In God's Hands: Graduation of Chibi Moon
Hiya minna-chan. it's meeh. Dessy! ^.~
This is actually Book Four. I'll get the first three up later (after I finish them). But for now, I will post In God's Hands. Enjoy! Note: When you see the ":)" that is me interrupting the story to say something important. Like an author's note... Get it?
Small Lady Serenity stood in the glistening sunlight of the planet Earth. She of course was princess of this beautiful planet. She was the small lady of Crystal Tokyo, also known as the moon princess. Her mother was Neo Queen Serenity and her father was King Endymion. She watched the ships going back and forth between the Earth and the Moon. Recreation of the Moon Kingdom was now underway. After so many years, Serenity and Mamoru had finally found the time to begin rebuilding Serenity's first home. The wind rippled through her long pink hair. Her pale pink dress blew in the wind along with her hair. Her red eyes glistened in the light of the day. She smiled her wonderful happy smile, eyes full of mischief. The Small Lady wasn't small anymore. She was fourteen years old now. Today was to be the ceremony where she would receive the Empyrean Silver Crystal, and become Sailor Moon. She had been Chibi Moon long enough now. Today was her fourteenth birthday. She anxiously awaited her friends, especially June, Celia, Parah, and Vaesah, who were of course, the asteroid soldiers who she would often lead into battle after being inducted as their leader. She was Princess Serenity Gabrianna Chiba.
"Reenie!"
She looked behind her and smiled. There was her cousin and best friend.
Destiny threw her arms around Reenie, and embraced her tightly. "I'm so glad to see you cousin."
Reenie smiled brightly. "Destiny... You're so early."
Destiny was thirteen years old. In August, when she turned fourteen, she too, would be inducted, as a senshi leader. She had shoulder length silvery blonde hair, with hints of gold in it. Her head had perfectly shaped five point star odangoes. Two very thin strips hung down to her knees from these odangoes. Her skin was very fair, and her eyes were thick lashed and shone with the hue of violet. She wore a dress of the same hue, silver pearls holding her dress up at her bosom, and a silver band around her waist. The bow attached to her dress was shaped like a pair of faery wings. The girl wore satin slippers. She was the girl destined to someday be coronated as the Star Princess, the heiress to the Crystillian Empire. She was Princess Destiny Katrina Isamu.
"Today is the day Reenie. You will become the leader of the Milky Way senshi."
"Your time comes shortly. We are growing up so fast Dessy."
"I agree. Why... Soon, in a few years, I will be engaged. And then when I am married..."
"You will become queen. I have quite a long time to wait before I can become queen."
Dessy felt her silken pale pink dress. "It matches your hair."
"I know... I am known by all as the pink princess. Lovely name for me, isn't it?"
"Just about all of you is pink though. Your hair, your dress, even your eyes have a little pink in them. Your sailor fuku is pink. You even have a bit of a pink flush on your face."
Reenie laughed. "Oh Dessy. Remember that vow we made so long ago, that when we were sworn in as sailor senshi, that you would call me Serenity, and I would call you Destiny?"
"Yes. I remember it well."
"Please do not start calling me Serenity Des. It'll make me feel old..."
"Reenie... We are all old. We are now as old as the sky, old as the moon. We are both, about... Well, in Earth years, thanks to the One Thousand Year Ice, we are both 914 years old."
"Yes... But still. After the Ice melted away, and all was well again... Oh Destiny... We were only infants."
Dessy nodded.
"So much has changed... It is strange, how mother and father was able to convince the whole planet to abandon individual monarchies, and democracies, and communism, in place of one person ruling the Earth."
"Your mother and father are kind people... Aunt Serenity saved the universe, after all."
Reenie nodded. "
"And soon Reenie, you will have that chance."
"We will be partners in battle Dessy... Promise me we will. That whenever we can, we can fight together."
"I promise Reenie... At least, until..."
"Until what cousin?"
"Until you find the soul mate you are destined to fight with. I will find mine too."
"Oh Dessy... Who would ever want to marry me?"
"There are many, my dear cousin."
"I am so glad I no longer have to wear those awful sleeves..." Reenie smiled at her bare shoulders.
"I just always wore empress pumps. I always thought they gave a bit of a Japanese look to my dress."
"Will those three awful girls be here Dessy?"
"You mean the Glossiah trio?"
Reenie nodded.
Dessy nodded solemnly. "But... We can just ignore them. They'll be too caught up in chasing every half decent guy they can find, to try and talk to us. Reenie, how about we spent your last afternoon as chibi senshi, and transform and play in the garden for awhile?"
Reenie grinned. "Sure." She held up her transformation locket. "Moon Prism Power, Make Up!"
Dessy held up hers as well. "Star Pearl Power, Make Up!"
Reenie became the senshi, Chibi Moon.
Dessy became Chibi Star.
"Come on Dessy! Last one to the garden's a Hell Keeper Lover!"
"Ack!" Dessy struggled to keep up with Reenie.
Reenie laughed and got ahead.
"Leo!"
The soft puff of fluffy cloud swooped down from the sky and picked Dessy up.
While passing Reenie, she grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up.
"Yay!" yelled Reenie as she was pulled onto the cloud and lifted into the air.
Dessy giggled as the two girls soared through the air on a cloud.
"This is fun!"
The two chibis flew through the clouds, until finally, they were tired.
Dessy commanded Leo to land.
The two girls clambered off of the cloud, exhausted.
"Oh Reenie... We shouldn't have played around so much. You're all tired now."
Reenie laughed. "You have a pretty little bit of a blush on your face."
Dessy laughed also. "So do you cousin."
Reenie smiled. "This is the life."
"Guys!"
They turned to see a girl with long chestnut hair in a ponytail running toward them. She had large aqua eyes and a bright smile. A rainbow highlight was evident in her hair. Her glorious mane reached her waist. Her skin was honey tinted, tanned from the weather in the city of Atlantis. Her dress was blue, and it blew in the wind with the beauty of a forget-me-not. This was Princess Danielle Cassandra Sanctamonia. She had been a senshi leader since she was able to fight as a little girl, as there were no elders to guide her as a chibi. She was the oldest of the three girls.
"Dani!"
"Hi guys! I wanted to come early so I could make sure all the good seats weren't taken. Des, you're here too?"
"Of course. I wouldn't have missed this for the world."
"Your time is only in a few months Des. Of course the journey from Neptune to Harmonia would take a lot longer but... Ya know."
"Yeah. I hardly ever see you dressed up. Reenie, do you have a camera?"
"Stop it you guys!"
Destiny laughed.
"Well girls, we should head in."
"Reenie, will they want us in our soldier forms?"
"No. Only me and the other four."
"Reenie... Who will take the place of Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru?"
"Jade will eventually take Michiru's place. I dunno about Haruka and Hotaru."
"Well we've got to have a Uranus and Saturn. Haruka-chan may not have time, her being the supreme ruler of Uranus and all."
Reenie sighed. "And although she would never admit it... Haruka is what now... thirty-five? She's getting old..."
Danielle frowned. "That's not old. Old is when you're all wrinkly and your hair is getting all nasty and stringy and you start actin all mean and proper and talk about everyone you can..."
"That must mean that Mary and Amber are old..."
Danielle laughed. "Yeah... Jackie's not that bad."
"Reenie... Are you afraid?"
"Of what?"
"Of becoming Sailor Moon. The leader of one of the most powerful and well-known warrior groups in the universe. And you'll have the Ginzuishou."
"I... Know..." Reenie sighed. "I guess I am a little scared."
"Hey... Where are Celia, Parah, June, and Vaesah?"
"Should they have been here by now?"
"Yes... They should have," said Reenie. "I told them to come early. I really wasn't expecting you two."
"Did you not want us to come?" asked Danielle. "'Cause me and Des could just leave and hang out on Neptune for awhile."
"No, that's okay. You two are good company since the others aren't here."
"We're gonna need replacements for Haruka and Hotaru soon. Sure, Hotaru has her glaive, but she's growing older... And her condition never improved. She was about eleven when you went back into the past, wasn't she?"
Reenie nodded. "She's in her early thirties."
"Her star seed will be reborn though."
"Reenie... Who all is going to be there, besides the other soldiers, and your family?"
"I believe Kakyuu will be there. And the Starlights. Thank God she won't be there," Reenie thankfully muttered under her breath.
"Huh? Who Reenie?"
"Sailor Nemesis."
"Who?"
"Nemesis..." Dessy's eyes went blank. "Nemesis..."
"There's a soldier for that place?"
Reenie nodded. "All planets have soldiers."
"I have a question... Why didn't the children of the original soldiers protect you, instead of awakening the asteroid soldiers?"
"Well... The asteroid soldiers had a reason for being there in the first place. They were created to protect me."
"Don't they have parents? Family?"
Reenie shook her head. "None that they can speak of. And about the children of the original fabulous four... What children?"
"Well, you got a good point."
"They still have time to produce children. I heard a rumor, anyway."
"A rumor?"
"I heard my mother and father talking... They think that Minako is pregnant."
"Mina!? Pregnant?!"
Reenie nodded. "If it's a girl... It would be the next soldier of Venus."
"Well... That's seven out of nine we don't have to worry about."
"Huh?"
"We already have a Sailor Moon... Which is pretty much the same as Sailor Earth. We have the four protectors, Juno, Ceres, Vesta, and Pallas. Pluto we won't have to worry about, because Setsuna is immortal, and doesn't age. Neptune we don't have to worry about, because Jade will become a soldier in a few years. We have to worry about Uranus and Saturn."
Dessy sighed. "And we need at least nine soldiers for the Milky Way..."
"Dessy... What about you?"
"Huh?"
Suddenly Reenie's eyes grew happy. "There they are!"
The four asteroid soldiers stood a distance away, waving at Reenie."
"Hi guys!"
They ran up to her, and started buzzing around Reenie as if she was a queen bee.
"Reenie, we're so happy to see you!" Parah cried out.
Reenie hugged Parah. "Good to see you too."
"Well today, we become honorary seera senshi." Vaesah smirked.
"It's scary, I think," said Celia. "We'll have to do a lot of fighting. A lot more then what we're used to."
"Our training will get us through," said June. "Only God knows how much time we spent training together."
"Wait..." Celia eyed Dessy. "Who's she?"
"You don't know who this is?" asked Reenie.
"We know Danielle," said June. "But who's this?"
"Hey, wait a sec." Vaesah stared at Dessy's forehead. "Look at this you three. It's the mark of Harmonia."
"Princess Destiny?"
Dessy nodded.
"Oh, I get it! You're Reenie's cousin!"
"Yep."
"Hey Des, I never did get to ask you my question."
"What question Dani?"
"When you become a senshi... Who will you lead?"
"Well... I don't really know."
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"I really don't. I know it'll be a group. But rules are rules... I'm not allowed to meet them until the day I am inducted."
"That sucks! You got to learn to get along and stuff first, know how to fight together! How are you going to know how to fight together, when you don't know each other?"
Dessy shrugged. "I'm going to be the first Crystillian in history to have a group to lead."
"Reenie, didn't you say every planet had a soldier?"
Reenie nodded.
"Then the answer is simple," said Vaesah. "You'll lead the soldiers in your galaxy."
"Sailor Glossiah, Sailor Trinisiah, and Sailor Blaire."
"Shit... That's not good."
"What do you mean?"
"One of those three girls will become senshi of Glossiah."
"Oh shit..."
"Well... It'll probably be Mary. She's the oldest."
"And the most stuck up."
"There'll be an up side to that though Des. You will be her leader. Mary will have to do whatever you say. She will have to obey your every wish and whim. Whether she likes it or not." Danielle smirked.
"That could be good..." Dessy smiled, as un-princess like thoughts of torture ran through her mind.
Reenie looked at the afternoon sun. "It'll soon be time to go get cleaned up and ready."
"The ceremony begins at the rising of the moon," said Danielle. "We have awhile."
"Not really. Not when you think about dinner and stuff."
"Who needs dinner?" asked Reenie. "Think of all the goodies that everyone will get to eat after the ceremony."
"Did they make your favorite Reenie?"
Reenie grinned. "Yep. Vanilla pudding, with the strawberries and pink food coloring."
"Sounds yummy," said Parah, who was playing with her dolls.
"Parah, what are you doing?!"
"Playing with my dollies."
"Can't you give those stupid things up!?"
"No!" Parah glared at June. "I'm emotionally attached to them!"
"I oughta take every single one of those things, and rip off their heads and bury them," muttered June.
"Guys, we should get inside. It's only a few hours 'til sunset."
They all nodded.
"Danielle, where are your sisters and brother?"
Danielle shrugged. "They'll be here later. I'm supposed to save them a seat."
"Danielle, how did you become Sailor Atlantis?"
"I was originally supposed to become Sailor Neptune in place of Michiru when she married and got too overworked to carry out her duties as a senshi. That would mean, if it hadn't been for what happened, I would have been being inducted as Sailor Neptune right now."
"That may have worked out better then having Jade being inducted separately from the rest of us," said Celia.
"Well... See... Atlantis... Atlantis is a city, okay..."
"Yeah, we know. So?"
"Well, ya know how you have Chi-Chi, being Sailor Paradicius, of Harmonia's moon?"
"Yeah."
"See, she's kind of like a branch off of you. Well... There was this monster... Attacking Atlantis. I was there that day. This thing was strong... I felt a strange power within me. I was only about... Six years old. I saw my sister fight. I watched her use her mirror, her senshi powers. I watched her in her sailor fuku, her graceful movements as she battled the youma. I knew that someday, I would become the soldier of Neptune. But I couldn't stand it. Michi-chan wasn't holding the monster off too well. I was seeing the capitol city of Atlantis being destroyed, and there was nothing I could do. Suddenly, I started glowing an aqua blue... My mother saw it happen. Then suddenly... For no reason at all... I just yelled, Atlantis Tsunami Power, Make-Up! And then... I became Sailor Atlantis. It was strange... I just let out this huge burst of energy and destroyed the youma. From then on... I was known as Sailor Atlantis. Kind of a branch off of Neptune. 'Cept pretty much now, there is no Sailor Neptune."
"Jeez... Well, we don't have any great history as to how we became senshi. It's the same story pretty much."
"Well your poor mother just had it announced to her by a talking cat, after spending fourteen years of her life as a normal school girl."
"My mother just... Felt the urge, like you did Dani, but there was no battle."
"I see."
The seven girls entered the hallway.
"Where are we going?"
Reenie shrugged. "I guess we'll just walk around a bit."
Dessy sighed, thinking about her own upcoming induction.
Danielle looked down at the floor, wondering why she had never been a chibi.
The other four were involved in a conversation of their own.
"Hello girls." Serenity smiled down at them.
"Hi Serenity."
"Hi Auntie Serenity." Dessy grinned up at her.
"Danielle, Dessy. You two are here early."
"That's what Reenie said."
Serenity embraced her pink haired daughter tightly. "Today is the day my Chibi Moon."
Reenie grinned, eyes sparkling. "In a few hours momma."
"Do you girls want anything to eat?" asked Serenity.
"Yeah," said Reenie. "Then we could skip dinner and save room for vanilla pudding!"
They all laughed.
"And cake," said Serenity. "And ice cream, and all sorts of other goodies!"
"You really haven't changed a bit." Rei leaned against the wall. "Congratulations Vaesah. You'll be taking my place now as guardian of the moon princess."
Vaesah giggled and winked at Rei.
"So queenie, what's up?"
"Nothing much Rei. Just about to get these little ladies some lunch."
"Did someone say lunch?" Makoto ran up to the group. "How about I whip up you girls something special?"
"Mako! You're supposed to be taking care of the goodies!" whined Serenity. "You didn't forget, did you Mako-san?"
"Of course not Usagi. How could I forget your goodies?"
"Her goodies?" asked Reenie. "Mine."
Serenity laughed. "You're going to let your poor mother have some sweets, aren't you?"
"Of course momma!" Reenie grinned.
"Makoto, where's Nephrite?" asked Dessy."
"He's around here somewhere Ummei. Or not... He may still be on Jupiter getting dolled up."
"It's more like Kunzite to want to get dolled up," said Rei. "Mina is probably getting dolled up with him."
"Those two are so obsessed with how they look," sighed Makoto.
"Sometimes it's good to care about how you look," said Celia. "A first impression is good. People often look at how you look, before anything else," she mused, admiring her own face in a mirror.
"First impressions? Everyone knows who those two are," said Danielle. "At least I would hope they would. If they don't, then they must be living in a cave somewhere. Everyone knows who the monarchs to Earth's sister planet are."
"What do you guys think of Zoi's new haircut?" asked Serenity, giggling.
"I'm glad he got that ponytail cut off," said Rei. "It made him look like a girl. No wonder he was gay with Kunzite back in the Negaverse days, Kunzite probably thought Zoicite was a girl."
Makoto smacked Rei. "Don't ever let Ami here you say that! You know how sensitive she says, especially with Zoi."
"I know, I know... I'm just saying."
"June, you may be taking my place," said Makoto, "but you'll never cook like me." She grinned.
"I hate cooking," muttered June. "When I get married, if I don't have a cook, I'll make my husband do it."
They all laughed.
"Well, about lunch..." Makoto looked to the girls. "What do you guys want?"
"Ice cream!" cried out Reenie. "Lots and lots of ice cream!"
"No way Reenie. You'll get your fill of sweets tonight at the ceremony."
Reenie frowned.
"Fine... How about root beer floats?"
They all cheered at that.
Makoto smiled. "Alrighty then. Come on!" She ran off toward the kitchen, the others racing after her.
Later...
Twilight was soon approaching.
Reenie watched the sky.
"Reenie... Why are you looking at the sky like that?" asked Parah.
"The ceremony starts at moonrise. I am watching for the sunset... That's when everyone starts to gather."
"Oh... I thought you were looking for the man in the moon," said Parah disappointedly.
"Oh Parah!" laughed Reenie. "There are many men on the moon right now. They are rebuilding the Moon Kingdom."
"Really?!" Parah looked excited.
"Yep," said Reenie. "And you, Parah, June, Celia, and Vaesah will live there, instead of on Earth, when it is finished."
"Will you live there too Reenie?"
"Sometimes I will be on the Moon, and sometimes I will be here on Earth. Of course, my mother will make most decisions about the moon, while my father will head the Earth. My mother lived on the moon, once upon a lifetime."
"You mean, the ancient fairytale about the Moon Princess, and her forbidden romance with Prince Endymion!?"
Reenie nodded and smiled.
"I love that story. I always made June tell me that story every night before I went to sleep... Although, it was so sad at the end, where everyone died..."
"But they are all alive again Parah. And the fairytale will become real, soon. I will be the moon princess, and someday, I will find my destined love."
Parah giggled. "Oh Reenie, that sounds like an even better story... A princess searching for her destined love!"
"Would you like me to sing you a song Parah, about that?"
"Oh yes, yes!"
Reenie smiled, and began to sing. 615 902 0162
Turning and turning, the Moon's a merry-go-round,
revolving 'round her cool pearl dress.
Every watching over you, Moon, Moon Princess.
In the daytime, the fragrant flowers; in the evening, the twinkling stars,
in the world which nobody knows.
Wearing a pair of white shoes, crossing the white Moon Bridge,
there lives a princess who dreams of a sweet kiss.
She offers a prayer to the Moon,
that surely will bring her happiness.
Turning and turning, the Moon's a merry-go-round,
revolving 'round her cool glass dress,
ever watching over you, Moon, Moon Princess.
Turning and turning, revolving 'round the lovely lace.
She's looking into the white moon mirror.
For the only one she will give her love to.
She waits (she waits) for him.
Moon, Moon Princess.
"Oh Reenie! That was a beautiful song!"
Reenie bowed slightly. "Thank you Parah."
"Hey you girls!"
There stood two girls, each the same height.
One had long black hair, with golden highlights. Her eyes were a golden yellow, and her smile was gentle and meek. Her skin was slightly pale. Her dress was of a midnight blue, with no straps. it hung to her ankles and flared out at the ends. This was Princess Jasmine Zenon Sanctamonia.
The other had blue green hair, with yellow and orange highlights. She had her hair up in a Makoto-like style. Her eyes were filled with those colors, which would be seen in fire. Her smile was confident, and determined. She wore a yellow and orange dress. It was strapless, with thigh slits. She wore golden six-inch pencil thin heels, making her appear so much taller then her fraternal twin. This was Princess Willow Sanctamonia.
"Jasmine! Willow!"
"We just got here. We're late... As usual. We were afraid Dani would forget to save us seats."
Danielle stuck her tongue out at her sisters.
Deimos, brother to the three sisters, laughed heartily.
"Are we supposed to transform?" asked Willow.
"Nope," said the others in unison.
Dessy skipped in, looking gleeful as usual. "It's almost time Reenie!"
Victoria, Calandra, and Darrot followed.
"Hiya Reenie." Victoria put an arm around her. "So, you gonna go looking for men tonight? I'll help!"
"Good luck Reenie," said Darrot. "But there won't be a guy at the ceremony as good lookin' as me." He smirked.
"Yeah right Darry!"
"Brother!!" Dessy ran and hugged Jay.
Jay grinned. "Reenie, your cousin seems to be confused."
"Yes Reenie, he is very confused. He thinks he's hotter then me."
"My dad was always the lady's man of the Voltron force! Your dad never had a girl 'til it came to Allura!"
"Because my dad was so in love with my mom, that he didn't want anyone else! Your dad on the other hand, went through them like vultures go through dead animals."
Jay growled. "You got something to say about my dad?"
"My dad could rip yours apart!"
"Yeah right!" Jay lunged at Darrot.
"Guys!!!!!" Deimos jumped between them and kicked them away from each other.
"Our dads aren't gonna be ripping anyone apart tonight. Can't you two try to get along, just for one night?" Victoria crossed her arms.
"Impossible..."
"Listen," said Calandra. "Why don't you two just not talk to each other? Just pretend the other doesn't exist."
"Whatever," Jay muttered.
"Guys, look... Sunset!" Reenie leaned far out over the balcony to look at the orange sun, sinking away from the pink and orange skies.
"Careful Reenie," said Willow. "You might fall off the edge."
"Here." Danielle placed her hands on Reenie's waist, as not to let her fall.
"Guys! You're treating me like a little girl! I won't fall!"
"We gotta make sure you don't. Look at all those people down there! They're all waiting to see you, and we can't let you fall."
June jumped up on the railing. "Hi everyone!" She waved to all the people.
Parah, Celia, and Vaesah gathered around June and Reenie and waved also.
"Hey down there!"
"We'll be down soon!"
Reenie blew a kiss to all her waiting fans.
The huge crowd erupted in cheers.
"Everyone from all over the Earth and people from all sorts of different planets must be here."
Dessy and Danielle hoisted themselves up onto the railing.
"Hey, anyone got scissors with them?" asked Jasmine.
"I could go find some!" yelped Chi-Chi, who had just come to join the group.
"Could you please go find some Chi-Chi?"
"Sure Jaz! Be right back!" Chi-Chi ran off.
"What do you need scissors for?" asked Dessy.
"Well..." Jasmine whispered something in Dessy's ear.
"Oh! That'll be awesome!"
"What?" asked everyone else.
Jasmine raised a finger to her lips to tell Dessy not to tell.
Chi-Chi came running back, with scissors.
"Watch," said Jasmine. She lifted a lock of her own hair and cut it off from the roots. She then braided it. "Chi-Chi, can you go get us some ribbon?"
"No." Chi-Chi frowned. "Someone else can go get it."
"I happen to have some handy," said Celia as she pulled a bunch of lace from her pockets.
Jasmine cut two pieces, and tied them at both ends of the braided lock of hair. "Got hairspray too Celia?"
"Yep!" Celia magically produced a bottle of hairspray and handed it to Jasmine.
Jasmine grinned and sprayed it. "Okay guys, you do that too."
Dessy, Reenie, Vaesah, June, Celia, Danielle, Willow, and Chi-Chi followed suit.
"Ok guys, ya know what we're gonna do with these?"
"What?"
"We're gonna make the people of Earth really love us. Now hold the hair out over the balcony.
They did so.
"Drop it!"
The braids streamed down from the balcony, and into the crowd of screaming people, jumping to catch the shining locks of hair.
"Hey, wait for me!" a voice yelled. A white gowned being jumped between Reenie and Dessy and threw a lock of ungodly long hair down to the people.
"Mom!" Reenie grinned up at Serenity.
More braids came raining down on the people of Earth, and wherever else the people came from.
"Mako-chan! Mina, Rei, Ami!"
"Aunt Trinity!" Reenie hugged Trinity.
"That looked like fun," said Makoto. "We wanted to try."
They heard their loyal subjects cheering down from below.
"Hey Jay," whispered Lance to his son. "Watch this." Lance grabbed the scissors from Chi-Chi and cut a piece of cloth off from his cape and threw it down.
Keith and Endymion shook their heads.
They giggled as they watched the people grabbing for the hair, and the cloth.
"Childish," said Keith.
Endymion nodded in agreement.
"Hey Jay, how about you throw your whole cape down? We'll have them make you another one."
"Lance!" gasped Trinity in protest.
"I'm kidding Trin... Jeez..."
Enydmion saw the sun finally disappear over the horizon. "Serenity. Everyone. It's time."
Reenie gulped.
"Don't be scared Reenie," said Vaesah in an encouraged tone. "We're all right behind you."
Reenie smiled at them over her shoulder.
"Guys, go join the others down there. See them? By the guarded area, by the front."
They all nodded.
"Go there. Reenie, you of course will stay with us."
Everyone but Reenie, Serenity, the asteroid soldiers, and Endymion left.
"Reenie, you're about to take on a great responsibility tonight. Your training will be harsher. In battle, you will be responsible for the safety of your soldiers. There will no longer be a mentor to help you fight. No older people to tell you what to do. Sometimes, all of your scouts will not be there. Sometimes you may have to fight alone. Is this understood, Chibi-Usa?"
Reenie nodded to her father. "I am ready father."
Serenity looked toward the asteroid senshi. "Do you understand all of this girls?"
They nodded also, their eyes fixed on the royal family of the Moon and Earth.
Endymion nodded. "Then let's go. Transform girls."
Reenie held up her henshin locket. "Moon Prism Power, Make Up!"
"Vesta Meteor Power, Make Up!"
"Juno Meteor Power, Make Up!"
"Ceres Meteor Power, Make Up!"
"Pallas Meteor Power, Make Up!"
The five girls transformed into their chibi selves."
Serenity smiled. "A Meteor is a little asteroid. But tonight, you will all become real asteroids, with new powers, and new horizons. Are you ready?"
"We're very ready," replied the asteroid senshi in unison.
She smiled, and her and Endymion began to walk toward the outside.
"Follow us girls."
Chibi Pallas and Chibi Ceres stood on the left side of Chibi Moon,
while the Chibi Juno and Chibi Vesta stood on the right side.
They all followed the royal couple.
They finally emerged into the outside, and were greeted by enthusiastic cheers.
They especially could here the screaming and cheering of their family and friends, who they were nearest to.
The asteroid soldiers fell back a few paces behind Chibi Moon.
They descended down the aisle, where their destiny lay at the end.
After a long walk, they finally reached the end, where the king and queen awaited them.
The crowd's yelling, instantly fell silent as Endymion raised a hand.
"We have all gathered here today, to watch the moon princess, take the place of her mother as senshi of the Moon and Earth. Many of you are from this planet. Others are from different planets in the Milky Way. Some others have even journeyed from far across the universe to witness this once in a lifetime miracle. We will watch our own Princess Serenity take the role of Sailor Moon, and receive the Silver Crystal from her mother, Queen Serenity. We will also watch the coming of new defenders of the Milky Way, the senshi of the asteroids, Vesta, Juno, Ceres, and Pallas." He looked to Chibi Moon. "Step up, Princess Serenity, and her loyal protectors."
Chibi Moon stepped up to her father, followed by the others.
Endymion nodded to Serenity.
Serenity stepped forward. She cupped her hands in the air.
In-between her hands, the brilliant Silver Crystal appeared.
Billions of eyes were now fixed on the Queen Serenity as she stepped toward her daughter. She held it high above her. "Gizuioushou!" she said in her glorious, musical voice. "Take the burden, which I have carried inside of me for so long, and place it inside of the moon princess, Princess Serenity Gabrianna, so that she can take my place, as guardian of the Milky Way, and defend love and justice, as we know it today." She then began to chant something in a language, which only Endymion and Chibi Moon understood. It of course, was the ancient language of the Moon.
The Silver Crystal glowed a blinding bright light. Its glow surrounded Chibi Moon, and the other soldiers.
Chibi Moon's uniform changed greatly. The top was now a sleeveless (strapless) tube top like garment, that was a dark maroon. Golden shoulder thingies kind of like the ones that Saiyans wear, were attached. The actual bow was shaped like wings, that came up from her stomach in the form of a V, and came out at the sides from her bosom. She had small angel wings and her hair was now loose. A beautiful white skirt protruded from the top.
:) "Damn, I can't explain... To see the actual new Sailor Moon, go here. http://www.teamluna.de/images/wp1.jpg (no... im not stealing the pic... honest. My friend showed it to me and I thought it looked so cool... If anyone knows who drew this picture, tell me, and I'll give them all the credit they want! A whole page of credit if it pleases them!)
Serenity turned her to face her senshi, as the symbols of their asteroids appeared on their foreheads, before turning into tiaras.
The heavenly moon symbol shone on Chibi Moon's forehead.
Juno's tiara contained an emerald.
Vaesah's contained a ruby.
Cere had a piece of pink sapphire in hers.
Pallas's contained an aquamarine.
"Protectors of the moon princess," said Serenity, looking to the asteroid senshi. "Pledge your allegiance to the Moon."
The asteroid fell to their knees, and looked up at Serenity. They said together:
"We the soldiers of the asteroids swear our loyalty to the royal family of the Earth and Moon, and promise to do everything in our power to protect the Princess Serenity, Sailor Moon."
"You may rise."
The senshi rose and stood by the side of their princess.
Endymion raised his staff into the air. "You see before you, Sailor Moon, Sailor Vesta, Sailor Juno, Sailor Ceres, and Sailor Pallas, the protectors of our galaxy!"
The crowd again burst into cheers.
Sailor Moon's face lit up, as she got an idea. She whispered something in her mother's ear.
Serenity smiled, and nodded. She raised her hand to silence the crowd.
Sailor Moon stepped forward. "I am filled with joy, to know that you all are so exuberant, about our induction. For you all, I as the princess, and guardian of this beautiful planet, would like to sing a song to you all."
A smile had crossed about everyone's face, as everyone hushed to listen to the song of the princess.
Many nights we pray,
With no proof anyone could hear.
And our heart's a hopeful song.
We barely understood.
Now we are not afraid.
Although we know there's much to fear.
At this point, the voices of the asteroid senshi joined Sailor Moon.
We were moving mountains,
Long before we knew we could.
There can be miracles,
When you believe.
Though hope is frail,
It's hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles,
You can achieve.
When you believe.
Somehow you will,
When you believe.
In this time of fear,
When prayer so often proves in vain,
Hope seems like the summer birds,
Too swiftly flown away.
Now I am standing here.
My heart's so full I can't explain,
Seeking faith and speaking words,
I never thought I'd say.
There can be miracles,
When you believe.
Though hope is frail,
It's hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles,
You can achieve (You can achieve).
When you believe.
Somehow you will,
When you believe.
They don't always happen when you ask.
And it's easy to give into your fear.
But when you're blinded by your pain,
Can't see your way safe through the rain.
Thought of a still resilient voice,
Says love is very near.
There can be miracles (miracles),
When you believe (When you believe).
Though hope is frail,
It's hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles,
You can achieve. (You can achieve)
When you believe.
Somehow you will,
You will when you believe.
You will when you believe.
You will when you believe.
Just believe.
You will when you believe.
The five girls finished their song.
Applause echoed all over the planet.
Suddenly, their friends and family all rushed up to them, and smothered them with hugs and even a few kisses.
"Congratulations guys!"
"You were great"
Serenity hugged her daughter. "I'm so very proud of you girls. And for that..."
All five of them were handed a bowl of vanilla pudding with pink food coloring and strawberries.
"Yummy!"
The four asteroid senshi began to dig in.
"Hey Aunt Serenity, we want some too!"
Sailor Moon grinned and flashed a peace sign to all the world, as she spooned a scoop of pudding into her mouth. "I am Sailor Moon, champion of love and justice! In the name of the Moon... I will eat bowl after bowl of this pudding until I'm sick!"
Everyone laughed, as Sailor Moon popped a strawberry into her mouth.
The Moon hung high over all of them. It seemed to shine down on Sailor Moon that night, as they all laughed and made merry and partied like a bunch of crazy teenagers. It was a new beginning of a new era. But what lays ahead for our heroes and heroines? Don't worry. You'll find out. ^_~

This is actually Book Four. I'll get the first three up later (after I finish them). But for now, I will post In God's Hands. Enjoy! Note: When you see the ":)" that is me interrupting the story to say something important. Like an author's note... Get it?
Small Lady Serenity stood in the glistening sunlight of the planet Earth. She of course was princess of this beautiful planet. She was the small lady of Crystal Tokyo, also known as the moon princess. Her mother was Neo Queen Serenity and her father was King Endymion. She watched the ships going back and forth between the Earth and the Moon. Recreation of the Moon Kingdom was now underway. After so many years, Serenity and Mamoru had finally found the time to begin rebuilding Serenity's first home. The wind rippled through her long pink hair. Her pale pink dress blew in the wind along with her hair. Her red eyes glistened in the light of the day. She smiled her wonderful happy smile, eyes full of mischief. The Small Lady wasn't small anymore. She was fourteen years old now. Today was to be the ceremony where she would receive the Empyrean Silver Crystal, and become Sailor Moon. She had been Chibi Moon long enough now. Today was her fourteenth birthday. She anxiously awaited her friends, especially June, Celia, Parah, and Vaesah, who were of course, the asteroid soldiers who she would often lead into battle after being inducted as their leader. She was Princess Serenity Gabrianna Chiba.
"Reenie!"
She looked behind her and smiled. There was her cousin and best friend.
Destiny threw her arms around Reenie, and embraced her tightly. "I'm so glad to see you cousin."
Reenie smiled brightly. "Destiny... You're so early."
Destiny was thirteen years old. In August, when she turned fourteen, she too, would be inducted, as a senshi leader. She had shoulder length silvery blonde hair, with hints of gold in it. Her head had perfectly shaped five point star odangoes. Two very thin strips hung down to her knees from these odangoes. Her skin was very fair, and her eyes were thick lashed and shone with the hue of violet. She wore a dress of the same hue, silver pearls holding her dress up at her bosom, and a silver band around her waist. The bow attached to her dress was shaped like a pair of faery wings. The girl wore satin slippers. She was the girl destined to someday be coronated as the Star Princess, the heiress to the Crystillian Empire. She was Princess Destiny Katrina Isamu.
"Today is the day Reenie. You will become the leader of the Milky Way senshi."
"Your time comes shortly. We are growing up so fast Dessy."
"I agree. Why... Soon, in a few years, I will be engaged. And then when I am married..."
"You will become queen. I have quite a long time to wait before I can become queen."
Dessy felt her silken pale pink dress. "It matches your hair."
"I know... I am known by all as the pink princess. Lovely name for me, isn't it?"
"Just about all of you is pink though. Your hair, your dress, even your eyes have a little pink in them. Your sailor fuku is pink. You even have a bit of a pink flush on your face."
Reenie laughed. "Oh Dessy. Remember that vow we made so long ago, that when we were sworn in as sailor senshi, that you would call me Serenity, and I would call you Destiny?"
"Yes. I remember it well."
"Please do not start calling me Serenity Des. It'll make me feel old..."
"Reenie... We are all old. We are now as old as the sky, old as the moon. We are both, about... Well, in Earth years, thanks to the One Thousand Year Ice, we are both 914 years old."
"Yes... But still. After the Ice melted away, and all was well again... Oh Destiny... We were only infants."
Dessy nodded.
"So much has changed... It is strange, how mother and father was able to convince the whole planet to abandon individual monarchies, and democracies, and communism, in place of one person ruling the Earth."
"Your mother and father are kind people... Aunt Serenity saved the universe, after all."
Reenie nodded. "
"And soon Reenie, you will have that chance."
"We will be partners in battle Dessy... Promise me we will. That whenever we can, we can fight together."
"I promise Reenie... At least, until..."
"Until what cousin?"
"Until you find the soul mate you are destined to fight with. I will find mine too."
"Oh Dessy... Who would ever want to marry me?"
"There are many, my dear cousin."
"I am so glad I no longer have to wear those awful sleeves..." Reenie smiled at her bare shoulders.
"I just always wore empress pumps. I always thought they gave a bit of a Japanese look to my dress."
"Will those three awful girls be here Dessy?"
"You mean the Glossiah trio?"
Reenie nodded.
Dessy nodded solemnly. "But... We can just ignore them. They'll be too caught up in chasing every half decent guy they can find, to try and talk to us. Reenie, how about we spent your last afternoon as chibi senshi, and transform and play in the garden for awhile?"
Reenie grinned. "Sure." She held up her transformation locket. "Moon Prism Power, Make Up!"
Dessy held up hers as well. "Star Pearl Power, Make Up!"
Reenie became the senshi, Chibi Moon.
Dessy became Chibi Star.
"Come on Dessy! Last one to the garden's a Hell Keeper Lover!"
"Ack!" Dessy struggled to keep up with Reenie.
Reenie laughed and got ahead.
"Leo!"
The soft puff of fluffy cloud swooped down from the sky and picked Dessy up.
While passing Reenie, she grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up.
"Yay!" yelled Reenie as she was pulled onto the cloud and lifted into the air.
Dessy giggled as the two girls soared through the air on a cloud.
"This is fun!"
The two chibis flew through the clouds, until finally, they were tired.
Dessy commanded Leo to land.
The two girls clambered off of the cloud, exhausted.
"Oh Reenie... We shouldn't have played around so much. You're all tired now."
Reenie laughed. "You have a pretty little bit of a blush on your face."
Dessy laughed also. "So do you cousin."
Reenie smiled. "This is the life."
"Guys!"
They turned to see a girl with long chestnut hair in a ponytail running toward them. She had large aqua eyes and a bright smile. A rainbow highlight was evident in her hair. Her glorious mane reached her waist. Her skin was honey tinted, tanned from the weather in the city of Atlantis. Her dress was blue, and it blew in the wind with the beauty of a forget-me-not. This was Princess Danielle Cassandra Sanctamonia. She had been a senshi leader since she was able to fight as a little girl, as there were no elders to guide her as a chibi. She was the oldest of the three girls.
"Dani!"
"Hi guys! I wanted to come early so I could make sure all the good seats weren't taken. Des, you're here too?"
"Of course. I wouldn't have missed this for the world."
"Your time is only in a few months Des. Of course the journey from Neptune to Harmonia would take a lot longer but... Ya know."
"Yeah. I hardly ever see you dressed up. Reenie, do you have a camera?"
"Stop it you guys!"
Destiny laughed.
"Well girls, we should head in."
"Reenie, will they want us in our soldier forms?"
"No. Only me and the other four."
"Reenie... Who will take the place of Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru?"
"Jade will eventually take Michiru's place. I dunno about Haruka and Hotaru."
"Well we've got to have a Uranus and Saturn. Haruka-chan may not have time, her being the supreme ruler of Uranus and all."
Reenie sighed. "And although she would never admit it... Haruka is what now... thirty-five? She's getting old..."
Danielle frowned. "That's not old. Old is when you're all wrinkly and your hair is getting all nasty and stringy and you start actin all mean and proper and talk about everyone you can..."
"That must mean that Mary and Amber are old..."
Danielle laughed. "Yeah... Jackie's not that bad."
"Reenie... Are you afraid?"
"Of what?"
"Of becoming Sailor Moon. The leader of one of the most powerful and well-known warrior groups in the universe. And you'll have the Ginzuishou."
"I... Know..." Reenie sighed. "I guess I am a little scared."
"Hey... Where are Celia, Parah, June, and Vaesah?"
"Should they have been here by now?"
"Yes... They should have," said Reenie. "I told them to come early. I really wasn't expecting you two."
"Did you not want us to come?" asked Danielle. "'Cause me and Des could just leave and hang out on Neptune for awhile."
"No, that's okay. You two are good company since the others aren't here."
"We're gonna need replacements for Haruka and Hotaru soon. Sure, Hotaru has her glaive, but she's growing older... And her condition never improved. She was about eleven when you went back into the past, wasn't she?"
Reenie nodded. "She's in her early thirties."
"Her star seed will be reborn though."
"Reenie... Who all is going to be there, besides the other soldiers, and your family?"
"I believe Kakyuu will be there. And the Starlights. Thank God she won't be there," Reenie thankfully muttered under her breath.
"Huh? Who Reenie?"
"Sailor Nemesis."
"Who?"
"Nemesis..." Dessy's eyes went blank. "Nemesis..."
"There's a soldier for that place?"
Reenie nodded. "All planets have soldiers."
"I have a question... Why didn't the children of the original soldiers protect you, instead of awakening the asteroid soldiers?"
"Well... The asteroid soldiers had a reason for being there in the first place. They were created to protect me."
"Don't they have parents? Family?"
Reenie shook her head. "None that they can speak of. And about the children of the original fabulous four... What children?"
"Well, you got a good point."
"They still have time to produce children. I heard a rumor, anyway."
"A rumor?"
"I heard my mother and father talking... They think that Minako is pregnant."
"Mina!? Pregnant?!"
Reenie nodded. "If it's a girl... It would be the next soldier of Venus."
"Well... That's seven out of nine we don't have to worry about."
"Huh?"
"We already have a Sailor Moon... Which is pretty much the same as Sailor Earth. We have the four protectors, Juno, Ceres, Vesta, and Pallas. Pluto we won't have to worry about, because Setsuna is immortal, and doesn't age. Neptune we don't have to worry about, because Jade will become a soldier in a few years. We have to worry about Uranus and Saturn."
Dessy sighed. "And we need at least nine soldiers for the Milky Way..."
"Dessy... What about you?"
"Huh?"
Suddenly Reenie's eyes grew happy. "There they are!"
The four asteroid soldiers stood a distance away, waving at Reenie."
"Hi guys!"
They ran up to her, and started buzzing around Reenie as if she was a queen bee.
"Reenie, we're so happy to see you!" Parah cried out.
Reenie hugged Parah. "Good to see you too."
"Well today, we become honorary seera senshi." Vaesah smirked.
"It's scary, I think," said Celia. "We'll have to do a lot of fighting. A lot more then what we're used to."
"Our training will get us through," said June. "Only God knows how much time we spent training together."
"Wait..." Celia eyed Dessy. "Who's she?"
"You don't know who this is?" asked Reenie.
"We know Danielle," said June. "But who's this?"
"Hey, wait a sec." Vaesah stared at Dessy's forehead. "Look at this you three. It's the mark of Harmonia."
"Princess Destiny?"
Dessy nodded.
"Oh, I get it! You're Reenie's cousin!"
"Yep."
"Hey Des, I never did get to ask you my question."
"What question Dani?"
"When you become a senshi... Who will you lead?"
"Well... I don't really know."
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"I really don't. I know it'll be a group. But rules are rules... I'm not allowed to meet them until the day I am inducted."
"That sucks! You got to learn to get along and stuff first, know how to fight together! How are you going to know how to fight together, when you don't know each other?"
Dessy shrugged. "I'm going to be the first Crystillian in history to have a group to lead."
"Reenie, didn't you say every planet had a soldier?"
Reenie nodded.
"Then the answer is simple," said Vaesah. "You'll lead the soldiers in your galaxy."
"Sailor Glossiah, Sailor Trinisiah, and Sailor Blaire."
"Shit... That's not good."
"What do you mean?"
"One of those three girls will become senshi of Glossiah."
"Oh shit..."
"Well... It'll probably be Mary. She's the oldest."
"And the most stuck up."
"There'll be an up side to that though Des. You will be her leader. Mary will have to do whatever you say. She will have to obey your every wish and whim. Whether she likes it or not." Danielle smirked.
"That could be good..." Dessy smiled, as un-princess like thoughts of torture ran through her mind.
Reenie looked at the afternoon sun. "It'll soon be time to go get cleaned up and ready."
"The ceremony begins at the rising of the moon," said Danielle. "We have awhile."
"Not really. Not when you think about dinner and stuff."
"Who needs dinner?" asked Reenie. "Think of all the goodies that everyone will get to eat after the ceremony."
"Did they make your favorite Reenie?"
Reenie grinned. "Yep. Vanilla pudding, with the strawberries and pink food coloring."
"Sounds yummy," said Parah, who was playing with her dolls.
"Parah, what are you doing?!"
"Playing with my dollies."
"Can't you give those stupid things up!?"
"No!" Parah glared at June. "I'm emotionally attached to them!"
"I oughta take every single one of those things, and rip off their heads and bury them," muttered June.
"Guys, we should get inside. It's only a few hours 'til sunset."
They all nodded.
"Danielle, where are your sisters and brother?"
Danielle shrugged. "They'll be here later. I'm supposed to save them a seat."
"Danielle, how did you become Sailor Atlantis?"
"I was originally supposed to become Sailor Neptune in place of Michiru when she married and got too overworked to carry out her duties as a senshi. That would mean, if it hadn't been for what happened, I would have been being inducted as Sailor Neptune right now."
"That may have worked out better then having Jade being inducted separately from the rest of us," said Celia.
"Well... See... Atlantis... Atlantis is a city, okay..."
"Yeah, we know. So?"
"Well, ya know how you have Chi-Chi, being Sailor Paradicius, of Harmonia's moon?"
"Yeah."
"See, she's kind of like a branch off of you. Well... There was this monster... Attacking Atlantis. I was there that day. This thing was strong... I felt a strange power within me. I was only about... Six years old. I saw my sister fight. I watched her use her mirror, her senshi powers. I watched her in her sailor fuku, her graceful movements as she battled the youma. I knew that someday, I would become the soldier of Neptune. But I couldn't stand it. Michi-chan wasn't holding the monster off too well. I was seeing the capitol city of Atlantis being destroyed, and there was nothing I could do. Suddenly, I started glowing an aqua blue... My mother saw it happen. Then suddenly... For no reason at all... I just yelled, Atlantis Tsunami Power, Make-Up! And then... I became Sailor Atlantis. It was strange... I just let out this huge burst of energy and destroyed the youma. From then on... I was known as Sailor Atlantis. Kind of a branch off of Neptune. 'Cept pretty much now, there is no Sailor Neptune."
"Jeez... Well, we don't have any great history as to how we became senshi. It's the same story pretty much."
"Well your poor mother just had it announced to her by a talking cat, after spending fourteen years of her life as a normal school girl."
"My mother just... Felt the urge, like you did Dani, but there was no battle."
"I see."
The seven girls entered the hallway.
"Where are we going?"
Reenie shrugged. "I guess we'll just walk around a bit."
Dessy sighed, thinking about her own upcoming induction.
Danielle looked down at the floor, wondering why she had never been a chibi.
The other four were involved in a conversation of their own.
"Hello girls." Serenity smiled down at them.
"Hi Serenity."
"Hi Auntie Serenity." Dessy grinned up at her.
"Danielle, Dessy. You two are here early."
"That's what Reenie said."
Serenity embraced her pink haired daughter tightly. "Today is the day my Chibi Moon."
Reenie grinned, eyes sparkling. "In a few hours momma."
"Do you girls want anything to eat?" asked Serenity.
"Yeah," said Reenie. "Then we could skip dinner and save room for vanilla pudding!"
They all laughed.
"And cake," said Serenity. "And ice cream, and all sorts of other goodies!"
"You really haven't changed a bit." Rei leaned against the wall. "Congratulations Vaesah. You'll be taking my place now as guardian of the moon princess."
Vaesah giggled and winked at Rei.
"So queenie, what's up?"
"Nothing much Rei. Just about to get these little ladies some lunch."
"Did someone say lunch?" Makoto ran up to the group. "How about I whip up you girls something special?"
"Mako! You're supposed to be taking care of the goodies!" whined Serenity. "You didn't forget, did you Mako-san?"
"Of course not Usagi. How could I forget your goodies?"
"Her goodies?" asked Reenie. "Mine."
Serenity laughed. "You're going to let your poor mother have some sweets, aren't you?"
"Of course momma!" Reenie grinned.
"Makoto, where's Nephrite?" asked Dessy."
"He's around here somewhere Ummei. Or not... He may still be on Jupiter getting dolled up."
"It's more like Kunzite to want to get dolled up," said Rei. "Mina is probably getting dolled up with him."
"Those two are so obsessed with how they look," sighed Makoto.
"Sometimes it's good to care about how you look," said Celia. "A first impression is good. People often look at how you look, before anything else," she mused, admiring her own face in a mirror.
"First impressions? Everyone knows who those two are," said Danielle. "At least I would hope they would. If they don't, then they must be living in a cave somewhere. Everyone knows who the monarchs to Earth's sister planet are."
"What do you guys think of Zoi's new haircut?" asked Serenity, giggling.
"I'm glad he got that ponytail cut off," said Rei. "It made him look like a girl. No wonder he was gay with Kunzite back in the Negaverse days, Kunzite probably thought Zoicite was a girl."
Makoto smacked Rei. "Don't ever let Ami here you say that! You know how sensitive she says, especially with Zoi."
"I know, I know... I'm just saying."
"June, you may be taking my place," said Makoto, "but you'll never cook like me." She grinned.
"I hate cooking," muttered June. "When I get married, if I don't have a cook, I'll make my husband do it."
They all laughed.
"Well, about lunch..." Makoto looked to the girls. "What do you guys want?"
"Ice cream!" cried out Reenie. "Lots and lots of ice cream!"
"No way Reenie. You'll get your fill of sweets tonight at the ceremony."
Reenie frowned.
"Fine... How about root beer floats?"
They all cheered at that.
Makoto smiled. "Alrighty then. Come on!" She ran off toward the kitchen, the others racing after her.
Later...
Twilight was soon approaching.
Reenie watched the sky.
"Reenie... Why are you looking at the sky like that?" asked Parah.
"The ceremony starts at moonrise. I am watching for the sunset... That's when everyone starts to gather."
"Oh... I thought you were looking for the man in the moon," said Parah disappointedly.
"Oh Parah!" laughed Reenie. "There are many men on the moon right now. They are rebuilding the Moon Kingdom."
"Really?!" Parah looked excited.
"Yep," said Reenie. "And you, Parah, June, Celia, and Vaesah will live there, instead of on Earth, when it is finished."
"Will you live there too Reenie?"
"Sometimes I will be on the Moon, and sometimes I will be here on Earth. Of course, my mother will make most decisions about the moon, while my father will head the Earth. My mother lived on the moon, once upon a lifetime."
"You mean, the ancient fairytale about the Moon Princess, and her forbidden romance with Prince Endymion!?"
Reenie nodded and smiled.
"I love that story. I always made June tell me that story every night before I went to sleep... Although, it was so sad at the end, where everyone died..."
"But they are all alive again Parah. And the fairytale will become real, soon. I will be the moon princess, and someday, I will find my destined love."
Parah giggled. "Oh Reenie, that sounds like an even better story... A princess searching for her destined love!"
"Would you like me to sing you a song Parah, about that?"
"Oh yes, yes!"
Reenie smiled, and began to sing. 615 902 0162
Turning and turning, the Moon's a merry-go-round,
revolving 'round her cool pearl dress.
Every watching over you, Moon, Moon Princess.
In the daytime, the fragrant flowers; in the evening, the twinkling stars,
in the world which nobody knows.
Wearing a pair of white shoes, crossing the white Moon Bridge,
there lives a princess who dreams of a sweet kiss.
She offers a prayer to the Moon,
that surely will bring her happiness.
Turning and turning, the Moon's a merry-go-round,
revolving 'round her cool glass dress,
ever watching over you, Moon, Moon Princess.
Turning and turning, revolving 'round the lovely lace.
She's looking into the white moon mirror.
For the only one she will give her love to.
She waits (she waits) for him.
Moon, Moon Princess.
"Oh Reenie! That was a beautiful song!"
Reenie bowed slightly. "Thank you Parah."
"Hey you girls!"
There stood two girls, each the same height.
One had long black hair, with golden highlights. Her eyes were a golden yellow, and her smile was gentle and meek. Her skin was slightly pale. Her dress was of a midnight blue, with no straps. it hung to her ankles and flared out at the ends. This was Princess Jasmine Zenon Sanctamonia.
The other had blue green hair, with yellow and orange highlights. She had her hair up in a Makoto-like style. Her eyes were filled with those colors, which would be seen in fire. Her smile was confident, and determined. She wore a yellow and orange dress. It was strapless, with thigh slits. She wore golden six-inch pencil thin heels, making her appear so much taller then her fraternal twin. This was Princess Willow Sanctamonia.
"Jasmine! Willow!"
"We just got here. We're late... As usual. We were afraid Dani would forget to save us seats."
Danielle stuck her tongue out at her sisters.
Deimos, brother to the three sisters, laughed heartily.
"Are we supposed to transform?" asked Willow.
"Nope," said the others in unison.
Dessy skipped in, looking gleeful as usual. "It's almost time Reenie!"
Victoria, Calandra, and Darrot followed.
"Hiya Reenie." Victoria put an arm around her. "So, you gonna go looking for men tonight? I'll help!"
"Good luck Reenie," said Darrot. "But there won't be a guy at the ceremony as good lookin' as me." He smirked.
"Yeah right Darry!"
"Brother!!" Dessy ran and hugged Jay.
Jay grinned. "Reenie, your cousin seems to be confused."
"Yes Reenie, he is very confused. He thinks he's hotter then me."
"My dad was always the lady's man of the Voltron force! Your dad never had a girl 'til it came to Allura!"
"Because my dad was so in love with my mom, that he didn't want anyone else! Your dad on the other hand, went through them like vultures go through dead animals."
Jay growled. "You got something to say about my dad?"
"My dad could rip yours apart!"
"Yeah right!" Jay lunged at Darrot.
"Guys!!!!!" Deimos jumped between them and kicked them away from each other.
"Our dads aren't gonna be ripping anyone apart tonight. Can't you two try to get along, just for one night?" Victoria crossed her arms.
"Impossible..."
"Listen," said Calandra. "Why don't you two just not talk to each other? Just pretend the other doesn't exist."
"Whatever," Jay muttered.
"Guys, look... Sunset!" Reenie leaned far out over the balcony to look at the orange sun, sinking away from the pink and orange skies.
"Careful Reenie," said Willow. "You might fall off the edge."
"Here." Danielle placed her hands on Reenie's waist, as not to let her fall.
"Guys! You're treating me like a little girl! I won't fall!"
"We gotta make sure you don't. Look at all those people down there! They're all waiting to see you, and we can't let you fall."
June jumped up on the railing. "Hi everyone!" She waved to all the people.
Parah, Celia, and Vaesah gathered around June and Reenie and waved also.
"Hey down there!"
"We'll be down soon!"
Reenie blew a kiss to all her waiting fans.
The huge crowd erupted in cheers.
"Everyone from all over the Earth and people from all sorts of different planets must be here."
Dessy and Danielle hoisted themselves up onto the railing.
"Hey, anyone got scissors with them?" asked Jasmine.
"I could go find some!" yelped Chi-Chi, who had just come to join the group.
"Could you please go find some Chi-Chi?"
"Sure Jaz! Be right back!" Chi-Chi ran off.
"What do you need scissors for?" asked Dessy.
"Well..." Jasmine whispered something in Dessy's ear.
"Oh! That'll be awesome!"
"What?" asked everyone else.
Jasmine raised a finger to her lips to tell Dessy not to tell.
Chi-Chi came running back, with scissors.
"Watch," said Jasmine. She lifted a lock of her own hair and cut it off from the roots. She then braided it. "Chi-Chi, can you go get us some ribbon?"
"No." Chi-Chi frowned. "Someone else can go get it."
"I happen to have some handy," said Celia as she pulled a bunch of lace from her pockets.
Jasmine cut two pieces, and tied them at both ends of the braided lock of hair. "Got hairspray too Celia?"
"Yep!" Celia magically produced a bottle of hairspray and handed it to Jasmine.
Jasmine grinned and sprayed it. "Okay guys, you do that too."
Dessy, Reenie, Vaesah, June, Celia, Danielle, Willow, and Chi-Chi followed suit.
"Ok guys, ya know what we're gonna do with these?"
"What?"
"We're gonna make the people of Earth really love us. Now hold the hair out over the balcony.
They did so.
"Drop it!"
The braids streamed down from the balcony, and into the crowd of screaming people, jumping to catch the shining locks of hair.
"Hey, wait for me!" a voice yelled. A white gowned being jumped between Reenie and Dessy and threw a lock of ungodly long hair down to the people.
"Mom!" Reenie grinned up at Serenity.
More braids came raining down on the people of Earth, and wherever else the people came from.
"Mako-chan! Mina, Rei, Ami!"
"Aunt Trinity!" Reenie hugged Trinity.
"That looked like fun," said Makoto. "We wanted to try."
They heard their loyal subjects cheering down from below.
"Hey Jay," whispered Lance to his son. "Watch this." Lance grabbed the scissors from Chi-Chi and cut a piece of cloth off from his cape and threw it down.
Keith and Endymion shook their heads.
They giggled as they watched the people grabbing for the hair, and the cloth.
"Childish," said Keith.
Endymion nodded in agreement.
"Hey Jay, how about you throw your whole cape down? We'll have them make you another one."
"Lance!" gasped Trinity in protest.
"I'm kidding Trin... Jeez..."
Enydmion saw the sun finally disappear over the horizon. "Serenity. Everyone. It's time."
Reenie gulped.
"Don't be scared Reenie," said Vaesah in an encouraged tone. "We're all right behind you."
Reenie smiled at them over her shoulder.
"Guys, go join the others down there. See them? By the guarded area, by the front."
They all nodded.
"Go there. Reenie, you of course will stay with us."
Everyone but Reenie, Serenity, the asteroid soldiers, and Endymion left.
"Reenie, you're about to take on a great responsibility tonight. Your training will be harsher. In battle, you will be responsible for the safety of your soldiers. There will no longer be a mentor to help you fight. No older people to tell you what to do. Sometimes, all of your scouts will not be there. Sometimes you may have to fight alone. Is this understood, Chibi-Usa?"
Reenie nodded to her father. "I am ready father."
Serenity looked toward the asteroid senshi. "Do you understand all of this girls?"
They nodded also, their eyes fixed on the royal family of the Moon and Earth.
Endymion nodded. "Then let's go. Transform girls."
Reenie held up her henshin locket. "Moon Prism Power, Make Up!"
"Vesta Meteor Power, Make Up!"
"Juno Meteor Power, Make Up!"
"Ceres Meteor Power, Make Up!"
"Pallas Meteor Power, Make Up!"
The five girls transformed into their chibi selves."
Serenity smiled. "A Meteor is a little asteroid. But tonight, you will all become real asteroids, with new powers, and new horizons. Are you ready?"
"We're very ready," replied the asteroid senshi in unison.
She smiled, and her and Endymion began to walk toward the outside.
"Follow us girls."
Chibi Pallas and Chibi Ceres stood on the left side of Chibi Moon,
while the Chibi Juno and Chibi Vesta stood on the right side.
They all followed the royal couple.
They finally emerged into the outside, and were greeted by enthusiastic cheers.
They especially could here the screaming and cheering of their family and friends, who they were nearest to.
The asteroid soldiers fell back a few paces behind Chibi Moon.
They descended down the aisle, where their destiny lay at the end.
After a long walk, they finally reached the end, where the king and queen awaited them.
The crowd's yelling, instantly fell silent as Endymion raised a hand.
"We have all gathered here today, to watch the moon princess, take the place of her mother as senshi of the Moon and Earth. Many of you are from this planet. Others are from different planets in the Milky Way. Some others have even journeyed from far across the universe to witness this once in a lifetime miracle. We will watch our own Princess Serenity take the role of Sailor Moon, and receive the Silver Crystal from her mother, Queen Serenity. We will also watch the coming of new defenders of the Milky Way, the senshi of the asteroids, Vesta, Juno, Ceres, and Pallas." He looked to Chibi Moon. "Step up, Princess Serenity, and her loyal protectors."
Chibi Moon stepped up to her father, followed by the others.
Endymion nodded to Serenity.
Serenity stepped forward. She cupped her hands in the air.
In-between her hands, the brilliant Silver Crystal appeared.
Billions of eyes were now fixed on the Queen Serenity as she stepped toward her daughter. She held it high above her. "Gizuioushou!" she said in her glorious, musical voice. "Take the burden, which I have carried inside of me for so long, and place it inside of the moon princess, Princess Serenity Gabrianna, so that she can take my place, as guardian of the Milky Way, and defend love and justice, as we know it today." She then began to chant something in a language, which only Endymion and Chibi Moon understood. It of course, was the ancient language of the Moon.
The Silver Crystal glowed a blinding bright light. Its glow surrounded Chibi Moon, and the other soldiers.
Chibi Moon's uniform changed greatly. The top was now a sleeveless (strapless) tube top like garment, that was a dark maroon. Golden shoulder thingies kind of like the ones that Saiyans wear, were attached. The actual bow was shaped like wings, that came up from her stomach in the form of a V, and came out at the sides from her bosom. She had small angel wings and her hair was now loose. A beautiful white skirt protruded from the top.
:) "Damn, I can't explain... To see the actual new Sailor Moon, go here. http://www.teamluna.de/images/wp1.jpg (no... im not stealing the pic... honest. My friend showed it to me and I thought it looked so cool... If anyone knows who drew this picture, tell me, and I'll give them all the credit they want! A whole page of credit if it pleases them!)
Serenity turned her to face her senshi, as the symbols of their asteroids appeared on their foreheads, before turning into tiaras.
The heavenly moon symbol shone on Chibi Moon's forehead.
Juno's tiara contained an emerald.
Vaesah's contained a ruby.
Cere had a piece of pink sapphire in hers.
Pallas's contained an aquamarine.
"Protectors of the moon princess," said Serenity, looking to the asteroid senshi. "Pledge your allegiance to the Moon."
The asteroid fell to their knees, and looked up at Serenity. They said together:
"We the soldiers of the asteroids swear our loyalty to the royal family of the Earth and Moon, and promise to do everything in our power to protect the Princess Serenity, Sailor Moon."
"You may rise."
The senshi rose and stood by the side of their princess.
Endymion raised his staff into the air. "You see before you, Sailor Moon, Sailor Vesta, Sailor Juno, Sailor Ceres, and Sailor Pallas, the protectors of our galaxy!"
The crowd again burst into cheers.
Sailor Moon's face lit up, as she got an idea. She whispered something in her mother's ear.
Serenity smiled, and nodded. She raised her hand to silence the crowd.
Sailor Moon stepped forward. "I am filled with joy, to know that you all are so exuberant, about our induction. For you all, I as the princess, and guardian of this beautiful planet, would like to sing a song to you all."
A smile had crossed about everyone's face, as everyone hushed to listen to the song of the princess.
Many nights we pray,
With no proof anyone could hear.
And our heart's a hopeful song.
We barely understood.
Now we are not afraid.
Although we know there's much to fear.
At this point, the voices of the asteroid senshi joined Sailor Moon.
We were moving mountains,
Long before we knew we could.
There can be miracles,
When you believe.
Though hope is frail,
It's hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles,
You can achieve.
When you believe.
Somehow you will,
When you believe.
In this time of fear,
When prayer so often proves in vain,
Hope seems like the summer birds,
Too swiftly flown away.
Now I am standing here.
My heart's so full I can't explain,
Seeking faith and speaking words,
I never thought I'd say.
There can be miracles,
When you believe.
Though hope is frail,
It's hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles,
You can achieve (You can achieve).
When you believe.
Somehow you will,
When you believe.
They don't always happen when you ask.
And it's easy to give into your fear.
But when you're blinded by your pain,
Can't see your way safe through the rain.
Thought of a still resilient voice,
Says love is very near.
There can be miracles (miracles),
When you believe (When you believe).
Though hope is frail,
It's hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles,
You can achieve. (You can achieve)
When you believe.
Somehow you will,
You will when you believe.
You will when you believe.
You will when you believe.
Just believe.
You will when you believe.
The five girls finished their song.
Applause echoed all over the planet.
Suddenly, their friends and family all rushed up to them, and smothered them with hugs and even a few kisses.
"Congratulations guys!"
"You were great"
Serenity hugged her daughter. "I'm so very proud of you girls. And for that..."
All five of them were handed a bowl of vanilla pudding with pink food coloring and strawberries.
"Yummy!"
The four asteroid senshi began to dig in.
"Hey Aunt Serenity, we want some too!"
Sailor Moon grinned and flashed a peace sign to all the world, as she spooned a scoop of pudding into her mouth. "I am Sailor Moon, champion of love and justice! In the name of the Moon... I will eat bowl after bowl of this pudding until I'm sick!"
Everyone laughed, as Sailor Moon popped a strawberry into her mouth.
The Moon hung high over all of them. It seemed to shine down on Sailor Moon that night, as they all laughed and made merry and partied like a bunch of crazy teenagers. It was a new beginning of a new era. But what lays ahead for our heroes and heroines? Don't worry. You'll find out. ^_~
