Sailor Moon

Chosen

By: Coly456

The next morning came to quick in the princesses opinion. Mina and the other Senshi woke her, dressed her in the most boring simple dress she owned and were soon leading her to the breakfast hall.

"I do believe your mother has arrived." Ami said with a smile "she should meet us in the hall."

Serenity smiled back nodding once.

"Ladies." The prince and his generals seemed to have appear from no where, Endymion easily taking the princesses hand and placing it on his arm making her blush.

"Good morning, sleep well?" He asked her in a whisper as if the conversation was private.

"As well as to be expected." Serenity sighed staring ahead of her as the walked.

"Well, I spoke with your mother, tomorrow morning we will be headed off with her to the Moon." Endymion whispered "for a honeymoon."

Serenity looked up at him and smiled happily "really? But I've barely been here?"

"Yes, true but I figured I've showed you enough for now and I would like to see some of your home as well, since after tonight it'll be my second home."

"Wait you said you spoke with my mother?"

"Yes, she arrived early this morning with her senshi and Luna and Artemis. She should be in the dining hall."

At this Serenity let go of his arm and took off quickly towards the hall. Even though Ami had said she thought she was here now she was certain.

"Serenity! That is not very Princess like!" Rei yelled and she heard the generals laugh and then the running feet behind her.

"Race ya!" She heard beside her glancing she saw Endymion and smiled gathering her dress better before they were racing down the halls the general's and Senshi yelling at them from behind.

Queen Serenity, the Senshi of Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Pluto, as well as the two cats and The Queen of earth were all startled at the sudden loud entrance of the earth king, his betrothed and their courts.

"My what has gotten into all of you!" Luna was the first to speak as the moon princess ran into her mother's arms.

"Oh Serenity, I've missed you as well."

Endymion and the generals all seemed frozen as they stared at the Moon queen. The air around then felt so peaceful and calm. Serenity like her daughter wore the two buns atop her head her hair long and silver almost white, she bore the crescent mark on her forehead.

"My queen we tried to slow her down she's quick" Mina panted as they all bowed

"Like her mother then" Amara, the Senshi of Uranus laughed as her love Michelle slapped her arm.

"Honestly Amara show some respect."

Princess serenity pulled away from her mother and smiled "I'm happy you've come so early, and that you've agreed to me coming home so soon"

"Yes sit and we will discuss it."

They all sat around the table as breakfast was laid out. Serenity was seeing new food and loved all of them. She could tell Lita was just as fascinated.

"You and Endymion will come to the moon after the consummation is done tonight. All of your court is coming of course and you will leave quietly."

Serenity blushed at the mention of the consummation.

"Why so discreet?" Rei asked frowning

"People in the palace will obviously know you are all leaving, but we want to keep everyone outside the palace from knowing. Since Endymion is a new king and Serenity is of the moon, we do not want to stir up any issues about the marriage. Some of our people may disagree"

"I thought Earth wasn't a threat to Lunarians anymore." Lita frowned

Endymion sighed "not usually, however their are some older families who remember the lies other Kings and queens have spread, the fear lunarians as well as the other planets."

"But we would never harm the innocent." Serenity sad her eyes showing her confusion and concern.

Endymion took her hand "yes while we here know that they do not. Unlike most planets Earths people aren't usually born with gifts like me. The royal family's seem to be the last beings on earth that are blessed with gifts, so people have become scared and jealous of the all powerful people of the moon."

"Then it's settled when we come back I would like to travel outside the Castle, show then I mean no harm. That their King chose wisely with me."

Queen serenity smiled and nodded at her daughter showing her approval.

"It's time we start getting ready" Luna said from the doorway "your royal jewels and the gowns have arrived they are waiting in the princesses room"

"Yes Luna," queen serenity stood followed by everyone at the table.

Endymion kisses the princess hand as the generals and he went a separate way.

"I hope you ladies do not mind but I've never had a daughter I would like to join you all and get ready with you?" Queen Irene asked almost shyly.

"Of course, we wouldn't have it any other way." Queen serenity smiled looping her arm through the other queens as all the women walked down the hall.

"Your health is declining." Queen serenity said to her friend as they stayed behind the other girls.

"How could you tell?" Irene said calmly

"I can feel it, and your son seems concerned"

"Yes well Endy always did worry. The doctors have no cure soon I will be bed ridden I am sure."

The former earth queen didn't seem as though she was to concerned as though she had already excepted her fate.

"How long has this been going on?"

Sighing Irene looked up at the taller women "since after Endy was born, I started getting weak and sicker as he grew older, I believe it has something to do with our abilities. Almost as though he gets stronger and my strength leaves me."

"Does he know?"

"No. He believes it just started happening two or three years ago. That is how it must be I don't need him thinking he caused this."

The older queen nodded as they continued to walk finally reaching her daughters temporary room. The room was large but now seemed much smaller with all the women packed in.

"Now ladies tonight we will have fun, but please be on your best behavior," Queen serenity said as each girl started helping each other dress and prepare for the nights activities.

Princess Serenity stayed mostly quiet as her mother and Irene both brushed her hair helping her put the two buns in neatly.

Irene stepped away and came back with a wooden box with gold designs etched into the old wood. Open ding the box there placed inside red velvet was a crown almost all of crystal with gold holding it together. It was dainty but gorgeous enough for a queen.

"This was mine, and I believe almost every earth queens before me" lifting it from the velvet she placed it perfectly on serenity's head and smiled "I only wore it on special occasions, but it is beautiful."

"I promise to cherish it." Serenity never understood crowns she knew they showed royalty and rank depending on shape and design, on the moon they didn't have them, wanting everyone to seem equal or look it, the mark of the crescent moon in a way was their crown.

The rest of her jewelry was simple pearls on her wrist and in her ears, then of course an all white dress with layers of soft fabric. Pearls decorated the bodice of the dress her sleeves made of a strain of pearls draped beautifully on her upper arms not doing much of anything but adding decoration.

The dress like the crown was simple but elegant for a queen. The other girls all wore dresses of their planets colors, and simple tiaras on their heads showing that they to were not only powerful Senshi but also princesses in their own right.

"Oh Serenity you look beautiful" Mina smiled at her cousin.

"You all look lovely as well." Serenity whispered her nerves starting to come back.

After a small lunch which was brought to them there was a loud knock on the door.

"It's time your majesty's" a man said through the door.

As they walked to the ballroom where everything was being held serenity clung to her mother like a child. Using all her strength to keep her tears and shaking at bay. Endymion seemed to be a great man but she always thought she would get to know the man she wanted to marry.

Serenity gasped at how beautiful the ballroom was decorated white, and gold silk decorated the high ceiling with red and white roses creating a makeshift aisle leading the way to where the former earth queen was standing in front of the throne her son to her right, he was dressed in what looked to be armor, black with gold markings a sword at his side, a cape lined with red silk.

Endymion smiled at her sending her heart into over drive as her mother walked her down the aisle a soft violin playing serenity immediately knew it was Michelle, or Neptune.

"Who gives this women to this man to be Wed?" Suddenly serenity noticed they were standing in front on the former earth queen.

"I, Queen Serenity of the Moon Kingdom, give my Daughter Princess Serenity of the Moon kingdoms, to marry King Endymion of Earth."

Queen serenity kissed her daughters hand and forehead then handed both her hands over to Endymion.

"King Endymion do you accept this woman?"

"I, King Endymion of earth accept Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom" as he spoke his mother rapped a red ribbon around their hands and arms binding them together. Serenity was in a daze as her mother placed a gold cloak over her shoulders lined with the red silk Endymions gaurd replaced Endymions with the same cloak.

"With the eternal flame, we will seal the bond between these two people. Making them forever connected as one." Queen Irene turned and from behind her pulled a torch that was lit with a glowing blue fire.

Serenitys eyes widened as she saw the flame. Endymion squeezes her hands.

"It's quick. The pain won't last." Endymion whispered softly and soon the silk holding their hands was lit the fire spreading over the bond and their skin.

Though it burned as quick as it was lit it was gone leaving behind very faint scars that looked as thought they had been there longer then seconds.

"Now with the power invested in me Queen Mother of Earth, I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Slowly Endymion stepped closer giving serenity a small reassuring smile before leaning down and taking her lips with his.

The kiss was gentle and she knew she was a blushing mess after he had pulled away.

" I am proud to introduce your King and Queen of earth. King Endymion and Queen Serenity" an announcer said loudly to the crowd of people watching as they all cheered throwing flowers in the air.

Soon they were all dancing Serenity felt as though she was in a haze. Her mind stuck on what was to happen after the celebration was over.

"Let's go get some air?" Ami asked her as the rest of the girls guided her outside sitting down on the benches.

"Are you alright serenity?" Lita asked hading her a glass with water.

Sipping slowly she finally sighed "thinking of tonight is making me feel ill."

Rei sighed and moved closer putting a hand on the smaller girls back "it will be quick. Jadeite said they don't normally for the whole time and they aren't in the same room."

"It's best to just try and forget they are there." Mina frowned "you will be okay."

Serenity could tell they were all trying to help but it seemed like nothing was helping.

"My Queen." A male voice spoke from the entry way they looked up to see Malachite.

"Please Serenity will do." Serenity stood trying to force a smile "something wrong?"

"No, The king was worried and is looking for you. He's up by the throne"

Serenity nodded "Thank you, I'll be sure to go to him once I am done here."

Giving a nod he glanced at Mina then turned walking back inside.

"He likes you." Serenity giggled looking at Mina who was red in the face.

"No, we had a discussion earlier that started a bit of an argument."

"Oh do tell!" Rei smiled

"I am not allowed. Under order of the Planet council."

Mina was the leader of the Senshi, it was common practice that she attended the meetings with other planets Malachite must have been the earths member.

"You know we won't tell." Rei frowned crossing her arms.

"They plan to marry off the princesses one by one." Mina broke easily her fist clenching at her side.

"Apparently they want more attachments to earth. Us Senshi with the kings gaurd."

"What!" Rei and Lita exclaimed at the same time.

"Does my mother know about this?"

"Yes she agrees if only that it will keep you under our protection. Which you would only loose if we did marry and had to live elsewhere. But this way, we'll obviously we would always go where you and Endymion go."

"Have they decided?"

"When you and Endymion return your are to chose who is to marry who."

"No, I couldn't."

"Serenity. This is your job now. You got the hard part by the time we all have to go through with it we will have known the generals for longer then the two days you have known Endymion." Ami told her seriously.

Serenity stood staring between her friends then grabbed them all on a tight hug.

"Thank you, whatever would I do without you?" She whispered her voice cracking

"Don't start blubbering." Rei said "now you have a King to go see. Let's enjoy this celebration while it lasts."

Walking through the room filled with people two of her Senshi on each side to help her get to Endymion. He was sitting on the bigger chair but stood as she got

To him.

"I was worried when you disappeared." He nodded at her Senshi and she in turn nodded at them a sign saying they were no longer needed.

"I needed some air today has been." She paused thinking of a word "a lot."

Endymion smiled at his new queen tucking a piece of hair behind her ear "yes, I know the feeling. Would you like to sit?"

Serenity glanced at the two throne chairs and frowned.

"My father likes to show his power in many ways. He had his made bigger then my mothers. Don't worry when we arrive back that won't be the case. If anything you deserve the bigger one." Endymion explained tugging her arm so the she was sitting in the chair he once occupied.

"What makes you say that? We would each rule equally correct?" Her face scrunched in confusion Endymion has to admit to himself how cute she looked just then.

"Yes but by all means you are stronger then I am," he took a seat next to her watching his people dance.

"I over heard your mother talking to mine earlier, I did not realize she was so ill"

"She thinks I don't know it's because of me. My father let it slip once how I'm killing her just by aging." Endymion whispered his eyes never looking her way.

"I pray whatever children we have don't have my abilities and do not do the same to you." He looked at her then and Serenity felt her heart clench at the sorrow in his eyes.

"Oh Endy, I'm sure that's not the case. Some things just happen." She whispered taking his hand in hers a warmth immediately spreading through him.

Smiling at her briefly he turned and they both watched the crowd until the day slowly faded and the crowd started to clear. Serenity noticed that the room was soon only filled with the generals, her Senshi, their mothers then what looked to be what she assumed was the earth council. All of them older men.

"It must be time then." Endymion whispered squeezing her hand lightly as the both stood. Serenity found that her legs seemed to be wobbly as she almost stumbled down the steps had Endymion not wrapped her arm around his.

"You know where to go" his mother said and he nodded to her as they started to walk through the halls.

"Are they not following us?" Serenity whispered when she noticed no one was behind her.

"You take a different way to get to where they need to be" he sighed and she could tell he was tense "I'll do my best to make sure you won't be seen as much." He glanced her way and she blushed.

As he led her into a room she was surprised to see it was so small and plain.

"Is this our room?" She frowned

"No this is just where the royal family consummate their marriages."

She nodded and looked at the white bed covers then jumped when suddenly there were two women in the room.

"We are her to help you undress your majesty's" the bowed low.

Endymion nodded and soon her dress was being removed, their crowns placed in their boxes.

"I will handle the rest." Endymion said just before they removed her under dress. They nodded leaving quickly just after lighting the candles in the room.

Taking her hand he moved her towards the bed him standing in front of her her back towards the Wall where she noticed windows covered in a sheer curtain. Slowly he removed the pins from her hair letting her hair fall in waves down her back.

"I promise to be gentle." He whispered untying her thin under gown pulling it up and over her head, then being sure to take off his cotton pants he wore under his armor. They stood there a moment taking each other in. Serenity was sure she was turning pink and fought the feeling to cover her breasts with her arms.

Slowly he pulled her to him kissing her forehead cheeks then lips, one hand on the nape of her neck the other on the small of her back pressing her to him.

Before she knew what was happening he turned them her front completely shielded from on lookers because of his body.

Everything else seems to go in a blur.

"Are you okay?" Endymion whispered to her frowning as she seemed to inch away from him.

Ignoring the soreness in her lower body she slowly sat up grabbing her small gown before pulling it on.

"Y-yes." She felt the bed move and suddenly she was wrapped in a warm material and she looked to see it was a red and gold thick robe much to big for her. She saw Endymion pull the cotton pants on he had earlier and frowned

"This is yours," she whispered

"Yes but we must go to our room to change to head to the moon and I can't very well have my queen walking around in a night gown." He said softly helping her off the bed. She pulled away from him immediately and walked slightly behind him as they started to leave the room. The part of the castle he led her to she was shocked at hours decorated and beautiful it was. Portraits of past family royals hung on the walls that were lined with red and gold silk. Even the doors were etched in gold.

"The royal wing. It's always been this over the top" Endymion said as he opened the door for her. This room left her speechless the bed was huge red silk blankets and pillows, a canopy with sheer black curtains with gold design. A balcony with double doors made of glass. She could see the fountain in the garden.

"Your Senshi left you this dress here." He handed her one of her many white dresses this one was light and simply easy to just pull on over your head.

Serenity took off her robe sliding the dress on quickly. Endymion put on loose black pants his boots and a light blue cotton shirt.

"Your shoes." He kneeled down and slipped on two strappy sandals onto her feet.

"Thank you."

"Your mother said they would all meet us in the teleport room, and to not worry about dressing fancy we will be going straight to sleep." He said as he led her out.

Endymion noticed she still kept her distance from him. Walking into the telport room they were greeted by the generals, Senshi and their mothers.

"I will see you two when you return." Queen Irene Hugged Serenity kissing her forehead then hugged Endymion.

"Be good to her." She whispered before stepping away.

"We will be back soon." He smiled at his mother.

They all stepped onto the teleport

"See you soon, when they return you should take a nice vacation on the moon" Queen serenity said causing Irene to laugh and nod her head before they were engulfed in the light of the teleport.
