Disclaimers: This is a crossover between Sailor Moon and Danny Phantom. I do not own these two shows. Sailor Moon is written by Naoko Takeuchi in manga form and aired as a series by Toei Animation and TV Asahi in Japan and by Kodansha Comics in North America. Danny Phantom is created by Butch Hartmanand aired as an American animated action adventure television series by Nickelodeon in 2004.
"Great One," said Frostbite, "Her majesty is alright. She is just resting after using most of her energy from her last attack against our enemy."
Once Serena was unconscious, everyone did not waste time in running out of the castle. Danny had to use his kingly aura to tell the ghosts that the battle was over, that their side won. With that signal, most of the ghosts that were on the side of the former King Endymion IV's evil plans were apprehended by those on Team Phantom's side, the ghosts waiting for their punishment. It, however, didn't stop the Senshi, the Reincarnates, Danny, and Jadeite to disappear with a reformed King Endymion IV and Frostbite towards Danny's inherited castle, Frostbite being pulled by a frantic Danny once everyone was outside of the castle. Once they were at Danny's castle, Danny all but shoved the unconscious Serena towards Frostbite, desperately telling Frostbite with his eyes to save his Beautiful. Frostbite, along with some of his Yeti tribe's men, didn't waste time as they quickly brought Serena to the infirmary and were checking Serena's vitals. Now, however, Frostbite came out with good news after attaching medical equipment to make sure Serena survived. "Thank goodness," said Michiru.
"I… am sorry for everything that has happened," said a frustrated King Endymion IV.
"It was not your fault, Endymion-ōsama," said Jadeite, "You were controlled by Queen Metalia."
"If only I had a stronger will power," sighed King Endymion IV, "Then, I would have had the power to push Metalia out of me."
"Well, that's all in the past," said Jazz, "It is time to live in the future."
"Live," questioned King Endymion IV with mirth.
"You know what I mean," said Jazz with embarrassment, "Even as a ghost, they thrive. Just look at Frostbite. His medical technology is by far superior to anything we have in the mortal plane."
"I suppose you are correct," said King Endymion IV.
"Of course, she is," said Tucker, "That's our Miss Psychologist for you."
Jazz became embarrassed once more, yet she could still tell that King Endymion IV regretted on what had happened thus far. It took the hour where Frostbite was helping Serena to tell the former King of Earth about what had happened, making King Endymion IV blanched and wince at what had happened. Jadeite placed a comforting hand on King Endymion IV's shoulder in comfort because he knew what his ōsama was thinking. Jadeite also knew that Serena wouldn't hold any grudge, just like she did with his time as the evil Jadeite long ago. As Jadeite tried to comfort King Endymion IV, everyone else turned to the two children that were with them. They could now interrogate the two because Serena wasn't in any danger any longer. "So~," said Minako who dragged out the o, "Who exactly are you two?"
"I'm Danny's cousin," said Dani, "I already said that."
"Yet," said Mamoru, "We have reason to believe that that's not true."
"Tough luck," said Dani, "Because I am telling the truth."
"Yeah, right," said a sarcastic Rei, "If Chibi-Usa points at Chibi Earth pretended to be Usagi's cousin, then we know that you points at Dani are pretending to be Danny's cousin."
"She's got you there," snickered the now known Chibi Earth.
"Shut up," said Dani with a flush, "It's your fault when you came back to the future and just HAD to say you were Usagi's cousin instead of something else."
"I learned it from you," said Chibi-Usa.
"Wait a minute," said Tucker, "You are telling us that you are NOT Danny's clone turned cousin?"
"Clone," questioned Ami.
"Tucker," yelled out Danny and Sam together.
Tucker looked perplexed about Dani's origins while being very ashamed in outing about the clone thing. Danny sighed as he tried to relax. He knew that Tucker was very curious about Dani's origins. Hey, he was curious as well. Yet, Tucker could have phrased the question without revealing the clone thing. Sam was furiously glaring at Tucker for outing Dani like that while Tucker, himself, ducked behind Kwan for protection. Team Phantom could tell everyone was curious about the clone thing, yet the three just looked at Dani to explain. Dani rolled her eyes as she looked at everyone else. "So, I may have told Danny, Tucker, and Sam that I was Danny's girl clone," said Dani, "While Danny as Phantom was fighting boy clones of himself that Vlad created once upon a time."
"Now that I think about it," said Danny, "You were the only one that was a girl."
"Well," said Dani, "It was easier to pretend to be a clone, even if I turned out as a girl, than telling you the actual truth."
"And that truth is," said an amused Setsuna.
"Do I have permission to tell them, Pluto," questioned Dani sarcastically.
"Hai," said Setsuna, "You and Chibi-Usa have permission. Demo, remember that I am not the Pluto you know."
"Ugh," groaned Chibi-Usa, "Time paradoxes are so confusing."
"True that, cuz," said Dani, "True that."
"Cuz," questioned everyone.
Chibi-Usa and Dani looked at each other sheepishly. They knew the truth about their origins, yet were everyone ready to know it? Setsuna was the only one to know since she IS the Guardian of Time. Everyone else either stared at Setsuna for information to the two children that were in front of them. King Endymion IV and Jadeite also tuned into the conversation after hearing clone from Tucker. They too were confused on who the two children were and wanted to know if they were related to them or not. Chibi-Usa sighed as Dani crossed her arms to let HER be the first one to tell everyone. "I am… Terra Dia Manson," revealed Chibi-Usa, "The future daughter of Neo-Queen Samantha Manson of Earth. I will not reveal who my father is because I believe Samantha and my future father have not met yet."
"You lied," questioned Mamoru.
"Lied," questioned the now known Terra.
"You said you were Chibi-Usa and was the daughter of Neo-Queen Serenity Chiba of Earth and Neo-King Endymion Chiba of Earth," said Ami.
"Oh," exclaimed Terra, "You are talking about the alternate Chibi-Usa! I'm a different child altogether from THIS timeline."
"Oh," said the Senshi and Mamoru in realization.
"Anyways," said Terra who looked at Dani expectantly.
"I am… Theia Danielle Fenton," revealed Dani with a sigh, "Yet, I prefer to be called Dani. I am the future daughter of Neo-Queen Serenity Fenton of the Moon and the Infinite Realms and blushes at this part Neo-King Daniel Fenton of the Moon and the Infinite Realms."
"D-Daughter," choked out Sam and Danny together.
"S-So, you are my niece," questioned a shocked Jazz and Dash.
"Surprise," said Dani who was doing jazz hands.
And, what a surprise the reveal was. Danny and Sam looked almost faint while Mamoru sighed in resignation. He had to talk to Serena about them before he could move on. He also bet that Danny and Sam had to do the same as well, yet he knew that it was about Sam's crush and not about Danny and Sam being together. In the past, Usagi and Mamoru were still together, yet Serena and Mamoru were not. Rei looked surprised as well. She really thought Chibi-Usa would turn out to be Mamoru and her child due to the red within her hair. Though, to be fair, there were THREE Earth royals present. "Excuse me, Great One," said Frostbite with a cough.
"Y-Yeah, Frostbite," questioned Danny.
"Serena can now have visitors," said Frostbite, "Yet, I caution that Serena SHOULD stay in the infirmary for a while before you venture back into the living realm."
"Thanks, Frostbite," said Hotaru with a smile.
"Aeolian," questioned Mamoru.
"Uh, it's Danny," said Danny.
"Yes, Danny," said Mamoru absentmindedly before asking, "Would it be alright if I talked to Serena alone? I also believe you and Ashara should talk to each other as well."
"What about us," questioned Haruka, "I want to see koneko (kitten) as well!"
"Same here," said Minako.
"I think we should let them talk alone," said Setsuna, "We can wait after everything is resolved."
"Resolved," questioned Makoto, "Resolve what?"
As the others looked at Setsuna questioningly, Danny nodded his head in acknowledgement to Mamoru before silently disappearing with Sam with his invisibility and intangibility abilities. Mamoru, on his part, saw the nod before silently leaving the arguing people towards Serena's room. It wasn't long until… "Hey," said Kwan.
"What," questioned Dash.
"Where's Sam, Danny, and Mamoru," questioned Kwan.
"Eh," questioned everyone before looking around and thinking, 'Where did those three go now?'
- With Danny & Sam –
"So~," said Danny, "When did you have a crush on me?"
When they disappeared, Danny took Sam to an unoccupied room. Sam jerked her arm away from Danny before looking around. She knew that they should talk about her crush on Danny, yet she was being very quiet about it. She really wanted Queen Metalia and Pharaoh 90 to be alive again so she could put her frustrations about her crush being ousted on the two. Yet, she couldn't as the enemy was destroyed… permanently. Hearing Danny's question, Sam winced before answer, "I… kind of had a crush on you for a while."
"Why didn't you tell me," questioned Danny.
"Because you were so oblivious to my feelings," said Sam, "You were pining over Paulina. Then, later on, it was Valerie. So, when, Danny, could I have possibly tell you?"
"Well, I could have told you mine after that Gregor/Elliot fiasco," confessed Danny.
"S-So, you did have a crush on me," questioned Sam.
"Well, yeah," said Danny, "Y-You were pretty and cool. You also hung out with Tucker and I, faults and all. Of course, I had a tiny crush on you."
"Had," questioned Sam as her face fell.
"Well, I had time to think about this crush I had on you for a while," said Danny, "Sure, we would be together, but I couldn't really see each other in the long run. Your feelings also could have been the guilt as well."
"Guilt," scoffed Sam, "Guilt of what?"
"You know," said Danny with a knowing look.
Sam shifted as her eyes diverted from Danny. Of course, maybe her feelings were also about the guilt of being the responsible one on Danny dying half way… not once, but twice. She really shouldn't have wished that wish. Yet, without that guilt, she wouldn't have grew closer to Danny and saw his other side… his protective side. Danny, who dropped everything to make sure everyone was safe in Amity Park as Phantom, made Sam feel like she was the only girl who would understand him… until Serena came along that is. She, too, could see Danny had only eyes for Serena before the whole reincarnation thing. She still didn't understand how Serena could have been living in Amity Park while also living as Usagi Tsukino and as Sailor Moon. As she pondered about that, it was Danny who also brought her out of that musing. "Also," said Danny, "You have to face this fact, Sam. You are kind of controlling in your own way. You want things to be your way and not another. Just look at how hard you fought against being reincarnated because of some feelings you had for me. I am sure that we would have fought constantly if we were dating each other, too."
"I… could see that too," conceded Sam.
"But, hey," said Danny, "No hard feelings. Though from the future daughter thing, I'm sure you will find the perfect guy for you no problem."
"So, still friends, right," questioned Sam.
"Of course," said Danny, "You wouldn't be able to get rid of me as one of your best friends… reincarnated cousin or not."
"Thanks, Danny," said Sam, "Now, I think there's a girlfriend who is dying to know where you are."
"I'm sure that she knows I'm talking to you," said Danny with a smile, "But, yeah, let's go."
With that, Danny turned Sam intangible and invisible before flying upward to the entire group. Sam gave a smirk as she reappeared in the middle of the group, startling a lot of people. Though, in her heart, as she felt the coldness disappear towards where Serena was going, it would be a while for her heart to mend. 'Who knows,' thought Sam, 'I'll probably find that guy once we are all back in Amity.'
- With Serena & Mamoru –
"Usako," whispered Mamoru.
"Hm," hummed Serena as she looked at Mamoru, "Tuxedo… Kamen, right?"
Mamoru didn't know what would happen as he approached the infirmary where Serena was. Since he, along with the Sailor Senshi, knew that Serena remembered being Sailor Moon, just maybe she remembered their love for one another when Serena was Usagi. However, as he came into the room, he looked at Serena's crystal blue eyes to see… that she had no recollection of him as Mamoru. It even made it true when Serena asked him if he was Tuxedo Kamen and not calling him Mamo-chan. Mamoru hid his pain as he confirmed Serena's question with a nod. "Why are you in here," questioned Serena.
"J-Just to tell you that Aeolian will be coming soon," said Mamoru, "He had to talk with Ashara."
"Ah," said Serena, "I'm sure that this talk was long overdue for them."
"You think," questioned Mamoru.
"Un," nodded Serena, "I had a feeling that Danny had a small crush on Sam, yet he has his reasons for not dating her."
"Ah," said Mamoru.
Mamoru didn't know what else to say as Serena turned her head to watch the green clouds from the Ghost Zone float by. Mamoru studied Serena as she watched the green clouds go by. He could see that she was a bit worry on Ash- ah… Sam and Danny's conversation, but he knew that Danny was head-over-heels in love with Serena. He could tell because his looks mirrored the ones he once had when he was with Usagi. It wasn't long that Danny appeared into the room and ran up to the bed. "Beautiful," said Danny.
"Koi," said Serena with a smile.
"I'm so glad that you are alright," said Danny, "I was worried that…"
"Do not be, love," said Serena who gently lifted Danny's head so their eyes met, "I am fine and alive. I will always be with you, Danny. I love you."
"I love you, too," said Danny.
As the two had a moment, they never noticed Mamoru silently walk back out of the infirmary. He knew that he lost Usagi that day she saved the world from Pharaoh 90 once, yet seeing the couple, he knew that he was doing the right thing. 'Be free, Usako,' thought Mamoru with a solemn aura around him, 'I will miss you, yet be free with the one you love. I will always love you… Usako.'
AN: Ah~, the ending is a bit melancholy. ((´д`)) However! Mamoru is giving Usagi happiness in her third life. He knew that would happen when he found out that Serena doesn't really remember him, except for him being Tuxedo Kamen. (っ◞‸◟c) As for Danny and Sam's conversation, I really do feel like Sam didn't really have feelings for Danny. Sure, in the show, it kind of showed it at the end, with Ember and her love spell, and with the dream with Nocturne, yet that was it. It also always showed that she would also try to push her own agenda instead of compromising, like what couples should do. So… yeah… I made the conversation between them like that. (-‸ლ) As for the children, it was a reveal, that's for sure. (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و Anyways, happy reading and see ya in the epilogue after this chapter! |ω・`)
