Young Visitors Part Fourteen: Farewells By Angel Raye
Rayna and Tiffany sat in Rayna's room playing a game. Things had been very tense in the Venus chambers since the incident with Celine so Tiffany had been spending a lot of time in the Royal Chambers. "Are you liking it here Tiffany?" Rayna asked.
"It's okay," Tiffany replied. "I would like it better if my mother weren't here"
"I think she feels the same way," Rayna observed. The last several days, Celine just kept to herself and didn't interact with anyone unless she had too.
Before Tiffany could reply, a pink cloud appeared in the air. The two girls each gave a cry of alarm. "What is it?" Tiffany asked.
"I don't know," Rayna replied. The cloud disappeared and a letter was left in its place. It floated down to Rayna who opened it.
"Who's that from?" Tiffany asked.
"It's from Mama," Rayna replied. She looked up. "It's time to go home."
Usagi came back from Senshi practice to find Chelsea sitting in her room with a serious look on her face. "What's wrong?' Usagi asked in concern.
"I got a letter from my grandmother today," Chelsea replied. "She told me it's time for all of us to go home"
"Those other kids," Usagi began. "They're your team right"
"Yes," Chelsea told her.
"Then they are the daughters of the Chibi Senshi," Usagi concluded and Chelsea nodded her head. Usagi sat down next to Chelsea. "I'll miss all of you," she told her. "It's been so nice having people closer to my age around here"
"I'll miss being here," Chelsea replied. "It's been a lot of fun but I knew we'd have to say goodbye one day"
"Me too," Usagi sighed. She stood up. "I guess we need to let the Senshi know." She paused for a moment. "Do you know who Rayna is"
"No," Chelsea shook her head. "But I have my suspicions"
"So do I," Usagi sighed. "Come on. Let's go talk to Mom"
Just then Serenity came in with Rayna. "Girls," she announced. "I wanted to let you know that it is time for Rayna and her friends to go home"
"What a coincidence," Chelsea stated and she handed her letter to the queen.
"Nani," gasped Serenity as she read it.
Within the hour everyone knew that all the visitors were going home. Mixed feelings were everywhere. "You're leaving," Annika wailed as she watched Brooke pack.
"Yes," Brooke replied. "I miss my mama, daddy and my brother and sister"
"I wish you didn't have to go," Annika mourned sadly. "You've helped me so much. I feel so much better about myself"
"Then I guess I know my purpose for being here," Brooke stated. She sat down on the bed next to her future mother. "You've done well. Just remember everything I told you and you will be fine." Annika smiled and gave Brooke a hug. Rei was quietly watching from the doorway. "Brooke, you've been a godsend," she whispered and then she quietly crept away before either girl could see her.
Meanwhile Faith approached Sydney and Chasity who were packing in the room they shared. "I want to ask you both something," she told them.
"Nani," Sydney asked.
"I know all of you are our granddaughters," Faith stated. "I don't know who these other girls are and I'm not going to ask. I only want to know why do all of you hate Celine so much"
Chasity and Sydney glanced at each other. "We really can't tell you," Sydney murmured.
"You'll find out one day," Chasity added. Faith frowned and saw that she wasn't going to get any answers out of these two. But now she had a nagging question that would be with her for years. Why did their granddaughters hate Celine so much?
"Oh I am so glad I'm going home," Marina declared as she packed her bag.
"I guess it's hard being an only child and having to live with two other girls," Melody commented quietly from the door.
"Yes it is..." Marina began but stopped in mid-sentence. She turned to Melody in surprise. "How did you know I'm an only child"
A huge sweat drop appeared on Melody's head as she realized she had almost slipped up. "Just a good guess," she replied with an embarrassed laugh.
Before Marina could press the matter Ariel came in wearing one of Marina's sweaters. "Hey Marina are you leaving this behind?" she asked. "Because I'll take it"
"Give that back," Marina immediately demanded.
"Got to get me first," Ariel called and she took off quickly.
"Give that back you little brat!" Marina shouted as she chased after Ariel. Both of them streaked past Ami in the hall. It only took a split second for Ami to figure out what was going on. "Ryo," she called and Ryo got up from his chair in the living room. He snatched Ariel up as she ran by him. "Got you, you little rascal," he exclaimed. Ariel giggled. "Now how about giving Marina her sweater back," Ryo commanded. Ariel wriggled out of the sweater and gave it back to Marina who took it and stormed back to her room, slamming the door.
Ami turned in amusement to Melody. "How does she end up with three of you when she obviously has little patience with children?" she asked.
"Oh everyone says we're the best behaved children in the palace," Melody replied.
"I have no doubt," Ami murmured as Ryo walked up with Ariel still in his arms. Ami stroked Ariel's cheek and then gave her a kiss. "It's a good thing I didn't have any before you," she stated. "I don't think I could have put up with you tormenting an older sibling everyday. Why do you do that to Marina"
"Because it's fun," Ariel informed her as she transferred from Ryo's arms to Ami's.
"It's probably good that she's an only child," Ryo added.
"Just wait," Melody murmured.
"What did you say?" Ami asked.
"Oh nothing," Melody squeaked as another sweat drop appeared on her head. "I'll go finish packing." With that she dashed into Ariel's room silently adding, "Before my big mouth reveals anything."
Celine was silently packing her things in her room. Since the unpleasant incident involving Tiffany and her friends she had been keeping to herself, even refusing to see any of her team. All she cared about now was that she was going home.
Minako came quietly into the room. "Celine," she began tenuously testing the waters to see what kind of mood the girl was in.
"What is it?" Celine muttered.
Minako sat down on the bed. She folded a couple of clothes that were tossed carelessly on the bed. "I'm sorry you had a such a miserable time here," she said. "But please don't let it run your life like you have the last couple of days"
"Don't I have a right to be upset?' Celine snapped angrily. "Before I came here I'd never seen Tiffany before in my life and she just hated me. No matter how nice I tried to be to her she just lashed out at me"
"You've got to understand," Minako pleaded. "Tiffany comes from a very unhappy home. She's a very hurt and angry little girl"
"I don't care," Celine snarled. "I hate her and I hate her friends"
"Celine," Minako said. "I first met Gloria when I was seventeen and the princess brought us all here to meet our daughters. My first impression was that Gloria was rude and obnoxious but I felt a strong connection with her. Do you feel any connection at all with Tiffany"
"A little," Celine admitted. "But I don't care. I don't ever want to see her or her horrible friends again." Celine stuffed the last bit of clothing in her bag and angrily zipped it up. She flung the bag over her shoulder. "Now if it's okay with you I'm going to the door that leads to the Gates of Time. I don't want to stay here any longer than I have too." Without another word Celine flounced out of the room. Minako gazed sadly after her. It was just no use. Destiny was in motion.
Lily was packing her things when Gloria dropped in for a visit. "I wanted to give you something," she told her.
"What is it?" Lily asked eagerly as she grabbed her teddy bear and shoved it in the bag.
Gloria held out a book. "It's a book of pranks," she told Lily. "It's full of great ideas. Read it. If we see each other again we'll play a trick that will knock everyone's socks off"
"It's a deal," Lily exclaimed taking the book. "And I promise we will see each other again"
"Then I look forward to the day when we can play the best prank of all time," Gloria replied. She and Lily hugged. It was going to be a great prank.
At seven-thirty that evening the Elysian Senshi were gathering at the Gates of Time. They had all said goodbye to their mothers and the other guests. Now they were saying goodbye to their grandmothers. "All of you take care of yourselves," Rei told them.
"Say hello to the future for us," Minako added.
"Study hard," Ami said.
"And make us proud," Michiru stated.
"We look forward to the day when you become a permanent part of our lives," Hotaru told them.
"The palace will seem empty without all of you," Makoto sighed.
"Quieter too," Haruka muttered and Michiru gave her a sharp nudge.
"Thank you so much for keeping all of us," Chelsea told them. "We learned a lot and we had a lot of fun. Maybe one day we'll come back"
"Please give us some warning," Rei pleaded. The Inner Senshi all nudged her. Serenity stepped forward. "All of you show wonderful promise as Senshi and as members of the Crystal Palace," she told them. "Take care of yourselves and we will see you again"
"Ready girls," Pluto asked. The girls all nodded. Pluto handed the time key to Chelsea. She held it up and the Senshi watched as the girls vanished. Serenity wiped the tears from her eyes. "I hate good-byes," she sobbed. Rei put a comforting hand on her shoulder, tears in her eyes as well.
"Well we have more to say so this isn't the time to get emotional," Haruka firmly stated. And sure enough the Crystal Senshi arrived. Bow it was time for another set of goodbyes.
"Have you said goodbye to your grandmothers?" Ami asked.
"Yes and look what Gloria gave me," Lily exclaimed excitedly holding up a book. The Senshi stared in horror.
"Maybe she'll lose it in between times," Makoto hissed to Minako who nodded her head hopefully.
"Now all of you behave yourselves," Michiru told the girls. "All of you have a lot of growing to do but we know you'll make fine Senshi one day"
"We'll make you proud," Rayna declared.
"But we'll have fun too," Giselle added and Ashley gave a giggle. They had been thrilled to see the book Lily received.
Serenity looked at each face and paused the longest on Tiffany's. She knelt down in front of her. "If there's one thing a Senshi does its love others," she told them. "Pity those who have hurt you and learn to forgive. That will make you the strongest Senshi and a wonderful leader"
"Yes Your Majesty," Tiffany replied but she silently added "Maybe
"Let's go girls," Pluto quietly commanded. There were some last minute hugs and kisses before the girls came over. Pluto handed the key to Rayna who held it up. Within seconds they were all gone.
"Time for some peace and quiet," Rei declared.
"And having just one child to deal with," Ami heaved a sigh of relief.
"We've only got two kids now," Michiru told Haruka. "What are we going to do with ourselves"
"Oh something will come up," Haruka laughed. Pluto watched as she Senshi disappeared. Once they were out of site she used her orb to focus on an orphanage in a neighboring town. She looked at the activity. "Everything's on schedule," she said softly. "Enjoy the quiet time with your children now my fellow Senshi. It's only temporary."
The Original and Cosmic Senshi awaited in excitement for the arrival of the Elysian Senshi. They had greatly missed them and were glad they were returning home. "Here they come," Neo-Princess Usagi called. And sure enough the girls were all coming toward them. When they saw their mothers and grandmothers they broke out running. Hugs and kisses were all around.
"You helped me so much," Annika cried to Brooke. "If only I had known who you really were"
"I'm glad I was the one who helped you," Brooke added.
"You really are a best friend," Rei added stroking Brooke's lavender locks.
"Mom," Marina told Ariel. "No offense. But you were a brat when you were a child"
"No argument there," Ami stated.
"Hey," Ariel exclaimed with a mixture of annoyance and amusement.
"Well you were a handful, no denying there," Ami pointed out. Then they all laughed softly and embraced each other.
Meanwhile Daisy embraced her daughter affectionately. "That was one of the best times when you and that other girl were visiting," she told her.
"Why's that?" Violet asked.
"The two of you caused more trouble then I ever did," Daisy replied and a huge sweat drop appeared on Violet's head.
"That was true," Makoto muttered as she remembered those days.
Meanwhile Celine only gave her mother and grandmother half-hearted greetings. "Celine I've missed you," Gloria cried hugging her daughter tightly.
"Then why did you send me away?" Celine asked pulling free from the hug.
"You know we had to Darling," Gloria replied.
"I was miserable," Celine cried as a tear rolled down her cheek. "Some other girls came and they were horrible to me. And all of you knew that this would happen since you were there and you still sent me back"
"Celine we're sorry that happened to you," Minako began.
"Just stop," Celine shouted. "You don't care about me otherwise you wouldn't have sent me back." With that Celine took off toward the palace. Gloria and Minako hurried after her.
"Those other girls were terrible to her," Hannah quietly stated.
"We know," Serenity murmured.
"Well maybe she'll get over it," Rose pointed out. "Come on Minna. Let's go see our bothers and sisters." The children all took off followed by the Cosmic Senshi.
"There's going to be more heartache," Michiru sighed and the original Senshi all nodded sadly.
Further into the future the Senshi, Cosmic Senshi and Elysian Senshi all waited with excitement. As soon as the Crystal Senshi appeared there were cries of delight and hugs everywhere. Everyone was glad to be back together.
"Aunt Gloria," Lily called holding up her book. "I think you and I have a huge prank to play"
"I guess we do," Gloria replied as a huge sweat drop appeared on her head.
"I'll take that," Violet firmly said snatching the book out of Lily's hand.
"Hey!" Lily exclaimed.
"After those pranks you pulled back in the past I am not letting you on the loose with this," Violet firmly told her.
"At least I didn't come up with crazy ways to fix furniture and invite wild people to private parties," Lily pointed out. This time Violet got the huge sweat-drop on her head while everyone else chuckled.
"If only we all knew who everyone really was at the time," Madelyn laughed.
"Oh it was a challenge keeping it from all of you," Rei pointed out.
"But we love a challenge we had big ones during that time," Haruka added.
"And it prepared us for what came next," Hotaru concluded and the Senshi nodded in agreement.
Tiffany was excited to be back with her grandmother and great-grandmother again. "I really let my mother have it," she announced. "I treated her the way she always treated me"
"We know," Gloria stated.
"We were there," Minako quietly reminded her. "But Tiffany your behavior wasn't right. You should treat people the way you want to be treated"
"I said I was sorry," Tiffany pointed out. "But she hit me anyway. I guess she was always a terrible person." She picked up her bag. "Come on. Let's go to our chambers. I can't wait to see my room again." She went off in the direction of their chambers. Minako and Gloria followed and Ami caught up with them.
"Should we tell her?" Minako asked Ami.
"No," Ami replied. "Not yet. She still has a lot of healing to do. Maybe once she has healed we can tell her. I don't want guilt and shame to get in the way of that." The three women nodded in agreement. Everyone headed to their homes, ready to get life back to normal again.
The End
