AN: I finally managed to get this out. Sorry it took so long. I was giving my other stories attention. Speaking of which, I should have new chapters for two of them out by the end of next week. And thaks to DarienGirl1, oxostardustoxo, way2beme(how many of my stories to you review anyway?), aQuA rHaPsOdY, AndiTanaka, and xRhythmicxGymnastx for reviewing!(If you're names not there, I only wrote the ones that reviewed on the last chapter :-)


Neo-Queen Serenity focused all of her energy in ignoring the shouts into her ear. Then she tried picturing Rei without a mouth, running round like a chicken. This brought a happy smile to her lips. "Odango!" Serenity looked at the Senshi of Fire in her Super Sailor Mars uniform. "What are you smiling at!"

"I was imagining you without a mouth," she answered truthfully with a smirk. Rei stood there open-mouthed. The other Senshi tried to hide their smiles. Except for Minako and Chibiusa. They found it hilarious.

"Okay, guys, we need to get to business," Ami tried, getting a little annoyed that the meeting on her planet was being delayed. Everyone ignored her and continued laughing.

"Mommy said, SILENCE!" Pallas said, enforcing her mother's words. She was also blue-haired, like her mother, but her hair was lighter, and ornately designed. She had one small bun on the very top of her head, and sticks of hair with balls at the end coming out of the center bun. She was wearing her Senshi uniform, which was around the same color as her hair.

"Ooh, Pallas finally grew a pair!" Juno joked. Her hair was forest green and had a huge ponytail on the top of her head, with two long sticks of hair coming out on both sides of her head. She was wearing a green Senshi uniform.

"Yeah, good for you!" Vesta said. She had just one ponytail of red on top of her head that tilted to the right. She was wearing her Senshi uniform of red.

"Mommy, they're picking on me!" Pallas whined to her mother, who smiled gently.

"Looks like she's not so brave after all," Ceres observed, smiling. She had pink hair that looked almost like a bow in the back with the bottom part done like Juno's. Her uniform was pink.

"Guys!" Chibiusa scolded, wearing her Super Sailor Chibi Moon uniform. "Can we please start the meeting now?"

Minako smirked. "Glad to see Usagi's old habits didn't rub off on you, Chibiusa!" she said, flipping her long blonde hair with a wink to her daughter, Ceres. Minako was wearing her Super Sailor Venus Senshi uniform.

"And what habits would that be, Venus?" Serenity asked threateningly.

"CAN WE PLEASE BEGIN!" Mercury called to the crowd of girls. They all settled down and listened intently, finally.


When Chibiusa and Queen Serenity returned to Crystal Tokyo, they found Endymion and Helios challenging each other at archery. Endymion currently had his bow drawn and was concentrating on hitting the bull's eye. "ENDYMION! We're back!" Serenity called out to him. He winced and ended up almost shooting one of the gardeners, who glared back at the king. Endymion turned around to see his wife running across the field and hugging him tightly. "Sorry I screwed up your shot," she whispered in his ear.

"Eh, it's ok. Just make sure you screw up Helios's next one too," he whispered before kissing her. "How was the meeting?" he said at regular volume.

Serenity rolled her eyes. "Boring as always. Rei yelled at me!" she whined. Endymion grinned down at her and kissed her forehead.

"All good with your Senshi as well, Small Lady?" he asked his daughter.

She broke away from her embrace with Helios and smiled at him, "Yep, just like the regular Senshi. Infighting." They all laughed.


After about an hour of archery and laughing, Chibiusa and Helios ran off together. Endymion watched them leave with something in his eyes. "Endy, sweetie, what are you hiding from me?" Serenity asked sweetly as they both sat down in their office.

"Nothing, dearest, nothing at all," he answered stiffly, looking over papers on his desk.

Serenity wasn't fooled. "Liar. Tell me!" she pleaded as she took her seat at her own desk.

"I'm sorry, Sere. I promised I wouldn't," he explained.

"Aha! So there is a secret!" she said triumphantly. Then her attention was drawn to a paper on her desk. "Why would Motoki put in a formal request for extra funds instead of asking us personally?"

Endymion looked at her sympathetically. "Maybe because we're the king and queen. We haven't talked to him a lot recently, actually ever since we came to power," he said, thinking hard about it.

"But it sucks!" Serenity said, and then blushed, "Sorry, I meant to say that it seems unfair that even though we were the best of friends for five years, and you longer than that, we still have no contact with him!"

"You don't have to apologize. I knew you before you got all mature, remember?" he grinned. She smiled weakly back. "Why don't we ask him over for dinner some night? He could bring Reika and we'd get to see both of them again."

"That sounds great! Thanks, Mamo-chan!" she said, before continuing to work again. Then the alarm clock on her desk went off. In frenzy, she looked at the time. They had been doing this for three hours! "Endymion! We have to go attend court!" she said, already getting to her feet.

"Oh, crap!" he said and she grinned at his slip. Then he grabbed her hand and they were running through the halls, trying to make it to the throne room on time. They were also laughing, because not very often did they get to act like this. The maids and other palace workers were glad to see that the entire royal family was in good spirits. The king and queen skidded to a stop in front of the throne room doors. They adjusted themselves to make it look like they weren't in a rush and then entered.

The floor was silver, and the walls were decorated with tapestries depicting the greatest battles of their lifetimes. At one end of the room, there were four thrones. Two high ones, for the king and queen, and a smaller one on either side of those two. Chibiusa and Helios sat in the two smaller thrones. Endymion and Serenity glided towards their own thrones and gracefully sat down. "Mother! You're late!" Chibiusa said, shaking her head in disappointment.

Neo-Queen Serenity perfected her posture in said in a regal tone, "A queen is never late, Small Lady. She arrives precisely when she intends to." Then, to the guards at the doors. "Let them in." As soon as the guards opened the doors, tons of people poured in. They were all here for one favor or another. Their home was flooded, their daughter was sick; they wanted the king and queen's permission to build a new house. They were all here, and the king and queen, and sometimes the princess would have to answer their questions somehow.


Another few hours later, the many citizens of Crystal Tokyo finally left. As soon as the doors closed, the queen slumped down in her chair. "Whew!" Serenity made a dramatic act of wiping her brow. "You'd think the people could solve her own problems."

Endymion raised his eyebrow at her. "Are you forgetting the reason you rose power, dearest?"

Serenity rolled her eyes. "I know! I was being sarcastic!" she said defiantly. Then she got up, her family and Helios following her. They all walked out of the room. Serenity and Endymion and Chibiusa and Helios arm in arm.

Helios leaned over to ask Small Lady, "Why did Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion rise to power?"

Small Lady scrunched up her nose. "I don't really know."

"Small Lady, have you been shirking your studies?" Endymion asked, looking down at his daughter. Queen Serenity looked at Chibiusa too.

"No, no!" Chibiusa answered, ginning and waving her hands in front of her. "I just-I just, um…" she trailed off, looking at Helios, begging for help.

"Why don't you tell me Your Majesties?" Helios suggested, receiving a grateful smile from his love. The King and Queen turned around to look at them.

"Well, evil was rising yet again, and we had no choice," Serenity said, eyes glistening from the memories. Endymion slid his large hand over her slender one.

"So, Neo-Queen Serenity came to power and banished the evil, the Negamoon family, and then we came to know a semblance of peace for about two years," Endymion explained further.

"Ah, peace. And then of course, Small Lady came to us," Serenity said very softly, and glanced at her husband for a moment and then continued. "When the Negamoon family came back, we sent her to the past for Sailor Moon to protect."

"And Tuxedo Kamen!" Endymion interrupted indignantly. Serenity rolled her eyes.

"I know the rest now!" Small Lady said grinning. "Then after we defeated Rubeus in the past, we came to the future and I defeated the rest of them."

Serenity stared incredulously at her daughter. "I do believe you are forgetting a few key facts, such as you turning evil and your father and I turning you back. And then Sailor Moon had a large part in defeating the rest of the family. Honestly, Small Lady! I don't know where you got this lying from!"

"Oh yes, where could she have gotten that from?" Endymion said sarcastically.

"Aha! You're probably right," Serenity said triumphantly. Endymion smiled at her for admitting it. "I bet it was Rei! You know, I always said she was a horrible influence on Chibiusa. All that anger just boiling up all the time." Serenity would've continued to rant, but Endymion silenced her with a kiss. She smiled dazedly back at him. "What was that for?"

Endymion smiled back, but a sly smile. "For being you," he said and she beamed. Then he added, "Odango Atama."

"WHAT WAS THAT!"

The Queen's screech was heard all throughout the palace, immediately followed by cursing in the ancient Lunarian language. Many of the servants were privileged enough to see the Queen chasing King Endymion, who was always at least three meters ahead of her.
