The people who had lost their energy started to revive.
Sailor Moon hugged her scepter, "Doesn't matter how long it's been, I still got it." As soon as her scepter disappeared, she looked around for Tuxedo Mask, but instead of finding him, she saw a rose lying at her feet, with a small note with the words, "Where we met. Meet me there. TM." She got the idea, and ran off without telling her friends.
The scouts got away before the authorities arrived, but they had not changed back to their civilian forms. Luna guessed they were savoring the time they were in their Scout uniforms. That or they forgot how to de-transform.
"That was quite a refresher, wasn't it?" Rei said aloud.
Lita nodded, "It felt good to fight evil again, even if it might have been for the last time."
Ami shook her head, "I'm sure something will pop up again, and when that happens, we'll just have to take up arms again."
Mina clenched her fist, "Right!"
Luna was smiling, "It's so nice to see us all back together in true form, right Serena? Serena?"
The scouts looked around, and noticed that their leader was gone.
Mina then remembered, "Darien did show up during the fight, so that could only mean—"
She didn't need to say anymore, as everyone knew what was happening.
Their surprise was on.
With Jedite defeated, again, Serena followed the trail of Tuxedo Mask. She had not changed back to her civilian clothes. She is a bit embarrassed to admit how she couldn't remember how to change forms.
She arrived at the jewelry store, by flying no less, and looked for the masked man to appear.
She didn't have to wait long, as a rose fell from the sky, right into her waiting hands. She smiled as she flew onto the roof—
-And waiting for her at the top, was Tuxedo Mask, smiling with his right hand out for her, "Serena."
She gave her right hand to his even before she landed, "Darien…"
"Sorry I'm late in greeting you," he said, meaning what he said.
Serena waved him off, "It's alright, I know you wanted to wait until the last minute to surprise me. Its rather sweet of you, if you ask me."
It's actually the girls' fault, not telling me to arrive until they called…and never calling to begin with. Darien thought, he had been trying to stick to the surprise that Mina had conjured up, but things went out of hand the other day, when Darien's plane arrived later than it was supposed to. Because of that, he had arrived in Tokyo just minutes before he transformed into Tuxedo Mask. And arrived in the nick of time.
"You're looking nice, how does it feel being back in uniform after so long?"
Serena checked herself out, "To tell you the truth, I was surprised that I could still fit in this outfit." If only this once…maybe… "However, you still look awfully handsome in yours, as always."
He laughed, "Yeah."
Serena looked him in the eyes, "I missed you, Darien."
He took off the glasses he wore, "I missed you too, Serena…"
As their lips met for their kiss, Serena couldn't help but notice that Ami had been right all along:
Their love had only grown stronger.
