Chapter 1
It was a peaceful, quiet day on the Moon. Too quiet, thought Queen Serenity. Usually on a day like this, there are many children running about and playing. I wonder why there aren't any. The Queen frowned. "Is there anything wrong, Mother?" asked the beautiful Moon Princess Serene, dancing into the room. "Oh, no. I was just thinking about something," smiled Serenity. "What were you thinking of?" inquired Serene. "Nothing," sighed the Queen. "Well that's a relief. I thought that our planet was going to be attacked or something," her daughter smiled. "Have you seen Serenity? I need to ask her a question." "Actually, I haven't seen her since breakfast." "Well, thanks anyway, Mom. See you later!" She cried as she ran out of the room. * * * "Serenity, where are you?" Where is she? thought Serene. Serene came into a room where she found all of the Sailor Scouts gathered. Their voices were barely above a whisper, but since she could still hear what they were saying, she hid behind one of the marble columns which were commonplace in the lavishly furnished palace. "Oh no," moaned Venus. "What's the Queen gonna do when she finds out?" "I dunno," Mars answered, "but if we get in trouble for this, it's YOUR fault, Jupiter, for encouraging her!" "Hey! I only said that she should be with the one she loved whenever she could! I didn't know that she loved Endymion!" Oh, no! thought Serene. She gasped. "Who goes there?" Jupiter cried. "I-it's me. Princess Serene." "How much of our discussion did you hear?" inquired Venus, slowly rising to her feet. "Almost all of it," she replied guiltily."Is it true that my beloved sister is marrying him?" She couldn't bring herself to say that name. "Yes. We feel the same way you do about the matter, Princess. She's entitled to someone better that...that scum of the earth!" "Serene? Where are you?" Her mother's voice came from across the hall. "Oh no! It's Mother!" Serene cried. The Queen entered the room and the Scouts bowed low. "Serene, what were you talking about?" the Queen asked. "Mother! Serenity's in love with him!" "And who, may I ask, is 'him'?" "Prince Endymion!" The Queen was taken aback at those words. She cannot be serious! she thought. My eldest daughter has more brains than to love the earth's ruler!
"Hell-o? Anybody home?" There's my sister now! She'll tell me the truth. "Sister! Tell me you're not in love with Endymion!" "Who told you that?" The Princess' voice suddenly became very sharp. "The Scouts! They knew that you were seeing him! Please don't marry him! I implore you!!" "Now, now. Serene, she is of age that she can choose who she wants to marry. Come to think of it, I think that it's a wonderful idea! The earth and the Moon need peace. "The Queen explained. "I guess you're right. Serenity, does he have any sisters?" * * * Princess Serenity and her sister were on earth with Endymion when Beryl attacked. Both Serenity and Endymion were killed and reborn on earth. Serene, however, was never found. Serenity believed that she was trapped in an underground cavern, made of a dark, impenetrable crystal. And although Serene had Crystal, it was also lost in that fateful battle.
