Tokyo Rose & The Princess of Mercury
Epilouge: Letting Go & Moving On
Sorry about that last chapter. It was kinda sad,
wasn't it? Has anyone noticed my fight scenes suck? I
hope you guys don't think I'm that much of an idiot
when it comes to battles...Anywho, here is chapter 13.
Hope you like it! I don't own SM. Thanx to Jade, Kitty
Kat, and Senshi-chan! LUV U GUYS!!
Ami stood at her bedroom window and watched the rain
silently pour down. Lacy died nearly two weeks ago,
and now spring was here. Lacy's favorite time of
year. She always said spring was her favorite time of
year because life got a second chance. And, she hoped
for a second chance, too. If she died young, like the
flowers.
Ami was now dead to the world. It was a good thing
that this week she was out of school for break. She
had missed most of last week because of Lacy's
funeral. This week would be good for her to get things
back together.
After Lacy died, Ami powered down and called an ambulance.
She told the police Lacy had chased a thief here after
they had stolen Ami's purse. When Ami reached Lacy,
she was dead.
Ami continued to stare out the window when there was a
knock on her bedroom door. Brutis, who had been lying
on her bed, looked up and growled at the intruder.
Since Lacy had died, it had seemed Brutis had taken it
upon himself to protect Ami. Which he did to no
extent.
The person knocked again, and Brutis barked. Ami
didn't feel like company right now. She was still very
depressed about her sister. But, the person didn't
leave, so Ami called them in.
Lita silently walked into Ami's room. Brutis noticed
who it was and laid his head back down on the bed. Ami
never turned around to see who it was. She knew. It
would be either Lita or her mother. And since her
mother wasn't home right now, it could only be the
only other person who would visit her: Lita. The
others cared for her, but they felt she needed some
space and time alone. They called her, but she hadn't
felt like talking much when they did. Lita was the
only one who was gutsy enough to go into her room with
Brutis there. Mina tried that and had her leg nearly
taken off by the animal.
Lita silently walked up behind Ami, and stood very
close to her. Lita could tell she had been crying,
Ami's face was red. Lita stretched her head over Ami's
shoulder to look at Ami's profile.
"Ami?" She didn't move. When Lacy died, her friends
thought Ami had died right along with her. Lita was
the only one she would really talk to. But, tonight,
her heart wasn't in to it.
Ami was wearing her light green night gown that had
thin straps to hold it up on her shoulders and it was
cut so it came down to her knees. Lita had bought it
for her birthday before they started dating. Ami was
grateful for it, since it came from Lita.
Lita lowered her head and gently kissed Ami's bare
shoulder. Ami didn't move. Lita sighed and rubbed
Ami's bare arms with her hands, as if she were cold.
After a few minutes of doing this, Lita wrapped her
arms around Ami's chest to pull her close. Ami still
didn't move.
"Ami," Lita whispered. "Please don't shut me out
forever." Ami's response was silence, but her hands
came up to rest on Lita's arms. Lita felt something
wet hit her arm and realized Ami was crying again. Ami
began to shake from the tears that wracked her small
body. In one swift motion, Ami tore away from Lita's
arms just to go back into them, only facing her this
time.
Ami cried into the flannel shirt Lita wore as Lita
wrapped her arms around Ami's body again.
"Gods, Lita," Ami cried. "I miss her so much."
Tears came to Lita's eyes as she held her girlfriend
closer. "I know you do, Ami. But, you have to be
strong. You can't stop living." Lita cracked a small
smile. "I'd miss you too much."
Ami finally let a small laugh escape her lips. She
wiped her tears away as she thought of Lita's words.
"You're right, Lita. It's just going to take time."
She looked up as a thought crossed her mind. "If Lacy
was born again in this time from a thousand years ago,
do you think she'll be re-born again in the future?"
Lita never thought of that. Shaking her head, Lita
answered, "I don't know. I guess we'll find out in
Crystal Tokyo, won't we?" Ami smiled as the thought of
being able to see her sister again crossed her
stress-stricken mind...
(A thousand years into the future; The Time Gate)
Pluto stood at the door of time, her key staff in
hand. A shadowy figure emerged from the clouds that
hid the door from others. The figure was a woman who
wore a tuxedo from the waist up and a skirt and high
heels from the waist down. It was Lacy...Actually, it
was Rose.
Smiling, Pluto looked at her. "Thank you for coming,
Rose."
"Pleasure's mine, Pluto," Rose answered. Becoming
serious, she added, "Queen Serenity told me it was
important. What's wrong?"
Pluto shook her head, still smiling. "Nothing's wrong,
Lacy." As she spoke, Rose's clothes changed from her
battle suit to a light blue evening gown.
Lacy looked irritated. "I hate dresses. Why am I wearing
one now? And what it going on?"
"I'm granting a wish Ami made a thousand years ago,"
Pluto said. Lacy looked at her. She obviously didn't
know what was going on. "Ami asked for her sister to
be re-born in this time. I'm going to grant part of
her wish."
Lacy looked Pluto like she was crazy. "How can you
grant part of a wish like that?"
"I'm not going to give her a sister..."
(The Crystal Palace)
"PUSH, AMI!" Ami closed her eyes tight as she pushed
again with all of her might. She held Makoto's hand as
she did so.
Within minutes, a small baby's cry could be heard. Ami
opened her eyes as they handed her her new baby girl.
Neo-Queen Serenity smiled at the couple as a small boy
of ten walked into the room. She took one last look at
the family before clearing everyone out of the room.
Makoto looked at Ami as she held their new daughter in
her arms. The newly married couple couldn't understand
how Ami had became pregnant since they were both
women. But, Pluto had told them she was, indeed, with
child.
Smiling, Ami looked up at her wife. "Would you like to
hold her, Mako-chan," Ami asked, holding up their
child for her to see. Mako nodded before taking the
child into her arms and sitting in the chair next to
the bed. She was so little, the child, that Mako
thought she was going to drop her.
Mako smiled as the baby opened her bluish-green eyes
and stared up at her before making a gurgling noise.
Makoto smiled. She looked at Ami who had a small,
almost sad, smile on her face. "What's wrong, Love,"
Makoto asked.
Ami sighed as only a mother could. "Do you realize who
this is, Mako-chan?" Makoto didn't know what she was
talking about so she shook her head 'no'. Sighing
again, Ami removed a golden necklace from her neck.
The locket that was on the chain was a heart with a
single sapphire in the middle. Opening it up revealed
two little girls, twins, who looked exactly alike when
they were babies.
Showing the pictures to Mako, Ami asked, "Did I ever
tell you who these kids were?"
"Yeah," she said absentmindedly. "You and..." Makoto
trailed off as she thought of 'her.' Ami's twin sister
from a century ago. She looked down at the bundle of
joy in her arms(who was trying to pull her brown hair)
and laughed. She lifted the baby a little to show her
to Ami as if Ami hadn't seen her before. "Lacy?"
Ami laughed through her tears. "Yeah..." The small boy
who had entered the room was now sitting on Ami's bed.
He had light baby blue hair that was so light, it
looked nearly white. And his deep emerald eyes looked
over at the baby Lacy, as if trying to decide if it
would bite him or not.
"Skyler," Ami said, still smiling. "This is your new
baby sister..."
