***********************************THE EARTH PALACE*****************************

"Welcome all of you. I am Lady Luna the queen's advisor." Greeted the black cat

"It is a pleasure to meet you Lady Luna. I am..." Started Artimas

At the sound of his voice Lun's head whipped around in surprise. "Artimas!!!!" she shreaked

"You know me?" he asked in a voice that showed mixed emotions. It was hard to tell whether he was startled, nervouse, angry, or sad. So many emotions, but the most dominant one was confusion.

"Of course I know you! But you were pronounced dead... how is it possible...?" Luna said sounding perplexed by this whole situation.

"Well, I'm afraid I don't understand how you know me. But that is not the purpose of this visit. We have come to return to you the missing princess." Artimas said. Serena steped forward, as asked. "Lady Luna allow me to introduce her Royal Highness, Princess Serenity." He introduced her, with a gesture of his paw.

"Yes she certainly 'looks' like the princess..., but so did many of the others." Luna said thoughtfully, "I have a few questions to ask you. First, How old are you?"

"Fifteen" Serena answered shortly, yet polightly.

"Good. When is your Birthday?"

"June 30th, 1985 S.M."

"Good. Where where you born?"

"The Moon Castle in the city of Serenitis, Located in Mere' Serenitis, in the kingdom of the Silver Millenium on the moon." She recited as she had read it from the text book Artimas had her read.

"Excellent, What is your full name?"

"Princess Lady Serenity Usagi Moon the 35th."

"Wonderful, Who are your gardians?"

"Ray, Amy, Lita, and Mina." she said simply. She didn't realize what she had said till she saw Lady Luna's eyes grow wide with surprise. "Oopps... I mean The Sailor Scouts, Sailor Mars (Princess Rechelle), Sailor Mercury (Princess Ameara), Sailor Jupiter (Princess Litrichia), and Sailor Venus (Princess Minissiana)." she gave a small imberrassed laugh.

Luna stared at her in utter shock. No one called the Scouts that but Serenity. In fact few people even knew they had nicknames. "Incredible..." Luna said comming out of her shock. She glanced at Artimas, to check his reaction to her answer and found him staring at her with a mixture of surprise, nervousness, and eritation in his eyes. "I have one last question for you. But first I have to ask, where did you here those first names you said?" She asked curiously.

"Huh? Those names? I don't know. When you said my Gardians, those were the first names to pop into me mind and I said them without thinking" she smiled sheepishly.

"I see... I asked because they are the Scouts nicknames that the Princess gave them when they were young and very few people knows them. Now, my last question, You may find this a bit odd, but, what happened durring your eighth birthday?" Luna asked

Hearing this Artimas' head dropped. He had for got to tell her what he had learned from servants that had made it out of the palace. Darien did the same. He couldn't answer that and he had lived in the palace most of his life, so surly she couldn't either.

"Hmm..." Serena had to think about this. That question had brought some berried memory to the surface. Her eyes goin out of focus, she spoke her thoughts outloud, "Prince Endymion and I were playing in the hallway... We were playing tag. Darien tackled me to the ground... and started tickling me. I squeeled 'I give' between laghs and..... He said 'Good'. Then he stood up and said in a mock gentlemanly voice.....'allow me to help you up princess'. Then he retch to take my hand and and just as he was pulling me to my feet..... there was an explosion coming from the Ballroom. Artimas said something like 'The castle is under attack'. I was so terrafied that I clang to Endymion like glue. Artimaas opened a passageway and we followed it running as fast as we could... Darien kept yelling 'Run Serena, Don't stop'. I got and kept runing tword the woods. When I looked back to see if Darien was there....... I tripped over a tree root and hit my head."She had been so buisy remembering, that she hadn't noticed the two little tear drops running down her cheaks or the look on Darien's face that mirrored her own. She finnally looked up to see Luna and Artimas staring at her, and Darien staring at the floor. "I'm sorry, that must sound like the most rediculaus story ever. Secret passagways..." she said imberrassed.

"Well, how did she do?" asked Artimas once he had come out of his shock.

"She did excelent." answered Luna

"So, when do we see the queen?"

"Never, I'm afraid."

"Come again, Luna?"

"The queen refuses to see any more girls."

"Please, Luna do something. There must be some way we can see the queen..."Darien said at last. He now knew for certain that she was the princess. He also knew the He was Prince Endymion, but this fact would have to wait. He had to take care of Serena first.

"I'm sorry." said Luna, then she had an Idea, "Do you like the Plantary Ballet? The queen and I Love the Planetary Ballet. We never miss it." She said with a wink.

TO BE CONTINUED......
