All of the Senshi were awake now. Michelle, Hotaru, and Mina were in wheelchairs because of their injuries. Mina, though not as scratched and bruised as everyone else, was in the worst condition. Hyphora’s blade had slit through her like nothing and punctured some major arteries. Luckily it hadn’t gone all the way through. She was recovering fine like the others. Neo-King Endymion was another story. He had lost his soul when he had helped Hyphora. His loving wife had used the silver crystal on him and had regained a large enough portion to awaken him. Now Serenity and Terrestria were talking with him, whilst everyone else stayed outside to wait. “ So your hair is going to stay that way sister?” Terrestria giggled somewhat. Her hair was still white, with those two chestnut strips framing her pretty face, and the random silver strands made it shiver as it did before. “ I’m afraid so, does it look that bad?” he cupped her face gently. “ No, your just as beautiful as ever little sister. Just like my darling Serena. Are you still mad at me love?” Serena smiled brightly. “ I can’t stay mad at you. Even after what you’ve done. Terri has explained Hyphora to me. She had amazing powers. I just wish you’d had told me of the dreams.” He looked away, ashamed at how stupid he was. Darien’s face calmed soon as he looked back at them. “ I don’t have many days left.” Serena shook her head. “ Don’t even say that. I’m sure the crystal can heal you.” “ Serena, you would die from the energy drain. And don’t say anything about the future. The one we’ve seen was fake.” Darien smiled and turned back to his sister. “ I’m sorry for hurting you Terri. She was so convincing and that’s no excuse. You’ve come so far with your training and now can control the power that was given to you. Terrestria, you have my blessing when you marry Rei. “ Terri’s eyes sparkled with tears as she hugged her brother. “ Thank you brother. I forgive you, and I’m sure that in time so will Rei and the others. “ I’m glad to hear that. Mind if I talk to my wife alone?” She nodded and quickly left. The others looked up as she came inside. “ What did he say Terri?” The now white haired goddess bent her head down and when it came back up everyone gasped to see the silent tears stream down her tan face. Terrestria rarely cried, and it was quite a shock and depressing sight. “ That he doesn’t have much time left. And I know he’s right. The body and mind cannot live with out the soul. I don’t know if we’re ever going to have a pink haired girl running around this palace.” Rei limped over to her dragon, enveloping the woman in a loving hug. “ It’ll be alright Dragon. Don’t worry.” *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*** Later that night all the Senshi remained at the Crystal Palace. Rei and Terri were sitting in their large bed reading a book. Well Terri was reading the book, enjoying the feel of her love wrapped in her arms. Rei had been quiet all night long as she read. The raven-haired beauty shifted a bit and looked up at her white haired girlfriend. “ So did you get that hair color from your mother?” Terri put the book on the nightstand and snuggled down a bit. “ Maybe, I have no idea what she looks like. When I had talked to her she had taken my form. Someday though, I’ll meet her.” They turned the light off and got comfortable. The rain adding a soft pitter-pat on the windows. “ Dragon…where did you meet Hyphora?” Rei felt her stiffen a bit but soon relaxed into Rei’s embrace. “ I was 1,013 years old at the time. Or um 14, it was a few months after you all had defeated Galaxia. I was in the middle of my training when an outer world was starting a war, defeating every planet they came across. The world was called Antof-Qoritan. Their leader had set it’s sites on us and attacked. I led my army through the war as effectively as possible. By the end of the war, I had killed their leader, and the only one left of the race was a pretty little girl my age. Hyphora wanted to reform and study the path of light. So I welcomed her to my kingdom. I trained her as I was and most of what I knew. Taref had warned me of the risks of having the enemy with us, but I didn’t care. She was a great friend and I loved her dearly as my sister. Hyphora had always felt the same, until somewhere down the line her feelings changed and her power switched to that of what she truly was. She was going to earth to kill you, just to stop me from loving you and meeting up with you again. By this time we were 17, and I was finished with my training. I had known nothing of my goddess form or Universal Destiny. I and when I became the goddess I am meant to be, I banished her. Thus loosing any memory of her or the battle. It wasn’t even her anymore. I miss her. Hyphora could have gone so far.” Terri buried her face in her taller girlfriend’s chest, falling asleep soon after. Rei remained awake for awhile longer, watching her. - Every one falls in love with her…minus the others. And she only loves me. - The Fire Queen smiled impishly and fell asleep. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*** A week later his Majesty King Endymion passed away. A beautiful service was held and he was buried on a hill where the sun always shined bright. Two weeks after that the Senshi were together for dinner in the Crystal Palace. They were chatting happily when a clinking sound interrupted. Everyone looked towards the cause. Queen Rei stood in up in a fine dark red tuxedo. “ Excuse the interruption, but I would like to do something before I lose my nerve. “ She walked a few steps over to her girlfriend. “ Queen Terrestria, if you would please stand.” The planet Queen did so as Rei produced a small box. Terri gasped as her love got down on bended knee. Rei opened the box. Inside was a delicate sliver ring, with smooth round diamond with a small ruby on the left side of it and a small black diamond stone on the right. “ So my dragon, we have your brother’s blessing. Will you be my wife?” Terri’s eyes glimmered with tears as she slipped the ring on the right finger and hugged Rei. “ Yes, I’d love to!” The other’s shouted for joy. Serena, Mina, and Lita had stars in their eyes. “ So romantic!” They cried out in unison. Serena stayed in place as the others hugged the two engaged women. - I’ll tell them tomorrow.- *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*** ~ Next Day ~ They were all at the park today, celebrating Rei and Terri’s engagement. Serena sat on the blanket waiting for the right time. - It’s just about time for lunch.- The blonde stood up, waving her arms. “ Guys, come eat! We’re hungry!” The girl’s came running. With Hotaru riding on Taref’s back. Lita was getting out the food when she had realized what her Serena had said. She looked at her Queen. “ Serena…you said ‘we’re hungry’.” The rest of the Senshi looked at the now blushing blonde. “ Well, I don’t wanna take Terri and Rei’s spotlight but…I’m pregnant with Rini.” Surprise and Happiness stuck to the Senshi’s faces. Terri was the first up and hugging the Queen. Loving the fact she had a niece to spoil. “ Oh Serena this is great! I’m getting married and your having a kid!” She pulled back. “ Oooo I feel sorry for the palace. If she’s anything like you…*laughter in background*” Michelle had stars in her eyes, a rare thing. “ Your baby shower is going to be so much fun!” *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*** A few days later they had a baby shower. Even if Serena wasn’t showing yet. Ami and Lita gave her baby books and recipe books. With a beautiful green and blue shelf to put them on. Amara & Michelle gave Serena a navy-blue, teal, and light pink diaper bag, including the diapers, bottles, some toys, and formula. Setsuna and Mina’s gift was clothes. Lots of baby clothes. Terri and Rei provided the pregnant Queen with a cradle of lavender, baby blue, and rose pink. With small rubies, diamonds, and amethysts embroidered in here and there. Plus some specially designed maternal clothes for when the Queen finally did show. Finally Hotaru gave her a deep orchid stroller, with light pink bunnies all over it. Hotaru also presented to the Queen a deep purple hovering bunny. With a touch of a small button the bunny turned into a floating cradle. Just so Serena didn’t have to carry little Rini all over. “ Oh! Everything’s so adorable! I have practically everything I need. All that’s left is her room. Thank you!” Somehow Serena managed to bear hug each of them at the same time. After that they dug into the large cake and other treats. They would relax for now. Until all hell breaks loose planning the wedding.
