Episode 201 "The world�s greatest wedding! A surprise visitor!"
"Hijo ni judai na kekkon no sekai! Homon-sha no odoroki!"
"Won�t be long now," commented a tall woman with long, green hair and rose
red eyes. She paused for dramatic effect as her two companions looked at her
in anticipation. "The Stars of Destiny are almost in alignment, and the
wedding is tomorrow, not to mention a certain eighteenth birthday."
Lightning crashed from the clear, night sky. "Don�t worry, Setsuna," replied
one of her companions, who was playing a peaceful tune on her piano. She was
a tall, cross dressed woman with short, sandy hair. "The Sailor Senshi always
come through. Even when we didn�t believe anyone could win."
"Haruka is correct," stated a beautiful young woman with wavy, shoulder
length, aquamarine hair, as she played along to Haruka�s peaceful tune, on
her violin. "Whatever happens, the Senshi and Sailor Moon will overcome it.
Besides, nothing could be as bad as Galaxia."
"I wish I held your confidence, Michiru," remarked Meiou Setsuna, "but I have
a very bad feeling about this. I can�t even tell what will transpire."
At that statement, all music stopped, mid tune, as Tenou Haruka and Kaiou
Michiru sat in awe of what they had just heard. "Masaka," said three voices
in perfect harmony.
The third voice belonged to Tomoe Hotaru, a rather small girl of about
thirteen years, with straight, shoulder length, black hair, and purple eyes.
"Setsuna-mama, how is it possible for you not to know what will develop?" she
questioned. She continued, "For Kami-sama�s sake, you are the Guardian of
Time."
The first woman returned, "I�m truly sorry, Hotaru-chan, but I am afraid I
can�t answer your question. All I can say is that I feel the time stream
ripping at the seams."
"But, you must know something! Matte, you said something about it not being
long, ne? What was that all about?"
"I�m sorry, but I don�t have an answer for that question either. Queen
Serenity asked me to sing her daughter a song on her eighteenth birthday,
which conveniently is her wedding day, not to mention the portentous
alignment of the Stars of Destiny. Usagi-chan will be eighteen tomorrow. I
have tried, to no avail, to decipher the song to something that would be
significant to the Tsuki no Hime, but all I can do is make out the words,
nothing special at all, except its catchy tune. Maybe only Usagi will
understand the hidden meaning."
Snickers from all four Outer Senshi erupted into uncontrollable laughter.
Haruka was the first to recover. "That odango-atama? She may have gotten
better since the end of the Sailor Wars, but if you can�t make it out,
Setsuna, she has no chance. She�ll probably let her mind wander to
Makoto-chan�s cooking during the song. Maybe we should get Rei-chan to do a
fire reading. Or have Ami read it, since she is the brains of our operation."
"No," said Michiru, "If we ask for a fire reading, Rei will want to know
what�s up, and it will ruin the good mood she has been in lately, preparing
for the wedding. Also, I have already concluded that brains alone won�t get
the answer."
Hotaru spoke up, "Setsuna-mama, you�re supposed to bring Chibi-Usa-chan back
for tomorrow, ne?"
"Hai, Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion have given her permission to use
the Time Key to come back for this event. She�s used the Key so often, she
actually doesn�t need me."
"Sugoi! I haven�t seen Chibi-Usa-chan in ages. I can�t wait to talk to her
about, um, teenager topics. You probably wouldn�t understand."
Lightning flashed again. "I just don�t know," whispered Setsuna, as she
stared into the dark skies of the night.
Elsewhere, Usagi woke up with a start. "Sailor Moon," whispered a barely
audible voice. Trying to conceal her identity, Usagi turned around in her bed
and feigned falling asleep. "Tsukino Usagi, you know I am talking to you."
Usagi, still trying her best to fake sleeping, mumbled, "No, Haruna-sensei,
it�s not fair. Three hours of detention just for eating in class? You should
really try Mako-chan�s cooking, by the way. I�m sure you�ll understand. Wait,
come on, Haruna-sensei. It�s not my fault your boyfriend dumped you again.
What? Five hours of detention? Rei�s going to kill me."
The bearer of the voice, who could still not be seen because of the
nonexistent lighting in the room, walked forward, ever so carefully. None the
less, the person managed to trip over her own feet, and made a huge crashing
sound that woke Usagi up from her nice little nap time monologue.
"What the hell do you think you�re doing, sneaking into someone�s room in the
middle of the night and then tripping over your own feet? I thought I was the
only one who could ---," Usagi blurted, and then stopped, mid sentence, as
she looked down at a familiar person in a familiar fuku, with a familiar
hairstyle. She improvised, "Um, Eternal Sailor Moon-sama, what are you doing
in my room?"
"Drop the act, I know who you are. Remember, I am you. Well, not exactly. We
are one and the same, but in our own worlds, our own universes."
Usagi�s sweat drop did the talking for her.
"I can�t believe you�re me. How dense are you? I mean, how dense am I? Wait,
go with the first one."
Usagi�s sweat drop continued to do her talking.
"Oh never mind. Just beware, they�re coming, and they will destroy you."
"What?" said an all too serious Usagi and a voice that mimicked her tone.
Hino Rei woke up, her comforter sprawled on the floor in a messy pile along
with her sheets. "What was that vision saying to me? Two Usagi�s? The world
barely survives having one, although an extra ally would be useful if another
enemy came, which supposedly they are. To destroy us? Kami-sama, I need these
visions sorted out. A fire reading should do the trick."
The young Shinto Priestess stood up, and got ready to do a fire reading. "I
haven�t done one of these in a while. Grandpa always does them because I
don�t need them for Senshi business. But, he can�t find out about this
vision." She tossed on a while blouse and a white Miko shirt, which she
tucked underneath a large red skirt that reached the ground. Rei combed her
raven colored hair because of the girlish nature in her. It wasn�t a thing
necessary to get her hair ready for the fire. But, she needed to style her
hair in a new fashion for the wedding tonight, might as well try something
out.
Rei walked into the main room of the Hikawa Shrine, and took her place in
front of the fire. "Great Fire, tell me what my dreams meant, show me what is
to come, and why there were two Usagi�s."
The everlasting fire sputtered then spread, trying to bring the answer its
mistress sought. After a few minutes, the flame settled back to its usual
position.
"Nothing? This is a bad omen. But, I can�t ruin the wedding for everyone.
When it is a reasonable hour, I�ll call Setsuna-san. She may know something
even the fire doesn�t. She won�t get her mood spoiled because it never
changed from that cold, factual look on events. I guess I would be that way
too if I had stood by the Gates of Time for millennia."
She calmly went back to her room, undressed, recovered her bed, and feel into
a deep sleep, devoid of dreams.
Morning came none to quickly for a certain resident of the Tsukino household.
At seven o�clock,Tsukino Ikkuko rose from her place beside Tsukino Kenji, and
she made her way to the shower, humming "Here Comes The Bride" all the while.
After her cleansing, she put on her casual yellow top and purple skirt, and
topped it off with a white apron. "What should I make my special little girl
on her big day?" she asked rhetorically.
"Chocolate pancakes, topped with whipped cream, and a mound of strawberries
and blueberries. Try to make them extra fluffy."
Ikkuko was very startled. She turned around to see her daughter all dressed
up in pink pajamas, her hair still hanging down, instead of in the usual
odango style. "I�ll see, Usagi, anything for you today." She checked her
watch. It was seven thirty. "Hmmm," she wondered silently, "Why can�t she get
up for school at this time? I won�t bring it up." She hurriedly moved around
the kitchen, looking for the ingredients that Usagi�s breakfast would
require, continuing into her fifty second repeat of "Here Comes The Bride".
By the time the feast was prepared, Usagi had put her hair up into her
preferred style, and had put on casual clothes for before the wedding. Ikkuko
called Shingo and her husband to breakfast, and the family happily dug into
the meal set in front of them, making unusually interesting conversation
about the procedure of the day.
"So, Usagi-chan," started Kenji, "how are you feeling? I know I was nervous
on my wedding day."
Usagi hesitated as she thought. "Well," she finally articulated, "I�m afraid
something will go wrong. Mamo-chan and I have put so much time and effort
into making this perfect that I would just freak out if anything ruined it."
"That�s nice dear," replied Ikkuko as she flipped more pancakes, "but don�t
eat too much. You do want to to fit into your dress, ne? By the way, it�s so
beautiful, where did you find it?"
"A friend of mine got it for me. She knows a great designer and all I had to
do was give my measurements, a photo of hairstyle and color, and what I
wanted in the dress. It was so cool!"
"I just can�t wait to get this whole wedding thing done with," Shingo finally
piped in. "The last few weeks, all I�ve heard is �wedding this� and �wedding
that�. Good riddance."
Usagi seized the opportunity to get back at her brother for all the years of
torture about her lifestyle, "but Shingo, it�s going to be the exact same
when you and Mika-chan tie the knot."
It apparently worked, as Shingo turned the brightest shade of red anyone has
ever seen and started connective his index fingers while blabbering
incomprehensible phrases. Usagi began to cackle quietly, and when the urge
became too great to control, she burst out like an insane hyena. Meanwhile,
her chair started tipping backwards, and before she knew what had happened,
BANG, her head smashed on the floor and her bright, blue eyes became kawaii
spiraling lines. When she finally recovered, she picked up the few shattered
pieces of dignity left to her, and returned to the table as if nothing had
happened.
"Same old Usagi," sighed her three relatives, all in perfect unison, just as
the doorbell rang. "I�ll get it," hollered Usagi, glad for an excuse to leave
her moaning family. As she opened the door, a mass of pink hair greeted her.
"Chibi-Usa-chan," Usagi whispered in surprise. "Sugoi. I didn�t know you were
coming. God, you�ve grown since we defeated Queen Neherina."
"Omedeto, okaasan."
"Wait here, I�ll call everyone else. Okaasan, otoosan, Shingo," Usagi yelled
to her still groaning family, "come see who�s here!"
When they arrived, their mouths dropped about two feet because of the vision
of loveliness in front of them.
"What a cute, gray kitten," Ikkuko commented as Usagi, Chibi-Usa, and Diana
performed the fasted face faults in their lives, "And is even has the same
marking as Luna on its forehead."
"Not Diana, okaasan, her," Usagi indicated.
When the group reoriented towards Chibi-Usa, their mouths fell even further.
Chibi-Usa stood before them, foot taller than three years ago, with a much
more developed figure. She wore white seashell earrings and some very
expensive formal attire. The top of the get-up was a brilliant pink that
shimmered in the sunlight. It was a short shirt that originated below the
skirt and rested firmly on her bust line, while being supported by two
shoulder straps. The skirt reached a little above her ankles and was a
dazzling pearl color which definitely attracted attention. She wore plain,
compared to the rest of her outfit, white elevated sandals. Chibi-Usa wore
pink gloves that extended past her elbows and stopped at the first knuckle of
each finger and at the base of the thumb. Her fingernails and toenails were
polished with the exact same pink as her hair. Finally, around her neck was a
string of white pearls that disappeared under her top, as not to reveal the
Chibimoon Crisis Compact to anyone.
"Ohayo, minna," was the first statement from Chibi-Usa, "It�s been awhile,
ne? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"The outfit," Usagi whispered in Chibi-Usa�s ear.
"Oh, this? Well, my parents didn�t know when I would arrive, so they made me
put it on. My bags with normal clothes are on the lawn, since I�m sure I
don�t fit any of the stuff I left here."
Everyone peered to the right, at which point their sweat glands secreted
unusually large sweat drops. There was a pile of blue luggage cases, reading
about six feet into the air, all with golden handles, snaps, and zippers, but
no wheels to help with moving. "My parents also said you guys wouldn�t have a
problem with me staying for a bit, so I packet a lot."
"Oh course we don�t mind, come in, come in, Chibi-Usa-chan. You�re always
welcome here," said Ikkuko. "Kenji, would you and Shingo be dears and get the
bags?"
"No need, everyone can go inside, I have a few people to help me. You think I
carried those by myself? Bakana."
Everyone went inside, except Usagi, who knew exactly what was going to
happen. "You can create people with Luna-P? Your magic is improving."
"It�s only temporary, like everything I make with Luna-P, but it does the
job," Chibi-Usa replied as she started to whirl around, while bouncing the
Luna-P ball like a basketball, and finally letting it fly into the sky.
"LUNA-P HENGE!" was the call of Chibi-Usa.
After the pink dust cleared, three workmen stood, all wearing loose jeans and
no top so that their perfectly tan skin was revealed. All three had spiky
golden hair that seemed to defy gravity and an health golden glow.
"I see you�ve taken up an, um, interest in male physique," giggled Usagi as
she stared at the men, each with probably less than two percent body fat and
huge, ripped muscles.
"Heh, actually, these are just a few people I picked up from watching a bit
too much anime. Usagi, meet Son Goten, Son Gohan, and Briefs Trunks, all
created by Akira Toriyama, and not belonging to me in any way, shape of form.
Guys, could you bring in my luggage?"
"Note to self," thought Usagi, "don�t get on Chibi-Usa�s bad side. Seeing
that they are from an anime, they probably have some weird abilities that
somehow made viewers around the globe watch and read for ten years."
"Hai, Small Lady okusama," all three said, and they started to carry the
luggage in. Although only one of them could have carried everything in with
one hand, all three had been told not to show off in front of the humans.
"Do they have girlfriends? I�m sure I know at least three single girls."
"Gomen nasai, Usagi, they can only stay tangible for an hour, then they
disappear. Maybe if I perfect my magic. But they do get the job done.
Besides, you have Mamo-chan."
"You know perfectly well who I�m talking about!" retorted the blushing Usagi.
"Ami-chan, Mako-chan, and Mina-chan are still single?"
Usagi used her index finger to tap her nose. The two girls walked into the
Tsukino residence, continuing their conversation about the three men, and how
hopeless their friends were. Once the bags were finished being brought in,
the door slammed shut.
The scene quickly changed to a beautiful golden locket with two sophisticated
adults in suits and a carefree child wearing casual clothes while taking an
uncharacteristically mature pose for the camera. As the view backs up from
the locket, Chiba Mamoru can be seen, trying to hold back tears.
"Well, okaasan, otoosan, the day has arrived. I�m marrying the love of my
life in a few short hours. Why couldn�t you be here? Why?"
He slammed his fist down hard onto his dresser. "Mamoru-kun? You want help
getting your tuxedo on correctly or not?" Motoki was in the dressing room, in
front of a mirror. It reflected his simple, yet extravagant looking tuxedo,
and other black tie attire. "Well?"
"Sorry, Motoki-kun. Just thinking about my parents. Thanks for helping out,
these things are so hard to get into and wear comfortably," Mamoru lied as he
spat out the largest piece of irony known to this physical plain of existence.
"Any time. Reika is helping Mako-chan with some final preparations, so I was
free. Besides, what is the Best Man for? Let�s get this thing on you," Motoki
said as he turned around smiling. He held up a hanger that was completely
filled with clothes. The tuxedo actually looked like the one Mamoru had used
so frequently, but with inverted colors, and no cape, cane or mask to speak
of. The shirt was similar, except black, and with silver buttons. The jacket
was a glossy white with golden buttons, as were the pants. The cummerbund was
made of silk for flexibility and was gold in color. The bow-tie was black
with a pattern of wavy red embroidery that somehow called attention away from
the glistening suit. The socks were a normal white, and the shoes were black.
In Motoki�s other hand was an opened box with four silver cufflinks. "Has
Usagi-chan seen you in this yet? I bet she�ll be startled at how handsome it
is."
"No, we both decided to surprise each other at the ceremony. Besides, I�ve
heard that Usagi��s dress is going to eclipse anything and everything anyone
else wears, no matter how becoming."
"Just as well, she is the main attraction, if you will."
"Shut up and help me get this on, or we�ll be late for the pre-ceremonial
photographs."
"I forgot to ask, did Rei convince you to hold a Shinto wedding?"
"No, she couldn�t, but she tried very hard. Actually, I know a great person
for the job. Don�t worry, it will go quick and painlessly."
"Wonderful."
The guests began to pile into the designated area outside of church at around
4:00 P.M. Since Mamoru�s and Usagi�s friends were practically all mutual, and
Mamoru had no family to speak of, they had opted for no distinction between
bride�s and groom�s side. Luna, Artemis, and Diana were forced to wait
outside of the ceremony, which was in a grassy area surrounded by white
fencing. The first group to enter was the Ayakashi sisters, wearing unusually
mundane attire.
Cooan purple hair was loose, and fell all round her body, except where it was
combed so her overly made-up face could be seen. She wore a tight red top
that extended all the way up her arms to meet purple fur gloves. Her
mini-skirt matched the color of her top, and was equally tight, so much that
one might wonder how she managed to even walk. Her shoes were purple heels,
and she had a purple boa draped around her neck to give her a Hollywood star
appearance.
Beruche wore a very similar top and skirt, but they were navy blue. Her white
hair was tied in a ponytail that rested over her right shoulder. Her feet
were covered in light blue platforms. On each middle finger was a gold ring
attached to sky blue silk that connected to a light blue sash around Beruche
waist.
Calaveras wore her brown hair in a bun atop her head, with two sticks holding
it in place. She wore a red kimono with yellow and green symbols on it, and
wooden ceremonial shoes. Her lips were covered in lipstick, and her ears
sported green and yellow ying-yang symbols.
Petz, the eldest of the four sisters, had allowed her green hair to grow out
a little, and had it in a bowl cut. She wore a completely aquamarine gown,
and yellow crescent moon earrings.
Next came Tomoe Soichi, Grandpa Hino, Yuuichirou, Dr. Mizuno, Mr. and Mrs.
Aino.
Professor Tomoe had somehow managed to slip into a black-tie event wearing
his lab coat and other semi-formal clothes. His huge glasses flashed when hit
by the light and they reflected an unconscious bouncer.
Grandpa Hino and Kumada Yuuichirou also wore their normal apparel of white
Shinto tops and blue Shinto bottoms. Since it is Japan, this type of garment
would be held in high esteem, so they had no trouble getting passed to
fashion police. Yuuichirou was in a somewhat bad mood because he had not been
chosen to be Rei�s usher, but he tried to make the best of it as he didn�t
want to risk enraging his beloved by ruining her best friends wedding.
Dr. Mizuno entered in an tight, elegant, green dress that traveled to just
about her ankles and beautifully accented her shoulder length straight blue
hair. She wore matching green heels and pearl earrings in each ear.
Mr. Aino wore a traditional black tuxedo, but had changed the bow-tie to red
to so that his strawberry blond hair matched something. Mrs. Aino�s hair was
very long and blond, just like her daughter�s. Her dress was a ballroom gown
straight out of Cinderella, and her glass slippers and gold earrings put her
into straight into the fairy tale.
Next came Unazuki, Motoki and Reika Furuhata. Unazuki had done quite well for
herself after taking a higher paying job that her waitress career. Her
garment was entirely black sequined, and this included a modestly revealing
dress, shoes, and gloves. Motoki�s tuxedo hadn�t changed since his talk with
Mamoru, except for a few more wrinkles that weren�t immediately noticeable.
Reika came in a plain white ballroom gown, with matching earrings, gloves,
and heels. As soon as his family was comfortable seated, Motoki left to take
his position as Best Man.
Next entered the lovely pair of Guiro Umino and Osaka Naru. Umino and Naru
had decided years ago that contacts were the answer, and Umino�s brilliant
hazel eyes were easily visible. He too wore a traditional black tuxedo. Naru
hadn�t gotten a huge amount of money to spend on a dress, but what she wore
was very fitting and flattering. It was a navy blue one-piece dress that went
loose around her lower body, tightly surrounded her chest, and stopped at the
shoulders. She wore her green ribbon in her hair, in her normal style, and
had orange nail polish, which went with her orange flats.
Some more of Usagi�s high school friends came in, all wearing inexpensive,
but cute dresses. Mamoru�s college buddies all came in wearing either tuxedos
or suits.
Finally, the photographers set up all around the outdoor, ceremonial area, as
a tall priest, with dark, black hair and dressing white and red robes, walked
in.
The small band off to the side started to play music as the family members
began to walk in. Ikkuko came in wearing her purple hair in an authoritative
bun. She wore a completely yellow gown, as were her gloves and heels, but for
a pearl on each shoe. She posed for the camera and waved her bouquet of
irises around, creating many consecutive Kodak moments. She took her place in
front of the crowd, and waited as her husband, Kenji, experienced the same
thrill of being at their daughter�s wedding. Kenji, clad in glasses and a
black tuxedo that was tweaked here and there for a unique look, slowly walked
in as he got more nervous by the second. He walked straight to his wife, not
bothering to pose for the flashing cameras, as his mind was a wreck from
pressure. Chibi-Usa followed in her white and pink outfit, and received many
gasps from the crowd as she stunned everyone with her beauty, as Luna-P
followed, floating behind her.
The bridesmaids and occasional usher were next.
Mizuno Ami walked in in a glowing, red dress. Her feet could be seen in sky
blue flats, and her hands were covered by matching gloves. She wore pearl
earrings and a gold chain necklace. Ami�s hair hadn�t changed much since
Galaxia, so styling had been a problem, and she went with her everyday
routine. She swirled around and posed many times for the camera before
blushing and hiding behind her bouquet of white roses.
Next was Kino Makoto, in an oriental, forest green dress. Her gloves were
like Chibi-Usa�s, but a pale green. Her ears were adorned by her ever present
rose earrings, and she wore black flats. Her chestnut brown hair formed cute
bangs on her forehead, and wasn�t held up by blue balls as normal, but was
draped down her back to a point were a white ribbon held it neatly together.
The cameras flashed again and again as she spun around in her much practiced
poses when she transformed into Sailor Jupiter.
Aino Minako had gone all out, and used all the money available from her
modeling career to make the perfect costume that would turn on a castrated
man. She was moderately tanner than two years before, and wore an tight,
orange top that came up to her bosom and simple stayed there, no straps
attached. Her skirt was light green, and stopped just above her knees, in a
very revealing way. Her legs were perfectly shaped, and attracted much
attention with their glistening tan color. Her feet were supported by pink
heels. She wore a gold choker, accompanied by a string of pearls that rested
were her top stopped. Her fingernails were accented with orange polish, and
her ears with gold star earrings. Minako�s agent had snuck in and began
taking roll after roll of film to submit to magazines, as the wedding
photographers fought for a decent photo.
Next came the pair of Kaiou Michiru and Tenou Haruka, with Haruka
cross-dressing as normal. Michiru wore her shoulder length hair in braids,
and clear lip gloss that attracted many eyes. Her gown was in two pieces, the
top a loose yellow, and the bottom a glittering green. Groans went up from
the single college men because of the fact that Haruka was presently with
Michiru, so they had no chance, judging from Haruka�s glares at them. Haruka
herself was dressed in a black tuxedo that had been custom made to not show
her feminine characteristics, and the cameras took many pictures.
Next came Meiou Setsuna and Tomoe Hotaru. Although Setsuna had access to vast
amounts of wealth, she wore a plain gray suit, much like the one she wore
when she first arrived four years hence, that fit her nicely, but showed
nothing special, as the Guardian of Time literally didn�t have the time to go
steady with anyone because of her duties. However, she did allow Hotaru
access to that wealth, especially since Hotaru was still single. Hotaru�s
extremely expensive dress was lavender velvet, and fell well around the
contours of her maturing body. Her gloves were an orchid color, and extended
from fingertip almost to the shoulder. Her footwear was hard to find violet
sandals, and her toenails had purple polish. She wore shimmering crystal
earrings and a larger, crystal brooch, which hung off of a gold chain
necklace. Although Setsuna didn�t care for it, she got some film action, but
not nearly as much as Hotaru did.
Once everyone had taken their places, the Best Man and Maid of Honor stepped
out. Motoki, although already seen by much of the crowd, had manages to add a
few adornments to his tuxedo like a white corsage and white gloves. The Maid
of Honor had been a tough decision, but Usagi had known from the start that
Hino Rei was her choice, but wouldn�t admit it to the other Senshi, not
wanting any hard feelings. Rei had gone a little overboard, even though it
wasn�t necessary because she and Yuuichirou were going steady. Still, she was
quite the crowd pleaser with a revealing red dress that started at shoulder
straps, went around to her front to slide along her curves, and never made it
back to her back until her hips, at which point it became a flourishing gown.
She wore violet gloves just like Hotaru�s, and gold star earrings that
branched down to a gold bar from which three crystal balls hung. Her feet
were adorned with red heels that exactly matched the heels of her Sailor Mars
guise. The cameras went wild, although they knew to save film for the Bride
and Groom.
Finally, Mamoru strolled down the aisle to wait at the end of the red carpet
for his soon-to-be wife. The flashes were numerous, but not too much was to
be said about Mamoru�s inverse tuxedo, except that it indeed did overshadow
the suits worn by the other males in the premise.
The band stopped playing the precession music, and they switched to the tune
of �Here Comes The Bride�. All heads turned to see Usagi gracefully step onto
the carpet. No one talked. Not a single sound was made, as all were
speechless as the magnitude of Usagi�s beauty. She wore a white gown, much
like here Princess Serenity getup, except she wore a silver belt buckled with
a gold crescent moon. She also wore a triplet of necklaces, one of silver
with chains interlocking stars, another of gold with chains interlocking
crescent moons, and the last a string of pearls. Her earrings were short
strings of pearls, and her pure white gloves tightly accented her arms. In
her hair was a wreath with white puffs on either side. Around each odango was
a chain of white flower petals. For shoes, she wore glass heels, much like
she had asked Mamoru to buy years ago, but ended in disaster, and around each
ankle was another string of pearls. It was 4:45 P.M. as she met Mamoru at the
end of the red carpet, and they simultaneously blushed and proceeded forward
to the priest.
Another fifteen minutes had gone by when the priest called on a select few
guests to speak to the couple. First was Naru. "Usagi, we have known each
other a very long time. You�ve always been there for me and Umino, through
thick and thin. I remember the trouble we used to get into when monsters
started attacking, but we were always saved by Sailor Moon. I am happy to
have known you, and have had you touch my life in a way no one else could
have. I know you and Mamoru will be happy until the end of your days." The
cameras went wild over Usagi�s friend that they had yet not captured.
Next, was Rei, who was under oath no to badmouth Usagi. "Usagi, before I met
you, I was a lonely soul. We�ve had a lot of fun together, ne? Whether
studying for entrance exams or flaking out and reading manga, we always found
something to talk about. Like everyone, we had our bad moments, but I
couldn�t ask for a more pure, wonderful person to have spent time with and to
have helped make me a better person. I know it is your destiny to be with
Mamoru forever and ever."
Finally, Setsuna rose, as Rei took her place again, and Usagi�s tears
trickled down her face. "Usagi, a mutual friend of ours, who sadly couldn�t
be here today, requested this of me," Setesuna started as she pointed to the
band and the began to play a familiar tune. Setsuna�s voice became loud
enough for all the neighborhood to hear, as she broke into song in a most
glorious voice:
"Gomen ne sunao ja nakute
Yume no naka nara ieru
Shikou kairo wa shotto sunzen
Ima sugu aitai yo!
"Nakitaku naru you na Moonlight
Denwa mo dekinai Midnight
Datte junjou dou shiyou?
Haato wa mangekyou

Setsuna waited for something, but she didn�t know what. All she knew is that
she had done her duty, and it was up to Usagi now. Nothing happened, but for
the entire audience being mesmerized by the song. Once she took her place
with the bridesmaids, the priest continued with the ceremony. "If anyone
knows a reason for these two people to not complete holy matrimony, speak now
or forever hold your peace." Silence. "Do you, Chiba Mamoru, take Tsukino
Usagi to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, for richer
or for poorer, to be your partner in life for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," and Mamoru slid a gold ring around Usagi�s left ring finger. On the
ring was a crescent moon pattern surrounding a heart shaped diamond.
"And do you, Tsukino Usagi, take Chiba Mamoru to be your lawfully husband
wife, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, to be your partner
in life for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," and Usagi put a gold ring onto the left ring finger of Mamoru. It was
designed as a patch of roses, with one diamond rose sticking above the rest.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. Mamoru, you may kiss the bride."
The two newlyweds turned to each other and locked lips as cherry blossoms
swirled around them in an unnatural wind pattern.
All of the guests wore huge smiles of joy, especially Kenji, who was relieved
the wedding had gone off without a hitch. Much to the surprise of everyone
inside of the fenced area, fierce meows from the three cats outside were
heard in the otherwise silent wedding. All of a sudden the three cats were
hurled into the area, all conveniently landing near their perspective owners.
"Artemis!" wailed Minako. After thorough inspection of the battered feline,
she continued, "He�s needs a veterinarian, what would do such a thing?"
"Diana," Chibi-Usa moaned, "Are you alright? Can you stand?"
Diana�s response was a weak meow, which was followed up by her fainting.
"Luna," Usagi whispered, "No. Not another enemy, not now."
Just as Usagi made her statement, the fencing was torn apart, and a brown
blob of clay that seemed to take a human form, stood where there was once the
only escape from the area.
"Kekkonnai!" it screamed.
By now, the guests were getting very, very terrified, especially Naru, who
was praying to Kami-sama that she hadn�t brought this on by mentioning the
trouble she used to get into with Usagi and the monsters.
Mamoru, Usagi, Chibi-Usa, and the other eight untransformed Senshi gathered.
"Why?" whined Usagi, "It was supposed to be the end after the Sailor Wars,
why?
"Stop crying, Usagi-chan, we need to transform to destroy this thing,"
lectured Ami.
"But, our secrets will be known. I think we should escape, then come back as
Senshi to battle," strategized Usagi.
"No go," said Rei, "That thing is blocking the only entrance! Besides, you�ve
transformed in front of lots of people. Jadeite, Nephrite, Mamoru that first
time, Haruka, Michiru, the Amazoness Quartet, and the list goes on. What
difference does it make if our families know?"
"Rei has a point," input Minako as she dodged wood being thrown at her and
the rest of the Senshi, "But, I think this is an opportune time to henshin,
if we are going to at all."
The group turned and stared at Kekkonnai, which was about five yards in front
of them. "Hai. Minna, iku yo!" shouted Usagi, just as a winged figure
appeared in the ex-entrance to the ceremonial area.
"Horobosu no kekkon, yurusenai! Ai to seigi no, sailor-fuku bishojo senshi,
Sailor Moon! Tsuki ni kawatte, oshioki yo!"
"Nani yo?!" uttered Usagi. She continued in a whisper, "That�s my line."
"Kekkonnai?" questioned Kekkonnai, as she turned to face the soldier of love
and justice.
Breaking out into her own time continuum, Sailor Moon pulled out the Eternal
Tier, and extended it�s length to maximum. She spun to both sides, while
allowing all sides of her body to be seen. A huge moon appeared in the
background, and feathers flew by. "Silver Moon," she spoke, as feathers rose
from her body with the Tier stretched in her hands. She spun around with the
feathers until the crystal in the Tier glowed yellow with power. "Crystal
Power," she continued, as she spun in circles to the right, then with inhuman
speed, she reversed directions to spin in circles to the left. Finally, she
stood straight as all the feathers cleared, and with the Eternal Tier above
her head, she concluded, "KISS," as light spewed forth from the Tier and
struck Kekkonai. All of this happening in less than three real seconds.
Kekkonnai began to fade, then gathered herself together to speak one last
time. "So, there are powerful senshi in this reality, too. Beware, Sailor
Moon, I am one of the weak ones. You and your world will perish like many
Earth�s before this one."
Finally, Kekkonnai faded, and the ten untransformed senshi and one tuxedo
clad male looked very confused.
