Eudial gathered all her powers to reach Earth. The planet seemed more far every second and she knew that her powers were about to run short. Eudial's head was aching in a terrible way.
Suddenly she saw Earth's atmosphere around her and a wood below. The witch passed out and she crashed to the ground.
Meanwhile Usagi was back to Earth too and she was sobbing in her friends' arms: "How she could chose to remain on Tau Ceti?!"
"Yes, this is strange..." said Rei "I can't understand Eudial's behavior."
"Maybe she fell in love with that Quartz..." said Artemis.
Everyone stared at him.
"How can you say such silly things?!!" Luna hit Artemis on his head "We all know that Eudial loves Silver!"
All the girls agreed with Luna.
Only Usagi didn't speak.
"Usagi you should go home, now!" Makoto said "You were away from home for almost a month and your parents were very worried. We said them that you went away to search Eudial. Obviously, we didn't say them that you were searching her on another planet!"
Two person were having a walk in the wood. They were a man and a woman and they were of middle age.
The eyes of the woman were sad, as she was still suffering for an ancient sorrow.
Suddenly they saw a girl laying near some trees: she had red hair and a golden chain with a blue crystal was around her neck.
The man kneeled near Eudial and touched her wrist: "She's still alive. She's only unconscious."
The woman looked at the witch: "Oh, poor girl! I wonder what's happened to her. And she wears a very weird dress... Please, let's take her home!"
The man lifted Eudial and they hurried to go home.
Later, Eudial was sleeping in a large bed in a very big house.
The man and the woman were looking at her.
"She's red haired..." said the woman "...just like Yuuko."
"Himeko," the man said sadly "that girl is not Yuuko. If Yuuko was still alive, she could look a little like her, but Yuuko is dead. You must accept this."
Himeko sighed "I know that, Ryu, but I can't stop thinking to Yuuko. Even if she's dead when she was a child, she was our only daughter..."
Eudial opened her eyes.
The woman went to her bedside: "How are you? Are you feeling better now?"
"Who are you? What's happened? I can't remember anything..."
"What? Do you mean that you can't remember your name?"
Eudial sighed: "Yes. My mind is empty."
The woman smiled: "Don't worry. My name is Himeko Arimura and that man is Ryu, my husband. And you are Yuuko, our beloved daughter."
Ryu gasped but Himeko dragged him out of the room: "Now sleep a little, Yuuko. I and dad will be outside of your room if you need something..."
Ryu looked at his wife deranged: "Are you crazy? She's not Yuuko! What will happen when she'll have her memory back?"
"She could never remember her past. And she is Yuuko! She was near the river were Yuuko drowned. And she looks like her! If Fate wanted to give us another daughter, I'll love her as I loved Yuuko!"
Ryu sighed. He hadn't the heart to destroy Himeko happiness. His wife never recovered from the death of her daughter and that was the first time in ten years that he saw her smiling again.
A month passed.
It had been a quiet month for Sailor Senshi: Sarcolite and Dioptasio were too busy on Tau Ceti to attack Earth.
Of course the girls didn't know that and thought that the peace was due to Eudial and Quartz's will.
They missed the witch, but they knew that they couldn't do anything to have her back on Earth and resigned themselves: after all Eudial was well.
Only Silver couldn't accept that. He was always sad and he spent all his time at home thinking of Eudial or wandering in the town to stay in the places where he had been with his witch.
Diodite didn't show up again from the day he slapped her.
Silver felt guilty to have hit a girl, but he was glad she wasn't around him anymore.
In fact, after that day, Diodite understood that Silver's heart would never belong to her and she decided to give up and accept Rodoc love.
Usagi woke up late, as usual, and she was running down the street to go to school.
When she entered into the classroom, she was out of breath.
"You're lucky, Usagi!" Naru said "It seems that the teacher hasn't arrived yet! I've heard that we'll have a new school-mate!"
The teacher walked into the class: "I'm sorry if I'm late, but I have to introduce you a new friend: she's a little older than you all because she missed some years of school for her delicate health. I hope you'll be friend soon. Her name is Yuuko Arimura and she just moved to Tokyo. Yuuko, come here now."
The girl entered the room and Usagi actually stared at her: "Eudial!"
She stood up and hugged Yuuko: "Eudial, you're back! I missed you so much!"
"Calm down, please... I don't know you. My name is Yuuko, why are you calling me Eudial? You must have me confused with someone else..."
Usagi stared at her and looked her in the eyes: that girl wasn't lying.
Usagi blushed: "I'm sorry, Yuuko. You look exactly like a friend of mine..."
The teacher looked at the two girls: "Well, now we have to begin lessons. Go to your seats immediately!"
During the day, Usagi paid attention to Yuuko behavior and she conclude that the girl wasn't Eudial at all.
Yuuko was very shy, gentle, timorous and even more crybaby than Usagi.
During the break at lunch time, some guys mocked her calling her "redhead" and "carrot-hair".
Yuuko cried for half an hour because of this.
Usagi sat in the garden of the school.
"She can't be Eudial." Usagi said to herself "If someone had mocked Eudial in that way, she'd never burst up in tears like Yuuko, and those guys would have regretted their words..."
Suddenly she heard a weak sob behind the tree Usagi was sitting near.
She turned and saw that it was Yuuko.
The girl was weeping. Usagi sat near her: "Hi! What's up? Why are you crying?"
Yuuko startled: "Oh, that's you!"
"My name is Usagi. Did that guys mocked you again?"
Yuuko nodded: "It seems that nobody stands me...But it's not my fault if I'm a coward..."
She sobbed again.
"Come on, come on, don't cry! If you want we'll be friends!"
Yuuko widened her eyes: "Really?"
Usagi smiled: "Of course!"
