“Mother,” Ami said as her mother answered the phone.

“Yes,” Dr Mizuno replied.

“Will you be working late tonight?” asked Ami.

“No. You know what today is,” her mother answered with a sad smile.

Ami nodded and told her mother she would see her tonight before she hung up the phone. Today was the anniversary of when her father had left them.

Her father was a free spirit and a painter. To him a family was too constricting. He did send her a hand painted card each year on her birthday but that did not give her the love she lacked. Her father leaving had made Ami very shy and reclusive. She was very distrusting of men because of the hurt from her father leaving. It was hard to trust Urawa and especially Zoisite in the beginning. When Ami’s father first left Dr Mizuno threw herself into her work to drown her pain. Ami remembered she had been taunted at school once the other kids found out that her father had left. She had gone to the hospital to talk to her mother. She normally did not bother her mother at work but the constant bullying was getting to her. Seeing her mother in the hall she ran up to her.

“Mama,” yelled Ami hugging her mother’s leg.

“Ami I am talking. I will be with you in a minute,” Dr Mizuno said trying not to let her bad day show towards her daughter. A few minutes later Ami tugged on her mother’s jacket. “Ami I am busy. Please go wait in my office,” she said walking off reading a patient’s chart.

All Ami saw at that moment was her mother walking away like her father had done. The normally quiet girl let all her anger and frustration pour out. “You don’t care either,” Ami yelled. “You are just going to leave like daddy did.”

At that moment Dr Mizuno realized she was not the only one hurting from her husband leaving. “Oh Ami,” she said running to her daughter. “Baby I am so sorry,” as she wiped Ami’s tears and a single tear ran down her own face. Looking at a nurse, who nodded as she picked up her daughter and they went to an empty room. She just held her as Ami cried while she softly talked to her. “I will never leave you. I know my job keeps me here a lot but I will always come home.”

Ami nodded and through her tears said, “Promise.”

“Promise,” Dr Mizuno assured her kissing the top of her head.

Every years since then her mother would work during the day and be at home with Ami on the day her father left. Ami and her mother were not as close and Rei and her grandfather or Usagi and her parents but she knew her mother would always be there for her. Ami decided that at dinner she would tell her mother about being Sailor Mercury, the Silver Millennium and the future plans for Crystal Tokyo.

Blushing she remembered that she still had not told her mother about Zoisite. “I better call and tell her there will be three tonight,” Ami said out loud as the reached for the phone knowing her mother was already at work. After a few rings Ami got her mother’s nurse. “Hikari this is Mizuno Ami.”

“Dr Mizuno is with patients. May I take a message,” asked Hikari.

“Can you please tell her that there will be three for dinner tonight,” asked Ami.

“I will give her the message,” replied Hikari.

Night came and Ami was smoothing her dress. “Honey if you do that anymore you will create a hole in the fabric,” Zoisite said with a laugh.

“I am just so nervous,” Ami replied.

“It is just dinner with your mother,” Zoisite answered.

“Yes but not only am I tell her I am Sailor Mercury AND the reincarnated princess of the planet Mercury but I am also introducing you to her. She still thinks that Urawa and I are together,” Ami told him.

“You will be fine Ami,” a female voice said.

Ami looked down. “Luna what are you doing here?”

“I though when you tell your mother of your life during the Silver Millennium you would tell her that she was also there. To help I was going to give your mother her memories back of her time on Mercury,” Luna answered.

Ami nodded and knocked on her mother’s apartment door. “Ami, the door is open,” her mother called from within the apartment. Ami opened the door and the three walked in the place where Ami had called home for most of her life.

“Mom,” Ami said as her mother walked into the living room. “This is Zoicite,” and motioning to Luna sitting on her lap, “and Luna followed me here with me even realizing so I snuck her in for the night instead of leaving her someone to find in the hall.”

“Shall we talk over dinner,” her mother asked motioning for them to follow her into the kitchen, then looking at Luna she said, “Would kitty like some milk?”

“Meow,” replied Luna jumping from Ami’s lap.

Seeing Luna act like a real cat always made Ami giggle. “Some things I have to tell you are things that you may not believe. First a lot has happened ever since Zoicite came back in my life. I knew Zoicite a long time ago and we were very much in love.” When her mother looked at the two of them confused Ami kept talking. “I was originally born on the planet Mercury over a thousand years ago. I am only of the Sailor Senshi, Sailor Mercury and I am the reincarnation of the princess of Mercury.” Ami knew her mother was scientific like her so she quit talking and pulled out her henshin pen.

“Mercury Cosmic Power!”

Cosmic Mercury stood before Zoicite and her mother in the kitchen and close her eyes picturing her princess form in her mind. Zoicite just stared at her amazed every time she transformed.

“This is not possible,” Dr Mizuno whispered.

Ami undid her transformation and sat back at the table to finish her dinner and to begin to tell what she remembered from the Silver Millennium on Mercury with Zoicite adding something every so often.

When Ami mentioned that Dr Mizuno lived on Mercury also she said, “I do not remember any of this.”

“Maybe I can help,” Luna said jumping in the middle of the table.

“The cat talked!” Dr Mizuno said jumping up from the table. “Cat’s do not talk.”

“Please Dr Mizuno be calm. I will not hurt you,” Luna assured her. Luna stared into her eyes as Dr Mizuno stared back at Luna. As the crescent moon on Luna’s brow began to glow a faint think blue outline of the sigil of Mercury appear on Dr Mizuno’s brow. Zoicite caught her as she fell and brought her to the couch.

“Luna is she okay,” asked Ami.

“She is fine. Just overwhelmed by the experience and the memories,” answered Luna.

“I thought only the royal line had the sigil of their planet on their brow,” asked Zoicite.

“You are correct. What you just saw was a faint outline which shows that yes she is a child of Mercury. When she wakes up she should remember her past life,” said Luna. “Although accepting it will be a different story,” she said perching herself on top of the back of the couch.

An hour later as Dr Mizuno began to wake up Ami asked, “Mother how do you feel.”

“It is all true,” Dr Mizuno asked still confused.

“Yes,” answered Ami.

Dr Mizuno looked at her daughter and smiled. “I always knew you were a princess.” Then looking at Zoicite she said, “I am glad you two found each other again. Are you sure Urawa is okay?”

“He told me he understands since he has also regained his memories. He is also seeing someone new,” Ami told her mother.

“Getting used to all of this will take awhile,” Dr Mizuno said scratching Luna.

“Later I need to tell you about Crystal Tokyo and if you accept I want you to be one of the head doctors at the palace,” Ami told her mother.

“Do not wait. If there is more please tell me now so that I may have all the information.” Ami told her all about the plans for Crystal Tokyo and how Usagi and Mamoru would rule a united Earth as Queen and King. “My answer is yes,” Dr Mizuno said. “I will finally be able to practice medicine and help people the way I have always wanted to.”
