The male was wearing a light lavender tuxedo and a white eye mask with small slits to see through. He had dark blue eyes and jet black hair that was cut short. The woman on his arm was a picturesque beauty. Her long golden hair was tied in a peculiar style; two buns on top and two long pigtails trailing behind her. Her eyes were a shining crystal blue and full of sweetness. She wore a floor-length, white, strapless gown and seemed to have translucent fairy wings coming from her back.

For a moment, Gilbert was awestruck. He felt as though he hadn't seen a prettier girl in his whole life. The way the light glistened off of her hair, the graceful way that she held herself...That is, until she tripped over the end of her dress and suddenly tumbled down the stairs, dragging her husband down with her.

"Serenity-sama! Daijoubu?" Kiku raced over to the bottom of the staircase to aid his queen.

"It's alright, Kiku-kun. I may be queen now but I'm still my old self at this point." She giggled and turned to look at the other occupants of the space. "Konnichiwa, minna-san. I am Neo Queen Serenity and this is King Endymion. It's a pleasure to meet all of you nations at last."

"Ve~, you're pretty!" Feliciano said, coming up to Serenity and bowing.

"Aw, thank you! I'll bet you're Italia-kun." The blonde ruffled his hair as he stood, but made sure not to touch the curl on the side of his head.

"You know who I am?"

"Of course! I have to know who all of you are. Kiku-kun has told me everything about you all, and the other nations as well. Now that I'm queen, I'll be interacting with everyone. I can probably name all of you right now." Serenity closed one eye and stuck her tongue out in concentration while scanning the crowd. "Well, you look just like Italia-kun, so you're Romano-kun."

"Psh, whatever."

"Chugoku-kun I know already. Um...You're Spain-kun! Because you have those really nice green eyes. And you would be Igirisu-kun because of your eyebrows." Arthur muttered something inaudible. "You're Roshia-kun...because you're big and kinda scary..."

"Da!" Ivan said as if this were a compliment.

"You've got to be Doitsu-kun because you haven't even smiled once yet. I'm going change that." Serenity winked at him and Ludwig's face flushed slightly. "Judging by your sparkles, I'd say you're France-kun."

"Me oui, mon cher. Might I say that you are quite beautiful." Francis produced a rose from places unknown and handed it to Serenity.

"Your charms only confirm it," the queen giggled. "Hmm...You're a bit hard to place," she said looking at Matthew with a quizzical eye. "Oh! But that means I know exactly who you are. Canada-kun!"

"Eh? W-wow, you recognized me." Matthew's smile couldn't be bigger and Serenity matched it.

"That leaves...Puroisen-kun. I can tell by your hair and eyes." The blonde turned to the albino and stopped. Her mouth was slightly opened as she stared at him, taking in his handsome face and confident smile. "U-uh...Hello."

Gilbert stepped forward and took Serenity's hand to kiss it. "I deem you as awesome as me." The queen didn't know whether to be flattered by this comment or annoyed. Either way, she blushed.

"T-thank you. I think. So, where is America-kun?" She looked from side to side but couldn't find the spunky nation.

"Ah, Serenity-sama...there was a slight problem with America-kun...He stormed off when he heard that there was going to be one queen of the whole world," Kiku explained.

"Oh...Well, we'll just have to fix that won't we. Where do you think he's gone?" Serenity asked.

"Knowing that bloody burger, the closest McDonald's," Arthur replied.

"Ok! Then I'll see you all later." With a wave, Serenity skipped out of the palace.

"Serenity-sama! Wait!" Kiku called after her but it was too late. She was already on her way. Gilbert watched as she left, his heart jumping a little bit at the swish of her long locks.

Once Serenity was out of the castle, she made an attempt to be more royal. She walked carefully, and this time was sure to keep her feet off of the ends of her dress. She was making her way to McDonald's but when she passed a certain cafe window, she noticed a blonde head with glasses and a bomber jacket. Turning around, she went inside to meet with Alfred.

Said American was moping at a table with a burger and a coffee in front of him. He rested his head in one hand and stirred his drink absentmindedly. Serenity came up behind him and hugged him around the shoulders.

"What the heck?" He turned and jumped a little.

"Hey, America-san."

"How do you know who I am?"

Serenity took the seat across from Alfred in the booth. "I'm Neo Queen Serenity. Are you gonna finish that?" she asked, pointing to Alfred's untouched burger. He shook his head, eying her strangely, and pushed the plate towards her.

The queen licked her lips and picked up the sandwich. Just before she was about to take a bite, she noticed Alfred was still staring at her. "What, you think just because I'm a queen I can't eat burgers? They're the best food! Well, when you get them at Crown's of course."

Alfred was surprised by the appearance and personality of this supposed 'queen'. Unlike Kiku, she didn't bother with 'san' or 'sama' suffixes, nor polite bows. That unexpected glomp and appetite for his favorite food was not something he ever pictured out of a royal, especially one from Japan. Maybe she wouldn't be so bad after all.

After taking a few bites of the burger, Serenity wiped her mouth with a napkin and spoke. "Hey, America-kun. I know that you're an independent nation and that you fought a war to get out of monarchy but, can we talk this over? I mean, I'm not gonna be some crazy ruler who gives you no freedom. And I understand if you really don't want to be a part of this, but with the new way things are going to be, everyone's going to benefit in the end. Please reconsider?"

She gave him a puppy-dog look with her large, sparkling blue eyes, and Alfred couldn't resist. "Ugh, fine! I'll give it a chance. But the moment that something happens to jeopardize anything that I worked for, I'm finding another planet to live on!"

"No problem! I actually know a few other planets where you could go if you so choose. But I'm sure you'll be happy here." Serenity stood and hugged Alfred once again before finishing off the burger in two huge bites and putting down some money for the bill. "Ok, let's head back to the palace!"

Once Serenity and Alfred returned to the crystal palace they found it was in utter chaos! A girl with long raven-black hair was interrogating Arthur on the location of the queen while a blue-haired female was typing away on a mini laptop. Completely opposite of this frantic scene, a brunette was conversing with France on fine dining.

Once they spotted the pair coming through the door they all departed from their spots and joined her each assessing in their own way that their highness was safe. The blue-haired one pushed one of her earrings, causing a visor to appear across her eyes which she used to scan Serenity head to toe. The black-haired hot head scolded her for making them worry. The brunette informed her casually that lunch was served. A new girl entered, a blond, who surprised them all by informing them that a Motoki had called to tell them where Serenity was not fifteen minutes earlier. She smirked smugly.

All eyes now watched as Serenity was busy smoothing her soldier's ruffled feathers, save for Alfred. He chanced to glance over at the king and saw in his eyes cold disdain as he strayed away from the group. Confused by this suspicious glare, the American made a mental note to keep an eye out for the king.

"Minna-san, I would like for you to meet my Inner Senshi," Serenity said spreading her arms wide, and gestured to each of the girls in turn beginning with the blue-haired one. "This is Sailor Mercury, the doctor of the group." She nodded her head politely and Serenity pointed to the raven-haired girl. "Sailor Mars, who works with the technical strategies of our battles." Mars nodded regally at them, a hand resting on her queen's shoulder. "This is Sailor Jupiter, also part of battle plans and one of the best cooks in the world!" The brown-haired girl smiled, giving a jaunty little wave. "And last but not lease, Sailor Venus, the head of protection and self-proclaimed goddess of love. She was quite well known to your English people I believe." The blond flashed a V-for-victory sign and Arthur suddenly remembered a mysterious soldier from a few decades ago who was said to have died in a fire.

"Later on you shall meet my Outer Senshi. All of my Sailor senshi are queens of their respective planets and masters over their elements. I can't wait for you to meet the Outers! Then we'll truly be a family!" Serenity's laugh echoed like bells across the room and filled all occupants with warmth.

She giggled and smoothed back her hair, settling in her chair neatly and crossed her ankles once she had managed to pry herself from her worrying senshi. "To answer some things I'm sure you're all thinking, I intend to govern fairly and kindly, and to aid all that need it." She took a cookie from the tray Jupiter had just brought out, nibbling on it with a look of pure bliss. "But first, Mars, Mercury, you have family to attend to. I want you to go enjoy yourselves with them no 'ifs', 'ands', or 'buts'!" Her voice became stern on that command and, though reluctantly, the girls changed into civilian clothing. After two bright flashes of light where previously Mars had stood was now a girl in a priestess garb. Mercury had changed into a doctor's coat that she removed and folded over her right arm neatly.

"Alright meatball-head I'll go check on Grampa," the raven-haired girl said, striding away.

The blue haired girl chimed in a softer, more gentle tone, "Thank you, Usa-chan. With all this happening I had nearly forgotten..." A little giggle escaped her as she kissed her cheeks without a care. Venus and Jupiter followed also, returning to their duties.

Once they were gone she settled back down in the comfy chair, a small smile on her face. "Soon I will have to visit the parents I was born to on this planet...I hope they accept that I hid the truth to protect them from the Negaverse...I think it would be best to show my story rather then tell it, to let you see what I have done for this world and its people." She rose and opened her hand and a staff appeared in her palm. Suddenly they were floating above the moon all like apparitions. Alfred started to become uncomfortable, his fear of ghosts making him almost afraid of himself.

"Fret not. We are but specters to watch history as it once unfolded. We are not truly dead at all America-san." Below them the Moon Kingdom flourished like a flower. As they continued to watch, they saw many surprising events featuring none other than themselves!
