A lesson in chance epilogue

Epilogue

The Ending of this story,

And the Beginning of all the others.

-Okay, so it's not a song, it's the name of the last chapter in C.S. Lewis' "The Magician's Nephew". I like the Chronicles of Narnia. Is that a wrong?

Ami woke up to Touma's very worried face looking into her own. She squinted and she could barely make out that she was in an emergency room. How'd she get out of the Dynasty? Why did her head hurt so much? Was she right about Rubbeus' plan? Touma smiled and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"How're you feeling?" he asked. She shrugged weakly.

"I have one hell of a headache." He smiled wider and nodded.

"That's probably from where Rubbeus hit you." She tried to look around but her head hurt too much.

"How'd I get out of there?" she asked. Touma shrugged.

"I think Makoto got you out initially, and Minako was the one who found us fighting. " She smiled.

"You'll never believe what they tried to do to us-" Touma's finger on her lips silenced her.

"Minako and Makoto told me about it. Pretty nasty trick if you ask me. They also told how you saw through it." Ami blushed.

"I knew you'd never join the dynasty." He leaned down and kissed her.

"Never."

Usagi hugged Ami when she came out of the hospital a few days later.

"Glad to see you Ami." Ami laughed.

"Like you didn't see me every day." Seiji smiled.

"She just means she's happy to see you out. For a while there, we were sure you were going to make it." Ami smiled and pet Luna and Artemis.

"Seiji, such little faith you have in me. I'm a Sailor Scout. Of course I'll pull through." Shin smiled.

"Well, ye did give us quite a scare." Ami giggled.

"Nice to know you care." Then she noticed that Ryo was holding Rei around the waist. She raised an eyebrow, and Rei blushed. She shrugged. She'd get details later. Touma hugged her and turned to Shou.

"You said something about ice cream, Shou?" Shou and Usagi both nodded. Touma smiled.

"Lead the way, bud." Shou and Usagi nodded again and set off at nearly jogging speed, with everyone else walking. Mamoru sighed.

"Sure is a great day." Luna nodded.

"Yes. Very nice. Especially now that everyone's well again." Rei blushed.

"Well, not completely. My side's still not too good, and I doubt Mamoru's back will ever be the same again." Luna smiled.

"Okay, I stand corrected." Everyone laughed as they all headed towards the ice cream store.

Rajura looked up groggily from his bed. His ice pack had melted. Bertie noticed it and rose to get him a new one. When she came over, he grabbed her arm, pulling her down. Bertie blushed when his lips met hers. This wasn't like the one earlier. This one was for real. In the midst of the kiss, she inadvertently dropped the ice pack, and the two of them stayed there like that for some time.

Afternote: Hoped you enjoyed my story. The last two chapters are the sign of the lazy writer, but I like the very ending, you know, This one ^. Leaves it to the reader's imagination, at least until my next Fanfic. Until then, in the immortal words of Usagi, I'm Outie!!! =^)

(OMG, wasn't that just scrumptious?? I, for one, LOVED IT. Brings back old memories. Well, this was the beginning of the Sailormoon/Samurai Troopers fics that you all now know and love. There were others before this, but this was the earliest and least corrupted file. And it really is the beginning. Well, tell me what ya think. READ AND REVIEW, PEOPLE!!((onegai!)) Ja ne, minna!)
