Sailor Moon Z: Epilogue - Bridge to Crystal Tokyo By. Janelle Jimenez (pandora@indy.net) Official WebPage: http://www.indy.net/~pandora/sailormoon/zodiac/intro3.html * Silver Millenium * "One more push, your majesty, that's all.." a voice pleaded. Queen Serenity closed her eyes and pushed with all the energy she had left. She felt something release...and moments later an unhappy wail. "It's a girl!" the doctor exclaimed happily. Queen Serenity smiled, she knew it all along. After a few moments, the baby was placed in her arms after being cleaned. The baby's blue eyes looked around curiously, a tiny hand reaching to grab Queen Serenity's silver hair. "She's as beautiful as you are, Serenity.." said Queen Serenity's husband as he kissed his wife on her forehead. "More so.." Serenity whispered. As she looked down on the tiny face, she realized all the pain was worth it. "Hello, little Princess Serenity.." Queen Serenity murmured as she kissed the baby's forehead right where a tiny crescent moon was. The baby blinked its eyes and opened its mouth slightly. "She's going to be a talkative one, you know what they say." the doctor grinned. "And, one day, when she grows up, she's going to rule the Solar System..just like her mommy.." said her husband. "More so, Princess Serenity will one day rule the Universe, and grow up the be the mother to a very beautiful daughter one day also.." she replied. "Honey, let's just think about potty-training her for now.." her husband smiled. Serenity smiled back, the men laughed and shook their heads. "Well, your Majesty, you and I should leave your wife alone with ChibiSerenity and let them rest, and you should start planning a ball to welcome her to the world." the doctor said patting the King on the back. When they left the room, Serenity looked back down at the child, "You'll be more than I was, Usagi, you'll have a mother who loves you with all her heart, an adoring husband like mine, and you will be the Queen of the World. I wish I could see all these things happen to you, but I know I won't." she whispered to the child, "I want to say this, because by the time it happens, I won't be there. I won't be on Earth to watch you fight great battles, I won't be in the Golden Millenium to watch you destroy an evil mother. I will be there, but not as I am now. In fact, I only get to see you live fourteen years of your life." "Serenity..Usagi...Sailor Moon, thank you...and I loved you with all of my heart and soul." * Present Day Tokyo * Usagi walked down the aisle, she had never looked more beautiful in her entire life. The dress she wore was styled to look like the Princess gown she wore in the Silver Millenium and her future dress in Crystal Tokyo, it was a bridge from the past and future. Her tear-filled blue eyes looked out of the misty veil, she saw her bridesmaids Ami, Rei, Makoto, and Minako all standing there waiting for her at the alter. Behind her was Michiru, Haruka, Setsuna, and Hotaru. Before her throwing petals was a young Chibiusa, taken from the future for this special occasion. Shingo was the ring bearer, and to her left was her father. True, the format was not traditional..but everything was exactly how it should be. She gazed up through the veil again and saw Mamoru, the one she had loved for almost five years of her life, the one she had loved eternally..in another life. "We are gathered here today..." the minister began as Usagi reached the alter and knelt down by Mamoru. Usagi's mind wandered, five years ago she was a crybaby clutz who knew nothing of love, even if she always dreamed of having the very faerie tale wedding she has right in the middle of. That was when she had just became Sailor Moon, she had met four very best friends from being a Sailor Senshi, even if she had drifted away from her non-Senshi friend, Naru, who was now her Matron of Honor. "Do you Usagi Tsukino, take this man, to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and cherish, through sickness and in health, till death do you part?" the minister asked, Usagi smiled at the last words. Even death didn't part them before, and death would never part them ever again. "I do.." she whispered. In the background she could hear Minako bawling along with Artemis. "And do you, Mamoru Chiba, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and cherish, through sickness and in health, till death do you part?" the minister asked, Mamoru looked deep into Usagi's eyes, "I do." he replied. "In the name of the Moon, I pronounce you man and wife.." the minister smiled. Usagi looked up at Queen Serenity, the minister, her own mother from the Moon Kingdom who had travelled in the future to say the wedding of her daughter. Queen Serenity DID she her daughter grow up, she was there for the most special occasion in a girl's life. "You, may kiss the bride.." Queen Serenity added. Mamoru smiled and lifted the veil off Usagi's head and bent down and gave her a gentle kiss. A light breeze picked up, cherry blossoms blew around them. They turned and walked down the aisle, Usagi stopped and turned to Rei, "I hope it wasn't too much trouble to have our wedding at your temple, Rei-chan.." Usagi whispered, Rei squeezed Usagi's hand. Rei smiled, with tears in her eyes she replied, "Of course not Usagi-chan. It's an honor...It has always been an honor to do anything for you." Usagi smiled. She was nineteen now, an adult. It had been over a year since she was last Sailor Moon...and she knew deep down she would never be Sailor Moon again, never have to be Sailor Moon. She could finally do what she always wanted to do, live a normal life. * Crystal Tokyo * Ami Mizuno: Ami went on to become an a world known Scientist who discovered the cures for the world's most deadly diseases. She met her husband, Dr. Mitsuru Umino, when they were partnered up as being the two best scientists in the world for a special project which saved millions of lives. (No, this Umino is not related to the other Umino.) Later they got married and had two daughters, the oldest Megami and the youngest Kasumi. Rei Hino: Rei never became a Shinto Priestess as she had wanted, instead a modeling agency decided she would be perfect for their new image of goodness and wholesomeness. She then launched her singing career, and a year later was the star seiyuu for a popular anime series based on the super heroines the Sailor Senshi called, 'The Star Team.' (Ironically, instead of being the voice of Star Mars, she was Star Moon.) Rei married the actor Genjuurou Hisakino and had five children, Karei, Nijiro, Megumi, Seijuuro, and Genjuuro.

She met Masato Morino, a popular health food entrepanuer and they soon got married, they then had a son named Ryuu and a daughter name Yoseiko. Minako Aino: Minako auditioned to be a seiyuu in 'The Star Team', however she was told her voice wasn't what they were looking for.

Unfortunatly, he died in a plane crash on his way back home from America. Minako gave birth to a daughter two months later whom she named Aiko. Michiru Kaiou: Michiru went on to be a world famous violinist playing in various symphonies all over the world. She and Haruka became travelling companions.

Setsuna Meiou: Setsuna's dream of being a doctor went unfulfilled, but due to her keen fashion sense, she went on to become a fashion designer.

Setsuna met Yokinori Tokino at a charity banquet and shortly after marriage she gave birth to a daughter whom she named Yoake.
