A/N: There has been one question that I personally think has been left unanswered for far too long: who the hell was Serena's father in the Moon Kingdom? So, I've come up with my interpretation of what happened to him and how it affected Queen Serenity's life...


*Disclaimer* I don't own anything pertaining to Sailor Moon, so don't sue me.







Serenity sat on a bench in her garden, singing softly to herself as she picked the petals off of a blood red rose and let them fly away in the wind.

"That can't be very good for the flower, your majesty..."

A servent her age with dark gold hair and keen blue eyes smirked from down the path as he leaned on his shovel. Serenity wasn't exactly fond of that servent, or the way he acted superior to her.

"But how else will they be free, servent?"

The servent chuckled, shook his head, and returned to his work of turning the soil for the new trees to be planted in.

Serenity wrinkled her nose at him and returned to plucking the petals from the rose and singing. A brisk wind from the north swept by, snatching Serenity's hat from her head and carrying it away. She cried out in surprise and put a hand to her head.

"My hat!"

Serenity scurried down the path, searching for her hat. A few minutes later, she returned to the bench to find her hat, with white roses tucked into the band around it. Serenity picked it up, bewildered, and took the flowers. She smelled them and smield to herself, glad for such pretty roses.

She didn't notice the servent leaning against a sturdy tree not far away, smirking to himself. He lifted a white rose to his face, smelled it quickly, and walked away.
