***FLASHBACK***

*~*~* Serenity's Point of View *~*~*

I have to keep going. Keep going, SERENITY. I told myself mentally. I hugged Serena closer to me and tried to run faster. But the truth was, I had no idea where I was suppose to go. But one thing was for sure; I had to get away, away from the general, who obviously works for Beryl. I looked back and realize he was getting closer. I wish I were more powerful and stronger so I'd be able to get away farther and faster, by orbing. But since I just give birth to Faith recently, I have absolutely no strength to orb anywhere far away, especially not with a baby, which will take much more strength. Oh my darling Serena. I continue to think to myself. If not for myself. I still MUST get away from him, for your sake. You hold the fate of the future of the planet. You must not be harmed. It was then that I bumped into the two of THEM.

The moment we impacted, I felt their pain and as well as their starve. The need for a child of their own. Oh my! I thought to myself. I have three children of my own, yet, they have none. And the hurt they feel. That starve, I've never felt like that. Forget that, I have never known anyone who wanted a child that much and was not able to somehow achieve it. The poor couple.

"I'm sorry." I said, taking a good look at the couple. They were both definitely pure Japanese Terrene. The lady whose name I found out by a quick mind read was Ikuko. She has long dark bluish curly hair that went down to her waist. Her husband. More mature and older, named Kenji has shorter mature cut dark blondish brown hair. "I was in such a hurry I wasn't even looking at where I was going." .

"That's ok." The lady replied. "It's no big deal."

"I can't explain it right now and I know it will sounds crazy, but I need your help."

"Oh. Um...what's wrong? What can we do to help?" The lady asked.

"Someone very bad is after me and my baby. Please can we get away and then talk?" I pleaded

"Is this person here?" her husband asked.

"Yes" I replied

"Ok. Come with us to our house then, It'll be much more safer there." He offered

"Thanks you. But I wonders." I asked, curious and unable to believe there's people as nice as they are.

"Yes?" She asked

"Aren't you worried I'm a bad person." I asked curiously.

"I can not imaging such a pretty woman can be evil. Although I could be wrong. But still, something tell me we would rewarded greatly is we help you. This may sounds like I'm a very selfish person." She replied. "Come on, let's get out of here."

It was unbelievable to me. But desperate time call for desperate solutions and at that moment I had no choice but to go to their home with them. However, I didn't realize the next choice I had to make would be a devastating one at the same time the best choice I ever made in my life.

As soon as I saw their white picket fenced blue house I knew. And my opinion depended even more when I saw the warmth inside the house. It was so pretty, yet so simple. It's nothing like the old historical Dayton mansion I've lived in for the past few years with Ryan.

I knew this was what Serena needed. I knew they'd be able to provide Serena with loving family that she may not have with the Dayton. I'm not saying the if living with the Daytons is not loving, after all she is a Daytona and both sets o grandparents loves her, as well as me and her father. Ryan treats Serena as his little princess and even calls her Princess. It's sad but He never in the last month treat the newly born Faith with same love. Of course he love Faith just as much as he love Serena. But somehow, it's different and to me seems more.

So I decided to tell them about it all.

"Please let me introduce myself first. My name is Selene Serenity Crescent Dayton. I used to be a model until I was pregnant with Serena about a year ago. I married Ryan Dayton, the oldest son of Richard Dayton of Dayton Inc." At that time both of them were shocked by it. I nodded my head to insure I was telling them the truth. "That's right. You might have heard about out marriage 3 years ago. Richard, that's Serena's grandfather have recently step off as CEO of Dayton Inc. The Dayton is one the richest family in the world. I'm their oldest daughter in law. Anyway, Serena is my oldest daughter with Ryan. She have an five minutes younger twin brother named Alex, after my husband, Ryan Alexander Dayton. We also have a newly born a month old daughter named Florence Fidelity, Faith for short." As I stopped to take a breath, she asked "Why are you telling us all this? What does this has anything to do with you someonw if after you?"

"It's complicated. A person named Beryl Diameds is after me. Actually she sent her boy toy after me. She'd determined to get rid of me. You see. I'm not really human"

"Ah!" both of then in took a quick breath.

"Please. Don't worry." I told then "I'm not trying to hurt you. Haven't you ever heard of the story that there's an Bunny Kingdom on the moon?"

"Sure. It's only a tale though. " She replied

"While IT might be a tale to the humans on earth. To me, it's a legend, Actually I should say's to me it's a saga. That legendary kingdom is my home. I used to live here, a lifetime ago. Like I said I'm not really human, I'm actually Lunar. That's Moon people. " I said

Both of them looked at me like I was crazy. So I continued. "I know you must think I'm crazy." while she tried to figure our how to replied, He nodded his head. When she noticed. She hit him on the head. I smiled inward to myself. Think of how much I would miss doing that kind of loving things with Ryan once I... Instead thinking on. I turned my attention back to the couple. "You see, because I'm Lunar and also one of the most powerful Lunar, I have magical powers. A power so magical and powerful, it attracts many people, mostly bad who which to have it. Eventually they become enemies. "

"Are you saying this Beryl woman is after your power?" He asked.

I nodded my head. "That's right. She's from the Negaverse Family. She's not only after my power, but also my life and those of my children. Especially Serena."

"Why especially Serena?" she asked.

"Because she's the future me. She could be even more powerful than I already am, especially after she turns 14. That's the age on the moon that says you are an adult. "

I thought about how that's the age when you can start to 'date' or rather be courted. When you can accept marriage proposals and be betrothed officially. When you began puberty and can get pregnant and have children. But the chances of me there when these things are slim to none.

"How powerful can she get?" Kenji asked.

"I can't say. She can go anywhere from moving things with her mind, snap her finger for anything to appear, read mind, to heal a cut with out actually touching the person to Powerful enough to control people by her mind."

" What do you mean by controlling people?" Kenji asked.

"It could be from making you getting a cup of coffee for her when you obviously don't want to to controlling a youma."

"Youma?"

"That's right. Youmas. Eventually one day she would have to fight and kill them. "

"Oh My." Ikuko said, already sounding like an overprotected mother. I just know she will be the perfect mother. "And you said read mind.. Does that mean you..."

"Hai. Ikuko, Kenji." I replied. When I called them by their name which they never told me, they were surprised.

Then after a few moment of silence I continued. "There's more that's I need to tell you. You see, I'm not just a powerful Lunar. I'm also the rule of the Moon Kingdom. I rule during the Silver Millennium. The time is about 1000 years B.C. The Moon was one of two of the most powerful Kingdom in the Galaxy during that time. My husband was Solar, that's Sun people, ruled the Sun Kingdom. We had an arranged marriage when I was 16 and he 20. It was a marriage of convenience. I was the oldest daughter, the next ruler of the Moon, while Ryan was the oldest son, the next ruler of the Sun. The marriage was for the peace of the two kingdoms. There's no love in our marriage for years, also the reason I didn't give birth to Alex and Serena until almost 5 years after the marriage. " I took a pause of breath to let the story settle in their mind, then continued. "Anyway, later on an evil force from outside the galaxy came and they were determined to take over the Sun and Moon. Of course, we wouldn't let them happen, so together Ryan and I banished them out of the galaxy. What we didn't expect was that they would come back with a hit so hard, it killed many innocent people. But the most devastating would be that Ryan died defending our kingdoms. I had just gave birth like right now to Faith and was so weak, I wasn't able to help at all. However, the Earth people who were an isolated kingdom until that time offered to help. It's obvious, if this enemy can defeat the Sun and Moon Kingdoms combined together, then the Earth would be in danger as well. With their help, we were able to defeat some and banish the rest. We knew there would be more danger in the future, hence the (SMA) Silver Millennium Alliance. "

"Wow. That's amazing." Ikuko. Said.

"There's even more. When Serenity, that's my daughter's official royal name, was very in love with the Prince Earth Endymion. Beryl, the daughter of the enemy came back with a very strong force we didn't expect on Serenity's 16's birthday. Beryl wanted Endymion and when she tried to take him by force, Serenity jumped and was killed by a force of black magic released by Beryl. I had no choice but to sent everyone of the kingdoms to another world. Earth was the most wise choice. Beryl, I was able to banish away."

"But her force is coming back. And eventually Serenity has to go through a fight with Beryl. This mostly won't happen until she's 14 or older. But his general of beryl who is strong enough to come here to Earth is determined to kill me. The truth is. I'm weak. Very weak. I mostly won't be able to defend him. But I will give it my all. Which means Serena need to be put into the hands of somehow I can trust. I have to relatives her in Japan and this can't be delayed than it already is. My decision is simple. I choose you two, Ikuko, Kenji."

"Why us?"

"The truth is. I know you two have been trying to have a child and can't. Also I can feel the pure goodness coming from your hearts. It's one of my 6th senses. I beg you. Please take care of my Serenity for me."

"Of course we will, until her father can come to take her."

"NO." I yelled. I didn't realize how loud it was, but it was loud enough to wake Serena.

"Mommy?" Serena asked. "What's wrong?" I knew she could sense the sadness, scarce and every other kind of emotion I was feeling.

"Nothing sweetie." I said. Then turned my attention back to the couple. I rubbed Serena's back while I knew calmed her. "Please. Won't you?"

"Serenity. What I don't get is why you wouldn't let us contact Ryan."

"Serenity's will be much safer with you than with Ryan. Beryl would never suspect that Serena's alive and with a Japanese family. You see, the plan is that I would convince that Serena's died, especially if I'm dead. If I'm still alive in a month, I'll come back for Serena. If not, within 6months, you two will be her legal adopted parents until she's 14. When she turns 14, you need to tell her about what I've told you today. The rest she would learn with her power, which would come back when she turn 14."I said, "however, there is one negative in this whole thing."

"What is that?" The two asked.

"You might earn a child today, but in 13 years you might lose her again. She has the right to decide whether to go back to Ryan or not. Are you willing to deal with that?" there was silence while they thought. Mentally to myself, I prey they would except the term

"We..." Ikuko started to say, then turned to Kenji, who nodded, then continued, " we except the terms. We'll be Serena's parents, if necessary, for the next 13 years. How can we not. It's the chance of a lifetime."

"There's one, actually two more thing. First, he name must be changed to Japanese. I think the choice would be Usagi. Usagi means Rabbit and that's one of the double meanings of Serenity in Lunar, of course, her last name would be Tsukino. " Both of them nodded in agreement to what I said. Then I continued. First I snapped my fingers, and instantly, my hair was in my royal family hairstyle. It look like two balls, one left and the other right, on top of my head, while the rest of the hair is two pony tails hanging from under the balls. (A Note: think meatballs, as in meatball head. Get it? Meatballs? Never mind...) "Serena might have the tendency to want to put her hair up into this style. It's the Lunar Royal style for girls. She will want to simply because it's in her blood. However, you should limit her as much as possible. If any enemy is trying to find US, this is what they'd most likely look for. The family hairstyle is universally known after all. Serena would protest, because of her long hair. The long hair is one thing I can't change. The Lunar blood make sure the hair grows fast until it feels the hair is long enough for the girl at certain stages and age of her life span. Therefore, Serena would protest. But tell her how she should do it only for special occasion so it's unique. You know what I mean, right?"

"Of course." Ikuko, "I'll make sure of it. "

"Thanks you. I feel I can leave her now, because Serena is in good hands."

I let Serena stand on her own and said, "Serena, Mommy have to do something. It's hard for me, but for your safety, I have to. Please understand this is the only way for now. " Serena nodded. "Give Mommy your hands." Serena did so as I asked. Shakingly, I asked, "Serenity, close your eyes." Serena closed her eyes without thinking. I hurt me even more because I know how much Serena trusted in me, but I had to do this. "Selene, Goddess of the Moon, let you be the witness of this bidding. From this day on until the age of 14, Serenity, Princess of the Moon kingdom of Lunar will be Usagi. Let all her poweres and memories be binded until then. Yesterday's memories be binded, while Today and Tomorrow the continuity of life acts as Serenity's Guardians. Until then, Ikuko, Kenji , are new parents of Serenity. As Usagi, Lunar Sign is bind as well." While I was saying all this, my moon sigh was shooting light at Serenity's. When It was over. I pulled Serenity in a tight closed hug. Then after kissing the fading moon sign and put her to sleep. "I put her to sleep, when she awake she will not remember me at all. Instead, she will remember you as her parents." I told them. "I must go. "Serenity, I love you my darling, WoAiNi," I said I love you in Lunar before I hand the sleeping Serena over to Ikuko, who hugged Serena as a mother would her new born. After giving then a nod, I rushed out of the house, without looking back at all.
