Here's another short chapter. It will tie more of the characters together, and reveal more of the history of the Moon Kingdom, although it will mainly be from times later than 174 BC, in truth. That's all I'll reveal about certain things before you read this chapter, though.

Until later, then, I'll close this. TUS out.

Inside Amy's Future Imperial Palace Chambers

Moon City, Moon Kingdom, Moon

August 7, 174 BC - August 8, 174 BC

Some length of time later, then, the Mercurian Princess Amy Anderson was in her future Imperial Palace chambers with at least one other future Moon Kingdom Princess, Queen, or cat, if not at least one of each. Most specifically, she was now with the Martian Princess Raye Hino and three once and future Moon Kingdom Queens. Those once and future Moon Kingdom Queens would be known, from the earliest time to the latest time, in terms of their times as Queens in it, as Queens Abigail II, Rebekah I, and Anne III. But when they each weren't yet Queens of the Moon Kingdom, they'd be known by three other names, of course. The future Queen Abigail II was in her normal non-Scout state of being near Amy as Princess Martina Calumet.

On one side of Amy, and facing the future Queen Abigail II, there sat in a chair the future Queen Rebekah I, who'd be Queen Abigail II's future daughter-in-law, but who was currently in her normal non-Scout state as Princess Andrea Edwards, a young girl who appeared to be about fourteen or so Terran years of age in her life. On the other side of Amy, then, there was the once and future Queen Anne III. And she'd later be the wife of the last King from the Moon Kingdom's House of Harmon, before their eldest daughter married the first King of the Moon Kingdom's House of Caranski.

That Moon Kingdom house was the one that Queen Serenity would be from in her life, and the one that she was already from in her life, even though she'd also been thrown back in time now, with so many others. Raye was now facing that future Queen of the Moon Kingdom, as she sat across from Amy and the future Queens Anne III and Rebekah I, while sitting to the right of the future Queen Abigail II. But the future Queen Anne III was currently in her normal non-Scout state as Princess Denise Munro, and she wasn't sitting too far away from any of the rest of the people in Amy's future Imperial Palace chambers.

Princess Amy soon asked her current companions that she wasn't familiar enough with, at the current time, about themselves, and from what period of time in the Moon Kingdom's history they each came from. Of course, she didn't have to do that for Raye. But she did have to do it for the rest of her current companions.

Princess Andrea Edwards said, "I'm Princess Andrea Edwards, and I'm from the very end of Queen Abigail II's reign in the Moon Kingdom. I'm from about 130 or so years from now, at the very least, I think. Maybe more, and maybe less. But at the current time, I'm not yet sure, for all the obvious reasons. And who are you with the hair that looks maybe a bit bluish at times here?"

"I'm Princess Amy Anderson. I'm from Mercury City, a long ways away from here, Princess Andrea."

"Where's that, Amy?"

"Not near here, I can tell you that for sure, Andrea."

"Could it be on Mercury, Amy?"

"What do you know of Mercury?"

"I see it sometimes in the lunar skies. When the Sun isn't too bright, and the Earth isn't, it seems that strange things can sometimes be seen either on its visible surface, or near it. Also, some people here on the Moon seem to think that there may be sentient life on other planets or moons in our solar system, Amy. I'm not sure if they're right, but at least some people seem to think that, at least in my time period. You don't seem to be anyone I've met before in my life, back in my time period, Amy."

"I'm not, Andrea. I'm from what you might consider a future time from your time period. And others now here in this time with us are from the same time period as I'm from in our Moon Kingdom's history."

"Like who, for instance?"

"Like Princess Raye Hino here, who's from Mars City, which is also quite far from here, I believe, Andrea." Amy introduced Raye to the rest of their companions, if she'd not already done so at all.

"I see," said Andrea. "And I suppose you two girls know each other quite well in your lives?"

"As a matter of fact, we do. And what's more, we're Sailor Scouts in our time period, Andrea."

"Is that so, Raye?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact, it is, Andrea," said Raye, after looking momentarily at Amy, for the obvious reasons.

"I'm a Scout too, Raye. I'm Sailor Cinnamon," commented Andrea, several seconds later.

Raye said, "We, as well as quite a few others, are Sailor Scouts back in the time period we come from."

"How many are in your group of Scouts?"

"Quite a few, if not at least a dozen or more, Andrea," answered Raye.

"You seem to be quite familiar with Queen Serenity," said Princess Denise Munro.

"Yes, we are, Princess Denise," stated Amy.

"I've noticed that she had what appeared to be at least a copy of Queen Eve's Imperium Silver Crystal, if she didn't actually have the real one, Amy."

"That's right, Princess Martina. She's from our time period in our Moon Kingdom's history. She's the Queen of the Moon Kingdom in our time period in it. And she leads the Sailor Scouts then as well. There are more Scouts than either Raye or I can think of at the moment around in our time period. But I don't know how long that'll continue to be the case back then. For we've encountered a very hostile force of beings not from our part of the known Universe. And they've given us at least a little trouble in the past. We don't know if we'll ever be able to hold them off for a long enough time to protect our Moon Kingdom and its inhabitants from harm caused by them. But back where we come from in our time period of the Moon Kingdom's history, we really hope that we can. They're very hostile, and they've been very hard to beat in battle whenever we've faced them before in our time period."

"I see," said Martina, who was also the Sailor Scout Jasmine. "Are these hostile beings often like monsters, by any chance at all, Amy?"

"As a matter of fact, they often are, I believe. Why do you ask?" asked Amy, a few seconds later.

"Because back in my time period, I've sometimes dreamed that people from our Moon Kingdom have found themselves in battle against very strange beings in their lives. You and Raye seem strangely familiar to me, as do a number of other people in our group of visiting royals and/or cats. I don't exactly know why. But I really hope that I can find out why, somehow, before any or all of us try at least once, if not more, to return to each of our respective time periods in our Moon Kingdom's own history."

"Who else seems at least a little familiar to you among us all, Martina?" asked Raye.

"Besides Queen Serenity, the others of us all who seem that to me, Princess Serena, Princess Mina, and Princess Lita do, at least, Raye," replied Martina, after she took a sip of some water in a tall glass.

The five Princesses talked with each other for a while longer, even after local midnight in the Moon City area of the Moon. But eventually, they all got bored to a sufficient enough degree with doing so, in Amy's future Imperial Palace chambers. So they all eventually left them for at least an hour, if not longer. They all went exploring nearby areas of the Imperial Palace's grounds as much as they could explore them with each other at the current time. And they all stayed quite close to each other as they all did so.

They all eventually came to the part of those grounds that'd later come to be known as the Hebron Garden on them, many long years into the future, like not long after Queen Serenity's own birth, perhaps. Certainly it'd not be called that until at least the time period of Queen Jolata's shared reign with her own husband, the future King David I, over the Moon Kingdom. That shared reign of King David I and Queen Jolata would occur from AD 50 to AD 67, after which King David I's younger brother Solomon and his wife Leah would rule for a time over the Moon Kingdom. At the very earliest, the garden would be first created by Queen Jolata, while she was still Queen of the Moon Kingdom. And at the latest, it'd be created during the reign of Queen Serenity over the Moon Kingdom, in any case at all.

They found several large stones there, and those stones were basically quite large, but not so large that they couldn't sit on top of them rather easily. At Martina's suggestion, they each soon climbed up or jumped up on top of one of those stones. The largest of the stones was about five feet in average diameter, and the smallest was about three feet in average diameter. When they were all sitting on top of the stones sufficiently well and sufficiently safely, Martina said, "This reminds me of an adventure I and several other Scouts from my time have had before. In my group of Scouts, who I'm also quite close to in my life whenever we're not acting as Scouts, there are six other Scouts. Besides me, of course. Three of them have black hair much like yours, at least as they wear it, Raye, while another has medium brown hair that falls to the middle of her back, a fifth Scout in my group has short blonde hair, and the last one in my group has mostly auburn hair with purple, silver, orange, and green streaks in it."

"Is that so, Martina?" asked Raye.

"Yes, it is. They all have hair like I've just told you about here. And we've practically known each other for most of our lives, if not all of them, Raye."

"I see. And who are these girls?"

"Sailors Bluebird, Bonsai, Celeste, Sparrow, Windchaser, and Zebra, Raye, is who they are. At least when we're being Scouts, of course."

"Have you seen any of them here since we all got here with so many others, Martina?"

"No, I haven't. But, of course, that doesn't mean that any or all of them aren't here. They could be here, and we might not yet know it, Raye. And if they are, they're probably near several of the other cats and people that have been brought here from various times in our Moon Kingdom's history," answered Martina.

The five girls or women soon enough afterward continued their current conversation past local midnight in the Moon City area, if they'd not already done so. And when they were tired of doing so, they eventually left Amy's chambers again, if they'd not been assigned to them as well. They did that so they could all get some sleep again, if they wanted or needed to sleep again for a long enough period of time. Of course, only Amy remained in the aforementioned chambers when their conversation with each other was over. Then, after everyone else left her Imperial Palace chambers, she soon retired to her bed again.

Next chapter will see older versions of three of Queen Serenity's children. Which three they are, you'll all just have to read on to find out, and they won't be from AD 987, either, in truth. So who are they going to be, and what will they be called, and what year or years will they be from?

I will reveal, however, that they all will be sisters of each other, whoever they are. Which three of Queen Serenity's daughters they are, you'll have to read on and find out.

Until the next chapter, then, I'll close this. TUS out.
