Chapter 1. New Nanny, New beginning

Long ago in a far off kingdom on Earth, lived a King and his Queen. They lived in a time of peace with all other planets and nations. The Royals had a beautiful baby girl with sugar spun hair of a salmon, and eyes of ruby. They were so happy until the Queen's mother fell ill and she needed to go tend to her. She said goodbye to her husband and daughter and went back to her childhood home to watch over her mother, the Queen of the Moon.

Five years later after the passing of the Queen of the Moon, the King's Queen never returned. The King was devastated. He had sent our search parties trying to find his love, his wife. He would pace the halls at night over the course of the first year waiting for her. During the second and third he started to lose hope but it was during the fourth year he knew something was wrong for the Moon Queen had passed away in the first year of her leave. She had written to tell him that she would have to stay a bit longer than she had planned so she could set someone up to represent the Moon while she went home to Earth. During the fifth year with no luck finding her he gave up. He felt a void in his heart, sighing as he told his daughter that her mother might not be alive. The girl denied it, shouting for him to get out of her room, throwing her toys and not letting anyone comfort her.

The Prince strolled down the main hall to the throne room running his hand through his short raven hair. Opening the double oak doors his deep navy eyes looked along the line of smiling women standing in front of the throne. Prince Endymion needed to get his daughter a nanny so he could get more work done then he had in the past five years. He walked over to his throne and sat down as his stewart announced his presence before announcing each woman to him. The King questioned the women asking them their name, age, and why they should be able to care for his child.

There were five women in total. Each were said to be the best of the best. The First woman bowed to him smiling brightly. Her hair was like a great flame that sat on her head before rushing down her shoulders. Her eyes were violet, hinting of something, not innocent.

" Your highness, I'm Beryl Stance, your grace. I'm 37 years of age\ and I just want to help you in your time of need." she said, smiling stepping back as the next women stepped forward.

" Your Majesty. Said the Brown haired lass, her emerald eyes sparkled with wanting. " I'm Ann Harnish. I'm 27 years of age, and I would love to work for royalty. She stepped back as a woman with dark green hair stepped forward.

" King Endymion,. " she said, her moss-colored eyes dancing around the room. " I'm Emerald Cross, age 32. I want to help a child without her mother." she stepped back allowing a Raven haired woman to step up smiling. Her eyes were like jade.

" Your Grace." she said. " I'm Nelena Trane. I'm 38, and I just wish to help you and your daughter after the loss you have suffered." She said letting the last woman walk forward. She was different from the rest. She looked old of age, wrinkled face, silver hair tumbling down to the bend in her knee since the hair was in a style called Odangos. ( two buns on top of the head with ponies coming out of them) She used a cane to help her walk since her back was hunched over but her eyes were beautiful.

She bowed her head to the King then turned to the picture in the corner of the room bowing to it since it was a picture of the royal family. Endymion smiled at this. She seemed very caring.

" King Endymion of Earth." she said. " My name is Serenity Usagi Chiba ." she said to him. " As for my age, even though I look 67 I am much younger." Endymion looked at her raising his brow Serenity was his wife's name, and how could she be younger than that? " I understand that you are skeptical, but I tell you no lie. For if I speak a lie, let the goddess Selena strike me dead."

Selena was the goddess that the Moon Kingdom worshiped. He grabbed his chin looking at the woman over his brow raising slightly. She must be from the Moon Kingdom then, it was the only way to explain.

" Your Grace, I would like to take care of Princess Small Lady Usagi Serenity, for I knew her mother." she said to him. " I worked for her in the palace of the Moon." She said as the other four women gasped, turning to face her.

" You did?" came a young girl's voice from the hall. The Princess ran into the room straight to her father. " Then if you worked for her, where is she now?"

" Small Lady, I do not know. I left after Queen Serenity your grandmother left to be with Selena." she said to the royals." I am sorry for your loss and I know you miss Neo Queen Serenity. It must be hard not having her here, but I pray to Selena every night for her to be in the living world." she said to them. Endymion smiled standing walking over to the woman.

" May I call you by your middle name," Endymion asked. " for I still have..." a lump came to his throat. It was too hard to say Serenity without crying. " Usagi," he said before she could answer. " You will start at once." the King said to the old woman. " I shall have your belongings brought to the palace at once. Your room will be right next to my daughter's so you can be close to her if she needs you." He said his daughter was standing next to him. " Chibi-usa, this is your new Nanny"

(A/N. : As you can see I have used the original Japanese names for the three main characters. For Usagi, I changed her last name from Tsukino to Chiba, Mamoru's last name for a reason. And Serenity was originally Usagi's middle name but for this I switched it.)
