"Look Haruka, Makato, Minako and Raye are already up there, should we join
them?" Michiru asked staring up into Haruka's loving eyes. She did not
speak her response, just bowed her head and smiled, taking Michiru by the
hand as they made their way around tables and pacing by dancers, finally
making their way to the large table; taking the seats which Mamoru and Ami
were to be sitting in. "Hello girls." The two said sitting down. "Hello
Haruka, Michiru." The other girls replied, smiling and shaking their hands.
"How are you two? It's been a long time." Raye asked, taking a sip of her
drink. "Too long." Michiru replied. The other girls nodded in agreement as
Haruka answered. "We're good. We were actually just talking about how
different life is not being a sailor scout anymore. How much it's changed."
There was a bit of a lengthy silence as the other girls thought about that thought for a minute. "You're right." Makato said, "life is a lot different now that we're not scouts. We have ten thousand more responsibilities as Queens. And the only fights we get to battle are political ones. No more punching and kicking. It's a total drag." Makato continued on as Ami and Hotaru walked into the room from the balcony. "Hi. What are you girls talking about?" Hotaru asked taking her seat. Being the youngest of the scouts had never stopped her from becoming good friends with the others. They were all friends and soldiers together, it had created a bond with no age limits. "The good old days." Minako replied.
"We should all take our appropriate seats now girls, Usagi and her mother should be arriving soon." Ami mentioned as Haruka stood up allowing Ami to take her seat. "Where's Mamoru?" Raye asked with curiosity. "He shall be arriving with Usagi and her mother. The true question is, where is Setsuna?" Ami replied glancing around the large ballroom. "You would think being able to control time she would be able to make it here on time." Hotaru pointed out, and the others all laughed. A full-hearted laugh that they hadn't shared with one another for far too long. Just then the door at the far end of the room were opened and Setsuna stood between them. Hurriedly she made her way to the head table and sat in her seat between Neptune and Saturn. "Sorry I'm late girls, I was in the lab with Kaorinite and Professor Tomoe." She wiped sweat from her brow and sipped some of the drink in front of her.
The others laughed and forgave her, warning her had she been any later and she would have missed the ceremony. There was a change in music and every one returned to their seats as a set of very large doors slowly began to open. On the other side stood Luna and Artemis, advisors to the Queen and her court. Behind them stood Usagi, Princess and after tonight, Queen of the Moon Kingdom, her long blond hair in its traditional 'meatballs' style. And next to her stood her future King, Mamoru of the Earth Kingdom. Luna and Artemis took their places standing at either end of the large table as Usagi and Mamoru stood awaiting the Queen.
