Written by Sailor Alpha

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.

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.
