Sailor Moon
The truth about the prince of Earth- chapter 3
(I do not own the characters I only own the plot, which comes from my insane mind.)
When Raye, Hotaru, Michelle, Rini, and the knights got Serena to the temple they took her to Raye's room,
Where Hotaru put Serena into a healing sleep. As she slept she had a dream about the moon kingdom.
Dream
A young woman in a white cloak with the hood up, wearing the clothes of someone who worked in the palace, walked up Steward Street, heading to the castle, with the other servants returning from their day offs. As she approached the palace, she lowered the hood even lower hiding her face. She had to do this since she wasn't supposed to be outside the castle without one of her guardians. For she was not only the Princess of the moon, but she was the heir to the throne of the leading kingdom of the Silver Alliance. Once she got inside the castle she ran up the stairs located in the servant's wing to her own wing of the castle. When she stepped into her room she heard a voice say,
"Cutting it kind of close aren't you Serena? The ball starts in half an hour." And with that a young woman in a pale gold strapless floor-length dress stepped into Serena's line of vision.
"Mina, not so loud. Someone might hear you. You know as I do that I am not supposed to leave the palace without you or one of the other girls." Serena told the captain of her guardian scouts, as she closed the door and went into the bathroom to change into her pure white ball gown.
"Hurry up Sere. You know that your mother hates it when you are late." Mina told her as she set out strands of pearls.
Serena came out and sat in front of her pink vanity and used two strands of pearls to tie her hair into the two bun pigtails that was the royal hairstyle. She then placed the final strand around her wrist as a bracelet. Then Mina applied a light blush and some lip gloss to Serena's face.
"There, now we have ten minutes to get the anti-chamber. Any ideas on how we will make it in time?" Mina asked her princess.
"Well there is always the servant's wing. There won't be anyone down there because of the ball. Also there is a staircase that leads to the front of the antechamber." Serena told her after thinking about it.
"That should do it." Mina said as she walked to the door. Serena followed and as they were walking down the staircase to the servant's wing, she asked,
"Mina, do you have any idea why mother decided to have a ball tonight?"
"I don't have any idea Sere." Mina told her.
'Do you really have no idea what today is princess? Andrew would be very disappointed in you.' She thought to herself.
They then started to run through the wing and up the stairs to the door of the anti-chamber. When they walked in they noted the looks on the rest of the planetary princesses. The princesses of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune all had looks of shock on them, the princess of Uranus had a smug look to hers, and the princesses of Saturn and Pluto had all knowing looks to theirs.
"Well Amy, Raye, Lita, Michelle I believe that you owe me ten coins each." Amara the princess of Uranus and also the scouts of the winds said. Amy the scout learning and also the princess of mercury pulled her mini-data computer from her sub-space pocket and started to try and figure out where her logic went wrong. Mina noticed this and said,
"Amy we do not have time for that." she looked to the servant that was to announce all the arrivals and said,
"Will you please tell the queen and the guests that we are here?" The servant bowed and walked to the double doors that led into the throne room and announced to the ballroom,
"Their royal highnesses the Princess of Mercury, the Princess of Mars, the Princess of Venus, the Princess of Jupiter, the Princess of Uranus, the Princess of Neptune, the Princess of Saturn, the Princess of Pluto, and her Imperial Highness Princess Serena of the Moon."
The princesses walked down the stairs in pairs. Mercury and Mars, Venus, and Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, and Saturn and Pluto.
Serena followed them by herself, thinking of the two people that she wanted to see, and the only ones that would escort her to the balls.
Everyone in the room saw the frown on their princess's face and knew why it was. She had, had the same look at every ball since her twin brother had gone to the sun kingdom to manage it since their father had died, and since the prince of Earth had gone back to his planet to crush a rebellion.
Queen Serenity stood as she saw her daughter and her court come towards the throne. She noticed that her daughter was so lost in her thoughts that she hadn't notices the corner of presents. After her daughter had taken her place next to her, she called out to the rest of the ballroom,
"Honored Royals from the other kingdoms of the alliance, and guests from our own moon kingdom, we are gathered here today to celebrate the 18th Birthday of Princess Serena. So mingle and enjoy the ball. In a little while Serena will open her gifts." With that Queen Serenity sat down in the throne. Serena stood at her mother's side as she watched the families of her court come and collect their daughters so that they could visit for the night. She also watched Amara and Michelle dance to a waltz.
"Kitten," Queen Serenity said to her, "Why don't you go dance and enjoy yourself?"
"Mother, you know as well as I do that there are only two men that I will dance with, and neither one of them is here right now." She replied.
Queen Serenity smiled as she stood once more. The music stopped and she said,
"It is time for presents."
Serena got studying materials from the kingdom of Mercury, A glass figurine of herself and her twin brother from the people of Mars, from the people of Venus she received hair care products and makeup in her favorite shades, from Jupiter she got her favorite desserts, from Uranus she received a wonderfully made sword and the equipment to care for it., from Neptune she received a new piano and violin, from Saturn she received a new saddle for her horse, and from Pluto received dresses that were designed by Trista the princess of Pluto. The only thing that she couldn't figure out was the fact that there was nothing from her mother.
"Don't worry kitten, my gifts will be here shortly." Queen Serenity told her as the music started playing. About 15 minutes later the double doors opened and the servant announced the arrival of more guests.
"The Prince of Earth and his generals, and his Imperial Highness Prince Andrew of the Sun and Moon kingdoms." With that seven men entered. The princesses all ran to the Throne and stood in front of Serena in case it was a trick of the nega-verse. The young men stood in front of the throne and bowed. Queen Serenity stood and looked at them carefully. She then walked forward and embraced the young man at the front that looked so much like the princess; the only difference was the length of his hair.
"You are late son." She reprimanded lightly.
"Sorry mother, I didn't know what to get the birthday girl." He said looking at the wall of princesses that was blocking him from his twin.
He watched with amusement at the sight of his sister pushing through small space between Princess Jupiter, and Princess Uranus. She finally got through and stood in front of her twin brother, her boyfriend, and her boyfriend's generals. All seven of them bowed to her.
"Andrew?" She asked not believing that he was here since when she would ask every year if he was allowed to come to her birthdays and since the answer was always the same, she finally gave up. He hugged her gently as he said,
"It's me sis. I'm finally home."
"But how? Mother always told me that you couldn't leave in case of an attack."
"Well there was no sign of trouble, so mother sent me a message inviting me back for our 18th birthday as a surprise for you." As he said that he was tapped on the shoulder by the man everyone thought was the prince of Earth,
"You know that you can't hog her to yourself." Andrew let go of his sister so that she could greet her boyfriend. She gave him a hug as she asked,
"How are you here? I thought you had to take care of a rebellion." The Inner scouts convinced that it wasn't a trick ran to their own loves and hugged them closely. Serena smiled when she saw Mina run into the arms of her brother.
"Why don't you go down to the gardens?" Queen Serenity told them kindly, I am sure that you all have some catching up to do." They each bowed to the queen and walked outside. When they reached the garden Raye and Chad headed toward the Martian part of the garden, Amy and Greg headed to the Mercuian part, Mina and Andrew toward the Venusians, Lita and Ken headed to Jupiter's part of the garden. Serena and Darien were walking in the rose garden when they heard the screams.
"Good it sounds like the generals were successful." Darien said with a smirk.
"What do you mean?" Serena asked him, as she backed away.
"I mean we are the attacking force of the Nega-forces army. We are going to destroy the silver millennium. It was quiet easy you know. If we had known that it would be this easy we would have done it a long-time ago." He told her drawing his sword.
"You aren't my prince. Where is he, and where is my brother?" She asked backing up and summoning the sword that she had been given from her subspace pocket.
"We have killed them. It was quite easy to make you all believe that we were them. A quick and easy spell." He told her as he charged at her. She blocked it, as she spun away, they kept blocking and attacking each other for a while when a burst of golden energy hit Darien in the chest. They looked around and saw Andrew collapse to the ground and Serena ran to his side.
"Drew can you hear me?" She asked as she stroked his hair. Andrew grasped his sister's hand as he told her,
"Sis you have to listen to me. We expected the attack and sent the real prince of Earth to his sister, on their mother's planet. Along with the knights of Saturn and Pluto. The real Chad, Ken, Greg, and I each came here to try and help. I managed to beat the clone that Beryl made of me but I was too late to save Mina. I came here hoping that I wasn't too late to save you." He started to cough, each one blood came spraying out, "I love you and I hope that you live that normal life you always wanted." he told her when it was over. He reached his hand up to cup her cheek but the hand dropped as he died.
"So there is the brat of Serenity. Still alive are you? I am going to have to fix that!" An evil voice called out to her. Serena stood and faced the speaker. She saw a woman dressed in purple and with wild red hair.
"Who are you that attack the moon kingdom?" She asked.
"I am Queen Beryl, leader of the nega-verse. Not that you will be around much longer for it to matter." With that she released a flood of energy that killed the princess instantly. Queen Serenity had ran outside to fight when she saw that Beryl had killed her daughter. With the last of her power she locked the nega-verse away with the silver crystal and sent her daughter and her court to the future. She also sent the prince and princess of Earth, and the knights that were with them to the future. She then sent her advisors to the future and then proceeded to die.
End Dream
Serena awoke with all of her true memories of the past. She ran outside to where all of the scouts both present and future along with the knights, waited with Darien knocked out and bound by Venus's chains. Everyone turned around when they saw her.
"Sere, are you ok?" Lita asked her friend. She nodded her head and looked at Rini, and Andrew who were talking quietly together. She smiled at the sight and looked at Amara.
"How bad do you want to kick his butt?" She asked.
"Very badly but I can't since he is your prince." She replied. Andrew, Greg, Ken, and Chad all looked shocked by the news.
"How is that possible? He wasn't even on the moon when it was attacked." Greg asked. It was Amy, Lita, Mina, Raye, Amara, and Michelle's turn to look shocked.
"It is simple. This is the man that tricked us into believing that he was my prince. Though my mother did send them to the future as well, she kept him, his sister, and the knights that were with him on the planet that they were on at the time." Serena said softly, "When I was in the healing sleep, I remembered everything. Including the fact that I have a twin brother, whom I was separated from in this time. Though it is nice that he still thinks of me as a sister. I also remember who the true prince is and after we take care of Darien, I am going to him."
Andrew walked up to her and said, "So you remember after so long? I thought that you never would remember me sis." With that he gave her a hug. Helios looked at them and said,
"I had something to do with her remembering. I was given orders when I took up my post that when the fake prince was brought in that when the silver princess lay in a healing sleep that I was to return the true forgotten memories." Serena looked over at him and said,
"Well, I thank you. I am glad that I have my memories back. I am also glad that my future daughter has someone other than us that keeps her safe." Then the happy time ended because Darien started to awaken.
(Well that is it for now. What do you think? Let me know and I hope that you aren't too confused. Well till next time, JA Ne!)
