The Epilogue a.k.a. Chapter 10. Enjoy
Mary Ann, Tamahome is mine. You cannot have him.
Sorry, you are my bestest friend, but you can't have him.
Corie, he's off limits to you too! And so are Hotohori and
Lantis and Eagle, whilst I'm naming names! The are ALL
mine!
Disclaimer: Sailor Moon is not mine. It is going to
take years of therapy to come to grips with that. May as
well get started.

Chapter 10 – Epilogue
The Turning of the Page
Serena received a mysterious package in the mail two
months after the showdown at the Crystal Palace. Inside the
small, square package were two things; a CD and a letter.
The CD bore the logo 'MYSTIC VISIONS; Icing of the Sun' and
had a picture of the band of the cover, with Destiny front
and center. Serena had been following the band's progress
in the magazines and knew that a major record label had
offered the band a great deal a month and a half before.
The band had recorded their first CD and the songs 'Icing
of the Sun' and 'Mind's Mirage' had soared to Numbers 1 and
2 in the first week. Every time Serena turned on the radio,
she heard mention of Mystic Visions. The band had become an
international success, sweeping music awards around the
world. 'Icing of the Sun' had gone platinum last week, and
the music word stood in awe of this rising star. The band
was now involved in a world-wide tour and were planning to
record a second album. Serena headed for her room and
popped the CD in, listening as Skott and Destiny sang the
title track.
ICING OF THE SUN
I walk alone
And people call to me
But visions of the past
Stop me from being
What I want to be
The truth is
That what I seek
Is like vapor in the dawn
It fades before it can be caught
Before it can be won
It's like icing
Icing of the sun
That melts away as just as quickly as
It touches my heart
It fades
So quickly that I'm not
Sure it was ever really there
I wander lost in memory
And dream
I'm hoping for the one
Who will take me far away
I don't dare to seek
For I'm not sure what I will find
Some deadly truth
That even I can't face
For memories are deadly
And hard to erase
It's like icing
Icing of the sun
That melts away as quickly as
It touches my heart
It fades
So quickly that I'm not
Sure it was ever really there
I wander lost in memory
And dream
Serena smiled and opened the letter. Shocked to
realize it was from Destiny, Serena sat and read the
lilting print. Tears filled her eyes as she read it.
Serena~
I wanted to tell you how sorry I am for not saying
goodbye. I was confused and your friends were more than
willing to see me on my way. I had to go. My life has
turned out to be much more complicated than I thought.
I want to see you the next time I'm in town. It won't
be for a while, but if you're cool with it, maybe we could
get together. Have coffee or ice cream. Talk mostly. I'd be
glad to answer any questions you have about the Silver
Millenium.
I'm just hedging, I know. The real point of this
letter is to thank you. You saved me in a very real sense.
You saved me from myself, and from the path of destruction
I had set myself on. Thank you for that.
The CD is for you. I'm sure you've heard the rags to
riches story of Mystic Visions, so I won't bore you. But
number 12 is a little piece I wrote for Serenity. I'm told
that it is climbing the charts to number 1, and I wanted
you to now that the song is for her, and for you, a little.
I'm writing a song for you. It'll be on the next
album. It's called 'Light in the Darkness.' I'll get you a
free copy. Autographed, no less. I can get you concert
tickets and backstage passes for the next concert we do in
Tokyo. Let me know if you 're interested
Stay true to yourself Serena. You are your mother's
daughter in every way, and that is the highest compliment I
can give you. If ever you need me, just close your eyes and
think of me, and I will come, no matter where I am. I owe
you my life and my sanity, and I offer you my friendship.
You're all right, kid, and I swear my fealty and allegiance
to you as the future Queen of Crystal Tokyo.
Thank you again,
Destiny
Serena smiled at the letter, then rose and crossed to
her CD player. Pushing the FF button, Serena jumped the
disc to number 12 and settled back to listen.
THE EVENING STAR
All through my life
Things changed in crazy ways
People came and went
The season's passed me by
And the world seemed so large
But you were always there
To take my hand
And guide me on my way
I stood tall and proud for you
You saw me through it all
You were as constant
As the brightly shining moon
You stood strong as all the mountains
Your voice was like a favorite song
You showed me the way
Through night and day
Leading me along
My constant in this mixed up world
You're my Evening Star
You showed me all the beauty
That was here in this place
You taught me, and guided me
With patience like the sun
You never let me falter
But you were there to see me run
You were as constant
As the brightly shining moon
You stood strong as all the mountains
Your voice was like a favorite song
You showed me the way
Through night and day
Leading me along
My constant in this mixed up world
You're my Evening Star
My only constant in this mixed-up world
As shining as, as lovely as, as pure and bright and
shining as
My only Evening Star.
Serena was crying when the song had ended.
came the unexpected
reply,
Smiling, Serena nodded and rose to turn of her stereo.
Putting the CD carefully back in its case, she stored the
disc with the others in her collection.
"Serena, your friends are here!"
"Thanks, Mom."
Serena grabbed her beach back and slipped on her
sandals. Running downstairs, Serena kissed her mom goodbye
and ran outside into the warm afternoon, her heart soaring
with the clouds.
Mary Ann, Tamahome is mine. You cannot have him.
Sorry, you are my bestest friend, but you can't have him.
