Chapter 27: Straightening Things Out

Thursday went by normally. Everyone went to school and then Bunny, Michelle and Hotaru practiced for their concert the next day. Rodo and Redicea walked around Tokyo, in normal cloths, just enjoying themselves.

Friday at school was normal. But when it came time to get ready for the concert Bunny started to get nervous. Darien walked over and put his arms around her, "What's the matter Buns? Stage fright?"

"Huh, I wish," Bunny laughed. "I'm worried about my speech afterwards actually. What if it doesn't work? What if everyone still hates the Sailor Scouts? What if..."

"What if the sky starts to fall and the world stops spinning?" Darien joked. "'What if' questions will only drive you insane." He kissed her sweetly. "Besides, everything will be fine. Look at how easy it was to turn them against us. With all of our help, and the evil energy out of them, this will be a snap."

Bunny sighed, "Your right, of course. But if it doesn't work, it will be all my fault..."

Pearl came in just then, "That's right Bunny, because you asked the Redeans to turn you evil and you wanted the people of the Earth to be miserable." Bunny glared at Pearl. "So stop your worrying and get ready!" Then Pearl pushed Darien out of the room. "This is 'girl stuff' we don't need you around." When she closed the door Pearl and Bunny exploded into giggles.

Darien looked at the door and shook his head. Luna jumped onto his shoulder, "What's going on in there?" she asked.

"Girl stuff, I don't think they want a cat either," Darien answered. "I'm glad to hear Buns laughing again."

Pearl helped Bunny into a long, light pink dress that had small roses made of ribbon on it. Pearl was wearing a much simpler pink dress herself. The they did their hair "meatball" style and tied ribbons around them. When they were ready they joined Darien and Luna.

"You look great," was Luna's reaction.

Bunny and Pearl smiled and blushed. Then Bunny looked at Darien for approval. He looked at her for a moment, "Something is missing." He went to a vase in the corner and removed a pink rose, the exact color of Bunny's dress. He put it behind her left "meatball." "There, now your perfect."

They meet the others at the school auditorium. While Bunny, Michelle and Hotaru went back stage, Amy, Zoisite, Raye, Jadeite, Lita, Nephrite, Mina, Kunzite, Amara, Trista, Darien, Rini, Helios, Hotaru, Jet, Pearl, Jade, Pallas, Juna, Vesta, Ceres, Ann, Alan, Fiori, Fiona, Molly, Melvin, Ralcea, Rodo and the cats took sets in the front row.

"Now we get to have a true Princess Serenity concert," Nephrite commented.

"Yes, this should be much better then the last one," Lita agreed.

By the time the concert was to start the auditorium was completely filled. Everyone wanted to hear Princess Serenity play again.

The program was as fallows: Bunny and Hotaru starting with "Call My Name", Bunny with "My Only Love", Michelle with "Rainy Day Man", Hotaru with "She's Got the Power", Bunny with "The Power of Love", Michelle with "Carry On", Hotaru with "Only a Memory Away", Bunny with "Oh Starry Night" and the finale being Bunny, Hotaru and Michelle playing "It's a New Day". (All songs are from the Sailor Moon Soundtrack or Sailor Moon & The Scouts: Lunarock CDs.) Everyone loved the songs. Bunny's voice was crystal clear as she sang. When it was all over they received a standing ovation, and flowers from there beloved. Though Michelle, Amara, Hotaru and Jet went to sit down afterwards, Darien stayed with Bunny while she made her speech.

Bunny walk to the microphone again. "I'm glad you like the concert so much. We certainly love to perform for you." Bunny took a deep breath and Darien squeezed her hand. "Anyway, I know that most of you were hear last week when I made my speech. And if you weren't I'm sure you have heard of it by now. Well, you need to forget everything I said. Okay, not everything. I am Sailor Moon and Princess Serenity. The Moon Kingdom and the Golden Kingdom did exist a thousand years ago during the Silver Millennium. Also, I am distend to one day rule my former subjects. But I'm not distend to do that alone. My Prince, Endymion, has always been at my side, and always will be." Here both Bunny and Darien morphed into their royal selves. "Also, my closes friends, and guardians, the Sailor Scouts will be with me." The scouts came on stage and morphed. They were, as expected, not greeted with enthusiasm.

"Please, do not dismiss them. They saved me, and this planet! You see, two weeks ago I, Princess Serenity, was turned evil by the King and Queen of the Redeans. That is why I was against the scouts and for the Redeans. But I was wrong, as were the Redeans! You see, over four thousand years ago, the planet Redicea was attacked for no reason but that their neighbors wanted a larger kingdom. Because of this the Redeans feared attack and started concurring their neighbors. But I, with the help of my friends here, have helped the Redeans see their mistake." Rodo and Ralcea come on stage now.

"They are returning home. I am no longer the heir to their throne. Believe me my destiny is hard enough without that. But before they go they want to make sure that they didn't cause any permanent damage here, and that the Sailor Scouts will be excepted as the guardians of the Earth again." Serenity looked out at her audience. "So what do you say? Can they return to Redicea with a clear concisen?"

After a moment of stunned silence the audience started cheering. "Princess Serenity! Prince Endymion! Gooooo Sailor Scouts!" Everyone on stage smiled. They had done it. The people of Tokyo were back to their former selves. Everyone left the stage admits the cheering.
