Under a Crystal Moon

It's been a while since I have finished a new story or re-edited an old story. So, I have sat down and finally re-edited this story. I have now incorporated the songs that I wrote for this story into it. I figured that if I wrote the songs, why not put them into the text of the story.

Also, I found a few other things that need to be changed. I have been thinking about doing a sequel to this story, so that is another reason for re-reading this story. Hope everyone enjoys and let me know if I should write a sequel or not.

I don't own Sailor Moon. I just enjoy writing stories about her.

Epilogue

The portal opens in the park. Usagi steps from the portal and looks around. On a bench near the lake, she sees Mamoru sitting there. She walks toward him. He hears her footsteps and turns. He looks at her for a moment before he puts his arms out to her. A tear runs down her face as she looks at him. She begins to walk toward him. When she gets to the last few steps, she falls into his open arms and lays her head on his chest. As she stands their enveloped in his arms, she can no longer hold the tears back.

She cries into his chest as he holds her close. "Usako." He whispers into her hair as his own tears begin to fall.

"I've missed you." She puts her arms around him and looks up toward his midnight blue eyes.

"No more misunderstandings." He says.

"Truth always." She agrees.

He bends his head closer to hers and gives her a passionate kiss. As he pulls away, he looks into her eyes. "You'll be leaving again though, won't you?"

She looks away from him. "I'm not."

"What do you mean your not? You are a famous singer now, you can't just give all of that up."

She turns to look at him with a smile. "Reanna is going to come out tomorrow night at her make up concert." She looks at him very seriously. "Will you be there?"

"Yes." He smiles at her. She hands him six tickets. He gives her a puzzled look. "They've already been."

"Tell them this is a special event." She kisses him and walks away.

Chibi Usa stands in the distance and watches. "All is right again."

"You knew it would be, Mama."

She turns to look into a pair of dark brown eyes. "Yes, Mark, but without you and your Papa it may have never happened."

"Well, My Queen, are we ready to go home?" Chibi Usa throws her arms around her husband. She stands there with his arms wrapped around her. "Are we ready?"

"Not quite, Josh." She looks into his eyes. "There is one more thing we have to do."

*****

There is a knock at the door. Usagi puts on her mask and answers the door. After she opens the door, her eyes gaze into a pair of midnight blue eyes. She grabs his hand and pulls him into her dressing room.

"Are they here?"

"Yes, but it took some convincing. It's a good thing that Chibi Usa helped. She wanted to come again." He gives her a sly smile.

"You better get back to them." She kisses his cheek. "I love you."

"I love you." He squeezes her hand as he gives her a kiss. He starts to walk from the room. He turns back toward her. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes, I'm not leaving you again."

A smile crosses his face as he turns to leave the room.

*****

"Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, please help me in welcoming Reanna." The concert hall erupts into applause as she walks out onto the stage. All the applause abruptly stop as mouths drop open and the audience stares at Reanna.

Instead of her normal black dress, she is dressed in a long crimson dress. Her mask is of white feathers and decorated with red sequins. Her long, light blonde hair is done in a French braid and with crimson red roses. A bright smile lies upon her face as she turns to look out toward the audience.

As her eyes fall upon the audience, she sees three familiar figures. Her smile widens as she sees Josh put his arms around Chibi Usa and she puts her arms around Mark. The three wave to her as a portal opens and they walk inside. A tear escapes her eye, but is caught by her mask. "Goodbye, Children." She thinks to herself.

She takes a deep breath and turns her attention back to the audience. "Last night, the concert was disrupted by a youma attack, so I wanted you to have a chance to listen to the rest of the songs that were to take place after the intermission. The first song that I would like to perform tonight is Why We Parted.

You walked away

Left me to stare

I held you dear

I loved you

Now my heart is torn in two

Why we parted

Is a mystery to me

You told me

You loved me

Now it's all gone

Harsh words

Were spoken

Hearts were hurt

I lost you all

In a blink of an eye

Why we parted

Is a mystery to me

We were all friends

To the bitter end

Now it's all gone

When I left you

All I felt was pain

Now your memory

Begins to fade

All I feel is sadness

Why we parted

Is a mystery to me

Are you all happy?

I miss you all

Now it's all gone

"The next song is called All That I Want." She looks out into the audience. "This is one of the first songs that I wrote."

Can you look me in the eyes?

When you tell me goodbye

I will always love you

I will always wait

You were my first love

You were my only love

You are who I hold dear

You are all I want

You left me for no reason

You pushed me away

Why do I still love you?

When you treat me that way

You were my first love

You were my only love

You are who I hold dear

You are all I want

I hope that you are happy

I hope that you have found

The person that will give you

Everything you wanted and more

You were my first love

You were my only love

You are who I hold dear

You are all I want

"The last song that I would like to perform tonight was supposed to debut during that concert last night." She looks across the audience. Her eyes fall upon Raye, Minako, Chibi Usa, Ami, Makoto, and Mamoru. "The song is called 'Whispering Winds.'" The music begins to fill the concert hall. Her voice begins to mix itself with the music.

Long ago, I left

Tears in my eyes

Sadness in my heart

Loneliness all around

I saw the look on your face

When I left I thought

It was right

Now all I feel is pain

Then I heard the whisper

On the wind

It told me it was time

For this to end

It told me

To go home

Never thought I'd come

Back to this place

Lived my life and

Tried to hide

Every time I looked at

The moon or I saw a

Red rose I cried

Because I thought of you

Then I heard the whisper

On the wind

It told me it was time

For this to end

It told me

To go home

Now I look around

I see the faces

That were once so

Dear to me

Did you miss me?

I missed you

I'm home again

Will things be the same?

Then I heard the whisper

On the wind

It told me it was time

For this to end

It told me

To go home

Now all is said

And all is done

My life is not

The same without you

It's time for

Foolish games to end

And hearts to mend

It's time for us to be one again

As the song comes to a close, all look upon her in awe. Applause fill the auditorium once more.

Her eyes fall upon Mamoru as the applause continue. He smiles to her and nods. She nods back as she opens her mouth to speak. "I have something that I would like to share with this wonderful audience. You will be the first to her this news." She looks out over the audience as a hush fills the room. When the room becomes totally quiet, she begins to speak once more. "While I have been here visiting, I met a young man that lives here." She looks out over the audience. "My heart was broken many years ago. That is the reason for the sad songs and for the mask.

"This young man has found the part of me that had died when my heart was broken." She looks down at Mamoru. "Tonight is my last concert. My heart belongs to this man." She puts her hand out toward Mamoru. "Mamoru Chiba, I have waited a long time to love again and I know the person that I love is you. I love you with all of my heart and soul. I am going into retirement to spend the rest of my life with you." All eyes turn to look at Mamoru. Minako, Makoto, Raye, Chibi Usa, and Ami stare in disbelief.

He stands and gazes up at her. He walks toward the stairs that lead to the stage. He walks up and takes her hand. "I love you with all my heart. Never will I hurt you or will I leave you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He bends down on one knee and holds a small velvet box up to her. "Will you do me the greatest honor of becoming my wife?"

"No!" A shout rings through the audience. Chibi Usa stands up and glares at them. "You are suppose to love Usagi Tsukino. She is your heart and soul. You said you'd love her forever." Tears run down her face.

"Small Lady, don't cry." Chibi Usa looks up in shock at the name. She looks into Reanna's blue eyes. A small smile plays on her lips.

"Mamoru, you can't do this." Minako pleads with him.

"Minako, you are the one who knows about love." Reanna gives her a knowing look. "You are his friends. Don't you want to see him get on with his life and let Usagi rest in peace?" She looks toward each of them. "Let him be happy. I won't take him from you." She turns toward him and bends down and kisses him. "It would be my pleasure to marry you." She says as he opens the box and places the ring on her finger.

He stands and they both kiss each other passionately. As the kiss ends, the whole audience is in tears at the display of love between the two. "I never want you to be apart from me again. I love you as much this day, if not more, as I did when we first met over six years ago."

Minako, Makoto, Raye, and Ami look up at the couple. Chibi Usa smiles as she begins to understand. She runs up onto the stage. "Will you take care of my Mamoru?"

"I always will, Usagi." She says as she picks her up.

She turns to the audience and removes her mask. A gasp fills the audience as everyone finds out that Reanna is actually Usagi Tsukino. Minako, Makoto, Raye, and Ami all run up onto the stage to embrace their long lost friend.

*****

A beautiful, bright white, full moon slowly rises over Crystal Tokyo. Queen Usagi and King Josh look out over their city as the things that had once been gone slowly reappear..

"You did well, My Love." He pulls his wife close.

"Our son did very well." A tear falls from her eyes.

"What wrong?" He asks as he sees the tear fall down Usagi's cheek.

"We almost lost everything. I must do a better job to protect our home and our future."

"Usa, you can't be every where all the time. From now on, we do it together."

She smiles at her husband. "Together."

"Will everything be fine now, Usa?"

She waves her hand in front of them. An image begins to form in the air. They both turn their attention to the image.

*****

Usagi and Mamoru walk by the lake in the park. A beautiful, bright white, full moon sits high in the sky above them. Usagi stops and gazes up at the moon. "I use to look at the moon and cry. I wrote most of my songs after looking at the moon."

"That is the past, Usako." He looks down at her and the stand in silence just staring at the moon for a while. "May I have this dance, Princess Serenity?" He asks as he bows to her.

"All my dances are yours, Prince Endymion." She answers as she curtsies.

"Let's dance Under the Crystal Moon." He looks at Usagi as she begins to hum the song Under a Crystal Moon. He takes her into his arms and begins to dance with her.
