Things to remember:

A) I own all characters who you have never heard only exceptions are Queen Serenity, Luna, Artemis, Beryl, Mamoru, Helios, the senshi and the shitennou

B) I do not own Sailor Moon, sadly. But that's okay. I'll live.

C) This is a work of FICTION. So because of this fact, anything I say goes. No complaining if something below does not make sense. I will be more than happy to explain my logic if you ask me.

D) Roughly 10 chapters

E) This is the first of my Sailor Moon fics, meaning that it will have sequels.

More relevant info to this chapter: In this chapter, we see Selene's coronation and wedding to Lun. Some parts of the coronation ceremony may seem complex and confusing, but I tried to make it as descriptive as possible without over doing it. If you are confused, think about all those times in Sailor Moon when the senshi offer their power to Sailor Moon, then use your imagination to go from there.

So sorry for the long wait! I've been busy. There is a chapter after this one, and I will also update at least three more times this week. The next few chapters will also vary in length because of what they contain.

Sincerely wishing you all well,
Kida-Asumi, the Captin of Sirius

The galaxy was practically humming with excitement as people gathered, on all of the planets, by large televisions and personal computers, to witness the coronation of their future leader. Almost all of the Princes and Princesses had married coronated. The only one who hadn't was Princess Serenity, who would marry the day after her coronation. Stella, her advisor, had informed the press that this was a decision to show that she was taking the reigns of the galaxy independently, and if her marriage failed, it would not impact her leadership.

The Princess was currently in her bedroom, pulling her hair up into its usual odangos. Today, however, the newly coronated Queen Aphrodite was also lightly curling the ends. With a tad bit of hair spray, Aphrodite pulled away from her best friend, a smug, self-satisfied smile crossing her face.

"Perfect. You look absolutely perfect, Selene." She said. Selene turned around in her chair to look at herself, smiling happily when she realized that Aphrodite was right. She looked wonderful in a simply white dress, with thick straps that fell to her shoulders and silver clips that connect the straps to the top of the dress.

"I look beautiful." She said aloud, making her best friend giggle happily.

"You do. Now come, my lady. You kingdom awaits." She winked, holding out a hand to Selene. She giggled in reply, giving her hand to the blond.

"Aphrodite?" Selene asked softly as she paused, the two about 3 feet away from the main hallway. The new Venian Queen paused as well, looking at her best friend's warm expression.

"Yes?" She asked, amusement in the simple question. Selene smiled and squeezed her hand.

"Thank you." The Moon heiress said. Aphrodite's expression softened and she returned Selene's gentle squeeze. No explanation for the expression of gratitude was needed, as the answer was something that was could not be put into words.

As the two continued on their walk towards Selene's coronation, Selene felt her anticipation grow with each step taken.

She had a good feeling about what was to come.

Silence fell over the galaxy as Neiva stepped in front of his throne. At the base of the steps stood the old court and the new court alike. They turned together when Selene and Diana appeared at the entrance of the coronation hall. Freya subtly joined Neiva. Selene and Diana walked over to them. Once there, Diana gently hugged her daughter and kissed her cheek.

'Good luck.' She mouthed silently. Selene nodded, smiling at her mother. She then stepped up to her father."Join hands, if you would." Freya requested. The two did so, sharing a warm smile. "For many centuries, this galaxy has been ruled by one man. Now the time has come for him to step down and let his daughter take over. We are all gathered here today to witness the passing of the royal crown, and with it, our allegiance to a single being." Freya paused, giving the people time to think of what she was saying. "King Lord Neiva of the Silver Millennium." She addressed the King. "I ask you if you are ready to pass on your claim to this galaxy and kingdom."

"I am." Neiva said, his tone sincere and earnest.

"Are you prepared to become a citizen under your daughter's rule, and to support her every decision?"

"Yes."

"Are you also prepared to aide her in times of war? To be her council or friend? To give up your planetary powers so that she may vanquish any evil?" Freya asked, her eyes shining with approval when he nodded once more.

"I am." He said, finality ringing in his acceptance. Freya then wordlessly turned to Selene.

"Princess Lady Serenity of the Silver Millennium. I ask if you are prepared to accept this new title of Queen. Are you prepared to make any sacrifice, no matter what, to save this kingdom and it's people?" She asked.

"I am." Selene said.

"Are you prepared to be fair and kind to everyone, and to make every decision with it's consequences in mind?"

"Yes."

"Are you prepared to carry the weight of the kingdom's fate on your shoulders? If it fails, the blame shall be on you, or if it soars, you shall enjoy it's aftereffects?"

"Yes."

"Are you willing to give up this mighty power one day to your child, as your father is doing for you?" Freya asked. Selene nodded, gripping her father's hands tightly.

"I am." Freya nodded once more.

"Then let us begin the ceremony. Neiva, please bring out your crystal." Freya requested. The King did so. "Serenity, you do the same." Once the princess did as instructed, Freya cupped the crystals together, but did not touch them.

"Oh great ladies Hinata and Carlada. I, Lady Freya, ask that you bless this transfer; that you accept Princess Serenity as our new Queen and allow Neiva a well deserved break. In the name of the moon, please bless this union." She said. Carefully, Freya pushed the crystals together until they were touching. Both let out a blinding flash of light.

When everyone could see once again, it was revealed that the Royals in the courts below were glowing with their planetary energy. On their foreheads glowed their symbols. Neiva and Selene's were doing the same.

"Members of Neiva's court, do you sanction this transfer?" Freya asked.

"Yes." They said together. Freya then turned to the other court.

"Members of Serenity's court, do you swear to protect your lady?" She asked them.

"We do." They promised. Freya bowed her head in acceptance, then turned back to the crystals.

"Silver Imperial crystal, I, Lady Freya, Priestess of Elysian, have shown you where you loyalty now lies. I ask that you obey." Freya said. Both crystals rose out of her hands and floated to the sky. They then began to glow and pulled the power of the other planets towards them. After a moment of silence, Selene's crystal out shined her father's and seemed to absorb some of it's light. Neiva's crystal returned the power to the old court, then returned to Neiva. Selene's continued to shine for a minute more before doing the same. A proud grin lit Freya's features as Selene's crystal returned to hovering above her hand. She stepped to Selene's side, a hand resting on her shoulder.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Silver Millennium, I proudly welcome you to a new era…ruled by Queen Lady Serenity!" She declared. The galaxy exploded into applause and cheers, making the new Queen blush and smile happily. Her father wrapped an arm around her waist as they were surrounded by the courts. Diana joined Neiva and together they stared at their daughter.

"I am so proud of you, Serenity. You shall be great." Neiva said softly, cupping her cheek. Tears shinned in her blue eyes and she nodded, bringing her hand up to grip his.

"Neiva, darling, I must steal her. She has a wedding to get ready for." Diana broke the tender moment. Her husband and daughter broke apart, nodding. With a tolerant smile, Diana wrapped an arm around Selene and lead her away from the buzzing crowd.

Diana smiled softly as she pulled Selene's long hair back into an elegant bun. Her little girl was getting her make up done by Aphrodite, and her nails done by Marina.

"I bet Lun is so handsome." Selene mused happily. As the new Queens agreed with her, Diana's grin became amused. She reached over for the can of hairspray, and after warning the other ladies, she sprayed it. Giving Selene's silver hair a tender pat, she stepped back to admire her handiwork. In a beautiful, cream gown, Diana's own hair was also piled into a bun.

"Perfect, Selene." She said warmly, gently squeezing Selene's bare shoulder. Selene smiled softly, reaching up a hand to gently touch her mother's. A knock on the door had the women looking over. Neiva entered the room, smiling. Selene rose from her chair, looking in the mirror once more. Taking a deep breath to keep a hold on her emotions, Diana turned toward the other women.

"Aphrodite, Marina, let's go and take our seats." She suggested. The two nodded. After they exited the room, Neiva and Selene were left alone. Selene turned to her father, She smiled. Neiva returned it, offering her his arm. She curtseyed teasingly, then slipped her arm around his.

It seemed to take them no time at all to get to the ballroom, where the wedding would be taking place. When the wedding march began, Neiva glanced down at Selene, who was staring up at him. His expression softened.

"I love you." He said softly, pressing a kiss to her bare forehead.

"I love you too." She replied, her blue eyes shimmering with tears. With a final nod, Neiva lead Selene inside, where the royals families and advisors were waiting.

"Family and friends. We are gathered here today to witness the holy union of Queen Lady Serenity and Lord Lun." Freya began. "The kingdom will rest easier knowing that the Queen is married, and in love." She turned to look at Lun. "Lord Lun. Do you understand that by marrying the Queen, your new priority will be the kingdom, then your new wife? Are you willing to suffer with her in bad times, and flourish with her in good?" She asked him. Lun nodded, gripping Selene's hands. He flashed Freya a grin.

"I do, milady." He said sincerely. Freya's eyes warmed. The soon-to-be king was dressed in a simple white suite, with a blue tie that matched his eyes. His beautiful blond hair was combed neatly.

"Serenity, do you understand that by marrying Lun that your kingdom will still remain your top priority, and that you are being allowed this union because your people trust that you will be able to keep that in mind?" She asked the new Queen. Selene nodded, her blue eyes warm and filled with love for the man in front of her. Her white, strapless dress matched his white suit and it made the two appear to radiate in the color filled room.

"I do." Selene said. Freya smiled, signaling Stella towards them. The light lavender haired woman offered the Queen and her almost-husband two gold rings.

"Please, put the rings on one another." Freya suggested. The two did so as Stella returned to the crowd. "By the power bestowed upon me by our ancestors, I bid thee wed." Freya announced. The ballroom broke out into applause as Lun pulled Selene in for their first kiss as a married couple. Selene broke the kiss, laughing happily. With his hands on her waist, and hers on his shoulders, she smiled tenderly at him.

"I love you Lun." She said tenderly, leaning up to kiss him again. Lun returned the kiss, grinning.

"I love you too, Selene." He replied.

"Love birds, get over here and socialize!" Aphrodite called out. The two turned and walked over to their friends and family.

Surrounded by the courts, and with the warm weight of her new husband's arm around her, Selene knew in her heart that everything would work out okay. No matter the price, she knew she could keep this happiness for years to come.

She would make sure of it.

A/N: So now we have our first Moon Queen! Next chapter will be a bit boring, but informative.
