Ch 19: Plans Unfold

Everyone spent a quiet day after the trip to the Moon. Bunny had a violin lesson, which Darien and Rini came to. Hotaru and Pearl spent the day with Jet and Jade. They apparently had know each other in the Silver Millennium. Mina, Lita, Amy and Raye were with Kunzite, Nephrite, Zoisite, and Jadeite. They spent all their free time together, trying to make up for lost time. Amara and Michelle went for a ride along the shore in Amara's convertible. Trista, Luna, Artemis, and Diana went to see a movie.

When Bunny's lesson was over Miss Caya was there. "Hello Miss Caya," Bunny said.

"Hello Bunny. Have a good lesson?" Miss Caya responded.

"Yes. I seem to be coming along rather well," Bunny replied.

"So what are you doing here Miss Caya?" Rini asked.

"Oh, she just came over to have lunch with me," Monsurie Backmen said, somewhat blushing. Bunny, Darien and Rini just looked at each other in surprise. These two had been spending a lot of time together.

"Well, we might as well tell them," said Miss Caya, looking at Monsurie Backmen.

"You're right. They should be the first to know. I mean they did give us our memories back," Monsurie Backmen agreed.

"What are you talking about?" Bunny asked, extremely puzzled.

"You see, Miss Caya and I are going to be married," Monsurie Backmen told them.

"Really? That's so cool!" Rini exclaimed.

"Congratulations, you two," Darien said.

"Thank you," replied Miss Caya.

Bunny, Darien and Rini left them to their lunch. They were really happy for them. Monsurie Backmen and Miss Caya had reawakened their old love, the same way Bunny and Darien had.

Bunny and Darien walked Rini home. They had all agreed to go to Elysion the next day. Pearl and Hotaru were even going to bring Jade and Jet. Bunny and Darien returned home to spend a quiet happy day together.

They all meet in the park, ready to go to Elysion. Rini took out her bell, which used less power then telaporting, and they were instantly there. Elysion was just as beautiful as ever. Many of the scouts hadn't been there during this life.

They headed towards the prayer tower. Rini was leading the way, she was very anxious to see Helios. Jade and Jet walked with Pearl and Hotaru. Hotaru was the only one of the four who had been there before. Well, Pearl had been born there, in her past life, but she didn't remember that much of it.

"It's beautiful!" Pearl exclaimed. "How can you stand to be away from here Darien?"

"I have a new home now. With a new family," Darien answered, smiling at Bunny and Pearl. "Though I do miss it a lot."

"As it does you Prince," Helios said. Rini had run ahead and come back with him.

"Helios, it is good to see you again," Bunny said.

"Hello. I see that everyone is here this time," Helios was glad to have company.

"Yes," Darien replied. "Umm… let me introduce everyone. Well, these are the outer scouts, Amara, Michelle, Trista, and Hotaru, whom you already know." They all bowed as they were introduced, and Helios bowed back. "And the inner scouts, Princess Serenity's guardians during the Silver Millennium, Amy, Raye, Lita, and Mina. Of course you remember my four generals, Kunzite, Jadeite, Nephrite, and Zoisite."

"Yes. I am glad to see that you have finally broken free of Beryl's powers," Helios stated.

"These are Jade and Jet. They are twins and former members of the Moon Kingdom," Bunny continued, pointing out the dark haired boys. "They have become quit good friends with Hotaru and Pearl."

"Pearl?" Helios questioned. "Wasn't that the name of Beryl's daughter?"

"How did you know that Helios?" Rini wondered.

"I remember something about her disappearing, about a year before Metallia showed up," explained Helios.

"You are right, she is Beryl's daughter. But she is also my adopted sister, in both lives," Bunny started to explain. As they walked to the prayer tower they all explained the whole story, beginning to end.

"Amazing. I'm glad you were finally able to completely destroy Metallia," Helios commented when they finished. "I'm also glad that everyone is with there loves now," Helios looked at Rini longingly. There had to be a way to be with her more.

"Yes, it is wonderful," Nephrite said, raping his arms around Lita.

"If only you and Rini could be together more," Hotaru wished.

"If only..." Rini agreed.

After a little more talking, everyone started walking around. Elysion was a wonderful place to be alone with the one you loved. Bunny and Darien found all the old spots they used to meet. It brought back many happy memories.

"I remember the first time I saw you, I was standing behind that tree," Bunny remembered.

"And I was looking at these roses. When I first saw you, I wondered who that beautiful women was," Darien reminisces.

"I didn't care that you were from Earth, and I the Moon. I didn't care that there wasn't suppose to be communication between our peoples," Bunny explains. "I just wanted to be with you."

While the others were enjoying the flower gardens, Rini and Helios sat together. "I wish we didn't have to be separated so much," Rini said.

"Yes. I know understand what the Prince and Princess must have gone through in the Silver Millennium," Helios agrees.

"If only there was a way for us to be together!"

"But I couldn't ask you to leave all your friends on Earth. Besides, you already have two homes."

"Couldn't you come to Earth with us?" Rini asked hopefully. This made Helios quiet. He had never really thought about it before. Leave Elysion? Was that possible?

"I don't know Rini. I've never really considered it before." As they were talking Bunny and Darien returned.

"Hello. Rini do you think you could go find the others? It's getting late," Bunny asked. Rini ran off to gather everyone.

"Helios, we have something we want to discuss with you..." Darien started.

After everyone was gathered, they said there last farewells to Helios. Before they left Helios gave Rini a kiss and whispered, "I'll see you soon, Maiden." Rini wasn't quit sure what he meant but didn't have time to ask.

"You know Rini. You really have grown up a lot over these last few months," Bunny remarked while walking her home.

"Do you really think so?" Rini asked.

"Absolutely. I mean, besides being a lot more mature. Look how much taller you are," Darien agreed.

"I had hardly noticed," said an astonished Rini. It was Rini's biggest wish to someday grow up to be a true lady. Maybe she finally was.

Everyone returned home. They were all pleasantly exhausted by their two trips. And everyone was with the person they loved. Well, almost everyone.

Rini decided to send a letter to her parents, with a picture of everyone. They had taken it when first meeting Helios, earlier that day. Rini wanted to show how happy everyone was now.

'… This is us in Elysion. We went to tell Helios about Pearl and defeating Metallia. Pearl and Hotaru brought Jade and Jet with them. They are from the Moon Kingdom. Now they don't feel so left out.

I hope I get a letter from you soon. It would be cool to have a picture of all of you. Everyone here would love to see it.

Your Loving Daughter

Princess Serenity

a.k.a. Small Lady'

Rini sent the letter off through Luna-P and drifted to sleep. Dreaming of a time she and Helios would always be together.
