Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon and I probably never will (for the last chapter as well).

Here's the second chapter. Thanks to confusedthoughts, my first reviewer. Thanks for the grammatical errors you found. Also if you guys find anything to be confusing (although some of the plot is SUPPOSED to be a mystery, but most of it you guys should be able to figure out) like what's going on, who is who, etc, then tell me in your reviews and I'll fix it ASAP. And on with the story…

Chapter 2

Princess Serenity looked around her, her hands shaking with anxiety. Everything was just as she remembered it to be. The ballroom was decorated with the same vibrant colors and the same delicious food was laid out for the guests. She had even worn the same dress as last time, the traditional white ball gown with gold trimmings and a string of pearls around her waist. It was her favorite dress. But unlike last time, she'd live another day to wear it.

Serenity had been tipping off the guards, telling them that the west and south gates needed more protection. She was not going to let Beryl and Metallia kill her family and friends again. Serenity had even gone as far as to take her mother's crystal so that when they did arrive they'd be in for a little surprise. She still remembered how to use the crystal after her battle with Beryl. It remained in her mind like it was yesterday. Serenity chuckled at her own joke, for it had been just yesterday that she had killed Beryl. She still felt some of the crystal's power flowing within her body.

There was still an hour to go before Beryl's attack and Serenity reasoned with getting some food to help her self calm down. Especially since the food was cooked by some of the best cooks in the universe. But Serenity couldn't help thinking that it wasn't better than Makoto's. As she was nibbling on a cookie, she saw another group of people coming over to congratulate her.

When they looked away for a split second, she made her dash to her senshi, hoping to hide amongst them. That wouldn't be too hard because they were also dressed like her, each with their own unique version of Serenities dress.

Amy's was a light blue, the shade of icicles, and it had long sleeves that were puffed at the ends. Her dress was also glimmering like it was an icicle. Raye's dress was a fiery red with two slits on either side of her dress. Her dress was adorned with blood red rubies. Makoto's dress was a light pink with green emeralds. Her dress also had a big green bow on the back. But Minako's was far more extravagant than all the other's. Her dress was spun from gold with the white pearls shaped in little hearts all over the bottom of the dress. She was also wearing a pearl earrings and a pearl choker. Her hair was braided and in her braid were lilacs.

But this was Serenity's day for she was turning sixteen. She quickly glanced at the clock and noted that there were forty five more minutes left. But before she returned her glance, she saw a handsome tuxedo clad man amongst the crowd. That could only be the one and only Endymion. With a sly grin on her face, the made her way towards him.

"Looking for me?" She asked. Endymion spit out his drink and pivoted around to see his one and only princess. She was grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Maybe," was his cool reply before he turned back around.

Serenity pouted slightly but only before she came up with a brilliant plan.

"Well, I guess I'll just have to go dance with another dashing man in a tuxedo. And who knows? Maybe we'll end up engaged!" she exclaimed before slowly turning around. She could only imagine the look on his face.

Before she could walk away, Endy (or so she liked to call him) grabbed her hand and twirled her back so that her other hand was clamped in his. And then they began to dance.

Serenity gave him a questioning look but made no objection to his decision. Song after song they waltzed and soon she began to wonder if he had even heard her. At the end of their fifth dance, Endy leaned forward and whispered,

"Don't even joke about that."

Then he calmly made his way to the buffet. She grinned as he walked away. She was so lucky to have him. Taking another glance at the clock, she noticed that there was five minutes until Beryl would arrive. Serenity hurried over to the balcony and saw a white, almost gray, star glowing directly west of the palace. To an ordinary Lunarian, they would have just thought it to be a star but Serenity knew that it Beryl and Metallia, slowly making their way to their palace.

Serenity once again hurried back into the ball room and ushered as many people as she could away from the west wall and towards the buffet. Once everyone was gone, Serenity stood a few yards away so that she wouldn't get hurt by any flying debris.

Before long she heard screaming from outside and a few guards came inside.

"Beryl and Metallia are upon us! Take cover!" they yelled before running back outside to help the other guards. The senshi were also making their way outside. Queen Serenity was hurrying to some other room, most likely the scared room where they kept the crystal. Endymion was quickly making his way over to her.

"I'm fine. Please, go help the civilians," she pleaded before she pushed him away.

At the next instant Beryl burst through the west wall, while the senshi and guards were attacking her from all sides. Serenity was going to let the senshi weaken her and then use the crystal to defeat her, but just seeing Beryl made her blood boil and she couldn't contain herself any longer. She called on her crystal and then Metallia also made her entrance but she came from the south wall.

Serenity called on all her power, the power of her senshi, the power of her fellow Lunarians and finally Endymion. She could feel all their power channeling into the crystal and when she felt that she had enough power, she let it all out.

A blinding white light poured all around her and the ball room. Serenity could hear Beryl and Metallia's death cries and when she was sure they were dead, she slowly decreased her power until it was all gone. She looked around to make sure that Beryl and Metallia were nowhere in sight. When she was sure, Serenity allowed herself to faint.

Well, there it is. Hopefully you guys should understand what has happened. If you don't I'll tell you in the next chapter. ; ). Might take me awhile to get the next chapter out but hopefully my muse will be in a good mood. Until the next chapter! (REVIEW!)
