George's dream, better yet his memory, put him right within a huge palace, waiting outside a huge set of double doors, dressed similar to how court jesters are normally pictured as dressing.

"Can you believe it brother? Not only do we get to perform for Queen Serenity like usual but for the prince, the princess and the princess' court as well." Fred stood beside him dressed the same and grinning from ear to ear in excitement.

George grinned back. "It's the first time too we've been able to get this close to the Princess."

A guard opened the door and nodded to the twin jesters. "Their highnesses are ready for you now."

The twins went in and performed,telling jokes, doing tricks and playing minor harmless pranks on each other. Both twins delighting in the full giggles coming from Princess Serenity and her court of senshi guardians. At the end of the show, they bowed to the enthusiastic applause before leaving the room.

George had found himself staring into space dreamily once they were out of the room, thinking about Princess Serenity. Her giggles had sounded like sweet bells to him and beautifully genuine.

Fred looked over at his twin and smirked. "Smitten with one of the ladies we performed for dear brother?"

George shook his head. "What?" He blushed. "And what if I am?"

"I'm just curious to know which one, is all."

"Princess Serenity. Not that it matters. She's the princess. She wouldn't give me the time of day to get to know her, even just as a friend."

"You don't know that. Rumor is she's much more approachable than you would think. Just don't give her Senshi or the prince reason not to trust you. Simple enough." Fred encouraged.

"You're right. I can at least give it a shot. Thanks for not teasing me." George smiled.

"What are brothers for?" Fred grinned.

The scene changed to sometime after, with George out in the palace gardens with Princess Serenity, the two laughing and talking and getting to know each other for hours. When Serenity had to return to her duties as a princess, George sought out his brother.

"So? How did it go?" Fred asked in excitement.

"It was wonderful. She's the most wonderful person I know, besides you of course. She's so sweet and kind and warm hearted. Her laughter is...heavenly...like nothing I've ever heard. And her eyes...are so expressive. I could get lost in them all day if she would let me." George explained.

"Yep. You are smitten with her. I've never heard you be so descriptive about a girl to that extent." Fred chuckled.

"Aw. Lay off Fred." George tossed a pillow at him.

The scene changed again, most likely months later. Again it was George and Princess Serenity in the gardens.

"I know I'm not a prince Serenity, but would you give me the chance of dating you, showing you that I could be the one for you?"

Princess Serenity sighed and looked down. "I wish I could George. But I'm engaged?"

"Engaged? How? You said you weren't seeing anyone." He asked in fear.

"I wasn't. It's an arranged marriage. To seal an alliance between the moon and Earth. Earth is the only planet in the system that's not part of the alliance and this marriage would bring them in at last. As the heir to the throne, I...have a duty to my kingdom and the arranged marriage is part of that duty. I'll understand if my situation causes you to end our friendship." She still hadn't looked him in the eye.

He sighed and smiled softly before pressing a light kiss to her forehead. "Serenity, there is absolutely nothing that would make me want to end our friendship. Not even the possibility of death would cause me to make such a decision. Damn whoever doesn't like it, excuse my language by the way. Not even your husband to be will make me give up our friendship. You don't need to apologize for something that was out of our control."

She looked up at him with a soft smile. "Thank you for understanding. I was afraid the news would make you hate me." She took his hand in hers and squeezed it gently. She then took a deep breath, closed her eyes and kissed him. His eyes widened at first, but then he closed his eyes too and returned the kiss, gently cupping her cheek.

They held the kiss for a few minutes, before George reluctantly pulled away. He gently stroked her cheek. "May I ask what that was for, dear Princess of my heart."

She smiled tenderly and blushed at his words that were an obvious sign of how much he cares for her. "So you knew what my answer would have been if not for this stupid arranged marriage."

His eyes widened in surprise. "Really? You really...?"

Serenity nodded. "I really would. Maybe one day...if not this lifetime then maybe the next...we will find each other again and have true happiness."

"Perhaps we shall. Until then, let's promise to support each other having a happiness in this one. It would not do for us to be miserable. Even if that happiness we have now includes loving other people. My heart is forever yours Serenity, I promise. No matter who else I may love, my love for them will never hold up to how much I love you." George smiled.

She smiled back. "You are right. It is the same for me. No one else could ever be as loved by me as you are. A promise, yeah?"

"A promise." He was about to lean in for another kiss when the sounds of voices calling her reached their ears. "Your guardians. You better go. See you later."

Serenity sighed and nodded as she stood up. "See you." With a last smile, she headed off in the direction that her guardian senshi's voices were coming from.

The scene changed again. This time it seemed to be set sometime after George's talk with Princess Serenity. There had been word that danger was brewing on Earth that could impact the moon kingdom. Every able bodied male was being pulled to train, George and Fred included. The scene was a training session for the twin jesters.

"Sure you are holding up okay? The princess really does seem to be in love with that Earth prince." Fred asked

"I am fine Fred. And she is not really in love with him. Just playing the part. She is expected to look happily in love with him for the sake of the people. As far as I know, you are the only other person besides myself and her who knows that she would be with me if not for that arrangement. And honestly I find it a bit of a consolation that since the trouble started on Earth, Prince Draconis has been a bit more suspicious towards Prince Endymion. We both know how protective Prince Draconis is of Princess Serenity. That alone makes me feel better since the senshi seem to be too caught up with Prince Endymion's guards to be suspicious as they should. It is just too much of a coincidence that the trouble on Earth started not long after the announcement of Princess Serenity's engagement to Prince Endymion." George explained.

Fred scoffed. "Yeah. Sounds more like you are jealous and just itching for a way to free her from that marriage."

"I mean it Fred. I am not saying that Prince Endymion is involved directly in whatever is brewing on Earth. But it could at least be an effect of the engagement. At horribly best, it is a shunted love or admirer of Prince Endymion who wants to kill Princess Serenity as an attempt to win Prince Endymion. At horribly worst, he is involved and it is a plot to kill Queen Serenity so that he and Princess Serenity would be forced to wed sooner and take the throne, allowing him complete control, or so he believes, of the kingdom and by default, of the silver alliance. And yes I know how bad both possibilities sound as I do not want harm to come to either Princess Serenity or Queen Serenity. But for her sake definitely, I would hope that Prince Endymion is not involved in the brewing trouble to that extent of the harm towards Queen Serenity." George sighed.

Fred nodded with a sigh. "That all actually does make sense and sound plausible. Though I have heard something said that if Queen Serenity does die before Princess Serenity is wed, then the coronation of the Princess would come first, whether she's engaged or not. It would then give her the power to end the engagement in such a case. Whether or not she is aware of that, I do not know."

George shook his head. "With as much as they probably keep from her, I would not be surprised if she does not know about that. But...it is not my place nor yours to tell her. We should not even know about that ourselves."

The scene changed again. In the time that had passed, George had gotten to be on better terms with the Lunarian prince, Serenity's twin brother. The night of the birthday ball held to celebrate the birthday of Draconis and Serenity, George and Draconis were surprised to come across Prince Endymion speaking to a woman through a mirror. As the two listened to the conversation, they were horrified to learn that Endymion had indeed plotted with this woman, who they learned to be Beryl the very woman stirring up trouble on Earth, to kill Queen Serenity so that Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion would take the throne quickly.

George and Draconis hurried to try to get to Queen Serenity to warn her, but it seemed every time they tried, she was always surrounded by other nobles or commoners. After a while, Princess Serenity with Prince Endymion joined the dancing, mesmerizing the crowd temporarily. But the crowd was not held long as the advisers, Luna and Artemis, ran through the ballroom sounding the alarm that the kingdom was under attack from Beryl and the Dark Kingdom. The battle was fierce, and the senshi fell to Prince Endymion's generals rather than fight them.

As much as George and Draconis currently despised Prince Endymion for his plot to kill Queen Serenity, they could not help but notice that Prince Endymion had been just as surprised as they had to see his generals fighting in the battle on the side of the enemy. It was also incredible to watch his surprise at seeing Beryl had had her own plans for the battle, the woman having planned to attack and kill Princess Serenity with the screeched claims that Princess Serenity had stolen Endymion from her. But before her attack could hit the princess, Endymion had stepped between, instantly killed from the attack. Princess Serenity grabbed Endymion's sword and ran towards Draconis and George after the pair had called her name to get her attention, happy at seeing that the pair were still unharmed. They had ran to meet her halfway. But that relief was short lived as both were hit from behind before she reached them. As she watched the light slowly leave their eyes, she sank down beside their fallen bodies. In her grief, she took Endymion's sword and plunged it into her chest to end her life. "May we meet again and find happiness in the next life..." Were her last uttered words as she closed her eyes and breathed her last before the dream finally ended to George's relief.

He woke up almost instantly after the dream first action was to catch his breath and calm his racing heartbeat. Once he had managed that, George looked at the sleeping Usagi who was curled up next to him. His instinct yelled at him to check for a sword wound in her chest and make sure she truly was unharmed but he felt that was a little too invasive for his liking so he settled for watching her breathing instead. After watching the rise and fall of her chest a couple of times and fully reassured that she was alive, he smiled and pressed a gentle kiss to the top of her head before carefully sliding his arm out from under her. He then stood up and headed out the room to the bathroom. Just as he started to splash water on his face at one of the sinks, Fred walked in and stood at the other sink.

"Crazy dream, wasn't it? Us as court jesters in the Silver Millennium?" Fred asked.

"Fits us quite well honestly. Considering our jokester personality. Though I do worry for Serenity. If she saw in her dream just as much as we did, including what Draconis and I learned about Endymion back then...it will crush her." George sighed as he turned off the water.

"Well good thing she has you and Draconis back, then. The two of you will get her through that news, just as you would have back then. Look at all she has been through since rebirth. Yeah at first the knowledge will hurt her and watching her might get painful. But she has so many people to help her and encourage her and support her. She will pull through this and be stronger than before. She is no longer the delicate, sheltered princess that she was back then. You saw her fighting those youma earlier. Fierce and determined to protect, the leader that Queen Serenity would have wanted her to be. She will be okay."

"You're right. I just can not help but worry for her sake. Thanks Freddie."

"George." Usagi's voice called out with a slight hint of fear.

"Fred...come back to bed." Angelina's voice was next.

Fred chuckled. "Anytime. Now it seems our ladies beckon us to return to their sides." He turned and left the bathroom to return to his room and Angelina.

"Remember Freddie, silencing charm please!" George teased before returning to his own room.

Usagi was sitting up with her knees pulled up to her chest. Her eyes held the fear her voice had reflected when she called him as she looked up at him. "Tell me...it isn't true...what he did?"

George felt his heart break for her right then as he walked over to her and pulled her into his arms, holding her tight. "I'm sorry Serenity. But it's true. Queen Serenity didn't know of that plot though your brother and I tried to warn her. Seems our being suspicious of Prince Endymion had been right. The idiot's one redemption was that he tried to save you in the end." He pressed a gentle kiss to her head.

"He was...after power...that came with the throne." She choked back a sob. "I have come to terms that the Crystal Tokyo that the girls and I helped save was an alternate timeline. And Setsuna could not tell us at the time we saw it that it was an alternate then...an alternate created on lies. Mother assumed I was truly in love with him because I let her believe that...because I...as much as I wanted everyone to be able to marry someone they were in love with...I let that same choice be taken from me. Mother just wanted me to be happy, but I put my own happiness aside for the good of the kingdom. Or what I thought was the good of the kingdom. After all, how bad would it have been to have another ally, the remaining planet of the solar system, finally join the alliance." She sighed. "There was a reason Earth had not been allowed to join the alliance. That Lunarians had been banned from relations with Earthlings. But I was never told the reason why. Only that it was as it was. But I was curious as a kitten about the beautiful blue planet that I was able to see all the time. So I visited, met Endymion and let him charm me. Kept sneaking away, my guardians eventually following me and falling for his generals. I was not in love at all with Endymion, but I considered him a good friend at least. I talked Mother into reopening the relations between the Moon and Earth. Next thing I knew, an arranged marriage was made between me and him." She blinked back tears as she spoke.

"But then I was so sheltered from the news about the trouble brewing on Earth. It never hit me that he was not telling me everything for any reason other than because Mother had asked him not to. I brought that trouble to the Moon. It is my fault the kingdom fell. If I had spoken up against the arrangement, if I had told Mother that I had fallen for you, then Beryl would not have attacked the moon, because she would not have had a real reason to. She only agreed to Endymion's plan to kill Mother to get a chance to kill me for 'stealing' Endymion." She finally couldn't hold back the tears and started crying against George.

"Shh. It is gonna be alright Serenity. It was not your fault. You did not know the truth. And I am sure Queen Serenity has realized by now that it was wrong of her to keep you so sheltered from what was going on. Stop blaming yourself. Granted we will never know if the attack on the moon truly might not have happened if not for your reopening relations between the two kingdoms. The way I see it, it might still have happened eventually, what with Lunarians and the other kingdoms having such long lifespans compared to Earthlings, they grew jealous. Add to that that the Moon kingdom had a powerful item like the ginzuishou and it was asking for eventual trouble." He rubbed her back soothingly and rocked gently.

She clutched onto his shirt tightly as she cried. "I am so sorry. We could have been together in the past if not for me."

"Do not be sorry. What matters is that we have each other now. I will always be here for you. Trust me on that. You have done so well all this time. Your mother would be proud of you for the courage and leadership you have shown. You have proven time and time again why it was wrong of her to shield you like she did. Just go ahead and cry if you must. I will be right here holding you while you cry and after. My heart is still yours Serenity and it forever will be. I promise."

Finally, Usagi looked up at him with a soft smile, wiping away the last remainders of her tears. "And mine is still yours now and forever."

"Feeling better now?" He asked with a soft smile, cupping her chin gently.

"Much better. Thank you." She leaned up and kissed him softly. When she pulled away, she yawned, covering her mouth while she did so. "Excuse me for that." She blushed. "What time is it?"

George cast a quick tempus charm and chuckled softly. "It is only one in the morning. We still have time to get some more sleep before we need to get up for the day. So let's go ahead and do that. That way we'll be able to get some breakfast with Fred and Angelina before you head home and I go down to open the shop." He laid back on the bed, pulling her down with him.

Usagi giggled and nodded. "Sleep sounds good." She snuggled to him. "Night George."

Within minutes, the couple was asleep once more, sleeping the remainder of the night away. The next morning was filled with laughter and joking over breakfast with Fred and Angelina before Angelina and Usagi had to leave for their respective homes and the twins prepared to go open the shop.
