[This is my second Sailor Moon story and if you haven't read the first you must!  I'm really, really proud of it.  This story is mainly about Reeny and Serena and I'm really proud of it. Hopefully you won't get too confused with what goes on. ^_^ For those of you who have read the previous Sailor Moon story, I'm sorry, but the names are different.  The only ones that remained the same are Serena/Serenity, Darien, Nephrite, Molly, Diamond, Sapphire and Prisma.  The only thing is I didn't know what to call Reeny.  She's Chibi-Usa in Japanese, and Reeny in English.  (Reeny is a short version of Serena.)  So I decided to call Serena only Serenity and to call Reeny mainly Serena-chan so you could get the idea.  I'm pretty sure that's safe territory.  ^_^ This takes place in Neo-Tokyo when Reeny is a teenager and her mother brings Elios to her lonely daughter.  But that's all I'm going say! ^_^ So have fun and enjoy the story!

Sailor Moon II

A New Life

Part I—Elios

            Serenity was standing next to her husband, awaiting the approach of the Queen of Elysia when she turned her gaze to the young man lounging on the luxurious seat.  His hair, a snowy white color that shimmered in the lighting of the room, shifted forward over the young man's handsome face as he sighed.  His golden horn shone, glinting its beauty in the light.  His glowing blue eyes drifted shut as his head leaned forward, his hair and earrings slipping with his movement.  Serenity smiled and turned back to the steward before her as the queen emerged from the steps behind.

            The Queen of Elysia's flowing white hair glistened about her, the golden horn on her head sparkling in the light.  Her smile was brilliant as she greeted the two people before her.

            "Queen Serenity of Earth, King Darien of Earth.  It is a great honor to finally be able to meet you both."  The Queen smiled and motioned for the steward to leave.  But as the man left, her gaze turned to the young man lounging.  Serenity and Darien turned to face the young man as he rose and gave a slight bow to the sovereignties before him.  The Queen of Elysia smiled.  "I am Queen Elysia.  This is my son, the Prince Elios."

            Serenity lifted an eyebrow curiously as she gazed at the young man.  His name seemed familiar, but she could not pin point where she had heard it before.  He was perhaps only a bit older than Serena-chan, or Reeny as she was also called.  Serenity smiled as she remembered her daughter's argument when she had wanted to come with them to Elysia.  Serenity's eyes flashed.  That is where the young man's name was familiar!  When she had been training her daughter in the past, a prince named Elios had come to her in her dreams!  Serenity smiled.  That was why Reeny had been so eager to come to Elysia!

            When Queen Elysia began to speak, Serenity had to turn her gaze from the young man who seemed as lonely as Reeny did these days.  Perhaps once she told Darien what was going on, he would be just as eager as she was to bring Elios back to Earth…

            Serenity was smiling as she searched for Elios.  She had already spoken to her husband and to Queen Elysia.  She had agreed to let Serenity take her son to Earth.  It would be a good trip for him.  She smiled.  If only his mother knew that Serenity was only bringing him to Earth for her lonely daughter.

            Serenity saw Elios leaning against the steps; his eyes were closed, as he was lost in thought.  Serenity silently approached him and smiled.  He was a handsome boy.  Serenity chuckled.  Reeny had chosen well.

            Elios heard the small chuckle and open his eyes to gaze at the beautiful Earth Queen, Serenity.  He bowed and she did in return, but she did not leave.  That was strange.  None of his mother's guests were ever interested in him.  He was still only a prince.

            Elios blinked in confusion and Serenity smiled.

            "Prince Elios, your mother has decided that you will be returning to Earth with my husband and I."

            Elios blinked again.  What?  Mother was sending him away?  But why?  But before he could speak, Queen Serenity continued.

            "Do not worry.  I am sure that you will not be bored or lonely on Earth.  My daughter doesn't know you are coming, but it will be a pleasant surprise for her."

            Daughter?  Elios sighed.  All of his mother's guests were trying to get him married to their daughters.  They all wanted were connections to the royal house of Elysia.  Well, just because this one woman was Queen of another kingdom, did not mean he had to marry her daughter.  His heart already belonged to another!

            Elios tried his best to smile at the queen before him; he gave a low bow.  "I am sorry, Queen Serenity.  I will not be able to go with you back to Earth to meet your daughter.  I am already promised to another."

            Serenity continued to smile, but sighed.  "Really?  Oh, that is too bad.  Serena-chan will be heartbroken to know that you have promised yourself to another."  Serenity sighed.  "What shall I tell her?"

            Elios looked up sharply, his eyes blinking.  "Serena-chan?  Reeny?"  His eyes slowly widened as he finally made the connection between mother and daughter.  Elios let out a burst of joy.  "My Serena-chan?"

            Serenity nodded as the young man cried out in happiness.  He was grinning from ear to ear as Darien entered the room with a smile.  He chuckled as he approached his wife and wrapped an arm around her.

            "I take it he has agreed to come with us?"

            Serenity nodded.  "Yes.  I believe he has agreed to come with back to the Earth."

*          *          *

            Serena-chan sighed as she lounged in the swing.  The Sailor Guardians, Rei, Mina, Lita and Ami were busy working…the other Sailor Guardians were off on some mission… and there was absolutely nothing to do.  Her parents still hadn't arrived from Elysia, though they were coming home today.  She sighed again.  She had wanted so much to go.  She knew Elios would have been there.  She clenched her hand into a fist.  If only her parents had allowed her to go with them!

            She shook her fist for a moment and then sighed again, relaxing into the swing as the breeze shifted it back and forth.  She was just so lonely…

            It was then that a cry came from the castle signaling the return of Queen Serenity and King Darien.  Serena-chan jumped from her place and rushed to greet her parents.  One because she had missed them despite all evidence to the contrary and two because she was hoping that they had seen Elios and that they could tell her about him…

            She didn't get very far when screeched to a halt.  Standing before her, leaning against the doorway that led into the castle was the young man himself.  His eyes were glowing along with his smile as his white hair shifted forward.  Serena-chan's heart clenched in her chest as he straightened and began to move toward her.  Her eyes filled and shimmered as he smiled at her and lifted his hand to her.  Serena-chan gave a cry of joy and launched herself into his arms, making him burst out with laughter as he held her tightly against him.

            King Darien and Queen Serenity smiled as they watched their daughter cry out in joy.  She was so happy.  Serenity leaned her head on Darien's shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her.  They were thrilled they could make their daughter so happy.  But… they turned to Serenity's side and looked down at the young girl that was watching Elios and Serena-chan with huge eyes.  Serenity smiled at the girl.  She had brought her as well from Elysia and was only a year younger that her Serena-chan.  The sunset-haired lavender-eyed girl was named Skylar, and she was Elios' little sister.

            She didn't look like she was taking too kindly to being ignored by her brother.

            Serenity smiled and hugged the girl.  Skylar looked up and blinked at the beautiful woman hugging her.  The Queen of the Earth was the most beautiful woman Skylar had every seen except for her own Mother.  Her glowing blue eyes and her white-blonde hair made her look like an angel.  Skylar sighed.  She was going to be alone soon.  Her brother was going to stay here and marry the Princess of the Earth and Moon and she would have no one.  She hated it.

            But she was a princess, so she couldn't very well show such disrespect to anyone.  She sighed.  She just wished her brother would stop kissing the girl so he could at least introduce the princess to her.

            Serena-chan couldn't believe it.  Her Elios was here.  She had been waiting for him for so long…and now he was finally here.  Her body felt like it was shimmering with heated lights as he kissed her and held her.  She felt she could stay that way forever.

            But she slowly snapped out of the trance of her joy when she heard a cough in the background.  She lifted her head to see what had happened; only to see her parents smiling at her wickedly and a girl about her own age scowling at her.  Serena-chan blinked and slowly pulled out of Elios' arms.  He was still smiling sensually at her.  She turned bright pink and took a deep breath to compose herself.  She turned to her parents, gazed at their smiling visages and gave a squeal of joy.

            She hurtled herself at her mother and father, both parents laughing at Serena-chan's enthusiasm.  Serena-chan pulled back and smiled at them, her face flushed.  "Thank you so much, Mom, Dad!  I didn't think you would remember.  That's why I wanted to go so badly with you!  Thank you!"

            Serenity gave a small laugh and said, "I'm glad we made you happy, sweetheart.  But your love has misplaced his manners, so I'll fix them for him."  Elios and Serena-chan blinked while Serenity just smiled and turned to the girl next to her.  "This is Princess Skylar of Elysia.  Elios' sister."

            Serena-chan blinked and Elios groaned shaking his head.  He gave his sister a pleading look of apology, but she ignored him and looked at the Princess of the Earth and Moon.  Her eyes narrowed.  Serena-chan grinned.

            "It is a pleasure to meet you, Skylar-chan.  I didn't know that Elios had a sister.  This is a wonderful surprise!  Now, not only do I have my Elios, but now I have a sister too!  This is great!  I'm so happy to meet you!"  Serena-chan grasped Skylar's hands gave them a squeeze and then gave Skylar a hug.

            Skylar was left speechless…but happy.  She pulled out of the hug with a smile on her face and her cheeks pink with embarrassment.  "I thought you were going to take my brother away and then I'd be all alone.  But you're not like that at all!"  Skylar grinned and gave Serena-chan a spontaneous quick hug.  "Thank you so much!"

            Serena-chan laughed and looked up at her parents who were smiling down at her, love shining in their eyes.

            She turned to Elios, whose hooded eyes gave promises of what would happen when they were alone.  Serena-chan's eyes sparkled as heat shot through her.  When she had been a little girl and first met Elios, she had never had any of these feelings.  Back then it had been a pure love, a deep, unending affection.  Now, she could understand the heated feelings he stirred within her.

            She grinned.  This is what Mom and Dad felt like most of the time.  And she had seen her parents when they were alone…or thought they were.  Heat traveled to Serena-chan's face.  She couldn't wait to be alone with her Elios.

            His eyes sparkled with the knowledge of what she was thinking about.  She gave a giddy laugh and proceeded to show his sister around the entire Crystal Palace.

*          *          *

            All of the main Sailor Guardians came to meeting.  The topic was the engagement ceremony of Princess Serena-chan with Prince Elios.  All of them were grinning with excitement as the King and Queen discussed the arrangements with the Sailor Guardians and the Generals of King Darien's army.

            Sailor Mercury, Ami, was calculating the costs for the celebration rapidly while her husband, the Shadow General Greg, shook his head at her as he listened to King Darien and Queen Serenity discuss the details of the ceremony.  Beside them was Sailor Mars, Rei, with her husband, General Chad, who were grinning with the excitement bubbling about the room.  Sailor Jupiter, Lita, sat beside her husband, General Diamond, as she wrote down a list of all the food needed for the celebration.  General Diamond grinned at his wife as her excitement began to make her giggle at nothing in particular.  Sailor Venus, Mina, was sitting next to Mars, the both of them discussing what entertainment they should produce for the party.  General Steven, Venus' husband, rolled his eyes at her endless chatter and General Chad grinned at him.  Sailor Neptune, Michiru, and Sailor Uranus, Haruka, were sitting side by side trying to get into the conversation Mars and Venus were having about the entertainment.  Ideas were bursting out of the entire group.  Sailor Pluto, Setsuna, was wondering about what designs for the decorations should be done and Sailor Saturn, Hotaru, was giggling as she shook her head.  Generals Max and Sapphire were also there with their wives that were also generals of King Darien's army.  Molly, Prisma and her sisters were all present and excited.  They entire palace was practically ready to explode with the excitement humming in it.

            Serenity and Darien were pleased by everyone's excitement.  The party would be spectacular.  Suddenly, Serenity's eyes narrowed and Darien lifted an eyebrow.  His wife looked about the room, her eyes slowly narrowing as she scaled the entire room.  She gave a low grumble from the back of her throat, pleaded to be excused and began to leave the room.  Darien lifted an eyebrow and grabbed his wife's arm.

            "Serena?  What's wrong?"

            Serenity gave him a longsuffering sigh and then pointed her finger at him in annoyance.  "Your daughter is missing!  She and Elios should be giving their ideas for their own engagement celebration.  But the two have gone missing!"

            Darien blinked and then burst out laughing.  Serenity rolled her eyes at him and strode out, determined to find the missing couple.  Darien stopped laughing and grinned and he watched the swing of his wife's hips as she left the room to find his errant daughter.  Serena-chan has no idea of the mess she's getting herself into.  He sighed in happiness.  It was about time life started giving them peace.
