Author's Note: Hihi! :) I updated pretty quickly, right? Trying to make my loyal readers happy! I really like this chapter, as I feel it is about time Selene got the lime light. I tried adding more to this chapter, so let me know if you guys think this length is good enough; tried adding more detail, but not too much to bore you guys. In English, we're reading The Once And Future King. Let me just tell you, THAT BOOK IS SO DAMN LONG AND COMPLICATING. I think i'm going insane with the amount of conflicts that are going on the book! Anyways, without further adieu, here is the next chap!
DelSan 13: Teehee, guess you'll find out now!
SailorTala: Hmm, would you believe Endymion if he told you, you transformed into a God? (x
Disclaimer: No. Hindi. Nein. Den. Nai. Aniyo. Lo. Tidak, I do not Sailor Moon! (Hey look guys, I just said "NO" in eight differen't languages. :'D)
(Silver Millennium Dimension-Location, Unknown)
Centuries ago, when the knowledge of Gods were common to mortals, lived a certain Goddess. Her name was Selene. She was born of Titan Gods Hyperion and Theia; along with her brother, Helios, and her sister, Eos. Each child of Hyperion and Theia were granted the duty of time and controlled when the sun, moon, and dawn were to set and rise. Selene was granted a Goddess of the Moon, Helios was granted as God of the Sun, and Eos as Goddess of the Dawn. Although, only Helios and Selene received crystals of their planets, the Silver Crystal of the Moon and the Golden Crystal of the Sun. Each sibling lived happily for that time period, taking great responsibility of their duty and making sure the planets received night, day, and dawn.
One day, when going to the planet of Earth, to turn it's time to night, Selene decided to explore Earth. As she always thought of Earth had such grace and beauty, compared to her lonely planet. While venturing throughout Earth and it's parts, Selene came across it's Goddess, Gaia. TAfter much greeting and conversation, Selene began to form a close friendship with the Goddess of Earth. Though Gaia was much older than Selene, they bonded instantly, sharing their love of life and all great things about it. In return for Selene's great friendship, the goddess of Earth promised Selene her first born child, Endymion. The Gods of Earth are said to have extreme beauty along with caring hearts. Within time, Selene fell in love with Endymion, as did he. As a result of their great love, they bore fifty children.
As the centuries passed, Eos grew jealous of Selene. For she saw that Selene's grace and beautiful nature was greater than her's. She felt that the Dawn of the day did not receive enough praise as the Night of the sky provided by the moon. A seed of hatred was planted in Eos' heart, feeling bitter towards Hyperion and Theia for not giving her a planet, as they gave one to her other siblings. Though, Eos did not realize that people worshiped the Dawn time of day too. Blaming most of her fate on her sister, Selene, she decided that she deserved the Moon instead.
Eos began to plot against her sister. She traveled to the other seven planets of the solar system, and brain washed the Gods and Goddess of those planets into believing that one day Selene would overthrow them and take over the Silver Millennium with her great power of the Silver Crystal. Eos even brainwashed and seduced Selene's lover, Endymion, just to show her the great power that she now held. Because of all her actions, this led to the great Olympian War. Selene, along with her brother, Helios, fought back valiantly but were out numbered. In the end, Helios died trying saving Selene.
Feeling grief-stricken, heartbroken, and weak, Selene used her greatest weapon, the Silver Crystal. She called upon it's powers to destroy the Universe in hopes that when it would be born again, everything would be at peace and evil would be no more. When she wished with her heart to the Silver Crystal, she wished for the universe's happiness, in place of her own.
Granting her wish, Eos was destroyed along with the entire universe. Seeing Selene's good-hearted nature, the Silver Crystal also granted Selene and every God and Goddess that was brainwashed eternal life and the chance to be reborn again as mortals; only to be awaken if the peace of the universe was ever at stake.

"Endymion, are you out of your mind?" Serenity laughed after hearing his explanation. Clearly, he was going insane! She didn't exactly remember what happened, but before she knew it she lost consciousness. All she could remember was looking at the Blue Moon that started to appear, and then before she knew it, lights out! Now, she found herself under the body of Endymion, in quite a heated situation. Although she didn't admit it, she kinda liked it. Not to say she enjoyed it, but feeling his arms around felt kind of.. warming. And when she stared into his eyes, it felt like they were the same person for a second. But she would be damned in hell before she told anyone this, even Mina.
"Serenity, I swear I am being completely honest with you." Endymion said, staring straight into her eyes with firmness.
Oh, I swear, if he stares into my eyes like that I think I might go crazy.
Serenity shook her head at the thought of thinking he was actually sexy! She thought maybe she was going crazy, "it doesn't make any sense! First you tell me rays of light came shooting down from the moon, I started flying, and then I... became a God? That's crazy talk, Endymion." Serenity laughed again.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me." Endymion huffed, "You're the one who needs to think straight. Why would I make something up like this? To make fun of you? To laugh at you? Honestly, I have better things to do that!"
"Like what, swoon all the girls at school with your "charming good looks" and "academic brains"? Yeah, that's probably all you do in life."
"Serenity, you're impossible! Use your head for once," Endymion shouted in frustration, he was actually being honest for once!
"Oh, and i'm the one who doesn't use their head..." Serenity whispered under her breath.
"What did you just say?"
"Oh, no. No, nothing at all."
"Why wont believe me?"
"I refuse to. What you're telling me sounds like it came out of a story book."
"But I'm telling the truth, from the bottom of my heart." Endymion put his hand on his chest for further effect.
"Wonder how deep that is, since you probably don't even have one." Serenity smirked.
"Why you!"
Meanwhile, the couple was too busy bickering to notice six pairs of eyes watching them in amusement from behind a bush.
"See, what did I tell you? I knew they were sneaking off together, how romantic!" Mina exclaimed.
"Mina, does that look like them being romantic to you?" Lita smirked. Obviously none of them saw the heated exchange between Endymion and Serenity only a few minutes ago.
"It's like those two just feel the need to argue whenever they see each other, jeez." Nephrite shook his head.
"I think Endymion just doesn't have the balls to confess he wants Serenity in bed." Zoisite laughed.
"Zoisite!" Amy blushed at his sexual comment, always feeling awkward whenever it came to stuff like that. "Should we go stop them?" Amy said in worry.
"Nah, we'll let them have their fun. Besides, it's kind of amusing to see them bicker!" Kunzite nodded his head in agreement.
"I just don't get it. Why do they have to be so stubborn?" Mina shook her head in disappointment. She was tired of all of this. She was tired of them always arguing over such stupid things when it was totally obvious that they head feelings for each other. It was obvious the first time she saw them interacting with each other, that the two had an instant bond. The way the both got equally frustrated with each other was so adorable. Although, it would probably take them forever to actually admit that. Mina made up her mind. She decided it would be her duty to help those two find love, like cupid! She already won over Kunzite with her smart whims and charms. This would be easy!
Mina nodded her head, "I have an idea, guys!"
"Oh boy, what is it now?" Lita frowned. In the time that she had gotten to know Mina, she had found that whenever Mina plotted something, it was no good. The plans always ended up badly.
"Sheesh, what a party pooper! Don't be so negative about it. It's simple, really" Mina pouted.
"Alright, whatcha got?" Nephrite said.
"Why don't we help those two out a little! You know what I mean, give them the push that is greatly needed. It's obvious they like each other, they're egos are just too big for them to realize it!" Mina said with pride.
"Babe, I know you mean well, but your plots never really end well, let's just say, the way you want them too," Kunzite said gently.
"What do you mean?" Mina stared at everyone with innocent eyes, not understanding what he was trying to say.
"They're saying your ideas usually end in disaster, having the opposite outcome then what you originally planned." Lita said with complete and utter bluntness.
"Well, I say it's a great idea." Zoisite chipped in, "those two both need a smacking on the head to see what is right in front of them."
"I agree, I believe if we do it right, those two will eventually end up together." Amy smiled knowingly, knowing the feeling of first love with Zoisite, and how she wanted Serena to know that too.
"See, these two agree with me. Come on, guys! Let's do it for the sake of our friends," Mina said over-confidently.
"We can hear you, you know!" Serenity shouted, having heard the sound of Mina's dramatic voice from behind the bushes. She and Endymion were look directly at a certain talking bush.
"Oh shit, our cover is blown!" Nephrite said, causing the whole group to laugh.
"Quick guys, let's make a run for it!" Lita said. The group ran away back to the main telescope.
"They're all idiots, I swear." Endymion shook his head.
"Tell me about it." Serenity agreed, rolling her eyes, "What were they even talking about?"
"I don't know, all I heard was Mina babbling about snakes and friends."
"My cousin has no friends, that she's referring to snake's now.." Serenity joked, causing Endymion to laugh.
Serenity started laughing too, both forgetting the heated argument they only moments ago.
"Come on, let's go back. They're probably thinking we're up to something I would rather not have them think," Endymion said over his shoulder as he turned around and headed back.
Serenity nodded, "Sounds good to me."
When the couple arrived back at the main telescope spot, they were surrounded in teasing eyes. Everyone was giving the 'don't look so innocent, we know you did something!' look. They both blushed in embarrassment, returning to their own sleeping bags, hoping to go back to the sanctuary of their dreams.
The night ended well, with Mina and Kunzite the last ones to fall asleep, as they stayed up to devise the first step of their plan; Operation: Serenity and Endymion!
Heh, i'm in a good mood. So that would probably explain Mina's cheery mood. I'm really sleepy right now, so please excuse the mistakes you come across. I'm literally dosing off at my desk. Ah, well, time for me to go wash up and go to bed. Goodnight! Don't forget, I love to hear my lovely readers' thoughts! Reviews are immensely appreciated. -Neela-chan
