Epilogue

1 year later

It was a happy day in Crystal Tokyo. The four Inner Sailors were marrying the four Generals of King Darien that glorious day. The sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky, so they decided to have it in the town square, so the people could see it happen. The four Outer Sailors and Princess Rini were bridesmaids, and King Darien and Queen Serenity were going to perform the ceremony for them. The people of Earth were ecstatic with joy.

But that joy was nothing compared to the looks of the four Inner Sailors walked down the isle, Amy in her blue silk dress and pearls of the sea around her neck, Mina in her dress that was as bright as the sun and the orange topaz that was on her wrist, Lita in her the dress that matched her eyes perfectly and the emerald pendant that had been given to her just the night before, and finally Raye, in a ruby red dress that matched her temper with rubies weaved into the fabric.

Serenity smiled at the sight of her friends so happy. She also smiled because she knew their secrets. Mina, Amy, Raye, and Lita were pregnant. Darien knew as well, for they had both seen the glow of motherhood, Serenity in herself and Darien in his wife.

At that moment, the four girls arrived and were now on the arms of their beloved. Giving them each one last smile, Serenity and Darien started the ceremony.


Mina/Kunzite: Two days after the new year, Mina presented Kunzite with twins, a girl and a boy, who were named Harmony and Eros. Over the years, their love grew for one another, and they had another little girl, named, appropriately enough, Aphrodite. At the end of their lives, Kunzite died, leaving Mina heartbroken. She followed him a week later.

Amy/Zoisite: In February of the same year, Amy bore a son to Zoisite, making him ecstatic, and thus naming him Hermes. Two years later, they had a girl, who was called Melody. Like in most families, Hermes became a Mama's little warrior and Melody became a Daddy's little girl. Many years later, Amy died and Zoisite followed her a month later.

Raye/Jedite: Not a week after the birth of Hermes, Raye gave birth to a little girl, who was named Coral, for her eyes, as they were the color of sea coral. Four years later, she gave birth to twin boys, Aries and Chad. Raye's temper never faded as the years wore on, and Jedite was able to meet it head on. Obviously, Raye and Jedite had a happy marriage for the most part. When Jedite died, Raye lost all meaning in her life, but stayed in the land of the living for a year before she finally gave up completely.

Lita/Nephlite: One month after the birth of Coral, twins Hera and Elora came into the world for Nephlite and Lita. They were the only two children they had, but the two girls were spoiled shamelessly by their parents. When the twins turned seventeen, Nephlite was killed in a shuttle crash, causing Lita to withdraw from her public life. She followed him after five years.

Corrine/Nerissa: These two never married, but they did adopt a three little triplet infants, naming them Ariel, Terra, and Triton. Though they were adopted, at the time of Corrine and Nerissa's death, they were named heir to the planets Uranus and Neptune. Still, the two best friends lived long and healthy lives, outliving all of the Sailors, except Pluto of course.

Celia (Pluto): A year after the marriages of the four Inner Sailors, Celia married Duke John Patterson. Despite her larger life span, she was determined to have a family. Eventually they had a son named Hades. Twenty-one years later, John died from cancer and Celia returned to the Gate of Time to resume her duties, leaving her son as the Prince of Pluto. She was never heard from again for a long time.

Hotaru: The youngest Sailor married five years after the marriage of the Inner Sailors to Captain Harold Malachi. A year later, they had a little girl, who was named Miranda. Hotaru, who had never been physically healthy, died ten years later, the first Sailor to die. She was sorely missed by all, especially by Rini.

As for Serenity and Darien, over the years, they had two more children, a son and then another daughter. Though Darien was proud of his other two children, Rini and Endymion, and loved them dearly, little Cassandra gripped his heart in her tiny hand the first time he looked down and saw his wife's smile and eyes. The years were good to them, but their later years were etched in sorrow. Endymion died in a boating accident when he turned eighteen. Despite this, Serenity and Darien survived. Many years later, Serenity fell ill and was bedridden for nine months. Darien stayed beside her at all times. One morning, Rini and Cassandra entered the room and found her mother lying against the pillows with a contented look upon her face, and her father's head resting on her hand, a smile on his face as well.





The book slowly closed. It lay in the ruins of an old castle, the location unknown. The book was old and thinly worn from continuous use. Despite the way it looked, inside was the best story of all time. There was no one left alive to know who wrote such a beautiful tale, if that is even what it was. Even so, it was the most precious object any family could ever own. It was the story of happiness, despair, and hope. Hope of love returning, even after thousands of years, despair that a dear friend would be lost forever, and happiness when everything turned out alright. In the end, all that mattered was that they basically lived happily ever after, even in the midst of unbearable sorrow...


OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! IT'S FINISHED! Yay! I can't believe it! I originally worked on it for about 3 months, then I recently did a bunch of revisions on it! Did anyone besides me enjoy it? Tell me in a review please! I would really like to know people's opinion!
