They say there is only one way in life to be happy. "To love and be loved."
Tsukiko and Hoshi gave Chibiusa not only life, but acceptence and a future together with them. All celestial, symbols started glowing one by one every senshie felt and gave energy for her to live. A bright pink light emerged and struck down on the small child and was sealed in the Pink Moon Crystal. Chibiusa' s ghostly figure slowly changed into Sailor Chibi Moon.
"My gosh, Haruka look at her Crystal." Neptune wasn't holding back on to her tears anymore.
"Yes it's beautiful."she looked away trying to hide the fact, that she was kind of impressed by the way everything turned out in the end.
"Chibiusa -chan!" Hotaru was so glad to see her she ran next to her and gave her friendly hug. Actually everyone was happy that she was okay. All the senshies went to greet her. Usagi got closer to her knelt down in front of her to meet her level. She raised her hands brushing away the her curly locks without saying anything.
"Usagi!" she jumped in her mother's arms.
"I love you too!" she whispered in her ear."I'm glad that you are safe. I'm sorry!"
"It's alright I guess. She saved me!"
"Yes she did!"she smiled at Tsukiko. That's when she understood how much love Usagi can give and that she will not love her any less.
"Well I'm kind of drained." she said.
"You?"Hoshi questioned what she was saying.
"Yes me!"
"I had to protect the whole world from your power."said Hoshi.
"Well stop that. It's not fair!" Tsukiko give him a quick reply.
"No, you stop it!" Hoshi reposted.
"I don't like you!"
"Well me neither."
"Huh!"they both turned away from each other.
"Oh no!They are at it again." Akira and Natsuko got in between the two who were arguing all the way.
"Were should we go? To the shrine?" asked Usagi turning to the Starlight.
"We should..I know I would die just to sleep with you again, Odango!"she whispered with a sexy voice, but Haruka interrupted their sexy moment.
"Kineko-san... Tomorrow is your wedding day, what are you going to do...?"
"We have to talk about this Usako!"Mamoru sounded serius as always.
"Mamo-chan I... really think we should talk. Seiya?"
"Yes?"she got closer to her getting a grup on her hand.
"I will be right back."she gave her a look that said it all. Seiya was aware that the two of them had to many things to clear up.
"Odango...Sure go ahead."she gave her a small kiss on her cheek. A tint a pink appeared on Usagi's cheek everytime.
Usagi and Mamoru were walking next to each other, but they were not holding hands like lovers do.
"I think this rock will do!"said Usagi sitting down."I'm glad this is over. I was exhausted."
"Sure!Tomorrow there won't be any wedding."
"Do you mean that?"
"I do. I realized so many things these tyo days, one thing was that I was absolutely jealous and ego bruised. It was hard for me to except that your heart wasn't mine anymore."
"Mamo-chan.. Do you believe me when I say that I really loved you. We have been thru so much together, but somehow along the way, this we were meant to be thing started to be a burdon, rather than a blessing."
"I feel the same way! I remember evil trying to separate us ,it never could. We always managed to get thru everything."
"Seiya never meant to separate us. She respected my feelings for you, but I had to admit seeing her again made me realize how much I have missed her and how much I loved her." Chibiusa noticed her parents talking. She got closer and hugged them.It shilould have been an ideal family picture.
"We are sorry for all this situation.It must be hard for you to see us like this, separated. "
"It is, but I can force you to be together. But...Mamo-chan you will always be my daddy." said Chibiusa.
"Of course he is and I am your mom, nothing could ever change that ,but now we have some extra family members who will join us throughout our lives."
"When ever you need me.. I'm here."Mamoru assured Chibiusa understand his love didn't change."We should go. Everyone is tired."he suggested solemly. His eyes were looking tired. This period of uncertainty caused him nightmares, he hoped he could finally get some sleep.
Mamoru got up and joined Setsuna on the journey home. He held her by the hand all the way. The eldest senshie was the wisest, but a small blush appeared on her cheeks as they hands touched and fingers interlaced.
"Usagi? Is she angry?"
"Who?"
"Seiya..She seems like a nice person and when you are around her your eyes light up. You must really love her then."
"I do. And no she is not angry. She knows how important my children are to me."
"Good! Look there's Hotaru and the girls can I join them?"
"Sure."
Usagi watched all of them from a distance and her heart was slowly getting rid of all the anxiety, uncertainties she felt these past few days.Hope and relaxation rules over her soul. Finally this time she can be happy with her decision.It was late , time picked up it's pace."Time passes by quickly when we are happy."
"Odango come on let's go!"
"I'm coming with you!"
Thanks to Sailor teleport everyone arrived safely to the shrine.
"So how are we going to sleep here? We don't have so many rooms."
"Me and Michiru are going home relax."
"Will you let Hotaru-chan stay?"Chibiusa starred up at Haruka.
"I guess."
"Thanks!"
"I will be on my way too." said Setsuna."These were surely rarely adventurous days."
"You are right. I will take you home." Mamoru offered to take her home."If you don't mind of course."
"No, I mean thank you! But a kiss from my Princesses and Prince."
"Sure!" the first one was Chibiusa who kissed her and instantly ran to Hotaru.
"Bye Pu!"
"Princess!"
"Pu..I mean Sestsuna I mean Pluto...Uhmmm..."she felt awkward.
"Thank you!" she hugged her tight. "Both of you."
"You are welcome!" she gave her a hug and they left.
"Okay this way we can get some sleep."
"I have an idea!"
"You and your ideas!" said Hoshi.
"What?This is a great one!"
"Let's hear it!"
"We should have a sleep over. I mean, us , Chibiusa, Hotaru-chan and the girls. We can bring food, goodies.."said Tsukiko.
"Great idea." The kids were now in their own and prepared for the sleepover party.
"Where is Minako and Yaten?"
"I don't know!But we are tired too."said Taiki and me and Aino -san have an important issue to discuss by the way.
"Sure!" said Rei smirking.
"Mako-chan come on stay we need you in the morning." said Usagi.
"Why?" she asked raising an eyebrow when she noticed that Usagi was begging.
"Tomorrow Tsukiko and Hoshi are turning eighteen and we need one of your delicious cakes I hought we could surprise them."
"How do you know it's their birthday?"Rei gave her a questioning look.
"Remember Hoshi said that on my wedding day, they were supposed to be eighteen and celebrate the coming of the rule of the new Princess."
"Ohhh...okay. I guess I could do that!But I really need some sleep."she admitted honestly.
"Me too! Let's go!Good Night guys!Be good!"pointed out Rei.
"Thank you!We will." promised Usagi.
"Speak for yourself Odango!"
"What do you mean?"she had hunch what she wanted to do.
"This will be special night!"
"Why?"
" It's a surprise! I hope you will like it!"
"Come on Seiya tell meeee...Seiya!"the Starlight started walking away leaving jer behind."Don't teas me!"
"No way, you will love it."
"What if I won't?"Usagi pretended to be a bit offended.
"I haven't been thinking of what if you won't, but I'm sure you will."Seiya was confident as always.
"Is it a good thing?"
"For me it will mean the world...if you say yes!"she tried to give her a hint l, but it was useless.
"Yes? What do you mean?" Seiya smiled at how naive she was, but she loved the way she looked at the world.
This will turn out to be a long night!Will she pop the question?
