Michiru was surprised to see Usagi's eyes flutter open. She sat up slowly and saw Mamoru and Neflyte trying their best to keep their distance and defend themselves. She saw her brother's body as well as Kunzite's lying on the floor unconscious.
Mamoru and Jedite was equal blow by blow. With Solandre and Kunzite's energy within him, Jedite knew he was more than a match for the young Prince. However, he needed to finish Neflyte first.
He waited for a chance to strike. " I hear Princess Mercury's quite a catch" Jedite taunted. " I think after this, I'll take her for myself!"
Neflyte saw red. He lost all logical thoughts and ran towards Jedite with anger in his heart.
"Foolish boy!"
"NEGAVERSE WILL PREVAIL!"
Mamoru backed away, but Neflyte kept running. Mercury screamed and cried as he fell. With all her sorrow and anger built up within her, she screamed.
" MERCURY BUBBLES BLAST!!!"
Jedite was slightly fazed but smirked. He threw another energy ball at her and she hit the farthest tree in the park, falling unconscious. All that was left was Mamoru Usagi.
She saw Jedite's evil grin and Mamoru's weakened state. Michiru felt her pain. " You have it in you, Usagi. Help Mamoru. Use the crystal"
Usagi nodded and stood. Mamoru saw this and so did Jedite. He threw a blast at her, but Mamoru ran towards her and carried her to safety.
" I thought you were gone. I-I" Mamoru was cut off. Usagi smiled.
" Let's do this together, my love"
Mamoru was speechless. Usagi, HIS Usagi had just said she loved him. Him. Not Endymion. Him. He nodded happily and raised the crystal above his head as Usagi did.
" GOLDEN CRYSTAL" " COSMIC MOON" "ATTACK" "POWER"
A bright light shone between the two. After it settled, Jedite was no where to be found. All that was left was a small cracked jade stone and awakening guards.
=========================
"What happened?"
Michiru smiled as the senshi all woke up. They saw the two standing couples gazing into each other's eyes.
" I thought I lost you, Serenity"
"I will never leave you, Endy. ever"
They all went back to the mansion with their memories in tact and their hearts just a bit lighter than before. If Jedite was this hard to beat, how were they going to beat Beryl?
Usagi didn't want to think about it. She was about to call Mamoru in for bed, but realized that he was cured now and that he was in one of the guestrooms down the hall farthest away from hers.
She blushed as she thought of what she had said. 'He called me Serenity. I called him Endy.'
She painfully sat on her comfortable bed and wondered where Luna and Artemis had been this whole time.
'Probably out thinking up a plan on how to defeat the Negaverse.'
With that, she fell into a dreamless sleep and let her aching muscles rest.
=============================
Mamoru laid unmoving on the bed. 'What happens now?' He asked himself. ' I didn't say I loved Usa. I called here Serenity. and. what happens to us? We can't just return to our normal lives.'
He thought about how she looked now. 'She looks like she's 21. not 15.'
Sighing, he turned to his side, flinching at the bruise on his ribs. After a few minutes, he welcomed a good night's rest.
============================
Motoki and Mina had shared a room that night.
"how are you feeling?"
"Sore"
"What now?"
Motoki looked at his new 'fiancée' and smiled. " What do you mean, what now?"
Mina slapped him playfully. " Perv. Not that! I mean. now that Mamoru's back. with his memories. what happens? Are they going to be themselves again. are they going to continue their lives. or.?"
Motoki shrugged. " I'm not sure." He kissed his fiancée's shoulder. " But right now. I want to sleep"
Mina yawned softly. "Hmm. good choice. me too"
===========================
Michiru, Haruka and Setsuna were in the kitchen discussing the battle. Setsuna was saddened by the information that Michiru had given to them.
" They've weakened a bit." She said. " Maybe they're just rusty. but. they weren't as strong as they were back then."
Setsuna sighed. " They'll need training. Lots of it. We can help them in that area."
Haruka nodded. " As much as I hate to say it. they need us. Now more than ever. If we don't train them. who knows what will happen?"
Silence surrounded the three.
" Don't worry. As long as the princess and the prince are together. nothing can stand in their way"
They turned to the voice and smiled. Hotaru was intelligent, for a girl her age. She held so many secrets deep within her. But for some reason, they knew that what she had just said was true.
"The only matter of our concern is if they will stay together now that they know the truth."
==========================
Morning came quickly and everyone had a nice breakfast. Usagi was the first one to wake up, surprising everyone by making the feast herself.
" It's a new day!" she said happily. " And for once, I'm thankful that we don't have any battles to fight"
Her enthusiasm rubbed off on everyone as they nodded in agreement.
" Now, eat up or you'll be late for school!"
Everyone was silent. Usagi hadn't changed back. She wasn't herself anymore, no she was Serenity now. She wasn't the ditzy teenager who bumped into anyone and everyone. She was now 21.
" Usa." Ami started. " What are you going to do all day?"
Usagi smiled. " Housework."
Setsuna facefaulted as she pictured Usagi breaking every vase in the house.
" Maybe work after."
Mina saw the sadness in her friend's eyes. She now understood why Usagi always acted childish. Her childhood was stripped from her so quickly. She no longer had the freedom to be a normal teen. No, she had to work now. She was an adult.
" Anyway, if you guys don't hurry up soon, you'll be late for homeroom. "
Ami bowed her head. " Haruna-sensei won't mind."
Usagi shook her head and pointed to the door. " No! If your grades fall young lady, your mother will have my head!"
She laughed and hugged her before stepping out the door with Ryo attached to her arm. " Be sure to be back before dinner! I'm making something special!"
Mina and Motoki soon followed as well as Rei and Yuuchiro. Makoto offered to stay and help with the dishes but was shooed away.
" Are you sure you will be fine?" Haruka asked. " You're going to be alone in the house."
Usagi nodded and smiled cheerfully. "Of course I will! I have chores to do. no homework and TV! That's enough for me!" she watched as Haruka drove her car with Michiru in the passenger seat. Then waved as Hotaru and Setsuna went as well.
Mamoru had taken leave early and had not had a chance to have breakfast. Thinking in her motherly state, she took a lunch box and packed in a healthy meal and headed for Azabu.
======================
Mamoru couldn't think straight. He just faced the board, but drowned the sensei's voice to a mere whisper. He needed to know what to say to Usagi once he went back to the mansion. He knew he loved her. but. was she in love with him or his past? He needed to gain her trust again. maybe get her to go out with him on a date or something.
Then he remembered that she worked for him. and that she was technically 'legally' married to him!
He smirked as his mood lightened and things were finally going his way.
" Care to tell us what is so amusing, Mr. Chiba?"
Mamoru woke from his daze and flushed with embarrassment. ' I don't get why I'm still here. technically. I'm over 20 now. I know all this!'
Nodding, he stood up proudly, making Motoki look at him strangely. 'Oh no. what stupid thing are you going to do now.. Mamoru?'
" I'm dropping out of College"
Motoki slapped his forehead and shook his head, but smiled. ' I bet this has something to do with a certain silver haired girl back in the mansion'
Suddenly, there was a light knock on the door. The sensei opened it, and Motoki's gaze was averted from his grinning friend to a woman at the door.
"Um, Mr. Chiba, it seems you have left your lunch and your. wife?. sent it to you..?"

Author's Note: This chapter. I don't know why. I just needed to put in something about how sucky I write battle description. and how I'm proving that I'm evil by doing these cliffhangers. But. once I finish the next chapter. this story is DONE!
