Finally, it's happening…

"I Toshira Oren, take you, Emochan Tsukino, to be my lawfully wedded wife. To have and to hold, beyond death."

It feels like it's taken forever to get to this point…

"I Emochan Tsukino, take you, Toshira Oren, to be my lawfully wedded husband. To have and to hold, beyond death."

Finally we can be together…

"You are now pronounced husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride."

Emochan and Toshira kissed under the cherry blossoms while everyone around them cheered. Emochan's light blue gown waved gracefully in the breeze along with her curled hair. After the ceremony, Emochan went to each of her friends and hugged them. They all congratulated her for the mother was crying happily, finding it hard to contain herself.

"You're so beautiful and grown up…" She whimpered as her daughter embraced her warmly.

"I'll always be your little girl, Mom." Emochan smiled. She looked over at her new husband with absolute happiness in her heart.

It had been seven years since the battle with Morgana. There had not been any attacks massive enough to cause any wide-spread panic. Therefore, everyone split up and did their own things over that time, between getting jobs and going into higher education. Toshira was now a professional volleyball player and a local volunteer coach at the highschool everyone attended. Emochan went to college for writing and occasionally wrote short stories for young adults in local magazines. She didn't want to do anything too demanding because she knew that once she and Toshira were to be married, it wouldn't be long before her Queenly duties would beckon her. Emochan glanced over at her cousin, whom was discussing how excited she was about the cake to Mamoru, who chuckled. Emochan smiled at them. Usagi and Mamoru were to be married in the next year, so Emochan looked forward to working with Usagi to rule the planet. Telling her mother of her destiny, of course, was an interesting conversation. Emochan chuckled lightly at the memory. Her mother's shocked face, her disbelief, and then embrace of Emochan's past and future.

We've come so far from where we were so many years ago…it still feels so fresh…the bride thought to herself.

"Emochan!" Toshira's voice cried out, bringing Emochan out of her thoughts.

"It's time for you to throw your bouquet!" Sarah cried out in excitement.

"Right! I almost forgot!" Emochan exclaimed as she ran to Toshira's side. "I love you."

"I love you too, my sweet," he replied as all the girls formed into a cluster. Emochan smiled and held up her bouquet of red and white roses.

"Okay, Everyone! Here I go! Good luck!" she cried and flung the flowers behind her head. The girls all started to fidget to get to the flowers, but it fell into the hands of Reiko. Her face became a deep red and she giggled. Behind her was a very shocked Toshiro.

"Wait a minute..." he said as he, too, started to blush. Everyone laughed and Emochan hugged her friend.

"Looks like there will be another wedding, other than Usagi's, in our future, ne?" she said into Reiko's ear and they laughed. Reiko and Sakura studied abroad for the first few years of their college education, before becoming owners of the "Twin Travel Agency". Now they book people on all sorts of wild and crazy trips all over the world.

"Time for cake!!!" Emochan's mother cried and they all circled around the tall cake in the middle of the park. It had three large tiers, with blue and green frosting and small floral decorations along the top and sides. It was complimentary of Sarah, of course, with Homoto's help (he married Sarah two years before and now co-owned Chouri Fantasy). Toshira and Emochan took hold of the knife and sliced into it. Usagi squealed in excitement, making her friends wince.

"Usagi-chan! Calm yourself!" Rei growled.

"Gomen, gomen! Hehe…" Usagi bowed her head. The others laughed as Toshira began putting slices of cake on plates. As they handed out pieces to everyone, Emochan heard soft voices calling her. She looked up and smiled at the sight of Queen Serendipity and her father. Next to Queen Serendipity was Danklezhan.

"Congratulations, Emochan," her father said happily. Emochan sniffled while Queen Serendipity nodded.

"I am very proud of you, my daughter. May you have peace in your happy future. We'll always be watching you," she said as she rubbed the large dragon's head lovingly. "Danklezhan will always be with you, to guide and protect you." Emochan nodded.

"I love you guys..." she whispered in the winds as their images faded.

"Are you alright, Emochan?" Daichi asked. Emochan nodded and smiled, throwing a piece of cake at him. He dodged it like a master, considering he now ran his own Karate shop in downtown Tokyo.

"Gatcha!" she exclaimed and everyone started to throw food at one another.

During the reception, Split Time, which was now a well-known band throughout Japan, performed.

When the reception was over, everyone waved goodbye as Emochan got onto the back of Toshira's motorcycle. "See you in a few weeks!" she cried and everyone wished them luck on their honeymoon. Emochan felt the wind rush through her hair as they sped through the streets of Japan.

"Ready for the next chapter in our lives?" Toshira said. Emochan nodded.

"You kidding? I've been ready!" she replied and the two laughed as they sped off into the distance. Emochan's fears were lost to the winds as Toshira led her down the winding road that would take into her future as Queen Serendipity. And she knew that if any new enemies should threaten the planet again, she would be ready and willing to protect it once again.
