And now, the conclusion...

While the Golden Crystal is now lying in Lily's hands, she sadly gazed at her friends as they are slowly disappearing. "This can't be," Lily whispered.
"Lily," Sarah spoke softly. "Tell us the truth, are you really…?" without completing the sentence. Lily understood what Sarah was trying to say.
"Yes," Lily nodded in guilt.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Rue asked.
"I was scared," Lily muttered. "I wasn't ready for it, even though I was raised in the Silver Millennium heritage in the 30th Century. But part of me never wants that, all I ever wanted is to be a regular girl. Go to school like other girls, to make some friends, and feel not being trapped. If I have told you girls about it, I was scared that you or everyone else would treat me differently. Even though, I never wished for it."
"No, we wouldn't," Skylar shook her head. "We would treat you just the same."
"Uh…" Lily looks at her friends; nearly in shock.
"That's true," Jade nodded. "Even though you are a princess, you are still Lily. A girl who is very gentle, kind, and open to others. Like any other girl would be, that's who you are. And we like you that way."
"That's right," May nodded. "Being a princess doesn't change who are you, it presents you that you are very true to yourself. Nobody else would change that about you."
"There's no shame about it kid," Taylor added. "Being princess or not, you are still you. So don't be sad about it either."
"Girls," Lily shed some tears as she's been touched. Suddenly, the girls are slowly disappearing even faster. Lily began to panic for a bit. "No girls, please don't leave. I'm not ready to let you go or to say goodbye yet."
"You don't have to," Sarah smiled. "We are already part of you since you have given us strength. Now our strength is your strength, all you have to do is to look deep from the inside."
"Sarah," Lily tries to reach out. "May, Rue, Jade, Skylar, Taylor."
"We love you, Lily," May shed tears as she smiled.
"You have to keep going," Rue added.
"And keep fighting," Jade added. "For all of us."
"And we will always be with you," Skylar continued.
"Always," Taylor added.
"Girls," Lily sobbed.
"We'll see each other in the next life in the future," Sarah reassured her as she, May, Rue, Jade, Skylar, and Taylor disappeared without a trace.
"Girls, no." Lily cried harder as she is now alone. "I can't do it, I don't want to be alone." Lily tries to hum while she tries to calm herself down.

"Speechless" from Aladdin
Sang by: Naomi Scott

Here comes a wave
Meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Broken again
Left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder

Lily whipped some of her tears while she breathes a little.

But I can't cry
And I can't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down

Lily slowly curled up when she brought her knees up to her chest; while she is sitting up.

I can't stay silent
Though they wanna keep me quiet
And I tremble when they try it
All I know is I won't go speechless

She sobs as she buries her face between her knees.

While Lily is crying, Lily has started to feel the atmosphere that once felt cold has started to become warm and comfortable. Suddenly, all she heard is droplets of water echoing within the area. Lily nearly took some breaths as she wipes the tears from her face. Suddenly, a sound of a horse neighed through the air. "Young Maiden," a male voice has spoken gently to her.
"Uh," Lily looks up. "Whose there?" Lily whipped her tears as she turns to look behind her. In one shocking moment, Lily saw a winged horse with a gem and a golden horn on its head. Similar to her newly stuffed animal that was given by her sister. Lily gasped in awe with a slight blush have appeared on her cheeks.
"Young Maiden," the Pegasus spoke. "Please don't cry or your Mirror of Dreams would become dark."
"My Mirror of Dreams?" Lily echoed. "What is that?"
"You will know very soon," the Pegasus walked toward her. "But right now, I have been asked to take you somewhere. There some people that wished to see you."
"But why now?" Lily asked when she shed some more tears, "I just lost my friends and I feel useless without them. I don't know if I…"
"You don't know?"
Lily sobbed, "Know what?"
"Your friends, they are right here." Suddenly, a golden mirror appeared. Suddenly, music played in the air as if the dreams always remember when you are awake. But yet, the Pegasus began to sing to the music.

"Your Heart Will Lead You Home" lyrics from The Tigger Movie
Sang by Kenny Loggins

Sunny days and starry nights and lazy afternoons
You're counting castles in the clouds and humming little tunes.
But somehow right before your eyes the sun fades away,
Everything is different and everything has changed

The mirror began to show some images of her memories with her friends right beside her.

If you feel you lost
And on your own
And far from home
You're never alone you know
Just think of your friends
The ones who care
They all will be waiting there
With love to share
And your heart will lead you home

Funny how a photograph
Can take you back in time
To places and races that you thought you'd left behind
Trying to remind you that you're not the only one
That no-one is an island when all is said and done

The Pegasus paused for a moment, "They have always been there beside you and live inside of your heart, Young Maiden." The Pegasus spoke gently, "All you have to do is to look deep down and open your heart that is full of love. That's what keeps your Mirror of Dreams from going dark. So don't let that light do out, live for them as they have lived for you." Then he continues to sing as the mirror show more images that are Lily's friends, her sister, and Bailey.

"Girls," Lily smiled as she rubbed the surface of the mirror and shed some tears. Slowly, she has slowly started to feel their presence. Reassuring her that everything is going to be alright. Also feeling the love for them and their love in return, along with Chibi Usa's and Bailey's.

There'll come a day when you're losing your way
And you won't know where you belong
They say that home is where the heart is
So follow your heart and know that you can't go wrong.

Suddenly, the images show Usagi and her friends welcoming Lily and her friends. Showing more love that still growing.

Once the Pegasus finished singing, Lily fully calmed down and began to smile again. "You're right," Lily turned to the Pegasus. "I have to keep going. For them, so I mustn't be depressed about their departure. I have to carriage each moment that I have with them alive in my heart. So, they will always stay beside me so I wouldn't feel alone."
"I'm glad to hear it," the Pegasus voice has brought a warm smile to the air. Suddenly, the mirror disappeared without a trace. "It's time to go," the Pegasus lowered himself. "Climb on."
"Uh," Lily hesitantly climbs on the Pegasus. "Am I heavy for you?"
"Not at all," he shook his head as he stood. "Hold on tight."
"Yes," Lily nodded as she held gently on to his mane. Suddenly, the Pegasus began to gallop and took flight in the air.

~Meanwhile...~

While Chibi Usa is running through the ruins of the Crystal Tokyo, Bailey was nearly out of breath when she was following Chibi Usa. "Slow down Small Lady," Bailey barked.
"I can't," Chibi Usa replied. "Something must have happened to Moonflower; I don't know how to explain it. But I just know and felt it."
"Moonflower is going to be fine," Bailey reassured her. "She is strong, loyal, brave, and true. So, there's nothing to worry about, Small Lady."
"I can't stop," she shook her head. "I'm going to see it for myself."
"And what would you find when you get there, little girl?" an unfamiliar voice has spoken through the air.
Chibi Usa stopped as she gasped. Bailey nearly skids to stop right next to her.
Bailey growled as she nearly shook in fright while both she and Chibi Usa. Seeing a figure within the shadows; who is staring at them within the darkness. Chibi Usa nearly shook in fright as she and Bailey are staring at the figure in return.

~Meanwhile…back with Lily and the "Pegasus"~

While Lily is riding on the Pegasus, she sees that she once saw the ruins of Crystal Tokyo but the scene changes with water that shines like crystals. This place, Lily thought. I've been here before. Suddenly, a shining light appeared in front of them. Lily looks up, seeing a huge tree that shines brilliantly underneath the moonlight with the night sky that is filled with stars in the background. Lily's eyes widened in amazement, "Is that the place?" Lily asked.
"Indeed, it is." The Pegasus replied as his flight began to lower down. As if he is beginning to land.

Once he has landed, the Pegasus is standing on the water. Close to the roots of the tree with life around it. He lowered himself so Lily wouldn't struggle to get off of him. "Thank you," Lily thanked him.
"You're welcome, Young Maiden." The Pegasus replied as he stood, "This is now we parted ways."
"Why?"
"I have other responsibilities to take care of," the Pegasus sadly lowered its head. "I hope that you may understand."
"Sort of," Lily replied honestly.
"Farewell," he was about to take flight.
"Before you could leave, could you tell me who you are?" Lily asked as she knew that he is real and he can be trusted. The Pegasus looks eye to eye with her, in kindness and understanding.
"I will tell you," the Pegasus answered. "Once our paths meet once again, in the future." The Pegasus reached out his head, letting his lips touch her cheek.
Lily blushed as she felt a soft peek has touched her cheek.
"I promise," he spoke as he took off. Suddenly, the Pegasus started to glow and disappeared without a trace.

Once the Pegasus was gone, Lily softly blushed as she touched her cheek. That peck, Lily thought. I've…I have felt it before…but where…?
"Moonflower," two familiar voices called out to her.
"Huh?" Lily turned as she snaps out of thought.
"Moonflower, you have finally awakened at last." The voices spoke to her with the sound of proudness.
"Please tell me, who are you?" Lily walked towards the tree, "Why did you call me?"
"Very well," said the first voice.
"It is time to introduce ourselves to you," said the second voice. Suddenly, two figures that are women appeared out of nowhere.
"Welcome Moonflower," said the first woman that belongs to the first voice. "Let us introduce ourselves, my name is Serenity. The Queen of Ancient Silver Millilumen, but to the age of myth. I was once known as Selene, the Goddess of the Moon."
"My name is Earthia," said the second woman that belongs to the second voice. "I am once Queen of Ancient Golden Millilumen that lives on Earth, and Guardian and Keeper to the world that is very blessed. That land was known as Elysion."
Elysion? Lily wondered. Where did I hear that before?
"But to the age of myth," Earthia continued. "I was once was known as Gaea, the Goddess of Earth."
"Queen Serenity, Queen Earthia…" Lily nearly gasped, "But…that means…"
"That's right, dear one." Queen Serenity nodded.
"We are your grandmothers," both Queen Serenity and Queen Earthia spoke together.
"But why? Why reveal yourselves to me now?" Lily asked in curiosity.
"Because it is your time," Queen Earthia replied.
"Once you have been awakened as the Earth Princess from the future, the communication between us becomes stronger." Queen Serenity replied, "And we know what has happened before your awakening."
"We have felt your sadness before you came here," Queen Earthia added. So, I've sent an old friend to help you."
"In which in fact, he did." Lily nearly blushed, "And I am grateful for that." Lily lifted up the Golden Crystal, "But I still can't believe that this crystal was formed by my tears, the charm, and the gems that once belonged to my friends."
"That was the bond of your friendship and love that you have with your friends," Queen Earthia replied. "That's how it helps the crystal to reappear."
"To reappear?" Lily echoed, "But…I don't understand, what do you mean by that? I still have papa's crystal before all this, how can this…?"
"Forgive me to interrupt that question, Moonflower." Queen Earthia sadly looks away. "But that question will be answered to you at another time. But you will soon find that out for yourself."
"Okay," Lily nodded.
"Even you may have lost your friends and the glow of the crystal may have lost its shine," Queen Serenity spoke. "But don't be sad, we know that you will see them again. I'm sure of it." Lily thought for a moment, but slowly. A smile has formed upon her face as tears slowly in her eyes.
"I know that I will," Lily nodded as one of her tears have fallen. As the tear touches the crystal, it begins to shine. "Uh…"
"Your love and friendship are indeed very strong," Queen Earthia smiled.
"Oh, you are just like your mother." Queen Serenity smiled, "That's what makes me even more happy and proud to have a granddaughter from the future."
"My thoughts exactly," Queen Earthia nodded as she too smiled.
"Please be careful of what you may say," Lily spoke. "I don't want Small Lady to be left out."
"We understand," Queen Serenity nodded.
"But…can you please tell me more of how the crystal shines like that?" Lily asked.
"In a way, with these words." Queen Earthia spoke, "Serenity would tell you the same thing as she has told Sailor Moon of how she uses the Silver Crystal."
"What do you mean?" Lily asked.
"Moonflower," Queen Serenity spoke. "You must remember that the Golden Crystal will always follow your heart. Once it follows it, it will keep on shining."
"But if you have any doubts, it will lose that shine and wouldn't keep up." Queen Earthia added.
"So that would explain how mama controls her emotions like that," Lily thought out loud. "Guess that I need to learn by her example."
"But not too hard and much thought into it," Queen Earthia spoke.
"Indeed, there will be consequences if you do that much." Queen Serenity nodded. "It could cause it to lead to an error of your control towards your emotions.."
"What do you mean?" Lily asked.
A scream echoed throughout the area. "Big Sister!" A familiar voice cried out in fright. "Someone, please. Help us!"
"Chibi Usa, Bailey." Lily panicked as she remembered what happened before her awakening as an Earth Princess of the 30th Century. Oh no, they're in trouble. Lily thought. And they are all alone, I've got to help them. Slowly, Lily's eyes turned to determination. "Forgive me to cut this meeting short, but I have to go. I got to save Small Lady and my pup."
"We understand, Moonflower." Queen Earthia nodded.
"Your sister and Maiden-In-Waiting are now waiting for you," Queen Serenity nodded. Suddenly, Lily's new brooch appeared.
"My brooch," Lily gasped. "I thought it was broken when my friends and I have battled against Nightshade."
"It was," Queen Serenity nodded. "But now, it has been fixed."
"Your brooch was now been forged by your friends to repair it and given you the strength to transform again," Queen Earthia added. "So you will keep on going for them and fight for what you loved."
"But remember this, Moonflower." Queen Serenity spoke, "You both are a princess, a Sailor Guardian, and a normal girl from both in and out. Who is happy, kind, generous, and a fighter of justice…"
"And the fighter of Sanctuary," Queen Earthia added.
"You are an inspiration for others to keep on fighting for what is right and to be true to themselves instead of being what everyone has taught you to be, just like Sailor Moon has." Queen Serenity continued, "Never forget that."
"I understand," Lily nodded as she took the brooch. Suddenly, the broach opened. "Oh," Lily gasped as she saw a mirror on the lid and a compartment in the brooch. "It looks similar to Sailor Moon's brooch, but has different designs."
"That's right," Queen Serenity nodded.
"Place the crystal inside the brooch, so it will be close to your heart." Queen Earthia added.
"Right," Lily nodded as she places the Golden Crystal inside the brooch and closed it. "Thank you, Grandmother Serenity, Grandmother Earthia. I hope that we will meet again."
"Soon will we," Queen Earthia nodded.
"Now repeat these words as we send you to your sister and your maiden," Queen Serenity spoke.
"Earth Crystal ~ Rose Power, Make Up!" Both Queen Serenity and Queen Earthia spoke together. Suddenly, the tree has begun to glow very brightly as everything turned to light. "Good luck, our descendant."
"Thank you," Lily nodded as she held her brooch firmly. "Hold on Chibi Usa, Bailey. I'm coming. EARTH CRYSTAL ~ ROSE POWER, MAKE-UP!"

Lily's Transformation Description

Lily held up the brooch as its lid opened, revealing a golden crystal within the center. As Lily waved her hand, the crystal sparkled with the hint of stardust then her fingernails turned light green and brown. Suddenly, the brooch began to float in mid-air; above Lily's head while it was suspended between her hands then she drew her hands down until the brooch is in front of her torso, where it has turned and affixed to her chest. Lily began to spin a few times before a pair of light golden wings then appeared on her back. Suddenly, her body was enveloped with a glow that turned into a leotard with the brown bow in the center along with the brooch clipped onto the bow. Suddenly, a light green collar appeared with three brown stripes. All of a sudden, her wings vanished as Lily raised her arms as the green and brown ribbons wrapped around them. Turning them into a pair of middle-lower arm-length white gloves trimmed in light green and brown pipping's. Suddenly, the green and brown ribbons began to wrap around Lily's legs and turned into a pair of green calf-high boots trim in brown that has a golden Earth symbol on top of them. Suddenly, a pair of dangling stars with Earth symbol earrings appeared on each of her ears. Suddenly, a green skirt appeared around Lily's waist with a light brown bow on the back. Suddenly, a symbol of Earth with a Crescent moon appeared and started to glow on top of Lily's forehead before turning into a light green gem with a silver tiara and a light red and brown gem right next to it. Suddenly, a green with brown stripe choker appeared with a bright green jewel attached to it. Suddenly, Lily's ribbons glowed as her hairstyle remains until feather shape hairpins were attached to her ribbon. Lily smiled as she spun around and strike a pose in front of an image of Earth and the Moon with moonflower and rose in the background.

Transformation Description Ended...

In the ruins of Crystal Tokyo, Chibi Usa and Bailey are cornered against a wall. "Whoever you are, stay away." Chibi Usa cried out in fright.
"Not until I eliminate you, Little Rabbit, and that dog too." The figure spoke with a sinister grin.
"Oh, I hate cliches," Bailey growled.
The figure chuckled, "Now hold still, it wouldn't hurt as much." The figure was going to attack.
Both Chibi Usa and Bailey screamed in fright, suddenly an item happened and stopped the attack.
"What's this?" The figure looks down, seeing a rose and a moonflower; their stems are braided to become one, have almost shot him when they appeared out of nowhere.
"Don't come any closer to them or you will have it," a voice spoke within the area.
"Whose there?" The figure shouted in anger as it, Chibi Usa, and Bailey looks up.
"Sorry, let me introduce myself." A new figure smiled, "I am a pretty guardian, who fights for love and Sanctuary. I am Sailor Earth! In the name of the future Earth, I will fossilize you!"
"Sailor Earth, perfect timing." The figure chuckled, "I was wondering when you're going to show up." Within a blink of an eye, Sailor Earth appeared right in front of Chibi Usa and Bailey. Shielding them from the figure's sight.
"Now tell me, who are you?" Sailor Earth growled.
"Glad that you asked," the figure took off his cloak. "Names Larva, I am a warrior of the Black Moon. I've come to end the Rabbit and take you to my master."
"Well, that's not going to happen," Sailor Earth shook her head. "EARTH MOONFLOWER TWISTER!" She tossed her attack.
Larva grunted in pain.
"Small Lady, you must take cover." Sailor Earth spoke.
"Wait, how did you know my name?" Chibi Usa asked.
Bailey jumped as her face become nearly pale underneath her hair.
Oops, Sailor Earth thought. "Your sister…she told me." Sailor Earth lied as she guilty looked at Chibi Usa.
"Moonflower," Chibi Usa becomes nearly happy. "Did she send you?"
"Indeed, she did."
"Where is she?"
"Somewhere safe, but for now. It's time to keep you safe as well."
"Not while I'm around," Larva growled. "DARK FIRE!"
"Uh," Sailor Earth grabbed both Chibi Usa and Bailey into her arms then she jumped with all of her might. Suddenly, the fire hit part of her right leg. Sailor Earth grunted in pain but landed on her side with Chibi Usa and Bailey unharmed.
"Sailor Earth," Chibi Usa panicked.
"Are you alright?" Bailey asked.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Sailor Earth sat up as she lets go of them. "I've been through worse cases than this one."
"I understand," Bailey nearly whimpered.
"But why?" Chibi Usa asked. "Why did you risk your life to protect me? Why? I'm just a stranger to you."
"It doesn't matter if you are a stranger or not," Sailor Earth placed her hand on Chibi Usa's head. "Keeping those that are innocent safe or not is more important to protect than my own. But I did make a promise…to keep you safe Small Lady," Sailor Earth gently smiles. "And that's what I'm going to do, so there's no need to be sad."
"Uh…" Chibi Usa gasped.
"You're fast, but not very." Larva approached them.
Sailor Earth growled as she slightly struggles to stand. "EARTH ROSE SWORD DANCE!" Roses appeared, turned into swords, and launched her attack towards Larva. "Now go Small Lady and take cover."
"But…" Chibi Usa was about to protest.
"I'll be fine, just go. Everything is going to be okay now, just trust me."
Chibi Usa looked at her in worry, but soon understood about Sailor Earth's determination to fight. "Okay, good luck." Chibi Usa nodded. "Come on Bailey," she spoke to the pup.
"Coming," Bailey replied as she and Chibi Usa ran. A few meters away, they hid behind the pillar and some large rocks.
"What a weak attack," Larva summons his weapon and destroys her attack.
"No way," Sailor Earth gasped.
"I'll leave more wounds for you but not very lethal," Larva spoke. "So my master will not be made at me any further."
A weapon, Sailor Earth prayed to the Golden Crystal. I need a new weapon, please Golden Crystal…lend me strength and guide me.
"Pull out your sword," a male voice echoed throughout her head.
"Huh?" Sailor Earth felt something warm upon her brooch. Suddenly, her hand started to move toward one piece that is attached to her brooch.
"Now," Larva nearly growled. "It's time to kneel."
"I will not kneel, not to you." Sailor Earth spoke as she pulls out the item. In a flash, the item turned into a sword that balanced well within her hand and fully blocks Larva's attack.
"What?" Larva nearly jumped.
"Now, let's see if you kneel instead." Sailor Earth raised her hand, "EARTH TUXEDO LA-BOOMER!" Her attack has been launched. Pushing Larva away from her. Badly wounding him in the gut. As Larva is a few meters away from Sailor Earth, he begins to struggle to stand.
"Why you little…" Larva spits out some blood. "You will pay for that."
"Then bring it," Sailor Earth stands firmly while she silently grunted in pain and held firmly to her sword.
"JADEITE RED…" the first voice cried out as red roses appeared.
"TURQUOISE LIGHT BLUE…" the second voice cried out as light blue roses appeared.
"TOPAZ ORANGE…" the third voice cried out as orange roses appeared.
"ZOISITE PINK…" the fourth voice cried out as pink roses appeared.
"NEPHRITE YELLOW…" the fifth voice cried out as yellow roses appeared.
"KUNZITE WHITE…" the sixth voice cried out as white roses appeared.
"ROSE SWORD DANCE!" All six voices cried out as they launched the roses to become their attack.
Larva cried out in pain.
"Sailor Earth," the sixth voice cried out. "You must return him back to an item where he once was."
"I wish that I could, but how?" Sailor Earth replied. "The Earth Stick is gone, I don't…" Wait… Sailor Earth thought for a moment. Unless…Grandmother Serenity…Grandmother Earthia…please lend me strength…
"We hear you Moonflower," both Queen Serenity and Queen Earthia replied as they appeared in the moonlight. "You can now use this, your Earth Rod." Suddenly, the Earth Rod has appeared. "You are now ready to use it, good luck Moonflower." The voices of the queens have faded away as they disappeared.
"Thank you, Queen Serenity, Queen Earthia." Sailor Earth smiled as she put the sword away. Took hold of the Earth Rod, which suddenly glowed warmly in her hand.
"What…but how…?" Larva tried to stand again.
"It's over now Larva," Sailor Earth spoke in confidence. "And it is time to return you back where you belong. EARTH PRINCESS HALATION!"
"Ahh…GORGEOUS!" Larva cried out as he disappeared.

Once he disappeared, all it now stands is a lava lamp. Unplugged and oil nearly dried up. "Yay, you did it Sailor Earth." Chibi Usa cheered as she came out of hiding.
"I knew you can pull it," Bailey wags her tail happily.
"Well done kid," the third voice spoke.
"You seem stronger than the last few moments ago," the second voice spoke.
"I agree," the first voice spoke.
"Wait, those voices…" Sailor Earth turned, seeing familiar figures are now standing in pride but happy to see the face of their leader.
