Epilogue:
Serenity leaned over the bed and gently kissed her sleeping daughter good night. She and the rest of the Scouts were just about to leave when a crash sounded from Small Lady's closet, successfully waking the sleeping child. The Scouts moved into fighting stances while the queen moved back to protect her child. Sailor Midnight swung open the closet door only to have six males tumble out. Neo-King Darien, General Jedite, Knight Ken, Scribe Greg, Sage Chad, and Ambassador Andrew fell out of the closet, piling one on top of another. The Scouts backed off but still glared angrily at their mates.
Midnight was the first one to start. A small giggle escaped her lips and she started to chuckle quietly. Her laughter was contagious and finally all the girls were rolling on the ground at the sight of Crystal Tokyo's heroes piled into a closet to hear bedtime stories. Neo Queen Serenity was the first to find her voice.
"You hid in there all night?" The men nodded sheepishly, bowing their heads in mock shame. Amy, being the smart one, suddenly had a grand idea. She called all the girls, including Reeny into a huddle. She whispered her plan excitedly while the men looked nervously at one another. They all knew that they were in trouble now.
The Senshi turned back to their lovers and Serenity spoke up, her voice serious but her eyes sparkling with mischief.
"You will have to be punished. You listened to my story, even when I told you not to," she looked pointedly at Darien when she said this, "and to make things worse, woke up my daughter when she had finally gotten to sleep. Your punishment will fit the crime." The men cringed as Serenity and the Scouts grinned evilly.
"You will have to put Reeny to bed every night for a week, starting tomorrow night." The men relaxed as they realized that their punishment wasn't that harsh. The Scouts exchanged a knowing smile as they were led out of Small Lady's room. They couldn't wait for tomorrow.
The Scouts gathered in Serenity's bedroom the next night, celebrating the completion of their 'deal'. It was like an old fashion sleep over for them; each girl dressed in cute pajamas while they snacked on popcorn and watched a medium sized monitor in the corner of the room. Amy and Jennifer, both being technically inclined, had hooked up a small, hidden camera in Small Lady's room. They couldn't wait for the guys to try and put her to bed.
The guys came in one by one, the last one carrying a wiggling Reeny into the room. Darien placed his daughter onto the bed and tried to tuck her in.
"Now, sweetheart, go to bed." Reeny got an evil glint in her eyes and immediately jumped up and started to run around. The men groaned and tried to chase her. The Scouts, who were watching everything, burst out into hysterical laughter. Their laughter only increased as they heard Reeny propose a 'deal' similar to their own. The guys' arrangement had a slight catch to it: none of the men could tell the same story the any of the Scouts did. The men looked in horror at the small child, each one realizing that the task would be a lot harder than he thought. The girls clapped excitedly as Greg shook Reeny's hand and sealed the deal and curled around the monitor, anticipating the first story. After all, each one of the Scouts was a child at heart and loved to hear fairy tales.
"Once upon a time…"
The End.
Yeah!! That's all finished. I'm debating on whether to do a sequel or not. Because of the relative lack of response to this fic, probably not but you never know. Email me with suggestions, comments, complaints, flames, etc. I love to get email. Thanks for reading!!
