Finally, Hotaru led them to Yao's room. On his door was a painting of a dragon peering down upon them with a playful glint in his eyes. Once the door was open they could see a table made of teak, settled low to the ground with a small tea set spread out on it to welcome guests. A shelf against the wall held movies with popular Chinese actors and actresses in the lower portion, and a variety of cook books in the upper portion.

Spread out along the walls were pictures of areas in Asia and photos of his family beaming out at him, including Taiwan, Vietnam, and Hong Kong. The coffee table and shelf were made of a rich cherry wood that gleamed in the light. On the work desk was a laptop with Shinatty-chan's picture on it and a goblet of candies sat next to it.

Once inside the bedchamber they saw a double bed with red drapes. A vase full of plum blossoms sat on the small table next to it. A couch nested in the corner was piled with plush toys, their beady eyes gleaming out at the nations. A bed sat next to the couch for Panda-chan. On the walls hung scrolls of ink paintings of himself and his family.

"This is amazing, aru! I didn't need a room. The queen is so generous, aru," Yao said, amazed.

"Moon-mama wants to accommodate everyone," Hotaru said.

Suddenly, there was a horrible shattering sound as something was flung against a wall. A heart-wrenching sound of sobbing could be heard from one floor up. Hotaru's head snapped towards it and with a single flash she was once more in her dark Sailor fuku, sprinting from Yao's room.

"Hang on, Your Majesty, I'm coming!" She seemed to completely forget the nations as her small heels clacked sharply on a set of steps to the left of the room. They followed hoping that in some way they could help.

When they reached the top of the steps, a wondrous set of double doors stood before them. They had already been flung open by Saturn to reveal Serenity's private chambers.

The walls were a gentle cream color and the trimmings were a sweet pink. A large king sized four poster bed sat in the very center with sheer white drapes hanging around it that would allow an outsider to see a shadow of anyone hidden within. Upon the walls were pictures of the current queen in her childhood, her senshi, and other people that the nations hadn't met before. Some spots on the walls were bare, but looked as if picture frames had been ripped from them recently.

The nations then spotted the queen kneeling before a bay window with Saturn already at her side. The window was opened to allow the sounds of chirping birds and the drone of bees gathering pollen to flow inside.

"Serenity, what is the problem?" Saturn asked as she tried to comfort the woman. The blond shook her head and a shaky hand pointed to another corner of the room the nations had missed.

There was a small set of steps leading up to a pair of doors with a tiny pink crescent moon on each side. Saturn cautiously approached and opened them. The group could just see the inside of a nursery. There was lovely pink crib with bows on its feet, shelves of toys and clothes, all laid out on a fluffy carpet.

Saturn froze upon the sight of the room that would have belonged to her best friend and understood the Queen's pain. She felt her heart break as she fully came to the realization that she would never have the one person who had always cared for her unconditionally when she needed it most. Suddenly she couldn't hold back anymore and tears spilled over her eyes.

Now with both girls crying, the nations were a bit perplexed and weren't sure what to do. After all, they had no idea why the two were so upset in the first place.

Gilbert hated to see it most of all. He hesitated at first, but then decided to step towards Serenity and knelt down beside her. He placed one hand on her back and she jerked her head around to face him, surprised to see that the albino was the one who had come to her.

"P-Puroisen-kun…" she whispered, her cerulean eyes locking with his deep red ones.

"Serenity, I don't know what's going on but please don't worry. Everything is going to work out." Gilbert wiped a stray tear from her face.

"Bruder…" Ludwig was shocked by this display of compassion from his usually loud and obnoxious brother. The rest of the group fell back slightly, feeling that this was a more personal moment for the two. Even Alfred, who felt that he was developing a special connection with Serenity, decided to stay put.

"You don't understand," Serenity said to Gilbert. "My daughter will never be born. She's gone…Nothing but a memory."

Hotaru, still crying further off, came to the Queen at this point. "Serenity…" The Queen seeing the poor girl's sad face opened her arms lovingly and embraced her.

Everything suddenly made sense to the nations as they remembered what they had seen of Serenity's past. She had met her daughter when she traveled back in time, but without the former king, she could not exist. Gilbert was at a loss for words and he watched the two women cry together.

"She's not gone!" Feliciano spoke up. Everyone turned to the little Italian. "Ve~, she'll still be around. In your heart." He traced a the outline of a heart on his chest.

"He's right," Antonio agreed. "As long as you keep her memory alive, then she'll never truly be gone. Just be glad that you got to know her."

"Spain-kun…Italia-kun…" Serenity looked across the group of smiling and encouraging face and actually cracked a grin herself. "You're right. And who knows? Maybe she's meant to be. Maybe I'll still have her with whoever I wind up with." She giggled and her usual, bright self began to shine through.

Hotaru sat up and wiped her eyes, still frowning. "But she was my best friend."

"But look at all the new friends you have now, Hotaru-chan! And I'm sure that whoever my new future child is, you two will still get along." Serenity lifted her chin with a finger and beamed at her. Hotaru could not hold back the contagious smile. "That's my girl."

They stood up and the nations were so happy that they all encircled the Queen in a large hug. "Thank you, my wonderful countries of the world. I love you all! Come on, let's go back downstairs."

The group started out of the room happy and chattering away as if the incident hadn't even happened. Serenity held back a bit and called out quietly, "Puroisen-kun."

Gilbert paused and turned back, blushing a bit. "Yes, Serenity?"

"I want to thank you. You may have a cocky outside but on the inside…You're very sweet." The Queen also blushed.

"Well, I am pretty awesome." Gilbert scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "I just-" He stopped mid-sentence when Serenity placed a kiss on his cheek.

With another beaming smile, Serenity skipped out of the room. Gilbert put a hand to the spot where she had kissed him, and it was moment before he rediscovered his motor functions and followed everyone out of the room.
