Detsiny Series by -Angel- ActinAngel@aol.com Epilogue "Wedding Bells" Serena ran around frantically. "Oh, where's my veil?! I left it right here! Oh, I just knew I was going to lose something! Where is it?!" she cried and tripped over one of Raye's shoes. She wailed loudly. "I'm never gonna get married!" Amy glanced over to Lita. She sighed and went over to help Serena up. "C'mon, Serena. Calm down." Raye walked in. "What's all the noise about?" "Serena can't find her veil." Amy explained and truned back to the mirror. Raye sighed in exasperation and went over to the couch. There, she picked up the long white veil. "Geez, meatball-head, can't you find anything? I see being crowned hasn't changed your personality one bit." she asked and gave her her veil. Serena stuck her tongue out at Raye and carefully pinned her veil on. Her long blond hair was in her normal style but two pearls surrounded it. Amy made last minute adjustments on her dress. It was a long, simple gown, but suited Amy nicely. Made a pure white silk, it brought out her eyes. She carefully put her veil on. "How do I look?" she asked and turned to the girls. Serena smiled. "Beautiful, Amy. Like a queen of Mercury." Amy blushed. "Thank you." Lita winked and turned in her bridal gown. "I hope Andrew likes it. Although, I sure hate wearing such a long gown. I wish I had picked the bridal suit instead." Mina walked in and gasped when she saw Lita. "Oh, Lita, you look wonderful! Now aren't you glad you didn't pick that horrid suit?" The scouts burst out laughing. Mina shrugged and wennt over to the mirror. She put on her earrings and turned to Serena. "I'm so glad we decided to get married on the same day." "Why? Couldn't wait for Melvin one more day?" Serena teased her. Mina blushed and shook her head. "Well, you should talk Serena. You're the one who proposed that we all get married on the same day." Raye said, and made the final touches on her lacy bridal gown. "It was better than choosing one of you to my maid of honor. That's what gave me the idea." Serena said and smiled. The scouts looked at each other. They had now grown up, although only a short time ago, they were still 14-year-olds fighting the scouts. Yet, a week ago, they had defeated Tanya and awaken Earth. Now they were having a huge planetary wedding on Earth and everyone they had ever known was coming. "Well, I'm just glad I'm sharing my wedding with you guys. I'd never want it any other way." Amy said warmly. Mina sighed in happiness. "We're finally getting married. We're all fulfilling our destinies." she took Amy's hand and Lita's hand. All the scouts got in a circle, and joined hands. "Yeah. Although the fights aren't over. The Imperium of Darkness still exists." Lita reminded the scouts. Serena nodded seriously. "We have to be on our guard." There was knock on the door. "Come in!" Mina called out. The door opened and there stood Queen Serenity. She looked so different without her crown. She looked...like a human being. "Mother!" Serena called out and ran to hug her. Serenity smiled. "Hello, my dears." she said. "We're ready." The other scouts nodded. Serena let her mother go, and closed the door. "Well, this is it." she said, with a hint of sadness. "Yeah...it's going to be so wierd not seeing you guys everyday. I'll miss you." Lita said softly. Each girl nodded. They all had to leave for their planet after the wedding to perform their duties. "But we'll still see each other. And you guys are always welcome in our home." Serena said. The scouts smiled and nodded. Yes, they would be back. "You know, things won't be the same anymore." Raye said. "No, they'll be better." Amy said, smiling. The scouts went to one another and hugged. They promised to visit. As Serena hugged Raye, she whispered in her ear, "This maid-of-honor would've been you." Raye gave a start of surprise, but no one else noticed. "Why?" "Because you began this whole adventure." Serena said and hugged her tightly. The scouts parted. Serena stood at the door and opened it. A tear trickled down her cheek as she turned to her friends. As she looked at each one, she remembered all the good times they had, how destiny had brought them together. "I love you all." she said, and they walked out the door. The music began playing a soft wedding march and Serena led the way down the long aisle. They were in the largest room of the palace, the ballroom. There were people everywhere, on the floor, in the balconies, looking in windows, lounging in doors, all of them smiling. Serena saw each keeper of the stones bow to her, the royal families of each planet smile, and her eyes glistened as she saw Molly and Nephrite holding each other and waving. She reached the end of the aisle and her eyes fell on her family; Serenity, Mom, Dad, and Sammy. All of them had a proud look on their face. Fianlly Serena's eyes went to Darien. He was dressed in his royal robes and his expression showed ultimate devotion. She gladly walked up to him and took his arm. The scouts following her did the same with their husbands-to-be. Serenity went to the front of the room and began speaking the vows. The scouts and their spouses said what was needed to be said. Fianlly, Serenity looked down at her daughter with love and said, "You may each kiss the bride." Darien took Serena and kissed her softly. The crescent moon on her forehead glowed brightly, as did Darien's Earth symbol. The same happened with Amy, Mina, Lita, and Raye. Then, they turned to the cheering crowd. Serenity placed the crown on Serena's head and everyone in the room excpet Darien bowed to her. She nodded and they rose up. Then she took each crown and crowned the scouts. The crowd bowed down to the crowned queens of the inner planets. Then, each queen crowned her new husband and the crowd payed homage to the kings. Serena smiled at Darien, and he led her down the aisle. As she passed, each person bowed down. She turned and looked at her friends. They looked so happy. They had finally made it. "You know what Darien?" she said as she looked to her husband. "Destiny can be so sweet." Darien smiled and responded by kissing her softly. Author's Note: Well, that concludes this series. I've entitled it the "Destiny Series" for future reference. I'd like to thank the publishers, my best friend Lucy, and everyone who took the time to write me and tell me how much they enjoyed it. I'd also like to say thank Naoko Takeuchi for creating such marvelous characters, DiC for putting them in English, and Cartoon Network for showing them to me. Without these people, I never would have had my muse to create such a great story. I'm working on a sequel, so keep watching. I thank all of you readers, because without you, there's no point to my story (Corny, I know, but true). I'll shut up (for now) and let you enjoy the afterglow of my wonderful story (ok, little over the top there). Keep reading....Sailor Moon Says! -Angel
