Epilogue, The Wish:

It was a chance comment by Luna. "Queen Serenity made wishes

for all of you, and you're all wasting your opportunity!"It was that

chance comment that got Serena to begin thinking. She was sitting

on the edge of her bed, turning the crystal over in her hand. It

sparkled with an array of colors. A rainbow of colors that

represented each sailor soldier to Serena. Blue for Amy's pain and

missing her always absent father. A darker blue, indigo perhaps,

that represented Michelle and the impossible standards her usually

drunk parents set for her. Yellow for Mina and her sacrifice of the

one she loved so he could be happy. A darker yellow, golden almost,

for Amara's life of constantly shifting houses, never finding one

she could call home. Red for Raye's absent father and dead mother.

Purple for Hotaru's dead mother. Crimson for Trista's long, lonely

life at the time gate. Green for Lita's parents, killed in a plane

crash. And of course the original silver color of the crystal that

represented her own eternal ache along with the color of black for

Darien's life in the orphanage after losing his parents in a car

crash. Determination set on her face. She gripped the crystal hard

and closed her eyes, making the wish with all her heart and soul.

She wished for them all to have lives with good, loving,

caring families. Power shot a blinding white light out of the

crystal and granted her wish.
