Meant To Be

Ch.2

Hey! It's meeeeee! Thank you to all of the people who reviewed. I LOVE YOU! Thank you to Crystal Saturn who gave me advice on my first chapter. I'm trying to change it, but I can't figure this stupid computer out! Thank you for the reviews everybody! Now on to my story!

I DO NOT own Sailor Moon in any way, shape, or form.

Last time on Meant To Be:

As she was bidding the gentlemen good-night Endymion closed the door and locked it keeping Demetrius out and said "I can tell you more about the war if you would like me too?"

Now on to the fic...

"Yes please, tell me more!"

Prince Endymion's face was calm as he replied. "The ruler of the Negaverse, Queen Beryl, is a corrupt person and will do away with anybody and anything that gets in her way. No offense to you or your Kingdom, Princess, but if the army of Earth is not able to stop her," Prince Endymion sighed, "then no army, not even the Moons army, will be able to stop her. She will eventually get what she wants."

"What does Queen Beryl want, Prince Endymion?" asked Princess Selenity.

Selenity was a little alarmed, but she kept it well hidden for she wanted Prince Endymion to keep talking to her about this.

"She wants to rule the entire Universe for eternity, and fill it with darkness and hate."

"So there is no way to stop her?" asked Princess Selenity.

"Yes, actually there is. It's called the Silver Crystal, though I have heard that the Silver Crystal is just a myth." At this Selenity made a little chuckle. "What is so funny Princess? Does the fate of the Universe amuse you?" was his sarcastic reply.

"No. It is just that I can't believe that you think that the Silver Crystal is just a myth," she replied.

"The Silver Crystal is real?"

"My Mother is the one who possesses the power to it."

" So that means that the Moon Kingdom is in more danger than I already thought it was!"

At this moment, Prince Endymion heard a knock at the door.

"Endymion, why did you lock me out?" It was Prince Demetrius. "What are you doing in there?"

Endymion had forgotten about his brother and was startled to hear his voice. Prince Endymion had completely forgotten that he was alone with his brother's fiancé, and behind a locked door. With one swift move, Endymion quickly opened the door.

Prince Demetrius was not amused, "What were you doing? Tell me!" he demanded.

"Demetruis, it is not what you think. Calm down. Please be rational." Endymion tried to calm his brother down.

"Rational? How can I be rational?" replied Demetruis.

"Demetruis, I can explain," replied Endymion with a furrowed brow.

Demetruis turned to Selenity. "Selenity, why don't you tell me? Explain!"

By this time, Selenity's lips were trembling with fear. "We, we, we were just talking."

"Just talking? Then why did you lock me out?" Without thinking, Prince Demetruis shoved Princess Selenity into the wall and knocked her unconscious.

Prince Endymion was startled at his brother's behavior. "What are you trying to prove pushing Princess Selenity against the wall? You're not a Prince, you're a jerk."

Prince Endymion gently picked up Selenity and carried her over to the bed, being careful to lay her gently on it. Even though Selenity was unconscious, she could feel his warmth and strength when he picked her up. In his arms she felt safe.

Prince Demetruis was ashamed of his behavior. "I'm sorry for not believing you Endymion. Okay?"

"I know you're sorry Demetruis, but I still can't understand why you pushed Selenity, your future wife and Queen, into the wall and knocked her unconscious. Do you treat all women this way?"

Then it hit Demetrius. He realized he had just knocked his fiancé unconscious. Selenity would probably hate him for the rest of his life. How could he do such a horrible thing? What kind of person had he become?

Realizing the look of dread and horror on Demetruis' face, Endymion tried to reassure his brother. "It's okay, Demetruis. I'm sure she'll forgive you. She has a kind and forgiving soul."

"How could I be so stupid?" replied Endymion. Looking upon his future wife and praying for her forgiveness, Demetrius said, "Selenity needs her rest. Let's leave so she can sleep."

No one heard Endymion's and Demetruis' conversation, for everyone was across the palace having a serious discussion that would change everyone's life.

"Yes, you called during dinner, Eric. This must be significant," said Queen Serenity.

Eric was the Queen's guard and advisor. He was well trusted wherever he went throughout the castle and kingdom. "Queen Serenity, Queen Beryl is slowly taking over Earth. We need to prepare for the worse, Your Highness."

"Yes, I agree. How strong are our defenses?" asked Queen Serenity.

"Pretty powerful, Your Highness, but nothing can compare to Beryl's army," replied Eric.

Queen Serenity was getting agitated and started pacing around the room.

"There's only one thing we can do, Your Highness," replied Eric. "Send our army to defend the kingdom."

"Eric, we need all the help we can get. In the meantime, be sure our army is well taken care of and well prepared."

"Your Majesty, what about your daughters?" inquired Eric.

"Keep an eye on them at all times," replied Queen Serenity. "They are not to leave the castle grounds. We must be strict and diligent about their safety. If anyone sees them outside the castle grounds, tell me, and I will deal with it." Queen Serenity's voice was stern.

"I'll tell our people your wishes. I'll get our army around and ready," and with that, Eric was off to make the needed preparations.

The night was still. Not any sound could be heard. Nobody slept soundly, especially Queen Serenity. She stayed awake wondering if she made the right decision for the kingdom's future was in her hands. Most importantly, would she still be respected by the people of the moon? What was to happen if the moon lost the war? In time the questions would be answered.

Queen Serenity made her way to the window and looked out. The sun was just above the horizon. Night had passed. It was time for her to begin her day as usual.

As the morning passed something was missing. The morning had gone by as usual except for one thing.

"Eric," Queen Serenity summoned him. "Please wake, Princess Selenity. It is well past noon."

"As you wish, Your Majesty." It took Eric just a few strides to reach Selenity's room across the hall. He knocked at her door a couple times, but there was no reply. He opened the door to wake her, but to his surprise Princess Selenity was not in her room.

"Queen Serenity!" yelled Eric as he ran back to the Queen. "Princess Serenity is not in her room!"

"What! Find her, and when you do, bring her here immediately!"

Princess Selenity heard her mother's conversation with Eric and became frantic.

"Eric," Princess Selenity replied coming from her balcony, "I'm right here."

"Princess, you gave your Mother and me a fright," replied Eric. Eric escorted Princess Selenity to her mother.

Princess Hecate, hearing the commotion went to her mother's side. Hecate always thought Princess Selenity was to good for her own taste, and wondered what it was that Princess Selenity had done to make her mother yell. Hecate was always jealous of Princess Selenity. Selenity didn't have to worry about being the next Queen to rule the moon. Hecate thought that Princess Selenity had it so easy.

As soon as Princess Selenity had entered the room, Queen Serenity started to interrogate her. "Where were you child? Don't ever go outside the palace grounds. That goes for you too, Hecate."

"Mother, maybe you should punish Selenity," advised Hecate.

"I was out on the balcony," stated Selenity. "I was painting a picture of the Earth. I didn't mean to scare you. Please forgive me."

The Queen thought for a moment. "Apology accepted my daughter, but be more careful! I understand that you didn't know about the rules, so this is a warning."

That afternoon, everyone was gathered for lunch. The table was lively with decorations and food. There was pleasant chatter and it seemed the royal court had forgotten about the imminent war. The King and Queen of Earth were talking to Queen Serenity, trying to learn about the moon as much as they could. Princess Selenity had forgiven Prince Demetruis about his wild behavior the night before. Endymion, Demetruis and Selenity had become very good friends. Whenever Hecate could, she would join the conversation or flirt with Endymion, although Princess Selenity could see that it got on his nerves. Hecate always needed to be the center of attention.

Everything was normal and proceeding as usual when they all heard a loud noise. BOOM! The whole castle shook.

"What just happened?" cried Queen Serenity.

So? What do you think? I need advise to tell you the truth. I have a great idea for another story, but I don't know if it would be easier to just stick with this story. I need advise! That would be very helpful! Thanks yall!
