Special shoutout to LoveInTheBattleField, ISana55, and Shaydoe! Again, thank you and here is the conclusion to A Life of Their Own. Always remember that you always have a choice in your destiny and never stop believing in your dreams even when the entire world is against you!

Malcolm and Mina spent their days and their nights arguing and making love. Matthew used his power to help build different parts of the Earth with the Kunzite and Zoicite. Nephrite and Lita discovered that they had a lot in common and Lita learnt that he was a wealthy businessmen playboy from Los Angeles with several record companies and movie studios. Lita told Mina about him but Mina said that the entertainment world was behind her.

Rei was in France. She was helping to rebuild the country when a familiar voice called her name. She turned around to find that it was Chad. She raced towards him after the shock of seeing his face in so long. He had hid underground during the attacks along with thousands of other Earthlings. They went to an abandon hotel and made passionate love to each other without protection.

Rei told him she wanted his baby and to be wife. She wanted to love him without fear.

At the end of the week, everyone gather again to pay respects to the friends that they had lost. They said their final good-byes to Outer Senshi, Serenity, Greg, Chad, and Katie. They said good-bye to their families and loved ones who were destroyed during the attacks and then they kind of all went their separate ways.

Two years had passed. With the help of Malcolm, Matthew, and the Four Shitennou, the Earth was practically back to normal with only one hundred thousand people scattered throughout it and the air was fresher and the ocean was clear and clean. The Earth almost resembled the beauty it possessed during the reign of the Golden Kingdom.

Lita and Ami had their babies a few weeks apart. Lita had a healthy girl named Hannah Furuhata with beautiful brown locks and pretty green eyes. Her fiancé, Nicholas Richards aka Nephrite stood right next to her as she welcome the beautiful little girl into the world. They married six months later and now reside in Los Angeles, California in Nate's mansion.

A few weeks later, Jadeite was at Ami's apartment in Germany. In civilian form, he was Jayden Wesley but Ami called him Jay. Ami decided to finished medical school in Germany even though Jay lived in Australia. Jayden decided to move in with Ami until after she had the baby and finished the program the following spring. On the day she finished the program, he proposed to her and they married in the spring of the following year. They relocated to Australia and now Ami is a top neurosurgeon at one of the top hospitals on the continent.

During a heated argument about Jay leaving the toilet seat up, Ami's went into labor. There was a bad blizzard outside and they could not make it to the hospital and Ami refused for him to use his powers to teleport them to the hospital. Therefore, Ami guided Jay through the procedure and in the bathtub of their bathroom of their apartment, little Gregory Wesley was born with brown hair like his father Greg and blue eyes like his mother. Jay laughed as he happily kissed his new son and girlfriend's forehead.

Mina screamed so loudly as she lied on the sofa in their two storied mansion in London. Mina feared having the baby in a hospital since Malcolm was half demonic. She had nightmares that the baby was going to be a hell spawn with slimy skin and testicles but she would not tell Malcolm that. They had been happily married for six months at the time. Malcolm had the power to absorb information instantly and went to a library and absorbed all the knowledge of the books within minutes. If he was going to live as a mortal, he wanted to live the best life he could. Therefore, he created a fake life for himself like Mina did where he graduated with top honors from Yale University in Business Law and was the self-made billionaire owner of a Fortune 10 software company where he was President and CEO.

Mina thought it was a little extreme but he spoiled her rotten so she did not complain. When the baby came out of her, Mina screamed so loud as Ami held her hand that a golden aura appeared around her as the symbol of Venus appeared on her forehead. When she opened her eyes, the symbol of the black moon crescent moon family merged with the symbol of Venus appeared on her forehead. She was relieved when a beautiful, normal, and healthy baby girl named Victoria Black came out crying. She had beautiful golden locks and pretty blue eyes like her mother. After Ami cleaned the baby and treated it, she brought the baby to them and gently handed it open to Malcolm, she said, "Congratulation, you have a beautiful daughter."

Ami and Mina stared in awe across the room with smiles on their faces as they saw the warm and affectionate look that Malcolm had as he held his little girl in his arms.

He said in a mesmerized voice, "I did not know I was capable of creating something so beautiful. I love you, my little princess."

A few months after Mina had her baby. Rei and Chad welcomed their own bundle of joy which was a boy with raven hair like his mother and brown eyes like his father.

Darien, on the other hand, graduated from medical school and completed his residency at a hospital in Japan. He now went by Dr. Mamoru Chiba. He lived in a nice apartment on a nice part of town. He spent most of his days working and when he was not on call at work, he was at home. Every morning, he woke up, took his morning two-mile jog, came home, shower, fixed himself a cup of strong coffee, read the newspaper for twenty minutes, and went to work. He hardly dated anyone. He only went on a couple of dates because the girls and even the guys, who have become some of his best friends since he lost Motoki that he even dated. They were worried about him being alone. He constantly told them that he was happy being alone but they did not believe. Every girl he dated he compared them to his dead wife. He sat bored. Sometimes he would go to a bar or club and hook up with a skinny blonde with blue eyes and have sex with her pretending she was Serenity. He did not care if he called them Usagi while he made love to them and he easily dismissed them the next morning. If he spent the night at their apartments, he was gone before they woke up the following morning. He knew what he was doing was wrong, but he could not help it. He ended his days in bed with her star locket next to his end table hoping that it would play again.

He missed Motoki and was glad that Lita finally moved on and was happy with someone else. Motoki would not have wanted her to be alone. It was Mamoru that encouraged Ami and Lita to go out with Jayden and Nick. They felt guilty about moving on too soon after their husbands' death. But Mamoru gave them a reality check. He informed them that if it was the other way around, no matter how much they would like to think that Greg and Andrew would have spent their entire lives mourning the loss of them like this a romantic novel, they would have, in reality, moved on within six months. Life is too short to sit around mourning the dead when they were still young and had so much life in them to live. He wished he took his own advice.

Five years has passed since the loss of his precious Serenity. He woke up with her on his mind and fell asleep dreaming about her. He found himself wandering the district that they used to live in sometimes. He visited the Crown and Parlor that were now abandon buildings, he visited her neighborhood where her home was that was now an empty lot, he walked to the park that was now a parking lot to a big retail store that was being build. Everything that reminded him of her physically was gone, but he still refused to let her go.

He was now on a plane flying first class to Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Money was finally not an issue to him any longer. He was even able to pay Reese back for using his credit card that one time to fly out to Tokyo when he thought Usagi was in danger. Now, he was heading to Georgia because he was invited to Reese and Kia's wedding. They really bonded after the attack and have been dating for over five years. Mamoru looked down at the invitation in his hand that said plus one but they both knew that Mamoru was coming alone.

The wedding was an outside wedding in the backyard of Reese and Kia's beautiful two storied home that they had just brought free and clear together. Reese now had a prestigious job as a heart surgeon as one of the top hospitals in Atlanta. Reese had just welcomed home a beautiful baby girl named Katrina Reese. Darien was the godfather.

Reese stood at the end of the aisle next to the preacher dressed impeccably handsome in a black tuxedo with his six groomsmen behind him and the six bridesmaids dressed in beautiful blue gowns. When Reese saw him, he waved goofily to him. Darien waved back with a silent laugh. Reese then looked ahead and smiled.

The crowd turned in amazement as they saw Lakeisha walking down the aisle holding a bouquet of white roses dressed in a white tube dress that fell to her knees. She was now fifteen-years-old on the track team at her school and she was growing up so beautifully. She had beautiful cocoa skin with long flowing black hair. She had went through puberty and she no longer was the little girl that he knew in the hospital. Her body had developed into that of a young woman of about five foot seven In height with nice-sized breasts, an hourglass curvy shape with a bootyicilous behind that would give Jennifer Lopez a run for her money. Reese called him one day when he realized that his little girl had transformed into a beautiful young woman that boys were now lusting for. Mamoru simply laughed him and talked to him about the stages of puberty. Reese simply cursed him out before hanging up the phone on him.

She has the grade point average in her class, already had a full scholarship to Princeton where she wanted to go to undergrad in business then go to law school, had friends, was class president, and even had a cute boyfriend who adored her. Everyone stood as her mother Kia walked down the aisle with her father wearing a beautiful white Vera Wang gown and short veil covering her face. The DJ started playing the wedding march. Darien watched as Kia and Reese's eyes twinkled with love. Everyone was surprised when the preacher hanged over the microphone; and Reese took Kia's hands with his and began to sang Jamie Foxx's "The Day I Married My Angel." There was not a dry eye in the house, and Kia started to cry tears of happiness at Reese sung to her in his beautiful voice. Everyone cheered when the Reese kissed his wife and the preacher announced them as Dr. and Mrs. Quinton Reese. Everyone laughed.

"The DAY I MARRIED MY ANGEL LYRICS"

Well it's been 5 years,

Can't hold back my tears,

'Cause I'm just so happy,

I'm marrying an angel today,

As I take your hand,

I pledge to be your man,

I vow to love,

To hold,

To cherish,

And never disrespect the love we share,

I'll be honest I cannot lie,

There'll be real good days,

There'll be some bad times,

I'll be standing right beside you my sweet baby,

Me and my love of mine,

And you take this ring,

And I place it on your sweet lovely hand,

We will show our kids,

They will tell their kids what mom and daddy did,

On the day I married my angel

I love you my angel

The reception was fun and Darien laughed and danced with Reese's grandmother. They mostly played R&B love songs at the reception like Luther Vandross, Boys II Men, Brian Mcknight and so on. They danced line dances like the bus stop. They even convinced Darien to join in a few dances which he had no rhythm for. Kia became angry at Reese for a second when they were cutting the cake and smashed the cake in her face. She popped him with her fist playfully as everyone laughed. He pulled her in her arms whispering humorously on his lips as he kissed her smeared lips as they shared a sweet kiss, and everyone laughed as Kia sneakily smashed a piece of cake on side of Reese's face. Lakeisha and Darien chatted about her life so far. She said she enjoyed living in Atlanta so far and she was glad she had her own room now and a backyard. She bragged about how she recently won all state on her track team and how she was still a straight A student. Darien watched with a happy façade as he watched Kia and Reese slowed dance happily to Brian's Mcknight's "Still".

"Still"

Funny when you stop and think

Time goes faster than you blink

Nothing's ever like it was

but girl we've got a special thing

all the happiness it brings

is more than enough

I know it's hard to believe

You're still the biggest part of me

all I'm living for

I still think about you

I still dream about you

I still want you

and need you by my side

I'm still mad about you

all I ever wanted was you

your still the one [2x]

It's hard to breathe when were apart

You're like sunshine in my heart

I keep you here inside

you've been everything to me

you've been and always will be

the apple of my eye

And I know it's hard to believe

You're still the biggest part of me

all I'm living for

I still think about you

I still dream about you

I still want you

and need you by my side

I'm still mad about you

all i ever wanted was you

your still the one [2x]

If you love me

look into my eyes and say you do

I've been waiting all my life

for someone just like you

baby all that we've been through

Girl I'm still in love with you

and I want you to know I do, I do

I still think about you

I still dream about you

I still want you

and need you by my side

I'm still mad about you

all I ever wanted was you

your still the one [2x]

He watched Lakeisha danced with her boyfriend. He was apparently captain of the basketball team and one of the most popular boys in high school yet he was genius in math and stayed making the principal's lists. He was only fifteen and had scouts looking at him offering him full scholarships if he played college football with their football programs. He leaned over and whispered something in her ear causing her to laugh at him as he twirled her around. When Reese was not looking, he gave her a light kiss on the lips. She then smiled and placed her head on his shoulder as they continued to slow dance together. After the song, she walked off the dance floor back to Darien.

Lakeisha asked happily, "Can I introduce you to my mentor, Miss Williams?"

Before Darien could protest, she added," She is my favorite person in the world besides you, and she is single. She has a genius IQ like you, in her mid-twenties, college educated, a successful lawyer, beautiful home, no kids and she recently broke up with a boyfriend three months ago. She is wealthy too so you don't have to worry about her wanting you for your money. You two would make a good match. I hope you make a good first impression because she does not stay single for long so I am going to go get her before some other guy snags her up."

Darien's eyes widen as he tried to grab Lakeisha before she ran off but he could stop her. But he was too late. She was too fast for him. He sighed in dread of another woman hitting on him. He cursed God sometimes for making him so damn irresistible to women.

Many of the women at the reception were giving him obvious signs that they were interested at him. He had a couple in mind of who he would take to his hotel room tonight before he leave in the morning, but that was about it. He sighed in frustration as he sipped his glass of Patron as he stood off to the side as he felt a feminine hand tap his shoulder.

He then turned around and was mesmerized when he saw the beauty standing before him. He felt a familiar melody in the pocket. He dug out his star locket. It started playing. He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him that looked exactly like Serenity except her golden hair was in a roller wrap and shoulder length. Every strand was flawless. She was wearing a form fitting baby blue dress with a sweetheart neckline with matching heels, diamond earrings, and diamond pendant around her neck. Her dress accentuated her curvy figure, nice sized breasts and voluptuous, curvy behind and fell just below the knee. He had to stop himself from doodling in front of him. Serenity was the only woman that got this reaction out of him.

The woman said easily, "I am so sorry, but Lakeisha dragged me over." She turned to the crowd to see Lakeisha talking happily amongst her boyfriend and girlfriends from school. She smiled then shook her head and said, "I guess since Lakeisha is preoccupied we will have to introduce ourselves. I am Christina Williams but everyone calls me Chris." She held out her hand.

Darien said shaking it but never taking it his eyes off of hers, "I am Darien. Darien Shields, Reese is my best friend."

Christina laughed, "Yeah, Lakeisha told me. She talks about you nonstop after class that I feel like I know you myself."

Darien asked worriedly, "What did she say?"

Christina said after she politely accepted a glass of champagne from the waiter and taking a sip, "Well, your real name is Mamoru Chiba. You graduated from Harvard University at the top of your class, and now you are top surgeon at a prestigious hospital in Tokyo, Japan. You were married and you lost your wife two years ago. You need a good woman. Oh, and by the way, I already know that I am your type."

Darien laughed then said, "Is that so?"

Christina laughed then said playfully, "Yes, that is so. Lakeisha said that you are obsessed with skinny blondes with blue eyes just like your wife."

Darien said, "You're right. My wife was the love of my life. She broke my heart twice. The first time was when we broke up and the second time was when she died. I guess I have been looking for her in women but I become disappointed when I realized that they were not her."

Christina said, "If it was not for your looks or wealth, most women would labeled you as not dateable and that is a tad bit creepy also."

Darien asked gracefully, "Do you find me creepy?"

Christina hesitated for a second then asked with a smile, "It depends. What was her name?"

Darien said softly, "Serenity…"

Christina hesitated then said in shock, "That is creepy. That's my middle name. Christina Serenity Williams. Actually some of my girlfriends call me Serena too."

Darien looked intrigued then said, "Wow!"

Christina said, "I know."

Darien asked, "Can I take you to dinner tonight?"

Christina laughed, "Wow, you move quickly." When she saw a waiter passed by, she thanked him as she placed her half empty glass of champagne on his tray. She turned back to Darien brushing a golden strand of hair that had falling out of place behind her ear. She finally answered, "I have plans tonight, but I am available on tomorrow…Sunday night at six in the evening if you are not leaving or otherwise engaged." She looked at some of the women who were checking him out and frowning at her for standing next to him and getting him to talk to her.

Darien's eyes were still on her as she turned back to him. He smiled as their blue eyes locked once more then lied and answered a little too excited, "That's great! I was not planning on leaving until Monday morning anyway."

Christina smiled then said, "Then I guess you have a date, Mr. Shields or is it Mr. Chiba?"

Darien laughed, "Call me whatever you want."

Christina laughed and then walked away, Darien asked, "Hey, don't I need your number so that I can reach you?"

Christina said indifferently, "I'm sorry, but I do not give my personal number out to strangers, but you can give me yours." Darien smiled with glee as he put his number in her cell phone.

Darien then added with humor, "You know most women just bend over backwards to give me their numbers."

Christina smiled then said sweetly, "Well, Mr. Shields, good thing I am not like most women then. Good day, Darien."

He softly added with warmth in his dreamy blue eyes, "Good day, Serenity." She stopped in her tracks and turned her head over her shoulder and gave him one last enticing smile then she started to walk again.

Darien gave her a handsome smile as he admired her beautiful figure stylishly walking away from him and disappearing into the crowd as quickly as she appeared before him. Lakeisha looked at him across the room with a big smile. She gave him thumbs up. He did the same. They laughed at each other. Darien Shields had come back to life, and his precious Serenity had found a way back to him. She then turned back around and smiled happily up at her boyfriend as he placed a hand around her shoulder and lightly kissed the top of her hair as she snuggled closer to him and rested her head on his chest.

Darien smiled at the scene. Now, that he finally broke Beryl's curse with the death of Aries and her shadow, Kuroki Mio, he made a new promise to himself. He was going to make the captivating beauty that was Christina Serenity Williams fall in love with him all over again and make her his wife once more. He looked down at his hand and continued to listen to the soothing melody of the star locket playing. He exhaled in happiness as a genuine smile formed on his lips. All was well again in his life.

THE END
