Counting Down Ch. 2

[kintatsu]

The Small Lady was born with a Timer that was illegibly static-ridden, the mark of a soulmate long since dead. Upon seeing this, the Queen tried, and failed, to withhold tears.

As Usagi stared down the barrel of what turned out to be a toy gun, the last vestiges of static on the wielder's wrist cleared.

As the newly-dubbed Chibiusa doffed her shirt in anticipation of a bath, she caught sight of her Timer winding down to a date five years and some months hence. Her squeal of elation was audible throughout the house.

Upon her return to the future, Chibiusa was welcomed with smiles and open arms. Not until later, as she prepared for bed, would she notice her Timer once more displayed static.

Her second trip into the past, she made sure to wear short sleeves to watch her Timer. As she landed, she saw the static clear to reveal a countdown of only a few months. She smiled. She couldn't wait.
