Chapter 10: The Final Morning--Part II--The Cats Speak and the Two New Baby Girls

Flashback from Last Chapter

She soon felt a finger under her chin, making her to look up at Ed, "Chin up, missy," Ed started to say, "Whatever you're saying happened in the this past, right?" Hotaru nodded her head weakly, "Well, you can not live on past experiences like that. They all have to be happy; not sad!"

Hotaru smiled at him. He was trying to cheer her up; and it was working, "You're right."

They both soon got up from where they sat, "We better get back Ed, I be Setsuna is worried about where I am."

Ed made a smile; a smile that he'd never made before. It was a loving smile. They soon walked out of the clearing in the wood and back to the Cul-De-Sac, with Ed's right hands locked with Hotaru's left hand…

End Flashback from Last Chapter

As you could already guess, Ed and Hotaru holding hands would get the attention of almost everyone when they get back to the Cul-De-Sac. But back in the Cul-De-Sac, almost everyone was at the Lane at the moment, doing something fun or just hanging around. Johnny was discussing with Minako about a strange dream that he had like night while Usagi, Mamoru, Plank, Luna and Artemis were all by Johnny and Minako's side, listening to Johnny's description of the dream.

Rolf, who finally finished his chores a short while ago, was discussing with Setsuna about his life here and how it was different from the life he had in the Silver Millennium. After finishing up what he said, Setsuna started talking about what she and the others have been up to; like defeating five different enemies in the course of five years, and such things like that. Rolf was happy at the fact that Queen Beryl was now gone for good.

And, oh yes; Sarah, Jimmy and Makoto were all talking about each others favorite recipes on different kinds of cakes and sweets. Ever since Makoto was assigned to stay at Jimmy's house, Makoto and Jimmy got along just fine; almost like a sister-brother bond of some sort (AN: Lol, there's a clue!).

Anyway, it was when Jimmy looked off to the woods for a second that he noticed something peculiar, "Hey… isn't that Ed coming out of the woods over there…?"

"Who cares," Sarah stated airily, not really caring.

"… He's with that Hotaru girl from yesterday," Jimmy continued; that caught the attention of both Sarah and Makoto.

"What?" They both stated with confusion.

"I thought Setsuna said that Hotaru was still asleep," Makoto stated.

"Well, she's obviously awake now," Sarah stated.

Ed and Hotaru started to come over to Johnny and the others around him. Rolf and Setsuna also came over to Ed and Hotaru. It was a few seconds later that Sarah, Jimmy and Makoto would join the crowd as well.

"Hiya Ed!" Johnny greeted as he looked at Hotaru before he turned back to Ed, "What're ya doing with Hotaru?"

Ed and Hotaru glanced at each other for a second before Ed finally said, "I have that knotty-feeling in my tummy, guys!"

Everyone got what he meant as they all widened their eyes; he couldn't have said it any better than that.

"… When did this… feeling show up, Hotaru?" Setsuna asked Hotaru.

Hotaru was silent at first before saying, "… Mistress 9 came back out of me again."

"What?!" exclaimed Usagi, Mamoru, Setsuna, Makoto and Minako (AN: Luna and Artemis thought the same thing). Johnny, Rolf, Sarah, Jimmy and Plank looked at them with confusion.

"But how?!" Usagi continued for the others, "I thought we took care of her ages ago!"

"I thought so too," Hotaru stated, "But I guess things like that can never get away from you…"

She felt a hand being placed on her left shoulder, "At least it's gone for good now."

Hotaru looked up at Ed and made a smile, "Yes; thanks to you, Ed."

The other kids were confused, "You mean to say to us that Ed defeated Mistress 9? All by himself?!" Makoto exclaimed.

"How did he do that?!" Minako asked.

"Well…" Hotaru started to explain, "… Ed had a past in the Silver Millennium; he was to protect me in the past."

Usagi, Mamoru, Setsuna, Makoto and Minako all made a gasp (AN: Luna, Artemis and even Plank contained their gasps). Rolf was speechless; he couldn't believe that Ed was a part of the Silver Millennium.

Naturally, Johnny, Sarah and Jimmy were still confused.

"Sliver… Millennium?" Johnny questioned to himself, "That sounds way too familiar…"

Plank widened his eyes a little; is he finally starting to remember?

Johnny widened his eyes a little, "That's right!"

Everyone turned to Johnny, "What's right?" questioned Jimmy.

"That place called the Silver Millennium; it was the place in my whacky dream I had last night!"

"Really?" everyone asked; mainly the people who were listening to him when he explained his dream a while ago.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's right!"

There was an awkward moment of silence as everyone started to look at Johnny, staring at his forehead, "… What? Do I have something on me?"

"No way…" stated someone from the crowd. Everyone turned towards the person who said the statement; Minako, "You're from Venus?"

"Huh?" Johnny questioned, not knowing that his planetary sign was showing on his forehead.

Plank made a little sigh to himself; time to reveal his voice, "Johnny."

"Yeah buddy?" Johnny stated to Plank as everyone (AN: Except Luna and Artemis, who already knew Plank could talk) jumped about a foot into the air, with Jimmy screaming, "Ahh! Talking cat?!"

"I think it's time for you to remember your past life fully," Plank continued to say as he then turned to Luna and Artemis, "Can you do Sarah and Jimmy for me, you two?"

"Will do," both Luna and Artemis replied as they both walked up to Sarah and Jimmy, who were both a little frightened at the fact that these cats could talk too.

Suddenly, a bright beam of yellow, purple and green lights came from the cat's foreheads, which made marks appear on Johnny, Sarah and Jimmy's foreheads; it was the planet signs of Venus, Saturn and Jupiter. Soon the light faded and disappeared from sight from their foreheads.

The three blinked a couple of times before saying, "… Whoa."

A couple of minutes passed by as everyone started to remember their past lives even more. It was almost like a big class/family reunion.

It turns out that Sarah was still Ed's baby sister in the past. Johnny was the son of an advisor on the planet Venus. And Jimmy was Makoto's little brother, meaning that he was the young prince of Jupiter (I'm so sorry, you guys! I've forgot to put in how they were related to who and how everyone knew each other. Please forgive me, because I was in a rush at the time!).

It was about thirty seconds later that Kevin and Nazz come rushing into the Lane, both with smiles on their faces, "Hey guys," Nazz said as she and Kevin come walking up to them.

"Hey Nazz; hey Kevin!" greeted everyone, "How did the visit at the hospital go for you two?" asked Sarah.

"Good," they both stated, "Its baby girls for both of our moms," Nazz said with happiness, "Making up big siblings."

"Wow!"

"What are their names?" Jimmy asked.

"My sister's name is Amara," Kevin stated, "It seemed kind of weird at first, but it's a pretty cool name."

"And my little sister's name is Michelle," Nazz said, "It feels great to be a bigger sibling."

And so, for the rest of the time, everyone talked about Kevin and Nazz's newest siblings; Amara and Michelle, who were both back at the hospital with their mothers and fathers.

Okay, I hope this chapter wasn't confusing to you guys. I kind of took my time on it at the beginning and, at the end, I think I rushed it too much.

So, Haruka and Michiru are now Amara and Michelle (AN: Their American Dubbed version names)... and they're babies again (AN: Aww).

As for what happened to them, look back at Chapter 6 and see what they're wearing; wedding clothes (AN: Don't worry, it wasn't their wedding; it was Usagi and Mamoru's wedding). I'll just say what happened to them; they both died when the Soul Busters attacked Usagi's wedding.

I hope this isn't confusing anyone! If you are confused, I'll gladly reply to your questions. Oh, and I'll start doing replies personally instead of doing them in the story. That way, you'll get your answers in a jiffy!

EDIT: I've added what Sarah, Johnny and Jimmy's pasts were (AN: I've forgot to put it in! DX)
