Moon's Light

Surrounded by blackness, a soft yet bright light shone. Where the light touched the darkness, it was a dark, rosy pink, but at its center it was pure white. Floating in its center was an odd shaped creature. Two little girls, one who looked to be a young teenager and the other who looked to be a very young child, appeared to be merged together from the stomach down. The older looking girl had her arms wrapped gently around the upper torso of the younger looking girl, who in turn rested her face on the other's breasts. The girls had similar hairstyles, although the bigger girl's buns were more pointed than the littler one's.

The light flared as the smaller girl scrunched up her face and began to pull away from the bigger girl.

The bright morning sun shone through the stained glass window of a small chapel and illuminated the King of the Earth and his new bride as they shared a kiss. Together, they reveled in the peace and happiness. In the six months since Eternal Sailor Moon had defeated Galaxia and Chaos, life had seemed almost perfect.

Suddenly, a light began to glow in Usagi's chest. "Oh..." she exclaimed in surprise as she drew back from her husband.

"What?" Mamoru asked looking a little concerned.

"I felt something now," she replied. "That a star was being born inside of me. That soon, our daughter... a new sailor senshi will be born." The two lovers exchanged a happy excited smile.

"Hey, Usagi-chan!" Minako called as she waved wildly. "Over here!" Usagi smiled and waved back. Quickly, she wove her way across the crowded courtyard and joined her blonde friend under a tree. "So, what's for lunch today?" Minako asked curiously as Usagi opened her bento.

"Today, we have rice balls, fried shrimp, radishes, celery, and cucumbers," she replied with a smile as she set her lid aside.

"Eh? Did you really make that by yourself?" Makoto asked as she and Ami came up and looked over her shoulder. "Wow, you even carved the radishes!" she said sounding impressed. Usagi grinned as she held one up for inspection.

"C'mon, give Usagi-chan. There's no way you learned how to do this in three months. Mamoru-san made all of this, didn't he," Minako said as she eyed the radish suspiciously.

Usagi gave her a hurt look as Makoto and Ami sat down, and then giggled. "No, really! I did this! I've been practicing!" she said proudly. Suddenly, she gasped and pressed a hand to her chest.

"Usgai-chan?" her friends cried anxiously as she rubbed the spot over her heart with a pained expression on her face.

She gave them a shaky smile. "It's okay. Really. It just burns a little."

"What does?" Ami asked, reaching for her computer and opening it to run a quick scan.

Usagi shook her head, reached over, and shut the computer. Ami looked up at her in surprise. "It's all right, Ami-chan, really. It's just my daughter."

"What?" her friends exclaimed loudly looking shocked. Minako's and Makoto's faces lit up, while Ami looked a little confused. "You're pregnant!" Makoto cried a little more softly, mindful of the other high school students around them.

Usagi's face dimmed a little, and she began to look uncertain. "Well, the test has come back negative, but..." She rubbed her chest again.

"Oh, the heck with the test. You would know, right?" Minako said with a bright smile as she tossed her golden head. "We need to start planning a baby shower!"
