			* Crystal Tokyo: Four Months Later *

	A cool breeze swept over the Royal Cemetary as the sun shined. Seishi had been
placed in a grand stone tomb made of the finest marble. She was not buried, instead 
kept in a great glass coffin, the power of the Silver Crystal keeping her from 
turning to dust. It were as if she were only sleeping. Neo-Queen Serenity was unable 
to help bring Seishi back to life, her soul had left the corporeal world.
	Morino Ryuu fell to his knees before the tomb and bowed his head, sorrow
continued to fill his heart. Everyday it only grew stronger, even if it had been
four months since her death.
	"I never got to tell her, 'I love you,' Kasumi. She never knew...never."
he whispered, not looking up. He could see her shadow, she was standing behind him.
	"I'm sure she knew, Ryuu. I knew..." she murmured, "Everyone knew."
	Kasumi was in a daze, she did not mean to be disrespectful, but she had been
haunted of dreams of Seishi. Seishi who told she was special and carried her gift.
It was only recently that Kasumi had discovered she was pregnant. She didn't want to
tell anyone. She was still a virgin, it was impossible...but no one would believe that.
	"Kasumi-san...Ryuu-kun, there is someone Her Highness would like to you meet."
said another voice, it was a maid. Ryuu stood up and Kasumi followed, they both 
walked towards the Crystal Palace.	
	Neo-Queen Serenity, Neo-Princess Serenity, and a black haired woman were standing
on the lawn. They turned around.
	"Seishi..." Ryuu whispered as he felt his knees go weak, the beautiful black
haired, violet eyed girl looked at him curiously.
	"Who is this?" she asked Neo-Queen Serenity, "Usagi, who is this?"
	"Hotaru-chan, this is Morino Ryuu...he and your future daughter were best friends."
Neo-Queen Serenity replied.
	"Hotaru-mama...?" Ryuu gasped, he stared harder...it looked like her. 
"What are you doing here? In the future?"
	"I was called by Chibiusa-chan." Hotaru smiled,
	"Usa-chan, or Neo-Princess Serenity." corrected the Princess with a grin, she
turned to Ryuu, "Hotaru-chan wants me to help her fight the battle in the past with
the original Sailor Senshi against Queen Selestia." 
	"Solana's mother..." Kasumi whispered.
	"Hai! But I know who wins, so it's okay!" the Princess smiled. Ryuu smiled
weakly, but it was impossible for him to be happy. He had lost everything dear to him.
	"Ryuu-kun, what's wrong?" Hotaru asked worriedly,
	"Hotaru-san...I...I never got to tell Seishi I loved her before she died..."
	"Seishi? Who's that?"
	Ryuu hung his head, what's the point, he thought to himself. Why did I tell
Seishi's mother that she died...thank god she doesn't know.
	"Come on, Ryuu, I'll walk you home." Kasumi suggested, smiling slightly at 
Hotaru and the royal family. The two turned and walked towards the garden gates, the
voices of the trio floating through the air...
	"So Chib--I mean, Usa-chan, do you have a boyfriend yet?"
	"I do! His name is Trent and he's blonde and tall and good looking!"
	"No waaayy! You're lying! Let me see!"
	"He's not here right now. He's taking the Star Senshi back home."
	"The who?"
	"Nevermind...let's go inside, it's hot."
	"Ne...Usa-chan, I don't like being younger than you...do you think Usagi
can age me to about your age too?"
	"Of course I can, Hotaru-chan."
	Hotaru stopped short watching Chibiusa and Usagi chatting happily as they
walked towards the Palace, she turned her head over to Kasumi and Ryuu who were
now tiny specks on the hill.
	"Ryuu-kun..." she murmured, "Seishi didn't die not knowing your true feelings.
Every day of her life, I'll tell her that you love her. So, Ryuu-kun, don't worry...
Seishi always knew."

		
			* Near the end of the Crystal Millennium *

Dear Diary,
	This is the last entry I'll be writing. This was given to me by my mother
over three hundred years ago and it no longer serves me a purpose. I used it to
express emotions which I couldn't share with others. It's different now. I have
Kasumi to tell how I'm feeling--and she understands everything. She's so loving
of me and caring, I never thought I'd care so deeply for anyone as I had about
Seishi, but I suppose I was wrong.
	I've been married to Kasu-chan for about three hundred years and we've
had three daughters...but my first daughter isn't mine...it isn't anyone's.
I'm not going to go into it because it's too strange to even explain. She
was pregnant while still a virgin--she eventually gave birth to a daughter
she named Tomoe. We got married shortly after that. Tomoe is very quiet and
gentle, she's very delicate looking. I'm not sure were she inherited her looks,
she has black hair and violet eyes. She looks like...like Seishi, but that's
impossible. If I told Kasu-chan what I thought about how Tomoe looked, she'd
think I was crazy. 
	Anyways, after Tomoe came Kasu-chan's precious Aya-chan and my darling
little Utako-chan. I think Aya's a genius, she definately inherited the 
brains from Kasu-chan's family. Naturally, she looks like all of them--but she
doesn't act like Kasu-chan, she's much more withdrawn and quiet. Utako somehow
got green hair, but she does have my eyes. She's athletic and rather loud. I'm
teaching her how to fence, some day I'm sure she'll be an excellent swordmistress.
	The Neo Senshi have disbanded, there was no use for us really after 
Princess Serenity came back from the past to fight in a war there. I believe that
everyone found the happy ending that they wanted...well, except for Himeko and
Megami. 
	Princess Serenity's day for ascension seems to be drawing closer,
Neo-Queen Serenity is dreadfully ill. It's as if she's allowed the Silver Crystal's
power to leave her. I believe it has something to do with the death of 
King Endymion. Princess Serenity and Prince Trent will make a beautiful pair of
rulers. They had such a beautiful courting and a beautiful wedding. I was actually
rather shocked that Prince Trent fell in love with her after he had searched for
Princess Solana for a millennia--but I suppose he was disillusioned when she turned
to such evil. I remember that he asked her to marry him when she turned eighteen,
they got married shortly after in the gardens of the Crystal Palace. Neo-Queen
Serenity acted as the priest, she wore such a beautiful dress that Setsuna-san
designed for her. 
	Kasu-chan and my wedding was less extravagant...we did it on top of 
Fuji-san [Mt. Fuji] in the sacred forest at dawn. It was beautiful, there was
a slight mist hanging amongst the trees. Kasu-chan had never looked happier in
her life.
	So, I guess despite all the heart ache I had in my earlier life...I'm
doing better. I don't know if my life would be better if I had married Sei-chan,
but I'm not sure I'd trade it to find out. I don't think I'll ever love Kasu-chan
as much as I loved Sei-chan, but as it is, I'd already gladly die for her. Life is
perfect and great so it seems, but I'll always remember a promise made to us so
many years ago: With peacefulness comes our destruction.
	But I'll try not to dwell upon it. Who really knows what the future holds?

			* The Neo Millennium *

	"Just one more push, your majesty." urged the royal doctor. Neo-Queen
Selenity cried out in pain, her red eyes squeezed shut.
	"I can't...I can't..." she wailed, King Trent leaned downwards and
kissed his Queen gently on the forehead, he brushed the strands of pink hair
out of her face.
	"Just ONE more." the royal doctor said. With all her strength, Selenity
bore down...then it was done. She could hear the healthy screams of a newborn
baby child.
	"Usa-chan...it's so beautiful..." Prince Trent murmured, his eyes filling
with tears of love.
	"It's a girl!" the royal doctor announced. After a few moments he put the
child in the Queen's arms--she burst into tears.
	"Oh, my precious little Shizuki-chan..." she murmured. Trent and the 
doctor, seeing that Selenity wanted to be alone left the room silently. 
Selenity watched the two leave, then stared down at her baby, 	
	"Shizuki, my darling child, I pray that you shall grow up with everything
you ever needed. You saved my life...you saved all our lives. Someday you will be
the Messiah I was unable to truly be." she whispered, the newborn child opened
it's eyes and stared at it's mother. It didn't comprehend what she was saying.
	"Princess Serenity...Shizuki, thank you. I want to tell you this now
because I won't always be here for you. Please know that I love you and will
always love you with all of my heart and soul."
	"I wish I could tell this to you someday, but I dare not reveal the
future which I already know...I won't be here for you. Please be strong, my
darling child...be a good leader. Let the Silver Millennium rule forever,
I wish I could see you grow up...but I can't."
	There was a knock on the door, it was the nurse who was going to
take the child to the nursery to be checked and weighed. The Queen was 
overcome with exhaustion. She hardly noticed the nurse gently take Shizuki
away. She uttered a few words before she fell into a peaceful sleep,
	"There's nothing I can do..I love you, Shizuki.."
	The Queen's tragic end was unchangeable. 
	Her fate was set--Eternally.

			* After Sailormoon Neo... *

Neo Sailormars/Hisakino Karei:
...Karei made it big as a j-pop singer in Japan with her debute song "Aozora no
Knife." With the success of her following albums: "Fyre" and "Requiem to the Golden
Queen" she moved on to try her hand at the American market. 
Karei fell in love and married her producer, Tamashiino Hiro, but decided
to follow her mother and not take his last name. While in America, Karei
had a daughter she named Hitomi. With America as her homeland, Tamashiino
Hitomi grew up to be as strongwilled and independent as her mother or 
even grandmother ever was.

Neo Sailormercury/Umino Kasumi & Jupiter Kamen/Morino Ryuu:
...Kasumi found that she was pregnant soon after Seishi's death. The miracle
of a virgin being pregnant spread around the world, causing Kasumi to
hide away from all the attention she was recieving. 
Ryuu eventually fell in love with Kasumi and they got married soon after 
Kasumi's daughter, Tomoe, was born. After Tomoe's birth, Kasumi came out of 
her hiding and found the world had gotten bored with the mysterious virgin 
and went to college to be an astrophysist. In the following years, Kasumi 
gave birth to two daughters of Ryuu, Aya and Utako. 

Neo Sailorvenus/Hateshinai Aiko:
...Aiko finally learned to love herself fully after her subconscious spoke to
her. She returned from the battle against Queen Solana as a changed person.
She helped to keep Shin Mugen Gakuen from closing and eventually ended up
being a teacher, then the principal of the Academy. She was a beloved teacher 
by all the students and a beloved wife to another teacher, Seijitsu Jiro.
Many years after, Aiko gave birth to a daughter which she named in honor
of her mother who had died many years earlier, Minako.

Neo Sailorneptune/Umino Megami:
...Megami began acting strangely soon after the return to Crystal Tokyo.
She stopped caring about her looks and sat days on end staring at 
a spot on the wall in her house. She began to speak of incredibly dark things
and for awhile, it was thought that she had been possessed, but that was not the
case. She refused to look at anything remotely beautiful and chose to see only
ugliness and darkness. Finally, after an attempt to kill her mother, she was committed
to the best insane asylum in Japan.

Neo Sailoruranus/Sorano Himeko:
...Himeko strangely lost her ability to become Sailoruranus. In fact, 
the entire situation was stricken from her memory. She
lost her memory of Megami, Karei, Ryuu...and even Yoake and Aiko. Shortly
afterward, her parents decided it was time to move from Tokyo. The family
moved to Sapporo in Hokkaido. She went on to college, her singing career never 
taking off, although her rival at the time was Hisakino Karei.
Himeko met and married Fuuno Akio. Himeko never had children, but often had 
dreams of two twins which haunted her for the rest of her life. Himeko never
had contact with the former Neo Sailor Senshi again.

Neo Sailorpluto/Tokino Yoake:
...Yoake promptly thanked her mother for giving her the
opportunity to be a Neo Sailor Senshi. Yoake used her new found responsibility
and took part in various youth organizations. Despite the odds, Yoake was
accepted into Tokyo University were she studied international relations and
went to school in Oxford and Harvard for a few semesters. Yoake took an active
role in government work in Japan and married an American businessman named
Alexander Hades. Yoake gave birth to a son named Aaron and a daughter named
Chiharu.

Sailorstar/Princess Stella:
...Princess Stella's body was brought back by the power of Neo-Queen Serenity. 
After rehabilitation, she and the Star Senshi returned to Star with a small
group of willing colonists to rebuild their desolate planet. She made a promise
to Princess Serenity that she would return occasionally. 
Shortly after Princess Stella's return to Star she began to age, finally leaving
the young body she had been trapped in for so many millennia.

Neo Sailormoon/Princess Usagi Lady Serenity/Neo-Queen Selenity:
...Princess Serenity ascended the throne after her mother died, 
moving the entire world from the Crystal Millennium to the Neo Millennium. 
Serenity married Prince Trent after a long courtship where he gained the
trust of Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion.
Shortly after they were married, Serenity gave birth to a daughter which
she named Shizuki. A time of peace followed in the first hundred years of
Serenity's rule and soon people began to call it the Neo Silver Millennium.
Queen Serenity financed a restoration of the Moon Kingdom and soon the
capital was moved from Crystal Tokyo back to the Moon Kingom...and everywhere
there was peace.
