This is it!!! The end!!!! Yay!!!
************************
"Everything is as it should be..." Setsuna whispered standing up and walking away, one silent tear making it's way down her cheek.
***********************
*Falling. She was falling. The ice cold air stabbed her like a thousand knives as she fell further and further through the darkness. She winced in pain but did not make a sound. She felt the air grow warmer, but before she noticed any big chances, everything blacked out.*
She opened her eyes blinking several times expecting to find herself staring at the stone wall of the Moon palace, or perhaps maybe even the ceiling of death, but she only saw the pastel blue ceiling of the room she shared with Michiru. She blinked a few more times to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. The ceiling remained the same. Her happy smile vanished when she remembered Michiru.
' Oh god she can't be dead!' Haruka thought panicking as she remembered what had happened. Her own death, though, she did not remember. Quickly looking beside her she sighed with relief to see her Michiru sleeping peacefully next to her.
Lying back down, she ran a hand through Michiru's soft green hair. She felt a tear of happiness roll down her cheek. She was happy to be alive. She was happy to be free. She was happy that her past was over and gone. She was happy that Michiru was with her. She was happy that her mother was long dead...she was...wait. Her mother...Queen Neptune...they had been in love. They had sacrificed themselves for her and Michiru. They allowed them to share this love...Haruka felt the hate slip away as the tears came faster. She cried for her mother. Yet her tears were happy ones. Her mother could now spend eternity with the one she loved and Haruka knew that because of her mother's and Michiru's mothers sacrifices, she could spend eternity with Michiru. Michiru stirred and brought Haruka out of her thoughts.
"Haruka?" Michiru whispered. "You're alive!" Michiru cried out with happiness tears beginning to stream down her cheeks too.
"It's ok, Michiru. It was just a memory..." Haruka said holding Michiru close to her.
"Aishiteru," Michiru said kissing Haruka sweetly.
Haruka kissed her back remembering everything she had gone through to get this kiss.
"Aishiteru," she whispered back.
"Is Hotaru-chan ok? And Setsuna-chan? Are they back?" Michiru asked.
"Let's go see," Haruka said. She got out of bed to realize she was wearing the blue dress she had worn at the ball so many years ago.
"Haruka?" Michiru asked puzzled after seeing Haruka's dress and noticing she had hers on too. "I thought it was just a memory. I thought we were just watching...Were we actually...?"
"Michiru, are you ok?" Haruka asked panicked as she noticed a stain of blood on her dress.
"What?" Michiru asked confused then she noticed it too. Slowly she touched the spot then looked at her hand. "It's dry. It doesn't hurt at all..." Michiru said. "How could this be?"
"I...It felt so real like I was really there but I thought that was because it was my memory...Could we have really been there again?" Haruka asked.
"I don't know..." Michiru said half in her own thoughts. "Let's go check on Setsuna-chan and Hotaru-chan."
They walked through the hall towards Hotaru's room only to meet up with Setsuna and Hotaru heading over to their room.
"Haruka-papa! Michiru-mama!" Hotaru exclaimed running towards them.
"Hey, Hotaru-chan," Haruka said hugging the happy little girl.
"Setsuna-chan....you're wearing your dress too..." Michiru said.
"Yes," Setsuna replied.
"I miss Cookie-chan! And I miss dancing in the rain! And I miss the food fight! And I miss Former Queen Selenity!" Hotaru exclaimed sadly.
"It was just a memory Hotaru-chan. They were real but they were so long ago in your past," Michiru said.
"Former Queen Selenity?" Haruka asked wrinkling her nose.
"She was so funny! Hehe and I bet she didn't notice the dirt I slipped into her tea..." Hotaru said.
"DIRT?" Haruka exclaimed. "I wish I could've seen her reaction!"
Michiru watched Haruka and Hotaru walk off towards to kitchen.
"Setsuna-chan," Michiru started, "That was all real wasn't it? We were all really there being ourselves..."
"Yes. That's why it seemed so real."
"But how did we see what else was going on? Like Queen Neptune and Queen Uranus that day in the garden..."
"You were experiencing what you had forgotten, but you also got to see all sides of the story. You now know the struggle you went through with Haruka-chan...that's what you need to know. You also need to know about two of your past lives that you didn't even know you had." Setsuna said.
"Mhmm...yes. I love Haruka so much. Experiencing those memories just makes me love her more. We'll never be apart. Never..." Michiru said more thinking to herself than anything.
Setsuna remained quiet, her stare focusing on the ground.
"Well...And I am so hungry! When was the last time I ate? A 1000 years ago!" Michiru exclaimed, then she noticed Setsuna. "Setsuna-chan...I...well..." Michiru started not knowing what to say.
"Forget about it," Setsuna said starting off towards the kitchen.
"Setsuna-chan!" Michiru called out.
"What?" Setsuna asked stopping and facing Michiru.
"Don't give up, Setsuna-chan. Destiny can be overcome. Just because it isn't in your destiny to love doesn't mean you can't. What was the whole memory about anyway? I'm sure it wasn't just for me and Haruka..." Michiru said.
"You're right, Michiru-chan," Setsuna said realizing that Michiru was right.
Michiru smiled and headed for the kitchen. She could hear Haruka and Hotaru fighting over the cookies.
"Settle down you two!" Michiru said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Awwww...don't tell me I'm gonna get fat! I want to eat cookies!" Haruka exclaimed.
"Give me those!" Michiru said grabbing 5 cookies out of Haruka's hands and stuffing them in her mouth.
"Michiru-mama!" Hotaru exclaimed seeing there was only one left.
Haruka looked at Hotaru then the cookie then Hotaru then the cookie then Hotaru then...the cookie was gone! Hotaru held it up smiling.
"Give it to me!" Haruka shouted as she chased Hotaru around the room.
Michiru sat watching them smiling. The shouts were heard throughtout the house. Then Hotaru could be heard saying, "THAT'S NOT FAIR!" and Haruka could be heard saying, "HAHAHA! IT'S ALL MINE! ALL MINE! AHH YOU LITTLE...!" Hotaru had kidnapped the cookie again.
Michiru stood up and started cleaning the mess but two blurs running by left another trail of cookie crumbs. Sighing Michiru started cleaning again, trying to ignore the shouts and screams in the background.
"Michiru-chan?"
"Hai?" Michiru asked looking up to see Setsuna.
"Arigatou," Setsuna said smiling. Michiru smiled back at her but the moment was interrupted by Haruka tripping over Michiru's broom.
"Shit..." Haruka cursed for she knew the cookie was doomed to be Hotaru's.
"NO!" Hotaru shouted.
Haruka looked up in surprise to see Setsuna stuffing the cookie into her mouth.
"Delishoush!" Setsuna exclaimed her eyes lit up. She left Haruka and Hotaru glaring at her. Whistling she made her way outside and prepared to go into the world with a different outlook.
*****************
Haruka and Hotaru both quietly slumped through the kitchen.
"What's wrong you two?" Michiru asked. "Forgot about these?" She held up another box of cookies.
Hotaru's eyes lit up and Haruka started drooling.
"Gimme cookie..." Haruka said as if in a trance.
"Nope. Not until you two clean up this mess!" Michiru said as she walked out of the kitchen, box of cookies in hand.
"NO FAIR MICHIRU! YOU'RE SO CRUEL!" Haruka shouted as she watched Michiru walk out.
"Guess we should clean it," Hotaru said.
"Ya..." Haruka agreed. They both stood there.
"We can't just let her have them!" Haruka exclaimed.
"Ya! Come on!" and they both made their way out of the kitchen hunting for Michiru and the box of cookies.
"You're supposed to be working," Michiru said stuffing cookies into her mouth when she saw Haruka and Hotaru walk in.
"Don't play boss with me! I WANT COOKIES!" Haruka shouted diving for the box of cookies. She grabbed them only to be tackled by Hotaru.
"NO I WANT THEM!" Hotaru shouted.
"Give them to me!" Michiru said trying to pull them out of Haruka's grasp. The tug of war continued and it ended up with all three of them lying on the floor stuffed.
"Haruka?" Michiru asked.
"Yaaaaaaaaaa..." Haruka said sleepily.
Michiru crawled over to Haruka and leaned over her.
"You know Michiru, there's a kid in the room," Haruka said thinking Michiru's motives were different.
"Don't be silly, Haruka. I want the last cookie!" and with that she pulled the cookie out of Haruka's unsuspecting hands and ate it in one bite.
"Noooo..." Haruka said having only enough strength to say that. Michiru smiled happily and lay down next to Haruka. The room was silent for a little while.
"You know what?" Hotaru asked breaking the silence.
"What?" Haruka and Michiru both asked.
"Even though I miss some of the people from the past, I would rather have the present anyday. I would rather have you and Michiru-mama and Setsuna-mama then all the cookies Cookie-chan could give me," Hotaru said.
"That's so sweet Hotaru-chan," Michiru said. "Isn't that sweet Haruka?"
Soft breathing was heard in reply. "Haruka?" Michiru asked again. She turned to see Haruka sleeping smiling peacefully. She looked like a child who had just gotten a cookie.
"Wonder what she's dreaming about..." Michiru said.
"No...no...I didn't put the dirt in your tea!" Haruka shouted in her sleep, her expression changing into a panicked one.
Hotaru smiled. "I guess Former Queen Selenity just discovered the dirt..."
"She did say she wanted to see her reaction," Michiru said.
Hotaru and Michiru lay back down and pretty soon sleep was taking over Michiru too.
"I love you, Michiru-mama," Hotaru said quietly as she closed her eyes.
Michiru smiled and looked lovingly at the sleeping child.
'Everything is as it should be...' she thought as she moved closer to Haruka, sighed happily, and fell asleep.
