Thank you for all the reviews I am glad that I am keeping your interest. Well with the wedding over let's see what happens next. On with chapter 14:
chapter 14: Punishments and Relationships
>>>>>>Elysian
Queen Serenity starred into the Pool of dreams, "What am I going to do with you two?" Rei and Ami were sitting in a wooded area together talking about escape. Usagi and Helios would be there shortly but it was her desicion about the two remaining senshi. Thanks to Neptune all the outers had been given a passing grade because the council agreed that Friendship means protecting your friends even at the expense of the friendship.
"Grandma, have you decided?"
"Not yet, Usagi. We are almost out of time and these two are not making it easy." Queen Serenity again looked into the pool. "I am thinking of erasing their memories and putting them in a different timeline."
"Magesty, what about putting them in the spots that they punish in their dreams."
"Helios, you will never cease to amaze me. That is perfect." Queen Serenity said weaving her magic.
>>>>>Boston
The morning after the wedding found the Royal couple snuggeled up in bed. Everyone with powers had gone home leaving the outers, sun children, Naru, Motoki, Shingo and the newly weds. It was still early morning when they were all shaken from their beds by an earthquake of magical porportion. Serenity nodded to Endymion as they tried to transform, in two flashes of light the only thing that changed were their clothes. Out of the balcony glass doors they saw the sun children and outers racing toward a giant titian looking monster.
After watching the battle from a distance and seeing several of the scouts take flight Serenity said, "We have to do something!" she began to concentrate and summoned on caused her wings to appear.
Endymion following suit looked within his heart and brought forth his own set of deep blue wings. "Let's fly! No pun intended."
Serenity laughed as the both raced to the balcony and took to the sky. It took seconds to get to the site of the attack and it was just in time because it was not going well. "Queen Septer Judgement!"
"King Royal Strike!" Endymion called out as he flew forward with a sword as he cut the monster in two. However not before Saturn went flying into a building and the twins were both thrown down the street. The monster finally turning to dust Sailor Sol raced to Saturn while Serenity and Endymion checked on everyone else.
Serenity smiled once everyone agreed that they were fine and said, "That was a tough monster. We are lucky you were able to weaken it enough for us to destroy it." The group smiled and started heading back to the hotel.
>>>>>>> Kyoto, Japan
In the gates to one of the old temples was a girl with a bob-cut complete with braces and glasses. Freckles dotted her face between the pimples that altered the path of her tears. The once beautiful Rei Hino was now a child of ten with everything wrong with her. "One day I will get you for this Serenity, whoever you return as."
Then in a wave of silver light the ten year old forgot about who she was cursing and became Sarah Firebird, age ten. All memories of Rei Hino lost as this girl would have to find her own beauty unlike that of who she was born with external beauty.
>>>>>> Osaka, Japan
Ami found herself wandering a new city where everything became bigger than her. She looked around some of the signs where in English but she couldn't read them. "What have you done to me now, Serenity?"
In a flash of silver light this ten year old forgot who Ami Mizuno was and became Lydia Mistraven. This girl even though was ten had the schooling level of a grade two, accourding to the schools she should be in grade five. An educationally challenged student that would need to work to get the grades that Ami Mizuno got with out a second thought.
>>>>>>Boston
Serenity flapped her wings and passed out, Endymion acting quickly caught his wife and flew her back to their room and put her on the bed. Shingo came in, "Are you guys ok? The others said that you couldn't transform."
"Shingo, I need you to get the others. Don't panic but I need to speak to them." Shingo nodded and ran off returning as quickly as possible with the seven scouts and two friends in tow.
"Endymion, what's wrong?" Travis asked.
"Serenity, passed out on the way back. I don't think that the attacks took that much energy." Endymion was getting frantic.
Two balls of light appeared near the balcony, "Is she alright?" Luna said running past into the bedroom.
"Artemis, where have you two been? And what side are you on?" Endymion demanded.
"We have been in the council chambers. Direct orders from Selene just before everything went down. We have been found innocent of any treason by the council and have since been returned to serve the royal court." Artemis explained while bowing as best he could in cat form.
"If Selene says you are on our side I will except that. Now someone find out what has happened to my wife!"
"Calm down, Endymion." Serenity said coming out of the room. "Luna and I figured it out." Pausing for breath as she was still weak from passing out and not eating yet that day. " I am pregnant."
It was now time for Endymion to pass out. The twins laughed and Naru ran to hug her best friend. "Well, lets order the buffet to be brought up for some breakfast." Everyone agreed (that were concious) to Solana's suggestion of food.
As the group sat down to wait for the food Endymion stirred from his place on the floor." You alright there, bro?"
Endymion just stared at Shingo then looked around noticing Serenity sitting there smiling at him, his mood lightened. As Travis went to get the door everyone got up and grabbed a plate and began eating.
Endymion turned to Serenity as she began piling the food into her mough, "So, your pregnant?"
"Yes, that is what happens when you and I do things that the rest of the group doesn't want to hear about," Serenity giggled as Endymion turned a nice shade of red.
>>>>>> On the waterfront
Hotaru starred out over the ocean as she walked hand in hand with Travis. She sighed and turned to him, "The sunset is beautiful."
"One day I will show you the solar gardens at this time, but even they are not as beautiful as you."
"Travis..." Hotaru paused she didn't want to hurt him but she wasn't sure if she was ready. " I know that we were betrolthed and I do care for you but I am not sure if I am ready for that type of relationship."
Travis stopped and turned Hotaru to look him in the eyes, "Hota-chan, I have waited a mellenia I can wait a little longer for you to be ready. I won't rush you but know that my feelings for you will only grow stronger with time."
Hotaru nodded glad that Travis was willing to wait for her. The two of them continued their walk, just talking and getting to know each other again. By the time they made their way back to the hotel even Hotaru couldn't deny the bond that was starting to form again between them. She even allowed him to kiss her cheek as they entered the hotel and went to join the others.
>>>>>> In Tokyo
Usagi stood before a group of five senshi and the amazon quartet. Looking over the senshi in training and the quartet Usagi shook her head according to the council this group would be in charge of Japans safety for the next year atleast. "Alright so here is how it is going to work. You will be paired off and unless you are a member of the Quartet or myself you will not engage an enemy by yourself."
Everyone groaned but nodded because if they disobeyed Usagi they knew that the Neo-Queen would hear of it. " What about us guys?" Alec Rhea asked his baby sister.
"You three are to stay back and act as back up. I don't want you any of you attacking alone." Everyone nodded so Usagi continued. "Kari and Ceres; Chryseis and Juno; Jade and Vesta; and Shizaka and Pallas. Alec, You are in charge of the guys and if need be you can attack by yourself but make sure that someone is on their way to help."
Alec turned to the group, " Dad, got us all apartment in the same building as his. Usagi, Chrysesis and Juno will share dad's. All three guys will be together and Kari, Ceres, Jade, Vesta, Shizaka and Palles will share the largest four bedroom apartment."
"Alright, every one follow Alec and I so we can get some sleep. Classes start tomorrow at Juban Junior High." The group headed home for some sleep.
>>>>>>
The rest of the day left the group at the private pool on the roof with Endymion protectively attatched to Serenity's hip. While Endymion was attatched to one side Luna was attatched to the other glad to have her mistress back safe and sound. As the sun slipped behind the horizon all was well with the Moon Princess and her court, atleast for now...

I hope this answered your questions and maybe even open some interesting doors. Let me know what you think. If I get enough reviews I will write a sequal about why Serenity needed to get pregnant,what is happening on the sun; what is going on in Japan, and we'll see what else I come up with.
