The Diamond Affair Epilogue
Epilogue:
The dark gate closed. Everyone was tired from the
amount of energy that they had used. Serenity detransformed, leaving
behind Serena. She was the most tired and fell to the ground.
Tux caught her.
"Usako, Usako, you did it!"
"No, we did it."
Serena looked at Saffir and Diamond. Pluto ran to him.
He caught her with open arms. Diamond kissed the top of her forehead
and ran his fingers through her green hair, before catching her lips
with his own.
Everyone smiled at the scene. They knew that
everything would be ok again.
Serena looked at them. She had one more thing to do
before they went back to their lives. She got up with Tux's help.
She looked at Saffir, who was trying to get Diamond's attention.
Diamond: "WHAT?!"
Saffir grinned then pointed to Serena and Tux.
Diamond reluctantly let go of Pluto and walked towards
them. Saffir followed him. Diamond and Saffir knelt down before them
in respect.
Diamond: "I want to ask for your forgiveness. Saffir
only did what he was told, please don't punish him. I am truly sorry
for all I've done. I will do anything to make it right. Just tell me
what to do."
Serena looked at Tux, who was looking at Diamond.
Tux: "Prince Diamond, I can't tell you how much I
hate you. You went after my daughter, then after the one that I love.
But, that's in the past now. I can see that you've changed and that
you realize all your mistakes. So, if Serena can forgive you, then
so can I."
Diamond looked up at Tux. He did not expect Tux to be
so understanding.
Serena: "Well, of course I forgive you. You know I
can't hold a grudge for that long."
She smiled at them.
Tux: "But, don't ever do that again. If you do, I
won't hesitate to kill you!"
Serena: "There's only one thing left to do. Please
rise."
Saffir and Diamond got up and looked at Serena
strangely. They were about to ask her what she meant, but she wouldn't
let them.
"You're probably wondering what I mean. Well, the two
of you have proven yourselves. You can be good, you were just shown
the wrong path. Just like the four sisters, I am offering to cleanse
you of all your dark energy. Do you accept?"
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Good."
She smiled at them before holding the crystal in her
hands.
"Moon healing ACTIVATION!"
Surges of white and pink energy emanated from the
crystal, cleansing them. The upside down crescent moon symbols on
their foreheads disappeared and were replaced by upright crescent
moons.
After the process was complete, Serena felt drained and
fainted into Tux's arms.
"She's just tired from using the crystal that much.
She should be fine in a little while."
Pluto took them all back to the past, to Darien's
apartment.
Darien's Apartment:
"Daddy!"
Tux smiled at her and hugged her. Rini looked down and
saw Serena sleeping with a smile on her face.
"Will she be alright?"
"Of-"
"Of course, I will. Takes more than that to get rid
of me!"
"Mommy!"
Rini hugged her tightly.
Tux turned his attention to everyone in the room, who
looked at Diamond and Saffir with contempt.
Tux: "Before you kill them, listen to me. Serena and
I have forgiven them. Serena also used the crystal to heal them. They
helped us in the final battle. So, find it your hearts to forgive
them. They are truly sorry."
Everyone was in a deep thought. They knew that they
should forgive Diamond and Saffir, but they kept thinking about what
they dark moon had done to them.
Diamond: "I understand if you don't want to forgive
me. You will never know how sorry I am. Saffir and I will go, he has
some unfinished business to take care of."
Saffir blushed slightly. He knew that Diamond was
talking about going to Petz and telling her how he feels about her.
"You don't have to be pushy about it."
"Yeah, if Serena and Darien can forgive you, so can
we."
"Thank you very much. Saffir and I will make it all
up to you."
Pluto: "Small Lady."
Rini looked at her and knew that it was time to go.
She looked at her "parents" and then to her friends.
Rini hugged the generals and senshi as they told her
some words of wisdom (AN: not really, but ok:). She then hugged
Saffir and Diamond, telling them that she's glad that they're not bad
anymore.
Rini then ran to her future mother and father and
hugged them. The three of them stayed like that for a few moments.
Serena and Rini began crying. Rini then broke the hug and went to
Pluto. Rini raised her time key,
"Crystal key take me HOME!"
A pink light formed, blinding everyone. When it was
gone, so was Rini.
Serena: "I'm going to miss her."
Tux: "Just for now."
They looked at each other and kissed. Everyone else
looked at them with smiles on their faces before leaving the apartment,
so that the couple could have some time to themselves.
