Two years have passed. Usagi and the Inner Senshi have just graduated from high school. Usagi and Mamoru are to be married today. "Guys, I'm scared," Usagi says.
"What are you scared of, Usagi-chan?" Luna asks.
"I know that within six months of me getting married, me and Mamo-chan ascend the throne and the just after that, the world goes into hibernation."
"Why are you scared, Usagi?"
"Because I never see my parents or Shingo again." Usagi says with tears in her eyes. "They're not around to know Chibi Usa as who she really is—their granddaughter and niece, not niece and cousin."
"Usagi-chan, you may have to tell them your secret. I just fixated on them in the future and when you came out of the eternal sleep and created Crystal Tokyo, they were all among those who went to Nemesis. They didn't believe that eternal life was right," Setsuna says.
"Mamo-chan and I will have to sit down with them tonight after the reception and talk with them."
Several hours later, the reception is over. Usagi and Mamoru are back at their apartment. Kenji, Ikuko and Shingo will be over shortly to talk with Usagi. "Usako, are you sure about this? Is it really necessary to tell your family about your being Sailor Moon and the Moon Princess?"
"Mamo-chan, I told you what Setsuna said earlier, didn't I?"
"Yes, you did."
"I don't want to lose my parents or brother, Mamo-chan. I love them, even Shingo." Tears start streaming down Usagi's face.
Mamoru takes Usagi in his arms and attempts to comfort her. Once Usagi has stopped crying, she goes into the bathroom and washes her face. As soon as she comes out, they hear the doorbell ring. "I'll get it, Usako." Usagi nods her head. A moment later, Usagi hears Mamoru saying, "Come on in, minna. Can I get you something to drink?"
"No, Mamoru-chan. Do you know what Usagi wants to talk to us about?" Ikuko asks.
"Yes, but I want her to explain it herself," Mamoru replies.
"Usa, what's wrong that you needed to talk to all of us?" Kenji says.
"I don't know how to tell you this, minna, but in a few months, the earth will be frozen in a sleep. We'll be frozen for a thousand years before we wake up."
"Usa, how do you know this?" Kenji asks his daughter.
"I've seen the future."
"How? You couldn't see the rug was pulled up and fell on it the other day," Shingo says.
"Hold on. I'll prove it to you." Usagi leaves the room and goes to the bedroom. "Come in Setsuna. This is Usagi."
"Princess, what's the matter?" Setsuna responds.
"Can you come to my and Mamo-chan's apartment right away. My family doesn't believe me about the future."
"Certainly, Usagi. I'll henshin and be right over."
"Arigato," Usagi replies.
"Is everything ok, Usako?" Mamoru asks his wife, coming into the bedroom.
"Yes, Mamo-chan. I just called Setsuna. She's on her way." She grabs her locket and goes back to the living room. "I know you won't believe me, but here goes. Shingo, remember when Sailor Moon first appeared? She saved you and Mika at the art show?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Do you wonder how she knew where the trouble was and got there right away?"
"Uh huh," Shingo replies.
"She was there that day in her regular identity."
"How do you know that, Usagi?"
"Because I'm Sailor Moon."
Kenji, Ikuko and Shingo have shocked looks on their faces. "No you're not, Usagi. Sailor Moon's way cooler than you are. She's not a wimp who cries about everything like you do."
"Well, you don't believe me. I figured you wouldn't. I guess I'll have to prove it to you. MOON ETERNAL…MAKE UP!" Usagi transforms. "Now do you believe me?"
"I don't believe it! My sister is Sailor Moon!" Shingo says. "This is too cool."
"Shingo, if you even open your mouth to anyone, I'll kill you." Everyone hears a knock on the door. "I'll be right back. That should be the person I'm expecting." Usagi detransforms and opens the door. "Hi! Come on in. Thanks for coming!" Everyone hears "PLUTO CRYSTAL POWER…MAKE UP!" and sees a flash of light. Moments later, Usagi walks back into the room with Sailor Pluto following her.
"Mama, Papa, Shingo, this is Sailor Pluto. Sailor Pluto, these are my parents Ikuko and Kenji and my brother Shingo. They do not believe me that within a year, the planet will be frozen in eternal sleep. Please explain it to them for me."
"Certainly, Princess." Pluto replies.
Kenji says, "Princess? Usagi, what does she mean Princess?"
"Papa, I am a Princess." Usagi closes her eyes and changes to Princess Serenity. "I am Princess Serenity, the last heir to the throne of the Moon Kingdom, also known as the Silver Millennium. We existed on the moon over a thousand years ago. I was next in line for the throne, but our kingdom was destroyed by an evil group called the Dark Kingdom. They were controlled by an evil entity that called itself Queen Mettalia. She enlisted the services of an earth woman named Beryl. Beryl was made her Queen and was glad to help exact revenge on the Moon Kingdom since the man she loved had no feelings for her. He was in love with me and I loved him as well. His name was Prince Endymion, but you know him as Mamo-chan." Mamoru transforms to Prince Endymion and stands with his wife. "The other Sailor Senshi gave their lives to protect me, but I jumped into the stream of power that was pulling Endymion away from me. Mettalia saw this and blasted us both, killing us. We were all reborn in this time thanks to the power of the ginzuishou. When I was awakened as Sailor Moon, we had no idea that I was the Moon Princess as well. We found that out later. It took Mamo-chan being fatally injured for me to remember who I really was. In any event, when Chibi Usa first came to us several years ago, we found out that she was from the future. We journeyed to the future to help save her mother. King Endymion, Mamo-chan's future self, told us that within six months of our wedding, we would be crowned the King and Queen of Tokyo. Shortly after that, the planet would be frozen in sleep for a thousand years." Serenity turns to Pluto.
"Arigato, Princess. As Usagi, I mean, Princess Serenity put it, the time is near for the earth to face an 'ice age' which will last a thousand years. Nobody will be harmed, but everyone will be frozen. As Princess Serenity stated, she has seen the future along with her royal guard consisting of Sailor Venus, the leader of her guard, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury and the Prince."
"May I ask you a question, Sailor Pluto?" Ikuko asks. Pluto nods. "If you are a Sailor Senshi, how come we've never seen anything containing your likeness?"
"That's a good question. My mission has a slight variation on it. In addition to being a protector of the Princess, I am also the Guardian of Time. Most of my time is spent watching the Gate of Time, but for extremely difficult enemies, I appear and assist the Senshi. When Usagi was in the future, she never saw any of you once. I fixated on you once the sleep was over. Much to Usagi's dismay, you sided with our enemies and she never knew it until today. She has brought you here today to show how much she loves all of you and try to convince you to stay with her in the future. Once the Princess awakens from the great sleep, she will revive the rest of the planet with the ginzuishou and the people closest to it, meaning the residents of Crystal Tokyo, will have eternal life. They will age, but not show their age."
"But Usagi, Sailor Pluto, that's not natural to have eternal life," Shingo says.
"Usagi couldn't help that effect. She will use the ginzuishou to purify the planet's toxic air and as a result, Tokyo will become a crystallized city. It will be renamed Crystal Tokyo. It is still unclear as to what caused the planet's air to become toxic, but the Princess was doing what she thought her mother would do."
"I wouldn't do something like that, Sailor Pluto," Ikuko says.
"You wouldn't, but I would," a voice says as a figure appears behind Shingo.
"Queen Serenity!" Pluto and Luna say bowing to their former Queen.
"Pluto, Luna, please rise."
"Mother! Oh, how I've missed you," Usagi says.
"Excuse me, but exactly who are you and how come Usagi's cat can talk?" Kenji asks.
"Forgive me for not introducing myself. I am the former ruler of the Silver Millennium, Queen Serenity and mother to Princess Serenity. Mrs. Tsukino, thank you for caring for my child all these years and helping to see her destiny carried out. Luna is able to talk as she is a magical cat of the Silver Millennium. The other feline guardian, Artemis, is also able to talk, as would any kittens born of them together."
"What do you mean, her destiny carried out?" Ikuko asks.
"Back in the Silver Millennium, the Prince and Princess were killed before they could marry. They are soul mates, destined to be together for all eternity. When you have soul mates for rulers, their reign is all that much stronger, as one completes the other. Now as to why I would risk eternal life for the citizens of Tokyo, think about it. If they awoke to the air being toxic, they would be dead in minutes. The Senshi and their immortal allies and foes would be the only ones in existence on this world. That would not be fair to all the loved ones of these immortals." Queen Serenity turns to her daughter and Endymion and says, "Serenity, Endymion, congratulations on your wedding. This truly is how things should have been in the Silver Millennium. Serenity, when you take the throne, remember not only what I have taught you, but also what you earth mother has taught you. You will make us both proud of you no matter what, as long as you try your hardest. Luna, continue to guide her as you have in the past. Endymion, continue to love and protect her. Between you, Luna, Artemis, Diana and the Senshi, Serenity will not be at a loss for advice, advisors or friends. Goodbye, all. Ikuko, Kenji, thank you for being there for Serenity. Shingo, thank you for being the eternal thorn in her side. You keep Serenity on her toes." Queen Serenity turns back to her daughter, "Serenity, do not doubt in your abilities or the strength of love and friendship. I love you, my child."
"I love you, too, mother. Farewell." Queen Serenity's image fades away.
"Usa, we'll have to think about this for a while. You know we support you no matter what, but we're not so sure about this. Let's go minna and leave the newlyweds alone for their first night as husband and wife." Kenji turns to Ikuko and says, not too low, "Remember what our first night as husband and wife was like, honey?"
In unison, Usagi and Shingo say, "Dad, that's gross. We know you did it, but did you have to talk about it in front of us?" Then, they give each other a look to say, 'Why are we in synch all of a sudden?'
Shingo and his parents leave. Pluto stays for a few minutes and Usagi says, "Setsuna, how badly did we affect the timeline by telling my family of the future?"
Setsuna closes her eyes for a few minutes and scans the future for any differences. "I sense no great differences. There are only a few small ones. I won't tell you what they are, though."
"Thank you, Setsuna. I wouldn't want to know if it was serious," Usagi says.
"Well, let me detransform and be going. I wouldn't want to disrupt your wedding night," Setsuna states.
"Setsuna, would you mind dropping Luna off at Minako-chan's on your way home?"
"No, I wouldn't. I took a portal here and I'm taking it back. Call Minako and tell her to expect a portal in her living room in a few minutes."
Usagi picks up the phone and dials Minako's number. "Mina-P, expect a portal to pop up in your living room shortly and Luna will come through it. Thanks for taking care of her tonight."
"Not a problem, Usagi-chan. She and Artemis can have fun together doing whatever it is they do," Minako says.
"OK, Mina-P. I'll pick Luna up tomorrow. See you then." Usagi hangs up.
Setsuna says, "Here you go, Luna. One portal straight to Minako and Artemis."
"Arigato, Setsuna-san." Luna steps through the portal and it closes.
"I'll see the two of you soon," Setsuna says. The newlyweds nod. Setsuna opens a portal, steps through it and it closes.
Moments later, Mamoru goes over to Usagi an grabs her around the waist. He has put some soft, romantic music on. "May I have this dance, my Princess?"
"No, silly Prince. You may have all my dances until the end of time." They wrap their arms tightly around each other and kiss passionately.
"Usako, I want you. I want you so bad it hurts." He picks Usagi up and brings her into the bedroom. A while later, we find Usagi and Mamoru laying together in bed, naked under the blanket. "Usako, you were fantastic!"
"You weren't so bad yourself, Mamo-chan." Usagi is quiet for a moment. "Hey, where's Ash?"
"He went home for a little while. It was time for the Pokémon league finals and he fights the final battle as the league champion. Misty went with him to visit her sisters."
"So that's why it's so quiet around here tonight. I thought that he was just out of the apartment tonight to give us some privacy."
"Nah. They stayed for the wedding and left right after that. Now tomorrow we're moving your stuff over here, right, Usako?"
"Uh huh. It's all packed up and ready to go," Usagi says, kissing her husband on the lips. He responds back with a kiss of his own. They make love again and fall asleep in each other's arms.
* * *
A few days later, Ash and Misty have returned. Ash has a disappointed look on his face and Misty is trying to console him. "Ash, you're in the hall of fame at Indigo Plateau. You were great. Your Pokémon couldn't have done much more against that Mr. Mime that Gary used."
"I know, Misty, but nobody's beaten me since I won the tournament years ago."
"Well, Ash, you've already become a legend in the Pokémon league. You're the first champion to have a multiple year reign strung together."
"I guess I can be happy about that. Hey, why don't you and I get a Pokémon league started here?"
"That's a great idea, Ash."
