Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Scouts in america ❯ Goodbye my friend ( Chapter 30 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Sailor Moon Scouts in America #30 Goodbye my friend.

Sailor moon is the property of Toei (I guess) the American names are the property of DIC. All new characters are mine except for the guilded rose and Jake Slater. They're the idea of my friend AOL nickname gcl1969.

Sailor Moon and the other scouts are standing around confused.

"What happened? I thought it was over?" Sailor Moon says.

"It was but I saved this planet." A familiar voice says.

"Jarod?" Sailor Moon yells.

A transparent figure appears in front of Sailor Moon. It's Jarod but he is in his armored outfit of the sovereign protectorate.

"Jarod!" Sailor Moon yells.

She tries to grasp him but her hands pass right through him.

"The being you knew as Jarod is no more. He died when Escalate finished him off. The one you see now is Jarani of the Sovereign protectorate." Jarani says.

"No! Jarod!" Sailor Moon yells with tears in her eyes.

"My life in that form was shaky with the evil power of Aries inside of me. You brought some order to my life. For that I thank you." Jarani says bowing.

"What happens now?" Sailor Moon asks.

"I have the life force of the earth inside of me now. I must take on the duties of the earth protector now. If anyone got to me they could still destroy the earth." Jarani responds.

"Please. There must be some way that Jarod could still exist." Sailor Moon says.

"I'm sorry but like I said Jarod is dead." Jarani says.

"I love you." Sailor Moon cries out.

"I care for you also. But not in the same way. I was once a protector of you and the other scouts and I always will be in some way." Jarani says.

Sailor Moon hears a noise and spins around. It's Jake.

"Jarani!" Jake exclaims.

"Hello Jacana." Jarani says.

"Jacana?" Sailor Jupiter asks.

"That was my name back on the moon as a sovereign protectorate." Jake says.

"Thank you for your sacrifice." Jake says.

"It was my duty. To protect the Sailor scouts and their planet." Jarani says.

"I am still shook up on how close the end came this time. The world actually ended didn't it?" Sailor Venus asks.

"Yes but I was able to absorb the energy before it could leap into space. If I hadn't done that, this planet would have stayed gone." Jarani responds.

Jake smiles.

"You always did like to jump in the middle of a dangerous situation and risk your life." Jake says.

"It's time for me to go." Jarani says.

"Will I ever see you again?" Sailor Moon asks.

"I assume you mean in a recognizable form. No." Jarani responds.

Jarani starts to fade out.

"No. Please don't leave me." Sailor Moon yells.

Jarani suddenly becomes solid and grabs Sailor Moon. They share a brief but passionate kiss. Then he completely disappears.

"Goodbye." Sailor Moon says crying.

"It's my turn to go now." Jake says.

"What?" Lita asks.

"I came here cause I was needed. I will return to where I came from to wait for a time when I am needed again." Jake says.

He throws a rose onto the ground and becomes the Guilded Rose once more.

"Will I ever see you again?" Sailor Jupiter asks.

"Maybe but I am afraid that you will not remember me. Unfortunately anybody that discovers my secret identity will forget me after I leave." The Guided rose responds.

"I will never forget you." Sailor Jupiter says crying.

"I will never forget you either. I will never forget any of you and I do hope that we will meet again someday." The Guilded rose says.

Jake gives Sailor Jupiter a golden rose.

"This will allow you to remember a bit about me but not enough to recognize me. You will only remember that a mysterious black robed figure gave you this." The guilded rose says.

He takes out his staff and circles it around until a gateway opens up. He steps through it. The gate closes behind him.

"Goodbye my friend." Sailor Jupiter says crying.

After the new term of school starts the problem of Ami being expelled came back.

"You know that it wasn't Ami that was causing the trouble." John says.

"I am not sure what to believe right now." The principle says.

"You should at least let her back in. The girls assure that Ami's double will never come back." John says.

"I trust you John. If you trust those girls than I can too. Call Ami into my office." The principle says.

Ami walks in.

"I apologize for what I put you through for something that wasn't your fault." The principle says.

Ami smiles.

Serena is sitting in the living room feeling sad. She realizes that she will truly never see Jarod again.

(Lyrics from the song Goodbye my friend by Linda Rhonstadt.)

""Though we never know where life will take us. I know it's just a ride on the wheel.""

Serena remembers first meeting Jarod and how something about him struck her fancy.

""And we never know when death will shake us. And we wonder how it will feel.""

Serena remembers Jarod and her in the woods looking for her locket.

""So goodbye my friend. I know I'll never see you again.""

Serena remembers all those times that she tried to get Jarod to hold hands but failed. How when they finally did he freaked out and ran away.

""But the time together through all these years will take away these tears.""

Serena remembers their first kiss and her feeling that they belong together for some reason.

"Jarod." Serena cries out in tears.

""But I'm okay now.""

Darien comes in and sees Serena. crying. He sits down next to her and comforts her.

""You can go now.""

"Darien." Serena says.

""Goodbye my friend.""

The end.
Coming up next a mysterious game lands on earth. A simple game couldn't be a threat. Or could it?
