Hello All! How are you guys and gals doing! Hopefully wonderful considering mid-terms are officially over for this semester! Yahoo! Can you tell I'm happy?

Anyway, just so you all know, I have not yet finished with this story, though I could have been….naw….I wouldn't leave you all that abruptly:) Here is Chapter 4!

I hope you all enjoy and I'm sorry about the long delay for this story and "Birthday Surprises!" I will update the other one soon….when I break down this writer's block of mine!

ON WITH THE STORY!

"What happened here?"

Saturn had just reached the bottom of the stairs and had taken a look around…a LONG look with eyebrow raised and all.

Mars, Venus, and Pluto were all surrounding Serenity, gossiping with her and each other about various things that are happening, had happened, and perhaps will happen. Then, they went on to fashion, school, ect. Of course, surrounding Serenity meant leaning against each other as close as possible; touching and kissing sporadically between sentences, and basically trying to become one person!

Across the room from the couch of cuddling Senshi, there was a contest going on atop the soft, black, and humongous rug between Jupiter and Uranus, with Neptune and Mercury looking on and encouraging them. Again, of course, the term 'encouraging' is being used in a loose sense and the two water Senshi were very encouraging to say the least; they were giving 'rewards' to the victor.

Needless to say, the various contests (wrestling, arm wrestling, rock/paper/scissors, ect.) were very fierce!

Also standing with both water Senshi was the pink Princess of the Moon, cheering on both tall warriors.

"Yeah! Go!"

Jupiter had just gotten a good hold on Uranus' arm and levered her onto her back with a rug-muffled BAMPH! Having floored her opponent, Jupiter had won a round and thus a reward. Giggling, ChibiUsa watched as both Neptune and Mercury almost literally glided over to the triumphant warrior smiling shyly as her pair of emerald eyes took in the beautiful sight of the Water and Ice Goddesses moving towards her to give their reward.

Leaning over a little so they wouldn't have trouble reaching, two kisses were delivered one after the other…on the lips!

"Congratulations Jupiter!"

"But it seems Uranus wished a rematch."

A lithe, graceful finger from the Neptune Princess pointed behind the auburn with green highlighted haired Amazon. Teal and Emerald collided.

"Yeah! I do want a rematch!"

"Fine, but you're still going to lose!"

A smirk formed on the Senshi of the Wind's face that rivaled the Senshi of Thunder and Lightning's.

"Ahh… but the score is 5-4 in favor of me Jupiter."

"We'll see how long that lasts Uranus!"

Once again the two tall women got into their positions about to go at it again when Saturn interrupted as she finished descending the stairs.

Immediately, ChibiUsa went to the youngest of the older Senshi's side and greeted her in front of everyone so they would know that they were together.

"Saturn!"

The dark-haired 19 year old opened her arms with a smile and enfolded the 18 year old girl an inch smaller than herself into her embrace.

"Princess! I see you have been keeping yourself entertained."

A heartfelt kiss was exchanged to the cheers of the Inner Monarchs and clapping of the Outer Royalty.

"Finally! We have been waiting for you two to get on with it!"

Venus' exclamation broke through the sweet kiss and caused both to pinken a little. Serenity, in her snow white dress and flowing silvery gold hair, stepped over towards her future daughter and the youngest of her Senshi. Baby blue and cinnamon red eyes gazed at each other as Serenity gauged for herself how happy her future daughter is. Seeing all encompassing love and unbound joy in the defiant gaze, the future Queen of the 30th Century smiled radiantly and wrapped ChibiUsa in a warm, loving hug which was returned.

"You have my blessing ChibiUsa, and remember, even if you are a brat sometimes, I love you very much."

Serenity placed a kiss on the pink cheek wet with a few happy tears as ChibiUsa replied, "Thank you! And even though you are a clutzy crybaby…I love you too, Mama."

More tears broke out as the two Lunar Princesses embraced each other fiercely. Letting go of her daughter some time after, Usagi's other form tuned to Saturn who had watched the mother and daughter pair talk with warm feelings bubbling in the vicinity of her heart, and pulled her into a hug.

"I am happy for you, Saturn and Hotaru! You deserve as much a chance at love as anyone else. Never forget that! And make sure to watch out for my daughter and keep her from being too much of a little brat!"

Receiving the kiss on the cheek, Saturn looked up into the wise baby blue eyes that only showed when something important is happening, and smiled softly back.

"I will make sure she stays safe, but I think she will be the one to save me every time with her presence beside me and her smile full of love."

By this time, all of the Senshi had crowded around the two love birds and mother. Once Saturn had finished replying, the Inners and Outers of the Moon Court grabbed their Princess and held on tight to her.

"We know exactly what you mean Saturn."

Pluto was the one to voice all the older Senshi's thoughts as they snuggled with each other and Serenity. Watching them, ChibiUsa and Saturn both wanted to cuddle as well…so they did!

Forgotten, for the moment, was the fact that ChibiUsa had to go back home to her time.

Forgotten, in the wake of blossoming love, that time will not be denied long…but for now, happiness reigns and plans are made to enjoy the time they do have to its fullest.

The full moon lends its light to the night, driving away the shadows that must be faced until her children are ready to take their next steps into the future.
