The Child of the Prophecy, Chapter Twenty-seven

'Well it looks like the brains have figured it out!' A laughing voice spoke next to them.

* * *

Amy and Taiki turned and saw three people in front of them. They both threw themselves at them where they were received with joyful hugs.

'Hello Taiki.' Trista greeted.

'Trista .' Taiki trailed off. He embraced her on his on and kissed her, passionately.

'Looks like they're hitting it off fine!' Tara joked. 'If none of you mind, I must go and find Yaten, see if he remembers me.'

'Hey, I'll come with you to find Seiya.' Kakyuu said and they walked through the crowds.

'So Amy, how've you been?'

'Good Serena! I've missed you though.' Serena reached out and hugged her friend closely.

'We've been through so much together Ames, it wouldn't have been right if I didn't come to you first.'

'Are you going to see Rei next?'

'Yep Amy, you're right as always. I'll then see Lita, then Mina, then Alex, Michelle, Seiya and Yaten if I can find them without their heads stuck together with Tara and Kakyuu. Then probably my parents and friends and then Darien. Oh and Luna and Artemis.' Serena was grinning. 'Try not to tell Darien where to find me.'

'You got it! I have to go see my mum.'

'Catch you in a bit Ames.'

Serena walked off and found, Rei with her grandpa, Chad, Lita and ken, her friend. Chad saw her first and bear hugged her. When he moved Lita and Rei saw her and they also threw themselves at her. She hugged them back as fiercely!

'Serena I love you. Your one of m best friends and I know I don't show it much but you're the best leader ever, I love you!'

'Rei, I love you too. And you Lita.' She hugged both and then said to Lita, 'I expect you to cook me a congratulations cake soon!'

'Of course I will, I'll bake a really big one, and then we can all eat it at the temple with our families or close friends!' As an after thought, she added, 'If that's ok grandpa?'

'Of course it is!' He replied happily at the thought of cake.

'Thanks grandpa.' The three girls chorused. Rei's grandpa insisted on everyone calling him grandpa, so they did.

'I have to go and see Mina now. See ya in a bit. Bye-z-Bye!'

A few minutes later, she found Mina dancing with Andrew. Mina, like the others, threw her arms around Serena.

'Serena, you're the best!' Mina greeted her cheerily, even though her eyes with flowing with tears.

'And so are you!' Serena said and then turned to Andrew, 'What? No hug?'

'Sure, come here!' And he also wrapped his arms around Serena.

When they parted, Serena said, 'By the way, if you see Darien, don't mention me, I want to surprise him.'

With their promise, she walked off and found Alex and Michelle, talking with Taiki and Trista.

'Hey!' As expected, she was encased in another bear hug, which she returned.

'So how are you both?'

'Fine!'

'All because of you!'

'Listen Serena, I was the leader while you were gone, but now your back, it's your job. Never realised how hard you worked.' Alex started.

'Yeah, your are the best person for the job!' Michelle finished for Alex.

'Thanks guys! I love you too!' She hugged them again but this time, Taiki and Trista joined in.

After a while, she found Seiya, Yaten, Tara and Kakyuu and was greeted by them in the same way as the others had. She stumbled into Molly and Melvin and chatted with them.

'I'm sorry I never told you about me being Sailor Moon and everything, but it was to kept you all safe!'

'That's ok Serena.' Melvin said.

'I'm just glad you're alive!' Molly hugged her friend.

Melvin almost spoilt the moment by saying, 'Hey Serena, because you were born on the moon, that makes you an alien! Hey there IS life on other planets!'

Both Molly and Serena acted in the way they had done when he had done something stupid when they were in Haruna's class.

'MELVIN!' And a hit to the head.

After Serena had finished with them, she started to her family and was stopped by Miss Haruna, her teacher when Serena had first become Sailor Moon.

'Serena, I can't believe that in my class, the laziest pupil I have ever seen is the legendary Sailor Moon!' She exclaimed.

'Well, I am!' She didn't really know what to say.

'And, 'Miss Haruna continued, 'I can't believe that you are a princess! It's unbelievable.'

Serena just laughed and to prove that she was, she shifted into her Princess Serenity gown.

'Serena, you look beautiful!'

'Thank you!'

When she finally got to her family, she decided to sneak up on them. She threw her arms around Sammy who struggled and finally stopped when his parents crushed into him. When he was freed, he turned and saw his sister and they smiled at each other.

Ken Tsukino broke the silence first, 'So Serena, are you going to marry Darien?'

'If he asks me!'

'Which means when he asks me!'

'SAMMY!' It was like nothing had happened, they started to bicker like normal brothers and sisters do but they were interrupted by their parents.

'Serena, we've invited Darien to spend Sunday's with us and so you'll have to be there then.'

Serena looked at her mum and smiled, 'Of course I will. As long as you allow Luna to teach Sammy manner son how to behave a dinner, seeing as though he'd be in the presence of the heir to the thrones of the moon and the earth.' She teased. Sammy moved so that he could kick her up the backside but she moved into the human arms of Luna and Artemis.

'Well done princess, you've made us proud!' Artemis smiled widely.

'Yes, for once I agree with him. Your mother would have been proud!' Luna teased and then spoke seriously.

'I knew she is Luna, she helped us remember ourselves.'

There was nothing much to say, their praise was the best thing that they could have given Serena.

By the time that she had recounted her story of what had happened on the asteroid, Serena had the chance to look for her prince. And she found him, with the group of 'friends' that he had been with when Alex had hit him.

She walked boldly up to him and tapped his shoulder. He turned in surprised and his face was one for the books. From surprise to happiness to love. His whole face smiled as he moved to her. She grinned at him as he embraced her, forcing her slightly backwards to give her the kiss of the ages.

People around them looked as they saw what was going on, their clothes were changing, and when the light that had surrounded them faded, their royal clothes were on. When they surfaced form air, Serena's family, friends, royal advisors, and court were around them. Tara started to clap and Trista followed suit. It caught on and the noise around them was tremendous.

Serena thought that this was one of the most happiness moments of her life. However, the next thing that happened changed that.

Darien helped her to stand straight and he let go of her to her surprise and sadness.

He then reached into his pocket and got down on his knees. The noise subsided and you could hear a pin drop.

In his hand he held an open box that contained a ring. With his right hand, he held her right hand

'Serena, love of my life, 1000 years ago, you accepted my proposal as Serenity, the Moon Princess. Now, I kneel before you as Darien with the same amount of love in him for you as Endymion had for Serenity, Will you do me the great honour of becoming my wife?'

'Of course I will!' He took the ring out of the box and he placed it on her finger. She looked don at it. It was made of beautiful pure gold. A red ruby overlapped a pure silver crescent moon, cut in the shape of a rose was on it.

'Oh Darien, it's beautiful!' She gasped.

'Only as beautiful as the woman who is wearing it.' He replied gently. He softly kissed her on the lips and then swept her off her feet and spun around with her. If you thought the noise that had erupted when they kissed was tremendous, this was double that! The crowds clapped and cheered, and those from the Silver Millennium surrounded the princess and prince.
