The Christmas Gift
It was a beautiful day in Crystal Tokyo. The sun was
shining and people bustled from one place to another,
following their daily routines. In the Crystal Palace
the senshi were training and the royal family (a.n.
Usagi and Mamoru only) were going about their duties.
Neo Queen Serenity slowly walked down the halls of
the palace, her palace. After three years she could
still find herself in disbelief of all that her life
had become. Where as at one time she was but a whining
crybaby of a girl, she was now graceful, brave, and
the beloved ruler of the Earth. She smiled to herself
at the thought, the thought that meant nothing to her.
The only thing that really mattered was them. Her
friends, her protectors. However, nobody compared to
her prince, her king really. Mamoru, now King Endymion
of Crystal Tokyo.
"Your Highness!" An urgent voice interrupted her
thoughts. She stopped and turned around to look at a
heavily breathing servant. "Yes? What is it?" Serenity
spoke quickly, she knew something was wrong. "It's the
King your highness, it was an atta-" The girl never
had a chance to finish as the Queen took off to the
Great Hall of the palace. She called out to everybody
and nobody, "Where is he!!!" She ran until she
collapsed in the hall. A hand gently took her hers,
and a whispered voice spoke, "Usagi." Even in her
shock she knew who this was, Mars. The only one who
would only call her by her name of the past. She
looked up and saw the grief in Mars' eyes. "No, he's
all right I know he is, where is he Mars..." She was
now frantic and nothing like her normal self. Over the
years Usagi, or Serenity, had become just that.
Serene, calm, and strong.
Venus looked at her friend and felt that there was
more to Serenity's panic than the news of an attack.
She walked to the fallen queen, knowing exactly what
she wanted to know. "He's all right, just
injured, the doctors are attending to him now."
"Take me to him," she ordered. Her voice held no
emotion but Venus, from the planet of love sensed what
she was feeling.
"Of course." She gently picked up her friend and led
her down a long corridor. Marble gleamed from the
walls and floor as sunlight bounced off it from the
huge windows. Holly was hung at strategic intervals as
it was now the beginning of December. The Queen loved
Christmas and the palace was always beautiful during
this season. Yet none of the beauty was visible to
Serenity as she walked down the hallway, again looking
her calm self. Finally they reached a door that was
halfway opened.
"The Queen!" Venus' voice rang over the commotion and
a path was quickly made for the monarch. Serenity
never faltered as she walked to the bed that her love
was laid upon. He was pale, too pale for Serenity's
liking. Endymion's ebony locks hung over his closed
eyes and his breathing was ragged and harsh. In charge
of it all was a senshi that Serenity knew would try
her hardest to heal the King, Saturn. She also looked
pale from the energy she had been using to close the
huge gash traveling down Endymion's stomach.
"What happened Saturn." It came out in a whisper, but
Saturn heard the pleading behind it.
"He was outside with the palace guards discussing a
recent killing spree that happened in the city last
week. As you know Sailor Uranus was able to injure the
man but he disappeared before the job was finished. He
was somehow able to penetrate the palace security, he
stabbed the King before Uranus was able to kill him. If she hadn't taken him out then, he would have surly killed Enymion.
Luckily, I too was there and started the healing
immediately," Saturn's voice had begun to falter.
"I'm sorry my friend, you have done all you can. Is
he stable?" With Saturn's nod the Queen continued, "Go
rest and I will call you when you are needed.
"I do not know when he will wake Serenity, there
might even be some complications..." Serenity stopped
Saturn with a wave of her hand. "We can overcome them
later, leave me." With that those in the room filed
out, leaving not a Queen and her King but two lovers.
**********
"I'm worried about the King," Saturn spoke softly to
the senshi which gathered round the table in the
Chambers of Jupiter.
"We all are Saturn, but you yourself said he should
recover." Jupiter spoke up for the first time since
the meeting had begun.
"He will recover, but I am scared.... I believe he
might... will suffer from amnesia when he awakes. To
keep the wound from becoming fatal I had to use a
large amount of my energy to sustain him, it most
likely overran him and caused a memory lapse."
"No," Mars spoke up firmly, "Serenity cannot handle
that, not after what a loss of memory has done to them
before."
"It could not be helped," Saturn looked to be close
to exhaustion as she sat down into a large arm chair.
"I think you underestimate Serenity, Mars," Mercury
whispered from her place by the wall. "She is strong,
I believe she can handle it, but how to let her
know... someone must tell her,"
Mars surprised them all by speaking her next words,
"I will."
The senshi looked at her, mouths gaping. Mars was
infamous for her low tolerance for the former Sailor
Moon. As if Mars could read their thoughts (and she
probably could with her priestess abilities) she said,
"Neo- Queen Serenity is still Usagi, I respect her
and love her more than anyone I know. I will be
gentle, I promise. Although I did not always act like
it, Usagi is one of my best friends and I will protect
her with my life."
"We know Mars, we just weren't sure you did."
Neptune's gaze rested on Mars as she said this, a
pleased look combined with the one of grief for the
two rulers of her home.
**********
Serenity sat in the darkened chamber holding
Endymion's hand. "I cannot lose you, my love,
especially not now. So much will change soon and I
need you here when it happens." The craking of a door
caused Serenity to spin around. When she saw Mars'
shadow she laughed, but not her usual one which all of
Crystal Tokyo hand come to love in her short but
effective reign. "Mars, I knew it would be you to tell
me of the... complications. I knew you would be the
one to try to protect me from the harshness of
whatever will be."
Mars looked at Serenity- Usagi to her. "You must know
Usagi, and though it may be hard to tell I knew I
could not let you go ignorant of the situation."
Serenity looked at her friend. "Mars, you are one of the best friends I've ever had, and I know you want to protect me, but you can tell me. I'm glad you are the one telling me this, instead of some
doctor who does not really know me. I will not be
angered with you when you say your piece, Mars. I am
simply afraid. I have changed in the years since I was
fourteen. I am not used to fear any longer. But the
look on your face Rei, I know that look. Whatever is
wrong with my husband will hurt me, but I beg you,
tell me now."
Mars hesitantly stepped forward Serenity. She put her
arms around her before she spoke, "When he awakes he
will have no memory, he will suffer from a form of
amnesia that is a side effect of the magic Saturn was
forced to use to keep him alive."
Serenity simply nodded, but Mars knew she was
distressed. "Usagi?" she spoke as if she were trying
to calm a small child. There was no response. She
hesitantly led Usagi to her rooms, still getting no
signs as to her reaction.
When they reached Serenity's bedroom Serenity turned
around, surprising the worried Mars. "Leave me now, I
need to be by myself." She spoke not as a grief
stricken wife, but as a commanding leader. Mars had no
choice but to do as told.
**********
Sometime that night Serenity had drifted off into a
troubled sleep. When she awoke she was lying in the
middle of the bed. It seemed empty to her, without
Endymion by her side. However she soon found this
untrue. A small black cat lay on her feet, looking as
worried as a cat possibly can.
"Luna?" Serenity spoke softly.
"Yes my Queen."
"Not tonight Luna, not tonight. Tonight I am not a
Queen, I'm just Chiba Usagi."
With that she wept. Not the wails that had defined
Usagi as a crybaby, the wretched sobs of a woman who
was hurt. Luna purred madly as she snuggled up beside
Usagi. "It will be all right Usagi, trust me."
Usagi cried for another hour before she drifted off to
sleep.
**********
Outside the door the senshi were listening to
Serenity's muffled cries, much to the distress of the
guard posted by her door, as he did not know if he
should order seven of the most powerful people in the
world to leave.
"What should we do?" Jupiter asked, fists clenched at
the sound of her beloved Serenity in so much pain.
Jupiter had always been Usagi's prime defender,
besides Mamoru that is. She had never forgotten how
Usagi had befriended her when she was an outcast with
nobody to turn to. This experience had given her a
fierce loyalty that could sometimes cloud her better
judgment, this was one of those times. Uranus stood beside her
just as angry if not more so. She had been the only senshi to actually
deal with the man who did this, and it was obvious she
though death too good for him. "If I die and ever find him I'm going
to kill him again, but next time it will be far worse." The other
senshi winced, if anybody could kill after death, it was Uranus.
"All we can do is wait and see," Neptune spoke in a calm voice,
trying to soothe the senshi. "We must wait and see if Endymion regains his
memories."
"Why has Pluto not come to help us?!" Jupiter's voice
was harsh as though she blamed the Keeper of Time for
the recent incidents.
"Something must be wrong with the timeline to keep
Pluto away, this should not have happened." Mercury,
always the sensible one informed them.
"Do you mean the King may not recover?" Venus asked
haltingly.
Nobody answered.
**********
The next day no one dared enter the chambers of the
Queen, no one that is except Mars. At around nine in
the morning she knocked on the door of Serenity's
chambers.
"Usagi?" The guard looked at her with disapproval at
her lack of formality towards the Queen.
"What are you looking at?" Although Mars had matured
she still kept a temper and the guard was the unlucky
soul to feel the wrath of her strain from the worry
she held for her friend.
"N-n-nothing, Lady Mars," The six foot tall guard who
could usually intimidate anyone he pleased was
terrified. He said nothing else as she began to turn the
Queen's doorknob.
"Good," Mars felt bad but said nothing that could be
seen as an apology. 'Oh, this is ridicules,' she
thought to herself and she slowly pushed open the
door. Instantly her senses were hit by the smell of
sickness coming from a bathroom that's door hung open.
Someone was sick, and that someone was Usagi. She ran
to the bathroom to find her losing whatever food she
had had in her stomach from the day before.
"My God Usagi, are you okay?" Mars panicked. She
hated seeing Usagi in pain, no matter what the other
senshi might have thought.
Serenity turned around shocked. She gently rubbed a
cloth to her mouth and closed her eyes as she
answered. "Nothing nine months won't heal."
**********
A million emotions ran through Mars' mind as she
looked upon Serenity, "You're... pregnant?"
Serenity smiled and nodded, but it was a smile that
held no joy, only bitterness. "I wanted to tell
Endymion first, he was to be the first to know. But
then..." she let out a sob, "Now he won't even
remember that he loved me." She ran to Mars and threw
her arms around her. She gasped for breath as the
tears ran down her cheeks. This was worse than Mars
had imagined. She knew nothing of children (it had
been a long time since they'd seen Reenie) or being
with child. All she knew was that Serenity was going
through a time when she needed her husband, and he was
not there for her.
"Shhh.. It's okay," Mars ran her hand through
Serenity's floor length hair. It was dull and lifeless
now, so unlike the usual beauty that radiated from
her. "He will remember you Usagi, he will never be
able to forsake the love you two have."
"Oh I hope so Rei, I truly do. How can I give birth
to this baby when her father does not even remember
loving her mother?" (AN: Sappy I know, but I was taking a
lot of cough syrup when I wrote this, blame it on that.)
**********
It had been a week since the Queen had told
Mars of her pregnancy and Endymion had not woken. Mars had
been sworn to secrecy as Serenity had wanted Endymion
to know first that Reenie would soon be with them. If
it was Reenie at all. If Endymion could be hurt with
no knowledge from Pluto, this baby might not be the
one expected.
Day after day Serenity sat by her husband. The other
Senshi tried to cheer her up, but she found herself feeling guilty whenever she laughed or smiled.
She had waited for Pluto to appear, and tell her all
would be well, but she never had. Days turned into a
week and still the King did not wake. Serenity fell
into a fit of depression and refused to eat. While the
senshi mostly left her alone, Mars could not.
When she finally approached Usagi. "Usagi if you will not
eat for yourself, eat for the child that grows within
you. Endymion loved you when they were conceived,
isn't that reason enough to keep it? Come on odago atama, you know I'm right."
Serenity looked at her, defeat in her eyes. "You are
right, bring me what you will." And so the days
passed, a routine that held no meaning.
It was two weeks before Christmas when things started
to change. Usually at this time the King and Queen
could be seen bustling around the city, making sure
all were as merry as they. This year this was not so,
and the residents of Crystal Tokyo mourned the loss of
happiness that usually emitted from their monarchs.
On one day during this week Serenity sat holding the
hand of Endymion. She stared blankly into space, hand
resting on her stomach, gently rubbing it and
wondering what she would look like in several months.
She barely noticed when she felt movement of the hand
beneath hers. She jumped up to call Saturn but
something stopped her. 'I must know if he remembers
me.' She gently called him. "Endymion, my love, please
wake." Nothing happened. Her heart fell in despair and
she sat back down and cried, her face buried in the
bed.
"Oh, Mamo-chan," she whispered, "Why will you not
come back to me?"
"Why do you cry?" Serenity's eyes flew to her husband
as she heard these words.
"MAMO-CHAN!" She gasped and threw herself on top of
him. She did not notice the look of bewilderment on
his face.
"Who are you, who am I, please get off me," She felt
her body go numb. When he had spoken to her so softly
she had thought he had remembered their love,
realization hit her as she pushed herself off him.
"Nooooo," her agonized moan traveled through out the
castle as memories flooded back to her of the last
time he asked her who she was. After Beryl had killed
them and they had come back to life, he had forgotten
who she was. Now it was happening again.
Suddenly the door to the chamber flew open and Saturn
ran in. "He's awake!" she called to the servants
behind he,. "Await my orders." Her concern shifted to
Serenity who lay crumpled on the floor, no longer
crying, just staring into space. Endymion had awaken,
but he remembered nothing.
Saturn was soon followed by the rest of the senshi.
Jupiter was the first to go to the Queen. "He doesn't
remember, does he?" Saturn shook her head sadly.
"Can someone please tell me what is going on?"
Endymion spoke for the first times since he had
awaken.
"We are glad to see you awake, your highness."
Mercury spoke to Endymion as if nothing was wrong, but
her eyes betrayed her.
"Your highness, me. I'm sorry miss, but I know
nothing of what you are talking about."
Mercury spoke again, "You are the King of Crystal
Tokyo. We, those who wear this uniform- she pointed to
her sailor fuku- are the royal guard for you and your
wife, Neo- Queen Serenity."
Endymion looked confused but he said nothing.
Eventually he looked to his right to see Jupiter
holding the numbed Serenity. "Who are you," he spoke
gently to Serenity. He did not know this beautiful
woman, but he felt as if he should.
"Mamo-chan, how can you not know me, after all that
we've been through. You promised me you'd never leave
me again, you promised." The words were rushedWith that Serenity ran from
the room, followed by Jupiter and Venus.
"Did I love her?" he looked at Mercury, the only one
who seemed to be explaining anything to him.
"Yes, very much. You've loved her in two lifetimes,
and for over 3,000 years."
"A simple yes would have done nicely."
"Your highness I'd like to do a scan on you with my
computer and see what the problem is with your memory,
with your permission of course."
"Of course, anything." He looked out the door from
which he could still hear the sobs of the woman who
had called him Mamo-chan. "I want to remember her."
**********
Serenity might have been miserable but she was no
longer able to neglect her work. That day she sat in
her throne room, only half listening to what was being
spoken by her advisors. The advisors however were not
oblivious to her distress and decided to try to cheer
her up. She was a wise ruler, she would not forsake
her country due to emotions.
"My Queen..." One man, tall and balding spoke loudly
to her.
"Hmmm... yes I'm sorry." She snapped back to
attention but still a part of her was lost.
"Well I was wondering what you wanted to do about the
annual Christmas Festival this year. I'm sure the
kingdom would understand if it were to be canceled."
"No, don't do that. Just because I'm miserable there
is no need to make it so for everyone else. King
Endymion will be all right, the festival will continue
as planned."
The advisor smiled, glad to see the that the Queen
had not totally lost her Christmas spirit.
"I will begin making the arrangements today then,
your highness."
Serenity smiled and nodded, "Bring any questions to me
later, for now this council is dismissed. With that
the advisors left her to her thoughts. This was not a
good thing to do because everybody knows people left
to their thoughts can become upset. Serenity thought
back to the day Mamoru had told her he loved her. It
was the first time she had felt whole in a millennium.
Suddenly she turned around at the sound of footsteps.
Endymion was standing about ten feet away from her. He
was dressed in his usual robes and she was almost
fooled into thinking he would know her.
"My Queen."
"My King."
The Silence was awful, neither knew how to address
the other. Serenity was scared to hear him say he did
not know anything about her. Endymion felt guilty
about the obvious pain he was causing her. Finally he
broke the silence, "I wish I could remember you, but
the truth is I don't. All I know is that I feel
connected to you in some way."
Serenity said nothing.
"Do you mind if I ask you some questions, maybe then
I'll remember." They both knew this was not true but
she nodded anyway. "Well I've been dying to ask you,
why do you where those funny meatballs on your head."
It was the first time Endymion could remember hearing
her laugh, he instantly knew that he had loved to hear
that laugh, before he forgot her that is.
"This is how all the female royalty of the moon wear
their hair. Even when I did not know my past I wore it
this way, I think it suits me. You did to, but you
decided to call me odango atma instead."
"It makes you look like a bunny."
"When we were dating you called me Usako."
"My little bunny..." Endymion said the words with
ease, as if they were meant ot be said by him.
Serenity smiled to hear him say these words. All of a
sudden a thought hit him, "You said that at one time
you had forgotten your past, but you remember now?"
Serenity looked at him. "My past from the Silver
Millennium, not really. I only remember feelings. I've
seen visions of my last life as Princess of the Moon
though."
"Was I from the Moon too?" Endymion asked her.
"No, you were a dashing prince from Earth, who I fell
deeply in love with." Serenity blushed as she said
this, but did not break eye contact.
Endymion smiled, "I imagine I was in love with you
just as deeply, we must have been perfect for each
other."
"We were." Serenity looked sad all of a sudden, "You
know, this is not the first time you've forgotten me.
That is what makes it so hard to bear."
Endymion looked surprised, "I've lost my memory
before?"
"In the 20th century, before we were ever royalty, we
fought a great enemy. She kidnapped you and made you
forget our love. I defeated her, only after I freed
you though. You rememberd me moments before you died,
you died protecting me."
Endymion looked deeper into her eyes. They were eyes
as blue as the sky on a summer's day. He could have
drowned in them, "I have no problems believing that I
died for you... but how did I remember."
All of a sudden Serenity jumped up. "Of course the
Star Locket, but where is it?"
"Serenity, my Queen, calm down. What are you talking
about it?" But even as Endymion spoke these words he
sensed familiarity in what she had just spoken of,
"What is the Star Locket?"
By this time Serenity was running down the hall to
her rooms, when she entered she started opening draws
and rummaging within them. When she saw he had
followed her she spoke frantically, "It was my locket,
I gave it to you in the Silver Millennium so you would
always remember me, it opened and played our song,
then you remembered."
"Do you have it here?" Endymion felt excitement. He
wanted to remember the love he had shared for
Serenity, as he seemed to be falling in love with her
all over again. She sat down on the bed, biting her
bottom lip, deep in thought. Her golden locks hung
down to the floor, curling at the bottom. He longed to
run his hand through them. He felt the urge to hold
her then, but he couldn't, not until he remembered.
Suddenly Serenity's face fell. "I remember what
happened to the locket now. It was right after I woke
you all from the deep sleep." Endymion did not
understand what she was talking about but kept silent
anyway. Serenity continued, "When I woke up it was
gone. I never found out what happened to it. It might
have been destroyed when IT came, when it tried to
destroy the Earth."
As badly as Endymion wanted to ask her about what
"it" was he refrained. Noticing the look upon his face
Serenity walked over to him. "We had just been married
when "it" came. The darkness, the asteroid,
everything. It tried to destroy the life on the planet
but I used my power to put everybody into a deep sleep
while I repaired the Earth. I barely remember that
time. Eventually I was drained and I too fell into the
sleep. After 1,000 years I awoke, I awakened everyone
else and created Crystal Tokyo. All I remember about
those 1,000 years was that I was lonely, and scared.
And I missed you so much, my love. I never told you
that. I always let you believe that I slept
peacefully, it would have hurt you too much to know
the truth. But now, when you do not even remember our
love, I can tell you."
Endymion was surprised to feel tears on his cheeks,
so was Serenity. "Why do you cry?" this time it was
Serenity who asked the question.
"Because even though I do not remember my past lives,
I know that I loved you, and a part of me still does.
Even though all I know about you is your name and that
you are my wife, I love you. The thought of you in
pain, being scared... I wish I could have done
something."
Serenity simply stared at him. "Do you mean to say
that you love me, even without your memory?"
Endymion nodded.
"Oh Mamo-chan, I love you too." Serenity ran to him
and put her arms around him. (a.n. Sappy, right? But
there was no way around it, :: sweatdrop:: REALLY!)
**********
It had been a week since the day Endymion had told
Serenity he still loved her, and as happy as she
seemed her friends were still worried. Every time she
smiled they noticed how it didn't quite seem to reach
her eyes. It was this reason that all of the senshi
(excluding Pluto) were gathered once again in
Jupiter's rooms.
"She misses him," Venus was the first to speak after
the door had been closed. "She loves him as he is, but
she'll always miss the man he was. Without his
memory's he can never be the same."
"Venus is right," Mercury had come to this conclusion
(a.n. Being the smart person she is, ; ) ) days ago.
"Serenity loves Endymion even without his memories,
but someday she'll crack. She'll want him to remember
just how strong their love really was. What do you
think Mars? You look as if something is bothering
you."
"Mmm. Something that Serenity told me awhile ago when
she was upset, she said she had wanted to tell
Endymion first, but she hasn't."
"What was it!" Venus jumped up, "Come on Mars tell
us, please."
"Stop it, all of you!" Luna had slipped in when no
one was looking, "Serenity is going through a hard
time right now, let's let her work it out for
herself."
"Oh all right, but if he doesn't get his memory back
soon we'll have to think up a plan." Venus finally
submitted to the fact that Mars would not be sharing
her secret.
**********
It was December 24th, the day before Christmas, and
Endymion still had not regained his memory. Serenity,
as happy as she was to have him love her was still
upset. She knew deep down that the love they had
shared would never be as complete as it had when he
had his memories. To some degree Endymion knew this
too, and had just waited patiently for his memories to
come back.
It was late that night when Mars finally confronted
Serenity. She found her sitting outside on a balcony,
staring at the moon.
"Usagi, you have to tell him you're pregnant."
Serenity calmly looked around at her friend, "This
last week has been torture. I've been all over the
city, doing this and that, and I have known that I
should tell Endymion. I love him so much. But I can't.
I have no past with him, how can I have a future. Even
though he says he loves me, I wonder if he just knows
that he once did. He's more like a friend to me now
than a husband. How can I come out and tell someone
that I'm carrying their child when they don't even
remember conceiving them. I can't tell this Endymion,
I could tell Mamo-chan, Tuxedo Kamen, even Mamoru-baka
(a.n. My name for Mamoru when he and Usagi were
fighting!), but I can't tell someone who barely even
knows me.
Realization hit Mars as if she'd been punched in the
stomach. The words came out in a whisper, "You're
afraid he won't want it, or love it."
Serenity nodded. "Think how you would feel Rei if
someone just came up to you that you don't know, not
really, and told you that you would become a parent.
Even if you felt deep down that you should love the
person that told you, would you love what was inside
them. This child belongs to my Endymion, not the one
who is here now."
With this Serenity went back to moon gazing. Mars had
been dismissed.
**********
(A.N. This is my favorite part!!!!!!:) )
Christmas morning settled upon Tokyo like fresh snow.
It seemed so sudden and beautiful, nobody could keep
from loving it, even the depressed Serenity. Early
that morning she woke up and climbed out of bed,
careful not to wake the sleeping Endymion. He was
sleeping in a chair towards the corner of the room.
She had come in late from her talk with Mars to find
him there, sleeping peacefully. It had reminded her of
the days when she would come in late from some meeting
or another and find Endymion asleep in that chair. He
would try to wait up for her, but often fell asleep.
She smiled at that.
Still she could not help but weep. It was her first
Christmas when she had not woken up to the love of her
life, excited, and knowing he had spent weeks trying
to find a gift that would please her. He would always
wake her up early on Christmas, like a little child
that could no longer wait to give their parent a
present. Very unlike the typical Mamoru, who was
usually calm and dignified. She being the person she
was would usually want to sleep late, but he would
convince her to come to whatever surprised he had
planned.
She suddenly noticed how cold it was outside, she had
left her robe on the bed. She turned to get it but
found there was no need. Someone else had already done
so.
"Cold?" Endymion was there, rapping her robe around
her.
"Yes, actually," she smiled at him, but it was an
empty smile. Endymion noticed this, and wanted nothing
more to remember his life with her, to make her happy.
When Serenity was snuggled in her robe she noticed
something heavy in the pocket, "What's this?" she
murmured. She could not have been more shocked when
she pulled out a locket. It was gold and shined in the
morning light, it was the Star Locket. Endymion knew
what this was, and somehow, he knew what to do. He
reached out and touched it. The music began to play;
softly at first, then louder until it echoed through
the rose garden that was below the window. Serenity
looked in wonder at her love, praying that this was
not a dream. It wasn't.
"Usako," Endymion whispered. With that Serenity
reached up and kissed him passionately. It was their
first kiss in almost a month, and she would not have
ended it except for the fact that she had to breath.
After only a short moment he was kissing her again, it
was a kiss like no other. Emotions ran through the
kiss, fear that this was truly a dream, relief, hope,
and pure joy. Finally they stopped, gazing into each
other's eyes.
"I missed you so much," Serenity cried into
Endymion's chest.
"And I you."
"Where did you find the locket?"
"I didn't, it was just there."
"I wonder," and with that Serenity put her hand into
the robe pocket once more, Endymion's arms still
wrapped around her, "Don't let me go," she whispered.
"Never."
She pulled out a folded card and opened it, it read,
"Dear Serenity,
As you might have noticed something went wrong with
the time line, It was so minor I never noticed its
occurrence until it was too late. I knew I had to
correct my error so I took a trip to the past to
recover this for you. Merry Christmas.
Your Loving Servant,
Pluto"
Epilogue
Later that night Endymion and Serenity lay in bed
together, arms wound tightly around each other. "I'm
sorry I left you, Usako. I never meant to."
"I know my darling, I'm just glad you're back."
"I never got to get you a Christmas present though,"
Endymion looked down on his Queen, love in his eyes.
"But you did," Slyness twinkled in her eyes.
"And what would that be?" Endymion grinned as he said
that, happy to be with the woman he loved -and
remembered- once more.
"A future daughter."
The End
Well that's it, it's done. What did you think, it was
my first ever attempt so don't be so harsh. I would
have told you in the beginning but I was afraid you
wouldn't read it. ::sweatdrop:: Well anyway you have
to email me and tell me what you thought! Don't be to
mean though, while I'll take constructive criticism,
death threats are not appreciated. Should I write
another, yes, no, maybe so. Tell me, tell me, tell me!
Please... :: looks at you all pleadingly::
Remember: Fleur422@yahoo.com -give it a Sailor Moon or
Fan Fiction related title so I don't delete it
P.S. You didn't actually think I would end it without
Usagi and Mamoru remembering each other did you!?!
