Finding Destiny
The Epilogue
By Angel Love

Author's notes: And it has come to an end...

Standard disclaimers apply. I don't own Sailor Moon or Eros. But the Guardians are mine.

Serena ran through the park chasing Darien around the small space while the inners and the generals looked on laughing at the good-natured fun.

She finally caught him when she ducked around some bushes and caught him when he stopped and looked around. It didn't help when the scouts lied and told him that she was behind him, getting him to move back in the blonde's direction.

She burst out of the bushes and wrapped her arms around his waist giggling. "Gotcha!"

He laughed down at her, his midnight blue eyes dancing. "Yes, you caught me."

"Told you that I could," she laughed.

"You had help," he teased.

She shrugged a shoulder and grinned at her friends. "I never said that I could do it alone. Why should I when I have the best help in the world."

Darien laughed and claimed her mouth in a kiss while the girls made 'that's gross' comments causing the couple to break away from each other laughing.

Serena suddenly felt a presence and turned.

Standing a little ways up on top of a hill was Angel. Her blonde hair blew gently in the breeze and she smiled softly at the Moon Princess when she saw her look her way.

Serena looked up at Darien and he nodded to her. "We'll be right here waiting for you."

She nodded her head and slowly made her way across the park and up the hill. She stopped in front of the Guardian and grinned. "Why don't you come down and join us?"

Angel shook her head, looking back to see Rose, Trista and Eros, without his wings showing, waiting for her. "It is time for us to go, Serena."

"Are you sure you have to go?" Serena whined, causing the other girl to smile. She knew that they had to go, but she wanted to hang onto them just a little longer. "You've only been here for a week."

Angel nodded. "Yes, Serena, we have to go. Eros can't hide in the mortal world as easily as Rose and I can. It takes a lot out of him to hide his wings. He won't leave without me, I guess my death is making both him and Rose more protective of me." She rolled her eyes. "We also have things to do, other responsibilities." At Serena's fallen face she placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry. If you need us, we will come. All you have to do is call."

Serena smiled sadly, wiping away the single tear that fell down her cheek. "How do I do that?"

"Hold your crystal and close your eyes and call out to us mentally. We will hear you."

Rose stepped forward and motioned that it was time.

Serena suddenly threw her arms around the older blonde, startling her slightly. It didn't take long for Angel to relax and hug her back just as fiercely. "I won't be far away, Serena," she whispered. "I will always be with you. Remember that no matter what happens, you always have a friend in the other plane."

Serena smiled through the tears in her eyes and stepped away from the Guardian. To her surprise Rose stepped over to her and gave her a small hug.

Rose grinned at the startled look. "Keep your boy in line. And make sure those scouts of yours do the same thing to theirs. The transition between the nega-world and yours is not going to be easy on them."

Serena nodded her understanding.

Angel grinned and waved to the scouts before calling forth her quartz. "I say we give them a light show before we go," she grinned to her companions.

Rose sighed but agreed. "I'm only letting you do this because there aren't any mortals around."

Rose pulled out her own quartz.

Trista sighed as she saw what we were about to do. "Well at least let me change and have the door ready in case someone comes. I don't want to hear what explanations the two of you give for your wings."

Angel giggled and nodded, seeing the scouts eyeing them from down below.

"Pluto Planet Power!"

The symbol of Pluto appeared and glowed in her henshin stick as she reached out and grabbed it. Purple energy erupted from the top of it, melting away her clothes and forming a circle of energy around her as she turned. She crossed her arms over her chest as the energy surged up and surrounded her body, encasing her in her fuku. Her time key appeared out of the energy and her hand reached out and grabbed it. Lipstick crossed her lips and she opened her eyes. She twirled the staff around her before setting it down as she ended her transformation into Sailor Pluto.

She waved her time staff and the gates appeared next to them.

Eros closed his eyes and suddenly his wings shimmered and appeared at his back, the air around them seemed to be charged with magical energy at his transformation from mortal to god.

Angel and Rose touched their stones together calling on their own powers.

"Hands of Destiny, I seek your power."

"Cupid's love, grant me your strength."

The stones disappeared and the colors surrounded them, merging together in a brilliant light and it was impossible to tell which color belonged to which twin. They were both raised in the air slightly and the wind picked up around them as their clothes faded away. Their leather shorts appeared over them, white for Destiny, black for Love. Their red cropped tops formed over their chests. Destiny stretched out her arms as her black wings flared out at her back at the same time Love's white boots and her tiara appeared. Love crossed her arms in front of her and her wings flared out, as Destiny's black boots and her tiara appeared. They shifted so that their backs were to each other, their large wings touching. Destiny crossed her arms as Love opened hers and two staffs appeared. One silver and one gold. Destiny grabbed hers and twirled it as Love simply brought hers close to her and soothed back her hair. They both opened their eyes and grinned at the dumb-founded Serena.

Love winked. "You should see the light show you give off when you transform."

They each turned and waved to the scouts, generals and Darien below, Love flashing a V-sign to Mina who returned it. Then Pluto opened the gates and they stepped through, the blonde paused as she was about to walk through and looked back at Serena. "Remember that we will always be here when you need us."

Serena nodded. "Don't become a stranger," she whispered as the immortal senshi walked through the gates and they disappeared.

Serena sighed softly as she felt Darien wrap his arms around her. "I'm going to miss them," she whispered.

He nodded his head while laying a few kisses along her shoulder. "So am I. We would have never found our destinies without them."

She turned and grinned up at him. "Somehow I think we still would have found our way to each other. Even if I had to throw a few more shoes at you."

Darien laughed, before he claimed her lips with his own.

Amy looked up at Zoicite and smiled at him shyly. He gently cupped her cheek before he lowered his lips to hers.

Mina had her back to Malachite and she giggled as he nibbled on her neck, trying to smack him lightly but he kept evading her hands. Their laughter floated in the air around them.

Lita snuggled into Nephlite's embrace, closing her eyes and just loosing herself in the feeling of him holding her. While he gently stroked her back counting his blessings that he was able to hold her once more.

Raye and Jadeite argued good-naturedly and the scout of fire suddenly became very quiet when Jadeite kissed her.

Darien pulled away from Serena and leaned his forehead against hers. "I love you," he whispered.

"I love you, too," she answered whole-heartedly.

Five couples found their destinies, past the hurt and pain of years of separation. Now was the time for a new beginning. But each beginning does not come easily. They must each fight for their love against new enemies that will soon come their way.

The end…
