Disclamier: I don't own Sailormoon and I'm glad I don't.

In the past when the pair were crowned…

Everybody was here to celebrate the new monarchs. There were sounds of the trumpets and yells of excited young children. Many people craned their necks to take a glimpse of the magnificent couple dressed in the most elegant way.

Serena and Darien walked up the golden stairway, hand in hand. Serena gave Darien a squeeze on his hand and whispered that she was glad to be queen, she joked that she was almost embarrassed as so many were watching. Darien replied with one of his friendly smiles and reassured her that it would be excellent and reminded her that she was the eternal light.

As the pair took each step they realized that the next phase of their life was nearer. Serena breathed a sigh of pure happiness and innocence. She lifted her crystal dress to take the final step to the throne.

'We shall now have silence,' Helios's voice came through loud and clear. Everybody fell silent. Helios raised a golden tiara encrusted with gemstones.

'We have Neo Queen Serenity here. She will guide us, wisely. She will calm all the rough oceans and still the great earthquakes. She will… make sure that there will always be peace.' Helios's voice trailed off.

Helios lowered the tiara on Serena's head and as soon as the tiara touched her blonde hair a blinding light was emitted. She began to sprout white wings and her dress was replaced with a slimmer and longer one. There was awe in the crowd.

Helios then raised a crown. It was made in a similar fashion to the tiara with identical gemstones only it was a crown.

'We have King Endimion here. He will support us in troubled times. He will lift the cane of justice and will see that there is tranquility in all's hearts.'

Helios placed the crown on Darien's ebony hair. He too emitted a white light and his clothes were substituted for a similar outfit that was of a white colour. He looked majestic and many noticed the change of aura. His aura was now stronger and commanding.

'Long live the king and queen of the future,' Helios announced. 'Long live the king and queen,' the crowd echoed.

In the present of the mid third century…

Neo queen Serenity looked at the bank receipt, for the sum of money.

'Hmph,' Neo queen Serenity snorted.

There was a huge sum of money written on the receipt but for Neo queen Serenity, there wasn't enough. There easily could've ten times as much but she always spent it on expensive jewellery, beautiful dresses and luxurious furniture. She stomped to back to the castle.

'Raise the tax another ten percent!' She demanded.

The generals were in distraught.

'Ah… We can't do that,' the generals were sweating as they stuttered the words.

In the last few years she had been raising the taxes to a level that no one come afford to live well.

'And why not?' Neo queen Serenity asked. She lifted herself out of the throne and went closer to the generals.

'If you don't…' she began

'I…I know,' the one of the generals interrupted.

They knew exactly what had happened to the last generation of generals for disobeying her. They scuttled out of the room as soon as she had finished for fear of what she might do to them.

When Neo queen Serenity was in her bedroom…

King Endimion entered the room.

'Hello honey,' Darien placed his cane down to give Neo queen Serenity a peck on the cheek.

'Yeah whatever,' Neo queen Serenity mumbled back. She laid down on the bed twice the size of king size. Then she bent forward so a large portion of breast was visible to him. She did that so he would not give her the righteous piece of talk he usually did.

He took off his coat and placed it on a chair. He sat opposite her and looked her straight in the eye.

'Oh great,' Neo queen Serenity thought 'it didn't work.'

'I heard you raised the taxes again,' King Endimion told her gravely 'You know that people will start rebelling soon.'

'If they do I can take care of them easily,' she sneered.

'That's not the point, love,' King Endimion whispered softly.

Neo queen Serenity didn't care about the people, least of all King Endimion because he would always back the sailors up. She leaned forward.

'Is it that you want to make love with me?' Neo queen Serenity gave King Endimion a smile dripping with rich honey but Darien didn't fall for it. He turned his head away.

'If you continue like this, even I won't be able to help you,' he stood up and a tear rolled down his cheek, hidden from Neo queen Serenity's view.

'I'll be sleeping in the guest's room tonight,' he called out.

Neo queen Serenity didn't really hear him as she was too busy applying makeup.

The next morning…

The inner sailor scouts were lined up including Uranus and Neptune. They were on their knees and were waiting for Neo queen Serenity to come of the dressing room. She loved to choose an outfit for visitors but it took at least an hour before she would come out.

When she came out she was wearing a black camisole with nightmarish boots. The scouts gasped in surprise.

'I thought I'd wear something different as it's been so long since we've all come together,' Neo queen Serenity told them.

She hadn't even noticed that Pluto was not there was her attention was demanded to adjusting the outfit.

'So what is it you little ones want?' she asked.

Mars was the first to respond.

'We've…We've come to tell you that we are resigning from out job as scouts,' she choked out. She closed her eyes expecting the worst.

Neo queen Serenity was angered, so was so angry that she didn't even bother to stand up and slap her on the face as she frequently did.

'Oh? Why is that?' Neo queen Serenity asked so darkly it seemed poison was trickling out of her mouth.

Uranus then backed up Mars 'It's because of all the strain you've been putting on us. Everybody seems to want to kill us. I just had two murder attempts on me today.'

Neo queen Serenity was quiet but extremely annoyed.

'So the scouts decide to leave their master? What a cliché ending,' she chuckled evilly. You may all leave.'

The scouts forwarded out in relief. They never thought Neo queen Serenity would ever let them go.

'Don't worry about announcing it, I'll take care of it,' she called out.

The next day…

Neo queen Serenity awoke and her sanity was beginning to slip away.

'To begin the day, I'll buy a few pieces of furniture,' she dressed her self in expensive furs and got started for the day.

She called her carriage and went to the museum that held relics of the past evil beings. As she stepped out of the carriage there were whisperings around her and was irritated. She held out her enormous fan and began to create a large wind that froze everyone where they stood.

'Serves those annoyances right,' she went inside and her eyes were immediately set on a beautiful mirror.

She went closer to it and a face appeared. It was only visible to her. She walked right through the glass that held the object and she stroked it. With every stroke more of the evil power was transferred to her.

'Your beauty is incomparable,' the mirror smirked to Neo queen Serenity.

Neo queen Serenity slightly blushed. She hugged the mirror and asked whether she could gain power and beauty from it.

'If that is your only request I have of course do it. However, there is something I want you to do for me. I'll tell you soon enough if you agree,'

Neo queen Serenity agreed, she thought only of power and beauty and not of what it would say.
