Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon, but I do own the reprints of the first three manga volumes.
Hello readers! Welcome to chapter 4 and I hope that you enjoy it! Please read and review. Sorry that it's kind of short but it felt like this was a good place to end the chapter. Keep an eye out for the next one (which now that I have my laptop shouldn't too much longer!)
She stood before Neo Queen Serenity. "The white-haired one said you wished to see me?"
"Yes." The Queen replied. "If you'll just follow me, we can talk in private." The queen of Crystal Tokyo stood and the visiting monarch followed her into a medium sized room behind the thrones. Serenity stood facing a small window in silence. After a moment she turned around and faced her visitor.
"There is something I need you to do for me."
She looked at the monarch in wonder. "And if I do this, what shall I get in return, Neo Queen Serenity? We of course, both know very well how this world works."
"Please call me Serenity." She looked into Chigau's eyes directly and stepped forward as she continued. "If you do this favor for me, I'll make sure that Chibi-Usa chooses your nephew as her consort."
Chigau raised an eyebrow. "What can I do?"
She would never have guessed what the queen's plan would entail.

It had been several days since the Queen and her nephew had arrived and I had been extremely busy catering to them. It was slightly annoying because I wasn't used to it, but at the same time it gave me an excuse to stay away from Endymion. I was still upset with him but this time away made me realize why I got so upset.
It had been a very long day for everyone with Chibi-Usa's birthday party only being two days away, but I needed to talk with Endymion.
I knocked on his bedroom door and heard the familiar voice call out, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Endymion. I need to talk with you."
Mumbling came from inside the room and the door opened revealing another familiar face.
I nodded my head and addressed her wondering the entire time what she was doing here. "Queen Chigau. I thought you had gone to bed for the evening."
"That my dear boy is really none of your business." she said condescendingly, causing me to bristle.
It is when your in my boyfriends bedroom. I thought to myself.
"Anyway, I should be heading to bed so I'll leave you two alone." She walked away and I had never wanted to strangle anyone in my life before, but she just annoyed me so much. There was just something about her I didn't like.
I stepped in and shut the door behind me. Endymion sat on the bed and I asked quietly, "What did she want?" I knew I sounded jealous, but there was no way around it.
"It's nothing. She wanted to know if Chibi-Usa and I would like to have lunch with her and her nephew tomorrow afternoon. I told her I'd ask Chibi-Usa in the morning." He looked at me and smiled.
I cleared my throat and continued "Is that why you're not wearing a shirt and your pants are unbuttoned?"
"She knocked on my door just five minutes ago." He stood and walked over to me "I was getting ready for bed and she promised she wouldn't be long."
I sighed. He had never lied to me before. At least not that I knew of.
"You said you wanted to talk?"
I did and I probably still should. I looked into his eyes and spoke. "I just wanted to tell you that while I am still upset at you for what happened the other day, I'm more upset at myself for letting it happen. I shouldn't have reacted as I did."
He cocked an eyebrow and smirked at me. "Does that mean you'll be here tonight?" His voice had chills running up and down my spine and with the look I gave him, he had his answer. I stepped forward and we kissed for the first time in days. My knees went weak and I leaned into him allowing myself to be taken.

"How did things go?" Serenity asked her partner in crime.
"Well things were going great, but the boy appeared. Another few minutes and I'd have had him." The dark-haired beauty studied the private room that the reigning queen called her sanctuary, her bedroom. Just by helping she had assured that her nephew and her kingdom would be bound to this castle and its land. That much Serenity had promised her.
"What are your plans? My daughters party is in two days."
"We'll be having lunch tomorrow afternoon. I plan to try and get the boy to escort the children afterward so that we may be alone. The boy did already see me in his room with the King in a less than dressed state of clothing. He might already have suspicions."
"Well with Helios, when it comes to Endymion if he didn't hate you before, he does now." Serenity said and turned towards the window.
Chigau laughed and smiled, crossing her arms as she spoke. "He cares that much does he?" Serenity looked over her shoulder and nodded. She turned back to look at the moon and Chigau continued. "Why do you wanna do this?"
Serenity stayed silent for a few minutes. When she turned around and walked towards the door to show Chigau out, the raven-haired woman noticed that tears had begun to fall. Serenity tried to hold back a sob as she answered. "He grew tired of me and went for the next person who fell for him. In doing so he broke not only my heart but that of my daughters as well. Helios was to be her husband, as you know. I want to cause him the most pain possible as he did to me."
Chigau looked directly into the clear blue eyes looking at her. "Well you know what they say. 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'." She stepped through the doorway and bowed her head. "Good evening Serenity."
The door closed leaving the queen in silence. After collapsing onto her bed the blond cried as she hadn't done in years.
So, what do you guys think? Until next time everyone!
