A Birthday Party to End all Parties

It was finally June 30th which meant it was time to celebrate all the Neo Senshi's birthdays together. Again they all had birthdays throughout June with today happening to both the birthdays of the Queen and Princess of both land and sea ironically.

But as stated at the end of last summer it had been decided for the girls finally becoming teenagers they'd have one big huge birthday bash at the end of the month to celebrate them all together at once.

They'd decided to hold the party in the special cove behind the Crystal Palace so that Oki's people could also attend and that Oki and her daughter wouldn't have to worry about the whole water problem. So there were several hundred beautifully decorated floating tables out in the water and a huge shell were friends of Orca and her Aqua Senshi team were going to be providing the musical entertainment for the party.

The band was called The Sirens and they'd been working all year long to perform for this party and couldn't wait to show off the special songs they'd written. They had special song for each birthday girl based on her personal interest.

In fact the rest of the party decorations across the land area had been done in an extremely imaginative and cool style to highlight and showoff who each girl was as a very unique individual.

Though there're still a number of the decorations still meant to showcase what these two families and the Senshi themselves represented. The powers of friendship, family, love, unity and harmony. On the other hand it was all done so perfectly and wonderfully it was mind-blowing.

The party started shortly after dawn and it was guaranteed to last well into the night once it started. The beautiful music from the unique musical instruments and enchanting mermaids' voice got everyone in the mood to start dancing. Didn't matter if you had fins or feet everyone was dancing for a good two hours.

There was one person who couldn't dance at the moment but she was being spun around in her wheelchair by her new kindhearted adopted parents.

Yes, Demi had lived from her demonic possession if just barely. She had in fact been dead after the banishing spell had been performed. Nevertheless the left over energy from the two groups and their wish for her to live had revitalized her.

She was still recovering slowly and though her parents had lived from their attempted murder they'd been found guilty of child abuse and neglect and also been fired from their jobs based on their own behavior towards the children they'd taught with them harsh and abusive ways.

Neo Queen Serenity was beyond appalled when Demi had spoken in detail what her parents had put her and others through and when she'd spoken to others to confirm this she was even more appalled by it.

So having no choice she'd stripped the Morgans of both their jobs and rights to Demi permanently and sent them to an undisclosed location for their own kind of treatment in hopes that they could be made to see the errors of their ways and find redemption.

Demi on the other hand had been adopted by head of Crystal Palace Guard and his wife who were childless. They're the complete opposite of the parents she'd grown up with and didn't care that Demi had a very long road to recovery.

Neo Queen Serenity had even gifted the girl a special necklace. A pendent of sorts made up of moonbeams that would let others know if she was in danger or sense evil and protect her if anything should harm her again. It was her "Welcome to the family" gift.

Demi was grateful for it and just happy to have a loving home with loving parents and friends at last. So she was very much enjoying the party as was all the birthday girls right down to the kittens who were also celebrating their birthday as well.

After lunch it was time to get gifts and it seemed like everyone had gotten their heart's desire for their gifts. The Inner Neo Senshi got the following birthday gifts.

Crystal's birthday gift was she got accepted as a Veterinary assistant. Christen's birthday gift was she managed to make her first GOOD divination prediction. Ariel found out she got the role she wanted in a play she tried out for and for Gracie? One of her works was gonna be published and gonna be made into an animated movie!

So they're all thrilled and if the Inner were happy so were the Outer Senshi who also seemed to have their heart's desire's meet too all their dreams come true as well.

Holly for example? Was getting to show off her line of Princess Dresses for the girls in a real upcoming fashion show! Her sister Alexis got to wear the Princess Neptune dress she'd made for her. Emily had discovered a new power. A form of Death Reborn Revolution she called "Reborn Revolution" It instead of destroying and restarting everything, it repairs the damage done by the battle! And finally Trisha? She was actually asked by Neo-Queen Serenity herself to do the Queen's hair for the party!

So the Neo Senshi were on a very big natural high from their birthday gifts and so were the three new teenage kittens as well. Since their gifts seemed absolutely perfect for them as well. Luna and Artemis had made sure to give their three new teenagers the perfect gifts as well.

Comet was given a personal studio of her own with a piano her size as well as art supplies to pursue her artistic and musical talents. Asteroid now also has his own personal computer and personal chess set. And Diana was given her own space to still try and find out who she was and what she's talented in with still tons of objects and pursuits to explore. Needless to say all the newly teenage cats were thrilled to have their own personal space in the Palace and couldn't stop thanking their parents for it!

As for two new teenage princess of land and sea? Both Chibiusa and Orca had been given special lockets. On the right side was a picture of all their loved ones on the left was the words "Always trust your heart."

They thanked their parents for the special gift before the girls challenged their teams to both a game of limbo on land then after limbo the Neo Senshi tried out transforming into mermaids for the first time to play a game of water volleyball.

This carried on till nearly twilight when it would finally time to see the mega big cake for everyone to eat. It was just as the cake was being brought out that something unexpected happened.

The full moon was rising and once the moonlight hit the water it being to become a swirling mix of water and moonlight and everyone stopped what they're doing and just stared in silence and after a few moments the strange phenomenon stopped and out of it came Queen Serenity and Queen Oceana appeared!

Everyone lost their voices just as the little mermaid had lost hers. The two queens who crossed over from the afterlife paid no mind. They made their way over to their daughters and granddaughters with purposely movements and they still to the shell-shocked daughters hugged them tightly and whispered.

"Happy birthday my child."

"Mother!" cried both queens who smiled and they bent down to hug their new teenage granddaughters and whispered again "Happy birthday, my granddaughter!"

"Grandmother!"

Then both daughters and granddaughters asked together. "How and why are you here?!"

"Do you really think even across the mist of space and time we would miss seeing our own granddaughters finally becoming teenagers?" Queen Serenity asked with a cocked eyebrow to her daughter.

"Especially after their Viewing with the Mystifier?" Queen Oceana told them in a mildly amused tone.

"I suppose not but it's not every day once is reunited with their mothers who've been dead for many millenniums either!" cried out Oki in a stuttering tone!"

"No, I'll give you that my little, Water Lily. But we weren't about death to stop us from being part of the celebrations either."

"Not when we had a gift that we meant to give to both of you when the time came and we weren't about to let the fall of the first Silver Millennium stop us what we meant to give back then either!" Queen Serenity as she and Queen Oceana were now taking out each a dark blue velvet heart shaped boxes and handed them to two sets of birthday girls.

"This was always meant to be given when your daughters turned 13," their mothers explained as they opened the gifts and there're a set of identical rings inside. Both sets of rings were made of gold and were intertwined hearts. Only the bands were different. Neo Queen Serenity and Chibiusa's were made of moonstones and Oki and Orca's were made of pearls.

"It means your forever part of each other and that your love is forever. Mother and daughter forever no matter how old you get you are forever together in each other heart both in love and spirit." Their mothers explained as their daughters and granddaughters examined the rings.

"Thank you!" they exclaimed and hugged them and allowed them to slip the rings on them.

After this strange present they all return to the party to have cake and just enjoy that the bonds of love, friendship and family held true throughout time and no matter what the future hold these truths would hold strong forever.

The End.
