Disclaimer : I don't own the characters.
Well here it is, the final chapter of 'say hello'. I have to admit that I had a lot of fun writing this story but I had a lot of trouble doing so. This was my first attempt on a UsagiRei story and before that I never gotten a real feel for the pairing. Anyway, A special thanks goes out to everyone who took the trouble to review me and encougared me to keep updating. Without you I couldn't have done it. I hope you'll like this chapter as well. Enjoy!
Summary : Usagi's world is falling apart. The love she always believed in seemed to be a big lie and now she even finds love in one of her Senshi. What happens when everything wasn't what it seemed to be after all? What if Usagi now had to choose between her future prince and the senshi of Mars?
Say Hello
Epilogue
- In The End -
''R-rei...'' Usagi stated, suddenly breaking down into tears. She was so glad to see the raven haired girl.
''I can still easily beat you.'' Sakura hissed, raising her hands in the air. Slowly she started to create a dark energy ball which was much a like as the one Hattori had used to sent them to this alternative world.
''If you think I'll wait for you to finish that attack you're crazy!'' Sailor Mars yelled before attacking the girl with another one of her attacks. This time the pink haired girl easily dodged it.
''I wasn't prepared before.'' She laughed. ''I am now.''
Michiru also straightened up now. She had to help the senshi of fire. It was obvious Rei couldn't do this alone. ''Neptune planet power make up!'' She yelled. Nothing happened. ''Neptune planet power, make up!'' She tried again, her voice getting desperate. She tried a few more times but without any success. Disappointed in herself, Michiru fell down on her knees to the ground.
''It's alright, Rei is strong.'' Usagi said, her voice full of confidence. Michiru simply nodded, staring at the scene in front of her. She felt so powerless, so useless.
Sakura started to laugh upon seeing the expression on the raven haired girl's face. ''Face it..'' She paused for a moment, enjoying the feeling of having full control of the situation. ''I am much stronger than you are.''
''Never!'' Sailor Mars shot back, running towards the devilish girl.
'She's losing her temper. Sakura is just playing around.' Michiru observed. 'She wants to see how far she can push Rei. I am pretty sure Sakura isn't even using her full power yet. Rei has to focuss.'
Sakura raised her hand in the air again. This time she didn't waste any time on her attack which hit Sailor Mars before she even knew it was coming. The raven haired senshi got blown away to the other side of the field causing Usagi to scream upon seeing this happen. ''Stop it!'' She added, jumping up as she run towards Mars.
The pink haired devil hesitated for a moment before creating another attack. This was the perfect oppertunity to blast that so called princess to the other side of this realm. 'You're mine now.'
She didn't even get the chance to attack the blonde princess though. A bright light suddenly lighted the whole field, causing all three girls to cover their eyes with their hands.
A few seconds later the light has disappeared again. Everyone needed a few moments to let their eyes get used to the darkness again. Michiru was the first to recover but was shocked by what she saw. In front of Sakura stood a woman with a long white dress, her hair was blonde just like Usagi's. She immidiately recongized the woman as Serenity. But there was something different. This wasn't the Serenity she had seen before.
''The Neo Moon Queen...'' Usagi whispered when she also had recovered from the sudden outburst of light.
Sakura didn't move at all upon seeing the figure in front of her. Somehow she didn't have the strenght to do anything anymore. ''I am sorry but I can't let you do this.'' Serenity spoke, looking at Usagi and Rei for a few seconds before turning her attention back to the devilish girl.
''Wh-what's happening to me? Why can't I move?!'' Sakura yelled, ignoring the woman's words.
''I freezed you in time. But I only freezed you, parts of you that it. You can talk and move your head but for the rest you'll be stuck.'' Serenity replied. ''Like I said ; I can't let you do this. Not again.''
''A-again?'' Usagi repeated somehow not understanding what was going on her. Was this the real Neo Moon Queen or was she just a hologram created by this alternative realm to mislead them?
The blonde queen nodded, smiling sadly. ''I never liked doing this. You won't stop disliking the idea of being a queen either.'' Serenity started, giving an answer to a few of Usagi's question. ''Most of it you'll find out later on. But you can surely make it easier for yourself though. And don't worry about Chibi-Usa...'' She paused for a moment as if she wasn't sure of what to say next. ''She'll be fine.''
''What do you mean?'' Usagi questioned while pulling Mars closer to her.
''Follow your heart Usagi. Not the rules. Rules are meant to be broken, I've never heard anyone say that a heart is meant to be broken as well. Don't make the same mistake as I did.'' With that said everything turned black.
Usagi blinked a few times and before she knew it she was sitting in the middle of a huge room, surrounded by all the other senshi. Serenity was still standing in the centre of the room next to Usagi. Sakura was no longer with them.
''What the...'' Haruka started but was cut off by Setsuna's fingers on her lips. The blonde tomboy just decided to stay silent after seeing Michiru. She was glad her girlfriend was ok and to her that was the most important thing. She didn't need any explainations.
''Usako!'' Mamoru yelled after realizing that this was indeed real. ''I've missed you so much!'' With that said he run towards the blonde girl who was still holding an injured Mars. He didn't seem to mind the raven haired senshi though and just hugged the small blonde.
''What a whimp.'' Minako whispered, looking at Haruka who nodded in agreement. She would've said something about it but Setsuna was still pressing her fingers against her lips, making it impossible for her to say someting.
''Mamo-chan...'' Usagi whispered while staring at Serenity who smiled.
Follow your heart Usagi,
And then in a blink of the night Serenity had disappeared again, leaving her past self and her friends behind. It was all up to Usagi now.
''U-usagi?'' Suddenly another voice started causing everyone to look down at Mars who had started to wake up.
''Rei!'' Usagi cheered, suddenly forgetting all about Mamoru again who fell back in shock. He just sat there, staring at Usagi who was now holding and kissing the raven haired girl happily. ''I... was...'' She paused for a moment, placing another kiss on Rei's cheek. ''So...'' Another kiss on her cheek. ''Worried, don't you ever...'' This time she placed a small kiss on Rei's lips. ''Scare me like that again.'' Usagi was now crying again while pressing her lips together with Rei's as they met in a passionate kiss.
''What the hell...'' Mamoru stammered, slowly standing up. This explained why Haruka and Setsuna had been acting so weird before. ''Usako!'' He yelled, suddenlyanger washed all over him. He wouldn't just accept this!
With a vicious look in his eyes he started to walk up to Usagi. He knew Rei was too weak to defend the blonde at this point. ''So this is what you've been doing behind my back! While I was kipnapped you...'' He couldn't even finish his sentence. Before he could Haruka and Makoto both had stepped towards him and knocked him out.
Both girls smiled proud upon seeing their ex-future prince hit the floor.
Rei and Usagi just gave the two a greatful smile before looking at each other. Their eyes met and for a moment they just sat there, looking at each other while enjoying the feeling of being together. It wasn't official yet though. Both girls needed it to be. ''So this mean,'' Rei paused for a moment and before she could finish her question the blonde princess had already answered her.
''Yes Rei. That means I am yours...'' Usagi said, closing the gap between them by kissing her girlfriend. The other senshi just stood there, smiling happily. This was all that mattered after all. That their princess was happy.
''I told you they'd get together eventually!'' Minako mused, walking over to Setsuna. ''You owe me.''
Haruka raised an eyebrow, pushing Setsuna's hand away from her lips. ''You owe her what? Don't think that I'll borrow you any money.''
Minako giggled when she saw Setsuna slightly turn red. ''Well actually Haruka,'' She started. ''Setsuna owes me so much more than that, ne koi?'' It took a while before her words finally hit Haruka.
''WHAT?!'' She yelled in shock. ''The two of you are...''
Michiru placed an hand on her lover's shoulder. ''I thought you knew everything, Ruka.''
''I thought I knew everything too.'' The blonde sighed. ''But I guess I'll never understand Sets. She's just so confusing. Not human anymore.''
''Don't start again Tenoh!'' The senshi of time warned her blonde friend who jumped up.
Rei and Usagi pulled back for a moment, both as well embarrassed as amused. It remained silent for a couple of minutes.
''What will we do about Mamoru?'' Ami suddenly asked, breaking through the silence.
''Kill him.'' Makoto suggested but by the looks she saw on Usagi's face she knew it wasn't an option.
''That's not important.'' Setsuna replied. ''We should better worry about Hattori and how we're going to get out of this strange world.'' With that said the green haired woman turned around.
''Escaping this place will be the biggest problem. I mean with our powers and with the power of surprisement we could easily beat Hattori.'' Ami stated. ''My computer is still looking for a way out of here...''
Setsuna nodded. ''Alright then, we'll wait until Ami found a way out of here then, in the meantime we'd better start planning how to defeat Hattori.''
''What if we lure him to this place?'' Haruka wondered out loud. ''If we beat him this world will disappear as well. We'll be back in no time. Then again, without our powers...''
Don't worry. It's all been taken care of.
See it as some sort of present from the future, for making the right choices...
''Honto ni, don't worry about it.'' Usagi suddenly spoke, smiling all of a sudden. ''I don't think we'll have to worry about Hattori anymore.''
''And why's that?'' Minako raised an eyebrow, not understand how Usagi could be that positive all of a sudden.
''My future self took care of it.'' Usagi answered. ''I am sure of it. For now escaping is our main problem.'' The others simply nodded, deciding to believe the words of their princess.
----
''Usagi, wake up.'' A voice whispered, causing Usagi to slowly open her eyes. She was greeted by her girlfriend who placed a small kiss on her forehead. ''It's morning.''
''I wanna sleep.'' Usagi whined. She was too tired to stand up. Yesterday's battle had completely worn her out. They had been able to escape that alternative universum eventually. Serenity had been right as well, when they came back to their world Hattori was gone. All traces of him ever existing had vanished completely.
Rei giggled when Usagi pulled the blankets over her head again, rolling over. ''Usagi, love...'' She tried again. ''Today we were going to talk to your parents. Remember?''
Immidiately Usagi sat up. She had completely forgotten about that. She had hoped Serenity would've solved that little problem as well. No such luck ofcourse. There were still a lot of things she had to do by herself. Facing her parents was one of those things.
Rei nodded, pressing her lips together with those of her girlfriend. At first the kiss remained innocent but then after a few seconds it became more passionate as Rei opened her mouth for Usagi's tongue to explore hers. For a moment they just sat there until Rei suddenly pushed Usagi backwards, ending on top of the blonde. ''My oh my...'' Rei said, looking down at her girlfriend.
Usagi blushed. ''Stop that Rei...''
''Stop what?'' The other asked while bending down and starting to place butterfly kisses on Usagi's neck. ''I love you Usagi...'' She whispered when she pulled back again.
The blonde's face grew serious. ''I love you too.'' She replied, smiling. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad as she thought it would be, facing her parents. Not as long as she had Rei by her side. Not as long as they were together.
----
''So what really happened to Mamoru?'' Minako asked the green haired woman who lay next to her.
Setsuna smirked before rolling over and reaching out for the newspaper on her desk. ''This...'' She replied before handing Minako the news paper.
Tokyo, Friday night some people reported a strange noise they heard. After about 20 minutes the police arrived at the scene and investigated the neightbourhood. They had been expecting to find a robber or something but instead of that they found a black haired man who wanted to remain anonymous. (Mamoru Chiba, we don't do 'anonymous'.) He was wearing a pink skirt with underneath that a pair of red heels. On top of that he was wearing a tank top while crying hysterically. According to our sources he was crying and screaming something about lesbian heroines who ruined his life.
The police brought him to a mental institute for full recovery. What exactly happened to the man isn't sure yet but whatever it was it was enough to scare all the sense out of him. You can also...
''Check our website for futher information.'' Minako finished. ''Unbelievable. What did Haruka and Makoto do to him afterwards?''
''Isn't it obvious?'' Setsuna laughed. ''They played a dress up game with Mamoru as their only contestant.''
Minako sweatdropped. It didn't really matter, as long as he got what he deserved for being such an ass. Since they couldn't take it out on Hattori in the end it had been Mamoru who was choosen to play Hattori's 'part'. ''Oh well,''
''You can say that again...''
The End
I am not so satisfied with the end myself but I can't help it! I wrote this chapter five times over and I still don't like it... Maybe it's because I've simply lost inspiration for this story. Anyway, I tried my best and I hope that was enough. Please let me know what you think and remember... I only accept flames when they're constructive or written by another author (no one anonymous) on this site. Atleast give me a chance to defend myself XD. Thanks for reading!
