Ok, finally I post this. I know some people said to just post all of the
epilogues, and I was but then I had Serena dead in them. Everyone wanted to
see Serena alive, and so she is.
You never know, if you ask nicely, I might just post all the other epilogues, I don't know .
OH MY GOD! 101 REVIEWS! I never thought I'd get that many! *Hugs all reviewers*

.:: Epilogue ::.
I felt myself waking, but I knew I wasn't anywhere familiar.
"This is the resting place of all royalty of the Solar System," a soft, gentle voice spoke, startling me. Turning towards the voice, I gasped. "Yes darling one, it is me." My mother, Queen Serenity.
"Mother." I threw my arms around her, burying my head in the crook of her neck.
"Darling one, you are not completely dead. You have the choice of whether you stay here with us, or whether you return to the world of the living.2 I lifted my head and looked at her.
"Do I have to choose now?" I asked.
"I'm afraid so."
"I have to return then. I promised Sammy that he'd see his sister again. I can't leave him or the others," I replied sadly.
"Very well, but first come with me," We stood up and she offered me her hand. I gave mine to her and as we walked through beautiful white corridors, I noticed some changes to my body. Namely the wings that gently fluttered with each step I took.
"When we die, we come here and we grow wings," she explained.
"Some say it's like becoming angels," a new voice joined the conversation, one that I had no difficulty in recognising. Once again I threw myself into the waiting arms, "Daddy!"
"Oh little one I missed you!" He held me tightly and I noticed another man standing regally by his side.
"Hello little Serenity,"
"Hello Prince Apollo," my mother's first love.
He smiled and my father released me slightly from his embrace. "Because you have entered this place you will keep your wings, but you will have the power to retract them into your body so they are less noticeable," my father said.
"Although the crystal was destroyed, it returned here, whole." Prince Apollo said. "Receive it now." I felt the familiar warmth of the crystal's power surrounding me, the crystal appearing in my cupped hands.
"Be easy on Ken and Ilene Tsukino, they thought it was for the good of their son. We would have turned away anything that threatened your wellbeing too." Mother said.
"I understand mother."
"Remember, when you are lost, always let the crystal guide you back safely." My father said. Nodding, I drew the three of them into a hug and felt myself being pulled back into the living world.
~*~*~*~
I was surrounded in my usual pink light as I floated down to the Ice Lake. I was touched by the flowers that lay there, around the place where I had ascended into the Royal Heavens.
I skated gracefully towards the edge of the Lake, to where house the schools had been staying. I noticed snow had fallen, but why? It was after all spring-time,
Pushing the thought to the back of my mind, I focused on Darien's presence. I needed to see him. Things that were said in the heat of the moment could always be misinterpreted. I hoped that this had been the case between us.
~*~*~*~
My wings beat gently and I soared slowly upwards. He was on his balcony. Inwardly, I was smirking at his confused and somewhat sad face.
"You look sad," I stated simply.
"You look like an angel, Serenity," he answered softly.
"You used to call me that," I landed by his side.
"You used to always need my help, now you are dead," his gaze returned to the forest.
"I'm not dead." The words were light, but carried great weight. His gaze returned to me.
"But I saw," he trailed off, tears forming in his eyes.
"Shhh," I raised my hand and placed it on his cheek. His own hand covered it and held it in place.
"I want you need me, I am nothing without you." The tears fell silently.
"I still need you, I always will."
With his remaining arm, he pulled me close, his arm resting around my waist. "I love you Serenity," he kissed me, "I love you Serena," he kissed me again, "I love you Sailor Moon," another kiss, "I love you Moonlight wanderer," our lips met again, "And I always will love you darling angel, never will you leave my side without knowing it."
Our lips met again for a final time. The love we felt for each soared high and fireworks exploded in the skies as our hearts beat as one.
"Forever," I whispered.
"Forever," he agreed.
I waved my hand and the crystal appeared. "Whole," he whispered.
I smiled. And energy rushed through us, the light subsided and he smiled. "Thank you darling angel. I can finally remember our past."
~*~*~*~
After staying in Darien's loving embrace, I flew upwards, to my brothers room.
His window was open and so I entered, as I had previously done as the moonlight Wanderer.
"Hi."
"Serena?" He questioned. I nodded. "You died."
"I died, yes, but it would not be the first time and I still have the urge to live." I told him.
"So you're not a ghost?"
"I'm very real brother."
"Are you sure you're not an angel?" He asked, his eyes alerted to my wings.
I laughed softly, "Yes I'm sure, I do have the power to remove the wings, but I'm growing rather attached to them."
He moved quickly towards me. "I hate you Serena."
"Why? What did I do now?"
"You know that I've worshipped Sailor Moon and you couldn't tell me that I was dreaming about my sister." He threw his arms around me and I hugged him close.
"Well now you know, so you can stop. I can promise that Darien will not take it lightly if he finds out that he has competition."
"So you're with him?"
"Yes, I love Sammy, I always will."
He hugged me tighter. And so I did the same to him. Both of us were startled by the sudden opening of his door.
"Sammy-" Ilene Tsukino had walked in. Her husband was right behind her.
"Serena." She whispered. I felt Sammy's grasp tighter even more, I released him gently and pushed him off towards the side of me.
Ilene walked to me, slowly and cautiously raised her hand, in a similar motion that I had used earlier on Darien. She, however, retracted her hand. In an instance I had encased her hand in mine. I smiled at her and she pulled me into a strong hug.
"I'm sorry. I love you, I didn't realise." She cried, and tried to continue. I pulled back and wiped her tears.
"I love you, and I understand." I turned to Ken, "I love you too."
I was crushed once again as both my parents hugged me. I felt Sammy being pulled from behind and he completed the hug.
"I don't understand." Sammy said as we separated from each other. "Why did you treat Serena like that?"
"We thought that Darien was corrupting her innocence and that she might corrupt you. Had we realised her past, it would have been completely different." My father said.
"Just put it behind you," I said, turning away. "I'll see you soon." Once outside, I stretched my wings and flew upwards again. Looking for the one person who was expecting me.
~*~*~*~
Arriving on the top of building I smiled at the Guardian of Time. She bowed formally towards me, "Princess Serenity."
"Princess Pluto," I greeted. We both grinned at each other.
"Nice show,"
"I knew you would like it. Now tell me, is it about to get better?" I asked, knowing she would not tell me the answer.
Her smile widened.
Back in the Silver Millennium, we had been good friends and I was happy to see her again, with all my memories of the past together. I had startled Luna and Artemis when I had leapt across the room to hug her. It was when I was explaining my plan to them and the purple light had appeared. It was Trista, the Guardian of Time. I also believe they were startled because she hardly ever is allowed to get involved in the affairs of life that remove her from the Gate of Time.
"Well come along then, let's get this party on the road," I said, she smiled.
~*~*~*~
In the main room, I saw the Sailor Scouts and Royal Guard being pestered for stories. Darien was there, well really it was Prince Endymion, he had shifted to his prince attire, and he was chatting happily away to Andrew. Sammy and my parents were there too, all smiling.
Sailor Pluto stood by me, clearing her throat.
Silence.
Grinning Endymion walked forward to us. He bowed before us and we showed him the same respect.
"Princess Serenity, it is lovely of you to have graced us with your presence." I could see his eyes smirking, laughing and full of amusement.
"Yes my prince, but I could not allow you to live without me. You need someone to rule the Earth with you."
"Yes, that I do." He pressed a soft kiss to my forehead. Grinning, he moved and stood on my other side.
Sailor Saturn, Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune stood before and bowed regally to me.
"Princess Serenity."
"It is an honour to finally see you three once more." I said.
"And it is our honour to take up the vow we made a long time ago." Sailor Saturn said.
I knew then that they had regained their memories. My heart went out to the Inner Scouts, their faces were confused and blank. They did not realise that although this was a very formal meeting, we were all playing a joke.
Once again I called the crystal forth, and the light surrounded everyone in the hall. The outer scouts moved to my right side, and Darien to behind me, his arms around my waist.
Luna and Artemis walked through the gap that had been created. A bow from the royal advisors who then settled themselves at my feet.
Sailor Venus and Lord Malachite were the first to walk through. Both, bowed and took their place that they had always had. At the left hand side of me and Darien.
Sailor Jupiter and Lord Nephlyte were the next two. And following them, Sailor Mercury and Lord Zoicyte.
Sailor Mars and Lord Jedyte now stood before us. I smiled, detaching myself from Endymion. Jedyte moved to his place beside Zoicyte and I encased Raye in a hug.
"You always fall for the fool." My smile widened and she smiled back, guiltily.
"I guess I have a radar for evil creeps."
"Hey I resent that!" Jedyte said, in mock outrage.
We all laughed.
~*~*~*~
I separated myself and Darien from the crowd. I still had to keep my promise that I made, only a few days ago.
"Molly," I called, she looked startled. "I'm still Serena, just probably not as clumsy." She smiled.
Darien's hand was encased in mine. "I believe that you two have met. Darien this is one of my best friends, Molly. Molly this is my true love of over a thousand years, Prince Endymion."
He held out his hand, "Please, just call me Darien."
"It's nice to meet you." She shook his hand.
The soft sound of the mother's singing reached my ears, along with my father's and Prince Apollo's. And I knew that everything was going to be fine.
You never know, if you ask nicely, I might just post all the other epilogues, I don't know .
