Endymion blended with the crowd walking through the marketplace. After going through the portal, he had knocked out the guards with the mysterious power and had sneaked out into the busy capital city of Selene. He'd been hiding out for two weeks. He'd sent word to his princess and was saddened by the fact that his daughter had been taken immediately after birth, without Serenity even being able to touch her. He was waiting impatiently for the end of the week when they would make their escape.

Serenity had told him that she'd seen their baby, she'd been temporarily given to a castle servant to act as a wet nurse while the
queen searched for a suitable family. He shook his head and a wry smile curled his lips. They were going to kidnap their own child.

Endymion walked into the inn he'd been staying at and hurried into his room. He lay down on his bed and closed his eyes.


Serenity sat and stared blankly at the wall in her room. Her eyes were red and puffy and tearstains covered her cheeks. She'd been crying since they'd taken her child. The only light in her world of darkness was knowing that Endymion was close by. She'd roused herself enough to search the castle and had eventually found her baby girl hidden in the servant's wing.

Serena sighed heavily and looked at her calendar. Just two more days. Two more days and then she, Endymion, and their daughter would make a new life on the Earth. They would be far away from the queen and her plots to make her daughter miserable.

Lying down, Serena closed her eyes and felt herself drifting toward sleep. Her dreams took her forward to her new life and a slight smile graced her lips.


It was the dead of night and pitch black. Serenity tiptoed toward the servant's wind and peeked into the room where her child slept. Earthlight streaked pale blue across the baby's face and caused the crescent moon on her forehead to glint. The wet nurse snored softly on her pallet. Serenity's eyes filled with tears as she watched her daughter sleep. Hurrying forward, she carefully lifted the little girl and sneaked out of the room. Luckily, the baby slept on.

With her child cradled in her arms, Serena made her way to the portal room. She carried nothing with her--she wanted nothing to remind her of this life.

She almost screamed when arms reached out of the darkness and wrapped around her. However, the deep murmur of Endymion's voice calmed her.

"I've missed you, my love," he whispered, hugging her close. "Come, we'll go see my contact in Tokyo and get your and the baby's IDs completed."

Serenity leaned up and kissed his lips softly. "Let me cloak myself and the baby first." She stepped away from him and closed her eyes. A soft silver glow surrounded her and when it faded a moment later, Serena's hair was golden blond, her eyes had turned a clear crystal blue, and her crescent moon was gone. The baby's thin layer of silver hair was now a light pink and her crescent moon was also invisible.

"Pink?" Endymion asked, looking down at their daughter.

Serena shrugged. "I haven't completely mastered my magic yet. Changing one's appearance and hiding one's presence isn't exactly something regularly taught."

"Oh well," Endymion muttered. Somehow, the pink hair seemed to suit the little girl.

Wrapping his arm around his love and his daughter, Endymion guided them through the portal and into the Palace of Earth. They hurried through the hallways and finally emerged in a room with several portals to different Earth cities. Endymion stopped her before she stepped through the Tokyo one.

"There will be a man on the other side. He's my contact, so don't worry," he said. He lightly kissed her forehead and patted their child's back.

Serenity nodded and took a deep breath. She walked into the portal and ended up in a small room that had only one man in it. She reminded herself not to panic and smiled briefly at the man. Serena stepped aside for Endymion to come through. The two men shook hands and the man led them to a room where he took both Serenity's and the baby's photo and then took the baby's--now Chibi-Usa--hand and foot prints.

"There's a car outside for you and a temple just down the street," the man explained once he'd handed them their completed identifications. He bowed, then stepped back. Endymion--now Mamoru--thanked him and the man left.

Serenity looked nervously out into the street and chewed her lower lip. "Endy, everyone knows your face. I think I need to cloak you also."

"It's Mamoru now, love," he replied. "How can you cloak me? We won't always be together."

"Give me the wedding rings, I can enchant them so that it will cloak you when you wear it."

Mamoru handed her the rings. Both were platinum, Usagi's with a large marquise-shaped diamond in the middle and flanked by two smaller trillion-shaped, pink diamonds. Mamoru's had no diamonds but was etched with a design. A glow enveloped Usagi once again. After a moment, the glow seemed to get sucked into the rings. She handed them back to Mamoru. Usagi considered buying Chibi-Usa a piece of jewelry to cloak her, but since her daughter was not known by anyone it was not necessary.

Finally content that she had done all she could to hide their true identities, Usagi walked out of the portal room with Mamoru and their daughter and got into the waiting car.


The wedding ceremony was short, mainly because Chibi-Usa had woken up and was fretting. It seemed to pass in a blur and in no time they were Mister and Missus Chiba Mamoru.

The sun was setting when they pulled into the parking garage of their apartment, which had also been found for them by the man at the portal. Mamoru had secretly transferred funds into a bank account for them to live on while he searched for a job and went to college.

Usagi could hardly believe they'd done it. She gazed with wide eyes down at her gleaming wedding ring. How would the priest react if he knew that he'd married the Prince of Earth and the Princess of the Moon in a secret, forbidden ceremony? A small grin took up residence on Usagi's face. She could just imagine the frail old man falling over in a dead faint.

Yawning, Usagi looked over at her daughter who lay asleep in a bassinet by the bed. Tomorrow would be a busy day as well, she would need to visit the local high school and see if she could register for classes in order to graduate and Mamoru would have to enroll in college and start looking through want ads in the newspaper.

Crawling into bed beside her love, Usagi pillowed her head on his chest and fell asleep.


Author's Note:
Okay, so I've given author notes a second thought. It's certainly been a long time, hasn't it! I'm so sorry for not updating. A bad case of writer's block and fading interest were the main contributors. Anyway, I wanted to explain the diamond shapes for anyone who doesn't know. Marquise is the typical diamond shape and Trillion is triangle-shaped. So the middle diamond (marquise) would have a triangle shaped pink diamond on both sides, the flat side against the marquise diamond. Oh, and platinum is silver-colored. :-)
