I, May Elliott, do not own Sailor Moon or any of its characters. Neither was it my original idea, regretfully. Therefore, I am doing the next best thing and collaborating a story containing it's characters. I have no money and have noted it's not mine, so please don't sue me...Well thanks :)

"Artemis, Crystal Tokyo is even more beautiful than the Kingdom on the Moon was," sighed Luna, as the two strolled down a street lined with flowers. "Who would have thought that NeoQueen Serenity would turn out so beautifully, judging from having to transform her from Usagi." Luna gave a little giggle as she twirled a finger through her dark, curly hair.
"Yes, Luna, everything has turned out fairly well. Not exactly as I had planned, but well."
"Can I ask you something, Artemis?"
"Anything, Love, anything," Artemis smiled sweetly at Luna, admiring her adorable round face with a crescent moon matching his.
"Are you ever disappointed that things between you and Venus- well Minako at the time- didn't work out?" there was a note of melancholy in her voice.
"Never, Luna, never," his blue eyes sparkled as he looked into her troubled eyes. "I should have realized from the start that it would only be natural for the generals to be released from Beryl's spell after the Dark Kingdom was destroyed. And there was no doubt in my mind that the Senshi could handle the Dark Kingdom. I tried to fight my common sense because the lust was too strong, but Venus fell in love with Kunzite when he returned to the Moon Kingdom. And I can't blame her, they were soul mates. Pluto told me that they were soul mates. Then, Pluto told me who my soul mate was," Artemis smiled, wrapping his arms around Luna's waist, pulling her into a soft kiss. "I was so blind, Luna, you were here all along." he murmured into her ear.
Luna giggled, "Oh, Artemis," as she leaned into another kiss. As their embrace became deeper, an urgent wail could be heard. It was the crying of a baby. The two broke their embrace in search of the possessor of such strong lungs, but the baby was nowhere to be seen. The two followed the sound into a small garden off of the side of the road. Finally, Luna achieved success. "Artemis!" She exclaimed, panicked. "Somebody left a baby in a basket with a note!" She pulled the baby up and tucked it under one arm, while she opened the note with her free hand. "Oh, Artemis, listen to this:
'To the Finder of Diana-
Please do not think me cruel, but I must give this child up. I am only a teenage girl and I have no way to care for her. My parents are no longer living, so I cannot seek their help. Her father left after he found out I was pregnant. Please take care of my baby, I love her, tell her that. I don't want her to hate me. I beg you, care for her.'"
"It's not signed?" asked Artemis.
"No, it's not." Luna now cradled the child in both of her arms. "She's so cute. Would you like to hold her?"
Artemis hesitated. Babies generally made him nervous, "Sure, honey." He held out his arms, awkwardly, preparing to receive the baby in them. As Luna handed little Diana into his arms, her hands brushed his skin...causing a brilliant light to surround the baby. All three gasped as warmth consumed their bodies. After the light slowly faded, Artemis and Luna leaned over to look into the babe's face. There, in the center of her forehead was a tiny crescent moon. The baby giggled sweetly as Artemis scooped her into his arms, with a grin.
"What do you think it means, Artemis?" Luna shyly inquired.
"I think....I think it means she's ours in a way. Meant to be our baby in some strange way...she has the mark of an advisor. Maybe we're meant to to mentor her to be an advisor."
"Why on Earth would there be need for another advisor? I am the Queen's, you are the King's... Unless... isn't NeoQueen Serenity planning to have a baby?" Luna pondered out loud.
"I think you've got it Luna, Endymion spoke to me yesterday. I'm not supposed to say anything, but he believes the Queen is pregnant. Perhaps little Diana is meant to be the advisor to the new member of the Royal Family." Artemis looked down at the baby, lovingly. He had never been into babies, really, but this made him so happy. He could tell that it also made Luna happy, too, making him even happier.
A/N: Think I'm gonna do the rest of the story from Diana's perspective. We'll see how it goes.
