In the last chapter, there was at least a little romance shared between certain characters
during a ball in the Double Earth Palace's main ballroom, and in at least one area near it. Also
there were some things discussed by other characters who were also present at that same ball.
And at least one prediction relating to them and/or others was also made during that ball. If not
more than one, in fact.
This next chapter will be short, in fact. But it'll still hopefully give you all at least a little
bit more information about any number of potential future happenings for the main characters in
this story series, people. If not a lot of such information, of course.
Other things will be mentioned in other remaining chapter-like sections for this story as
needed. But just what those things actually are here, readers, you'll all just have to wait and see,
obviously enough.
Now without any further ado, let's get on with the next chapter of this story of mine here, if
that's all right with you here, readers. Please do read, review, and enjoy, if at all possible, quite
naturally enough, readers!

A The Chrysanthemum Chronicles Series Story
Main Dining Hall In The Double Earth Palace
Crescent, Moon Kingdom, Moon
December 22, 986
When Serena then got there several minutes later, at most, she was rather surprised to see
someone else there. That someone else was Queen Serenity, and she was now having some pizza and
other foods and at least one kind of non-alcoholic beverage, when her daughter Serena walked into
the main dining hall only a few minutes or so after leaving the area of the palace's main ballroom.
Serenity was the first to see Serena, when Serena entered the main dining hall, and she said,
"I'm feeding myself, so that my babies will hopefully grow well enough to survive at least until they're
born to me and your Dad, Serena."
"Are you really carrying a lot of babies in you now, Mother?"
"It seems so, Serena. Am I bigger than I was when I was carrying the twins, Serena?"
"The truth?"
"Yes, it seems I do want to know what you really think."
"I suppose so. But you were just carrying two then, Mom."
"Well, now it appears I have five in me now."
"Logically, then, you'd probably have to be bigger around than you were with the twins this
far along the last time you were carrying, I think, Mom."
"It stands to reason that's true, Serena. Are you all right with me having more kids?"
"If God sees fit to allow you to have more kids, that's fine with me, I suppose, Mother. I
wasn't ever hoping to be a sister, though, to anyone, Mom. I was expecting to be an only child, as a
matter of fact."
"But then the twins came."
"Yes, they did, and it's been interesting these past seven or so years with them around us in
our lives."
"I'd suppose so, Serena. Am I looking like a house, though?"
"Not really, Mom. Or at least not yet, I think, if you'll look like that before you have these
babies here on the Moon, or anywhere else you might have to deliver them in our Universe, if it can't
be anywhere here on the Moon, of course."
"Do you want to put your hand on my abdomen, and feel them kick under it, Serena?"
"You don't mind?"
"You did it when I was carrying the twins. I don't see any reason why you can't do it with
these babies as well, Serena."
"All right. But you'll need to turn enough for me to do that, then, Mother, if you think I should
do that."
"I understand that." Serenity then set down the piece of pizza and glass of orange juice she
was currently consuming, and she turned toward where Serena sat within reach of her at the same
table that she was now at in the main dining hall of the Double Earth Palace in Crescent. She then
wiped off her left hand with a little napkin, and said, "Please give me one of your hands, then,
Serena."
Serena did so, and after her mother had put Serena's hand on her abdomen, Serena then began
running her hand over it wherever she saw fit to do that. Within minutes, at most, Serena began
feeling the kicks of at least one of the babies now inside her mother.
She said, "Mom, I think there are at least two, if not three, girls inside you now. And they
seem to be trying to dance to the rhythm of your heartbeat, if I can tell what they're apparently doing
inside you right now. I also think there are three girls and two boys in you right now, though. There
are heads spaced about seventy or so degrees apart, on the average, it seems, in your womb. The boys
appear to both be near your right hip, I think, while one of the girls has her head oriented straight up
in your womb, if I'm not mistaken. The other two girls, if there are two other girls in you, both appear
to be to her left, with one of them about even with your left hip."
"Really?"
"Yes, I believe so. If you don't believe me, ask Dr. Matthew to confirm my suspicions within
the next few days, at most. It seems that the kids aren't much in the mood for a lot of movement right
now. Sure, they might move a little by then, but I don't expect much movement from them. You see,
you apparently are indeed carrying five babies, not just one or two, Mom. There's only a limited area
in which they'll be able to move, even over the next few days, at least. Sure, you'll probably get even
bigger, but that still might remain the case for them, for they'll probably grow too, of course, in the
meantime, as you do that."
Serena then removed her hand, after saying, "The girl at the top, I think, will be the first of
them to be born, followed by both boys, and then both of the remaining girls that are now inside you,
Mother."
"And do you have names for them yet?"
"No, Mother. Bethany, Destiny, and I don't yet have names for them all, for we've not thought
that far along yet. We've mainly been training of late, as I'm sure you're well aware of by now,
Mother."
"Yes, I suppose you have. Well, I'm hoping that we'll be able to see them by sometime in
April or May, Serena, if things go sufficiently according to plan for us and them in the meantime, of
course."
"And I hope that I'll finally have at least one brother in my life, if not more than one."
"That'd be nice, wouldn't it, Serena?"
"Sure, Mother. You've got that right, of course."
"Are you hungry now, Serena?"
Serena looked at her mother for a moment, then said, "As a matter of fact, I am, Mother."
"Then feel free to help me consume all this food, Serena, until you feel that you've had enough
food for a bedtime snack."
Then Serena began doing exactly that, as she also discussed at least a few more things with
her mother Queen Serenity, often at quite considerable length, of course. They often talked with each
other as they both put away a quite considerable amount of food and drank in the Double Earth
Palace's main dining hall. And not just about one or two things, either. They discussed several things
that came to their minds as they ate and drank the food and drink that Queen Serenity had originally
intended to consume all by herself, before Serena had unexpectedly shown up as well in the main
dining hall of that palace on the Moon.
Eventually, then, they parted from each other again, and both of them returned to each of their
respective chambers in that palace for at least the rest of the night, if not for a longer time than that.
Serenity left the main dining hall first, then Serena left it about two minutes after her mother had done
that. And when they each returned to their respective chambers in that palace, they both soon retired
to their own beds in them, where they both then slept at least until about an hour or two before local
noon in the Crescent area of the Moon.
There are four more chapters to this story after the next one. In the next chapter, or what might
pass for Chapter 22, Serena will talk with several others in her Imperial Palace chambers for a while
about certain people and things in her life, at least, if not in anyone else's as well. What she'll say
when she does so there, though, you'll all just have to wait and see, until that chapter gets put up as
needed on , in fact. This particular story here will have a total of 26 chapter-like sections
in it, most likely, readers.
I will brief you all more, as this story's end comes even closer, as needed, in fact. But the rest
of this story and its related series will still take at least some time to put up here, just the same,
readers. For I have not yet completed the series, even though I've written at least partly into the
seventh volume of this series, if not totally into it. Six volumes are complete. The seventh volume
in this series is in progress, as of the current time. And the Moon Kingdom hasn't yet fallen at the
point that I am now at in its series. When I finish getting the first six volumes of this story series up,
I will start to upload the seventh one. And then we can go from there, once you have seen all that I'll
have by that time for "The Chrysanthemum Chronicles" story series, readers. I don't expect to be able
to start uploading the seventh volume in the series for at least a few weeks or months, though,
however. For each volume in this particular story series of mine here is generally of good size,
whenever possible, in fact, readers. There are many more things yet to come in this series. But if I
say too much more than that right now and right here, you might choose not to continue reading this
series, I think. For I might then be spoiling it for you all here, obviously enough, of course. Until
later, then, this is "The Universal Storyteller" signing off here. Happy reading, and God bless, and
all that, of course, readers! Over and out!
