Chapter 26: The Ending of Our Story A
After about an hour or two after the others went to sleep, the young bun head heroin woke up. Usagi began looking around, trying to figure out where she was.
"I'm in the... Hikawa Shrine?" She asked, quietly, "Where are the others?"
She glanced down at the ground and saw them, each and everyone of them asleep. She smiled brightly as the moonlight shined down on her holding hands with Mamoru.
"Tuxedo Mask." She said happily, "Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, Pluto, Fighter, Healer, Maker, Luna, Artemis, Diana; you're all here!"
Usagi felt something wet fall from her eyes and it rolled down her cheeks down to her chin. She couldn't believe that this was true, they all made it out alive and nothing bad happened while they were trapped. She smiled a little bit brighter, like the moonlight.
"I thought it wouldn't be possible, but we did it." She said looking down at her hand, "My friends, we made it out alive together and nothing can come a cross our friendship again."
Usagi glanced down, looking at all of them all again before she gave a small, quiet yawn. She laid back down and closed her eyes as she drifted off to sleep again.
...
Usagi found herself in the grove where the mansion once stood. She stood before Prince Endymion, Beryl, Prince Demande, Saphir, the Four Knights of Heaven, Professor Tomoe and Princess Serenity. Usagi bent down and bowed before them. Endymion walked over to her with Serenity at his side.
"Sailor Moon, you bow to no one." Serenity said, bowing to her.
The others followed suit. Usagi blinked a little as she noticed them bow to her. She couldn't help but to smile brightly for them.
"Thank you for your help, minna." She replied, "I don't know if we could've done it without you."
"Consider it our highest honor, Princess." Kunzite replied softly.
"You may call upon us anytime you need our help, Neo-Queen Serenity." Added Saphir.
"We will wait for your call." Demande finished.
"Now, we must leave you until you call is again." Beryl said.
"No matter what, we will be your protectors." Jadiete replied.
"Our power is your power." Nephrite added.
"Our strength is your strength." Zoisite replied.
"We are friends as well as fighters." Finished Souichi.
"Thank you, guys." She paused, "Thank you!"
"We have to take our leave now, Sailor Moon." Endymion said, "You fought well, Usagi Tsukino."
"Thank you for what you did and what your friends did." Serenity replied with a smile, "We take our leave, Sailor Moon."
Usagi stood there and watched them as they faded away into the cosmos. She felt a small tear roll down her cheeks, feeling the warmth from the light that they gave.
"Endymion, Beryl, Demande, Saphir, Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite, Kunzite, Souichi, Princess Serenity." She began, "Thank you. Thank you all so much."
...
Usagi woke up to the sound of talking and the smell of food being cooked in the kitchen. Usagi sat up and glanced over towards the crowd of her friends clustered together in the dinning room, just talking. They were also waiting for something else and Usagi knew exactly what they were waiting for.
"I hope Usagi wakes up shortly." Makoto paused, "Breakfast is about done."
"She used a lot of energy. She'll need her rest." Said Haruka, taking a sip of some coffee.
"Is that Mako-chan's cooking I smell?" Asked Usagi, "I would wake up for that."
