Missing Sailor
Chapter 49
" Joshua Ichiro Hanzo.." Mr. Kamasuni read Josh's name at the graduation. The school had been closed for a week after all the damage Emma did, but school was opened just in time for finals and of course Graduation. Emma's leg was in a splint now, it had been two months, and considering her leg had been broken in five places, it was taking a while to heal. Josh had escaped with barely any injuries, which was a surprise since a 112 pound, 13 year old girl fell from a three story building and on top of him. He had a bruised Lung, and a broken rib, which both healed fairly quickly. Emma took a picture as Josh accepted his diploma and sat with the rest of the class. After a few people...
" Serena Usagi Tsukino." Serena had her hair down, which fell to almost her ankles. Darien had proposed to her the night before at her graduation party, and they were going to wait a year before they got married. Her engagement ring shimmered in the sunlight.
" Now, a speech from our Valedictorian, Ami Sachi Mizuno." The principle said as he stepped away from the podium. Ami came up with her cap and gown, along with her many awards and medals.
" Hello, One and all. Together we have gone through six treacherous years of jr high and high school, give or take a few new students." Ami smiled at Josh. " And together, we became friends, enemies, partners and couples. But after today, some of us will continue the friendships we have, and some of us will lose touch and move on with our lives. But the years that we've shared together will never fade. Tomorrow, we will not be high school students anymore. But, adults. Freshman in college for some, new employees in the grown up world for others. Some will get married right away, and start a family, and others will date and try to find the love of their lives. It's all up to us. We won't have our parents to make sure we do our homework, or make sure we make it to bed on time, or make curfew. Those are a few of the blessings we will receive. But, I can assure you, tough times will be ahead, but we'll just have to take it on. A few months ago, our school was attacked, and two students were fatally injured, but made it through. While the rest of us stood in the sidelines and watched them fall. Now it's our turn to fight. Have our families watch in the sidelines of life, and hope for an outcome that will please us. I have enjoyed my years in Tokyo Central. I hope you all have too. So before we all go on with our lives, make the best of the people we have around us. So, class of 2006, the future is ours, grasp it and take it head on." Ami smiled to everyone. " Congratulations, and thank you for these wonderful years." Ami shook Mr. Kamasuni's hand and took her seat in the crowd.
" Thank you Ami." Mr. Kamasuni smiled. " Thank you all for coming to this years graduation. I now present to you, Class of 2006!" All of the graduates threw their caps in the air. Sam helped Emma stand up as they all clapped. After the ceremony, Emma limped over to Josh and hugged him. Serena kissed Darien and put an arm around his waist.
" Congratulations guys. Great Speech Ami." Emma smiled. Emma's hair was french braided with a few locks of hair at the side of her face. Sam had a hand on her waist, since she was kinda tipsy thanks to the splint. She was falling over more times in one day than she did in a week.
" Thanks sis." Josh kissed her fore head.
" Congratulations son." Hotaka shook Josh's hand. Beth hugged him and kissed his cheek.
" Minako!" Two people came running over.
" It's MINA Mom." Mina groaned.
" I'm sorry sweet heart."
" Ai, leave her alone." Mina's father said.
" Doesn't she look so cute with her boyfriend Goro?" Ai asked.
" Yes dear." Goro smiled.
" Mom, Dad..." Mina started.
" Me and Mina are going to move in together."
" WHAT?" Hotaka and Beth exclaimed. " No no nono! You just got out of highschool, and you're not even married!"
" Oh, how Romantic!" Ai swooned.
" Go for it Mina." Goro smiled.
" Thanks dad!" Mina hugged him.
" But Mom! I've dated Mina for almost a year. why not?" Josh asked. " I'm moving out soon anyway. And I'm 18. A legal adult." Josh said.
" Err.." Beth growled. " We'll talk about it later. After the party."
" Okay." Josh said.
" Hey Meat-ball head!" Rei called over. In her own maroon cap and gown. " I didn't think I'd ever see the day, when Odango Atama would ever graduate High school."
" Ooo. Rei! Why do you have to be so mean?" Serena cried.
" Don't cry Serena, at least we're being nice to you!" Lita came over in a green sundress with a green gown draped over her arm.
" Yeah Serena-chan." Amara said from behind her. Michelle had her arm around her waist.
"Congrats you guys." Trista said warmly.
" Yeah, you all did a great job!" Hotaru smiled.
" You all came!" Serena cried.
" Thanks you guys." Mina smiled.
" Yeah. Arigatou!" Ami bowed.
" Okay, guys, start picking cars, you're all invited to the grads party!" Beth said.
" Yeah!" everyone cheered. Emma was pulled away by Rini all of a sudden.
" Emma, I'm going to get going." Rini said.
" Oh, you're headed to the moon aren't you?" Emma asked.
" Yeah. But you'll see me in like an hour. It will be three and a half months for me." Rini smiled.
" Okay, I'll see you in about an hour." Emma smiled. Rini nodded and hugged her. " Ow ow ow!" Emma winced. " Sorry, put my weight on my bad leg." Emma smiled.
" Oh! Sorry, Em-chan!" Rini said.
" Don't worry about it. Tell your mom, everything will be okay." Emma said.
" No problem. I'll tell everyone you said hi. They'll all be glad to hear it." Rini said. " It's been three years since they've all heard from you..I just wonder how Uncle Josh will take it." Rini said.
" Tell him, I love him." Emma said.
" Yep." Rini waved and then disappeared.
" Emma!" Sam ran over. " There you are!"
" Sorry, Rini just wanted to say goodbye." Emma said.
" She left for the moon?" Sam asked.
" Yep, but she'll be back in about an hour. Three and half months for her."
" Everything is okay now." Sam whispered in her ear.
" Yeah...it is..." Emma smiled. " But I think I'm going to miss Hoshiko."
" Hey, ten years...ten more years." Sam smirked.
" I know."
" Come on, your mom wanted me to make sure you didn't hurt yourself walking over to the car." Sam said taking her arm.
" Hey, I'll be fine!" Emma snatched her arm away. three steps later she fell over.
" Yeah, you'll be fine all right." Sam said sarcastically as he helped her up again.
" Ah, shuddup!" Emma frowned. Sam laughed and carried her bridal style over to the car.
Everything was going to be all right.
