Dear Readers: Once again, I need to apologize for being late with my
updates. No excuses this time, here is the final chapter of my fic
"Change". Now, if I remember correctly, Serena had just finished telling
the girls what happened on the Moon.

Change
Chapter Seven: Become a Lady

"It's kinda cool," Lita commented as the girls walked to the playhouse. "I mean, Serena and all. It's kinda nice."
"Hey," Mina agreed. "I can't complain. I've never been to the playhouse before, and she us free tickets. I hear Michelle's playing tonight. How exciting!"
"Can't argue there!" Rei cheered.
They made their inside the building, Lita in a splendid green dress, Rei in red, Amy in light blue, and Mina in orange. They sat at a table where Amara and Darien were talking brightly.
"Hey, girls," Darien greeted.
Amara simply waved, smiling.
Amara wore and elegant off-white dress. Darien wore a tuxedo.
"You're just in time." He said, gesturing to the stage.
The lights dimmed and then were turned off. The only light came from the stage. The red curtain parted and Michelle was seen in a deep blue dress, about to begin. When she started, the room fell silent. Michelle's music was always beautiful. Her violin poised, she finished, and the audience resounded with gratified applause.
The curtain closed, and then opened. The sight before the audience left them breathless. The only sound heard was a gasp. Darien rose from his chair, the wind being knocked out of him with a hard, invisible blow.
Serena stood upright. She traveled to a piano, her wondrous white dress flowing across the floor behind her. The dress was traditional; the Scouts knew it well. It was the dress of their future queen.
Serena sat down. Her fingers caressed the keys of the piano, and then she began to play. It was the same tune that came from her star locket. The song was so heartfelt, some people were fighting back tears; some weren't. The Scouts tried to fight back their own; when the music changed, they were reminded of when they were carried in transparent shells after Queen Beryl's attack on the Moon.
As the tune ended, people gradually began to stand, honoring the wonderful music the beautiful lady on the stage. Serena stood to the silence of the audience and gracefully crossed over to the front of the stage. She bowed her head and the room exploded with the amazed, awed, gratified, loving, appreciative, magnificent, glorious, true, just, pure, free, extremely loud cheering of the audience and her friends - who loved her piece.
Darien gawked, trapped in awe. He stared up at her; her eyes were closed as her head was still bowed. She changed. Serena had become a lady.
The End.

Okay, I know that it was short. But, I wanted it that way. This chapter was more an after thought. I wanted it to carry with it the likeness of a kiss: short and sweet. I'm sorry that it took so long to get something this short up. But, there you have it.
I wanted to ask a favor of you all, though. This story was the first fic that I'd ever written, and I'm really worried that it needs improving. my writing, I mean. I can't improve this story; it's already completely posted. But I can improve my writing; hence increasing the approval I get from all of you. and others. So please, critique away if you can. Criticism is something I really need. anything. from saying it was downright crap (to which.. reasons please), to spelling errors. Thanks, I really appreciate it.
Yours truly, Sweet Ether.
Ps. look for me under the Harry Potter headings.. I think I might write one of them next. But, always check my name. 'cause you and I never know where my inspiration will take me. Adios.
