Surprise Announcements

"At the end of Festival all your engagements shall be made known. There is one announcement I would like to make now, but only to the guardians of the system. I plan to marry my own True Soul, and Serena's true Sire, Prince Nicolas of the Asteroid Belt. Afterwards, he shall be crowned King of the Moon kingdom."

All the new arrivals look at each other with confused looks. Ami frowns at the Queen, "Queen Serenity, why do you do this now? Where is this Prince Nicolas?"

Serena walks to her guardians and smiles. "He has always been here with us. He has always protected us. Hi is our most beloved friend Nicolas." She points to him as she finishes her speech.

By the magic in himself, Nicolas' clothes have changed to that of the Royal House of Asteroid.

Everyone is speechless. Minako speaks up finally. "My Queen why the secret, Why not marry him first?"

Therefore, Queen Serenity tells her story once again, but ads. "All the engagement announcements will be made at the end of Festival. Please let us enjoy what a wondrous day this has been."

The sound of wind chimes announces dinner. The six couples sit for dinner in the main hall Greg and Setsuna join them.

"Konnichwa mina," Setsuna smiles and bows to her queen. Greg pulls out Setsuna's chair and helps her put it back under the table, then sits next to her, "I hope you don't mind me for dinner."

"Not at all," smiles Serenity.

Setsuna, "Serenity, I wish to speak with you on a certain matter later."

"Does it have to deal with your True Soul?"

Somewhat surprised Setsuna furrows her brow. "Yes, it does."

Serenity looks towards Greg of Io, "What is Setsuna's true name?" To have your true name told aloud is a sun, unless it is on a special occasion. Greg looks towards Setsuna, "It is Su shini, Beautiful Death."

Serenity looks to Setsuna, "What is Greg's Soul name?" Setsuna stutters little then smiles softly. "Kino, Heart of Mercury."

Serenity nods, "Yes, not that all is done, let us eat and rejoice. We now have SEVEN couples to be married by this time next Solstice."

Setsuna and Taiki are surprised, moreover happy. They enjoy the meal before them.

As the night wears on the Three Lights perform for the small group with back up from some of the other scouts.

However, unknown to them on Earth, an evil plan is starting to fall into place.
