---------------------------------------------------------
The moon kingdom was a beautiful place full of life and glimmering beauty.
For some it was a memorable place, for others, they'd rather forget it.
But one little girl loved everything about it. The sounds, the smells, the people, and the royalty. She dreamed of the day when she could finally live in Crystal Tokyo's shimmering palace. The girl was only three years old the day it all happened.
A little girl with curly reddish-orangey brown hair in a white dress and slightly tanned skin, skipped down a path towards he palace. She was smiling and singing a cute little song. "Moon shine bright moon shine nice. Moon shine for you and me tonight."
She had almost reached the palace when a man stepped up to her.
"Hello little sun beam." He said to her. She looked up and smiled.
"Hi daddy. Can I see Ri Ri now?" said the little girl.
"You know you're not supposed to be in the palace. I could get in trouble." said her father. "Pwease Daddy. I promise I behave." said the little girl.
"Oh alright. But only this time. You know I'm the king so I am very busy.
Besides the Princess needs me. You have your mom take care of you." said her father.
She looked at him with sad eyes. "Ok Daddy. But I miss you."
"Its alright Christiana. Cheer up. We're going into the palace." said her father.
"Ok." she said as they entered the palace's secret entry way.
The girl's frown turned into a smile again as they finally entered the palace.
"Ooh daddy. Palace is pretty." said Christiana. "Yes it is Christi." said her father.
They walked down a small corridor and to the room where there was another small girl. She was playing with her dolls. She was dressed in a white dress with gold trimmings and she had pink cotton candy colored hair that was shaped like bunny ears.
She looked no more than 5. The girl giggled when she saw the two walk in.
She ran to the king with a huge smile and a giggle. "Daddy. You're back."
"Yes I am small lady." the king. "I missed you." she said.
Then she noticed the little girl beside him. "Daddy who's she?" she asked.
"This is Christiana. She is one of the moon children I told you about.
You know, the ones that are going to be your playmates once a month."
"Oh yea I remember." She smiled as she held out her hand to the little girl that was hiding behind the king's leg. "Come on I don't bite." said the Princess.
The little girl slowly inched her hand towards the pink haired girl.
"Ri Ri play with me?" said Christiana. "Yea. That's why you're here." said the Princess.
When Christiana finally grabbed her hand she didn't feel scared or sad anymore.
"Wanna play dolls?" asked the Princess. "Yesh. Pwease." said Christiana as she sat down at the little pink table. The king sat between the two as they played with their dolls.
"Pwincess Ri Ri you pretty." said Christiana with a smile.
"Thanks I think you're pretty too." said the Princess.
The girls giggled and continued playing. "Wanna learn a song?" Christiana asked the princess. "Ok sing it" said the princess happily. "Ok. Moon shine bright moon shine nice. Moon shine for you and me tonight." Christiana sang happily.
(A/N: Did you notice how this this 3yr.old girl has a big vocabulary but seems
to forget saying certain letters? Funny isn't it?)
"That's cute. Can you sing it with me?" said the princess. "Ok" said Christiana.
"Moon shine bright moon shine nice. Moon shine for you and me tonight." the girls sang in unison. Then they giggled. The king smiled as he watched his two daughters play together. (A/N: Too bad he knew this would be the last time they would play together on the moon.) The two girl played happily for about an hour and then there was a knock at the door. "Play nice" The king said as he got up to answer the door.
A guard was at the door. "King Endymion sir, the enemy is approaching fast."
"Ready the troops." then King Endymion grabbed Christiana. "Take this little one with you. Her mother is outside the palace. Make sure the two are safely delivered to the time gates. Tell Pluto to deliver them to the past." said King Endymion.
"Right sir." The guard carried off a now crying Christiana.
"Princess come with me. Its not safe here for you." then he and the princess walked off together.
~ Outside the palace ~ "Christiana! Christiana! Oh where could that girl be?" said a worried mother with long curly red orange hair. "Mam I believe this little one is yours." said the guard. "Yes she is. Oh thank god. Where did you find her?" asked her mother.
"Inside the palace mam. But there's no time for small talk now. By orders of the king, you two are to be escorted to the time gates and sent to the past."
"But why. We haven't done anything wrong." said Christana's mother.
"Sorry mam those are my orders." said the guard as he teleported them all to the time gates. As they arrived at the gates the guard told Sailor Pluto his orders.
Although Sailor Pluto knew why this was ordered she still did as told.
"Daddy, kitty Bella." were the last words heard from Christiana as the crying girl and her mother disappeared into the time gates.
What came to pass that same night was the near destruction of the Silver Millennium itself. The evil forces rose and fairly much over powered Neo Queen Serenity, forcing her faithful Senshi to encase her body within a layer of quartz crystal to prevent her from being destroyed. Why would the mighty empress nearly be defeated? Her Ginzuishou (Silver Crystal) had disappeared from it's ceremonial place somehow. She'd been unable to defend the kingdom from the seeping black death that spread like wildfire, or her own families life..
The black death of a plague I speak of is a form of Negative Energy that spreads like a mist over the planet, seeking out energy.. and then draining it from their very souls.. Adults, children, animals. Anything that was left over from the initial over blasted attack wave. Every bit of life was sucked dry, till the body simply faded.
The scenery seemed to be nothing more than the leftovers from a world war lost and won all at once.. Though the castle seemed untouched.. Except for a few small cracks, it still stood upright tall and proud. The glass like walls glinting amid the dust and blood and debris like a glittering star of hope. the last of the Silver Millennium..
The bodies of the inner sacred senshi lay atop tables in the bowels of the Palace, near the throne room. Their Senshi fuku still in power, the faint essence of their planets still swirling around them form their last battle. Their eyes were closed though, as their physical selves were in a coma brought on by the effects of over using their powers to protect the queen, themselves, and fight at once.
King Endymion as well was in a coma, his body laying silently atop a large crystalline table. Cloak was kept underneath himself, staff at his side, mask still covering his face as it did in his days as Tuxedo Mask. Raven black hair still shone, despite the length of time he'd been atop that table..
The guardian cats were asleep on a large cushion, their noses buried in their fluffy tails. Artemis, the snow white feline, was curled up around Luna. The black cat was curled around a small gray kitten.. Though signs of another were evident. It was another kitten who had fur that didn't match either of the adults, or the kitten, it was found on the edge of a sleeping dip in the pillow.
And in the back of the room in a gigantic tomb of crystal and quartz lay Neo Queen Serenity. Long black lashes lay closed upon alabaster cheeks, the characteristically low cut dress still perfectly white and crisp. Odango's still were there as well, the long ends extending nearly to her ankles, brushed to a polish.
Who had put them all in their resting places if all had perished? Who possibly could have done all this, even as the plague continued to assault the walls? Maybe the mystery was solved when the phantom like shoe of King Endymion was seen behind a curtain.. Looking intently at a monitor screen.
Yes, it was really him. He chose to will his body to stay inanimate while his spirit came out to keep track of things.. At the moment, those crystal blue hues were watching a specific screen, in which a small girl with orange brown hair was being ushered towards a bus stop by a woman with similar curls..
He faintly smiled, a small tear working its way down his cheek.. As far as tears on ghosts go, that is. The child, if you hadn't already guessed, was Christiana.. He wished so badly he could go and visit her, if only to see how she has grown.. True, he's been watching her and Rini like a hawk, but he felt as though he'd missed so much.
The pink haired child was on another screen, laughing happily among the company of his past self and Usagi-chan. Everything seemed to be in order.. Now his gloved, translucent hands keyed lightly upon the keyboard.. Bringing up another monitor picture.
This one held the image of a small blonde child, eyes almost like his.. Pale gray, speckled with light blue. Long locks of thick blonde hair hung to the knees of her hospital gown.. Right arm was in a cast, hefting above her form by a wench. She was in the same time as the previous two children.. but in a different place..
It seemed as though she hadn't had as easy a time as them.. How he wished that every run through Pluto's portal resulted in rebirth.. This girl had simply landed in the downtown areas of Tokyo, Japan. Picked up and set into a hospital for her wounds to be treated.. A story created to explain her mysterious circumstances..
But she'd not be able to forget this place. Never be able to forget the Silver Millennium.. Yet why? why would he be so intent upon watching a child that apparently had nothing to do with himself? He watched.. And just smiled a bit as he closed down the screen, enlarging the other two to continue watching as the last of his kingdom slept..
And so, the story truly begins..

Well that's my new story beginning. Hope you liked it. Please feel free to review it.
I don't really mind them. I even welcome some reviews that may seem harsh.
They may actually be helpful. To those who have been reviewing to the story as it was, thank you, most of the things you said were quite helpful and I took a lot of it in to consideration when I started writing this. And hey even though many of you came down hard on me, I still thank you. Sometimes it just takes a little bit of meanness for it to stick to me and be helpful. Anyways, that's all I have to say for now. I'm working on fixing other chapters. Just a bit of editing really. Nothing major though.
Most of it will stay the same. I'll try to watch the typos to so then everyone will be happy.
Oh and By the way M-Chan is back and she is helping me with the writing.
So thanks to her. ja ne Lady Alexis
