-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part I- "Serenity's Tale".

The Palace was somber.
It had only been six hundred years ago that the invasion of the Blackmoon Family
and the Death Phantom had been defeated. Crystal Tokyo was still in the process
of rebuilding. And, the population of Earth was still reeling from the effects
brought on by the war.
'This is a hard place to grow up in,' Chibiusa thought to herself, 'ever when
your blood is royal.'
Chibiusa had been in the conservatory taking music lessons from Princesses
Haruka and Michiru when those lessons were stopped short by a meeting of the
Senshi. Chibiusa could not help but wonder what sort of emergancy this was.
"Even with the Rebels dead", Sailoruranus pondered, "they still seem to threaten
us!"
"Ghosts", Sailorneptune answered, "can do many things."
"Including", said Chibiusa sadly, "stir up memories."

"I am glad you are all here!" King Endymion said as he and Neo-Queen Serenity
entered the war-room, "Especially you, Small-Lady!"
"I was given the role of the new Sailor Senshi of the Moon, Papa-san!" Chibiusa
bowed. "I must wear the responsibility!"
"And you wear it well, Chibiusa!" Neo-Queen Serenity said. "I am proud of you,
my daughter!" She then turned to face the entire Senshi. "I have called you
here, minna, because we have a potential-problem on our hands."
"A 'potential-problem', your Majesty?" Sailorjupiter asked.
"Hai, Jupiter! Sailormercury detected an extra-dimentional rift over the Island
of Hokkaido. Is it still there, Mercury?"
The blue-haired Senshi scanned with her portable computer. "Hai, your Majesty!"
"How long has it been there, your Majesty ?" Sailorneptune asked.
"Thirty minutes," Neo-Queen Serenity answered, "and counting."
"Then The Lady Mars has had no time to read it ?" Sailoruranus said. "Not
directly." Sailormars answered the other Senshi. "But my fire-readings of this
morning warned me of this, of sixteen beings coming from somewhere." She paused
to catch her breath, "eight of them are human."
"Another invasion ?" Sailorsaturn asked. "A scouting party ?"
"We don't know," said Serenity, "but, whoever they are will put our subjects in
a panic when they are found out. Crystal Tokyo is still on the sword's edge from
the Blackmoon invasion!"
"What says Sailorpluto about this ?" Sailorvenus asked.
"The prospect for pain is high." The Time-gaurd replied. "But there seems no
danger to the Millenium. If things go correctly."
"Sailorvenus! Sailoruranus!" Serenity ordered. "Locate the rift! And bring the
occupants of it back here, UNHARMED, for questioning!"
"Hai, Your Majesty!"
"And, Sailoruranus.." Serenity motioned the Senshi.
"Nani ?"
"I mean", Serenity emphasized, "bring them back UNHARMED !"
"Hai, Your Majesty."

"Chibiusa ?" Serenity said, "Before you leave, I wish to speak with you."
Chibiusa walked over to speak to the Neo-Queen. "Hai, Mama-san?"
"Chibiusa ?" Serenity said, "I have been having dreams , and I believe they are
about this day.. and a promise I made at the start of the Crystal Millenium."
Serenity withdrew a packet of envelopes and a sheet of paper. "I wish now I had
been better at drawing," she said a bit ruefully, "but these small sketches will
have to do."
"Nani ?" Chibiusa asked her mother.
"These are sketches I made from the descriptions of eight tiny creatures I was
told about," Serenity said as her daughter peered at the drawings, "by the
parents of the eight children who were these creatures' partners. I think the
children", Serenity took a slow breath, "have finally come home."
Chibiusa spoke slowly: "If these are the children?"
"Then bring them here," Serenity sadly said as she handed her daughter the
packet and paper, "for I must tell them a story."

The Digi-destined felt themselves falling wildly through space. This was always
the worst part of passing between the Real World and Digital World. After a few
minutes of blackness alternating with bright flashes of light, the Digidestined
were able to make out the light of a city. Where the city was was open to
debate.
"What's THAT ?" Mimi asked excitedly as she saw the strange lights.
"Hmmm.. " Koushiro mused, "it doesn't look like the lights of Tokyo. It looks
more like Saporro."
"SAPORRO ??" Asked a suddenly-agitated Jyou. "That's great. What are we doing
over Hokkaido?"
"Search me", Gomamon said, "Someone DID remember to set the direction-finder,
didn't they ?"
"I set it, Gomamon!" Tentomon said. "The coordinants were DEFINITELY set on
Tokyo! The farthest off the readings should be taking us is Yokohama!"
"Wow." T.K. breathed. "Matsuo, how are we going to get home? Mom and Dad will be
so worried!"
"Don't worry, T.K.," Matsuo Ishida held onto his half-brother, "We'll get home."
T.K. smiled up at Matsuo.
"I just hope your parents don't mind us coming along!" Gabumon said.
"Gabumon's right, T.K.," Patomon looked up at his partner, "we might be
intruding."
"Iie." Matsuo said. "You are our friends, Gabumon! Besides, you and Patomon
looked after us all that time in the Digi-World, it's only fair that we look
after you!"
"I just hope we can find a place to stay." Gatomon said. "I know you want us to
stay with you and Taichi, Hikari, but you said yourself where you live doesn't
allow pets. I can stand the cold outside, so I can camp-out nearby! But I don't
know about Agumon."
"Don't worry, Gatomon!" Taichi said. "We'll figure something out!"
"Let's worry about that later", Hikari said. "The Earth's coming up rather fast!
Impact in ten.. nine.. eight.."
"seven.. six.. five.." T.K. continued the countdown.
"four.. three.. two.. one.." Sora counted.
"ZERO !" Everyone yelled, Digimon and Digidestined.
"Everyone out!" Taichi said as the warp they were riding faded. "Women and
Digimon first!"
"Saporro.. " Izzy began.
"the Digi-tachi have landed!" Jyou shouted.
"But- where ?" Sora asked, looking around. "This IS Saporro, isn't it?"
"It certainly looked like it from the air!" Koushiro said in wonderment.

"Stand right where you are !" Called the voice of Sailorvenus. "Whoever you are,
we DEMAND in the name of Her Imperium Majesty Neo-Queen Serenity- surrender
yourselves up and come with us!"
"'Surrender'?" Gomamon asked with a cock-eyed glance.
"'Demand'?" a stunned Gabumon repeated.
"I don't think so !" Taichi and Agumon slowly responded.
"Ut-oh.." Hikari, Gatomon, T.K., and Patomon barely breathed out.
"This isn't FAIR !" Taichi shouted to the seifuku-garbed warrior-women. "We've
had to fight a whole other world just to get home! Now we're home, and we have
to fight again ??? NO WAY !!! Agumon.. DIGIVOLVE !"
"Agumon digivolve to.. Greymon !!!"
Soul Sword, Aqua Mirror, Silence Glaive, and Time Staff were drawn by the Outer
Senshi as the Inner Senshi readied their strongest attacks.
"A.. Dinosaur ?" Chibiusa asked herself as the two sides readied to battle.
"This is NOT good! Shimatte! Senshi !! Sheathe your weapons ! That is an ORDER
!! Drop them to the GROUND!!"
"But, Your Highness-" Sailoruranus started to protest.
Sailorsaturn withdrew the Silence Glaive.
"FORGET I am the Neo-Princess, Ten'ou-san! Here, I represent Neo-Queen Serenity!
As of NOW, I am your COMMANDER!! Drop your weapons!"
Aqua Mirror, Soul Sword, and Tie Staff clattered to the ground.
Chibiusa ran up to the center of the pending-battlefield. She then withdrew
Serenity's sketches and started counting off:
"Dinosaur? Check. Bird? Check. Teddybear ???.. with a.. horn? Check."
"Teddybear?" Gabumon asked Matsuo, "Do I look like a teddybear?"
Chibiusa continued counting off her list: "Beetle? Hmm... Check. Cabbage?
Ahhhh.. check. A.. long-eared seal? Check."
"Mimi?" Palmon looked up to her Digi-partner. "Do I look like a head of cabbage?"
"A seal?" Gomamon asked, then laughed. "Well, I've been called worse!"
"Much worse", agreed Tentomon matter-of-factly.
"Hey!" Gomamon exclaimed, trying to sound indignent.
The Digidestined and Digimon tried not to laugh at this- and almost succeeded.
Chibiusa continued her count-off while trying to hide the smile she was guiltily
developing. "Cat ? Check. And a.. hmmm. Mom told me this was a hamster? but with
wings for ears. Whatever it is," Chibiusa continued, "it's kawaii!"
"Wrong word, Miss!" Gatomon grinned. "The correct word's 'Kowaii!'"
"Gatomon!" T.K. defended his Digimon. "Don't pick on Patomon like that!"
"It's ok, T.K.!" Patomon said with a smile. "We all know how she really feels!
Don't we, Gatomon?"
Gatomon blushed and tried to hide behind Hikari. The Digidestined and Digimon
tried not to laugh again, and succeeded much-less than the previous time.
Chibiusa almost bent-over with laughter. "OK! I surrender !" Then she regained
herself. "What I mean is.." She pulled the first envelope out of her mother's
packet. "Is there a Sora Takenouchi here ?"
"Hai?" Sora said in a stunned response.
"This letter is for you, Takenouchi-san!" Chibiusa bowed. "My mother has kept it
safe awaiting your return!"
"She.. She has ?" Sora asked still in a stunned state.
"Hai!" Chibiusa stood up straight and smiled. "But, first, she had requested an
audience with you!" Chibiusa then cleared her throat so even the Senshi could
hear. "And Neo-Queen Serenity is not one you wish to upset!"
There was silence on the field.
"Neo-Queen Serenity?" Gomamon asked Chibiusa, "The one in whose name we were
told to surrender to?" "Gomen. The Princess of Venus can be a bit quick-tongued,
ahhh.. ?" Chibiusa looked at Gomamon.
"The name is Gomamon!" The Digimon extended a paw.
"Arigatou, Gomamon!" Chibiusa smiled, taking Gomamon's paw.
"Pardon me," Koushiro said haltingly, "Your.. Highness ? If I may ask, where are
we?"
"Saporro, kind sir," Chibiusa bowed, "on the island of Hokkaido!"
"This.. is Saporro?" Koushiro looked around mesmerized. "When was THIS built?"
"Saporro was rebuilt five hundred years ago." Chibiusa said a bit sadly.
"Rebuilt?" Mimi asked quizzically.
"'Five hundred years ago?" Jyou asked increduously.
"Hai!" Chibiusa straightened up again. "Welcome to 36st-Century Japan!"
"Pardon me, miss ?" Patomon asked Chibiusa, "How does the Queen know about us?"
"That," Chibiusa smiled a little, "is Mama-san's story to tell!"

The Digimon and Digi-destined were escorted to Crystal-Tokyo. After landing at
Yokohama and getting to the Crystal Palace, Koushiro spoke up. "So much has
changed."
"Is it just me," Matsuo said, "or were we getting an enemy's welcome when we
landed?"
"Gomen nisai." Chibiusa apologized. "The people of the city are still wary of
strangers. An aftershock from our last war."
"That, I can understand", Jyou said. The Digimon and Digi-destined nodded in sad
agreement.
"When did it happen?" asked Sora.
"Six-hundred years ago," Chibusa sighed, "within the living-memory of the
survivors. Within my memory."
The Digi-destined and their Digimon stopped in their tracks.
"Nani ?" asked Chibiusa.
"'Within my memory?" Mimi asked. "Just how old are you, Your Highness ? If I may
ask."
"Fourteen-hundred years old." Chibiusa replied. "Mom can explain all this better
than I can! Come! We're almost there!"
The small group continued onto the throneroom.
"Gomamon?" Jyou said.
"Gatomon?" Hikari called out.
"Nani?" The two Digimon answered.
"Be on your BEST behavior !"
"Aren't we always?!"
There was a burst of laughter in the hallway.

"Your Majesties?" Chibiusa bowed to Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion of
Earth. "I present to you the Digimon and Degi-destined!"
Chibiusa Stepped aside to make way for her quests. Agumon and Taichi, Gatomon
and Hikari, Byomon and Sora, Gabumon and Matsuo, Patomon and T.K., Tentomon and
Izzy, Palmon and Mimi, and Gomamon and Jyou came into the throneroom. Both
Digimon and Digi-destined bowed to the Queen and King. The Senshi followed
behind and bowed, also.
"I am honored!" Neo-Queen Serenity smiled. Then she turned to the Shenshi.
"Ladies? Endymion? You may leave." The Senshi started to file out of the room.
"All may leave save you, Small Lady!"
After the Senshi and King Endymion left the throneroom, Neo-Queen Serenity had
Chibiusa form the Digimon and Digi-destined into a circle on the floor. Chibiusa
then took her place around the circle and helped her Mother onto the floor as
she sat down.
"Pardon me, Your Majesty ?" Mimi asked, "but why are we in a circle on the
floor?"
"It's a storyteller's circle," the Neo-Queen said, "and we're all in it because
here, I'm not the Neo-Queen! I'm just another storyteller!"
Chibiusa smiled at her Mom.
"Chibiusa!" Serenity stated. "Do you still have the letters I gave you ?"
"All but Takenouchi-san's", the Princess answered.
"Good!" Serenity smiled. "May I have them back?"
"Hai." Chibiusa handed the letters back to Serenity, who started handing out the
mail:
"Jyou Kiddo ?"
"Here!"
"Koushiro Izumi ?"
"Present!"
"Taichi Kamiya?"
"Here!"
"Hikari Kamiya?"
"Here!"
"Mimi Tashikawa?"
"Here!"
"Matsuo Ishida?"
"Here!"
"Takeru Ishida?"
There was silence.
"Takeru Ishida?"
"Pardon me, your Majesty?" T.K. asked cautiously, "isn't that 'Takeru Takaishi
'?"
"No.. It says 'Takeru Ishida'," Serenity smiled, "just as Shigeru Ishida-san
wrote it out."
T.K. smiled, wiped away a forming tear, and took the letter from Serenity's
hands.
"Sora Takenouchi-san?" Serenity asked. "Do you still have your mother's letter?"
"Hai." Sora answered.
"Have you read it yet?" Serenity asked.
"Iie." Sora answered softly. Then, she added, "Do you wish to have it back?"
"Iie. The letter is meant for you."
"Arigatou!" Sora smiled.
After the Digi-destined read and safely tucked their letters away, Serenity
began her story:
"Millenia ago, there was a great civilization throughout the galaxy! In our
solar system, it was known forver after as the Silver Millenium. The centerpiece
of the Millenium was the Moon Kingdom, ruled by the Line of Serenity! The last
of that line was my mother. But, the Silver Millenium was destroyed in a war
that plunged everything into chaos. She died so that her daughter- me- and her
friends who had died could live a happier life. She used the last of her
lifeforce to send the spirits of her daughter and friends into the River of
Time.
"Two thousand years later, I and my friends were reborn on earth. I grew up.
And, then, about my fourteenth year, I started to learn of my former-life. And,
through many adventures, I learned I was meant to rule a new Millenium! This
happened 2500 years ago." "The same time we were born!" T.K. exclaimed.
"And went to the Digital-World." Hikari said softly- and a bit sadly.
"Hai." Serenity sadly smiled. "Anyhow, as the 21st Century came around, dark
forces once again came to our world. The lifeforce of the very planet, and not
just those who dweeled on it, was taken! The earth responded by growing colder.
An icy sheet gripped the world for a thousand years! All that were left alive
were placed in a deep sleep!" Serenity shivered herself, remembering those sad
times. The Neo-Queen sighed.
"The Senshi, the King, and I were also put in this deep sleep. A thousand years
later, the King and I awoke from our deep sleep, we awoke the Senshi and went to
reawaken the sleeping world! It was a slow reawakening, taking five years to
complete. Among the first we awoke were your families.
"This is when I first heard about you and the Digimon."
Serenity offered water to the Digion, Digi-destined, and Chibiusa. After taking
a drink herself, she continued the story.
"When we woke your families, the first thing they mentioned was you! When we
told them when and where they were, the same question came back to us. 'Where is
my son?', 'Where is my daughter?', 'Where is my brother?', 'Where is my sister?'
The Senshi made a search of the whole world. As we would wake up the survivors
of our world, we would look for you!
"Meanwhile, we were hearing your stories told at home. And we would wonder! For,
we know how hard being heroes can be:
"Taichi? Your parents told us of you and your sister! Your Papa said you always
seemed to be the leader in everything you did - whether or not what would you do
came to anything or not- and he was always proud of you because of that! And he
was very proud of the way you would look after Hikari! "And Hikari? Your father
often said you were the light of the family. That you always shown through
whatever darkness the family was in! And your mother always said that the
brightest she saw you and Taichi was that day you saved them from the Myotismon!
She said she could feel your love and strength when you defeated the monsters,
and as you left that last time to finish what you started!"
Taichi and Hikari held on to each other and thei Digi-partners a bit tightly.
The Kamiyas had been a close family, and brother and sister both sought to drink
up all of their memories as if each moment was a drop of water.
"Mom.. Dad.." Hikari began.
"We'll miss you!" Tai whispered through his tears.
"We'll always watch over them." Gatomon whispered. Agumon nodded slowly in
agreement, tears welling in reptilian eye.
"Sora?" Serenity began again. "Your mother told me alot about you." Serenity
smiled reassuringly to the young girl's startled glance. "With all you've been
through, child, I was a bit surprised when she told me how warm and loving you
still were when you and she were last together! To recover from the violations
you suffered-" Serenity shuddered as she remembered her first battle with Prince
Demondo. "I've known others who, when faced with what you went through, have
shut themselves off completely from the rest of the world! And, now that I see
you, I can sense you are still as loving and caring now as you were then. You
have more than avenged your attacker."
Sora smiled as she wiped away a tear. Byomom moved closer to Sora to comfort her
partner.
Serenity continued her story. "After all were awakened, the remnents of Earth
warred over the land. First with their neighbors, and then with us! We tried to
settle the matter peacefully, but, when the people made their feelings for power
and revenge known once more, I used the power of Ginziushou to cleanse those who
would be cleansed of the evil in them, including your parents. Those who refused
cleansing, I banished to their own world. I found it preferable to anything else
mentioned."
The Digi-destined gasped when "anything else" was "mentioned". Memories of the
Digi-world flooded their minds. Executions were not uncommon among the Digimon.
"Even with that war, neither your parents, nor I, forgot you. And we still
searched." Serenity continued. "However, those I banished came back to seek
vengeance on our world. Another war was fought. One that nearly destroyed
everything ! It was during that war, that your families started to die. The
Ishidas and Takenouchi-san died during the midst of the fighting in Crystal
Tokyo. Shigeru-san, minutes after writing the letters to his sons.
"Matsuo! Takeru! Your mother and father were very proud of you! Matsuo-san! Your
parents told me you wore the Crest of Friendship! And your father often said how
the strength of your friendliness seemed to help you fight the demons of
loneliness that tried to eat at you! He said that those demons almost succeeded
in claiming you once."
"More than once, your Majesty." Matsuo quietly corrected Serenity. Matsuo closed
his eyes, and shivered as he remembered his trips to Death's door after two
overdoses. 'What was I thinking of ?' He asked himself. 'What was I running to ?
or from ?"
"But you faced those demons, Matsuo!" Serenity smiled. "And then you did
something very brave. You turned your back on them, and walked away a man!"
Serenity bowed to Matsuo. T.K. smiled up at his big brother and hugged him
reassuringly. Gabumon and Patomon protectively sandwiched the brothers.
"Takeru? T.K, your mother especially talked of how filled with hope and joy you
were! And, how that joy would fill her! She would also say how brave you were,
to go and fight the demons, even when, she thought, no one would come back out
from that fight. But you came back! And went back to the Digi-World to help
repair it, and all because of the hope inside you. She always prayed you would
never lose that hope ! And so do I !"
Neo-Queen Serenity smiled over to T.K., who returmed a shy smile as a tear
escaped his eye. "Arigatou, Your Majesty."
Serenity continued her tale.
"As the war with the banished continued, others of your parents thought they
would not survive the fighting. They also.. pinned their last thoughts to you.
And entrusted them to me. But they never gave up praying that they would see you
again! And, they never stopped searching the skies for you!"
"Just as we left them." Mimi let a tear slide down her cheek. Palmon lightly
brushed it away.
"Hai, Mimi Tachikawa." Serenity smiled. "Your parents were very proud of you!
When Myotismon came to conquer, your parents often told me, they could hear fear
in your voice, as if you knew what was happening. But they heard another voice
in you, also! One of determination and resolution! That, they said, was the
voice they heard when they last saw you. It was a sincere resolve to put back
right what was made wrong! They wanted so much to make their hero-daughter proud
of them!"
"Me? My parents wanted me to be proud of.. them?" Mimi crest started to glow as
the tears streamed down her eyes. "I've always been proud of them!"
"Hai." Neo-Queen Serenity softly spoke. "As they were of you- and are, in their
rest!"
"After the war with the Blackmoon Family, as the banished now called themselves,
we started to rebuild- and thanked the gods that there were many who were spared
death. Those of us who remained were drawn closer. And my people's hopes and
dreams became mine. Koushiro ! Your parents were always praying that, if they
could not see you again, that you would be able to grow up happy. They told me
of the last day that you were together. Of how they saw the hurt of loneliness
washed away by the reassurence of love. Izumi Kana-san often said she thought
that your withdrawel may have been caused by your being adopted. I remember how
others reacted to being without a family." Serenity grew silent, remembering
Endymion's and Jupiter's old fears and tears. "But, she also spoke of the
feelings of love, of warmth, that were released when you and she and Soun-san
were finally able to talk. The tears shed that day, she said, were tears of
joy!"
"Hai." Koushiro choked back a tear as he smiled a little. "They were my
parents." Tentomon drew protectively close to his partner.
'I will watch over him, Izumi-sama!' Tentomon silently pledged.
"I probably disappointed my parents." Jyou said glummily. "I was never able to
be what my dad wanted me to be! And I was never able to tell him why I could
never fulfill his dream for me." Gomamon tried to ease his friend's doubts and
fears.
"Jyou, that was not your fault! And, I'm sure Kido-sama understood!"
"Hai!" Serenity exclaimed. "Kido-san DID understand! And he was very proud of
his younger son!"
"He.. he was?" Jyou was starting to cry a bit.
"Hai." Serenity smiled. "Kido-san, your father often said that the gods chose
you for greatness- for something more than the doctor he wished you to be! He
would often laugh at himself when he remembered the talks he said he and your
elder-brother, Shin, would have. Shin would explain to him that your reaction to
blood would have prevented you from being a doctor. But, Shin often told me you
would have made an excellent counselor, or, maybe, even a nurse." This last
comment brought snickers from Matsuo and Taichi, which were quickly hushed to
Takeru, Hikari, Sora, and Mimi. Jyou let out and nerbous chuckle as his face
turned red. Gomamon tried to reassure his partner that anything was possible.
"I would have made a good nurse?" Jyou asked. "Iie. I do not think so. My
queaziness over blood would have prevented even that profession !"
"Maybe." Serenity continued. "But, things change! And, your father always spoke
of the responsibilies you took. Especially when Takeru's mother and father spoke
of the responsibility you took with Takeru when you both went after Myotismon!
Your father was very, very, proud of you!"
Jyou found his eyes were starting to mist over. He also smiled a little.
"Arigatou, Papa-san!" he whispered. Gomamon squeezed his partner from behind to
reassure him.
"As your families fell to war and age," Neo-Queen Serenity cleared her throat,
"I found myself keeping their visual. The last thing that Shin Kido-san said to
me, the night before he died, was, 'Tell my brother that I love him.And I hope
we will see each other again one day.' After that, I made sure that you were not
forsaken. I have kept a watch to the skies, waiting for the day you would come
back home! It is the least I can do for friends."
Serenity wiped away a tear.
"Your.. Your Majesty?" Hikari asked. "Where are they buried? Our Families?"
"I wish to say 'Sayonara' to my parents!" Koushiro said.
"That goes for me, also!" Jyou stated. The rest of the Digi-destined said
likewise.
"They are buried in Odaiba," Neo-Queen Serenity said, "where they wished to be
laid. 'Right where they saw you last', Shigeru-san said. They are all there."
"When can we leave, Your Majesty ?" Mimi asked. "To see our families, I mean!"
"There is still daylight enough to travel to Odaiba and back," Serenity said,
"but- please- stay a bit for lunch before you leave? I promise, the food is very
good!"
"Well," Taichi spoke up as he felt at the hole in his stomache, "I guess we are
all rather hungry."
"Good!" Chibiusa smiled. "I am sure Aunt Mako-san has been busier than usual in
the kitchen since we got back! She is not only a Princess and Senshi, but, also,
an excellent cook!"
"Hai!" Serenity enthusiastically echoed her daughter. "My daughter shall take
you to the kitchen shortly! But, first, I must speak with her!" The Digimon and
Digi-destined were excused out into the hall.
"Chiiusa?" Neo-Queen Serenity motioned to her daughter, "all these years of
having to use Ginzuishou's power has drained me. I wish I were able to see my
promise through to the families of the Digi-Destined.. by giving them a place to
cal;l home here. But, sadly, that may be a task I cannot fulfil. So, I entrust
their well-being.. to you."
"Hai, Mama-san!" Chibiusa hugged her mother. "Will you be jioning us for lunch?"

"In a little bit, Chibiusa. Right now, I wish some time alone."
"Hai, Mama-san!" Chibiusa bowed, and left the throneroom.
Serenity wiped away another tear, and smiled.
"My freiends, your chibi-tachi are home. May they be the family to my daughter..
that.. you were to me."

Coming- "Part 2- 'To Odaiba and Back."
