Epilogue
Tomorrow is Another Day
"You're all back!" Luna screeched.
The Sailor Scouts had just staggered up the steps of the temple followed closely by Fargo and Tuxedo Mask.
It was the crack of dawn and they were all dishevelled and fatigued by the night's action.
Luna and Artemis had waited up all night for the Scouts to return and they were relieved to see them safe and sound.
"Looks like it doesn't it?" Sailor Mars replied cheerily despite her roughed up condition.
"I think we're back. Not sure though!" Sailor Jupiter added.
Luna had eyes for only one of them.
Sailor Mercury noticed Luna looking at her intently and lowered her gaze uncomfortably.
Luna's heart sank as she realised that Amy had not forgotten their row the night before. Not that she could blame her.
"It's so good to be home." Mars sighed. "There were a few times tonight when I thought I'd never see the temple again."
"For sure! We came close to being beaten! Too close!" Venus nodded.
"Tell us what happened." Artemis instructed her.
Sailor Moon cut in. "Oooh can't it wait till morning? I'm dead on my feet!" she wailed.
"It's morning now." Artemis pointed out.
"I mean morning at ten o'clock when I've had a long crash!"
Sailor V nudged her cat with the toe of her shoe.
"Let her have her way Artemis. You know she'll be totally impossible if you don't." she whispered. Artemis sighed and gave in.
"Do you have anything I can change into?" Mercury asked Mars, speaking for the first time since they'd gotten back. Mars understood and nodded.
"Go along the corridor and into the second door on the right. I left some spare clothes in there." She instructed.
"Thank you." Mercury nodded gratefully.
With that she turned and walked through the wooden doors that led into the temple followed by several curious gazes. As they looked at one another again though none of them noticed Luna run quickly after Sailor Mercury and through the doors just before they closed.
"Walk you home?" Tuxedo Mask offered Sailor Moon.
"Wouldn't have it any other way muffin!"
Just then Artemis remembered the vision that everyone had seen last night. Fargo was gazing after the departed Mercury wistfully.
While they had all been walking back from the hotel Fargo had come to a decision. He had decided that Amy was something fantastic. Something he could never have. Also she had been acting nervously around him since the hotel and although he knew that she liked and trusted him Fargo also knew that Amy just didn't love him like that. The one thing he never wanted to do was to force himself upon her against her will. There had been only one thing to do.
"Fargo you lucky dog!" Artemis laughed. "You really fell on your feet when Queen Serenity chose you to be Princess Mercury's husband! You must feel like you've won the lottery!"
"No. I don't." Fargo muttered. Everyone stared at him stunned.
"What?!!" Venus exclaimed.
"You heard what I said. I don't expect her to stay with me when she obviously doesn't want to. Simple as that."
"Whoah!" Jupiter grinned. "I don't believe it! You're a real gentleman!"
"Who cares what you think?" Fargo snapped.
"Hey I'm just saying that maybe I was wrong about you after all."
Sailor Moon snickered loud enough for them to hear.
"What's that mean to mean?" Fargo demanded.
"Oooh nothing. Nothing at all." Moon replied airily as she left with Tuxedo Mask.
~*~*~
Sailor Mercury closed the door behind her. Believing herself to be alone Mercury transformed back into Amy and her sailor suit disappeared.
Looking around the room she saw one of Rei's floor-length red frocks that she wore while sweeping away the dust on the temple porch lying on the floor.
"Amy?" Amy jumped. Luna was sitting on the floor looking up at her.
There was something in Luna's eyes that Amy had never seen there before in all the time she'd known her.
"Oh hi Luna!" she stammered.
"I hope that you are alright after everything that happened." Luna said in a strangely humble voice.
"Oh I'm fine! Really I am. Don't worry about me Luna." Amy reassured the cat.
"I can't help it. But I'm glad that you are safe Amy. I really am."
"Thanks." They both stood for a while in awkward silence.
"That's a new look for you isn't it?" Luna teased her eventually.
Amy blushed slightly remembering the bikini and giggled a little.
"Yes. It is really isn't it?" she replied.
"Amy there's something I have to say to you. Something very important."
"What is it?" Amy asked worriedly.
"Amy…last night I said some things that I didn't really mean. I was angry with you but that's no excuse. I had no right to say what I did. Amy can you ever forgive me?"
Amy stared at her.
It was not in her heart to bear malice, bitterness or grudges against anyone, especially a friend. And after what she'd been through over the past few days Amy was happy to be free and just couldn't feel angry with anyone.
"Luna it's alright." She whispered. "Really it is."
"Are you sure?"
"Like I said it's in the past. Forget all about it." Amy stroked Luna behind the ears like she usually did to show her that there no hard feelings between them.
~*~*~
Mina stepped out from behind the tree having just transformed back from Sailor V. As she began to make for her front gate she stopped and stared.
There was a moving van outside the house next to hers.
Someone was finally moving in next to her.
As Mina walked up to get a closer look a girl of about her own age climbed out of the van.
She looked around and smiled when she noticed her. She had long dark green hair which cascaded over her shoulders and down to her waist quite like Rei's. She was remarkably beautiful and had the most gorgeous blue eyes Mina had ever seen.
The girl looked into her eyes and something happened.
Something truly extraordinary.
As they gazed into each others eyes both Mina and the girl felt an inner flash as their eyes met like two pieces of a magical puzzle.
The girls sapphire blue eyes were startled as she looked at the blonde girl in startlement. She had no idea what had just happened but one thing was clear to her at once.
It was right.
Mina cleared her throat.
"Hi! I'm Mina and I live next door." She greeted her new neighbour.
"Good morning! My name's Alexia." The girl replied. "Good to meet ya Mina!"
"Same here! Which school will you be going to?"
"I'm not really sure. I have to go into the house now but I'll see you around huh?"
"Yeah uh-huh!" Mina enthused. "I hope we'll be friends. See you around Alexia!"
"Bye for now Mina!"
Mina watched as Alexia opened the gate went to the front door and went into the house. She liked Alexia already and she just knew that they would be friends.
She didn't notice a small orange cat sitting on the roof of the van looking down at her.
As soon as she had seen Mina the kitten had realised who she was.
Princess Venus AKA Sailor Venus.
Then the other Scouts lived around this area and if they did then Luna and Artemis who would as well!
There was no way that Alexia wouldn't come into contact with them sooner or later.
Oh well.
The cat licked herself carefully. It would all come out in the wash. She'd reveal herself to the others and tell Alexia Risuluto or rather Sailor Charon about her true destiny when the time came.
Satisfied with this Estrella, the third advisor of Queen Serenity jumped down onto the fence and began to preen herself.
~*~*~
"So no sign of Fargo then?" Rei asked as she swept up the porch with a scraping broom.
"No." Amy replied. She was now wearing one of Rei's frocks and there was a troubled look of thought on her face.
Ever since she had found out that she was married to Fargo the previous night Amy had felt uncomfortable around him.
It wasn't that she didn't like Fargo. He was funny and deep down he was sincere and considerate. He had risked his life to protect her when he hadn't had to. Amy supposed that he was also kind of good looking in a ruffled worse for wear kind of way. But she just didn't love him like that. And now she wondered what she was going to do now he and she knew the truth.
"What happened to Sailor Universe?" Artemis asked.
"Gone." Amy replied briefly. "She just vanished with no trace while we were watching the fight. We don't know where she went."
That was another worry. Sailor Universe was still out there somewhere. She knew that Amy was Sailor Mercury and could strike at any time. And now Mu wasn't around to keep her in check…
No sense worrying about it now.
Amy decided that she'd just have to wait and see how it turned out.
"Great! So we have a renegade Scout on the loose." Luna growled. "The most dangerous thing imaginable!"
They all fell silent as a shadow fell across the porch.
Amy looked up to see Fargo standing there in front of her.
"Fargo." Amy whispered so quietly he could hardly hear her.
"Amy…we need to talk." Fargo said simply. Amy nodded mutely.
Rei, Luna and Artemis watched as they walked away. They all knew what Fargo was going to tell Amy so they weren't worried at all.
~*~*~
"Are you okay?" Fargo asked her.
"I'm fine." Amy stammered.
There were butterflies in her stomach.
"Really?" Fargo raised an eyebrow and looked at her keenly. Amy went red to the tips of her ears.
"Yes. I'm alright." She struggled out.
"Glad to hear it. I've been thinking about a lot of things."
"Oh?" Amy's heart was beating three times its usual rate.
"Yep. A lot of things. You mostly."
There was a short pause.
"Yes?" Amy managed.
"I've come to release you from your ties to me." Fargo concluded.
Amy stared at him. She felt an immense tide of relief wash over her. Whatever she had been expecting it had not been this.
"But why? We're married…"
"Thanks. I'm not Mu!" Fargo retorted.
"I don't mean…"
"No don't worry about it. Listen Amy I only did it to save you from Mu. Now he's dead and my job's over. I've fulfilled my promise to Queen Serenity."
Fargo kneeled down before Amy formally. He had never done this before so it nearly didn't work.
"Princess Mercury." He announced as his eyes sparkled. "The marriage is over. I cannot take you any further. Consider yourself divorced."
"Thank you." Amy smiled and met his eyes for the first time.
Fargo's breath left him as he saw that same smile the beautiful eyes and the rosy blush that had drawn him to her that night so very long ago on the Moon Kingdom. Then he shook himself sternly telling himself that he couldn't afford to feel that way about her.
"There's no need at all for you to thank me." Fargo stood again. "I'm honoured to have been able to help you Amy. For the first time in his life Fargo has done something and given something up for the sake of someone else."
"Won't you be able to leave the planet now that we're not married?" Amy asked remembering Queen Serenity's words.
"No. That's the one part of all of this that's forever. But even though I've lost the freedom of the stars I don't regret it. I never will. It's more than anyone like me could ever hope for."
"No. You're wrong." Amy cut in. "There's more in you than you know Fargo. Don't put yourself down like that."
"Fargo…" he repeated. "You know I still feel short changed after all of this. You see I found out about my past but I never found out what my real name is. Neither Queen Serenity nor myself mentioned it in our vision."
"Is it really important?" Amy asked. "Is your name really important if you're already a good sweet person?"
Fargo stared at her wide-eyed.
"What's wrong?"
"You know…that is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!" he exclaimed.
"I think that someone had to say it. Whatever you call yourself nothing can ever change who you are. That's all that's really important." Amy finished.
"Prin…Amy." Fargo corrected himself. "Thank you. For more than you can ever realise."
Amy just smiled and his insides felt funny. Not funny to laugh but an odd kind of funny.
"I have to be going now." Fargo said after a few moments had passed.
"Where will you go?"
"Not sure. Goodbye Amy. Be happy. And thank you again for everything."
Amy's face was concerned as he turned to leave. Already she was worrying about what would happen to him how he would live and where he would go.
"Well…keep in touch okay?" she said. "And if there's ever anything I can…"
"No." Fargo said abruptly. "You'll never see me again."
With that he walked down the steps and was gone.
After a long sad look in the direction he had departed in Amy turned and went back to the others.
Rei, Luna and Artemis watched as she arrived.
"Is he alright?" Rei asked concerned.
Amy nodded.
"Yes." She whispered. "He…he found what he was looking for. And so did I."
~*~*~
Some time later…
Outside the Dead-Zone Vortex Fargo stopped.
A sparkling red Harley Davidson was parked just outside. A short way off a massive cue-ball like man who was obviously the owner of the bike drank like a fish.
Fargo instantly recognised him as the man who had humiliated him a few days ago.
His eyes drifted back to the bike.
The keys were in the ignition.
Didn't the guy think anyone would dare to take it? Then again who ever would?
A guy with a death wish that was who.
With a grin bubbling up on his face Fargo jumped onto the bike.
The man turned as he heard the sound of an engine and stared at what he saw.
With a merry laugh and a cry of "EXCELSIOR!!!!" Fargo blazed away down the road on the bike.
Not once was he tempted to look back.
~The End~
Authors Notes: That's it, it's over! Or is it? A little advertising
now if nobody minds (even if anybody does):
But don't think that the adventure's over! Maybe now that you've read
this some of you would be interested in reading the SEQUEL?!!
The title is 'The Past Returns' and it's a HUGE joint-effort between
myself and another writer called Angelic Moonlight - you probably
noticed that her characters Alexia/Sailor Charon and her cat Estrella
made a quick cameo appearance at the very end.
As for the storyline...well let's just say that a few people from her
stories 'Arrival of Sailor Charon' and 'Rediscovering Lost Emotion'
(Which both took my breath away and which I strongly suggest that you
read. To be honest I'd go for them over my own fics!!) as well as the
story that you just read come back.
Of course we havent seen the last of Fargo and I don't think that the
enigma of Sailor Universe is over yet...do you??
Well that's all for now. I hope you all enjoyed reading this (Fargo
in particular was a joy to write and to my mind the scene in which he
and Me finally had it out was his finest moment!) and if you'd like
to see the sequel then it can be found at this link on fanfiction net:
http://www.fanfiction.net/profile.php?userid=24385
C ould you review it if you read?? Pleeeeease?!! Don't make me beg!
Also there are Moonlight's previous fics and if you're interested in
seeing it then here's a link to her website: Charon's world - a
sanctuary for new Sailor Scouts.

well anyway...glad to be here! It's a real slice of heaven!!
