Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon Celestial
Part One
Episode Seven-"Shido's Past Revealed, the Princess of the Earth"

Shido and Usagi were sitting in the Crown Fruit Parlor, Shido sipping a strawberry shake, and Usagi was eatting a double chocolate sundae. Shido looked across the table, and set her resolve. **I have to tell her...** She took a deep breath, and pushed her shake to the side. Usagi looked up in surprise.
"Is something wrong?" Usagi asked.
"Usagi-chan, I didn't invite you here for a sundae..." Usagi looked up in surprise.
"What do you mean, Shido-chan?" She asked, her blue eyes wide.
"Hikage-chan and I won't be going to Juuban Koto Gakko anymore." Shido replied sadly.
"What do you mean?!" Usagi cried. Shido sighed.
"You heard what I said," She mumbled at first, then answered in her normal voice. "Hikage-chan and I won't be going to Juuban Koto Gakko anymore."
"Why?!" Usagi asked, pleaded.
"We were just in transit, Sei Gogyu Gauken is the school we'll be staying at."
"Sei Gogyu Gauken..." Usagi murmured.
"Nani, Usagi-chan?" Shido asked the odango haired girl, who shook her head.
"That name sounds familiar, that's all..." Usagi replied, and Shido nodded.
"Oh... Well, Hikage-chan and I will still be your friends, we're just going to a new school, NOT another country!" Usagi grinned,
"You're right, Shido-chan..." Shido smiled,
"Still, do you want to do something this afternoon?" She asked, and Usagi nodded enthusiastically.
"Sure, what?" She asked.
"There's this new movie, I REALLY wanted to see." Shido replied.
"Sounds like fun, if YOU want to see it! I'd love to go, Shido-chan."

"The search for the Periphats isn't going as well as planned." Dr. Hoshino said, his voice muffled.
Alessandrite sighed, "I know, doctor. Something must be done about the interference. That Sailorearth destroyed the first two Daimons."
"Why not create more?"
"Something is wrong, dreadfully wrong, with the process."
"Then we must find some NEW way."
"But what, Doctor?"
"Arachne and Pandora are still around?" He asked, looking up at her. She nodded,
"Yes, they are. Though Aracnhe seems... distracted."
"Well then, bring in Medusa..."
"Medusa!" Alessandrite cried. "You must be crazy, doctor! She's totally..."
"Are you disobeying me?" He asked. Gone was his childlike impatience. His eyes glinted coldly. Alesandrite shook her head,
"No, no, no, doctor! I'm not! Don't even THINK that!"
"Good," He grinned, back to his old self. "Now, send Medusa out, I'm sure she will have the strength to find the Periphats."
"What about Pandora and Arachne?"
"If they can find them, that is FINE with me. But Medusa is in charge, let them know."
"Alright, doctor." Alessandrite replied, then turned and left the room.

Shido walked with Hikage down the impressive halls of Sei Gogyu Gauken. "I feel so small..." Shido murmured, glancing around nervously. Her gaze fell upon Hotaru and Hikari, talking. She veered towards them, Hikage follwing with a slight smile.
"Hi Hikari-chan, Hotaru-chan!" Shido waved, and the two girls waved back.
"How are you two?" Hotaru asked brightly, and Shido shrugged her shoulders.
"Just trying to get used to this place..."
"I know what you mean, it's imposing..." Hikage nodded,
"But we'll get used to it."

After school, Hikage and Shido met Usagi and the Inner Senshi at Crown Fruit Parlor. "We should talk about this new enemy, even though they haven't attacked lately..."
Minako nodded eagerly, "Especially the one that uses Daimons."
"Ara... " Shido murmured, "The one I fought first. Her name was Pandora... She had this box, and it let out a monster."
"Weird..." Ami murmured, looking up from her notes. "In mythology, Pandora was the one who let all the ills of the world out of the forbidden box. She left hope within..."
"I seriously doubt theirs hope within THAT thing." Shido commented dryly. "However, the monster was easy... Maybe too easy."
"How do you mean?" Rei asked, after taking a sip of her soda.
"Well, a good stab of my spear, and... Poof. Bye-bye baddy." Shido shook her head, "I feel too powerful..." She took a french fry, and began to eat it when she heard a startingly familiar voice.
"Hello, Usako." Mamoru called brightly, planting a kiss on her lips. "Hi Mamo-chan!" Shido smiled warmly at the loving couple, then felt a sharp pang of jealousy. Usagi noticed the grimace on her face. "Daijobu, Shido-chan?" Shido nodded quickly,
"Hai. I think the fries are bad..." She set the uneaten food down, and forced the look away. "I'm glad you woke up, Usagi-chan."
"Ara, I was wanting to ask you that... Why were you at the hospital?" Makoto asked, and Hikage replied for Shido, since Shido was taking a drink.
"She was a student nurse... Since I want to be a doctor, she wanted to see if she was cut out for it..."
"I think I am, but I don't like blood... Or needles..." Shido shuddered visibly. "I think I'll just work on my poetry."

Shido watched her reflection in the mirror in the bathroom. She sighed, brushing a strand of black hair out of her eyes. She washed her hands, and turned, and met a stratling surprise. A man was standing their, and no ordinary man either. With long light brown hair, in a long straight ponytail, and green eyes, he was quite handsome. Shido then remembered where she was, and demanded... Well, began to. He rushed her, grabbing her around the neck and slamming her into the mirror. It shattered, and she let out a gargled scream at the pain she felt. She clawed at his hands, and heard his voice gloat.
"Princess Chalcedony-sama will be proud..." He murmured, as he tightened the grip. She grimaced in pain, and felt a rush of air as he began to fade away, her with him. And then, he himself let out a loud groan. Makoto had come in, and Makoto had well... He lie at the end of the sinks, and Makoto was busy shoving his head under the water. Shido took several deep breaths, then took the time to transform.
"Earth Shadow Power, Make Up!" She cried, as she held the crystal rose out before her. After her fuku appeared, so did her spear. "You made a BAD move, buddy. Now... TRANQUILITY SPEAR..." Suddenly, both she and Makoto were knocked back by a forceful explosion of green leaves. Sailorearth hit the wall behind the shattered mirror, and with a wave of nausea, so too came memories she never knew she had...

"Eurycyde, I don't see why you're acting this way." The man said glummly, and she, Eurycyde, turned away from him. She stared out the broad windows, her eyes narrowed hatefully upon the full, shining moon. She began to reply, when she heard him speak. "You can't always get what you want. You KNOW that." Eurycyde turned around, the folds of her rich bronze gown swirling around her.
"How dare you say that! I never get anything!"
"Eurycy-"
"Don't even start! You don't have to go, you should stay here! Why do you have to go?!" She demanded, and he answered hotly,
"She is my FIANCEE. And I happen to love her..." She turned away again, this time towards the archway that led to the gardens,
"I see... Your sister means nothing to you!" She ran away, hearing him call after her.
"Eurycyde!"

**A brother? When have I ever had a brother? I'm an only child! My parents died in an accident!**

"Eos, you're my only friend... I have no brother, and the Princess doesn't like me anymore!" She hugged the girl tightly to her, and sighed in the silky blond hair. "You're my best friend..."

**Eos... Hikage-chan? Wha-what is she doing there?**

'I am you...'
"Me?"
'And you are...' A surge of memories struck her, and she felt as though she reeled back. But when she stood, she noticed a faint shimmering of light efore her. A girl appeared... A girl in a beautiful bronze gown, long black hair flowing down her back. The girl lifted her hand up, and Shido touched the outstretched fingers with the tips of her own. The girl smiled, and faded away in a sparkle of light, as the symbol of the Earth glowed bright bronze upon Shido's forehead.
"I am Eurycyde." She stated simply, and darkness fell...

Makoto knelt beside her, she could tell she was lying on the floor. "Oy, my head..." Shido moaned, clutching her aching temples.
"Are you...?" Makoto asked,
"I'm fine..." Shido replied sorely. "And glad, too."
"Wh-why?"
"Well, because now I know who I am." Shido replied confidently.
"Ano..." Makoto mumbled. "Didn't you before?" Shido shook her head.
"Not completely... But my three parts are together, you see..."

"YOU'RE PRINCESS EURYCYDE!!!" Usagi screamed, and was glad that they were now all at Shido and Hikage's house. Shido nodded, and Usagi looked as surprised as the rest-Minus Hikage, of course.
"Eurycyde..." Mamoru murmured the name, and Usagi turned to him.
"Yeah, the Princess of the-!"
"Earth. The Princess of the Earth... MY sister." He stared deeply into Shido's eyes.
Shido blink-blinked, "YOU'RE Endymion?!" He nodded, and she tackled him in a hug so fierce he fell back. "DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" She cried, tears streaking her cheeks.
"What's wrong with her..." Rei asked, turning to Hikage. She had a feeling she would know...
...And she was right. "Princess Serenity and Princess Eurycyde used to be best friends, but they... grew apart after Endymion and Serenity were engaged. She had no time for her anymores... But even though she said otherwise, she still cared for them both... Even though she felt betrayed at times. When the Moon Kingdom was under attack, she had been delayed," At this, Shido turned her gaze to Hikage, and blushed. **Don't you dare tell them HOW I was delayed!!**. To Shido's relief, Hikage went on. "By one of her brothers Generals. She arrived on the Moon too late... Or so she thought. She found Beryl gloating, and believed that she had destoyed her brother and Serenity. And so, she attacked, revealing the power no one knew she possessed. But it was for no use... She was killed, her heart ripped out and crushed. She died... I couldn't save her..." Hikages voice, cold through out, cracked, and she began to cry...
