Author's Notes:

This is my first crossover between two boy bands and Sailor Moon, but it's NOT your typical match the guys with the girls. I've read too many of the band boy/Sailor Moon crossovers where there is no Mamoru (no offense to anyone out there, I still like those fanfictions). So I decided to make a story that would involve the senshi with one band and STILL keep Mamoru in there. When I realized that some members were married (I take it you figured out which band) I decided okay take some guys from one band, some guys from another band and bring them together.

Then I realized I needed not just the inner senshi but the outers as well. So I have more girls than I do guys, oh what to do, that's when I decided okay this married guy could be strictly friends with Pluto, so now I have the characters kind of set up. But I'm still in need of a leader, and if Usagi is going to have Mamoru, who's going to be with the leader of this Silver Millennium band group? So I borrowed a character from my original all Sailor Moon fanfiction and used her here.

So this is it, my fanfiction, with all character disputes out of the way. Now on with the disclaimers:

I do not, will not own any part of Sailor Moon in any way, shape or form. Sailor Moon all belongs to Naoko Takeuchi.

The bands in this crossover piece, which I will mention once they actually make an appearance, (but if you're wondering now N'Sync and Backstreet Boys) I do not own, know, nor have any rights pertaining to them.

Word of Warning: if any of you are angry because the person that is the 'leader' or 'prince' in the Silver Millennium is not YOUR favorite boy band member, don't flame me. Instead tell me whom you want to see as the leader and I'll give them an interesting tie in the Silver Millennium.

Now with all that out of the way onward...

Introduction - The Broken Song

A cold winter breeze blew into the garden of light. Fluttering through the leaves and the petals upon the rose patches and flowerbeds. Another breeze flew into the arched balcony that overlooked the garden and went through the silver curtains.

Behind the golden-embroidered cloths was a majestic bedroom adorned with silver furniture and golden trimmings, the walls were also white marble trimmed in gold. A king size poster bed surrounded in mesh curtains of gold and silver stood against one side of the room. A vanity table with dresser stood against the wall next to it, with a floor length mirror in the corner between the bed and the vanity. On either side of the bed was a large window laid in with pillows and a cushion, covering those windows were golden drapes with silver embroidery that hung from the top of the window and parted down the center at about midway down the window.

On the wall opposite from the vanity and wardrobe was a pair of bookcases that went from the floor to the ceiling and a ladder to allow easy access to the higher shelves. Within those shelves were books of spells, incantations, wards, and other books of music, staffs. Commanding some of the top shelves were several rather large volumes regarding most of the planets of the Silver Alliance. A door stood next to the shelves leading into the spacious closet with a rather large assortment of gowns for all occasions. Another door that led out of the room stood across from the bed and was bordered with mesh curtains of gold to offset the white marble walls.

A low hum filled the empty room as a girl; probably no more than sixteen stood up from the seat at the window and walked gracefully towards the balcony doors. After leaving a book on top of the wardrobe that was next to the balcony door she continued out. She was a small girl just growing into her womanly figure; she wore a gown of the lightest lavender that flowed out from her developing hips. The top was off the shoulder and almost showed off her fit upper body. In a swish of billowing silk and chiffon she walked towards the end of the balcony and stood there, taking in all of the comforts of home knowing full well that like all good things, it would come to an end at one point or another.

Two tears escaped her soft golden eyes as they trickled down her cheek and fell off her face to the gold and silver rose bed below her. A soft breeze began to pick up and blew towards the figure in lavender-white, picking up her long ankle length hair, which she had opted to allow to keep down this night.

There was a ball in coming at the Moon Kingdom hosted by her adopted sister Princess Serenity and her adopted mother Queen Serenity. She had prayed for the guardians of the light to allow her love from the star planet Euphonia to attend the festivities but she knew that was an impossibility. With the Earth Kingdom fighting a losing battle against a peasant backed by evil sorcery Prince Endymion may not even make it as well.

Her own Prince Arion and his generals and comrades were also fighting a losing battle against some of the minions backed by Chaos himself. She allowed several more tears to fall as she prayed silently for the deaths of the innocents this lonely night.

Slowly the princess plucked off a lavender rose that hung over her balcony and looks at the perfection the rose brings out, "Oh my love, after being with you for almost two years are we to end like this? Ripped away from one another because of jealousy, greed, and power?" With a sigh she breaks the stem off the bloom and allows the blooming flower to be blown off her hand to the dark gardens below.

The floating lavender bloom flowed down and would have hit the grass below had it not been for the hand that stopped its path. The hand belonged to a man in dark armor as he gazed lovingly to the girl that was still standing upon the edge of the balcony.

"My beautiful angel, I wished that the battle needn't be fought at all, but seeing the affect it is having on not only my kingdom but Endymion's as well, how could I avoid it?" Seeing the bloom in his hand he gazed up at his love with noble blue eyes, "I will always be with you my love, even after death." He allowed the rose bloom to fall from his hands and combed his short dark brown locks from his eyes.

Looking one last time at his angel in lavender he walked away from the gardens and started for the Moon Kingdom, but not before leaving a kiss in the air for his love.

The Princess upon the balcony looked once more at her gardens and walked back inside to prepare herself for the outing forgetting to put away the book that she had placed on the vanity to begin with.

As she left the room, the book suddenly came to life as the old tears and rips started to fade leaving a brand new book in it's place. The brown covering harden as if planning to last for another millennium, in bright gold the title of the book appeared on the front cover, "The Written Prophecies".
