I don't own anything that has to do with Sailormoon.

Times were not peaceful throughout the celestial sphere. The Moon and the Earth were raging war against one another, neither refusing to give into defeat. One by one, the allies of the Moon fell into the power of the Earth and each planet was a stepping stone for the Earth as it advanced towards the Moon. These were dark times indeed. However, at the Moon Palace, the Princess Serenity was oblivious to all that surrounds her. She did not hear the people of the moon cry in agony for she was shielded by her mother who put on a happy front and pretended that everything was just fine. Queen Serenity the first did not want her daughter to know all the pain and suffering that is going on and that Princess Serenity should not be traumatized by anything at her young age of 16. Silently and in pain, Queen Serenity sent the last of her troops to fight and ward off the evil presence of the Earth and its King. Oh yes, King Endymion. Everyone knew of him and his dark, dangerous looks. How he can seduce anyone with just a nod of his head. He never smiles. This King is very young, only 22. However, darkness enveloped him and his only wish was to obtain sole power of the celestial sphere and he shall do it by force.

"Mother, I've been noticing that we have more and more guards on the royal grounds. Just yesterday I saw five soldiers in my garden and when I ordered them to leave, they said that they were put there on your orders. Please tell them to go away Mother, they are quite a burden and I rather have my gardens to myself" said Princess Serenity. She has just woke up and went downstairs into the Main Dining Room to meet her Mother, the Queen. Queen Serenity barely nodded her head. "Yes well daughter, I believe that it is necessary. Who knows what kind of evil is out there and might be wanting to attempt an assassin?" said the Queen. "Who would want to kill us? We haven't done anything...well maybe I did knock over a couple of stalls in the market a few years ago but that isn't reason enough to do anything...say...why don't we ever go out anymore Mother? I just noticed that for the past four years, I've been staying inside the palace. Let us go to the town center today Mother. I swear I will finish my painting lessons tomorrow. Please, let us go!" replied the Princess. The Queen smiled sadly and said "Maybe some other time Serenity, I have some...business that I have to attend to. In the meanwhile, please finish your painting lessons and your etiquette lesson with Madame Rouge. She was very disappointed in you yesterday when you failed to use the utensils in the proper order. You may be dismissed". And with that, the Queen left the Dining Room. 'Pish-posh' thought Princes Serenity. 'I don't like that Madame Rouge woman very much. She is too strict and solemn-faced for her own good! Mother is also. I'll show them! I'm going to the town center today! Oh bloody...how am I to get past those guards...Hmm...I'll have to think of something...' Serenity went back to her bedroom and fell flat on her bed. She looked out the window and glared at the guards. Sitting back up, she pondered about different ways to distract the soldiers while she makes her escape...

"What the...?! Help! We're being bombed! Help! Help! Ring the alarm!" Chaos was everywhere as Serenity made her escape. She strolled right out of the palace gates and hid behind a tree while observing the misery that the soldiers were put in. 'Look at them! Just a few water balloons with rocks and they go all crazy. They are as useful as dying pigs!' thought Serenity. With a shake of her head, she walked the road down to the town center. It has been a while since she visited all the townspeople so it will be very good to see them all again. Serenity whistled as she walked the path down. She stopped by a couple of trees to rest. 'I don't remember it being this long...but then again I never walked down to the town center' thought Serenity. She considered going back to the palace but instead, she set a determined face and started down the road once again. Thump! Thump! Serenity pounded her feet against the dirt road. She was getting very impatient for the water fountain wasn't in sight yet. Just when she thought she was about to go mad, Serenity saw the fish water fountain. 'There it is!' she thought, 'There is the town center! Whoopee!' Serenity raced down and suddenly ran right into something...or someone. "Oof" Serenity said as she fell back. She looked up and saw...well...an army! She gazed up at the sight of the leader and immediately blushed. He was well...gorgeous... Serenity immediately stood up and brushed off some dirt. Then she started around the army. Everyone suddenly withdrew their swords, bows and arrows and pointed them at her. Serenity gulped and look at the soldier's weapons and faces. The leader of the army went up to her and looked down at her befuddled form. He was over a foot taller than her and she had to almost look up to the sky to see his face. "Well little girl, where are you headed? To fetch some milk for your mother?" asked the leader. Serenity was lost in a trance when his voice snapped her back to reality. 'Little?! I am 16! Who is he calling little?!?!' thought Serenity. She was outraged. She looked up at the towering form and frowned. "Well sir, I doubt I am a little girl and no I am not fetching milk for my mother, we have servants to do that for us. I am going to the town center and visit all the people! So if you and your men would step aside, I would gladly be on my way...say...you're not from the moon, are you? You're not wearing the right uniform. Yours is all black with some weird shape on it. Ours is white with a crescent moon. Who are you anyway?" The leader was surprised. He lifted an eyebrow and said "No, we are from the Earth and we are headed to the Moon Palace to claim what is ours". Serenity was bewildered. 'What do they want that we have? I never heard of the Earth before. Ahh darn, I shouldn't have chased anyway my geography teacher last year.' thought Serenity. "Well, can you please move? I really need to go to the town center. There is so much to do there and so little time, I shouldnt-" "There is no longer a town center little girl" said the leader. "What? You must be joking, I see the water fountain right there. What do you mean there is no longer a town center?" asked Serenity. "We destroyed the town center and all its civilians. There is no longer a town center" replied the leader. Serenity just stared. Then suddenly she exploded. "NO! DON'T SAY THAT! DON'T TRY AND SCARE ME LIKE THAT! YOU'RE JUST A BIG MEAN BULLY AND I WANT TO GO HOME!" Serenity started crying hysterically and when she did her hood fell down. Everyone gasped. Even the leader who is always calmed was taken back. This was the princess! But how can she not know about the raging war? The leader just stared. After a while, he lifted her up and placed her on his horse. "Move back men, I think I have something the Queen dearly want". With that, the army proceeded back to the Earth with Serenity crying "Mother! Mother! MOTHER!". After a while, Serenity just felt darkness evading her as she struggled to keep her eyes open. However, she gave into sleep and the bliss that it provided...
