I know very well that in the real world it can take months and even years to finalize the adoption of any child. However since this is a fiction story I can make the adoptions much quicker. Besides, come 30th century who knows how long or short a time the adoption process will take?
Come see my site at http/chibisenshi. I am doing art trades right now if anyone is interested. Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon. The Chibi Senshi all belong to me.
Orphans Part Ten: Families By Angel Raye
It didn't take long for any of the adoptions to finalize. No one was going to deny the royal couple or the Senshi the wish to adopt a child. Since it was harder to find homes for children who weren't babies then social services was quite happy to let the orphans stay where they are. Endymion and Serenity used their power and authority to speed up the processes so the adoptions were finalized quickly.
So tonight everyone had dinner together and it was a special dinner to welcome the newest members of the family. Everyone was very excited. "We shall have to plan another party to really celebrate," Serenity declared happily.
"Oh please not another party," Faith pleaded. "I hate that stupid dress I have to wear"
"And a couple of us have really little ones again who don't need to stay up so late at night," Ami added.
"So no one wants a party," Serenity asked looking crushed.
"We'll have a party," Makoto assured her. "But since it hasn't been that long since the last one let's wait a while and give these kids a chance to get used to being in families again"
"Besides we have other concerns right now," Rei added.
"What's that?" Minako asked and everyone, even the younger children listened.
"We've now got members in our families without any special powers," Rei replied. "It is our duty as Senshi to protect them"
"Anyone who messes with my immouto will have to deal with Chibi Jupiter," Daisy declared.
"Oh thank you Onee-san," Tama cried.
"We'll all protect our new family members," Hotaru quietly added.
"Yes," Madelyn agreed. "I'll hurt anyone who tries to get my immouto"
"So will I," Ariel piped up.
"Well that's good to hear," Michiru stated. "I guess you're okay with having to share your parents with someone else"
"A little," Ariel admitted.
"So can I sleep with Moonbeam tonight?" Mari asked eagerly.
"In your dreams," Ariel replied and Mari pouted while everyone else laughed.
"I'm just glad that someone finally wanted me," Tama stated.
"Of course we want you," Makoto assured her giving her a hug.
"And it's nice to have some boys around at last," Faith commented.
"Now you can be one of the guys," Eizo told her. Hope rolled her eyes. Now she'll never get Faith interested in girly things.
"I'm now Lady Gemmei," Gemmei declared. "I'm someone important"
"Just don't get a swelled head," Usagi warned her. "Some of these kids will sit on you hard if you do"
"Are you okay with all this?" Serenity asked Minako. "Now that you have two pranksters in the family you're going to have your hands full"
"I'll be fine," Minako assured her. "I haven't been mother to Gloria for ten years without learning a few tricks of my own"
"Oh I don't like the sound of that," Asai muttered.
"I just wanted to thank you all for taking us in and giving us good homes," Koyo said. "I know I speak for all of when I say we will be very happy here"
"We're glad to have you," Serenity replied and everyone nodded in agreement.
The serious moment was interrupted by Sachi who gave a loud exclamation of disgust. He had stood up for a moment which was long enough for someone to place a banana cream pie on his chair. He had sat right down in it. "Gloria," Minako shouted.
Gloria giggled. "Welcome to the family Sachi onii-san," she stated. Everyone couldn't help it. They began laughing, Sachi included. Once the laughing stopped and regular conversation started going again Sachi leaned over and whispered to Gloria, "Of course you know this means war"
"Anytime Sachi," Gloria told him. "Anytime."
