AN- This is my first Sailor Moon fanfic! So please be nice! I am going to use the American names as nicknames, but I think the princesses should have longer names as their real names (they are all real names). And oh yeah, this is set in the Silver Millennium, but the beginning of this chapter occurs when the scouts are on the moon in episode 39 "The Past Returns". The Outers will come eventually. This is a Serenity/Endymion and Scouts/Generals story.

Disclaimer- I sadly do not own Sailor Moon, but I wish I did though.

The True Story of a Legendary Love

Chapter 1- Before All This Began

"What!" yelled Sailor Moon, "You mean we're actually back on the Moon?" The Scouts looked at each other in surprised.

"Yes, my darling, you are actually back on the moon because you need to know how your destiny came to be. I will tell you a story that occurs before all this began," said Queen Serenity.

Suddenly a flash of brilliant light enveloped all of them. The Scouts felt like they were falling for a few moments. Sailor Moon shut her eyes. Suddenly, she felt like she was standing. She opened her eyes, and she was standing in a beautiful garden. She could see the magnificent Lunarian Palace in the background. Shouts could be heard in the near distance. Queen Serenity started to walk towards the shouts. The Scouts silently followed her. They gasped when they saw who was screaming…little versions of themselves! The girls were running and being chased by five boys, who looked strangely familiar. Little Princess Serenity of the Moon, aka Serena, was tackled by a black-haired boy.

"Darien," Serena screamed, "get off me!" She tried to push him off of her.

"As the prince of the Earth, you will address me as Prince Endymion," he said as he started to tickle her. Serena started to scream and cry at the same time.

Suddenly, a boy with short blond hair started laughing. Princess Rachael of Mars, aka Raye, whacked him on the back of his head. "How dare you laugh at her, Jadeite? I'm going to kick your ass!"

The nursemaid, Olivia, called out, "Princess Rachael, we do not say such words, nor do we hit others!" Raye made a face at Jadeite.

A boy with long, white hair walked up to Darien, and he pulled him off Serena. "Darien, stop it. You shouldn't do stuff like that to girls,"

"Oh, Malachite, you ruin all the fun!" Darien said.

"Wait a minute," Princess Angelita of Jupiter, aka Lita, said, "are you saying that girls can't fight back?"

"No," said a brown-haired boy named Nephlyte, "he means that guys will crush girls," He sneered at Lita.

"Oh, bring it on, Nephlyte!" she said as she pounced on the unsuspecting boy,

"Go Lita! Give him the uppercut, now the left hand punch, and end it with a kick in the nuts!" Princess Lumina of Venus, aka Mina, called out.

Two kids, a blond-haired boy and a blue-haired girl, backed away from the rest of the group. "This could get ugly," said Zoicite. Princess Amelia of Mercury, aka Amy, nodded in agreement.

"Ok, children!" Olivia called out, "Time to come inside!" The girls cheered while the boys groaned as they walked back into the palace.

Back to the Scouts

"You were like that all the time," Queen Serenity said. "The boys and girls fought. Meanwhile the parents wanted you to all fall in love, so you could get married. As you can see, that plan wasn't quite working."

"Whoa, can you believe we used to hang out with Beryl's generals?" asked Sailor Jupiter.

"No way!" said Sailor Venus.

"What happened next?" asked Sailor Mercury.

"Let's move on to when you were teenagers," said Queen Serenity.

A Few Years Later in Serena's Bedroom

"Oh great," complained thirteen-year-old Serena, "he's coming back! Of all the ways to spend your fourteenth birthday, and I'm stuck with that jackass from Earth!"

"No doubt, he'll bring those stupid gits with him," said Raye.

"Gits?" asked Amy. She was reading a book in Jovian.

"Generals in training," Raye replied. Lita and Mina giggled.
"But think about it," said Mina, "we are going to go to academy in Mercury soon. This is most likely the last time we have to see those fools for another seven years!"

"I guess so," said Lita.

Suddenly, they heard a knock at the door. It was Luna. "Girls, it is time for training!" she said.

"Hooray," said Raye. "Maybe we'll get to train the whole time they are here, and we won't ever have to see each other!"

"I don't believe that is going to work well, Raye," Luna said.

"Well, a girl can dream," Raye said.

A Few Days Later

"Prince Endymion," Queen Serenity said, "welcome back to the moon! We haven't seen you for two years now."

"It is good to be back," Darien said as he kissed the queen's hand. "I assume you remember my friends Malachite, Jadeite, Nephlyte, and Zoicite?"

"Yes I do," she said. "I believe they are training to be generals?"

"Yes indeed," Darien said.

"I assume, too, that you remember my daughter and her friends?" Queen Serenity said motioning to the five princesses, who were lined up.

Queen Serenity nodded to the page, Ralf. Ralf said, "Her Royal Highness, daughter of King Hermes and Queen Athena of Mercury, Princess Amelia!" Amy stepped forward and curtsied. She was wearing a sleeveless pale blue dress that went to the floor. She had a wreath of bluebells surrounding her head. Zoicite gasped softly as he stared at the pretty porcelain figure of the Mercurian princess. "Wow, she's changed a lot," he thought. "Ok, Zoicite, stop it! She's like three years younger than you!"

Ralf then called out, "Her Royal Highness, daughter of King Ares and Queen Vesta of Mars, Princess Rachael!" Raye stepped forward and curtsied. She was wearing a strapless scarlet dress that went to the floor. Her hair was up in a ponytail, and there was a red carnation placed at the top of the ponytail. Jadeite's eyes went wide when he saw her. She looked up at him, and he put a goofy smile on his face. She arched one eyebrow at him that clearly said, "Back off."

Ralf called out, "Her Royal Highness, daughter of King Zeus and Queen Hera of Jupiter, Princess Angelita!" Lita stepped forward and curtsied. She was wearing a pale pink dress with spaghetti straps. Her hair, which usually put in a sporty ponytail, was put in an elegant French braid, which had small pink flowers that were weaved in. Nephlyte whistled softly, but it was loud enough for Lita to hear him. She gave him a fierce look.

Ralf called out, "Her Royal Highness, daughter of King Hephaestus and Queen Aphrodite, Princess Lumina!" Mina stepped forward and curtsied. She was wearing a pale yellow dress with one sleeveless strap and one spaghetti strap. Her hair was curled, and she wore it down with a daffodil sticking behind her left ear. She looked Malachite, who was in front of her. He didn't seem to notice her at all.

Ralf called out finally, "Her Royal Highness, daughter of King Apollo (AN- I decided to give Serena a father) and Queen Serenity of the Moon, Princess Serenity!" Serena stepped forward and curtsied. She was wearing a Grecian-style purple dress with one strap. Her hair was in a half-ponytail (AN-I don't know if that is the actual name for it, but it is when you pull up the sides of you hair in a ponytail and let the rest of you hair down) with violets lining the sides of her ponytail. She looked at Darien to get a better look at him. A look of hatred passed between the both of them. Darien gave her a look that said, "It is going to be fun to humiliate you," while Serena gave a look that said, "Bring it on, Earth Boy,"

"We will leave you kids alone now," said King Apollo. "You must have some catching up to do." He linked his arms with his wife and walked out the door along with Ralf and the other dignitaries.

"Well," said Darien as he stepped towards Serena, "I didn't know you girls were so desperate to win us as husbands. It's a pity your hard work will be wasted."

"What the hell?" Serena screamed. "Who in their right mind would be desperate for you?"

"Well, any girl really. I am the Prince…" Darien said.

"Of the Earth," Serena interrupted. "We know."

"Yeah, so I am the most eligible bachelor anywhere in the galaxy," Darien said.

"Well, the five girls in this room are the five most powerful princesses in the galaxy, and not one of us would even consider marrying a jackass such as yourself!" Serena yelled.

"This room is emitting so much love," Jadeite said, smirking. He edged towards Raye. "Speaking of love, Princess Rachael, I could use with some right now. Lay it on me!"

Raye slapped him…hard. "How dare you talk to me like that? I am the Martian princess. Filthy gits do not talk to me like that!"

"Gits?" Nephlyte asked. He turned to the Jovian princess. "Do you think I am a filthy git, Lita?"

"That's Princess Angelita to you, buddy. And yes, I do believe you are a filthy general-in-training!" Lita said.

"Oh so that's what it means! I was terribly confused," Zoicite said. "But that's ok. I am sure if I was confused, then you must have been confused as well, Amy,"

Amy looked at him harshly. "Well, first of all it's Princess Amelia. Second, what do you mean I must have been confused? I knew what git stood for." she asked.

"Well, I just meant since you were a girl…" Zoicite started.

"Oh, of course, you assumed that since I was a girl, I must have been stupid. You sexist!" Amy said.

"Yeah, you sexist!" Mina called out.

Malachite pulled her arm. "What are you doing, Princess Lumina? It's not ladylike to meddle in other's conversations," he said with a harsh tone.

"Excuse me?" Mina said. "First of all, it's Mina. Second, don't you dare lecture me, you…git!"

"What did you call me?" he said in a deathly tone.

"I called you a git. What are you going to do about it?" she taunted.

"Why you…" he started.

"Hey don't you dare threaten my friend!" Lita yelled.

"What are you going to do about it?" Nephlyte said.

All of them got into one big argument that resulted in some violence. Suddenly they heard, "HEY, STOP IT! THIS IS NOT BEFITTING FOR ROYALTY!" a voice called out. They all turned to see a furious-looking Artemis.

"Sorry, Artemis. Can we be excused?" Serena asked. Artemis nodded. The girls quickly picked up their skirts and dashed off.

Back in Serena's Room

"How dare he call me desperate?" Serena said. "Who the hell does he think he is?"

"I couldn't believe that Amy started chewing out Zoicite!" Mina giggled.

"He started to majorly piss me off," Amy said as she turned a page in her Neptunian book.

"What are we going to do about it?" Lita said.

"Nothing," Raye replied. The girls all turned to her.

"What do you mean, Raye?" Serena said.

"Look, those guys are pissed at us. They are going to try to get back at us, however if we don't do anything back to them, they just end up looking like bigger asses. That's punishment enough," she said.

"That's a good idea," Mina said. "I wonder what they are planning, though…"

Meanwhile at the Guy's Room

"We have to get back at them," Jadeite said.

"I agree," Nephlyte said.

"Aren't we too old for this?" Malachite asked.

"No," Jadeite replied.

"What are thinking about, Dare?" Zoicite asked the prince who was deep in thought.

"I think I know how we are going to humiliate the princess. We are going to do it in front of everyone. Let's do it at her party," Darien said.

"Great idea!" Nephlyte said.

"Happy fourteenth birthday, Princess Serenity," Darien said evilly.

An Hour before the Party in Serena's Room

"Owwww, Sophia, must you tug so hard?" Serena complained as her lady-in-waiting laced her up in her white halter dress.

"I'm sorry, Serena, but I must ensure the dress stays on the entire evening," Sophia apologized.

"But can't you make it so I can at least breathe in this damn dress?" Serena grumbled softly. The other princesses laughed.

"Amy," Queen Athena complained, "must you be reading right now especially in that position? You are ruining your dress!" Amy was wearing a midnight blue chiffon dress that had spaghetti straps and went to her ankles.

"But Mom," whined Amy, "I'm almost done with this trilogy!"

Across the room, Queen Vesta was trying to smooth out Raye's silk dress, much to Raye's annoyance.

"Mother, quit it!" she shrieked. Sparks started coming out of her fingertips.

"Rachael! Do not attempt to burn me!" Queen Vesta said loudly. She sighed and decided to leave Raye alone. She turned and walked to her friend, Queen Hera, who was messing with Lita's hair.

"Mother, can't we just leave it in a ponytail?" Lita whined,

"No, the crimped look suits your dress well," Queen Hera said.

Queen Aphrodite walked up to the two queens. "Mina threatened to throw crescent beams at me. She got mad when I told her that no one but the other girls and the parents knew her alter-ego. I told her to watch out and make sure she didn't expose herself. Then, the she kicked me out," she exclaimed.

"Ok, Your Majesties, I do believe all five princesses are ready. Our work is done," Sophia said.

The queens gave a cheer of joy and left the room. The girls sat down and grumbled for a while until Artemis and Luna came and told them it was time for them to make their appearance. The girls descended down the stairs when Ralf announced them. They stood in a corner through the first two dances. When the first waltz began, Crown Prince Hayden (AN- I know I use that name a lot in my stories. I just love that name!) of Mercury, Amy's older brother, approached Serena for a dance. Hayden was looked upon as the universal big brother by all five girls, so they had no romantic feelings for him at all (and vice versa).

Across the ballroom, the five boys rounded up. "Ok, men, this is our chance! Places everyone!" Darien said.

"Darien, I beg of you, please reconsider," Malachite said.

"Mal, you need to stop ruining all the fun for once," Jadeite said.

"I agree," Nephlyte said as he pulled out his bow and arrow that was hidden behind his tux jacket. Zoicite pulled out a basket of tomatoes that he had stolen and hidden underneath a nearby table. All five boys attached tomatoes to their arrows.

"Finally, our archery practice will come to use. I used to think it was so primitive, since sword-fighting is much more common, but now I really graciously thank Master Gridel for teaching us archery." Darien said.

"Ok, men, spread out," Jadeite whispered. They all spread out throughout the ballroom. The remainder of the people in the ballroom were too busy watching the handsome Prince of Mercury dance with the attractive Princess of the Moon to notice them. When they danced precisely in the middle of the ballroom, all five boys shot their arrows with tomatoes at the princess. All five arrows hit the target accurately.

"What is going on?" Serena suddenly screamed in surprise. She looked down at her originally white dress that was now colored red from the tomato juice. Tears started streaming down her cheek. She looked at Darien, who was smiling. He stopped smiling when he noticed the look she was given him wasn't hatred like he had expected. It almost looked like she felt sorry for him. She quickly turned on her heel, and she started to run up the ballroom stairs. No one was able to stop her at her speed. Amy, Lita, and Mina hurried to follow her. Raye didn't. She walked towards the boys.

"Good trick," she said sarcastically.

"Yeah, I agree…" Jadeite started to say.

She turned to him harshly, "Do not talk to me directly. I've been letting it slide. Remember your place. You are nothing but a lowly general in training. I am a princess. You are not to speak to me unless you are spoken to," she interrupted. Jadeite opened his mouth to say something but closed it. Raye turned back to Darien. "I really do feel sorry for your people, Prince Endymion. They get an incompetent king like you in the future. Tsk, tsk. But, I must say, revenge is sweet, and you can be sure Princess Serenity will get it," She left the confused boys as she ran up the stairs after her friends.

A Few Minutes Later in Serena's Room

"Can you believe them? They ruined your party!" Mina cried.

"I really want to kick their asses!" Lita yelled.

"The Sailor Scouts can kick their asses!" Raye said.

"No, guys, let's not get into that! That will be messy!" Amy exclaimed.

"But we have to get revenge on them!" Lita said.

"Who said we won't?" Serena suddenly said. The girls turned to her because that was the first thing she had said for a long time.

"What do you propose?" Mina asked. "We could dump paint on them, put spiders on their pillows!"

"No I have a much better idea, one that will hurt them in the worst possible way, but it will take some time," Serena said.

"How much time?" Raye asked,

"Seven years," she replied.

"Seven years!" Lita exclaimed. "What kind of revenge takes seven years?!"

"My kind of revenge," Serena answered simply.

"And that is?" Amy asked.

"I am going to spend the next seven years making myself beautiful, no not beautiful, gorgeous. I am going to make myself the most beautiful woman in the entire galaxy, surpassing my own mother's beauty. I will become graceful, delicate, smart, elegant, sophisticated, and pretty much everything that makes a desirable woman, and I am going to make Prince Endymion of Earth fall in love with me, and then I will crush him," Serena said.

"But how do you know Darien will fall in love with you?" Amy asked.

"Well, Darien desires anything that is beautiful. You and I have both seen him flirt with the maids years ago. Why would he not want the most beautiful woman in the galaxy?" Serena asked.

"There is no reason," Raye replied, smiling.

"Well then, who's going to help me?" Serena asked.

"We are!" the girls cried.

"Prince Endymion of Earth, meet your doom," Serena said evilly.

AN- How do you like it so far? I know it is quite long, I kind of tend to do that. Please review!
