Chibi Scouts Return

Chibi Scouts Return

Princess Selenity looked around the abandoned Moon Kingdom. "Queen Serenity..? Mother, where are you?" She looked once more all around the surroundings before stepping into the Palace after seeing no sight of anyone. As she called out again into the empty darkness of the Palace, an over-whelming sadness hit her as the only reply back she heard was of her own echo. She shook the idea off and looked around once more. "Mother..? Please..please answer me..please be here..Mother? Where are you? Where did you go?" A soft hand layed upon Selenity's shoulder as she turned around. Selenity..she's not here..she's...." Princess Ami started to say. "No! She can't! She's not! She's here, I'm sure of it!" Princess Serena cried as she ran down the hall as the darkened rows of columns on either side gave her a sad filled greeting. Princess Selenity fled down the hall, coming to a stop as she peered into the dark, empty room of the ballroom where at one time, had been filled with bright laughter and soft music. But now, now, it was dark and empty. Much like her heart that new the truth of where Queen Serenity, her mother, was. She didn't accept it, she never would because it wasn't true. She knew that somewhere, and sometime, the light of the Palace would relive. She fled down every part of the Palace until she saw a shadowy figure weeping on the rail on the balcony. Her heart skipped a beat as she ran towards the shadow, "M-mother?" But as the shadow turned, her heart dropped. "Luna..what-what are you doing here?" Luna stood, wiping the remains of her tears away. "Princess...your mother..she's.." "No," Princess Serena yelled. "She's not! She's not..." She shuddered. "She's not dead..Luna. It can't be..she lives for ever.." Luna sighed as she looked over her shoulder at the deathly silence of the Moon. When she spoke, she spoke softly, "There was no purpose for her to continue living..she didn't need to tell us of guarding the universe. But for she'll never be truly gone..as long as this Palace remains, she'll remain," Luna looked back towards Selenity whom had let her tears fall. Regardless of her will. "Don't cry..Princess. She'll never, ever be truly gone..Just remember that..Please. For the sake of your friends and her.." Queen Serenity materialized as an image infront of her daughter. "Selenity.." She said. "Please don't cry..for I'm not needed here anymore," She looked over at Luna. "However, it was a tough decision for me to make..but, I have decided that the guardian cats will gain control of this Palace. They will take the role of me in that sence." "Does that mean the Chibi Scouts' guardians too?" Princess Mercury asked as she walked onto the balcony. Queen Serenity shook her head, "No, the Chibi Scouts' guardians will stay with them always. They're far too young to be left alone. It would be many years before they could have the decision of leaving the Chibi Scouts. But even then, I don't think they would. But Serena...don't fear for the Palace..it will be in the same good condition that it was when I ruled it. Luna, Artemis, and Diana will keep it in the same good shape that it was in. I'm sure of it. All you have to do is enjoy the rest of your life in peace, my daughter. Please neither of you fear my absentness..Good bye.." She said as the image faded away. "Mother! No! Don't go!" Princess Serena cried. She stared at the place where the image of her mother once was for a while before she turned around to face Luna, "Luna...please take good care of this Palace.." She said as she ran out of the balcony and through the doors of the Palace. Princess Serena stopped at the edge of the Moon. Gazing out at the universe before her. Not just the Palace..but the Moon itself will be ruled by Luna, Artemis, and Diana. She thought. Neo Queen Selenity kept gazing out at the universe even when she heard the voice of Princess Rei. There was a short sigh before she spoke, "Selenity..the Moon is a reminder of Queen Serenity..though Luna and the others will be ruling this Palace now it still won't forget Queen Serenity..she'll always remain.." Princess Serena turned towards Princess Rei, tears welling up in her eyes once more. "Thank you..and..I will try to live the rest of my life happily..just like the Queen said.." Serena than felt a light tug on her hair as she looked down, "Mama, everything will be okay again.." Princess Rini smiled. Queen Selenity smiled back. "I know, Rini..Everything will.." As Princess Serena turned around, a black-purple light ran past as Princess Hotaru grabbed for Princess Rini's hand, "Come on!" She giggled. "The Chibis returned!" They ran towards the other edge of the Moon as everyone else ran after them. There they stopped. When the other Princesses caught up to them they watched in wonder as a bright pearl colored crystal lit up in a golden aura and a planet began to appear under the golden light. The crystal slowly vanished as the golden planet glowed brilliantly in the sky. The colors of the Chibi Scouts than emerged from the Earth as they landed on the golden planet. Princess Serena watched closely as a thought soon struck her. "This must be the Chibi Scouts' planet.." Princess Lita nodded. "Yeah, and probably, they'll have a kingdom just like we do on our planet." "But I wonder," Princess Mina said. "Will there be children of the Chibi Scouts? Chibi Chibi Scouts?" "Perhaps. But I doubt it since it had taken a while for the Negaverse to attack again." Princess Michiru shrugged. "Or maybe they're forever scared to attack again." Princess Haruka laughed. Princess Setsuna shook her head as she spoke, "No..the universe is at peace now..the Negaverse shall attack no more.." "But Hotaru..how did you know the Chibi Scouts were returning?" Queen Selenity asked. Princess Hotaru looked up at her and giggled, "I could sense it. I am the soilder of death and rebirth," She looked over at the new, glowing planet. "And an appearance of a planet is like it has been born." Princess Serena looked over to Princess Rei. "Oh great, another Rei.." She said as she hid a laugh. "And what's that suppose to mean, Princess?!?" Rei asked. Queen Selenity started laughing, "No-nothing Rei!!
