and chattering like we used to until an enemy ambushed me and my 
friends. It was then I were forced to transform, and you found out 
for the first time that I was actually Sailor Moon. I am sorry for 
having to keep it secret all these years, but I had to. You 
understand, of course?
	Things just got worse after that. The evil leader easily 
overcame us, knocking other senshi away. I was caught in the 
backlash as well, and needed some time to recover. The leader took 
this opportunity and was about to kill me- he had a clear shot at 
me. But you quickly shoved me out of the way and was hit by the 
blast; you were thrown clear across the place before crashing into 
that--     I just can't stop myself crying like this. You have no 
idea how I felt,  hearing your bones snap like that. I felt so cold 
right then, and ran over to you, not caring about what happened to 
me. You were the only thing on mind then. I never saw Rei and 
Makoto, I mean, Sailor Mars and Jupiter trying to protect me when I 
reached your body.
	You were barely conscious, dying. I felt helpless, holding your 
broken body, knowing that you were dying in my hands and there was 
nothing I could do. I took in your hands, hoping that Hotaru would 
come by and help make you feel better. It would have done us no good 
anyway- she was still trying to fend off the Silence before it 
engulfed the city. 
	You knew that, didn't you?! You told me not to worry, that you 
would be fine. And I actually believed you. But you knew that you 
were dying! You, my oldest childhood friend, lied to me and left me 
alone! Alone! You were so special to me...
	It's pointless to say what happened thereafter, but I'll write 
about it anyway. Sailor Saturn (Hotaru) lost her battle, and the 
Silence destroyed Tokyo, killing all those innocent people. Those 
who had survived went into deep sleep. Then we were hit by the wave. 
My friends quickly trapped me and Mamoru inside a crystal, 
protecting me from Silence's effects- but they also fell into deep 
sleep. The Great Sleep had begun. We had lost the war. I had 
betrayed the people who had trusted me, including you.
	It was a millennium before I finally recovered from the war, 
and used the Ginzuishou to reawaken Earth from it's sleep. It was no 
easy task, but with help from Mamoru, now King Endymion, and the 
Senshi, we rebuilt Tokyo. Under my influence, Earth recovered and 
began to prosper. Peace has finally settled here.
	But nothing would ease my pain of losing you. With each year, 
my pain grows worse. I keep on longing to see you again and enjoy 
the times like we used to before the war. Before I became Sailor 
Moon. I'm sure you're feeling the same pain I bear. 
	I know I'm living in denial, and it's still hard for me to 
accept your death. Even though I was able to revive most of people 
who were lost during the Great Sleep, I couldn't bring you back, no 
matter how hard I tried. I apologize for exploding suddenly a while 
ago. It's just that I really miss you. I'm alone in here, in my 
palace. I wish you were here so we could talk- no more secrets 
between us ever again. It's so difficult to accept your death. I 
tried to deny it for decades. But I think it's time for me to face 
the facts. I'm cold all of sudden...
	Mamoru's here with me now, and he's trying to convince me to go 
to bed so I won't catch cold. As if I can catch one! Thanks to the 
Ginzuishou, I'm immune to all forms of diseases and viruses. Still, 
I guess I'd better humor him.
	But the crystal can't bring you back. I am afraid that I will 
forget about you. I don't want to. I'll write back soon. Please 
don't forget about me, or that I love you and that you will always 
remain in my heart.
	Wherever you are, I hope you can hear me.
	I really miss you, Naru.
	You, my friend.


								Ja ne,
							Usagi Tuskino

	Unnoticed, another letter materialized beside the first one. It 
read:

	"So do I, my friend. So do I..."

Author's notes: 

When I watched the fansubs of the rest of SMR season (from VKLL, of 
course), I had noticed that there were no mention of Sailor Moon's 
family or her friends in the future, after Crystal Tokyo was 
created. I decided to write this fanfic about what might have 
happened to them. This was the byproduct of a suggestion from a 
friend who suggested that I write small, short fanfics instead of 
mammoth fanfic like Crimson Sailor Mercury.
As the second fanfic completed, I sent it in for some revising. But 
it turned out that the original copy had too much of uncertainties, 
and I didn't have any notion of how to solve them. I decided to put 
it off for while. When I rechecked it after the era of 
procrastinating, I rechecked it and found out by rewriting it 
slightly, I fixed these troublesome points to this final edition.
I'd like to thank LeVar Bouyer for catching these 'uncertainities.'
Disclaimers: This fanfic is based upon Sailor Moon series created by 
Naoko Takeuchi. All rights and characters, including Usagi, Mamoru, 
Naru, and others belongs to her.
