Crystalline Tears By: Silver Star A single crystalline tear fell down her cheek. Her hair whipped her face but she doesn't care. She doesn't care about anything anymore. They are all dead. Dead. No longer living. No longer with her. She is alone. The moonlight shines down on her, making her look like a beautiful princess. But she wasn't smiling. Sailor Moon stared at the star-shaped locket. "I thought you said you will always be with me." She said softly. "I though you said I will never be alone!" She said, her voice raising with each word she said. "But I am ALONE!" She yelled. She started to cry. She slowly sank to her knees. "But I'm alone." She repeated. Her voice barely a whispers. She dropped the locket to the ground and used her free hand to cover her tear-streaked face. As the locket contacted the ground, the lid opened and a beautiful melody started to play. Sailor Moon stopped crying and stared at the locket again. It was their melody -- no -- it's HER melody now. He's dead. They are all dead. All her dearest friends are all dead. Gone. Moon dust. History. And they left her here. Alone. Fresh tears fell down her face. Slowly, she replayed the event that changed her life. *Flashback* "Mars! Watch out!" Sailor Moon yelled but it was too late. The black energy ball hit Sailor Mars's head. She went down immediately. Out of the corner of Sailor Moon's eyes, she saw another black energy ball. This time it's for her. "SAILOR MOON!" She heard someone shouted. Then, she felt someone fall onto her. She looked down and stared in shock at the bloodied Sailor Jupiter. Sailor Moon realized. She became determined. She wanted to destroy this monster no matter what. "Moon Tiara MAGIC!" She yelled as she threw her tiara at the monster. To her surprise, it disappeared. And it reappeared behind Venus. It sent another black energy ball at Sailor Venus. She died, having her heart destroyed by the black energy ball. "Mercury Bubble BLAST!" Sailor Mercury yelled. A blue fog flow over the park. Sailor Moon heard a scream. Immediately, the fog thin out and disappeared. She watched with horror as Mercury fell. Blood covered her whole body. Her face froze in a look of horror. Eyes wide and mouth opened in a silent scream. Sailor Moon knew. She's dead. They are all dead. No, they are not all dead. There's still Tuxedo Mask. He's still alive. But will he be still alive after the battle? There it is. The scream. Sailor Moon slowly turned, not wanting to see the horrible truth. Then, she saw it. The dead Tuxedo Mask. She run to him and cradled his head. "You can't die, please, you can't die." She repeated over and over again. Tears fell down her cheeks. They are all dead, now. She wanted to die, too. But she can't. She had to prevent anymore deaths. She can't let anymore lives be stolen. She slowly stood up and took out her moon wand. She rises it high into the air, letting the moonlight shine on the Silver Crystal. "Cosmic Moon-" She felt the power surged into her. "POWER!" A strong light engulfed the whole park. The light disappeared. The only living being is Sailor Moon. Dead bodies all around her. Everybody was dead. *End Flashback* Sailor Moon stopped crying and picked up the fallen locket. She knew. Her life will never be the same again. Only two hours...and it changed her whole life. She looked up at the silver moon. She closed her eyes and made a wish. She turned from the moon and started to walk toward Cherry Hill Temple. She couldn't do anything about their death but at least she could wish them a happy afterlife. She walked into the main room of the temple with her head down...and then stopped. "Hello, Serena." Raye said, smiling. Serena continued to stare. "You are not dead." She finally manage to get out. "Your wish has been granted." Amy said. "My wish..." Serena remembered. "Yes, your wish. You have wished that we are all alive." Lita said. Slowly, what was said sink into Serena's mind. And for the first time that day, Serena smiled. She hugged all her friends, Raye, Amy, Lita, and Mina. "You will never be alone." A voice said behind her. She turned around and saw Darien. "Darien!" She cried and jumped into his embrace. "I thought you left me alone." She said, crying again but this time, it was the tears of joy. "I will not let you be alone, Serena, and I never will." He said looking into Serena's eyes. "Promise me that you will never leave me." "I promise you, now and forever." ~~*The End*~~ The point of this story was that you should never loose hope. Don't ever think that you couldn't do anything. Like in the story, Serena/Sailor Moon thought that she couldn't do anything about her friends' death but when she made the wish, her friends has came back to life. And remember this, no matter what will happen, you will never be alone.
