Author's Corner!!

Shi-chan: Whew, finally I'm done editing the third part of this creepy fanfictions :) Took me long enough! LOL My hands hurt.

**NOTE FOR SANDRA AND KELLI** Okies, Sandra said that Endymion would take over earth if him and Serenity got divorced. THAT IS NOT TRUE. The Moon Kingdom was supreme, to that even of the Earth Kingdom. Therefore, when the moon was destroyed, the Moon Kingdom still had right to rule from the next most suitable planet, being Venus. Venus, however, was no longer inhabitable by humans. The next planet after that was earth. THIS IS WHY SERENITY WOULD RULE EARTH, NOT ENDYMION!

To Kelli, thank you for the review you left! :) You're absolutely right. I can write a fanfiction with whatever couple I want, and if she wants Mamoru/Usagi, Sandra should go elsewhere. *GLOMPZ YOU* You're the kind of reviewer I love!! ^^

Serenity (AN: I'm going to refer to Neo Queen Serenity as just Serenity now because I don't want to type her whole name out. ^_^;;;) put her tea down and looked at Seiya. "So how have things been on Kinmoku?" She asked, trying to start a conversation. She found it hard to now that Seiya had returned because it embarrassed her that she had hurt him so bad when he was Chibi-Usa's father. Seiya shrugged. "Okay, I guess. Princess Kakyu hasn't been the same since our fight with Galaxia-san and neither have any of us three." Serenity suddenly blushed causing Seiya's eyebrow to lift. "Daijobu?" He asked. Serenity nodded. "Hai. It's just that. Well. you really love me. Don't you?" Seiya blushed lightly and smiled. "Of course. Why wouldn't I?" A single tear fell from Serenity's eye and she threw herself onto Seiya. "Gomen nasai, Seiya-kun! Ai shiteru!!" She yelled. Suddenly, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, and Hotaru burst into the room. "Neko- chan!" Haruka yelled. "What's wrong!? We heard you scream!" Michiru tapped her shoulder. "She looks okay to me." Michiru whispered. Haruka's face darkened a little, but she held her insults for Seiya back remembering that Serenity loved him. "Well, hello, Seiya-san." She said, closing her eyes. Seiya smirked, able to tell that Haruka was holding back. "Hello, Haruka- san. If you want to say something to me, go ahead. I won't think any less of Odango-chan's protector." Haruka opened her mouth to take his offer, but Michiru held her back. "She's got nothing to say! Do you Haruka-chan? Now, we'll leave the two of you alone." She yanked Haruka out of the room, followed by Setsuna and the little Hotaru

Serenity sighed. "Iie! More streamers! Send out nice invitations! Those are too plain. I want posters! I want everyone here tonight. this must be very extravagant!" She yelled out orders to the maids and butlers and servants. She had the Inner Senshi take the Three Lights out for the entire day and they weren't supposed to come back until 10 o'clock. They knew she wanted to set up the ball for Seiya's return. Partially for Yaten and Taiki as well. "Where do you want this banner, you Majesty?" Asked a man named Ricardo. Serenity looked down at the pink banner that was seven feet long. It said, "Welcome back, Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki!!!" Then there were pictures of the three of them. "Shao!" Serenity yelled to one of the maids who was going to be the DJ for the night. Shao walked over to the Queen. "Hai, ma'am?" Serenity pointed to number three on a CD that Shao was holding. "Play this song first. We're going to play the Three Lights' hits the whole time. After that one, play them in whatever order you like. The other CD's are on a rack behind the CD player." She informed Shao. The violet-haired woman nodded and ran off to the table where the CD player was.

"Finally! It's the day!" Minako said happily to Serenity. Serenity nodded and peaked in the ballroom. "Everything's ready and everyone is there, waiting for the cue to yell, 'Welcome back!'" She announced Minako held her locket out and transformed into Sailor Venus. "I have to go as Venus, ne?" She asked, knowing the answer. Serenity rolled her eyes playfully as Sailor Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter ran up the hallway, each dragging along either Seiya, Yaten, or Taiki. (AN: The Outer Senshi and Chibi-Usa are already in the ballroom.) Yaten frowned. "Why won't you five tell us what's going on?" He demanded. Venus rolled her eyes at him. "Just shut up and you'll see in about a minute." She told them. Serenity peered through the door again and slipped in, motioning for the Senshi and the Stars to follow her. "Ladies and gentlemen of Crystal Tokyo," Chibi-Usa cried, running onto the balcony that overlooked the entire ballroom, where Serenity and the other seven had just entered. "I'd like to present my mother, Neo Queen Serenity, her Inner Sailor Senshi, Venus, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter, and our new guests, my father, Seiya Kou, and his two brothers, Yaten and Taiki Kou!" Everyone clapped three times, and then they all yelled, "Welcome back!!!" And the lights of the room were turned on and the first song began to play. It was Serenity's favorite of the Three Lights' because Seiya wrote it and she could tell he wrote it for her.

"Last Christmas-I gave you my heart-But the very next day you gave it away- This year-To save me from tears-I'll give it to someone special. (Repeat chorus once more.)

"Once bitten and twice shy-I keep my distance-But you still catch my eye- Tell my baby-Do you recognize me?-Well-It's been a year-It doesn't surprise me-Happy Christmas-I wrapped it up and sent it-With a note saying 'I love you'-I meant it-Now I know what a fool I've been-But if you kissed me now-I know you'd fool me again.

"(Repeat chorus twice)

"A crowded room-Friends with tired eyes-I'm hiding from you-And your soul of ice-My god I thought you were someone to rely on-Me?-I guess I was shoulder to cry on.

"A face on a lover with a fire in his heart-A man under cover but you tore me apart-Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again.

"(Repeat chorus twice)

"A face on a lover with a fire in his heart-A man under cover but you tore him apart-(Maybe next year) I'll give it to someone-I'll give it to someone special."

Seiya turned to Serenity. "You planned this for us?" He asked. Serenity nodded and kissed his cheek. "Uh-huh. Sure did, Seiya-kun." Seiya suddenly stopped speaking and listened to the song playing when he recognized his voice as the lead vocalist. He turned to Serenity with an eyebrow lifted playfully. "I suppose you finally got the message in that song then?" He decided. Serenity narrowed her eyes at him because of his sarcastic-ness. Suddenly, she felt Seiya's arms wrapping around her waist. "May I have this dance, Odango?" He asked. She pretended to be deep in thought for a second and then she replied, "I can't think of a reason why you shouldn't except for the fact that you actually thought I was happy with Mamoru-san." They began to dance with everyone else and Seiya said, "You had your Senshi fooled. And Mamoru-san himself. Not to mention your entire Kingdom." Serenity considered the thought for a moment. "Alright. I'll forgive you." She pretended to still be upset with him but he gave her a kiss and she forgot all about it.

They danced for about an hour when someone stopped them. "I'd like to dance with the Queen a moment." A familiar voice said. Serenity held tight to Seiya in case she didn't want to dance with whomever was there, and then she looked up. Mamoru was standing there in a tuxedo. Serenity was about to refuse but Seiya had let go of her. "Just this once." He said, turning around. Mamoru had noted the annoyed look on his face, but his thoughts turned back to Serenity.

"Well," He began, putting his arms around her and beginning to dance, "You seem to be happier with that Starlight." Serenity scowled at him. "You're not jealous, are you? Chibi-Usa-chan seems to enjoy him more than you." Mamoru shrugged. "Maybe. I always knew there was something wrong between Chibi-Usa-san and I. I really don't care. The thing I regret most is that you are the heir of my Kingdom." Serenity glared at him and stopped dancing. "Mamoru-san, you were made very aware when you were brought up that if the Moon Kingdom was ever destroyed, the heir to the Moon's throne would take over the next most suitable planet. Metallia destroyed Venus, the next most suitable, and the others, so even if I had a choice, I still would've chosen earth." Mamoru narrowed his eyes at her. "Watch what you say. I may not be as powerful as you or have Senshi but I'm more than I seem, your majesty," He stated rather sarcastically, making Serenity roll her eyes and shove him away from her. "You know, Mamoru-san, you're right. You're more than you seem alright. You look sweet on the outside. But really, you're a low, self-absorbed jerk." She said, and walked off toward Seiya.

Seiya was talking with Sailor Jupiter when Serenity snuck up behind him and managed to jump on his back in the tight gown she was wearing. Seiya, startled, nearly attacked her until she said, "Kon'nichi wa, Seiya-chan!" He lifted her off his back easily and held her in his arms from the front. "Hi, Odango-chan." She jumped out of his arms and landed gracefully on her high heels. Seiya lifted his eyebrow. "You sure have changed, Odango. You always fell doing things like that before." Serenity smiled nervously, not sure if that was a compliment, or if he was upset. "Gomen nasai, it's hard, but I can't be chibi Usagi anymore." She whispered, a tear sliding down her cheek. Seiya cringed realizing her had hurt her feelings. He opened his mouth to apologize but she started talking again. "I have to act just like I did in my past life as a princess. and it's so hard. I'm so used to being clumsy, klutzy, failing, idiotic Usagi, and now I have to be Neo Queen Serenity, and protect a planet and make decisions, and sign papers. and. and." She started wailing and crying loudly. "Iie, Odango, that's not what I meant! I just meant that you're different. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Gomen nasai." He hugged her and they left that room leaving a bewildered Sailor Jupiter to stand there and look pretty.

Serenity had stopped crying within five minutes, and the couple was walking back to the ballroom before it was noticed that they were gone, when a reporter ran up to them with her cameraman. "Kon'nichi wa, your highness. My name is Xiaoyu Taijiharu. If you and Seiya-kun don't mind, can we get an interview and some opinions for our news show?" Serenity cast a glance at Seiya and he shrugged. "Why not?" Serenity replied. "Follow me." She commanded, walking off for another room so they wouldn't be in the hallway. " What room is this, your highness?" Xiaoyu asked. Serenity smiled. "This is one of the living rooms. Only my Chambers and main rooms have actual names, with the exception of the Crystal Prayer Pillar." She responded. She motioned for everyone to sit down, and so they did. The cameraman turned the camera on and faced Xiaoyu. She gave the usual greeting and then she turned to Serenity. "Neo Queen Serenity, how do you think your divorce with our former King Endymion will affect your and Neo Princess Serenity's life?" Serenity mulled over this for a moment, than answered, "It doesn't hurt me much. I never really liked him. I mainly married him because I thought that if I didn't, Chibi-Usa-chan wouldn't be born." Xiaoyu nodded and then asked, "Okay, so, how long have the two of you known each other?" Serenity stared at Seiya, mentally telling him to answer this one. "Well," Seiya began, "We met when she was sixteen and I was seventeen. We were in high school, and I had just transferred there because of my work as a singer with Yaten-chan and Taiki-chan. Our sensei had Serenity-chan-Usagi Tsukino then-be my guide around the school. At first, she despised me, but I liked her because she treated me as an equal, not just an idol. After time, we became friends, but for me, it was more than a friendship. I knew I was in love with her. How long it took her to figure it out, I haven't a clue."

Xiaoyu turned to Serenity, hoping she'd answer, causing her to flush hot. "Well, I knew I loved him but since I was already engaged to Mamoru-san- Endmyion-I didn't think I should let anyone know." Xiaoyu nodded and she asked about ten more questions when Serenity suddenly said, "We had better get back to the dance. People are going to realize that we're missing and wonder." Xiaoyu did her closing for the report and Serenity had a guard escort her and her cameraman out of the Palace since they didn't intend to stay for the dance.

"A beautiful face without a name, for so long. A beautiful smile to hide the pain."

A song called 'Wing beneath my Wings' came on as Seiya put his arms around Serenity's waist and they began dancing again. They were content for awhile when suddenly, Serenity said, "Seiya-chan.?" Seiya looked down at her and replied, "Hai, Odango-chan?" The Queen yanked Seiya's ponytail. "You're gonna stay here with me and Chibi-Usa-chan until we're both gone, right?" Seiya kissed her forehead. "Nah." He responded. Serenity's eyes widened and they stopped dancing. "Nani.?" She asked weakly. Seiya smiled again. "Longer than that, Odango."

"Did you ever know that you're my hero. You're everything I would like to be. I could fly higher than an eagle. You are the wind beneath my wings."
