Chapter 5: Dinner and Mind-Melding

Mamoru arrived at the elementary school to find the children leading a red faced Usagi to the parking lot. Upon closer examination her cheeks were burned red from tears. While helping each child into the van he asked, "What happened?"

Only to get shrugs in response, until he came to Serena. She leaned in and whispered into her father's ear. Mamoru smiled with relief as he re-took his place in the drivers seat.

Taking time to drop off the children, leaving instructions to behave for "Aunt" Serenity and to do their homework; Mamoru drove off with a single passenger. Starting off at the park Mamoru began what he hoped Usagi would think of as the perfect date. After a stroll through the rose gardens, which Usagi and the senshi had saved a few years ago, they headed to the mall. In the mall Mamoru led Usagi from store to store having her try on anything he thought she would look good in. Soon Usagi began to cheer up and enjoy being the "Princess" again, and began choosing outfits herself. After several hours of being treated as royalty they left the mall with a new wardrobe complete with evening gowns. The only sign of her earlier bout with emotions was the red stained cheeks which Mamoru planned to remedy as well. Usagi gasped as Mamoru pulled up to the Millenium Spa and led her in. There she recieved a massage and facial, and exited looking like the enchanting princesses of old. Shyly she exited the spa and approached Mamoru, "Thank you, Mamo-chan, I needed this," She paused to kiss him before asking. "But how did you know?"

He leaned in close and answered, "It is my privalige as your husband to know what you need and when you need it. Now I think someone needs to go home to meet up with Motoki and Naru." After a gentle kiss Usagi nodded and took Mamoru's hand as they left the mall and headed home.

The clock read "6PM" when they pulled in the driveway just ahead of a blue conventional looking car. Smiling the couple got out to greet their friends and evening guests. Serenity stood at the doorway watching tonight was going to be a long night. The quartet quieted as they approached Serenity they all knew there was alot more going on then she let on and that her name was all over it. Acting like she knew nothing of their suspitions Serenity ushered them past the living room and into the dinning room which was filled with a beautiful setting ready for the meal.

Serenity smiled as they all took their seats, "I fed the children earlier so it will just be us adults eating tonight."

Even before she finished her sentence the two couples began bombarding her with questions of how they were suppose to do jobs that they didn't know how to do, every one believed they were trained for the position but they didn't have the knowledge of any of it. Serenity sighed, "Selene guide your children, Lunar Mind-Meld!"

Serena feeling the surge of energy quickly packed up her siblings and ushered them upstairs. After putting Rose to bed with a preprepared bottle, Serena did some quick thinking and returned to the twins room with some board games to keep them occupied and out of range of the powerful magic going on downstairs. It took them a while to decide on a game and even then it was split two to two as Serena said she didn't care what game. So the decision was made to play Risk Mission style and then Monopoly.

By the time Serena had everyone in bed the energy was still flying downstairs and it had been close to if not over three hours. Deciding it best to continue staying out of the way she headed to her room to read ahead in her history class. Worry still filling the adolesent young lady over the state of her parents and angelic grand-mother.

Meanwhile downstairs Serenity's powers were waining from the stress of holding four irate adults in the mind-meld for three hours, while filling in the blanks. The seven years of schooling each went through and a slightly modified version of the lives they lived during the lunar rein. Finally feeling her job had been done Serenity reverted to her fairy form, teleported everyone to bed in the house and then allowing her spirit to return to the moon to rest and revitalize herself.

In another time loop, a princess ran for fear of her life calling for her love, "ENDY!" her voice lost to the darkness the surounded and devowered her.

Not so far away from his princess the prince, known endearingly as Endy, called for his princess, "SERE!" As a golden light poured forth from within him and stealing him away leaving only the echo of his voice calling for his love...
