The next morning, Serenity held a two year old instead of an eighteen year old woman. She just kissed baby Hannah's forehead.

'Pu, I need Hannah's baby clothes,' claimed Serenity in telepathy.

Trista met Serenity in Hannah's room. A raised eyebrow later, Trista left to get Erica and Darien to fetch Hannah's old bed. She threw a pair of clothes on the bed.

Serenity shook her head in dismay. She changed Hannah into blue jean overalls with a purple undershirt and socks. Hannah placed a wet kiss on the woman's pale cheek.

"Luv ye ma," Hannah tried to say 'I love you, mama.'

"Same here, sweetling," a kiss to the forehead proved her statement.

Hannah just grinned then laid her head down on her mama's shoulder. She simply closed her eyes in exhaustion, falling asleep within seconds. In her sleep, Hannah wrapped her arms around Serenity's neck.

Serenity in her white dress shirt with silver fluer de lis wrapped Hannah's back in a lavender baby blanket. She strolled downstairs to the back parlor then sat in a cushioned glider to watch the nature channel on cats.

Twenty minutes later, that is where thirteen people found them after Trista told the guardians. The five pilots had no clue of what they would find. Trista carried a coloring book with colored pencils.

Hannah yawned as her eyes fluttered open.

"Ah. Who is this cutie pie," Quatre wanted to hug her.

"Pilots, I guess I need to reintroduce you to Hannah Regina Saturn."

Wufei snorted in disbelief while the others looked at her in doubt.

"Tis true, I am 'annah," a younger Hannah said.

"I highly doubt that, little one," stated Duo with a silly grin on his face.

Hannah marched up to Duo then gave a mighty kick, for a two year old, to his unguarded shin. Defiantly, she raised her chin afterwards. After Duo stopped jumping on one foot, he tried to grab her, but she danced over to a guardian.

"This is Hannah, pilots. This is one of the half curses." (Mars gave them proof later.)

James Cunningham entered through a side door, "Mrs. Sobel is here, your majesty."

"Thank you James."

James returned with a woman in a brown business suit followed by three others. She glanced over at Hannah to see her coloring within the lines, an eyebrow was raised.

"I am glad that you called, Empress."

"You seem the honest type from what I have heard from your husband. All he wants to talk about is you," complimented Serenity, causing Clare to blush. Serenity handed over a script to be looked over.

The guardians escorted everyone to Crystal Palace grounds then helped set up the camera equipment. A podium was brought out for Serenity's speech on the newest cluster of colonies. The guardians stood behind their commander while the pilots were in front.

"My fellow pedestrians. I am Serenity Aurora Moon, my mother was Queen Selenity married to King Michael. As you might have noticed, nine new colonies have been secretly built. As of next week, I will be signing treaties and alliances before I allow the good people in to build new lives. New job opportunities will be available. Prophecy is no more since my release from Relena Peacecraft, who experimented on me illegally. This was an act against humanity and as such I demand she be reprimanded." Serenity stepped back to allow Mina to take her place.

"By noon tomorrow, the walls of hatred will fall. Each leader found worthy will receive a copy of a treaty and alliance to be signed or refused." Mina was nudged aside by an impatient Erica.

"Any mail to Serenity should be sent Crystal Palace on Moon Colony. Thank you."

Serenity was surrounded by her guardians. She was a bit anxious to go home. She brought out her book and started to write in it. She began to worry her inner cheek. Her eyes did not stay in one spot for long and she fidgeted in her comfortable position.

"Serenity," growled Raye in a temper.

"Hmm..." the silver eyed woman was distracted and not paying attention.

"Talk," commanded Darien in a no nonsense tone.

"Trouble is racing over the horizon. I fear that resistance to our change is a dangerous threat to what we have worked for. A lot is to be done." she looked ready to cry.

"Oh girl, we have faced worse than this before," Lita pulled her friend into a tight embrace of solace.

"The mansion's furniture will furnish a portion of the palace."

Serenity looked up in surprise that she forgot one detail, "The Peacecraft colony needs a new leader."

Trista dismissed that thought. She claimed the palace would be ready at noon. She stated that she was going to refurbish the royal chambers, herself.

The walls fell with a great explosion at the same time another line came true.

Later that week, five people left on a tour of the colonies. Serenity took Mina and Erica with her including Heero and Quatre to talk to the growing populace. The planetary colonies had a system that no one noticed. As they entered the colony, they were purified, but never felt a thing.

The other outsider colonies wanted to meet this Empress so she went there for treaty talks. She was up on stage when three gunshots were fired ominously at her. A bullet grazed her temple with another in her shoulder. The last one missed since the intended target was shielded by her guardians on the hard ground. Serenity was dizzy from pain and blood loss. Quatre cradled her head in his blue-clothed lap.

"We need to get her out of here," shouted Mina in her guardian role as Venus.

"Crystal Palace went under attack at the same time. Trowa, Duo, and Wufei have asked to guard the palace from our old mansion."

Uranus carried Serenity to the limo where Amy mysteriously met them to take out the bullet then bandage both wounds.

"We have a major problem," started Amy.

"What else can go wrong? Dammit. Kitten does not deserve this."

"Let me finish, will ya. Someone is after her and she cannot fully heal for a week since there is no moon to be seen and it is supposed to be cloudy, too. She needs to go into hiding."

Uranus rolled her eyes in a no duh manner. She smoothed away hair from Serenity's face. A wet cloth was used to try to get blood out of her silver hair.

Mina came up with a plan of action. Serenity could not stay with the Guardians, because the attacker knew the Guardians were always near her. She would need bodyguards while Mina played the impersonator.
