Transforming a Ditz

Author's note: I'm sorry everyone that this chapter has in fact taken forever to get out. Unfortunatley I'm finding that fanfiction has been. becoming somewhat old for me. I'm losing interest, but I WILL FINISH THIS FIC! I know I've got a lot of ppl that like my fic and read it. I'm going to finish this fic soon, maybe by the next 10-15 chapters that come out. After that fanfiction won't be on my thing's to do list. I'm working on my first novel right now, so I'm going to be devoting all my free time to that. Maybe I might come out to finish my other stories, or even make a sequel to this fic. I'm sorry guys, it does happen from time to time.

I PROMISE that I will finish this story, the best thing for you all to do is to email me or review this fic. The more reviews I get the faster the chaps. Will come out. This particular fic has taken somewhere around a year for me to continue, and I'm getting a bit dried up. ^^' Heh, ah well! So is the life of a writer. I'm sorry if this note hurts or haunts any of you, I will cont. this fic, and I might make the sequel to it. But on to the story.

Disclaimers: See the previous chapters. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Recap: Her voice turned into a mournful moan, "Oh, but the king and queen would hear nothing of it, they were disgusted and angered towards their daughter and her lover. the knight was sentenced to death, and kept away from the child. The young princess was sent away on vacation to Earth, where she had a child born to her of the Knight." Serenity turned to the scouts, who watched in horror as the young knight was beheaded for the love he held, and the princess tortured with a broken heart. The birth of the child had sent Serenity into spirits, she would show the world, and bring to everyone the torture of her love. but her parents would have nothing of it. they took away her baby, and forced her to wed the prince, fooling him into thinking she was a virgin. and he would be her first and only.." Tears now fell from the Queen's face as she watched her younger self grieve over the loss of her baby and a marriage with no love. "Mercury, Mars, Jupiter. the daughter I had before I had Serena.. She was taken and grown up in a land, only to be locked up in a prison.. A prison that held no jobs but the protection of time, space and dimension.."

Chapter 18:

The scouts looked at their queen, eyes wide with surprise. "But. someone already guards those chambers, Serenity-hime." Amy murmured, her eyes widening as she thought about it. "Oh no.. please do not. It's. it's." "Hai, it's Setsuna. Sailor Pluto." Serenity's mournful voice continued.

The queen turned away from the scouts, "After my marriage, my mother made it clear to me that I would never see my daughter again, it was only when the outer scouts came to protect the outer kingdoms that I realized what would happen. You see scouts, as guardian of time and space, my daughter also gained powers. She is much like Serena, in fact. she was the true heir to this throne."

The scouts all gasped as one, Luna and Artemis looked down at the land. "S- serenity-hime! You can. can not. Why didn't you tell anyone?" Rei's shocked filled voice echoed through the now empty land, only to earn her a tearful response. "Because, how can I tell the person that has been my guard for hundreds of thousands of years that she is my daughter? The true heir to the Lunarian Crown? It is not POSSIBLE!" Serenity took a deep breath, before turning to face the girls, "But she has learned. She has done what she was forbidden to do. she has searched the past, scouts. She has learned the secret, she confronted me. But. but I can not give her the throne." Lita stared at the queen, stunned by this revelation. "And. and why not? Why can't you let her have the crown she rightfully deserves? Serena has Darien, and the earth!" Serenity jumped at her words. "D-Darien? N-no. she doesn't. Darien.." Her words trailed off, as she turned to stare at another scene that came up around the moon kingdom. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Setsuna frowned at the mirror, viewing Serena's training sessions. "Yes. I liked you, Serena-chan, do not mis-understand that, we were friends. But. your. our mother has made that impossible. She refuses to explain anything to me, I am your half sister, and yet I am treated like garbage. NO! I will not be tormented, I have protected, served, been loyal to her, she was my duty. you were too. I WILL NOT BE TURNED OUT!" She shouted at the mirror, insanity glinted in her garnet eyes. Insanity and depression glinted now, as she turned to face the inky black vertical pool that stood behind her.

With an angry scowl she stepped up to the vortex, only to turn around to face the mirror. For once her true anger, disgust, and scorn showed through, marring her otherwise beautiful face. "And Serena. I will get back my rightful throne. I will become the queen of the moon. and you, my sister, will take my place as guardian. You can't have Darien. you can't have the scouts. You won't have anything!" Her words were hissed out, the true black of her heart shining vividly now.

Just as quickly as it had appeared, the anger, resentment and down right ugliness about her quickly changed back. She smiled dutifully into the mirror, eyes bright with practice glee. She turned around and stepped through the portal, the sounds of her heels clicking in the chamber echoed lower and lower until it disappeared along with her figure and portal. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A young woman, sat in a chair. Her hair was loose about her, raven locks pooling lightly to the floor. She wore a deep purple gown, strapless that barely covered her chest. A long slit along the side, reaching her thigh, revealed moon-pale skin, fragile to the sun. In her hand she balanced a wine cup, she was youthful maybe around 19 years, her eyes were a dark amethyst color. She shifted in her chair, turning her eyes to the figure that walked briskly to her.

He had on a strange armor, dark black and silver, with strange purple hued designs running along it. His boots clicked on the tile floors, the chambers were dimly lit, to the point where you could barely see any where around the room. Upon closer inspection you could see small shadowed figures running around, looking almost tiny to the eyes. The young man had dark amethyst eyes that glinted in the light, almost an eerie glow. He dropped down to his knee, brown hair tied back, when he raised his eyes to the young woman he smiled.

The young woman rose and lightly walked down to him, the steps that led to her throne were covered in blood-red carpets, ones that contrasted sharply with the dark, dismal colors. She then stood in front of him, her words a low purr. "Shinegami. what brings you here so early?" Her lips were pink in color, the words the pooled from it almost turned them blue. Shinigami rose to his feet, "All is done. She will change everything, as you had asked. as will the doctor. The queen is far too late to help." His words held a ring of delight in them, eyes bright on hers, he was obviously expecting a reward for his message.

The young woman smiled and then edged closer, remaining inches from his face, eyes on him, a clouded seductive look to them. "You have done well, my sweet messenger of death." She said this, earning a smile of pleasure from the young man. She then smirked and leaned in to give him a chaste kiss on the lips, pulling away before he could deepen it. "Go now, I shall see you later, Shinigami. for now, call the child in." Her words were a low purr, a faint smile at the irritated look in his eyes.

He nodded then turned and left the room, unsatisfied. The young woman laughed, turning to walk up the steps, then sat down once again on her throne, extending her glass of wine to another figure that stood there. As the figure stepped forward, sandy blonde hair became visible, hair cut short to just bellow her ears, in a boyish style. The woman, as it was obvious by the shape of her, took the glass stepping back into the shadows.
