Big shout out to the two birthdays that were just passed. Sorry this one didn't get posted on your bday but here is a belated present from me to you.

As normal I do not own Sailor Moon but I do own every non canon name/planet that is used/mentioned in this story.

And on with the show!

Serenity couldn't believe the nerve of this man. Claiming she was his daughter then in the next breath telling her and her mother to join him or die.

"I would rather die than join you." Selenity couldn't help but smirk at his furious look. "I turned you down 16 years ago Demetrius and I will do it again. My answer to you will always be no. You cannot have me and you will never get Serenity."

"We shall see." Demetrius said as he looked at his daughter. "Remember Serenity. They lied to you."

"To protect me and keep me from knowing what you truly are. A monster." Serenity hissed at him. "Like my mother said before. Go to hell."

"You both will regret this." Demetrius said as he raised his hand. Marina being a archer, quickly made an arrow out of fire and released it towards Demetrius. He hissed as the arrow grazed his shoulder and turned his attention to Marina.

"Ah you are the daughter of Scarlet and Richard. How does it feel to look at the man that killed your father?"

"You bastard!" Marina hissed. She would have lunged at him if it wasn't for Jadeite holding her back.

"You will pay for your crimes." Miranda said looking at Demetrius with cold eyes. "Surrender or face the consequences."

"Surrender? Don't make me laugh child. You are just as foolish as your mother Amia." He said. He looked back at Selenity and smirked. "Next time I won't give you the choice."

"Guards!" King Endymion bellowed but Demetrius disappeared before they could do anything.

"It seems our peaceful time has ended." Kiran sighed. Selenity nodded as she looked at her daughter with worried eyes.

"I'm ok mama." Serenity smiled at her. She was hurt that they kept the truth from her but she also understood. It would take a little time to get over it but she would get there.

"Are you sure?" Endymion asked and she gave him a smile to let him know she was ok.

"Yes." She smiled. Sirius frowned as he looked at his sister. "What is it Sirius?"

"You are lying." Was all he said before he walked away. Serenity winced at his words but the comforting touch from Endymion and the understanding looks from her parents said it would be alright.

The next day brought a more happier mood to everyone. Serenity was spending time with her soon to be sister in laws, mother in law and her mother. They were all fussing over wedding gowns but so far Serenity couldn't see the one that was right for her.

She was looking through gowns when she suddenly gasped. Alexandra turned her head to see Serenity pulling out a stunning white dress. She hid it from Alexandra's view as she quickly dashed into the changing rooms with the bridal fitting woman.

Selenity looked at Alastrina and Alexandra with worried eyes but all Alexandra did was smile.

Serenity came out of the room and gasps filled the area. The dress was stunning. It had a sweetheart neck line with a beaded waist that highlighted her curves and lace cap sleeves.

"It's beautiful Serenity." Selenity smiled tearfully.

"This is the one." Serenity giggled as everyone nodded. Once she was back into her normal dress, she paid for her dress and they all left the bridal store. When the girls got back from their home planets, they were all going to go out and look for bridesmaid dresses. Suddenly the thought of shopping with the girls had Serenity groaning.

"What's wrong?" Alethea asked worried.

"Shopping with the girls for dresses." Was all Serenity needed to say for Selenity to wince.

"Perhaps we should get the dresses now and say they will be wearing these on the day." Selenity suggested.

"No I can't do that mama." Serenity frowned. "I will have to grin and bear it. If not I can go all Crystal owner on them." She smirked at the thought making the women around her laugh. Thankfully Alexandra and Alethea already had their dresses. Alexandra chose an emerald green A-line halter sleeveless dress with beading around the waist while Alethea chose a beautiful sky blue a-line straps with chiffon beading. Both girls looked stunning in their dresses.

Later on Serenity sighed as she sat down on the chair with a soft thud. She rubbed her head as she felt a headache come on but a deep chuckle from behind her made her smile.

"Endy you better not be making fun of me." Serenity playfully scolded. She moaned lightly as he began to rub her shoulders, getting rid of the tension.

"Now why would I want to make fun of you Sere?" Endymion teased making her roll her eyes. "How did it go today?"

"Really well to say the least. All the girls have their bridesmaid dresses and I found a dress that you will love." Serenity smiled. She moaned as he hit a spot that eased her headache right away. Endymion smiled as he placed a kiss below her ear making her shiver lightly. "Endy..." She whispered when he gently raised her chin to look at him. The love shinning in his eyes always stole her breath but what came next made her feel weak in the knees. Thankfully she was already sat down as he pressed his lips against hers in a gentle and love filled kiss.

When he pulled back she pouted. He chuckled as he sat down beside her and she sighed.

"Are you sure we can't elope?" She teased.

"No Sere. As much as I would love to, our mothers would kill us in the most painful ways imaginable."

"That is a good point." Serenity sighed. "Only two more weeks until all this is over and I'm your wife." She smiled at the thought.

"Only two more weeks." Endymion nodded as he held her hand in with his. He smiled as he looked at the engagement ring on her finger. He couldn't wait until that day where they would be married and this would all be a dream in the past.

The two weeks flew by within no time and the next time Serenity and Endymion knew was, it was their wedding day. Serenity smiled as she changed into her dress and smoothed down the silk. She looked herself over in the mirror and nodded with a smile. As her something old, her mother gave her the beautiful twisting diamond necklace that had a small diamond drop down in the middle, Alastrina gave her a pair of beautiful dangling oval earnings with a diamond in the middle as her something new. As her something blue, Miranda gave her a diamond and sapphire bracelet that twisted around in an eight motion. It belonged to her grandmother on her mother's side of the family. Alexandra gave her a beautiful diamond leaf hair comb as her something borrowed. It would hold up her cathedral veil when the time came.

Serenity's smile widened as the girls came out in their bridesmaid dresses. Miranda had chosen an a-line sweetheart beaded neckline dress that was in a pale gold colour, Marina had chosen a stunning chiffon curved necklace with beaded cap sleeves in a beautiful ruby red colour. Thora had chosen a beautiful emerald green bodice dress with a transparent coat over the top and a beaded waist. Anika had picked out a icy blue chiffon princess cut dress. It was simple yet elegant on her. She was never into big fashion.

Each girl wore a silver circlet that had their own colour stone and diamond dropping down in the middle. They also wore a pair of silver earrings with their stone in the middle that matched the necklace they had.

"You all look amazing." Serenity smiled.

"You look stunning Sere." Alexandra smiled.

"Girls it's time." Alastrina said from behind the door.

"Okay let's get this veil on then we are ready to go." Alexandra said as she picked up the comb and veil that was waiting. Serenity's hair had been curled and braided lightly to give it that extra bounce. She gently placed the comb down on the veil and she was all set.

"Let's do this." Serenity smiled.

Today was the day all her dreams came true.
