Chapter 28: Good-byes

Back at the park the Redeans were preparing to leave. Bunny hugged both the rulers. "I'm going to miss you both. Make sure you visit us as soon as you can."

"We promise we will," Rodo chuckled.

"Good 'cause I want to see the baby," Rini giggled.

Ralcea patted Rini's head, "I hope you and she will be good friends." Ralcea turned back to Bunny. "I'm glad we didn't cause any permanent damage here. We are very sorry."

"Now, none of that." Darien ordered. "What's done is done. We are all friends now."

"Although you did cause something to change," Amy pointed out. "Now everyone knows who we are and about the past."

"Yeah, but they were all starting to remember anyway," Zoisite contradicted. "The Redeans only sped it up a bit." Everyone laughed at that.

With all the good-byes said, the Redeans returned home. They all knew that they would see them again, but they would miss them all the same.

"Well, it looks like we're back to the boring peaceful life again," Kunzite joked.

"Yup, nothing to do know but go to school and be normal teenagers again," Mina agreed.

"Attest for the next three years," Trista reminded them.

"Actually there is something else that I have to do," Bunny stated.

"What's that Buns?" Darien wondered.

Bunny sighed, "I have to go apologize to my mother for turning against her."

The others all looked at their feet for a moment. "Can I go to?" Pearl finally asked.

"And me, I want to visit Grandma Serenity," Rini piped up.

"And were Rini goes I go," Helios explained.

Soon everyone was asking Bunny if they could go along. Finally Darien looked at Bunny, "You know you can't leave me behind, even if you tried."

Bunny laughed at them all. "Of course you can come, if you really want to." So it was settled. They all go home for a good nights sleep and the next night they would visit the Moon.

Saturday night found everyone at the park. Needless to say they were all much more excited about this trip then the last one they took to the Moon. They formed their normal circle and concentrated their power. For the first time Molly and Melvin were also part of the group.

When they all reached Mare Serenitatis they morphed into their "Silver Millennium cloths." Even Molly and Melvin had different cloths. Maybe they had been part of the Moon Kingdom after all.

Princess Serenity practically ran to the Prayer room and her Mother. "Mother, I'm soooo sorry about everything," Princess Serenity sobbed when she reached her mother's arms.

"It's okay Princess," Queen Serenity coed, as she hugged her daughter. "I'm just glad you came back to us."

Princess Serenity looked up at her mother, then over at Endymion, "It was all because of Prince Endymion. He saved me."

Princess Serenity went over to Endymion, who was blushing. "Hey I owed you," Endymion murmured.

The Queen smiled and then looked at her other guest. "I'm glad to see you all again. But I seem to see two new faces among you."

Serenity ran over to Molly and Melvin, and pulled them up to her mother. "Queen Serenity, allow me to introduce my two best friends, Molly and Melvin." Molly and Melvin curtseyed and bowed, respectively, to the Queen. They were both very nerves.

"Why are you so nerves?" Queen Serenity inquired. "I'm always glad to meet Serenity's friends."

"Umm… well..." Molly stammered, ringing her hands.

"You see… um..." Melvin mumbled.

Hotaru stepped in for them, "What they are trying to not say is that they have just had a, um, not so good experience with a King and Queen. I'm sure they will get over it soon."

Queen Serenity laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not going to try and control you like the Redeans. By the way, what ended up happening with them?"

Everyone sat down to tell the Queen what had happened sense their last visit. About how they had gotten Molly, Melvin and Bunny back. How Bunny was sure that the Redeans weren't evil so Darien returned with them to spy. Then about the Azmorlians and Rodo and Ralcea turning good again.

"So they returned to Redicea yesterday," Mina finished up.

"Well, I'm glad you were able to straighten that all up. I'm very impressed with you all," Queen Serenity complimented. "So now what?"

Everyone looked at each other. Finally Alan cleared his throat, "Well, I suppose that our tree and ourselves should return home."

"Oh, but we'll miss you," Ceres objected.

"We will miss you as well," Fiona agreed. "But at lest with our communicators we can still talk."

"I should probably visit my parents again, too," Rini added.

"And we should report in to the Queen," Juna remarked.

"Well, if you are going to be leaving us, I think we should have one more sleep-over," Molly said.

"You are absolutely right Molly!" Princess Serenity cried. "Sleep-over at my house!"

The Queen began to laugh, "You all enjoy your sleep-over, then. I hope I see you soon."

"Good-bye Mother," Pearl and Serenity said as the Queen disappeared.

Everyone returned to Bunny and Darien's place for a last sleep-over. They all had to laugh at how many of them their were crammed into that living room.

"You know," Darien mused. "I'm glad there's only three more years 'til we're crowned. That way sleep-overs wont be so crowed."

"Yeah, we'll all get our own rooms," Jade agreed.

Bunny nodded, then started to laugh, "You're right. But if we're all in different rooms, our sleep-overs will be missing one very important thing. This..." Before anyone could ask what "this" was, Bunny through her pillow at Molly. That was the start of the pillow war that ended with them all sprawled out and asleep.

Bunny woke up early the next morning. She smiled when she saw how happy all her friends looked. 'I'm going to miss not having them all around anymore,' she thought to herself as she made tea. 'But we will all be together again, I'm sure.'

When she returned to the living room Darien was also awake. "You look happy," he said quietly.

"And why shouldn't I be," she teased. "All of my best friends are hear with me now. And in less then three years we will be married and crowned King and Queen of the Earth."

Darien smiled at the thought, "I'm glad your looking forward to that as much as I am Buns. Sometimes it just seems like a dream."

Rini, who had just woken up, came over, "Well, I know it's not a dream. And I'm glad it's almost going to come true." She hugged her to be parents, and one by one everyone else began to wake up.

That day they saw Ann, Alan, Fiori, Fiona and their tree off. Before they left the tree spoke to Bunny, "I'm glad that you were able to defeat the evil once again. Take care of yourself." Then they were off.

After that Rini, Diana, Juna, Ceres, Vesta and Pallas prepared to leave for the 30th century with Trista as their guide. "We'll be back soon," Vesta promised.

"Yeah, it's so much fun here," Pallas agreed.

"Say hello to the King and Queen for us," Raye shouted.

"Bring us back some pictures," Mina called. And they were gone.

"Well, it looks like it's back to peaceful life for us," Michelle remarked.

"Yup, what are we ever going to do with ourselves?" Amara joked.

"Hey, don't worry, I'm sure Rini will have lots of stuff she wants us to do when she gets back," Hotaru giggled. "Like picnics, and leap frog, and jump rope and..."

Pearl started laughing, "Yeah, Rini does have a lot of energy, but I think Pallas has more."

Helios smiled, "You know, I think your right."

They all laughed and talked as they went about their day. Then the next day they returned to a normal school life. Well, as normal as you can get when all your classmates know that your a Sailor Scout or a close friend of one.

A few days later Luna-P appeared with a letter from Rini. Bunny gathered everyone together so they could all hear what it had to say.

"Hey guys,

Well, we're all back at the 30th century, and everything is fine. Mother and Father asked me to say "Hi" for them. I hope everything is going well for you. I'm writing this letter because Mother and Father asked me to stay hear for an extended visit this time. Don't worry Bunny, I'll be back in time for your graduation. I just want to be home for a while. The Asteroid Scouts all say "Hi" too.

Love,

Princess Small Lady Serenity

Rini to all off you :)

P.S. I've included a picture of all off us hear in the 30th century. Hope you like it."

The picture showed all the scouts with their boyfriends, King Endymion, Neo-Queen Serenity, Helios, Rini, Pearl, Jet, Jade and Molly and Melvin standing in a rose garden.

"Well, I guess she's happy," Amy said, looking at the picture.

"I guess so," Darien said. He and Bunny were a little depressed they wouldn't be seeing Rini for a while.

"Hey, don't get depressed," Pearl laughed.

"Yeah, you still got Pearl and me," Hotaru reminded them.

"You're right," Bunny agreed. "Come on, lets all go get some ice cream from Miss Caya!" They all went to the park and had a nice visit with Miss Caya.
