Crystal Palace Blues: Neo Queen Serenity

*Neo Queen Serenity's POV*

The Sun's rays were so beautiful in the morning, I contemplated.
They shone down on the beautiful city of Crystal Tokyo like a ray of
light which shines through the darkness. I sat at my desk quietly I
was supposed to be working on something but instead I kept looking out
of the window. I had surrendered myself to temptation. The beauty of
this city which myself, my friends and family had built was
magnificent. It had caught my attention this morning when I
had gotten up.

*Flashback*

The room was lit brightly and many different colours bounced
playfully off the walls. My husband Neo-King Endymion slept peacefully
beside me. Besides snoring there was no peep out of him. I guessed
that he would be as dead as a doorbell for the next few hours. The
patio door was wide open as usual letting the cool spring breeze blow
into the room. I pulled the sheets slowly down as not to wake
Endymion. It was quite a leap to the ground I considered. I hesitated
for a second and then lowered myself to the ground. I slowly made my
way across our giant king-sized room. Our room had been especially
decorated by Queen Minako of Venus. She quite fancies herself as the
'decorating type' as she liked to put it. Other than being Queen of
Venus she is my best friend and Leader of my Inner Senshi. She has
many traits but why I like her as a friend is because she cares for
everybody else's well being above her own. Her pretty looks have
earned her the nickname 'Aphrodite' after the Goddess of Love. I
have to say Minako certainly has an eye for detail. On one side of the
room was a giant wooden bookcase filled with Medieval Story Books and
some old Medical Journals. The bed was situated in the middle of the
room, white satin sheets hung from the sides of the bed and golden
bedposts finished of the classic antique look which many people
yearned for. From what I had gathered, Minako had bought this bed
from England. She was very much into foreign items rather than
Japanese made brands.

There were many other things placed carefully around the room.
But I took no notice of them as I went through a door connecting to
our private bathroom. The taps turned easily under my strong, slender
fingers. I bent my face down near the water and splashed it
occasionally in hope of trying to wake myself up from my deep sleep.
Grabbing a towel quickly from the sidebar I slide out of the bathroom
to put my dressing gown on. My dressing gown was white and had golden
balls of fluff on the end of the strings which hung down from the
little bow at the top of the dressing gown. I guessed that one of my
senshi would be in the hall either on watch or just walking down the
hallways patrolling as they often did. I understood why they all
wanted to protect me but I had to make them all understand that they
needed a social life too. Strangely there was nobody in sight. A glass
window lay straight ahead of me shining through it was many rays of
sunlight. The sunlight also projected a shadow on the floor which
faded in and out every few seconds. In closer inspection, the window
actually showed me a fantastic view of Crystal Tokyo. It was a crystal
wonderland. Before I had time to really have a full look at it, Queen
Raye/Sailor Mars came jogging up the stairs. She had raven long hair
and was quite tall. Her eyes were deep pools of brown. Any man would
give anything to have her for a wife. But only one man had managed to
capture her heart and that was my husband's general, Jadeite. They had
been in love since the Silver Millennium. But they had finally married
10 years ago. I guessed that she had just been on her morning run in
the Terrain Gardens. She waved at me and directed me downstairs as she
jogged past.

*End of Flashback*

I had followed my senshi of fire's orders and gone downstairs to
had breakfast with my friends and family. Now I sat in my study
constantly thinking about things to come and things that have happened
in the past. "Serenity," a voice called to me. I jumped out of my
trance and faced Queen Setsuna of Pluto. She was not in her customary
senshi uniform. I had given her a break from the time gate for ten
years. She was now taking up her reign Queen of Pluto, wife and soon
to be mother. Yes that's right Setsuna is pregnant with her first
child. She had known her husband, Thomas since the Silver Millennium.
Thomas, was the leader of the Moon Guard which protected my mother.
But now they protect me as they will my children. Setsuna and Thomas
are hoping that the baby she is carrying would be a boy. If so, that
boy would become the next leader of my Moon Guard. "Setsuna," I
replied. "Are you alright? I'm worried about you. I was on Pluto and
I felt like something had happened to you," Setsuna questioned. I
waved it off telling her that I was perfectly fine. She smiled... a
fake smile. She didn't believe me. I sighed and asked her to
leave the room.

I don't believe myself either, there was something wrong with me
though I could never put my finger on it. Endymion to had noticed the
change in me he had asked me many times what is wrong but I just waved
it off with the flick of my wrist. I looked sadly towards the book
which lay in front of me. I had not been my usual self for some time
and it worried my senshi and my love. I tried to start reading my book
again but it was no use. I need to clear my head and get some fresh
air. I pushed the chair back suddenly and picked up the book which I
had recently been trying to read without much success. A lock of my
golden hair fell in front of my eyes. I brushed it towards the side of
my face and started to walk at a fast pace down the hallways of the
Terrain Crystal Palace towards my private Rose Garden.

I had collected many types of roses. Most of them were from
Earth but occasionally you could find a Lunarian Silver Rose which was
extremely rare on my home planet. Dropping the book on the ground I
ran my finger over the top of a red rose. It silky petals felt like
heaven under my fingers. I then felt warm arms wrap around my slender
waist. "Hello Selene," a male voice said behind me using my pet name.
"Hello Endy," I said to the stranger who of course was my husband. I
felt wet lips kissing me on the neck. I giggled softly meanwhile
trying to escape from his tight grasp. It was no use. I only had one
option. I concentrated hard and felt the power of the Imperial Silver
Crystal flow through my veins. I then made myself disappear and then
reappear behind Endymion. Once I had disappeared out of my beloved's
arms I saw him fall to the ground in a giant heap. I laughed openly
and offered my hand to him. Of which he rejected and pulled himself
up. He was always the stubborn one. His face showed the emotion of
anger but softened as soon as he looked at me. It had been a while
since I had actually laughed openly and he realized it. I frowned for
a second before I promptly spun around and started to walk in the
opposite direction. I had gotten three steps before I felt a hand
reach out and grab my arm. I stopped in my tracks. "What's wrong
Serena!" Endymion said using my old 20th Century name. I suppose old
habits die hard. I shook my arm out of his grasp and started to walk.
My walk then turned into a fast jog. I ran for my life, I don't know
what exactly I was running away from but it was frightening. Something
was missing in my life, something important. The question is what?

I ran through the forest located at the back of the Terrain
Palace. The brush was thick and many bushes lay in my path. But I
didn't care. My tears fell on the ground and on my dress. I jumped the
log that lay in my path but with high heels on it was very hard to
balance myself once I had landed. I tripped and fell. Pain crept all
the way up my ankle. I reached for my ankle trying to check if it was
broken. Amy, my water senshi and Queen of Mercury, the planet of ice
and knowledge had taught me many things about Medicine. Most of which
I could not remember anyway. "That's no help," I yelled painfully.
"What's wrong with me?? Mother. I need to know... what's happening
with me. What's missing in my life? Who am I missing. Mother!!!" I
screamed a scream that could shatter a thousand windows. My Moon
symbol glowed furiously. A bright beam of golden light shot out of my
forehead and towards the clear blue sky. I felt faint and slowly I
closed my eyes. I tried to resist but my energy was all but drained
and I really needed to sleep.

I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a near dark room. A lamp
was sitting on the chest of draws next to the bed which I lay on. It
was turned and was emitting a bright yellow light that faintly lighted
up the whole room. My vision got clearer and noticed that I was in
mine and Endymion's room. Voices could be dimly heard to the left side
of me. I recognized them. One being my husband and the other being
Ami. I could not hear what they were talking about but I expected that
it was about me. I sighed and learned my head on the pillow. A shadow
suddenly cast over me. I expect to see Endymion or Ami. But what I saw
surprised me. There stood my loyal senshi and friend, Sailor Saturn,
The Senshi of Destruction otherwise known as Queen Hotaru of Saturn.
She smiled at me. I gestured for her to sit on the bed. She nodded
and sat down. I was curious to know why she was here. Hotaru was one
of my best friends but I hardly ever saw her. She placed a hand on my
arm and squeezed tightly. "Hotaru..." I spoke. She placed a hand on my
mouth to stop me from talking. "You know why I'm here," Hotaru said
simply. I frowned and gave her a strange look. "Oh Serenity don't play
dumb with me," Hotaru said as a frown appeared on her small face.
"Excuse me Hotaru but what the hell are you talking about?" I asked.
The Queen of Saturn tossed a lock of her black short hair back behind
her ear and spoke quietly, "It's time, we need her." I was stunned,
speechless.

I looked back at the Saturian Queen and smiled "I know but I'm
scared," I answered finally realizing what she was talking about. I
know knew who was missing in my life. Hotaru looked around the room as
if to see if anybody was listening in. She finally spoke once she was
sure that nobody was listening, "Why are you scared? She should be
born soon." I thought quietly. I didn't wish to tell her that I had
been trying. I didn't even want to tell Endymion. Yes, we had talked
before about her but we had never decided when to have her. There was
something wrong. "Serenity," a voice uttered from the darkness behind
Saturn. Hotaru looked back towards the origin of the voice. Setsuna
stepped out of the shadows. She wore a long dark red dress. It was
designed like Hotaru's except Hotaru's was purple. "I know what your
going through. Trust me she will come soon," The Plutonarian Queen
said. A tear dripped from my eye. Hotaru, Setsuna and I were alike in
one way. We had all been through hell and back. We had special powers
mine being the Silver Crystal, Hotaru's being her Silence Glaive and
Setsuna's being her Time Staff. We were different from the others
somehow. I guessed that's why they were here and not any of the other
senshi. Hotaru reached out and hugged me. "I can feel her she's coming
soon. I do happen to be her best friend you know." I smiled at my two
friends and thanked them for all they had said. "But please do not
tell Endymion any of this." I said. The Queens nodded. "Is this why I
have been feeling so lonely lately? Like I was missing somebody."
"Yes," Setsuna said. "Has the time stream being affected," Hotaru
asked Setsuna. "No," Setsuna said. Her face showed no emotion so it
was impossible to tell if she was lying or not. Setsuna bowed to me
and then stepped back into the shadows. Hotaru looked back towards
were Setsuna had been. Serenity sensed that they were talking through
telepathy. Hotaru looked back towards me and said, "We have to go. But
before I go we have a message from you mother. Because it was she who
sent us here. She wishes you well and says not to worry." So she sent
them hear to tell or rather remind me about her. The missing person.
Hotaru got up off the bed, bowed and then stepped back into the
shadows exactly like Setsuna.

I managed to get some sleep after the Saturian and Plutonarian
Queens left. I estimated that it's about 8 o'clock. I door creaked
open slightly and a person stepped into the room. I was still in bed
and plenty of blankets were covering me. There was also many fluffy
pillows behind my head. I laid back trying to make out the person who
had just entered the room. I caught site of their clothing. A Purple
Tuxedo... Endymion. He looked longingly towards my direction. I lifted
my hand off the satin sheets and beckoned him towards me. He looked
shocked and made his way over towards me. "Selene," he whispered. I
grinned devilishly and pulled him with all my might to the other side
of the bed. I was now feeling better after my little talk with my two
eternal senshi, Saturn and Pluto. "What..." Endymion's voiced trailed
off as I started undoing his Tuxedo. My lips reached his and they
locked together. His tongue slowly entered my mouth. I fell back on
the bed and he climbed onto of me. I laughed loudly as he tickled me.

The Next Day:

I sat on the top of one of the hills outside Crystal Tokyo. My
Inner senshi surrounded me on all sides. A little further back sat my
Outer Senshi. We were all transformed because we had been having a
mock fight, well all of us except Pluto. Who was content just to sit
on the ground and eat. We talked a lot about the past. Which we liked
to call BCT in other words before Crystal Tokyo. It seemed so long ago
in my memory. I still remember Small Lady journeying back into the
past and my past self falling in love with her. I flinched slightly.
"I need my baby," I slightly uttered. I then realized what I had just
said. Thankfully many of my senshi hadn't heard me. Ami unfortunately
had heard what I said as she was sitting the closest to me other than
Minako. She placed a hand on my arm and spoke, "Sere is something
wrong." A tear escaped from my eye. I can't tell them they'll just
worry about me. I got up quickly. "No I'm fine," I said as I ran down
the hill. Pluto looked towards Saturn. Saturn nodded and started
running after me.

Once I was at the bottom of the hill I stopped dead in my
tracks. Ahead of me was Endymion walking with his chief general,
Malachite. Meanwhile Saturn had caught up to me. "Serenity," she
called out loudly. Only she had unfortunately called out a little
too loudly. Endymion looked around as did Malachite. Endymion noticed
me. He smiled and then his smile faded as soon as he saw my tear
stained face. Saturn had grabbed my hand just as Endymion started
running over towards us. I swear time froze for a second as Saturn
lifted up her Silence Glaive and whisked us away from Earth.

All I could see was darkness. I was floating and Saturn was no
longer beside me holding my hand. I then felt my bottom's impact with
the ground. Hard and Painful... as usual. "Some things never change,"
I spoke. "Always keeping your sense of humor alive. Unfortunately you
get that from your father not me." Queen Serenity said as she stepped
out of the darkness. A silver aura followed her. Queen Serenity was my
mother and the past Queen of the Moon Kingdom and the Silver
Millennium. "Mother," I rushed towards my mother and hugged her
tightly. God we must of made a site. The Regal Neo Queen Serenity
crying on her dead mother's shoulder. I smiled at that remark. My
mother looked at me and then frowned. "Selene, why are you worried?"
She said reading my mind instantly. "Small Lady she's not coming is
she?" I said acting so much like my past self not the Queen I was. My
mother laughed and smiled at me. I could now see that Sailor Pluto and
Sailor Saturn stood beside her. One on each side. "Selene I told you
she would come soon don't you believe me?" My mother said as she
carefully let go of me. "It's not that I don't believe you..." I never
got time to finish. These days I never got to finish what I was saying
anyway. "Pluto," my mother then gestured towards the pregnant senshi
of time. Pluto stepped forward and for once she had a smile on her
face. Even Saturn stood at attention with a big smile on her face. I
then felt like I had been left out of a secret. "My Queen, I'm very
surprised that you haven't noticed it yet but you have no need to
worry. I know for a fact as the senshi of time that you are pregnant
with Rini."

My emotions then turned from shocked to embarrassed and last but
not least foolishness. I'm sure that I blushed a bright red colour
several times. "You guys knew all the time didn't you?" I asked my
senshi. They nodded. "It was hard to keep it a secret last night but
I held out with help from Pluto," Saturn confessed. I looked at the
three women and signaled for them to come towards me. They did so. I
then grabbed them all and locked them in a group hug of which they
kindly accepted.

Saturn with the help of Pluto returned me to Earth at the exact
time I had left. I then saw time start again. My beloved reached my in
a matter of seconds. Those tear stains that were on my checks had
disappeared. I opened my arms and he embraced me tightly. "Endy, I
need to talk to you about something." I pulled Endymion away from
Saturn and Malachite who had in turn caught up with my husband. We sat
down on a bench in my Private Garden which was off limits to everybody
except myself and Endymion. I smiled as I looked into his black eyes.
He looked back at me somewhat confused. "Eddie, I have something very
important to tell you that will change our life forever." I stopped
and brushed away my tears. I could tell that he was on the edge of my
seat. "Darien, Endymion, my love I'm pregnant," I told him. His eyes
opened wide and he jumped off the bench and made a grab for me. He
picked me up and swing me around above his head. I leaned my head back
and laughed. Endymion also laughed too. Our laughs could be heard
throughout the Crystal Kingdom.

Three Months later:

I threw back the sheets and scampered towards the bathroom a fast
as my legs could carry me. I almost sprinted towards the toilet. I
then threw up last night's dinner. A warm hand touched my back
suddenly. I jumped a mile. The hand rubbed up and down in constant
fluent strokes. I pulled my face up and look at the owner of the hand.
"Did I wake you, Eddie?" I asked. "No I was already up so don't worry
about that." I smiled. I knew that he had lied. He was fast asleep
till I had jumped so suddenly out of our bed. I walked out of the
bathroom Endymion followed me silently. "We should really tell the
senshi. I'm nearing three months you realize," I said fussing around
with pillows and that of the sort. I had been obsessed for the last
few with cleaning and cooking. Endymion had assured me that it was
just a symptom of pregnancy. "I know but when. Should we tell them
together or separate," Endymion replied. We looked at each other for
a second and both uttered, "Together." We smiled and grinned at each
other as Endymion came up beside me, picked me up and threw me
onto the bed.

I sat on the throne of the Moon Queen. My husband sat on the
throne of the Terrain King. My senshi, Endymion's Generals and my Moon
Guard bowed in front of us. "I'll get straight to the point. I want to
tell you all some important news that may or may not change the rest
of your lives." I grabbed Endymion's hand. He then leaned over and
kissed my check. I continued slowly, "Well I don't know how to say
this but anyway, I'm pregnant!" The Senshi gasped all except Hotaru
and Setsuna who of course already knew. The Inner Senshi rushed up to
me hugging me tightly. "This is soooo cool," Minako yelled.

6 Months Later:

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" I yelled as I felt yet another contraction ending.
Never again would i give birth to child... I'll make sure of it.
Endymion stood next to me holding my hand. He looked at me and smiled.
What was he smiling about, ok retake let me think... He's not give
birth to a watermelon. I looked over towards the door. I noticed that
Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Uranus were standing in front of the door
not letting anybody in. Ami and Mina stood to the right side of me,
chatting quietly. I couldn't see the rest of my senshi maybe they were
outsie trying to control the press. I still remember clearly how my
water had broken. How could I forget?

*Flashback*

I just finished doing up my traditional meatball hairstyle when
my thunder senshi opened the door. "Yes." "Serenity-sama," Makoto
said. I smiled and turn around to face her, "You know better than
that Makoto." The Jupiterian Queen bowed her head and blushed a light
pink colour. I took five steps towards her and picked up her head and
told her, "Let's go." She smiled and grabbed my hand pulling me out
of the room. I laughed absentminditly.

I wasn't in the mood to go to a formal dinner but the Pope had
kindly accepted my dinner invitation which I had given him three
months ago. Ahead of me was my husband in his customary tuxedo. He
looked as handsome as ever. He smiled at me and whispered I love you
as I gently touched his hand. The Announcer stood next to us. I nodded
at him to begin. He bowed deeply and clear his voice.

"Welcome Ladies, Gentleman and our special guest, The Pope to
the most famous royal get together of the month. Now without further
ado I'd like to introduce his majesty, Neo King Endymion. King of The
Terrian Kingdom and The Crystal Millnium. I would also like to
introduce her highness, Neo Queen Serenity, the last Princess of the
Silver Millnium and the first Queen of The Crystal Millnium." The
Announcer bellowed deeply.

Endymion latched onto my hand and glided me into the throne
room. As soon as I entered the room everybody looked at me. They were
all overjoyed to hear that I was expecting. My senshi stood still at
the end of room. Ami, Rei and Makoto waved. Mina did a Victory sign.
Michuru and Hakura winked and lastly Hotura and Setsuna smiled.
Gently, Endymion hoisted me up to sit on my throne.

The Pope and myself talked many times before dinner. I got to
know him alot better. He also expressed his views on 'This New World'
as he politly put it. They called dinner quite suddenly. I rose out of
my seat and slowly made my way towards the Dining room. I sat at one
of the ends of the long table my fire and love senshi sat next to me.
Of course none of them were transformed as the Moon Guard were
scattered around the room.

Halfway through dinner I got a slight tingle converge all the
way down my back. Then it happened. I knew that it was time. My water
had just broken! My face must of turned a redish shade and convayed my
surprise, shock and worry to the others. Queen Minako looked towards
me a warm smile covered her face. Well that was until she saw my face.
She touched my shoulder and looked at me again. I could tell she
understood fully. She looked towards Endymion at the other end of the
table. He was busy talking to one of the Asian Nobles.

I started to feel very sick at that moment. Rei ended her
converstaion and looked towards me obviously senseing my emotions.
"Selene," She spoke. At that moment Minako got up and signalled to
Makoto and Hakura. "Your highness," Rei yelled towards my husband. I
sat their completely in shocked. I had never felt like this before.
Endymion looked towards Minako. Endymion mouthed 'no'. Minako mouthed
'Yes' He got up from his seat and ran down towards me. The guests
started to get worried. Most of them were looking at me.

I got up suddenly as soon as Endymion had reached me. Minako
reached into a invisable pocket in her long dress and pulled out
Henshi Stick. Many of the Outer Senshi followed her example. Makoto
was at the end of the room and was the second one to pull out
her Henshi Stick.

Venus Cosmic Power
Jupiter Cosmic Power
Uranus Cosmic Power
Neptune Cosmic Power
Saturn Cosmic Power
Pluto Cosmic Power

All of the people had heard about my lengendery sailor senshi.
But nobody had ever actually seen them transform. I watched their
faces. One of the women actually fainted. The Outer Senshi formed a
circle around me, Endymion, Sailor Venus, Rei and Ami. Endymion picked
me up and we flew out of the dining room.

*End of Flashback*

Now, here I was yelling my guts out giving birth to a watermelon
that was my soon to be daughter, Rini otherwise known as Small Lady.
Mina and Ami were know at my feet discussing something. Endymion was
still at my side. He wasn't laughing anymore. Thank god if I wasn't in
some much pain I would have got up and whacked him one. I heard voices
to the side of me. I thought it was Ami and Minako. I looked to the
side of me expecting to see them. Instead I saw a slender women with
blond hair and two sailor senshi standing behide her. Mother, Sailor
Saturn and Pluto. "Mother," I yelled as another contraction came. "No
Selene, Queen Serenity's not here. Do you want me to get you Ikuko?"
Endymion suggested. Ikuko was my mother from the 20th Century Tokyo. I
loved her but she just wasn't the same as my real mother. But that
means if he can't see them. That means that i'm having halucinations.
"No your not my daughter," My mother spoke.

I was shocked my halucination had just talked to me. My supposed
mother touched my head and my moon symbol glowed. Oh my god that
proves it she's really my mother. "What are you doing here?" I aksed
her. "We're here to comfort you," Pluto answered. "You didn't tell me
that the pain was this bad," I told Pluto. "Hey, I was suffering a few
months ago like you are now well that was until Byron was born," Pluto
chuckled. She had been laughing alot more since her son Byron
was born.

"One last push," The doctor called out to me. "Ahhhhhhhhhhh," I
yelled. "That's it your highness. It's a girl" The doctor yelled out
as she gave the baby to Ami. She was not yelling or any like that.
"She's alright isn't she? She's not yelling or anything," Endymion
asked. "She's fine," The doctor said as she walked out of the room. Ami
gave me my baby girl... my Rini. My mother and the other two Outer
Senshi had talked to me constantly while I was in the middle of my
contrations. Endymion cooed to our baby and I, the little creasant
moon on her forehead. She was so tiny and cute I thought to myself.
"What are you going to name her your highnesses?" A nurse asked. I
looked towards my mother and then towards Endymion. He nodded.
"Serenity."

Later that night, I stood on the balcony attached to our room.
Rini... my Small Lady was in my arms. My mother and the two Outer
Senshi had left shortly after Rini was born. But before she had left I
had looked up at my mother from where i was laying to see her smiling
down at me proudly, as I said the Ancient name used by the Female Moon
Royalty. I looked down at my small miracle that was cradled in my
arms. Rini smiled and giggled back at me. The moonlight bounced off
the balcony just in front of where I stood. Rini giggled again and I
bent down and whispered in her ear so nobody but her could hear,
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, My Small Lady."
