Epilogue: Normalcy

"Hey! Over here!" Rei yelled. She was sitting with Darien, Ami, Mina, and Lita when she spotted their favorite Kyoto scouts. Well, the only Kyoto scouts.

"Hey!" Jasmine yelled back. She grabbed Rolan's hand and rushed over to them.

They were having their bi-yearly reunion, this time it was a picnic at the park. They all settled down on the blankets laid out on the floor. Their lives now were fairly normal, no big battles since the one with the Elderans'.

Miko looked around, "This place has changed, especially the archway into the park."

"It's all being redone. They brought in a popular architect from America to redo it. Now he's redoing the center over there," Darien said nodding to the center where they keep the indoor plants.

"Wow," he must be awfully popular to be noticed all the way in Japan," Lia said.

Callisto looked around the area as well. "Did he do the landscaping as well, it's beautiful," she asked.

"Yes, his company did it," Darien replied. Callisto nodded and looked out at the archway. She smiled when she saw Trista and Gamma walking toward them. They soon arrived at the group and sat down greeting them.

"So when is the big day?" Callisto said motioning to Trista's engagement ring.

"We haven't set one yet. When we do you know you all will be the first to know," Trista said.

"I think it's great," Riden said.

Everyone congratulated the happy couple. They all sat in silence for a while.

"Every time we get together there's always something missing," Lita said.

"You mean some people missing," Rei said. They all looked down sadly.

"I am tired of not talking about them. It's been five years. Is this any way to honor their memory?" Trista asked.

"You are right, I know there out there somewhere watching us," Darien said.

"Yea," Jasmine said with a smile. They all began talking about their two dearly departed friends. They were interrupted by two people two people's voices talking. They are looking at the center. One is in a gardening ensemble the other in dress pants and a dress shirt. His jacket long discarded.

The man in the garden outfit spotted Darien and motioned for him and the others to walk over. They get up and walk over to them. The man in the dress clothes didn't turn around, he was studying the building before him.

"Darien, everyone, I would like you to meet the architect for the center and the owner of the landscaping company that redid the park. This is Sean Jewel." The man turned around and nodded. He extended his hand toward Darien.

"Pleasure to meet you," he said.

Everyone was shocked at seeing the familiar face. The oddest thing was he looked to be much older than the Sapphire they knew. He looked to be in his mid thirties not the age they knew he should be. Darien steeled his shock and shook his hand. The gardener smiled and then heard someone yell his name. He turned to see all of his children yelling for him.

"Excuse me Mr. Jewel," he said.

"Of course," he replied. The gardener walked away.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all," Sean said to them.

"You as well," Darien said to the older man. He had to admit, he was a bit intimidated at the older man that shouldn't have been older.

"You did a wonderful job with the park," Trista said. She was the first of the scouts who spoke to him.

"Thank you, I am happy to hear that," he replied. Then a small and very cute voice shouted. He turned and everyone saw a small little girl around four years old, running toward him. She had black hair and blue eyes. It was curly and done up in pigtails. When she arrived at him he bent and scooped her up.

"This is my daughter Lily," he introduced her. The others couldn't help but smile at the cute little girl. He looked at the little girl and said, "Where is your mother? You know you shouldn't run away from her."

"She was right behind me!" the little girl protested.

"Here I am," a feminine voice said. They all looked up in shock as a woman in her mid thirties as well approached them. She had long, beautiful silver hair in meatball pig tails. She was wearing a sundress and carrying her sunhat. She stood beside Sean and patted the little girl on the head. "This little squirt here is quick." The little girl giggled. Sean turned to the group.

"This is my wife Serenity Jewel."

"Pleasure," she said.

The group was in even more shock over who they were seeing, but then happily greeted her. It was then that Ami ran to grab her bag and retrieved a book from it. She walked over to Serenity.

"You are THE Serenity Jewel? The author of Starlight Sonata?"

"Yes I am," she replied. This shocked the group even more. She wrote one of the best selling books ever!

Ami felt rather silly but just couldn't resist. She asked for her autograph which Serenity gladly sighed. She then closed the book and handed it back to Ami.

"We should get going, we have a plane to England to catch," Sean said.

"Yes," she agreed. She then said to the others, "It was very nice meeting you," she said. She extended her hand to Darien who shock it.

"Yes you too," Darien said. The other reiterated his sentiments.

Sean and Serenity walked away from the group. Everyone then went back to their blankets and sat down.

"They are alive," Jasmine said.

"Yes, but they didn't remember us," Lita stated sadly.

Ami had opened her book and everyone turned to her as she gasped and tears ran down her cheeks. "I wouldn't be so sure," she said.

"Why do you say that Ami?" Rei asked. Ami handed her the book. Rei then had tears in her eyes. She read what Serenity had written.


To Ami,

Make sure everyone takes care of themselves and helps Jasmine as she will need it. Help her the way you did me. You will know what I mean in a few weeks.

Love you all,

Serenity Jewel

"Serena"


Everyone was silent for a moment before Mina said happily,

"She remembers us! I bet Sapphire does too!"

"What did she mean by help me though?" Jasmine said. Everyone went into thought at what they could have meant.

"We should go after them!" Rei exclaimed.

"No," Darien said. Everyone looked at him.

"Think about it," he began, " All the time she was a scout she only wanted a normal life. Now she has it and is happy. She deserves that," he said.

They all look the great distance across the park to see the family get into a limo and leave.


A few weeks later. . .

Jasmine goes to her mailbox and found that she had received a small package. She took it inside and opened it to find the silver crystal. In shock she picked up the letter contained with it.

Jasmine,

Sapphire and I thought over who would be the best leader for the Sailor Scouts and decided that this crystal and the leadership should go to you. You have the spirit to be a better leader than I ever was or could be.

We can no longer use our power the way we used to, hence we are now living normal lives here in the US.

We both know you will take good care of it. Tell everyone hello for us.

Sincerely and warm regards,

Sapphire and Serena
