SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 23 out, this is Chapter 24 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Pairings: Mainly Tieria/Sasha, Allelujah/Marie, Lockon Jr./Anew, Billy/Sumeragi, Patrick/Kati

Standard BS Disclaimers: I do not own Sailor Moon, Gundam 00 or the pairings. If I did, the other Senshi would be as powerful as Sailor Moon and kicking MOTD ass more often and VEDA would have least an anti-hacker program installed. The only thing I do own is the plot.

Chapter 24: Mask

One week before Christmas Eve...

"A masquerade ball?" Sasha gave Endymion a look, the other Senshi were shooting the King similar looks of varying impassiveness. "Really?"

"All in the holiday season, right?" the Earth Prince chuckled nervously.

Afterwards...

"Is he serious?" the gathered he Ptolemaios and Infinity crew echoed in unison after Sasha informed them of Endymion's plans.

"Does he want to recreate the masquerade balls back during the Silver Millennium?" Allelujah muttered.

One week later...

The interior of the main ballroom was truly a sight to behold. The walls and floor were marble, giant crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and a live orchestra sat at the front of the room, playing elegant dance tunes that sounded like they were from the Victorian era. Dozens of guests with jeweled masquerade masks were whirling and twirling to the heavenly music.

"Endymion-sama really went all out, didn't he?" Billy took a sip from his champagne flute. "Kujō," he held out a hand to Sumeragi. "May I?"

"Was about time those two got together." Lockon remarked, bringing a pregnant Anew a slice of gingerbread.

"Hey, Argyrios!" Lasse was pulled to the dance floor by his girlfriend.

Tieria turned to Sasha and held out a hand.

Allelujah watched as the couple's dancing became more fluid and graceful, to the point where Tieria decided to try spinning Sasha and lowering her into his arms. Sasha was slightly taken aback by her lover's bold move, but by this point, it just felt natural to her.

"Those two..." Marie smiled lightly at her future sister-in-law and the purple-haired pilot.

"Marie," Allelujah blushed, holding out his hand. "Shall we?"
