59. Chapter 14. Honey
Moons.
The awaited ceremony
began, the priest went to the three couples and asked them questions one by
one.
-Robert Malden, do you
accept Berne Malinde as a lawful wife, to love, honor and respect her, sharing
griefs and joys until death do you part.
-Yes, I accept. - He
smiled.
-Beruche Malinde, do you accept Robert Malden as legitimate
husband, to love, honor and respect him, sharing griefs and joys until death do
you part.
-I accept,- the young
woman said, with visible emotion. -
-Thomas Alan Rodney, do
you accept Cooan Malinde by lawful wife, to love her, honor and respect her,
sharing griefs and joys until death do you part.
-Yes, I want to, - he
said, full of joy. -
-Cooan Malinde, do you
accept Thomas Alan Rodney, as legitimate husband, to love, honor and respect
you, sharing griefs and joys until death do you part
-Yes, I love him. - The
girl smiled. -
-Seijuurou Ail Ginga, do
you accept Natsumi Ann Ginga as legitimate wife, to love her, honor and respect
her, sharing griefs and joys until death do you part.
-Yes, of course, - he
said, obviously. -
-Natsumi Ann Ginga, do
you accept Seijuurou Ail Ginga as legitimate husband, to love, honor and
respect him, sharing griefs and joys until death do you part
-Yeah I do. - The
aforementioned declared.-
The
ritual of the rings was completed, and finally, at the same time. Repeating the
usual, with this ring I marry you. At last the priest, smiling slightly, said
more relaxed.
-I've never said this
in the plural, but hey. There is always a first time for everything, sons and
daughters. - And then, more solemnly declared .- Then, and by the authority
that gives me this Holy Church I declare to you, husbands and wives. You can
kiss the brides.
All
the contractors kissed each other between the applause and the cheers of their
guests. Immediately afterwards the great party went to the villa of Roy and
Beruche where the wedding banquet was to be celebrated. Long tables were set in
the garden, covered under canvas tents that were quite elegant in spite of
everything. Needless to say the boys ate at pleasure, thankfully a lot of food had
been ordered. Everyone vowed to the happiness of the couples and Mamoru, had to
deal with him at the request of his friends ...
-The prosy has to say
anything! Let Mamoru speak! - They chanted with joyous rejoicing directed by
Roy.-
-The prosy? - Rei
laughed without understanding.-
-It means that it's a
little bit boring. - Ami smiled amusedly as the rest. -
-I'm sure they say it
for the speeches he gave every time he came to Guerrero Luna's aid! - exclaimed
Minako without being able to avoid laugh .-
-Yes ... that's
unrivaled! -Agreed Makoto.
-It's just that my boy
is great in everything ...- A jovial Usagi said, -Even to speak about dull
things!
The
others could not help their laughter, either. Even the alluded one laughed,
with a good humor, fitting that joke with sportiness. At last he indulged his
friends and officiated as an improvised master of ceremonies by proposing a
toast.
-Well, ladies and
gentlemen,- he said, trying to make himself heard in the din of the banquet as
he lifted his glass. - This time I'll be brief, so I can thank you for your
kind words. - More laughter and once extinguished.-
Mamoru
went on raising his glass.
-For our friends. May
they be very happy and may soon increase our numerous group of fighters for
justice, as Ail and Ann have already done.
Beruche
and Cooan flushed, Tom and Roy smiled and the rest of the group laughed,
nodding approvingly at that proposal.
-Well, Mamo Chan, you have
already made a commitment for these poor! - Cried Usagi with loud laughter when
she added. - It's that the wine do terrible things to your speeches.
-Well, you're not the
best person to talk. - Rei intervened with playful malice. - I remember a party
at an English Lord's house where ...
-Shut up, Rei! - Usagi
cut her off in embarrassment and annoyance. - Do you always have to get into
what you do not care?
-I do the same thing
you do. – Her mate replied showing her tongue to the aforementioned.- Of
course, you do not like to be reminded of your moments of "glory" ...
Ha, ha, ha! ...
Usagi did the same and Mamoru had to
mediate. Makoto and Minako also tried to appease them, meanwhile, Ami tilted
her head in shame and the other sailors looked away as if they knew nothing.
Chibiusa was red, and the Amazon quartet laughed at it.
-The future sovereign
is very funny!- Said Pala-Pala without being able to stop laughing. - She says
really funny things.
-Yes ... we must admit
that whenever we meet with her we had a good time.- Agreed Jun-Jun.-
-Of course, I do not
know at what point in her life my mother changed. - Chibiusa could still say
that she was still blushing. - I just cannot believe it!
-Well, she must still
have some time to mature, Your Highness. - Cere-Cere smiled to assert. - So far
as we have traveled to the past, she still has a very funny sense of humor.
-Well, it's a pity that
this is the last trip we've been doing for a few years. - Ves-Ves lamented. - We
have many obligations in the thirtieth century.
Chibiusa
nodded, they had to deal with a few things in the future. And she missed a
certain person. On the other hand, she was also sorry to leave her friends
here. Although they would try to enjoy it while they could. Parallel to her
reflections, Nephrite elsewhere decided to change gears to settle the incident
between her warrior friends.
-Actually, now that I
think about it, I could have supplied the material for the wedding dresses
myself.- He joked with amusement. -
Before
the group's strangeness, Usagi intervened in understanding what the boy was
referring to.
-Just like when you did
that bridal gown thing to steal energy, did not you?
-Yes. -The boy admitted
with funny gesture, adding with his typical humor English style. - The trouble
is, I do not have the fabric anymore, now that I'd really like to dress someone
with them.- Question of bad timing I
suppose...
Ami
and Rei smiled as well, since they were the only ones who lived through that
event. And the echoes of that remark had not yet ended when Emerald intervened.
-Where are you going to
honeymoon? - She asked curiously to the couples. -
-Annie and I have seen
a planet that seems peaceful. - Ail replied as he watched his son, who slept in
a baby stroller beside him. - I think we'll visit him.
-Yes, we like to travel
the universe, - his wife added. -
-Well, Connie and I
have been thinking between India and Europe and in the end we have almost
decided to go to Hawaii. - Tom replied. - We really want to know the place.
-True, - Cooan agreed
with visible excitement. - Bathing at dusk on one of those beaches of white and
deserted sands, it must be so romantic!
-Maybe they are not so
deserted nowadays. - Her boyfriend said, reminding her. - There's a lot of
tourism.
-Do not take my
romanticism away, you fool! - Cooan smiled giving him a pull on one ear. -
-Oh, okay. Sure we will
find some quiet cove. - He hastened to tint him, with the backdrop of the
laughter of the rest.-
-Well, us. - Roy said
with an arm around his newly declared wife, - we are not sure yet but I think
we will go to Europe. Bertie wants to soak up the history of that continent.
-It is true. I want to
visit some European capitals, see monuments and know a little of its history.
Besides, there will also be very romantic places there, I'm sure. - The girl
affirmed with the same enthusiasm as her little sister. - It will be a nice
experience and very educational.
-Pass through London if
you can. - Nephrite offered. - You'll love it. – And, by the way, we see each
other.
-It would not be a bad
idea. - Bertie said. -
-Come and see us in
Paris too. - Emerald said with interest. - Diamond and I are going to live
there. He can work in the subsidiary of the European Space Agency there and I
have the headquarters of Fashion
Deveraux.
-That is done! - Roy nodded
to his friends' delight, adding convinced and jovial. - Surely we're going to
have fun. We can travel through several cities visiting our friends and stop to
see what we find. Adventure!
Beruche
smiled taking a hand from her husband in his own. The others began to comment
on the different places that they themselves would like to visit. In fact, they
continued to talk for quite some time until very late. They all gave them their
wedding presents, wishing they enjoyed them for many years. Being such a large
group were formed little groups where they chatted with each other and were
exchanging. Usagi, on the other hand, approached the sailors of the outer solar
system who were now talking to Dr. Tomoe.
-Good, daughter. I'm
glad you're doing so well in your studies. It shows that your friends help you
a lot. -He said to Hotaru.-
-Yes, thank you, Dad. -
She replied with obvious joy.-
-I really do not know
how to thank you. During these years I have had a bad time with the accident. I
still have gaps in my memory and my poor daughter was deprived of her mother.-
The doctor lamented, now chatting with the others. -It's a good thing you were
her family.
-You're welcome. For us
it is a pleasure and a pride to be able to help Hotaru. She's a great friend. -
Michiru smiled.-
-I'll sound silly to
you, but mind you I barely remember the last few years with my daughter. As if
she had been a baby when they took her away from me. - Tomoe could say with a
thoughtful expression, as if trying to push his memory, adding not without
regret. - The truth is that I feel caused you so much trouble. For not being
able to take care of my daughter.
- Do not worry. After
what had happened is understandable that you do not remember. But you know that
your daughter is a wonderful girl. - Haruka commented kindly adding with a lot of tenderness coming from her. - We have
been a real family. And that experience would not change for anything.
-Yes, and I called them
Haruka dad and Michiru and Setsuna mom! -Hotaru laugh, making the rest to imitate
her.-
-Hotaru is a very
intelligent and well-educated girl. It's clear that she came out to you,
doctor. -Setsuna finished.-
At that moment Usagi
greeted them jovially.
-Hello girls, how are
you, Mr. Tomoe?
-Very well, thank you
very much. - He replied cordially. - I'm very glad to see you ...
-How are your investigations
going?
-Wonderfully. Now I
work for a large multinational.- The scientist affirmed. - I only wish to
contribute to the improvement of world welfare.
-I'm sure you will. -
Usagi said full of kindness.-
-As you have done, no
doubt.- Affirmed his interlocutor.-
After
smiling kindly to hear that and exchanged a few more words, the newcomer to the
place went to Pluto and commented to her as Haruka and Michiru made an aside to
talk a little more with the doctor and Hotaru.
-Do you have a moment?
I would like to talk to you…
-Of course.
So
the two moved away a little from the bustle, it was Usagi who commented
nonchalantly.
-This party is great!
And I'm very happy for our friends. They will form new families. That is always
very nice.
-Well, you must have
little left to Mamoru and you to do the same. -Setsuna smiled. -
-I do not know.- She
could reply, getting a little blushed. - It still depends on many things. But
it does make us very happy. By the way, have you talked to Chibiusa?
-Yes, a little while
ago. - I was very happy to see her, she has grown a lot. - Pluto said. -
Usagi looked closely at
her fellow, and her face became more serious.
-And you? Have you ever
considered the possibility of forming a family?
That
took Setsuna by surprise. Usagi knew full well the purpose she had as guardian
of the solar system and the space-time portal. Although she was not sure if her
future sovereign ever suspected what she felt ... she just hoped not. Even so she
shook her head and answered quietly.
-My functions as a
warrior do not give me the chance to be with anyone.
-But some boy would
have liked you. Well, I mean ... I guess you like men, do not you? - Inquired
her fellow-citizen with some prevention. - If I may ask you ...
Pluto
felt somewhat violent. She did not know the reason for this kind of
interrogation. Maybe Usagi would have gone so far with the champagne. However,
hearing her speak, she perceived that she did not do so frivolously. That was
not the tone that girl would use to gossip up handsome boys or anything like
that. There had to be something else there. So she stared at her blond fellow
and her eyes met hers. Then, more gravely and respectfully, Setsuna asked.
-Where do you want to
go, Majesty? - I assure you, none of this has ever intervened or will ever
interfere with my mission.
-And what your mission
is? - She asked sharply. -
-You know very well. -
The woman answered with obvious discomfort, as she explained. - Protect you,
King Endymion and the Small Lady. And to watch the space-time portal. Although
now sealed by the power of Father Cronos, it cannot be neglected so I can´t lost
sight of it.
Her
interlocutor sighed, it seemed that she had to say something very important and
that she was gathering the courage to do it. That way finally Usagi stated.
-Your Majesty King
Endymion, and I, as Queen Serenity, have to ask you a great favor. A great
service if you prefer. It is something very sacrificed, and you will not be
able to comment with anyone, except with the king and I. And not with anyone
else. At least until you fulfill the assignment that we have to assign you. And
it will be something that will take you a long, long time.
-Time is something that
has never bothered me.- The questioner
smiled faintly. - And if it is for the good of the future of the Kingdom of
neo-Tokyo, Earth, and the solar system, I will do as you ask. My own life is at
your disposal, if that is what it is. – Setsuna declared with no hesitation.-
Although
to her surprise, that girl seemed to speak again like Usagi now, since she
laughed by taking a hand to her neck and exclaimed.
-Well, woman ... It's
not that bad! I assure you it will not be any drama ...
The
guardian of the time looked at her with her mouth open, she was really very
disconcerted. In that moment Mamoru joined them. The young man greeted politely
and once he was aware of the conversation they were having, he said.
-You will see Setsuna,
we have meditated this with care and, in our opinion, you are the only one
qualified to carry out this mission successfully.
-As I told to her
Majesty the Queen. I am at your entire disposal. - The sailor replied
categorically. You command and I will obey you. -She said with a bow of
reverence. -
But
soon her interlocutors dissuaded her to do it, Usagi even managed to hold her
by one arm so that she would not kneel ...
-That's not necessary
here. We are in the celebration of some friends. -She stated in a low voice. -
-Do not worry,
Setsuna. We thank you as always for the fidelity and dedication you show in
everything you do for us. However, now is not the time to inform you more about
it or give you details. Later we will do it.- Mamoru added.-
-And when should I
receive instructions? - The girl wanted to know.-
-You will know my
friend, do not doubt about it.- Usagi smiled,
now placing a hand on the right shoulder of her friend. - And as the king says.
Thank you very much for your loyalty. I assure you that we really appreciate
you.
Setsuna
nodded gratefully at the words. She had no idea about what kind of mission she could
be entrusted with by their sovereigns. In any case she would perform the best she
knew and as far as she had to go to meet it. At least Serenity did not seem to
be aware of how her loyal warrior blushed in the presence of King Endymion. For
a long time the lonely guardian of the space-time door could not help but feel
something very deep toward this kind and attractive man. Yet she always knew
that love was forbidden. So she sighed trying to control her heartbeat. Luckily
she did not have time to chat anymore. Chibiusa and the asteroids were coming
in very good mood. They laughed at the jokes of their friends and exchanged
anecdotes. This time it was Mamoru who came forward to tell her future
daughter.
-How is everything?
Have you talked to our friends?
-A lot, they're very
nice, especially Roy. He's always teasing everyone! – The girl laughed.- And
Cooan was very happy to see me. Her boyfriend, well, her husband already, is
also a very nice guy.
-I'm glad.- Mamoru smiled, adding now. - As soon as the
ceremony is over, I suppose you'll return to the future with the Asteroids.
-Yes, - the girl sighed,
adding, - I'm going to miss you all. - But at least I'll have the Amazons on my
side.-
-Do you know if you
have anything to do there? - Mamoru wanted to know. -
-I think that before
coming, the sovereigns, that is, you in the future, told me that I would expect
a mission of great importance. - The girl replied. -
-That's right. - His
interlocutor agreed, placing both hands on the girl's shoulders and referring
to her. - You and the Amazons have met the person you must deal with, but now
the situation it's very different. It has to start again and your fundamental
task will be to direct it towards the good, to advise that person properly and
to be close friends. For now I cannot tell you anything else. In the future
they will catch you up. Then you will return to the past, but to one placed a
few years later than the moment you are now. There you will find who you will
have to protect. And you should spend a lot of time with that person to make
sure that everything goes well. Well, you and the Amazons.
-Yes, You can be sure
that I'll do my best. - The girl nodded.
-
-Both Usagi and I have
full confidence in you. You already have experience and you are a great girl,
Chibiusa.- Her future father replied with approval.-
The
girl could not help blushing, she loved receiving such compliments, especially
if they came from Mamoru. Well, she had to control herself, and remember that
he was his father of the future. Also, as soon as she returned, she could pay a
visit to the Elision's guardian. She nodded and smiled.
-You will see how I
will not disappoint you.
-We're sure of it, - her
interlocutor nodded. -
-Yes. We count on you
and the Asteroids.- Usagi Added.-
-Of course.- Bes, Bes
said. -
-We will not fail you,
you will see, - added Jun-jun.-
-We're great warriors.
- Para-Para said with enthusiasm. -
-And we have
experience. We will help the princess in the task that you have entrusted her.
Whatever it will be. - Cere- Cere asserted.-
-And you ?. - Chibiusa
smiled, turning to her dear friend who had moved away from the bustle. -Have my
future parents also given you a mission? -
-Well! you know how
they are. They wanted to ask me if I was having fun at the party. – Pluto could
replied.-
Chibiusa
nodded, though she could not help but smirk. Poor Setsuna did not know how to
lie. She supposed she would not be allowed to talk. So she let it be. Anyway,
they stopped talking about that topic since Roy and Tom also came up to greet
each other to see if everything was all right. Of course they were told yes.
Usagi approached them in turn and even joked that not even she could take more
canapés. So they continued for a long time. Interchanging in more little chat
groups and in a very jovial atmosphere. Then both Mamoru and the warriors,
Chibiusa and the Amazons took their leave. Then the others. Each of the
newlywed couples went to spend their wedding night. When, after a time, their
respective experiences could be found and told again, things had been that way.
Ail
and Ann marched on a planet beyond the solar system, but it was not as heavenly
as they imagined. They had to deal with strange beings and the most surprising
thing is that they found many of their fellow creatures they had long believed
to be extinct. And after a first test moment for both they managed to teach
their "brothers" as it really love was. They remembered that, without
going further, one of them, named Eril, approached curiously to Ann and asked.
-What if I wanted to
woo one of ours in the human way, what should I do?
-Well, that depends on
what she's like. - Annie said. - Try to know what things you like, if you care
and be kind to her. Things like that.
-Look, - Ail explained,
hugging his wife and giving her a long kiss on the lips. - It's something like
that.
-Do not be so quick,
Ail! - Annie smiled a little astonished to tint her perplexed pupil. - Before
that you have to take other steps.
-Well, I cannot understand,
- said Eril, feeling rather confused. -
-Look, why do not you
call a girl so we can explain it to both of us? - Ail suggested with a wicked
smile.
- What an idea you
have! - Annie reproached him as they watched Eril go to meet that suggestion. -
-Come on, Annie, we're
going to laugh,- said his rather amusing
companion thinking about that idea. -
And
of course that caused laughs but also produced more dramatic and emotional
moments ... Finally everything went well and both returned enriched with the experience.
As Tom and Cooan concerned, they went
to Hawaii, they explained that they did not turn out to be a very orthodox
Honeymoon either. But they did not want to give too many details. Although the
most important thing was the first day of arrival. They stayed in a luxurious
hotel that was very close to the sea. He, helped by a bellman, put his
suitcases down, gave him a splendid tip. The bellboy, a dark-skinned boy with
the typical features of the natives of the islands, smiled and hurried to thank
him.
-If you and your wife
need anything, do not hesitate to call me to ask. Ah! and congratulations, I
wish you much happiness.- He added with a wide and helpful smile. -
-Thanks a lot, boy. -
Tom smiled, too, as he asked. - Please, can you tell my wife to wait at the
door? Thank you.
The
bellman nodded as he left the room, which corresponded to a bungalow attached
to the hotel that Tom had booked a couple of weeks ago. Cooan was warned by
that boy and called her husband from the entrance.
-I am here honey. Will
I have to wait a long time? - She wanted to know between surprised and curious.
-
-I will delay little,
my love, - he said quickly. - I'm right with you. Please, wait a little longer.
He
had ordered a dinner consisting of seafood, lobster, pineapples and other
typical products of the place. He had also arranged candles and garlands of
flowers distributed in two collars. In a bucket two bottles, one of rosé wine
of good harvest and another one of champagne of excellent quality. A skirt of
reeds and a beach wrap, on a screen that was near the bed, completed the set.
When everything was ready the boy approached the door and lifted his wife in
his arms.
-Well, Mrs. Rodney. -
He said in a whisper, - you can go in. – Then Cooan opened her eyes and looked
at all that smiling happy.- Tom let her sit on one of the comfortable armchairs
and he did the same on the other who was facing her. They served themselves and
began to dine. The rays of the setting sun filtered through the windows through
the blinds that covered them partially. The girl looked at the flowers and the
skirt on the screen. Tom told her.
-You'll look very
pretty, I'm sure. They told me it was a local custom, to decorate the bride
like that.
With a smile, the girl
got up and passed behind the screen, making her skirt and flowers.
-Wait for me a moment.
- She begged her husband to wait steadily for the silhouette he could see
behind that faint paper. - I will not be long ...
Cooan
shifted behind the screen, leaving her clothes on it, as well as the flowers
and skirt on the top of it. She came out splendid, sporting her body with no
more clothes than the cane skirt and the necklace of flower garlands that
concealed part of her breasts. She walked toward him, gesturing to the Hawaiian
welcome dance with which they were presented upon arrival. Her husband pushed
the chair away from the table and sat her on his knees, they kissed each other
and then, standing up, watched the sunset over the ocean together. After
sunset, they went to bed. Tom stripped his wife of flowers and skirt gently,
while she took off his clothes ...
Roy and Beruche began
their adventures by taking a plane to Europe. After passing through the United
Kingdom and greeting Nephrite, they accepted the invitation of their friends
and visited Paris for a few days, together with Diamond and Esmeralda that
showed the city to them. The model and designer was more and more successful
and Bertie was delighted to attend one of the parades of her boss in the
Deveraux house. Roy and Diamond on their part toured many places in and around
Paris. The prince of Nemesis advised his friend about good wines out there.
Then the newlyweds went to Spain. First they visited Barcelona, they
continued to Madrid and other Spanish provinces, going through some other
adventure in the center of the country that they preferred to keep for their
own memories, as well as Tom and Cooan with theirs. Later they continued
towards Seville. Roy, who could speak Spanish, communicated with the people
without problems, enjoying the open, witty, jocular, and kind character of
these people that looked a lot like his own. Beruche also had a wonderful time,
seeing monuments with which she filled photo books and attending some typical
shows from each province and especially from the Andalusian capital. They
returned to the hotel in Seville, tired after a long day touring the city. But
the boy still had a surprise, he brought Bertie out on the balcony.
-What's wrong, Roy? -
I'm very tired. She said as she peered out. -
-What a beautiful
sight! - he indicated pointing to the famous Giralda and Guadalquivir river
that glowed with golden reflections to the sunset .- Do not you think this is beautiful?
-Yes Roy, -his wife
agreed with a smile, adding delighted. -It is something wonderful!
They heard a murmur
under them and he looked down, indicated in Spanish.
- Ahora muchachos. (Now
boys!)
A
melody that accompanied a song began to play. The boy was taken down by a fire
bar and joined the singers, were the famous Spanish Tunos of the University of
Seville.
-You're incredible! - She
smiled, excited, amused, and even blushed, while Roy translated into English
the lyrics of the song. –
"Carnations,
carnations,
Carnations of my heart.
I bring you some
carnations today
Colored like a
strawberry.
If someday
I could not bring you,
Do not think I do not
love you anymore,
It's just that I could
not bring them ... "
At the end, the Tunos
gave the boy one of their cloaks and a boot of wine from which he was taught to
drink, and for Beruche a large bouquet of flowers. He corresponded inviting
them to dinner at the hotel and after taking some pictures with them, then went
up with his wife.
- Now, honey. We're
going to celebrate our last night of vacation all over. – So he lifted his wife
in his arms as she screamed and laughed playfully and they both lay on the bed.
-
And
so, everyone enjoyed a magnificent Honeymoon, but time flew by and it was time
to rejoin the normal life, even if they were already married. Ail and Ann,
after some more avatars settled in that planet but of regular form visited to
their friendly of the Earth, that yes, spacing more and more the visits, since
they had to take care of their family that was increased years later with the
birth of a girl, whom they called Naya. Tom and Cooan moved definitively to the
west coast, specifically to Oregon, near Portland. He set up his long-sought
martial arts gym that made a great reputation and Cooan continued her job as a
daycare teacher and was loved by all her students. As for Roy and Beruche, he
continued playing in the Knicks and became an excellent professional. Almost
achieving with his team a ring in the following season because they were
finalists of the league. Beruche continued to teach at an institute in a very
conflictive area of the city. But with her courage and determination,
together with her great understanding and vocation for teaching, she soon
gained the respect and attention of her students. Unfortunately, it was very
seldom that the friends could be seen in those years, and most because of
situations of force majeure to defend the Earth from several threats. This time
it was a gigantic meteorite that could be destroyed thanks to the combined
effort of the group and the invaluable help of a new character who appeared as
mysteriously as Leval himself. It was another saiyajin and what it was a
surprise for all to discover that this newcomer, named Lornd, was nothing less
than the older brother of the own Roy, or Asthel, as he called his younger
brother. He was still stronger than his brother, and he was in rather harsh
ways, though that seemed to him at first sight. The truth is that he surprised
everyone proving to be more sentimental and sensitive than his facade of hard
warrior showed. During that crisis he spent some time with his newly reunited
family and then said goodbye. But he did not go alone, in those weeks he met
the sailors and made a good relationship in particular with Pluto, the oldest
and most solitary of them. They both left to patrol the solar system and
beyond, in anticipation of Gralas' new attacks, for it was the name of that
slippery alien that was behind that
seemingly natural cataclysm. Just as he had been the promoter of the androids
that the boys managed, not without great effort, to destroy. As a result of all
this, the city was practically devastated again, but, as it could not be
otherwise, the reconstruction work was already advanced and the preventive
measures gave results, mitigating the foreseeable destruction. For example, a
huge retaining wall, made for this purpose, protected the Bay of New York from
the great sea waves that came as a result of that meteorite blasting. At that
time they continued to know nothing of Karaberasu's whereabouts, although
unofficial sources learned that she was well.
There
was also an opportunity for them to have separate adventures. Like one that
Emerald referred to her friends on one of the few occasions when they met
without battles.
-You'll see girls. It
turns out that Masters, the eccentric millionaire, took a fancy to me, bought
all my designs and even kidnapped me by taking me to an island he owned. This
happened a little after the invasion of these androids. In fact he wanted to
attract Diamond to get his computer skills and seduce me. But I must admit that
he was a nice man and very polite. Very classy. Deep down he's not a bad
person, he's just tried to do things the wrong way.
-Very wrong? - Petz
asked with malicious remarks. -
-Actually Diamond did
not like him! - Her interlocutor smiled. -
-And did you get on
well with him? - Cooan asked curiously . -
-What? - Emerald asked,
not quite understanding what she meant. -
-Seducing you, the
millionaire. - Bertie confidentially clarified because she had picked up the
nuance of the matter. -
-The truth is, yes. - She
admitted softly. The other girls covered their mouths so as not to laugh. -But
not in the way you're sure to imagine, you rascals! - A blushing Emerald added.
- In fact, the matter got out of hand. He wanted to experiment with the
remnants of the remaining technology of those enemy robots of the future. And
one got out of control. Thank goodness Diamond could beat it.
-Fortunately,
everything ended well. - Cooan sighed. -
-Yes, although you
already know Diamante when his mind is formed. He thought Masters was a really
unreliable guy. Although later we met his secretary, a very nice girl.
Jennifer, her name is, she managed to persuade my restless boyfriend to forget
it and work for him.
-Yes, Jenny! We know
who she is. Goodness! Of course that girl is quite convincing. - Beruche
affirmed.-
The
others agreed on that. Of course she was a great girl, intelligent,
enthusiastic and capable of achieving almost anything she set out to do. It was
not surprising that, shortly afterwards, the same millionaire would fall in
love with her and ask her for marriage. That wedding did go all out and the
whole group of friends was certainly invited. Howeve,r there were more links and
dating still. Sentimental matters were also lavished, as much or more than the
struggles to defend the Earth. On another occasion it was Tom's younger
brother, Daniel, who met a somewhat crazy girl who had been a former enemy of
the sailors. The two fell in love and became a couple. What was very celebrated
by their friends and relatives
Finally,
overcoming these adversities seemed that fate gave them a truce that everyone
enjoyed returning to their chores and daily lives with pleasure.
After a year, Petz and
Sapphire got married, they had a very interesting trip to South America,
although they frightened all their friends and family, since it was impossible
to contact them during this time. Diamond and Emerald also contracted nuptials
although they limited to spend their honeymoon in Europe, visiting that yes, to
their friend Nephrite that received to them in the company of which later would
be his wife, Amanda Thompson. Everyone gathered again for the wedding, and then
they separated again, this time more clearly, as each couple had already made
their own life. But after a time a new event would bring them back together. As
Mamoru predicted, it was time for the number of the defenders of justice to
increase. The first to contribute to this, although the rest did not know, was
Karaberasu who had given birth a few years earlier. No one had heard news again
and they would not know it until much later. The next one was going to be
Beruche, who she became pregnant the year and a half of her wedding. Cooan was
also going to be pregnant a few months later. Bertie at first was not very sure
but her gynecologist confirmed it. Then she went crazy with joy but with her
usual mastery of the gesture and her apparent coldness, she waited sitting on
the sofa watching the television quietly for Roy to come from his training.
After half an hour, her husband came almost on the run, saluting with the usual
impetus.
-Hi dear! , I'm home. -
He announced loudly, took Bertie in his arms and kissed her. - Hmm, how much
fun do I get going? He gasped. -
-Be careful, you fool!
- She asked that far from bothering added smiling. - You're going to crush me.
You must be softer with your little woman.
-Come now! - Roy said,
rising between laughter and joking. - Are you going to tell me that a girl as
hard as you and who has fought against so many dangers, will be afraid of being
chaffed a little affectionately?
-That's not why, -the
girl said as well as she answered. - I do not say it just for me, Roy, there is
a certain person inside. - He pointed out her gut in which nothing could be
appreciated yet and concluded barely able to contain her happy expression - to
which you can do much harm and I still do not believe that can become super
warrior, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Then
her husband at first seemed to misunderstand, he had left her again on the
couch and himself had sat looking at her in disbelief. The boy was astonished,
however, at last he understood what his wife had meant. After a moment a flash
flashed through his head. His eyes widened and he jumped up like a spring.
-Are you telling me
that you? ... Are you? - Beruche nodded, still laughing. - Oh no! I mean, yeah,
well, I cannot believe it! - He exclaimed jumping all over the room while
repeating euphoric. -You are pregnant? Is that? OMG! , I cannot believe it.
- Believe it, it's not
that difficult. - Replied the girl who added even more joy at seeing her
husband's face. - Do you understand now why you should be more careful with me,
you fool? .Hi, hi, hi.
-You, I… have I hurt
you? -her husband stammered, crisscrossing the fingers of his hands as if to
pray. He was very nervous and even worried. - Forgive me, I did not want to do
it, I do not calculate my strength well oh no, I'm stupid! Are you really okay?
- Beruche nodded with laughter as he continued to ask visibly uneasy. - Does
not it hurt you?
Roy's
face was a poem, he paced the room. What if he had hurt his wife and child
because of his impetus and his childhood games? Bertie got up by taking him by
the arm and told him more calmly and softly.
- Calm down, do not be
silly, man. If it was just a joke, you have not squeezed me so hard. Believe
me, the baby will stand it. I know it very well. Our child have the blood of a saiyajin.
The boy sighed
relieved, hugging his wife, yes, very carefully. He lifted her gently in his
arms and led her into the bedroom, and declared something more calm but glowing
with joy.
- For tonight and for
some time we will be very careful, we have to take good care of you. Tell me if
you want anything and I'll bring it to you.
Roy. - Beruche smile shaking her head .- I am the
same as always and also today I fancy a lot too.
-Whatever! - He
answered him solicitously. - An ice cream, a yogurt!
- That's not, you stupid,
you're what I want! - Bertie kissed him closing the bedroom door behind them. –
And
that was a great night. They were both immensely happy because all their wishes
finally came true. Finally, married, living together and in peace, (except for
some interruptions produced by some adventures that always solved well). They
were both getting ahead in their respective careers. Roy as a player
increasingly valued and applauded by all spectators and coaches. Although, due
to some issues that he had to solve sometimes with his friends and even the
help of the Justicieras, he had to pretext some injury not to play the matches
that coincided with his interventions as a warrior (If not, they would have won
the final). But he knew that he would have more opportunities to play and the
first thing for him was Earth and family. Bertie, on the other hand, combined
well her actions like Justiciera practically in solitary, as the rest of the
girls, each by her side in diverse parts of the world. However, the frequency
with which she came into action was reduced to the knowledge of her pregnancy.
Now both young people felt the peak of happiness. This was all they had left to
fulfill their dreams! Although none of them used to say it aloud, they expected
it to be a small Leval. And Beruche ended up leaving her activities as Justiciera
for as long as her pregnancy lasted and even after to attend to her baby, when she
had him. She also studied the proposal that some people made her to move from
the school where she used to work to a quieter and better paid private one.
Being able to enjoy an atmosphere more appropriate to her new condition and being
able to better serve to her growing family.
So
it could be said that the joy of the couple was seconded by that of their
friends in all parts of the world. Each one with their projects and their hopes
that were being fulfilled as well. Nevertheless, they never finished lowering
the guard since now they were practically the greater guarantors of the
security of the planet since even the group of the sailors seemed to have
dissolved. Chibiusa returned to her future, Mamoru traveled to the United
States again to study medicine. Ami did the same, although she considered going
to Germany in the first place then decided to study and even to study her
doctorate in North America. The others (including Usagi) were more than
determined to prepare to be someone in their future. Rei took over the
sanctuary and with her sensibility and fortune-telling she became a respected
figure throughout Japan. Sometimes she also acted as singer with her friend
Minako, using the pseudonym of Reiko. Makoto successfully set up her florist
and coffee shop business. Flowers & Flawours she called it. Petz helped her
as much as she could and they both spent a lot of time together recommending
the other's establishments to her clients. As for Minako had problems with
Queen Serenity and King Endymion by not following the instructions that had
been marked. She wanted to locate and help Karaberasu. In fact she managed to
see the young woman even though she did not speak to her. That cost her being
suspended for almost a couple of years and that Artemis lost his status as
emissary of the Moon, being reduced to the status of common feline and current.
Despite this, the girl continued on with her life and career. She became a
successful singer and actress in Japan to further her fame to the rest of the
world. A short time later everything would be solved and recovered her place
among the sailors, just as Artemis his special gifts. As for the sailors of the
outer solar system, Setsuna had gone with Roy's brother into space, and
although they returned with a certain frequency they had established their
field of action at a great distance and they would still be farther away when they
discovered, even with saiyajin, the planet of Lornd´s ancestors. After some
hard tests he regained his throne and she was accepted by that tough and
demanding people. Later they all went to the wedding of that saiyajin with Setsuna,
who had to resign to her position as guardian to become the queen of the planet
New Vegeta. In this way the warriors of space signed a solemn pact of
friendship with the Earth and the Moon. Represented by the future sovereigns of
Crystal Tokyo and that eccentric millionaire that so many headaches gave
Diamond at the time. It was one of the few occasions when Roy, Bertie, the rest
of the friends and sailors met, and further away from Earth.
On
the other hand, the companions of Pluto, Uranus and Neptune, both settled for
free of the rest, once exempted of the responsibility to take care of Hotaru
that stayed with her father and her new wife, who was rescued by Diamond of the
hell of Tau. Tomoe´s daughter had already become an attractive young woman with
dark mane and violet eyes. She was practically the only sailor who was still
active. Her companions, Haruka and Michiru, at last free of other burdens,
dedicated themselves to live adventures together and to continue their careers.
One in the world of competition, dedicated to motorcycling and the other in her
violin recitals and her painting exhibitions.
Only
a few years later, Chibiusa, already a young teenager of beauty comparable to
that of her mother, returned from the future with her guardians, the sailor
asteroids, who had taken over from the previous generation of warriors. She had
been busy training herself to be a good princess, and in the following years
she also worked as a mentor to another young queen whom she would introduce to
her friends over time.
To sum up. All these
adventures that lived the different protagonists, would be very long to tell,
each one has his or her own history and must be narrated in other times and
circumstances. Especially because events were happening rapidly in their normal
way and the course of life, went on.
