	They did it!!!! The sealed away Chaos and defeated Galaxia!! (not that there was any doubt that the would, or anything....) Great post Strker!!! I loved how they all worked together at the very end to destroy Galaxia. All that power....I sorta feel sorry for her. I can't wait for the next part of story, but I may miss it because I'm leaving on vacation today, and I'll be gone for two weeks, and I'm not sure if I'll have internet access. But I'll play catch up when I get back, so don't think I've left! -----signature----- "Do or do not.

	Yay! This time I only had two chapters to get caught up on! I’m not doing half as bad as I was before. I have to giggle whenever one of the guys is called Tuxedo… especially Zekk. Tuxedo Ennth… it just makes me giggle, for some reason. Suddenly, all four starseeds glowed and expanded into humanoid shapes. The light from each one faded, revealing Luke, Tionne, Haruka and Michiru. The Jedi Master looked over to his wife and sister. “Miss me?” he half-joked. AHHHHHH! blinks YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA! He looked over his brother-in-law and quipped, “Nice tux.” Oh man, I love Luke. “Yavin Star Power Makeup!” “Uranus Crystal Power Makeup!” “Neptune Crystal Power Makeup!” All three women were enveloped by a flash of light, and when it faded, Sailors Yavin, Uranus and Neptune stood there. Galaxia held up her hands and they glowed with unreleased power. “I’m going to roast your souls in Hell!” she shouted. “Prepare for oblivion!” Oh dear, right when I thought things were getting better… The action never stops, does it? Although, I do love your action sequences. They’re always highlights, just as much as your splashes of humour are. Okay, and now it is time to celebrate. They finally beat Chaos and Galaxia! Hooray! tosses Internet confetti Awesome update! -----signature----- Nat is my new Muse. Yes, you may have one of those flowy Greek-robe things you say you can't spell.

	Ding-dong the witch is dead! Provocative... but do you really wanna provoke Hotaru??? Hmm . . . provoke a girl who can destroy the universe . . . tempting, but nah. Great to see Luke's back in business and kicking butt in his James Bond uniform look-alike. Every guy looks better kicking butt in tuxedoes. Galaxia truly lost her mind there, she was completely unredeemable. Still, you do kinda wish it was possible that someone could've gotten through to her . . . but I suppose this is for the best. Her mind-slaves aren't mind-slaves anymore, thankfully. I can't wait to see what the next arc will bring. Hope Galaxia's defeat means that Hotaru and Anakin will have nice, long happy lives ahead of them. -----signature----- Padawan of princess_of_naboo E-married to the amazing padawanlost Member of Charon_Force The Incubus Cries: http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/30141520/p1/?18

	SSM12-Yup. Stronger together, the motto of the Jedi and Senshi. And yeah, Galaxia screwed herself there. Ah, well. Pride goeth before the fall. Taeniaea-Thank you! They're not grandparents... yet. Lady_Jade-Yup, the Senshi is dead. Nope, not much doubt there. And don't worry, just have a good vacation. Idrelle-Yeah, it puts a smirk on my face whenever they get called that. Yup, he's back-and it's not contrived, either. Straight from Sailor Moon. Glad you like the action sequences, too. r_c-Good idea about not provoking Hotaru, Mac. yes, thay all look... dashing. Yes, Galaxia was beyond help at that point, sad to say. And everyone is free. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS! On Saturday the 18th, I will be flying from New Hampshire to Utah to meet DarthIsthar... and a whole bunch of other people. So, no new post next Sunday. Sorry, folks. But if you're behind, you can catch up at least. Also, I won best collab with rebel_cheese, Charlemagne19, Flowerlady and Padawanlost for our NJO AU 'Edge of the Abyss'. I am humbled and glad. And grateful to me co-authors. Now, an extra long post. This thing is 25 pages before putting it up here! It ends the current arc, so next post will be an all-new one! Here we go! *** Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru stood in front of their destroyed house while Anakin, Tomo and Tahiri stood behind the pair, not sure what to do or say. The tomboyish woman clenched her fist in the air. “It’ll take a month to fix this!” she growled out. Michiru patted her on the shoulder. “There, there. The house can be fixed.” She held her hands up to her face as if in prayer and her sea-blue eyes sparkled as she imagined the work. “I can redecorate-and buy all-new furniture!” Haruka rolled her eyes and turned away from the house, muttering all the while. While the two adults ‘talked’, the four teens walked around the devastated front yard. Tahiri glanced at Anakin and Hotaru out of the corner of her eye. The two were holding hands and were almost touching shoulders. She let out a rather loud sigh and crossed her arms. “Are you two finished?” Hotaru’s violet eyes turned to her friend. “Sorry,” she muttered, not quite sure what to do or say around Tahiri. Tahiri rolled her eyes. “I was kidding!” She walked over and tried to hit Hotaru on the top of her head, but the Senshi of death was too quick. She grabbed Tahiri’s arm and pulled her in for a noogie. “Argh!” she cried out. “I’m getting a noogie!“ Anakin and Tomo both stifled a laugh, causing Tahiri and Hotaru to turn their heads and glare at the two. The young man ran his finger along his collar and backed up for a few steps before turning and running from the two. “Come back here!” Tahiri shouted, shaking her fist. Hotaru cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted, “We’re gonna get you!” Tomo simply looked on with her violet eyes and shook her head. “They never changed,” she observed before a grin blossomed on her pale features. “I’m so glad!” *** Luke, Mara and Rei sat around a table in the living area of the temple. Luke read a datapad and conferred with Mara before turning to Rei. “I believe you have all shown yourselves to be exemplary Jedi Knights. After one final test, there shall be a graduation ceremony for you two weeks before the wedding.” Rei's midnight-black eyes went wide. She straightened up and bowed her head at the Jedi Masters. “I shall be honored,” she said. Mara’s eyes fell upon Rei. “You’ve gotten over your anger problems quite well, Rei. Your mother is proud of you.” Rei's mouth turned upward in a wistful smile at her words. “I believe you’re right, Mistress Jade.” She looked down and checked her watch. “I’d better get the back courtyard ready for when everyone shows up.” She rose to her feet, but was surprised when Mara also got to her feet. “We’ll help you,” she said. “I like that yard a lot.“ At that, Luke also sprang to his feet. “Oh, no you don’t!” Mara looked over in shock. “What-“ The Jedi Master cut her off with a wave of his hand. “You are in no condition to do anything, Mara!” She began to protest, but Luke crossed his arms in front of his chest and shook his head. “I mean it,” he said, a slight scowl on his face. He helped Mara sit back down at the table before walking off with Rei. She scowled for a moment, but it quickly turned into one of thought. It might not be so bad, having farmboy wait on me hand and foot for eight and a half months! ***** Jaina and Usagi sat on the couch, both utterly exhausted. “I can’t believe Galaxia was corrupted,” Usagi pouted. Jaina sighed. “I feel awful about it too, but she couldn’t be saved. We tried-“ Usagi quickly cut her off. “No! There is no try!” She turned her head to the side and grimaced, taking a moment to compose herself. “Isn’t that what you taught me?” The brown-haired woman nodded, albeit reluctantly. “Yeah. We wanted to save Galaxia. She simply didn’t want to be saved.” Zekk and Mamoru sat at the table in the kitchen, the two men discussing their lives over two cups of orange juice. “You lost your memory at age six?” Zekk asked. Mamoru nodded and took a sip of juice. “Yes. It was in an auto accident that also killed my parents.” Zekk shook his head, sending his ponytail swishing about his shoulders. “My own parents were killed during a groundquake on my homeworld of Ennth. I don’t remember much about them.” Mamoru mulled his words before he raised his glass in a toast. “To our parents, then. May they be one with the Force.” Zekk nodded and clinked his glass with Mamoru’s before downing the rest of his juice. He set the glass down with a thud and stood up. “Let’s go, ladies. Time’s a wasting.” Usagi looked over with her big, blue eyes. Her lips quivered as she spoke. “Aw, come on! Can’t we have five more minutes?” Jaina nodded and stifled a yawn. “Yeah. I’m still a bit tired.” Zekk exchanged a glance with Mamoru. “Do you have to go through this every day?” The guardian of Earth hung his head. “You have no idea,” he meekly said. ***** Two hours later Everyone gathered at Rei's temple. After a few minutes of idle chitchat, Luke stepped out to the middle of the group and everyone quieted down. His wise eyes scanned the crowd as he spoke. “I must say, first off, how proud I am of all of you. Chaos shall not be free for another ten billion years, and when it does manage to free itself, we shall be ready.” He cleared his throat before continuing. “In two weeks, we’ll be leaving for Yavin IV. We’ll have a graduation ceremony for you, followed by Jacen and Tenel Ka’s wedding. Is there anything pressing that must be attended to?” Haruka raised her arm. “We’ll have to get a construction company over to our house before we leave. That way we’ll have a house ready for when we get back.” Minako also raised her hand and cleared her throat, gaining everyone‘s attention. “I’ll have to tell my manager that after this brief tour, I’ll be unavailable for a bit.” Her bright blue eyes suddenly brightened and she pointed up. “Oh! You’ll have to attend my farewell concert before we leave!” Leia turned to Han. “Han, make a note on that.” Han rolled his eyes at her and sighed. “Yes, dear.” Hotaru stepped forward. The young woman shifted a bit before speaking. “Umm, I have something I’d like to announce.” Everyone turned to her, and she felt herself blush. “After this year, I’ll only have one more year of high school. When I graduate, I’m going to the reality with the New Republic.” Shock played over Haruka and Michiru’s face. “Are you sure?” Michiru asked. The petite teen nodded. “I want to be with Anakin,” she said, glancing at him. Anakin’s blue eyes flashed in support and he smiled. “Thank you.” he said, reaching out to take her hand in his. Hotaru looked down and mumbled incoherently, her face glowing. Setsuna looked over at Chibi-Usa and Tomo. “Shouldn’t you two be going?” she asked. “You know the rules about time travel.“ Chibi-Usa shook her head. “Nope!” She stuck her hand into her pocket and pulled out an old holograph. She held it up to the light and it glowed. It showed a wedding party in front of the Great Temple on Yavin IV. Setsuna’s eyes narrowed as she saw both Tomo and Chibi-Usa in the front row. She ran her fingers through her long, dark green hair and sighed. “Well, if you were meant to be there, I guess you can stay.” Chibi-Usa and Tomo jumped up and cheered. Jacen spoke up. “Well, what are we waiting for?” Luke glanced back at his nephew and grinned. “Nothing, Jacen.” He motioned to the door with his cybernetic right hand. “We have much to prepare for.” His eyes went glassy as a vision assaulted him… Jaina stood at a balcony overlooking a courtyard with Zekk by her side, both were dressed in formal wear. The scene expanded to that of a planet that shouldn’t be there. The vision shrank again, but instead of focusing on Jaina and Zekk again, he saw Mamoru and Usagi. He was struck by how youthful they looked and how mature both couples carried themselves. He then saw Sailor Senshi and Jedi Knights fighting side by side against some unknown enemy. Some of them were familiar to him, others not… Luke felt his shoulder being shook. He blinked his eyes twice, finally coming out of his daze. He looked over his shoulder and saw Leia there. “Are you all right?” she asked. Luke breathed out and groaned. “How did the old Jedi Masters handle sudden disorienting visions?” he whined. ***** One day before takeoff Tokyo Stadium was jam packed for the final concert of Aino Minako’s tour. Two whole skyboxes had to be reserved to fit everyone in. Leia and Han sat together and looked down. “We haven’t done this in quite a bit,” he whispered, wrapping his arm around her. Leia snuggled in close and took a handful of popcorn. “We should do it more often,” she said, taking a mouthful of the popped kernels. Her brown eyes crossed as she tasted it. “Oh, this is so good!” On stage, Minako’s band did some final tuning before the first song. Anakin pointed to the middle of the stage as a trap door opened and a platform raised. “Here she comes.” Twenty-nine pairs of eyes simultaneously rolled into the backs of their heads when they saw her stage costume. Minako wore a silvery Sailor Fuku with a bright orange bow on front and an equally bright neon-orange miniskirt. She even held a microphone that was shaped rather like her transformation wand. Orange sandals and elbow-length gloves completed the ensemble. She waved to the crowd and spoke into the microphone. “Thank you, thank you all! This is the final concert of my ‘warrior of love’ tour, but I’ll be back with a new album in a month.” The crowd roared its approval, and Minako launched into her number one hit, ‘Moonlight Densetsu.’ GOMEN NE sunao ja nakute (I'm sorry I'm not candid.) Yume no naka nara ieru (I can say it if in my dreams.) Shikou kairo wa SHO-TO sunzen (My thoughts are about to short circuit.) Ima sugu aitai yo (I want to see you right now!) Nakitaku naru you na moonlight (I'm just about to cry – moonlight) Denwa mo dekinai midnight (I can't call you, either – midnight) Datte junjou doushiyou (But I have a simple heart, so what can I do?) HA-TO wa mangekyou (My heart is a kaleidoscope.). Tsuki no hikari ni michibikare (With the light of the moon to guide us,) Nandomo meguriau (We’ll be brought together by fate many times over.) Seiza no matataki kazoe (Counting the twinklings of the constellations) Uranau koi no yukue (is how I foretell love's whereabouts.) Onaji kuni ni umareta no (Born on the same earth) MIRAKURU ROMANSU (Miracle romance) Mara stifled a chuckle. “She’s an awesome singer, but this isn’t really my type of music.” She turned to Luke-and froze. Her jaw dropped as she saw him swaying to the music-swaying! She elbowed him in the ribs. “Hey!” he shouted. “I was listening to that.” Mara slumped in her chair and sighed. It was going to be a long night. Epilogue The Millennium Falcon and Jade Saber touched down onto Yavin IV the next day. Jedi Masters Kam Solusar and Kyp Durron watched from the front steps as then two main ramps opened, disgorging everyone. Luke, Tionne and Mara walked up to the Jedi Masters. “It’s good to see you again!” he said boyishly. Tionne and Kam embraced and kissed. “I missed you,” he whispered into her ear. Tionne pulled back and flashed him a smile. “I missed you too.” Kyp rolled his bright green eyes and turned back to Luke. “So, did your mission succeed?” Luke nodded. “Yes, and we must get ready. There shall be a final test, followed by graduation ceremony in two weeks, and then followed by Jacen and Tenel Ka’s wedding.” At that, Kyp’s grin stretched even wider. “Hey, that’s great! It’s about time those two…” His voice trailed off as Luke’s first statement sunk in. “Wait, final test and graduation ceremony?” His head tilted down as he thought for a moment. “Didn’t we have one about two weeks before you left, right?” Luke nodded and Kyp continued. “So, who’s graduating?” Mara pointed to the wandering Senshi. “We picked some up from Earth.” Kyp looked over and reached out with the Force. His jaw dropped open when he felt their power. “Woah…” He suddenly locked eyes with a tall brunette, her hair done up in a ponytail. She also had green eyes, and she appeared quite strong. Kino Makoto wandered over in a trance-like state, and Kyp swallowed. She looked him over, her face unreadable. “You look like my old boyfriend!” Kyp’s pale face turned several shades whiter while Luke held his hand to his forehead. “Kyp Durron, this is Sailor Senshi Kino Makoto. Kino Makoto, Jedi Master Kyp Durron,” he said. A sneaky grin formed on his face. “We’ll leave you two to get acquainted,” she said, pulling Mara away. Kam and Tionne also left, leaving a very nervous Kyp alone with a very lovestruck Makoto. Michiru walked up to Zekk and Lowie. She handed the young bounty hunter his lightsaber and said, “I fine-tuned the crystals so the blade won’t switch to red on occasion.” Zekk bowed his head to her. “Thank you, Michiru.” She then turned to Lowie and handed him a basket filled with colorful bottles. “Lowie, these conditioners and shampoos will really help with the maintenance of your fur.” Lowie’s brown eyes looked over her in confusion and Em Teedee spoke up. “Ah, Master Lowbacca thanks you…I think.” Jacen and Tenel Ka made their way up the temple steps. “We’d better contact Hapes and tell them,” Jacen thought out loud. Tenel Ka nodded. “This is a fact. I know Mother and Father have been looking forward to this, but Grandmother will be quite mad.” A slight smile crossed her face. “Well, I hope Grandmother will be mad.” They entered the Great Temple and crossed over the main foyer to a turbolift shaft. They entered and traveled to the very bottom floor. After a minute, the doors slid open once more and they walked to the main communications console. One of Tenel Ka’s hands danced across the controls and Queen Mother Teneniel Djo’s’ face appeared on the screen. Jacen looked up at the screen and grinned. “Hi, Mom!” Teneniel glanced at him with her brown eyes, then looked over at Tenel Ka. “Is there something I should know about?” she asked. Tenel Ka turned and swatted Jacen on his head. “Ow!” he shouted, rubbing the impact area. “Mother, Jacen and I love each other and we are getting married,” the Hapan princess said. A smile lit the Queen Mother’s face. “Excellent! Father and I shall be there in a week.” Tenel Ka nodded, but a thought entered her head. “Will Grandmother be here as well?” Teneniel snorted in disgust. “Her? She was caught in an assassination attempt two days after you left. She will be in prison for the rest of her life.” Tenel Ka breathed out before answering. “I am…sorry to hear that,” she said. Teneniel shrugged. “Not like she didn’t deserve it. We shall see you soon, daughter.” And with that, the transmission ended. Jacen looked over at Tenel Ka with suspicion in his brown eyes. “You’re not really sorry about Ta'a Chume, are you.” Tenel Ka shook her head. “That is a fact.” The two turned back to the turbolift. “Come. There is much to prepare, and little time.” Jacen nodded and lit up the room with his grin. “Well. What are we waiting for?” ***** Two weeks later The Great Temple buzzed with activity. Chiba Usagi, Chiba Mamoru, Hino Rei, Kino Makoto, Aino Minako, Ten’ou Haruka and Kaiou Michiru prepared for their ascension to Jedi Knight after taking their final test. At noon, the seven sat in the front row of the Grand Audience Chamber. Several Jedi Masters, including Setsuna, Mara, Tionne, Kyp and Kam stood on the main stage while the rest of the Chamber filled up with other Jedi Knights, trainees and other people. After a few minutes, a chime sounded from loudspeakers embedded in the walls. All the spectators quieted down while Luke stepped forward and stood in front of a podium. Seven lightsabers were on a table to his right and resembled diplomas about to be handed out. The Jedi Master cleared his throat and drew upon the Force, enabling him to project his voice to the farthest corners of the room. “For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Order has guarded the galaxy against the forces of evil. Now, another galaxy-another reality-has our light.” He motioned to the front row. “When I call your name, step forth and be recognized by your new title.” “Chiba Mamoru, step forth and be recognized as a Jedi Knight!” The young man, soulmate of Usagi, rose from his seat and walked to the stairs leading up to the podium. He ascended and Luke handed him his lightsaber. “Your heart is pure, and your love strong,” Luke said. Mamoru was momentarily taken aback by Luke’s words, but he soon nodded and stepped off the stage. “Chiba Usagi, step forth and be recognized as a Jedi Knight!” The Senshi with the pure soul jumped up and shouted. “All right!” She ran up the stair, but tripped on her robes and nearly fell on her face before regaining her balance. She sniffed back tears and resumed walking up the stairs. Luke handed Usagi her lightsaber. “You are full of energy, but try to keep your balance.” He winked at her, causing her to smile and nod. “Hino Rei, step forth and be recognized as a Jedi Knight!” The miko got up and almost floated over to the stairs. She walked up and stood before Luke. “Your anger was once a bull, threatening to smash your life. Now it has been reigned in and its energy harnessed. Your mother is proud of you.” Rei took her lightsaber and looked up at him. Tears fell from her black eyes as she whispered, “Thank you, Master Skywalker.” “Kino Makoto, step forth and be recognized as a Jedi Knight!” The athletic brunette walked to the stage and ascended to the podium. Luke handed her her double-bladed lightsaber and said, “My the Force have mercy on the next Dark Sider you face. And I think Kyp Durron likes you” Titters of laughter swept the audience and Kyp’s face turned bright red as Makoto took her lightsaber and walked back down. “Aino Minako, step forth and be recognized as a Jedi Knight!” The blond woman walked up to the stairs and leapt, landing on the main stage with grace and a bow. She walked up to Luke, who spoke. “Your voice and soul are both pure and strong.” She took her lightsaber, but Luke sent her a message through the Force. Can you get me some of your CDs? Minako’s eyebrows arched in surprise at his request, but she smiled and winked at him. “I’ll see what I can do.” “Ten’ou Haruka, step forth and be recognized as a Jedi Knight!” The tall amazon walked over to the stairs and ascended to the main stage, stopping in front of Luke. “It’s gratifying to see you up here. Your arrogance is gone,” he said. She took her lightsaber and nodded to him, her head level. “Kaiou Michiru, step forth and be recognized as a Jedi Knight!” The graceful Senshi of the sea walked to the stairs and seemed to dance up to the podium. Luke handed her the lightsaber. “It’s also nice to see you up here,” he dryly said. Michiru nodded and looked down in humility, but Luke touched her chin and lifted her head up in order to look into her eyes. “You have done well, Michiru.” At that, a grin spread across her face. When Michiru left the stage and sat back down, Luke turned back to the audience. “All seven here have shown remarkable courage over their lifetime and have overcome obstacles in defeating the forces of evil.” He motioned to the front row and said, “I ask that you now stand and face the audience.” The seven sitting there rose. He then looked at the audience. “I now ask that you recognize the newest members of the Jedi Order.” The Main Audience Chamber erupted into frenzied applause as the newest Jedi walked down the central aisle to the back. Before everyone left, Luke spoke once more. “And now, we must prepare for the wedding of Jacen Solo and Tenel Ka Djo!” ***** Over the next thirteen days, dignitaries from across the New Republic, wedding functionaries and members of the press arrived at Yavin IV for a wedding straight out of a fairy tale. The marriage of the future Queen Mother of the Hapes Consortium and the son of the former New Republic Chief of State was big news, after all. Tenel Ka and Jacen both felt overwhelmed by it, but they found comfort in each other, their friends and family. On the day of the wedding, Jacen and his bridegrooms gathered in one of the Great Temple’s guest quarters. Han, Zekk, Anakin, Lowie and Mamoru prepared themselves along with him. “Getting into a tux is harder than I thought,” Mamoru complained as he worked at his tie. Han looked over at him. “You’re kidding, right? I thought you’d be an expert by now.” Mamoru glared at him, but the scoundrel simply chuckled. Jacen’s hands sweated and piranha beetles had invaded his stomach and created a nest. He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder and nearly jumped out of his skin. “Hey!” Zekk asked. “Are you all right?” The groom gave him a weak smile and shrugged. “I don’t know. What if I’m not good enough for her? What if she dies? What if I die?” His cheeks paled as he rattled off a laundry list of disasters. “What if a meteor strikes the Temple???” Han sighed and motioned to the door. “All right, it’s time for the traditional talk before the wedding to ease the groom’s mind. Everyone out!” He ushered everyone out, leaving him alone with his oldest son. Jacen walked over to the window and leaned on the sill. “Dad, I don’t know if I can do this!” Han walked over and leaned right next to Jacen, his casual air a marked contrast to his son‘s frenzied state. “You’re right. You don’t know.” Jacen’s brown eyes looked over at his father. “Was it like this for your wedding day?” he asked. Han thought for a moment and flashed his trademark half-smile. “Yeah, it was. I was thinking, ‘Oh, no! What have I gotten myself into? Leia’s gonna leave me in two months tops!’” He gestured wildly while speaking, bringing a smile to Jacen’s face. Han continued speaking. “There will be rough spots, I can guarantee you that. There will also be times you want to just up and quit. I have one word for you; don’t.” Jacen nodded, feeling calmer already. “Thanks, Dad. I just hope I can make her happy.” His father looked over at Jacen and paused. For perhaps the first time, he saw his son not just as his son, but also as a man. “You’ll be fine, kid.,” he said, reaching over and mussing Jacen’s hair up. The young man halfheartedly batted at his dad. “Dad! It took me all morning to get my hair straight!” Han laughed. “Don’t bother! All Solo men look better a little scruffy.” The two men turned from the window. “Let’s go, Jacen,” Han said. “Your bride’s waiting.” Jacen nodded, and they walked out to meet with the rest of the men. *** At the opposite end of the floor, Tenel Ka stood in a similar position to her beloved even as she and her bridesmaids Jaina, Tahiri, Teneniel Djo, Makoto and Hotaru readied themselves. Makoto looked over her dress, a green, strapless number with a large, puffy bow on the back and numerous frills all around. “Why do the bridesmaids dresses always have to be so bad?” she whined. Teneniel walked over to her. “It’s so the bride won’t be upstaged. Right, Tenel Ka?” She looked over at her daughter and saw her sitting on a chair and breathing into a paper bag. Her gray eyes were wide in terror. Teneniel Djo sighed. “All right, I must talk to my daughter alone.” She ushered everyone out, then walked over and pulled up a chair next to her daughter. “You are nervous.” Tenel Ka lowered the bag from her mouth and, with a hint of sarcasm, remarked, “Is that a fact?” Teneniel laughed. “You are not the first bride to be nervous, nor will you be the last.” Tenel Ka shrugged and leaned against her mother, drawing strength from her. “What if I am not good enough for him? What if he tires of the constant scheming of my family? What if-“ Teneniel Djo cut her daughter off and stroked her hair. “Not even the Force can predict if a marriage will be successful, daughter. You must take one day at a time and move forward as best as possible.” Tenel Ka blinked and straightened up. “I understand, Mother.” The Queen Mother rose from her chair and held her hand out, which Tenel Ka gratefully took. “Come, now. Let us not keep our guests waiting.” The Senshi of balance smiled. “No, we cannot. And that is a fact.” *** Kam, Anja and Kyp stood at the base of the Great temple and rode herd on the flood of guests. “I thought Luke’s wedding was crazy,” Kam muttered. “Okay, straight lines!” Anja nodded in exasperation. “Those two owe me a ton of shipping contracts.” The twenty-something Senshi glanced at the next guest-and froze. A man in battered green Mandalorian armor stood in front of her. She felt his eyes looking at her through the T-shaped visor in his helmet. He reached for his belt, but Kyp and Kam materialized in front of the terrified Anja, lightsabers ready. “Don’t try anything, Fett!” Kam growled. A low, synthetic chuckle emanated from the bounty hunter as he held his gauntleted hand high. All three saw a small datapad instead of the blaster pistol they were expecting. “I was invited for the wedding.” Kam tentatively took the datapad and read it, his danger sense quieting down but still active around the bounty hunter. “Zekk invited you?” he said with surprise. The bounty hunter nodded wrapped his arm around the shoulder of a woman next to him. She wore a simple shirt and black pants, with three straight lines adorning the lower half of each cheek. Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail, and two empty quick-draw holsters hung from a belt. “The invitation said I could bring one guest. This is my wife, Syntas.” Syntas bowed. “It’s an honor to meet you.” Boba held out a gauntleted hand and took the datapad from a shocked Kam. “If you’ll excuse us,” he said, he and Syntas making their way up the stairs to the Great Temple through a gap in the crowd. Kyp turned his eyes to Kam. “When Jaina finds out…” Anja nodded, still too stunned to speak. The next sentients were four human males in carrying themselves well in New Republic Military dress uniforms. “Wes Janson, Wedge Antilles, Tycho Celchu and Hobbie Klivian,” she read off the datapad. Wes bowed and took Anja’s hand. “It’s an honor to meet such a lovely young lady. What are you doing after this little shindig?” Anja’s brown eyes narrowed and she choked back a snort. She held up her transformation wand and said icily, “I’m fighting for love and justice. So if you don’t want a Tibanna Flames up your exhaust pipe, back off.” Wes chuckled nervously and dropped her hand. “Okay…” Tycho took the datapad and motioned to his friends. “Come on. Winter, Iella and the kids are inside.” The ‘fab four’ nodded to Anja before going inside. Anja chuckled and her eyes followed them up to the entrance. When she turned back to the line, she saw a dashing human male with dark skin, short, curly hair and a brilliant smile. “Nice to see you, Lando.” Lando bowed and took her hand. “The pleasure is mine,” he bowed. His cape fluttered in the wind as he spoke. “Thanks for inviting Tendra and I.” He turned and motioned to his wife, the short but beautiful Tendra Risant Calrissian. She bowed and said, “Thanks for the invite, Anja. How are things with your new ship?” Anja smiled and shrugged nonchalantly. “It’s good having a new ship, but I still miss the Second Chance. I’ve got Hapan contracts coming out of my ears.” Lando chuckled, but his mood turned slightly more serious. “If you ever need work, just ask.” Anja nodded in gratitude to her mentor. “I will, and thanks, Lando.” The suave and sophisticated businessman nodded, and he and his wife made their way up to the Great Temple. *** The guests waited in the Grand Audience Chamber the for the bride. Jacen and his best men stood on the stage, along with Tenel Ka’s bridesmaids. Tionne stood in the middle of the stage, resplendent in long, white robes. After a few minutes, the crowd quieted down and the wedding march started up. Everyone looked to the entrance as Tenel Ka walked through the doors. Jacen’s breath caught in his throat as he saw her. She wore a white gown and a veil over her gray eyes. Silk gloves covered her hands while she clutched a bouquet of Hapan night lilies and was escorted by Prince Isolder. He looked quite dashing in a white suit. His blond hair was tied in a ponytail and hung down straight across his spine. A smile was plastered on the prince’s face as he walked his daughter up the steps to the main stage. In the audience, Mara borrowed a handkerchief from Minako. She blew her nose and handed it back to the idol. “Sorry,” she sniffed, her eyes red. “Weddings just do this to me!” Minako rolled her blue eyes and held the wet hanky by her thumb and index finger, wondering how she was going to get rid of it and, with a glance at Mara’s slightly bulging belly, knew it wasn’t just the wedding affecting her. Usagi looked up at the two and sighed. To her, this was a moment of perfection. On the stage, Jacen looked at Tenel Ka and he swallowed, trying to get moisture back into his mouth. So enraptured was he, he almost missed the finish of Tionne’s speech. “…And they have written their own vows. Jacen?” He looked at her and started. “Ah!” Tionne’s silver eyes flashed in amusement. “Are you all right, Jacen?” she asked. Jacen nodded and looked at Tenel Ka. He summoned the Force, but also felt support from Tenel Ka through their bond. He smiled and began speaking from the heart. “When I first met you, Tenel Ka, I was a simple kid who like goofing off and collecting animals. You shook my little world up, and you’re still doing it. You’ve saved my life more times than I can count, and I can’t imagine going through life without you. Heck, I don’t want to.” He looked down for a moment before taking one of her hands. “I guess what I’m trying to say is; I love you.” Tionne turned to Tenel Ka, and the warrior queen wiped her brow with her free hand before speaking. “When I met you, Jacen, humor was an alien concept. You taught me how to laugh, and how to love. You brought me back from the Dark Side on Korriban, and because of that, I discovered something important; I am stronger with you than without you. What I am trying to say is I love you.” They turned to Tionne, who said, “Will the ringbearers please step forward?” Luna and Artemis both walked to the happy couple. Each feline had a pillow tied to their back and a ring tied to the pillow with lace. The two Jedi Knights each took a ring and placed it on their partner’s shaky ring finger. Tionne waited until they finished before looking up to the crowd and announcing, “I now present you with Mister and Misses Djo-Solo.” She looked back at the newlywed couple and sighed. “Well, go ahead and kiss!” Jacen smiled and turned to a beaming Tenel Ka. The two embraced and she dipped Jacen before the two locked lips. Thunderous applause broke out in the Grand Audience Chamber as they bonded, for now and forever. *** Thirty minutes later The Great Temple rocked as the post-wedding party swung into full speed. Couples danced while Minako sang her heart out. Hotaru and Anakin whirled about, both with rare smiles was on their faces. Hotaru had changed out of her bridesmaid dress into something a bit more comfortable, while Anakin’s necktie was on the table. “This is great!” Hotaru cried out. Anakin laughed and brought her in closer. “I haven’t had this much fun in ages!” he said. The black-haired beauty smiled. “I can’t wait for high school to be over so I can move here.” Anakin nodded solemnly. “I’ll wait for you, for always.” Hotaru’s violet eyes shone. “You’d better,” she teased before becoming serious. “You know I love you.” Anakin’s blue eyes blazed as he responded. “I love you too.” Jaina and Zekk sat at one of the tables, The bounty hunter with wounded look on his face. “But Jaina…” he began to say, only to be cut off by a glare from Jaina. The Senshi of mechanics turned from him and crossed her arms in anger. “Don’t say a word, Zekk!” She motioned to Boba Fett and Syntas as they stood with Leia and Han. “How could you invite him?” Zekk shrugged and began to speak, but Jaina cut him off again. “I told you, I don’t want to hear it.” She sighed and looked over again. “I bet Dad’s really nervous, and Mom-“ She suddenly reached out with the Force and was thoroughly shocked by what she sensed-or rather, what she didn‘t sense. “What the kriff?” Han took a sip of ale and nodded. “Those stocks work out for you?” Boba showed him the datapad. “They tripled in value the first day. I sold them off two weeks later at nearly five kriffin’ times their initial value.” Syntas chuckled and patted her husband‘s shoulder. “I thought Boba was crazy for investing in the stock market, but I was wrong.” She shrugged, then leaned in close. “Umm, Leia? Could I talk to you for a moment?” The princess of Alderaan picked up on Syntas’ worry and she led Syntas to a secluded part of the party. “I think our daughter’s Force sensitive,” Syntas said. Leia’s brown eyes went wide. “Does Boba know?” The Kiffar nodded. “Yes, and he’s all right with it. But he’s still a bit wary of Jedi due to the fact that one of the old Jedi Masters kinda decapitated his father in front of him on Geonosis.” Leia blanched at a previously unrevealed aspect of her husband‘s former nemesis. “Ah, well…Luke doesn’t run that sort of Academy here.” A slow sigh of relief came from Syntas. “Good.” Kyp and Makoto sat, talked and ate at a table close to Jaina and Zekk. The Jedi Master almost literally shoveled food into his mouth. “This is divine!” he cried out in between swallows. Makoto’s green eyes shone. “You like it. Kyp?” He swallowed and drained a glass of water. “This is perfect.” He looked over at her and suppressed a shudder. “Are you sure you can’t stay longer?” She batted her eyelashes at him. “Maybe you should consider a move to Tokyo, Kyp.” Kyp mulled her proposal while eating some more. “Well, if our two realities are connected by some hyperspace gateway, I… can’t see the harm in it.” She blushed and Kyp found himself falling for her in the worst-and best-way. He looked out at the dance floor. Minako sang a torch ballad and the happy couple danced by themselves in the middle, a big spotlight shining over them. “I hope to be as happy as those two someday,” he whispered. Makoto looked over and sighed. “Yeah.” Her gaze drifted to Kyp, who looked over. They locked eyes for a moment before turning away, their cheeks blushing scarlet. On the dance floor, Jacen and Tenel Ka danced slowly. Their souls intermingled while they swayed on the dance floor. They looked into each other’s eyes, and no words were needed as three words drifted between them. I love you. The End ***** Please read and review.

	Post 8/5: This one is a bit short, but anything longer would've been awkward. Good, 'cause as per common occurance... I am late! ~The young man reached out with the Force and sent Sailor Moon a message. Distract her! ~To the young man’s horror, but not his surprise, Sailor Moon dropped her wand and looked over at him. “What was that?” keels over laughing helplessly Oh, man... it gets me every time! The summit of excellence, Striker-sama! YAY! Good job, everybody! Ding dong, the demon's... uh, well... sealed up again... shrug passes out party hats anyway En smiled and sighed before looking up at Ali with suspicious red eyes. “And why would you like to see her again? Do you still have a thing for her?” shakes head Some things never change. Aluminum Seiren went looking for some doughnuts... while Tin Nyanko polished her bazooka and sighed in utter relief. Fish-Eye shrugged. “Hey, it happens.” He looked around. “So, what’s been going on?” With a bit of trepidation, the genius hit the ‘playback’ button. “You have 216 new messages,” the machine intoned... Meanwhile, Calaveras and Koan made a dash for the bathroom. “I need makeup, now!” Koan shouted. Have I told you lately how I love your wrap-ups! The Jedi Master looked over to his wife and sister. “Miss me?” he half-joked. is vaguely surprised that Luke didn't get whacked for that comment... Chewie roared. [As am I! By the Mother Forest, you look great!] Uh... duh! He's LUKE! ~She stopped and bowed. “I am honored to meet you, grandparents.” ~Michiru’s right eye twitched. “Umm, how long were we captured for?” she asked. While the line is, of course, hilarious, it's the usually-unflappable Michiru's eye twitching that makes this the masterpiece of comedy that it is! Tuxedo Mask helped Moon over to Corellia’s side. “Her soul has been corrupted.” NOT GOOD! ducks Melodie held out her hand and concentrated. An energy boomerang formed in it. She shouted, “Claw of Death” and threw it with all her might. “Eat this!” is briefly distracted from the awe she feels at the massive smackdown evil!Galaxia is about to receive My thoughts exactly, Sannah-chan! She walked over to Tuxedo Jedi and bounded up onto his shoulders while Artemis walked over to Sailor Venus. She'll get cat fur all over Luke's nifty new threads! Oh well. At least it's not Artemis... Aldera looked up at their receding forms and placed his hands on his hips. “Who said he could manhandle my daughter that way? By the silver light of-Stop it!” he said, his voice rising. ^_^;;; pats Han's shoulder sympathetically Post 8/12: So, no new post next Sunday. Sorry, folks. But if you're behind, you can catch up at least. WHAT?! ME?! Not responding on time?! Now, an extra long post. This thing is 25 pages before putting it up here! I'm gonna run out of little faces to use... Drat! There goes another one! ARGH! She held her hands up to her face as if in prayer and her sea-blue eyes sparkled as she imagined the work. “I can redecorate-and buy all-new furniture!” Hee! Tomo simply looked on with her violet eyes and shook her head. “They never changed,” she observed before a grin blossomed on her pale features. “I’m so glad!” Aww! That's so sweet! I mean, I know that she's gonna get kinda psycho the closer they get to the wedding, but still, it's nice seeing them be able to play and be friends and enjoy each other like the used to, and Tomo's comment just is icing on the cake! ~Jaina sighed. “I feel awful about it too, but she couldn’t be saved. We tried-“ ~Usagi quickly cut her off. “No! There is no try!” Oh, snap! Go Usagi-chan! ~Zekk exchanged a glance with Mamoru. “Do you have to go through this every day?” ~The guardian of Earth hung his head. “You have no idea,” he meekly said. ^_^;;; But we all love you, Mamo-chan! After all, that's what anyone really wants- someone who knows our bad points and loves us anyway! Chibi-Usa shook her head. “Nope!” She stuck her hand into her pocket and pulled out an old holograph. She held it up to the light and it glowed. It showed a wedding party in front of the Great Temple on Yavin IV. Setsuna’s eyes narrowed as she saw both Tomo and Chibi-Usa in the front row... She ran her fingers through her long, dark green hair and sighed. Bwa-ha-ha! Score! Mara stifled a chuckle. “She’s an awesome singer, but this isn’t really my type of music.” She turned to Luke-and froze. Her jaw dropped as she saw him swaying to the music-swaying! Oi... shares a pair of metal-playing headphones with Mara Kino Makoto wandered over in a trance-like state, and Kyp swallowed. She looked him over, her face unreadable. “You look like my old boyfriend!” Bwa-haa! YES! pulls her fist in close to chest Michiru walked up to Zekk and Lowie. She handed the young bounty hunter his lightsaber and said, “I fine-tuned the crystals so the blade won’t switch to red on occasion.” Jaded_Girl lays flowers at the feet of the almighty Striker, who takes time out of his busy fanfic-writing schedule to see to small continuity errors that are Jaded_Girl's particular interest! ...Queen Mother Teneniel Djo’s’ face appeared on the screen. Jacen looked up at the screen and grinned. “Hi, Mom!” That's gotta be one of the best ways of breaking the news that I've ever heard! Kudos, Jacen! The young man, soulmate of Usagi, rose from his seat and walked to the stairs leading up to the podium. He ascended and Luke handed him his lightsaber. “Your heart is pure, and your love strong,” Luke said. And you a$$... fantastic! The Senshi with the pure soul jumped up and shouted. “All right!” She ran up the stair, but tripped on her robes and nearly fell on her face before regaining her balance. She sniffed back tears and resumed walking up the stairs. loves Usagi-chan so much, and is glad that Striker knows exactly what to do with her at a solemn occasion such as this! She took her lightsaber, but Luke sent her a message through the Force. Can you get me some of your CDs? ROTFLMAO! The marriage of the future Queen Mother of the Hapes Consortium and the son of the former New Republic Chief of State was big news, after all. It's weird to think of it like that, but it's TOTALLY true! settles down to watch the A #1 super-awesome Han/Jacen talk... Han laughed. “Don’t bother! All Solo men look better a little scruffy.”* Truer words were ne'er said! glomps the Solo pair She looked over at her daughter and saw her sitting on a chair and breathing into a paper bag. Her gray eyes were wide in terror. It's SO worth it to see Tenel Ka in such a state... it's just one of those emotional payoffs! ~She ushered everyone out, then walked over and pulled up a chair next to her daughter. “You are nervous.” ~Tenel Ka lowered the bag from her mouth and, with a hint of sarcasm, remarked, “Is that a fact?” snort This talk is really good too! Such a genius, Striker! ruffles Striker's hair She held up her transformation wand and said icily, “I’m fighting for love and justice. So if you don’t want a Tibanna Flames up your exhaust pipe, back off.” Excellent! Go Anja! And Mara's hormones... classic! ~Han took a sip of ale and nodded. “Those stocks work out for you?” ~Boba showed him the datapad. “They tripled in value the first day. I sold them off two weeks later at nearly five kriffin’ times their initial value.” homicide policemen show up with an arrest warrant for Striker, 'cause Jaded_Girl just laughed herself to death “Yes, and he’s all right with it. But he’s still a bit wary of Jedi due to the fact that one of the old Jedi Masters kinda decapitated his father in front of him on Geonosis.” shrugs Understandable... sigh Such a spectacular finale!

	The princess of Alderaan picked up on Syntas’ worry and she led Syntas to a secluded part of the party. “I think our daughter’s Force sensitive,” Syntas said. Leia’s brown eyes went wide. “Does Boba know?” The Kiffar nodded. “Yes, and he’s all right with it. But he’s still a bit wary of Jedi due to the fact that one of the old Jedi Masters kinda decapitated his father in front of him on Geonosis.” Leia blanched at a previously unrevealed aspect of her husband‘s former nemesis. “Ah, well…Luke doesn’t run that sort of Academy here.” Okay, the entire post was great, but that just cracked me up like you would not believe. -----signature----- "I feel like a more down-to-earth Pink 5 when I'm writing Leah.

	Well, the whole story was new to me. Still, it will be nice that everyone else reading this will be in the dark with me, too. This was a fine ending to your arc, here. Good ending to the whole thing. Now, let's see some brand-new stuff. I know you laid out a brief sample of Crystal Alderaan before us months ago (along with two other arcs, one involving the Vong and another I forgot entirely) but I forgot what the plot was going to be. Ah, well. I'll just figure it out as I read. More fun that way when you don't know what's going to happen. Long read, but that's okay. I like long posts sometimes. Bring on the weird magic-thingamabobs! -----signature----- Padawan of princess_of_naboo E-married to the amazing padawanlost Member of Charon_Force The Incubus Cries: http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/30141520/p1/?18

	He's back... Hope everyone missed me. I had an absolute blast with Ish in Utah. SSM12-Glad you liked those bits. I have a habit of marrying those two off. And yeah. I think Boba and Han would be better than in the profic. Kidan-Thanks! I'm glad everyone likes it. Idrelle-Thank you. Yes, the wedding was a long time coming. Taeniaea-Thank you. Jaded_Girl-LOL, welcome back! Yeah, sealed up, but Galaxia's still loose! And I love writing snarky Sannah. It's so... refreshing. Glad you like how everyone goes back. I had fun writing those. Yes, you've told me you love my wrap-ups. Glad you liked Michiru's eye twitches there. I took Han going into 'speech-mode' from Ish's little viggie from a bit back. Yup, go Usagi-chan. And that is how she'd react, too. I think she'd even hold out hope for JINO... maybe. Sneaks a listen to whatever Mara and Nikki are listening to Thank you for the flowers. Bends down and swoops them up I can see Jacen saying that to Teneniel, too. And you a$$... fantastic! ... Huh? Yeah, it would be a big deal. Glad you like the parent/children talks. I think Han was a great father, myself. Has Neo-Queen Serenity travel back in time to revive Nikki and give her an autograph Ish-LOL! Glad you liked Syntas and Leia's convo, there. I figure those two would be at ease with each other, myself. Mac-I find that to be true-sometimes. Although I do seek out spoilers for stuff to see if I like it or not. And... new stuff... well, probably won't be too much longer before I finish editing the old parts. Thank you for your patience. This will be the entirety of one story arc and the beginning of another one. Here we go! ***** Part Five: Crystal Alderaan Opening 28 seconds focus on Crystal Tokyo and Crystal Alderaan in a split screen GOMEN NE sunao ja nakute (I'm sorry I'm not candid.) First focus on Neo-Queen Jaina and King Zekk on their throne Yume no naka nara ieru (I can say it if in my dreams.)

Seiza no matataki kazoe (Counting the twinklings of the constellations) Uranau koi no yukue (is how I foretell love's whereabouts.) Onaji kuni ni umareta no (Born on the same earth) MIRAKURU ROMANSU (Miracle romance) Chapter One: Where They are Now Crystal Alderaan, 3014 Queen Jaina Solo looked out over the courtyard of her palace and smiled, feeling a bit of calm and peace. For the past five hundred years, there had been peace in the galaxy. Yes, there were slight border disputes and pirates, but there was no real war. Two hundred thousand Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo Guardians, along with close to a million Jedi Knights and Masters, kept things from getting out of control. She felt a familiar presence slide into the room and she called out, “How are things at the Senate?” King Zekk walked over to his wife and embraced her from behind, nuzzling her neck. “I tell you, Jaina. Politics is of the Dark Side,” he mumbled. “And is that new shampoo you’re using?” Jaina laughed and turned to face him. “I’m serious!” she said between laughs. “And no, it’s the same as always.” Zekk let go, walked over to their bed and sat down. “Well, Senator Thul’s been wanting tariffs passed on Terran Confederation goods, but the bill was shouted down before it even came to the floor.” Jaina nodded. “That means that the Bornaryn fleet must’ve had a smaller profit than last quarter.” She sighed and held out her hand, her dainty fingers splayed out. “I think I’ll have Raynar give his…” She trailed off as she tried to figure out which generation Senator Thul was. “…his descendant a talk,” she finally said. Zekk let out a chuckle. “Don’t worry, Jaina. I stopped counting ‘greats’ about eight hundred years ago.” The Queen rolled her eyes. “Well, I like to keep track of these things.” She checked her watch and smiled wistfully. “I wonder how Serena’s doing in school right now.” Zekk’s eyes looked over at his wife. “Don’t worry. I’m sure she’ll be fine.” He gave her what he hoped was a reassuring smile. “After all, she’s our daughter.” Jaina snorted in an unladylike manner. “Zekk, that’s what I’m afraid of.” *** Serena Solo ran through the halls of Aldera High School, late as usual. The seventeen-year-old turned a corner and burst through a pair of doors. Her green eyes looked around and a groan escaped her lips. The line for food in the cafeteria must’ve been a kilometer long! She trudged to the end of the line, but something out of the corner of her eye caught her attention. Serena looked and saw one of her friends waving her over. The daughter of Queen Jaina went over to the table and plopped into the seat. “I’m so hungry!” she said. “And the line’s endless!” Chibi-Usa looked across the table and sighed. “Here you go,” she muttered between bites, offering her half of her sandwich. Serena sat up and took the food. “Thank you!” Next to Chibi-Usa, Tomo Solo blew a strand of light brown hair out of her eyes and spoke up. “You need to get your act together, Serena, if you wanna become a Sailor Senshi.” The young princess shrugged. “Ah, I’d rather become a Jedi Knight. They’re cooler!” A young man sat next to Serena at that moment. He brushed a bit of his long, dark brown hair out of his eyes and had a serious, almost grim look on his face. Zeth Durron, son of Durron Makoto and Kyp Durron, glanced at his friends with almost laser-like green eyes. “It’s good to see you.” Serena turned to him at the waist and smiled. “Hey, Zeth. How was history class?” Zeth shrugged. “Dean Urawa has lived through much of what she’s teaching, so she peppers her speeches with weird anecdotes and asides.” Serena grinned rather goofily at him and reached over to muss his hair up. “You’re so serious!” she teased. Zeth batted her away, but the teen scooted around and grabbed him in an impromptu headlock. She ground her knuckles into his head while saying, “You’re so thick-headed, I bet you don’t even feel this!” The young man simply rolled his head and let out a sigh. Two more people sat down, both carrying lunch trays. There was a human with curly brown hair, while the second was a female Wookiee. She wore nothing but a belt of syren fibers and had a small, battered translating droid attached to it. She grumbled her hellos and dug into a plate of barely cooked spare ribs while the smirking looked over at Serena and Zeth. “Serena, just admit that you love him, okay?” Serena’s brown eyes glared at him. “Shut up, Meas. Just shut up.” Meas Thul, multi-great nephew of Raynar Thul, gave her a sneaky grin. “Oh, why should I? It’s true.” The Wookiee looked over and gestured wildly while speaking. “Mistress Alachettuck says that affairs of the heart should be kept between lovers.” She glanced down, grabbed Em Teedee and shook him. “What??? It’s what you said!” At that, Zeth’s normally ruddy face blanched white as a sheet. “We are not…that is to say-“ Serena shoved him and jumped back into her seat. Unlike Zeth, she was blushing furiously and seemed to light up the table. Thankfully for the two, the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch. Tomo, Serena, Zeth, Chibi-Usa, Meas and Alachettuck-Alac to her friends-gathered up their books and left the cafeteria. Serena was quickly separated from her friends as they made their way to their classes. Serena’s next class was Physical Education. It was her favorite class…if only she was any good at it. *** Earth, Crystal Tokyo Neo-Queen Serenity looked out over the Terran Senate and breathed deeply. She summoned the Force in an attempt to calm her nerves, but it was ultimately all for naught. She hated speeches! Her blue eyes looked over the assembled leaders of over one hundred fifty-seven star systems, and she nearly lost her nerve. Still, she knew this was necessary. Serenity stepped up to the podium and began speaking. “Senators, I address you not only as Neo-Queen Serenity, leader of the Terran Confederation, but also as a Sailor Senshi. We have had peace for the past five hundred years and I have cherished every second of it. Still, I know that peace is transitory. The drumbeats of war will once more sound out, no matter how much we don’t want it.” “We are at peace with our stellar neighbors, but for how long? The Dominion has stated that it will attempt another invasion, and there are others.” She looked out over the Senate, focusing on several members. ‘There has been talk of scrapping the Defense Fleet, that we should rely on the Sailor Senshi, the Guardians and Jedi to resolve our disputes. I say that is wrong. We must hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. I say that the Defense Fleet must be ready for anything that comes our way.” One of the senators stood up. “Your Majesty, have you seen a vision of the future? Is this based on fact?” Her Majesty shook her head. “It is merely the cycle of life. All things must end.” Her blue eyes swept the chambers as she said her next words. “And please remember, Darth Calaveras has never been confirmed dead.” A quiet murmur swept the Senate. When it quieted down, Serenity bowed to them and stepped down. After a brief round of debates, the Senate voted to keep the Defense Fleet at its current state of readiness and to keep it modernized. ***** Tatooine The shell of the Phantom Sister Calaveras sat against a stone dais in the former palace of Jabba the Hutt, and she waited. Her brown hair was no longer tied in a ponytail, but hung loosely across her shoulders and was shorter. The golden armor covering her upper body had lost much of its shine, but it was still tough and able to protect her. The cape she wore had lost most of its sheen and was ragged at the bottom, but she didn’t care. She held her wrists up to her brown eyes and looked at them, filtered sunlight casting an oily glow to them. The ‘golden’ bracelets holding her body together were no longer golden. Now three layers of quantum armor coated them and they had a dull, oily sheen to them, and only when light hit them. But now they were nearly indestructible. As an added precaution, the shell had stolen the real Calaveras’ starseed at the moment of her death. Now she was truly immortal and would win out in the end, no matter how many millennia would pass. She unclenched her right fist and examined the contents, a small vial with a stasis seal on top. A low chuckle emanated from her dry, cracked lips. “Oh, your royal highness? Queen Jaina? You shall meet your demise at your own hands.” She chuckled again, and it grew into a full-bodied laugh that lasted for almost five minutes… ***** The End Part Six: Memories of a Time Gone By Opening 28 seconds have the Senshi standing in a circle. They transition to their predecessors. GOMEN NE sunao ja nakute (I'm sorry I'm not candid.) The Decade of Peace* swoops by Tatooine.* Yume no naka nara ieru (I can say it if in my dreams.) As it covers the shot and then recedes, Tatooine changes from a lush planet full of life to its current state. Shikou kairo wa SHO-TO sunzen (My thoughts are about to short circuit.) Vejoso is seen raising her arms, and the desert floor erupts. Ima sugu aitai yo (I want to see you right now!) Keope is seen with her corusca gem, holding it high. It flashes and produces a blinding effect. Nakitaku naru you na moonlight (I'm just about to cry – moonlight) When it fades, you see Mate' charging with her spear. Denwa mo dekinai midnight (I can't call you, either – midnight) Vipim Le can be seen punching with her armored gauntlets. She punches the screen. Datte junjou doushiyou (But I have a simple heart, so what can I do?) When the fist retracts, you see Teppej with her net and Vouppi with her sword of sealing. HA-TO wa mangekyou (My heart is a kaleidoscope.). Image of Nese and Lucas smooching on the desert floor. Tsuki no hikari ni michibikare (With the light of the moon to guide us,) The camera pans up, and you see Mara and Luke in the exact same position. Nandomo meguriau (We’ll be brought together by fate many times over.) Xim's orange eyes are also seen. Seiza no matataki kazoe (Counting the twinklings of the constellations) The priestesses are all seen in front of the Decade of peace. Uranau koi no yukue (is how I foretell love's whereabouts.) Nese and Lucas are standing close together. Onaji kuni ni umareta no (Born on the same earth) MIRAKURU ROMANSU (Miracle romance) Chapter One: Visions of the Past Jaina Solo held her lightsaber aloft and thumbed the activation trigger, sending forth a beam of brilliant white plasma. The old emitter crystal had an electric-violet beam, but that crystal wasn’t a Ginzoishou. It wasn’t imbued with the Force itself. She initiated a series of training exercises, going through the lessons taught to her by Kyp Durron and Dorsk 82. On her bed, a pair of yellow eyes followed her movements. “You’re quite skillful with that,” Luna commented. Jaina deactivated her lightsaber and clipped it to the hem of her skirt. “Thanks.” A sigh escaped her lips as she continued speaking. “I just hope I can find time to practice on the Headquarters Frigate.” She sat on the bed and cradled her lightsaber in her hands. Luna walked up to her and curled up in her lap while she continued on. “Jacen and Tenel Ka are leaving tomorrow for their honeymoon. Zekk’s already left on the Lightning Rod, and you’re going back to Tokyo along with the other Senshi and Master Durron today.” She glanced to the window and her shoulders sagged. “I’m gonna miss everyone!” At that, Luna let out a knowing chuckle. “Oh, Jaina. It’s natural to want things to stay the same, but time changes all. Old friends disappear and new ones emerge. Familiar places give way to strange ones.” Jaina rolled her eyes at that and said, “Yeah, but I don’t have to like it.” Luna twisted her head around and looked up at Jaina. “Things have changed quite a bit for you already. Two years ago, you weren’t a Jedi Knight or Sailor Senshi.” The feline thought for a moment, reflecting on the past events. “And things have changed since your previous incarnation, has it not?” Jaina nodded and shifted a bit on her bed. “Yeah. I almost forgot about that.” She remembered the stories of the Battle of seven priestesses against Xim the Despot from the spirit of her grandmother, Padme Naberrie. 25,500 years ago, seven primitive Force users defeated him on Tatooine and sealed his soul into a sword. They then forged a weapon that would be able to destroy his soul, but they were had put too much of themselves into it, and were too weak to finish the task. So the task fell to their reincarnated selves. Jaina, Tenel Ka, Tahiri, Lusa, Tionne, Sannah and Mara had to stop Xim’s spirit on the moon of Yavin XIII. After that, Jaina never gave the priestesses much thought-until now. She bent over, picked Luna up and deposited her on the bed, then stood up and paced around a bit before unclipping her lightsaber again and igniting it once more. Her brown eyes traced the white blade, and the hum almost hypnotized her. “I wonder how they did it,” she murmured. Luna looked over at her. “The Ginzoishou can give you a glimpse of the past. You need only concentrate, Jaina.” Jaina half-closed her eyes and she felt herself slip back through the mists of time. Her vision clouded, and a trance soon came over her… ***** Please read and review. The next post will be on the 2nd of September. Up! -----signature----- E-married to the wonderful DarthIshtar.

	I loved seeing the brief gilmpse into the future, and seeing everyone's children. I love it how Serena is acting almost like Usagi did at that age. And so now we also get a glimpse of the Jedi's past incarnations; I seem to remember liking this arc. -----signature----- "Do or do not.

	I liked the way that post went because you handled characterization in two phases of life really well. -----signature----- "I feel like a more down-to-earth Pink 5 when I'm writing Leah. Same attitude, less lip gloss." ~Me on how to get in the right mindset for Twilight fanfic.
