I did not own Timecrest all rice belongs to Sneaky Crab and I also do not own Sailor Moon. All that rice belongs to their creators.

Welcome to chapter 23 of this beautiful story of sisters of the Moon. This chapter goes off a little bit from Canon of Sailor Moon or Timecrest, but not so much Sailor Moon; this is a Sailor Moon-type chapter. We also jump ahead a little, maybe not, I'm not sure.

Yes, we're gonna jump ahead. Ages are changing so I'll give the current new ages.

This is a big age jump time has progressed five years ahead,

Everyone has aged five years of their current time of their current ages from the last several chapters.

And like I said, this is a current chapter or a Sailor Moon Canon chapter from one of the Sailor Moon movies I remember which one is the one about the flowers except it won't be that obvious.

...

The boy from that movie will not be in this story. OK, let's get ready for this wonderful chapter, The Rose of Promise.

And like I said everyone is aging up.

five years of past

Is Scarlett pregnant again with her final child?

But she won't be giving birth anytime soon so we can expand this over several chapters.

This is just the beginning.

OK, this chapter is gonna be about princess Serena well not really about her being a princess, but Serena finally going into Ora Pala after so many years, and the girls too because they haven't gotten to see the other sailor guardians Uranus and Neptune, Michelle and Alex Pluto wasn't going so that's how it's gonna be.

Even though Pluto will want to go, she probably won't get to or maybe always Serena will get to go on this trip that's it always Serena gets to go on this trip.

Because Scarlet is in the hospital there or at Dr. Crawford's office they're going to go visit her.

Just like in that movie.

So let's begin this chapter now.

five years later

At the Timecrest Gardens, Timecrest Guild Gardens, .

Riley

Riley was tending the gardens like always. She's been doing this for the last several years helping Luther and Scarlet and their five kids. Well, several children. They had five biological children and one adopted child or two. Yes, only one. But their family was about to grow again cause Scarlet was pregnant once again it was another STAR seed a new star seat entered her system. The universe blessed her with the Sailor Moon universe. The human world universe blessed this woman from Valencia once again from the melting pot from the cauldron I knew sailor guardian was being made Queen serenity was also blessing her once again with another child, of course, she would think the queen if she ever saw her, but she would never see in a trans like that again, but she promised her that she wouldn't even tell her husband yet about her other daughter Serena may look they're on a chase to find the princess.

The household became like it was when the children were being born and Scarlet had to go to Orem Hall for checkups. Sometimes it was not good. It was her last baby. Would it be the end of her life hopefully not but no one knew what the sixth child would do to her I didn't know what it would be like.

Riley didn't know either as she stood there in the gardens, tending to the flowers like always.

With a teleport orb a little girl came down from ion Serena Riley said startled for a moment. What are you doing down here? Shouldn't you be up on Ion or the other children? She looked up at Riley with big bright eyes Riley said yes I know I'm Riley. I need a rose a rose. She knew baby talk. She had several children to take care of before I knew the top she was giving, even though she was only five she hadn't grown out of all her baby talk yet. What do you need a rose for Riley asked you shouldn't be down here. Headmaster crane could kill you. The children knew that they weren't allowed in the guild until they were older. The little girl walked right into the guild and into the gardens, even though Riley told her not to.

Fine Riley said, but you better teleport back to ion as quickly as possible. Little girl not in her head. OK, Riley Riley picked her twinkle rose thanks, Wally. She said you're welcome. Serena now go OK? Serena said as she left and went back to ION.

I don't know why the master couldn't have a guild closer to Ora Halla and the gilthead master could have his guild. Riley thought I'll have to talk to Luther about this or hell is a better place to have a guild. This is so far away.

Well, I'll talk to him about it later. Riley thought as she finished up her job and teleported to Ion before he headed to master crane and noticed anything different.

Riley was finished for the day. She didn't stay in the guild long except for the 10 to the flowers in the garden every two or three times a day at least she didn't stay down here either. She couldn't help it. She felt bad for Petra and Foulger because they had to stay down here and deal with the crane all the time if they could have a different guild location, they wouldn't have to deal with a crane at all and she could be the head Guild master. She was getting old enough or she could have Miss Scarlet do it. Luther told her that Scarlet could not be a guild master or even a head guild master she asked him once why and he said because she's my wife not because I wouldn't want her to be, but because she has to take care of the children and I can't take care we have to take care of the kids full grow in. Poto is always free and Crane forced himself in so I couldn't do anything. He's in he has influence that's what he told her Riley didn't like this, but she didn't argue with Luther. She dare not being a father was different for him and it's changed him somewhat overprotective is what he became if he knew that Serena came down here he wouldn't punish her, but he would be upset Whether there was slow to anger when it came to his children.

Into his youngest, even more, so yes, he loved his older children and his adopted son Roger as well who is about the same age as sibling Ash they were the oldest in the group next to Amy, but Ash was still older than Amy, but the rules didn't apply to the children. His parents even were not allowed to leave ion. They lived there too. Helena and Julius lived on ion as well along with Trista now lived on ion. It was very crowded, but Riley didn't mind. She was fine with all these people living here Miss Helena Julius.

They loved Riley too if it wasn't for the garden Riley wouldn't live down here either. If it went for the garden, they wouldn't even be in this guild. She couldn't just move the garden out of the guild. You couldn't uproot all those plants you have to build a new garden if they ever did leave.

The only other person who stayed in the Congress guild most of the time was the Timecrest merchant but he had no choice but to be there, if they ever uprooted he would leave with them he would not stay here he'd pack up all of his things a setup shop in a new guild if they decide to build, one would gladly take the place as a head, Guild master she knew she'd be a better one but crane wouldn't let her. She even argued with him to tell her that she should she was a princess at one point she had more experience leading something, but even if they did a root and moved to another place for a guild, they couldn't get away from Crane completely. He was a master on the council for one.

Had more influence than anyone in the world Riley knew that everyone knew that when she was done tending to her garden, she teleported up to the Island. There was a commotion going on.

When I got up there, Luther was there too. He's about to leave to go to Ojala. He's gonna take Serena with him, Daddy. She heard her say Riley gave me this twinkle rose. He said why not a lily he laughed because I asked for a rose, and she said this one is a whole plant she said he didn't deny his youngest anything she had to sneak down and get it. Riley said she came up to him. He didn't make sure your kids don't come down. I told her she could get a plant, Riley. We're going to visit Scarlet. She's at Dr. Crawford's. She's been staying there a while. She hasn't been feeling like well lately and I think she's gonna have another child soon. Is she gonna pass? Riley wondered if she was not that sick Riley she was just pregnant. Riley knew that and I thought the plant would cheer her up even though she can't see it. She can feel it but all plants feel the same to her. She knows the shape of a rose and she knows the difference in the shape of flowers. Riley, are you jealous of me no Riley said not not jealous of Scarlet. I'm not jealous of anyone. I'm just worried about the master crane. What if he saw her and tried to hurt her? She doesn't have her magic yet and she can't transform Yet. None of the kids can they're not of age and they're not of the age of being an age yet either even though they have their magic gift, they haven't shown their magic yet.

...

Serena was lucky that it was me. Riley said what if it was crane I'm glad you went and got their flower. Luther said but Serena I should've been with you. I should've gone down with you. You shouldn't have gone down before me yes, father she said again you're still going with me.

Five years old and already getting into trouble she has it from you, Riley's side.

Or maybe Scarlet I don't know which she probably gets her sense of adventure from Ash. Luther said that could be a possibility. Riley said.

Ever thought of moving your guild or at least moving ion your parents live here so it's not like they're living somewhere below us I thought about it Luther said, or Ila would probably be the closest to most of our friends deal well that both the Eldon's only one of them live there, Adriana I'm thinking about it and starting a new guild. Riley said I could be the headmaster. And the children can come down anytime.

And be arrival guild Luther said I thought about it, but when they with the fan support a new guild.

You'll probably have to leave a lot of people behind Luther. We'll have to start from scratch and get new administrators. Everything there might be too many that are loyal to crane. You'll have Foulger and your hyper Torra you have me and your parents and the children in Scarlet.

And if we move there Ohala, you'd have Porsche and Elise I know Elise and I don't get along at least here in this. Luther said I know, but she'll come with us all right if you can talk to Elise and get her to come with us that is not gonna be an easy task.

She already dislikes me and runs away from me Riley said.

But I'll try and get an audience with her Luther just nods. OK Riley if you can do that also, I need to talk to you privately Riley about what Riley asked Mom and me and Dad want to talk to you Riley Marley just nodded. What about Riley asked about your upbringing. He said Riley just narrowed her eyes. What do you mean Riley asked if you come to the study I will tell you before I leave to go visit Scarlet wait Serena OK Serena not at her head OK Dad I will wait here on the platform. No, you're coming inside. He said grabbing her. You're my precious baby. I don't want you hurt. She is not OK.

She was his youngest, but he still worried about her she was the youngest so far, but the report said that she was pregnant. Scarlett was having another child and it probably be her final one she had six healthy children and adopted one why don't you go see what your brothers and your uncle please they'll help you get dressed for the outing Serena nodded. Wouldn't he be with you in the meeting? No, it's just for me and Scarlett and mommy and daddy I mean for me and not your mother but for me and your grandparents and Riley OK correcting himself go see Ash and Roger. OK, she knows and goes off.

She hollers out for Ash and Roger, who are older than her there you are, Serena, we were worried Ash said, putting her on the head sorry she said that I went to the gardens to see why we why'd you go see Riley Roger asked, cause I wanted to be, I wanted to take it to Mommy L awesome looked at her sympathetic, but you know it's dangerous to go alone if you wanted to go why didn't you ask us to come with you? I didn't think about it. You're lucky that the head mill the head guild master didn't see you. She knew that too. She was lucky that had Gild nest crane didn't see her.

Need to be careful next time Serena Ash said sympathetically, but kindly hugging his little niece close to him. Her adopted brother hugged her back to cheer her up. We're gonna go see mom Roger said, smiling. She knew she was gonna see her beautiful mother Scarlet today holding the twinkle, rose in her hand and I'll be giving her this she said at least the whole bush. She wasn't thinking that she'd probably be giving away a rose.

Then a voice called a female voice called Ash please come to the room with us please I'll be back Ash said Roger watch your sister. Oh well, he said taking Serena's hand come let us sit. OK. Serena said she sat down with Roger.

...

She asked will you see Sarah I might see her today he said starting up a conversation do you think you'll ever join the guild? It'll be a while he said probably months or years. Maybe he said I'm not that old yet he laughs. And neither is Roger and you girls are not ready yet to be the overprotective brother. He was to his sister and his other sisters, even though some of them were older than him and him being older than some of them actually, he was older than all of his sisters. He was very protective of them the girls were always pestering him, but he didn't mind most of the time. Amy was his favorite because she was a water mage. She was showing great promise with her magic.

...

Maybe she'll become the master of water he didn't know what Serena would be or the other girls, but they were all extraordinary. He can tell even though they were all humans he wasn't against them. I mean his father was human. His beautiful mother wasn't, but he didn't care that they were all half human it didn't bother him one bit and he didn't care what his brother was up to in Windsor how he hated he hated Alan Alan was rude crude, and evil. He thought his brother probably be moving this way to join the guild eventually, but if he did, he'd ignore his brother and focus on taking care of his sisters.

And his future wife Sarah he loves Sarah very much and she loves him too.

He was excited that he'd be going to see her hope filled him thinking Yay. I'm gonna go see him soon. See her and my future brother-in-law's AC or Alistair is he now called adopted by Adriana Eldon who's now Alistair Eldon and Darien Elden he was happy to see them too, but Sarah was the one he really wanted to see. She will have no magic which is fine that gives him some chance to protect her.

He wondered how they're gonna get to Orem Hala today. Does Riley know how to teleport Riley's going to probably she's part of the family in some way he thought well that's what he was thinking about?

...

Are you OK Roger Serena asked I'm fine Serena he said patting her on the head with her two pigtails he laughed. How do you always wear your hair like that I like it she said don't I look cute you do he said, but they look like pigtails they look like long neck pigtails he laughed. Oh please don't tease me, brother, she said, but she clearly was laughing.

Do you think I'll find my prints? I don't know what he said, but if you keep believing you might, he wanted to encourage her on her fairytales she had a lot of fairytale tombs, and didn't have time for studies, even though her mother and father told her to. .

But she'd rather sit around and read poems, especially mystical ones about fairytales and whatever other tones she could get her hands on.

She also thought about nighttime time she heard stories about it, but she had never seen nighttime. She wondered where the moon was she even asked him where the moon had not seen the moon for a long time he said do you remember no I don't remember the moon either he said I was born two years before nighttime disappeared. He said don't worry nighttime will come back someday and you can stare at the moon. He didn't understand why she longed to see the moon. It frightened her that the moon wasn't in the sky, but she knew that that moon was at her moon, but still, the moon was the moon right she felt like she was robbed of it and not seeing the moon.

Meanwhile

in Luther study

...

What's with the family meeting? Ash asked as he walked into the room why are we left yet to see Miss Scarlet? We will soon Luther said, but we have to have a family meeting because mother and father called us in here together as a family Riley not along. I don't know what this meeting is about, but it's probably very important.

Don't worry, I'll make it brief. Helena said what have you been keeping from us Mom Luther asked Ash no yeah Mom what have you been keeping from us? Riley was wondering the same thing Miss Helena she pulled a birth certificate dating from a long time ago. Riley stared at it. It had her name Riley, but no last name why isn't there a last name on this birth certificate my first name Riley wondered and said out loud this is difficult but you're the daughter of an affair even Julius Lip was stunned what? Why do you keep this from me Helena Julius I didn't know myself I didn't know. The king was. You had an affair with King Janice both Luther and Julius and Ash looked at her and Riley too.

...

I fought to get this Helena said I had to fight to get this back. She said again, but it has no last name, but then I found out about Riley being born to the king and I asked for another birth certificate to make sure before anything happened to the kingdom, Janice agreed and he gave me another birth certificate. I said Riley Valder and I was like when did I have a kid with you, Janice? He told me that he raped me and fix his mistake to make sure I wasn't carrying a daughter of an affair and a bastard child he moved so that Riley doesn't get killed because the bastard children are killed. He removed the egg that Riley was in and into his wife to show that she was the one who gave birth to Riley and saying that I was a surrogate mother for Riley if I'd known that I was pregnant with you Riley I would've not agreed and had the baby had you in the quarantine zone away from Janice and you would've been raised as my daughter that's why you love me so much mother Helena, mother Helena she said, of course, dear because I'm your biological mother you are Luther and ashes half-sister and I guess Tristan's half-sister too. She looked over. Susan was sitting with them, but she didn't understand much of it.

If I had known that the two of you were siblings, Helena began to say I wouldn't have pushed for the two of you to wed instead, I would've pushed for the two of you to be siblings. Hell down in a shame if I had known sooner or later she said sign I would've fought for you to be my daughter Riley and took you out of her if I knew you were unhappy, but your mother was alive and I couldn't take you away from Queen Olivia, but as soon as she died, I should've just taken you in you and Luther could've been raised side-by-side and when Nash was born, the three of you could've grown up together I didn't know you were my sister Riley, and it's fine. Riley said.

Are you gonna tell the story about how it happened? Riley asked her new mother not now. You all have a very important business to go to see Miss Scarlet at Dr. Crawford's in Orem Hala. I won't leave you to tell the story. I'll tell it when you all get back Helena promised. But I'll make sure Trista doesn't hear the story. She ain't old enough to hear about all of it and it concerns the three of you more. Elena began.

Riley found out that she was the middle child. The second born of four instead of three she was born out of surrogacy because the queen couldn't have children. She probably thought figured, but she didn't know the whole story yet all right Mom will be back soon. I know you will be. We won't be long Mom Luther said are you taking Serena with you? It'll hurry her first outing we've taken the girls out one by one that's the last several years I think it's Serena's turn to see the world after that little stone do you think it'll be OK she's sorry and besides, we're not going to the guild we're going to or Valhalla. Oliver won't be there. Luther reassured besides Ash and Roger are also going and they're gonna go visit Sarah and Alistair while we go visit Scarlet OK the one they wanna see Miss Scarlet too. They might come later.

Be careful Helena said Julius just nodded. You have no magic you sacrificed it for daylight for nighttime. I know Luther said I know I did that Father I did it for everyone. I know the dangers don't worry. Everything's gonna be OK besides, I want my daughter to see the world. I'll even bring Luna with us and Luna is very attached to her. You know like Artemis is to sailor Tamina all right then be careful.

Then with Riley's power, the group teleported to Ohala Ash and Roger have been here plenty of times with their other sisters at times and their baby sister has been here a few times too, but she wasn't humping them this time the first going to visit Porsche and visit the nights and visit Amora and Michelle, after that they left to go visit Adriana.

Then they walked into Adriana's house.

My master she said greeting Luther Young master she said greeting Ash and Roger as well. Roger asked if Sarah was there of course Sarah Rogers was there. Sarah was happy to see him and hugged him. Are you gonna stay a while yeah even though my mom's in the Dr. Crawford's will be coming to visit soon. Adriana said don't worry we're not gonna stay here at the house the whole time Alistair agreed to Ash as well. Hey hey, the young prince as well treated the others as until he saw her blue-purple eyes with hen of sunrise, long blonde, pigtails, platinum, blonde, pigtails with little round buns on the top of her head on the Tips or red tips, they were fully blonde when she transforms, but it wasn't time for that yet. As she wore a cute little bunny outfit and an outfit with a bunny on it, she looked so cute. She didn't know what bunnies were until she looked them up and insisted that her grandmother Helena make her an outfit like that, and it was made out of a Muffy wall. I'm surprised she's not hot he thought who are you? He asked.

I'm Serena Serena said Serena he informed me the name in his mouth how old are you? Five she said show five fingers. Well, at least you know how to count. Why does your hair look like that? I don't know what she said, but don't you like it he left and thought it was a cute look. She was in a cute child-like way what's your name I'm Darian. He said, reaching out her hand to shake. She shook his hand too. You live here in the big city yeah he said do you live in the city I live in the countryside she said in a big palace his eyes widened so you're a princess no would you like to be one? She laughed what kind I'll explain later he said what do you have roses twinkle roses? She said I'm taking a bunch of them to my mom. She's at Dr. Crawford's and we are gonna she's not feeling well so I had while we picked them for me. I'm gonna give her some. Would you like one?

...

Sure, he said as she handed him a flower but it'll be useless unless you keep them watered she said why is that because they'll bloom that made him sad twinkle roses would never bloom bloom again one day he said you're cute. OK, you think so. Luna looked at her and the young boy, she didn't think that the prince and princess would meet. She knew that Serena was the princess she could tell my friends would come over eventually to visit. Why don't you stay not right now she said, but maybe some other time I gotta go visit Mommy.

Right, of course putting the flower down in a window near their home. I will make sure that Mom waters it. OK, Serena nods. Should I give you a nickname? She wondered what kind don't make it too embarrassing I'll think of it one day he said just think about it friends, OK he said checking her hand will be friends.

Yeah, she said nice to see you, Miss Adriana. Luther said the pleasure is mine and yours my master she said if you've ever seen my husband, tell him he needs to leave that place of Lyle. It's cursed. We left there for a reason and he was back what is he thinking? Don't worry, ma'am I'll make sure of that.

You don't have to call me ma'am Adriana said to Luther, you're my master, not my master, but on the council, he knew what she meant. I know what you mean Adriana I'll do my best but I'm not studying foot in that place and neither is my family we're thinking about moving out here towards Ocala. Eventually, it's unbearable living near the guild too. You're withdrawing Adriana said of course Luther said Crane is unbearable and I don't feel safe with my daughters being near such a place.

..

Do you think you can build yourself a new one? I don't know the side, but I might be able to in a few years. I don't know if there are any administrators I want to bring along though even if they are on my side, I'm worried about having any of them the only people I'll be bringing are my love Scarlet my children, Riley, Foulger, and Bator.

Anyone else and anyone that lives on ion with me, Luther said my parents as well and their daughter they moved on ion with me they didn't want they didn't have any else to live. Yeah, I understand Adriana said well if you can move to a place outside here and build a small guilt here I know we'll be welcoming even more so yes ma'am he said I'm thinking about it more or if it's not cursed we're gonna move near Scarlett's hometown and build a guild there.

I know, Mr. Ignace would want us to move there. I haven't met him in a while, but I was thinking about moving out that direction towards Ravenswood been that a little far we still have the contact we have by teleporting here to Orem, Hala, and all that good stuff but we have the land out there to build a new guild. We don't have the land here near Orem Hala. I understand it'll be further or even further away, but there's teleportation and I have my griffin. My wife has her dragon so we have transportation, and then there are the Griffin transports too.

...

And it'll be safe for my girls to leave the Levi on as much as they want and they won't have to worry about being caught by the headmaster crane they can be safe. My girls are special. You know I know that Adriana said Understandably if it was one for having a new life here in the city, my son and I and my new kids would move out there too, but we settled so well here what do you do, Adriana? I don't do much. She said I do miss having a garden and growing my fire peppers and my dragon berries.

If we go, and there's nothing changed with Ravenswood, we will take you will bring you will come back and bring you. This is Eldon. You and your little family can live closer to us and we won't have to travel as far just to see you. We still have to travel this far to see Dr. Crawford obviously, but we won't have to travel as far to see you. Porsche won't leave so we'll have to travel this far to see her of course.

I'll think about it Adriana said and I'll talk to the kids. They might enjoy moving out to the country. All right then I'll see you, Scarlett. I said hi I will. And then with that, they left leaving Roger alone to be with Sarah. Ash came along with Luther and Serena. He didn't wanna leave his brother and his niece alone not because he didn't trust them but because he just didn't want to be the only one who went to visit Even though he wanted to visit his adopted brother maybe he wouldn't have to do as much if they decide to move to the countryside, move towards Ravenswood.

I don't know well think about it Mrs. Eldon Luther said and then they left like I said Ash left with them only Roger stayed behind to visit with Sarah and Alistair for a time even though he'd want to see Miss Scarlet Luther said it was OK if they stayed if he stayed there for a while.

I'll bring you to see Scarlett some other time if she is still in here, Roger nodded even though he wanted to see her as his mother. He knew that this was a visit that Serena needed to do and would beat you there. Adriana said again, don't worry all right Luther said as they left.

Then they walked out of Adriana's house and walked towards Dr. Crawford's office to visit with Scarlett.

ending here

Sorry, I'm ending on this cliffhanger, but I think I'll enjoy the next chapter coming up which will be chapter 24 which won't be for a little while, but this will give you something good to read for a while. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

I'll see you at chapter 24 soon where they get to meet and visit with Scarlett. This chapter is all about the rose and the giving of the rose so I'll see you in chapter 24 soon.

The next chapter will be chapter 24
