Epilogue

***Dimande's POV***

"It's time to have a serious discussion," Usagi said the moment Dimande sat at the table. He wondered what was going on.

Only a few days had passed since what the press had dubbed the Battle of Nemesis, which was a silly thing to call it, since there had been no actual battle. He and the others had done their best to help at the time, and he had felt so connected to the Senshi and Shitennou in that moment that it was as though they had become a family. He couldn't imagine a new enemy had appeared, but the serious way the others were looking at them caught his attention.

"What's going on?" he asked nervously.

Minako suddenly laughed. "Names!" she said spreading her arms and showing them a stack of file folders she had been hiding. "All of you already have first names of course, and the Ayakashi sisters know their last names, but Esmeraude told me the rest of you don't know your last name. Also," she said, holding up a hand. "You can't use your real names in battle and then go to school with them."

"School?" Saphir asked, groaning. "Why should we go to school? I'm eighteen!" He looked scandalized.

Kenji cleared his throat at the head of the table. "First, not all of you have reached eighteen yet, which means some of you will be going to high school."

More groans surrounded the table as Rubeus and the two youngest Ayakashi sisters realized that mean they would be soon following the others out the door every morning. But Kenji wasn't done.

"The rest of you will be required to either go to college, or look for reasonable employment. You need identification, which means we have to discuss names. Furthermore, as with the others, you need to keep your identity secret. The girls have each thought of names for the sisters and if they agree, those will be their warrior identities from this point forward. Usagi will make sure no one remembers their names from earlier battles and that will be that."

"What about the rest of us?" Dimande asked.

"Kunzite," Mamoru said.

The silver-haired man waved down the table. "The guys and I have been thinking about that too, but you may think we're being too obvious so the final choice is yours of course."

"What are they?" Dimande asked, speaking for the rest.

"We considered calling you White Warrior, Green Warrior, Blue Warrior, and Red Warrior. Your Crystals are too close to your given names to use them or it would have been Diamond Warrior and so forth, but we think this gives you just that hint of anonymity."

"Can we have a little time to think it over?" he asked, unsure what the others would feel about it.

"Of course," Kenji interjected. "As for the girls," he pointed to Minako.

"Ami started this, so I think she should go first."

Ami smiled shyly. "For Berthier, Rain Warrior."

Minako grinned at her then smiled down the table. "For Calaveras, Light Warrior."

Makoto went next. "For Petz, Thunder Warrior," she said, grinning.

Rei cleared her throat, "for Koan, Fire Warrior. Again, not the most original names, but it was what we could come up with."

"I like it," Berthier said immediately. The others agreed, nodding their heads and smiling. It gave acknowledgement to the skills and powers they had.

Esmeraude cleared her throat. "Would it be okay with you girls if I took your last name?" she asked, blushing brightly. Dimande squeezed her hand under the table.

"Yes!" came the resounding cry from the Ayakashi sisters.

"You're like a sister already," Petz added.

"The three of us," Dimande added, looking over at Saphir and then Rubeus, "could take the last name Gem," he suggested. The others nodded and Rubeus gave him a grateful look. They would be brothers now.

"Good. Then it's settled," Kenji said, and Minako slid the folders down the table to him. "I'll get these filled out. Meanwhile, you four think on your warrior names," he added, looking at Dimande. He nodded in agreement and smiled.

"So," Mamoru said, looking at him. "What do you want to do?"

Dimande wasn't sure. He'd never been asked such a question before. When he had been young he had been taken by Wiseman, and ever since he had been forced into being the leader of an evil regime. He wanted something vastly different from that. Something where he could help people. But he also wanted to use some of the things he had learned.

"I think maybe college is the answer for me," he said finally. "I don't know yet what I want to do, but you and Usagi have inspired me to become more than I was."

He heard Usagi sniffling, and smiled at her. Things between them were no longer uncomfortable, for which he was extremely grateful. She had been helping him get over what he had been forced to do, and he thought maybe it was helping her as well.

"I want to open a beauty shop," Petz said suddenly. The girls all sounded happy and excited about it and talked over one another for several minutes.

"Maybe I'll go to school for business so I can help," Saphir said, looking at Petz. She grinned at him.

Rubeus looked confused more than anything else. "I have no idea. Maybe it's a good thing I have a year of high school so I can figure it out." He gave a weak grin and looked as though he might be sick at the thought of actually figuring out his own future.

"We can set you up with a guidance counselor," Kenji told him. "Even if it takes time, you'll find something you truly want to do."

The red-head nodded acceptance and began playing with the food on his plate. Dimande reached for a box of the sugary cereal he had come to enjoy and the large jug of milk. He thought about his own future while he ate, and occasionally glanced over at Esmeraude, wondering how their relationship would progress now that there was nothing evil forcing them apart. He wondered if they would someday get married and have children.

***Helios's POV***

Helios sat down beside his sisters and picked up a bunch of grapes. They were one of his favorite fruits. He liked the sweet, slightly sour taste of the green grapes and the very fruity, sweet, juicy purple grapes. Neither of his sisters particularly cared for them, but to Helios they were a delicious treat.

His father, Yume, handed him thick sliced bread with golden honey dripped over the surface. Grinning, he took a bite and smiled. "Thank you," he said.

"Of course. So, tell me how it was when you went into the future. How did it make you feel?"

"Sad, happy, angry, frightened, and joyful," Helios answered. His sisters looked at him askance, but his parents only nodded. He continued. "There are many good and wonderful things in the future and many things that are very sad. I made a promise to help fix one of those things."

"I know," his father said, a serious look on his face. "And this you will accomplish, soon, though it won't happen as you expect, I'm certain."

"Soon?" he asked, a hint of worry coming over him.

"Soon. Something is coming," his mother, Maboroshi, said looking up at the sky.

Helios looked up, not seeing anything, but a sudden shiver ran down his spine. He could feel something wrong with dreams. Specific dreams. The dreams of children.

Wala and Áine, done with their meal, jumped up from the bench and went into one of the fields of flowers. They were in training now, to protect the world of dreams when he took the Long Sleep so he could be with Chibi-Usa. Now though, they were simply running and playing in the grass.

"What is it that's coming?" he asked, worried. "Will it hurt my friends? Will Chibi-Usa be alright?"

"I cannot tell you all the answers," his father said, a stern look in his eyes. "You remember, the journey doesn't change you if the knowledge is already given."

Helios nodded, ducking his head in shame. But worry filled him. He would protect Chibi-Usa and the others. If the coming battle had to do with dreams, who better to help them then the next priest of Elysion?
