Across the Ages-Epilogue
Author's Note: Well, I know it's been a long, long, loooonnngg time since I began this story. I'd like to show my appreciation to all of you who sent in reviews or e-mailed me, asking for more chapters, suggestions, or a possible sequel. I had to give up on creative writing for a while, since graduating high school has been in the top slot lately. Grrrrr....so close, and yet so far...
Anyway, I read this story over again to refresh my memory, and I believe I can do a lot better. I mean, this one felt really rushed and sometimes kind of "fakey" to me. But, hey, I was young. I was inexperienced.
I've decided to write a sort of sequel/continuation of this story. I'm hoping it will turn out to be better than the original...I'm playing with a plot line as we speak...or read...whatever. So...stay tuned, I guess!
Tokyo
Serena and the other girls stepped out of the time chamber with little less than sheer disappointment and longing etched on their faces. However, what needed to be done was finished. It was time to continue on with their normal work, in the present time.
Sailor Pluto shut the door tightly behind her. "I cannot express my gratitude to you, Sailors," she spoke. "You've really accomplished something on this mission, and you handled leaving very maturely."
Lita and Mina sighed. "Are you sure we can't ever go back?" asked Mina.
Sailor Pluto shook her head. "I'm afraid not. I don't plan on ever being tricked like that again, and I can't let you go back when there are matters to be attended to here."
"Like what?" asked Serena.
"Well," Pluto began, "it's a bit complicated. You see, this entire chain of events should not have happened. It was a fault of mine that foiled the whole plot of what was supposed to happen. The Gundam pilots were supposed to fight in another war, and you girls, well..."
"What? What were we supposed to do?" asked Raye.
"I can't reveal that to you. But, the fact is that an entirely different series of events was supposed to take place, and thanks to me, it didn't," explained Pluto.
"So, what are you planning to do?" said Amy.
Pluto began, "It's difficult to explain. Try to imagine the flow of time as one very long piece of cloth. We go along the path of this cloth throughout our entire lives. If we fall off the cloth, we die. If not, we continue into the new worlds that the future brings. What I am planning to do is create a tiny 'fold' in this fabric, you see. Therefore, time would simply skip over that little rift in the cloth."
"You mean...we'd forget all about what happened?" asked Mina, troubled by the proposition.
"No, no," explained Pluto, "I didn't say cutting, I said folding. You should retain all your memories of that time, but the general public will probably forget or think they dreamed it. All materials created in that time would disappear, of course, and that way, time can continue along its normal path. Do you understand?"
Amy nodded tentatively, and Raye looked like she accepted the theory, but the other three were still a bit in the dark.
Pluto created a bubble to send them all back to their home. "Don't worry if you don't understand, Sailors, just don't forget about your journey to the future and all the valuable things you learned!" After sending them off, she created her own bubble to go back to A.C. 196 and explain to the Gundam pilots.
A.C. 196 - Space Colony 4
The pilots sat rather quietly, thinking about what Pluto had just told them.
"Why was it so important to alter the path of time?" asked Duo. "I mean, what's going to happen in the future that could be more important than our last battle?"
"I don't know," said Heero, still deep in thought.
"I suppose we'll find out eventually," said Trowa. "We'll just have to wait."
And so, the Sailor Scouts in Tokyo continued on into their Sailor Moon S adventures, as the Gundam pilots also completed the Endless Waltz war. However, none of the fighters ever forgot about their counterparts in another time, and hoped that one day, they may meet again.
Coming soon...the obvious answer to this cliffhanger conclusion!! Bwa ha ha! But it's not as you may think it's going to be.... ^.^
