Hello, everyone. This is the last chapter of Phantom on the Moon, the
epilogue. E-mail me and tell me what you thought of this story, ok? When I
say Sailor Scouts, I'll be referring to the 20th century Scouts, and not the
Younger or Elder Scouts.
Usual disclaimers apply
Enjoy!!
Phantom on the Moon: Epilogue - Going Home
The Sailor Scouts spent the next few days recovering their strength
and getting to know their Silver Millennium Counterparts. Younger Mars and
Sailor Mars often double teamed on both Princess Serenity and Serena when
the usual chances came along. Both Younger and Sailor Mercury defended both
Moon Princesses. Both Litas exchanged recipes for their meals, and you
guessed it, both Minas tried to get a boy or two. All in all it was a
'Mirror time' as the Elder scouts called it when seeing double of all the
Younger Scouts.
Sailor Chibi Moon had to go home the Night after the battle with the
Doom Phantom, which brought tears to Serena's eyes, "Renee, I saw you here,
and you have to go so soon?"
Renee smiled, "Don't worry about it Meatball Head, you'll see me
again. "
Serena was not satisfied, "Ya sure, in about, what, a thousand
years, my years." This got a giggle out of Renee, which puzzled Serena.
Renee took out her time key, "MOON CRYSTAL KEY. TAKE ME BACK TO THE
FUTURE." A pink cloud appeared above Renee and she was lifted into it,
before it disappeared. That was 3 days ago.
Now it was time for the Sailor Scouts turn to go home. Each Scout
went up to their respective mothers of the Silver Millennium and said their
good byes. Serena, took her good-bye with Queen Serenity the hardest.
Queen Serenity tried to console her, but failed miserable. "" Serena thought.
Sailor Pluto made her entrance at this point by materializing into
the Throne Room, "It's time."
The Sailor Scouts gathers up as Sailor Pluto opened the gate of time
and the Sailor Scouts and Sailor Pluto walked through. Everyone watched
them leave until the gate closed, and then vanished.
The Time Stream
On the way back to the 20th century, Serena asked, "Pluto, how long
were we gone from our time?"
Pluto kept her neutral expression, "To all your parents and friends,
you were gone for a week and a half."
Serena groaned, "Oh, great. I got a week's worth of school work to
catch up with." This got some snickers from the others.
20th Century
The Sailor Scouts materialized in the park at the pear Renee left
the 20th Century from. After everyone gathered all their belongings, they
all went home to their families. Since the Sailor Scouts' parents didn't
know their secret identities, except for Serena's parents, they found it a
little difficult explaining where they have been for about four days, except
Liat, how had no parents, since that's how long they were at the Silver
Millennium in Amy's, Ray's, Lita's, and Mina's case, but they managed to
give them stories that the parents believed.
At the Tsukino home, Serena walked in the door with her belongings
shouting, "Mom, Dad, Sammy, I'm home."
Serena's family came out of the living room from watching TV and
welcomed her home in a bear hug from each, even Sammy.
Ellen Tsukino was the first to speak, "Serena, are you all right?
When that Sailor Pluto lady came and told us where, or rather when, you
were, we got very worried something might happen."
Serena put her Mom's worries to rest, "Relax Mom, I'm fine. I know
you all get worried when ever I go to a fight, but trust me. I and the rest
of the scouts are professionals at this."
With that, Serena took her stuff to her room, where she was greeted
by Luna, "So, did you have a good time there when you didn't fight?"
Serena smiled and petted Luna on the head, "Ya, it was enjoying. I
just wish I could have spent more time with Queen Serenity. By the way, do
you remember where you were during all that?"
Luna tried to search her memory, "I believe Artemis and I were on a
diplomatic mission to the Polaris System, during your visit there. We were
only gone a month."
Just then Serena's Mom called down, "Serena, Luna, Time to eat."
They both ran downstairs to eat.
BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!! Was the sound
of Serena's alarm clock the next morning, followed almost immediately,
"WAAAAAAA!!!!! I'M SOOOOO LATE. WHY DIDN'T SOMEBODY WAKE ME UP???"
You guessed it, Serena was late for school again. She through her covers,
and Luna with them, dashed to the Bathroom, had a shower, brushed her teeth,
got into school uniform, grabbed her lunch, and school bag, and was out the
door in 5 minutes. Serena managed to catch up with most of her work, thanks
to a little help from Amy by communicator. As Serena was halfway to school,
she cached up with Molly, "Hi, Molly!!"
Molly was a little startled at first, "Serena? Where have you been
for the past week?"
How Serena can run and talk, without running out of air, I have no
idea, "Sorry Mol, I was away on a family emergency. (Well, if you call
traveling into the past to your Mother's place an emergency)"
"Did you get caught up with your school work," Molly asked.
Serena cringed, "I got home last night and managed to get most of it
done." Just then the bell at the school rang, "Detention again." But, as
luck would have it, again, Ms. Haruna had a date, and just told Serena to
sit down after she turned in her make up work.
After school, Serena ran to the arcade and played the latest Sailor
V game. She gave Andrew the same excuse as she gave to Molly as to where
she was. Just then Darien walked in and Serena ran to him and gave him a
big hug before he knew she was there, "Hi, Muffin!!!!"
Darien was a little stunned, "Serena? When did you get back?"
Serena smiled and answered, "Dinner time last night. I couldn't
talk to you, because I had to get caught up in school work for while I was
gone. You want to go to the park? I'll tell ya all about it." Darien and
Serena left hand in hand, with smiles on both their faces. Serena knew that
Darien was in for some surprises. When they got to the park Serena told
Darien about her entire visit to the Silver Millennium, witch took most of
the rest of the day.
