Hello Again Everybody.

In case you have not heard, I am going through the process of completely re-writing Silver Millennium Forever?. Why, you ask? Well, basically because the story did not turn out the way I had hoped in the first place. Also, my writing has greatly improved since finishing this story. Therefore, I am re-writing my SMF. There will be some basic plot lines at the beginning that will remain the same, but other than that it is going to be completely different and (hopefully) better. It will also be longer :) . Thank you for your support thus far, and I hope that when I finish the new edition that you will love it as much as you have loved it's rough-draft (as I like to call it) little brother.

For your reading enjoyment, and possible feedback for me, here are a few previews. Some are nearly the same as before, but some are different and from various chapters.

With Love,

Kris Black

Prologue

More then a millennia ago the universe was entirely different from the dead wasteland it is now. The seemingly inhabitable planets of our Solar System housed great nations, ruled by strong rulers. All of these rulers united for a single cause, the protection of the Solar System; this era was hailed the Silver Millennium. There was also nation on the moon of Earth, ruled by a gentle, peace loving queen. This Queen ruled all of the planets of the Solar System and they lived in peace and harmony. The Queen, Serenity, had only one child - the beautiful Princess Serenity. They were looked upon throughout the Solar System as Goddesses; everyone loved and respected them for being strong-willed, intelligent, and kind rulers.

The Princess had four guardians, the Princesses from the four inner planets who had sworn to protect her at all costs. They were known throughout the galaxy as the Inner Senshi, a group of skilled body guards. Each one was named after her individual planet; Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus, Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter. Each one had utterly extraordinary gifts from her particular planet's life force. Sailor Venus, the leader of the Senshi, was incredibly beautiful (they say she was second only to the Princess and Queen). Venus served as a double for the Princess in times of great danger, and was quite the epitaph. Sailor Mercury was gifted with amazing intelligence and could control waters and ice. Sailor Mars had a fiery attitude and controlled fire; not to mention she was a gifted psychic. Sailor Jupiter had brute strength and could control thunder (and was rather gifted in the kitchens too). However, these peaceful times were not to last; a vengeful evil was rising from the earth, growing and seeking to destroy them all.

Chapter One

Boring Sunny Days

It was a beautiful, sunny day. It had been like this all week long, and Princess Serenity was sick of it.

"I wish for once it would be a rainy day." Serenity mumbled, while sitting on the balcony of the bedroom, on the third floor of the palace.

She placed her elbow on the railing and held her head up in her hand, staring out into the glittering distance. However, someone rapping on her chamber door broke her out of her brooding composure. She called for the visitor to enter. A young, mousy servant girl entered cautiously.

"You have a visitor Princess," the servant girl said while bowing.

"Well, let them in," Princess Serenity said rather impatiently. She had been expecting a visit from one, or all, of the Senshi all day. They had been training all week and Serenity hadn't seen hide or hair of them. They were her best friends. They were all the same age (around seventeen) and they spent a lot of time together. Alas, her hopes were shattered when a young man, around twenty, walked into the room.

"Ugh, what do you want Endymion?" Princess Serenity moaned, gently bringing a hand up to her temple.

"Princess Odango is that anyway to talk to a Prince?" Endymion teased, smirking.

"Is calling a Princess 'Princess Odango' anyway to address her?" Serenity snapped back.

"Oi, Odango, you're rather testy. I think all the heat that the Moon has been having has affected your head," Endymion replied, finally joining her on the balcony.

Prince Endymion was the Prince of Earth. He was an only child, which is why there was no Senshi representing the Earth. His mother, Queen Gaia, and Queen Serenity were best friends; therefore, Endymion and Serenity knew each other since they were toddlers. The two were quite good friends themselves. Prince Endymion always made fun of her hair, and started calling her Odango Atama; which was some sort of Earth food he had explained. Serenity was, of course, furious with the nickname, which had stuck to with her. Sometimes even one of the Senshi would call her Odango, even though it was mostly Mars.

"So Serenity, what do you plan on doing today?" Endymion asked sitting down beside her.

"I was going to wait for the Senshi to come and visit, but it appears they are still busy training," Serenity replied, staring longingly out into the court yard.

"Well, why don't we go visit them instead?" Endymion asked like it was the most obvious answer in the universe.

"I couldn't dream of it. They are training and I wouldn't want to disturb them. Plus, it's forbidden, you know that!" She replied, exasperated.

"Oh, and that really stopped us before." Endymion rolled his eyes.

"We were young and foolish before," Serenity retorted, "And if I recall correctly, we were punished for it too."

"Oh, like taking an extra class a day really hurt you," Endymion laughed.

"You try dealing with Luna for an extra hour a day," Serenity pouted.

"Come on Sere, where's your sense of adventure?" Endymion quipped, "That's what I used to love about you. Did the Lunar court finally manage to tame their beast of a Princess?

"Beast?" Serenity's eyebrows rose, "Hardly. Fine, Endymion, I'll go with you; but only a quick visit."

"Okay," Endymion smiled, "then we can go to town and shop."

"Really Endy, isn't bothering the Senshi enough mischief for today? Don't you think that you are pushing it a little?"

"Going to visit your friends is hardly mischievous," Endymion snorted, "Plus, we haven't seen each other in over half a year – we have to make up for lost time."

"I refuse to go down to town today Endymion," Serenity sighed, "It has been much too hot and I want to stay inside where it is cooler. When we come back from visiting the Senshi then we can catch up in the library. But if we get caught sneaking down there it is entirely your fault."

"Naturally."

"So, where are the training grounds?" Serenity asked as they exited her room.

"You mean to tell me that you don't remember?" Endymion laughed.

"Well, I haven't been there since we had our rather short visit when we were eight," Serenity replied haughtily.

"Well, I thought that you would have at least remembered the way," Endymion replied dubiously, "After all, they are on the palace grounds."

"So? Have you not noticed how large the palace grounds are? Furthermore, it is forbidden, so I have driven the location from my memory. Princesses are not to fight," Serenity retorted with her head up.

"Then why are the Senshi training? Aren't they Princesses of a whole planet also?" Endymion asked as if it were a subject that he had wanted to cover for a while.

"Serenity I didn't..."

"Endymion, please leave," Serenity interrupted and pointed to her chamber door.

"Serenity, really..."

"Leave."

"Fine," Endymion said standing up, "You know where to find me when you realize how childish you are acting and wish to apologize to me."

Sending a smirk Serenity's way, Endymion closed her bedroom door just in time for a giant pillow to hit it, thrown by the one and only Princess who glared at the same pillow with contempt that it missed its target – the handsome Princes' face.

There is a preview of the Prologue and parts of Chapter One. I hope you enjoyed it. Please leave me a review, I really want some feedback!
