Yuki woke to a strange light coming through the window. She sat up and was greeted by an unfamiliar site. "What... Where am I?" She said to her self, she was very surprised to see Ian sitting there.
"Ladyship, don't you remember? You’re in the palace, on Earth."
Yuki nodded and looked down at the bedding. "What time is it?"
Ian stood up and sat next to her, taking her in his arms.
His lips were very close to hers and as they moved closer she closed her eyes and waited for the warm presser to touch her own...
Yuki woke from her dream it had been pleasant but left her wondering why she was dreaming like this. She got out of bed and quickly got dressed. When she opened the door to go out in to the hallway she was not surprised to see Ian there.
"Hi." She said blushing. Ian looked at her strangely and muttered a hello.
They walked to the grand dining hall and saw that everyone was there. Queen Serenity stood and welcomed them. As Yuki sat next to Minako she was upset that Ian did not sit next to her. She smiled at Hotaru and then folded her hands in her lap.
Neo Queen Serenity said "Now as soon as Small Lady and her new friend arrive we may begin to eat."
Makoto looked up from gazing at Ian. "Chibi-Usa has a new friend that very good. She seemed so lonely lately."
Just then Chibi-Usa and a tall girl walked up. "Mother, Father forgive me for keeping you waiting. I had other matters to attend to." She paused and smiled.
"Oh and this is my new friend Lily. Lily meet Makoto, Minako, Rei, Ami, Hotrau, Satsuna, Michiru, and Haruka." She smiled at her Mother and Father.
"I don't know them or I'd tell you who they are." Neo Queen Serenity smiled back at her daughter.
"Small Lady this is Princess Yuki and her escort Ian. They have come from the star, or should I say planet, Vega." Yuki stood and turned to Chibi-Usa.
"Small Lady Serenity, It is a pleaser to meet you, and your friend." Yuki looked to Chibi-Usa's companion.
"Lily?" She gasped.
" I should have known that you would have come directly to the palace. It would fit your plan. I tell you now that whatever deeds of deception your planning won't work. The Royal Family of Vega has stood since its birth, and none like you will bring it down!" Lily's eyes became wide.
" You're overstepping your boundary Princess. Neither you, nor your family will be able to touch me here." Lily turned to the surprised Chibi- Usa.
" My friend, I beg your forgiveness if I seem rude, but I would like to return to my room." Chibi- Usa looked to her mother.
" Yes darling, you may excuse her." Neo Queen Serenity answered her daughters’ silent questioned.
"Umm... Okay. Yes Lily you may leave."
" Thank you." Lily said. Lily left the room quickly. Yuki stood with her head high.
" Your Majesty, forgive me for my interruption, it was very rude of me. I ask if may be allowed to use your commutating services to allow me to contact my father and inform him that Lily is here?"
Neo Queen Serenity replied. " Yes, you may. I will allow you to handle this matter on your own, but I ask you to tell me what she did."
Yuki bowed. " Yes of course. If we may discus this elsewhere?"
Neo Queen Serenity smiled. " Yes."
She turned to King Endymion. " Darling excuse Yuki and I well we discuss these matters."
King Endymion looked at his beautiful wife and the beautiful young princess next to her. " Of course darling."
Ian watched Yuki and Neo Queen Serenity leave the room. The little episode with Lily had confused him and his princess. He knew that even though she didn’t show any emotion. She had been trained that way. Most people only know the outside princes. Thought Ian Most people don’t know how she is forced everyday to sit in a dark cold room, with only her own thoughts for company. She’s so isolated, but she’s doing wonderfully here. She’s never been around people, why is she doing so well here? Ian frowned.
" Hey Ian, what’s wrong? You look upset. Don’t worry Neo Queen Serenity won’t hurt Yuki. No one will." Makoto said from her seat next to him.
Ian looked at her. " I know. I just don’t like leaving my princess alone."
What a hunk. Makoto thought No, bad Moko-chan, you have a duty now you must protect the King and Queen and Small Lady Serenity. You can’t fall in love with someone who’s all ready in love. She sighed. But it is nice to dream.
" All right, Princess Yuki. Now will you tell me?" Neo Queen Serenity asked.
Yuki smiled. " Yes I will."
She sat on a stool nearby her feet. " You see when we first came to Vega, we thought that there was no one living there, but there was. There were many people there all ready. Lily was there from her birth. There is a man named Sapphire and some others. After we discovered that they had been there for many years, almost a millennium, we also discovered that they were many of the reborn souls that Sailor Moon and her Sailor Senshi defeated long ago. We came up with the theory that everyone is reborn. If their souls were damaged in their past lives they must wait for it to heal. We also think that the reason they took the same form as their last life is because they have sin’s to redeem themselves for. Lily is different. She has no sin’s to redeem herself of. She was there before us and we welcomed her in to our hearts. Only my father and I know what she really is. She wish’s to pull our Kingdom down. She wants to destroy every life there. She has plotted against us many times and the only reason we have no put her a jail is because our crime rate is so low we have no use for one. Most of our criminals that did really bad things of course are put to death. Well we feel that because Lily and the others were there before us that they should have different rights. We feel if we were to hold them on such jurisdictions that it would show that we were mindless, heartless fools."
Yuki paused for a moment to recall what she had said all ready, than continued. " Lily traveled here in hopes of getting your help to over throw us. As soon as my father found out he sent me here to retrieve her."
Yuki stood up. " That is why I am here, and that is why the things were said back there. I have known Lily from the time of my birth. In all these 17 years I have not seen her age one bit. I guess you could say I don’t trust her. She does wish to over throw us no matter what she may tell you."
Neo Queen Serenity nodded. " I have listened to your story and I will allow you to tell your father that Lily are here, but I will not allow you to take back to Vega for now. I want her to stay here for now. She and Chibi-Usa have just become close. My daughter has not had many close friends since the time she spent in the past. She and Hotrau are good friends, but Hotrau has had many things to do and has not spent much time with her. I do hope that you understand. . I would also like you to stay for Chibi-Usa fifteenth birthday. That is if you wish to."
Yuki nodded. " Yes I do, and I would be delighted to stay, but would also like to stay until you allow Ian and I to take Lily back to her home."
" Yes, I will allow that. Now let us get back to the rest before they start to think something is wrong."
Yuki smiled. " Of course Queen, and thank you."
