Blissful Returns

Epilogue: To Live and Love

"… RAMIRA!" A call caught Migachi Ramira's attention. The brown, short-haired girl immediately looked up to see a stern teacher.

"Seriously Ramira, just because you became somewhat of a celebrity, doesn't mean you can still sleep in class!" The teacher complained.

"… Sorry…" Ramira mumbled. "I still feel tired…"

"… Sensei, remember what Prof. Utonium said?" A boy asked. "Since her body was used as Bliss's vessel, which, as everyone knows, is a superhero, she would probably be dead tired."

"I know that much, Jesse." Ms. Keane replied. Ms. Keane looked at three empty seats near the back of the class.

"… How long does taking care of a Toy Shop Monster take?" Ms. Keane mumbled. At that exact moment, three girls entered the room, still in their PPGZ uniform, through the window.

"Sorry, we're late." Blossom apologized, returning back into Momoko.

"… We visited the lab for a bit." Miyako said, honestly. "We were discussing a few things regarding Bani."

"… Couldn't that wait?" Ms. Keane asked. "I mean, you can fly from school to the lab at a moment's notice during break time, you know. If you don't give a reasonable answer, I'll mark you skipping class."

"… It was about her funeral." Kaoru said, walking to her seat. "We needed to plan it immediately, since the full moon is tomorrow."

"… What the hell does a full moon have to do with-… oh…" Sakamoto replied. "Oh right, Lunar Bliss."

"If it took you that long to remember, I wonder how you were able to make it past elementary." Kaoru retorted.

"0+0 is the best question ever in Mathematics!" Sakamoto grinned.

"Hey, Momoko, Miyako, Kaoru, can I take a picture of you three as Powerpuff Girls Z later?" Jesse asked.

"No way. You'll probably have the zoom at its peak again." Momoko stuck out her tongue.

"We'll be honored." Miyako smiled.

"NO PHOTOSHOOTS!" Kaoru yelled.

"… So what did you talk about with the Professor?"

"… We would like to be excused for the rest of the day." Miyako said, handing the note.

Hyper Blossom!
Rolling Bubbles!
Powered Buttercup!

(Interview)

"… So how does it feel, Blossom?" The reporter asked. This was after the funeral on the full moon.

"… Please allow me to not answer the question." Blossom sighed, floating only a few inches above the ground.

"Ok, then. I heard that with your being a sudden Celebrity as Momoko, I wonder, did anyone ask you out as a girlfriend?"

"Yep." Blossom laughed. "If it was a month ago, I would've accepted. But I know what they're mostly after. Being a Celebrity because of being a Powerpuff Girls Z's boyfriend. The only one who is dating is probably Bubbles, and that's because the one she's been going out with has been with her BEFORE the big reveal."

"EH? She has a boyfriend?"

"Not telling." Blossom smirked. "You should find yourself a different interviewee for that."

"You don't seem too sad though, Blossom. Considering today was her funeral, you'd think you'd be a bit less cheerful."

"… That's because I know." Blossom smiled. "She's still there. She's still around."

"Is there a possibility for people to become new members in your group?"

"There's a chance." Blossom said.

"So what did you think about Mojo, Fuzzy, Rowdyruff Boys Z, and other enemies attendance in your funeral?"

"Keeps people on alert, I can tell you that."

"I noticed Blossom… You didn't cry once during the whole thing. Not even when you were making your eulogy."

"… If I ever want to shed tears for Bliss, it will be for happiness." Blossom replied. "… Her name is Bliss."

"I understand." The reporter left the girl alone.

"… She's gone right?" A voice said.

"… Yeah, Ramira." Blossom looked at the hidden girl. Looking again, she was wearing a Purple PPGZ Uniform.

"Thanks for all your work today, Ramira," Momoko laughed. "or should I say, Bliss."

"I'm… sorry for replacing her…"

"The funeral today was for Bani, Bliss." Momoko shook her head. "… I was surprised at first when Professor told me you still had Kennaium in your system and is able to transform, but I wasn't that shocked."

"You'd think you'd be angry that I did replace her." Ramira shook her head.

"No way." Momoko laughed. "I'm not THAT close-minded."

"I guess so." Ramira smiled. "I just can't get used to being Lunar Bliss though…"

"... Migachi Ramira, you are the new Lunar Bliss. Please, lend us your aid when we need it."

"Hai, Leader." Bliss smiled. "… Do you want to talk to her? Bani?"

"No, Ramira. You've exhausted yourself enough. And anyway, I don't think Bani would allow herself to be channeled by you again. Go home and rest."

"Right." Ramira walked away, reverting as she paced. Momoko looked at the moon, her tears softly falling.

"… I promised I won't cry for you, Bani… But I guess, let me break that promise because these tears are for bliss; you gave us a lot more than just memories. Your return gave us a new comrade." Momoko's hair blew as she reverted. The moment she reverted, a purple ribbon was among her red ribbon. She'll never let it out of her reach, never again.

(Non-Existence)

"… Blossom, Ramira… take care of her." Bani smiled, as the moon continued to shine with its full light.

"Thank you." Blossom had replied, but she wasn't conversing with her. It was impossible. There was no way that Bani will return. And there she stayed, watching and praying.

Epilogue End

The whole Ramira becoming the new Lunar Bliss is pretty hard on me too, but that's pretty much in-universe with my story. Any amount of Kennaium or Black Light in any living character will remain, and be reproduced by the body as part of it.
