Chapter 2

Last Time:

Rei froze and let out a terrifing scream as a vision was appearing to her.

The others looked at Rei completely confused.

"Rei, what's the matter?" Jadeite asked concerned.

"I just saw a vision of the battle with Queen Metaria and her daughter." Rei said with tears streaming down her eyes.

"What happened?" Zoisite asked.

"Please tell us, Rei? Ami asked.

"Endymion was struck dead by Beryl and Serenity was heart broken that she made a wish on the silver crystal that combinded with the golden crystal then she took Endymion's sword and took her life." Rei said.

Everyone in the room went pale from hearing that.

After a while, Mina said," Well, we will have to keep the royal couple as safe as we can."

"I agree, Mina." Kunzite said.

"We'll have to do it without them being suspicious of what's going on." Lita said.

"Although, I'm pretty sure that they'll be aware of us having the security doubled." Nephrite said.

Suddenly, Rei went into a trance of some sort.

"Rei?" Jadeite questioned.

"Rei is having another vision, I think." Ami said.

"Rei, what are you seeing this time?" Zoisite asked curiously.

"I see that we have all been reborn. Endymion is the prince still and the four of you are still his royal guard that protect him. I see Serenity as a school teacher and once again she meets him in his private rose garden. Things seem familiar to us but we won't know why exactly that they seem familiar to us. As for us, the guardians of Serenity, our lives will be different than they are now and we will meet you all again feeling a connection but not sure why we do." Rei said.

"Is that all that you can see for now?" Jadeite asked.

Rei nodded.

Kunzite sighed and said, "Well at least that is some good news; I guess for now."

"I couldn't agree more." Mina said.

"Well, who's going to be the first couple to watch over Serenity and Endymion?" Nephrite asked.

"I guess it will be me and you." Lita said looking at Nephrite.

Nephrite nodded then him and Lita left the library to search for the royal couple.

~Back to the Present~

Prince Endymion didn't leave the room but sent Kunzite to fetch several of the paintings that was in his study and bring them to him. Kunzite nodded and Mina went with him to help him out in case he needed it.

"What exactly happened to Serena?" Ami asked.

"Ms. Tsukino fainted in the rose garden and hasn't woken up since then." Endymion answered the young woman.

"Why does this seem familiar?" Lita questioned.

Endymion turned to face the young woman with long brown hair in a ponytail and said, "Apparently, this whole day has felt familar some how and I can't even place my finger on it."

The two women faced Prince Endymion and was surprised that it had felt familar to Prince Endymion and his staff as well and not just them.

Serena's students looked very confused at what the Prince and Ms. Tsukino's friends were talking about.

"Your majesty, the parents of the students of Ms. Serena Tsukino will be here tomorrow to pick them up." Jadeite said.

"Thank you, Jadeite." Endymion said.

"You're welcome, your majesty." Jadeite said.

"Jadeite, I have a feeling that we will need to double sercurity." Endymion stated.

Jadeite was shocked that his highness had said this ; but Prince Endymion probably had a reason for it, so he didn't ask why they needed to double sercurity. However, he could see that Prince Endymion was on edge for some reason and he never left the young woman's side day or night. So he immedately went to go double security on Prince Endymion's orders even though it was a statement.

Endymion sat down in the chair that was next to the bed and took a hold of Serena's hand and said, "Ms. Tsukino, your students are worried about you and so am I. I don't know if you can hear me, but for some reason this seems so familar to me and I'm not sure what to do about it. To see you like this, Serena it brings an uncomfortable feeling in my heart and the staff of my castle can feel it as well. Your friends feel it as well it seems."

Lita and Ami had still been in the room and were shocked that Prince Endymion was very concerned for their friend laying there on that bed; however, they couldn't shake the feeling that he cared deeply for Serena which was oddly familiar to them. So Lita and Ami decided to leave the room because they figured that Serena would be okay with Prince Endymion.

"Serena, please understand that I'm worried about you and I know that we really just met in my private rose garden; but in a strange way, I have a strange feeling that we were suppose to meet that way if that even makes any sense. Your students were telling me about how much you love to paint beautiful pictures and they said that you may have painted a copy a painting that's in my study and I don't care because I'm sure it's beautiful like you." Endymion said.

Serena's necklace flickered a little at Endymion's words and he noticed it; he wondered why her necklace would flicker like that then he was asleep.

~In the past~

Serenity and Endymion were in Prince Endymion's private rose garden talking with each other when Lita and Nephrite found them and told them what Rei had seen as well as fore told. They wondered what the royal couple had been talking about when they had approached them; then both Serenity and Endymion heard some shuffling in the trees.

"Who's there?" Endymion questioned with his sword drawn.

Lita and Nephrite were about to join them when they heard, "Sorry, to surprise you, Prince Endymion and Princess Serenity."

"How do you know me as well as Serenity?" Endymion asked curiously still holding his sword.

The two figures climbed down out of the trees; they looked like cats.

"Artemis, I think we better change back into our human form." The black cat said.

The white cat just nodded.

In a bright light, the two cats were engulfed and then when the light died down, a woman and a man were in their place.

The woman spoke first, "I'm Luna and this is Artemis, we were royal advisors to Princess Serenity's mother."

"Do to a situation that has arose, Queen Serenity which is Princess Serenity's mother sent her here without us knowing." Artemis said.

"We are just glad that Princess Serenity is safe with you, Prince Endymion." Luna said.

Endymion nodded then said, "I'm afraid that there may be a war here very soon but I will keep Serenity safe."

Luna and Artemis were shock to hear this.

"Luna?" Serenity said.

"Yes, Princess Serenity?" Luna said.

"What has happened to the Silver Millenuim?" Serenity asked curiously.

Endymion was curious as well because he would've loved to have met Serenity's mother.

"The Silver Millenuim Kingdom has fallen and the enemy plans to come here." Luna said sadly.

Endymion turned to face Serenity only see her starting to cry. He immedately wrapped his arms around her and held her close to him trying to calm her down. Luna nad Artemis were stunned to see that Prince Endymion of the Elysion Golden Kingdom was comforting their Princess who had just recieved horrible news.

"Luna? Artemis? Is there anything else that we should know?" Lita asked stepping out with Nephrite from their hiding place.

"Yes, the enemy has some how gotten a hold of Queen and her daughter and turned them evil." Luna said.

"What are their names?" Endymion asked fearing the worst.

"Queen Metaria and Princess Beryl." Artemis stated.

Serenity stopped crying and looked into Prince Endymion's eyes worriedly. He realized that Serenity was coming to the same conclusion that he was and that was that Queen Materia and her daughter had already been taken over by the enemy when they had visited a few weeks ago. And the phrase that was still fresh in Endymion's and Serenity's mind was, 'You'll regret this, Prince Endymion!'
Artemis and Luna noticed that both Prince Endymion and Princess Serenity were worried terribly about something. They wondered what it was and both Nephrite and Lita noticed their reaction as well.

"Luna, how did you and Artemis get here?" Serenity asked.

"Your mother sent us before the kingdom fell." Luna said.

Endymion still held Serenity close to him and then he put his sword away since Luna and Artemis meant no harm to him or Serenity; but he still wasn't letting go of Serenity because he understood the pain she was going thru because he went thru the same pain of losing his parents.

Luna and Artemis watched as Prince Endymion walked with Princess Serenity comforting her.

"Luna, what's going on?" Artemis asked.

"I don't know." Luna answered.

"We do though." Lita said as her and Nephrite walked out of their hiding place .

"Lita?!" Luna said.

"Are the others here as well?" Artemis asked.

Lita nodded at Artemis to let him know that they were here except for the outer guardians. Then Lita said to answer Artemis's earlier question, "Prince Endymion has been taking care of Serenity ever since she arrived here in the Elysion Golden Kingdom and has never left her side unless she wanted to have a private conversation with one of us."

"We also think that they have fallen in love with each other." Nephrite said.

"The guards have been doubled due to what had happened when Queen Metaria and her daughter, Princess Beryl when they were here last week because of the threat that Queen Metaria made." Lita said.

"Since Endymion and Serenity have become closer to each other and have probably fallen in love with each other; we will have to break into pairs to watch over them." Luna stated.

"The first pair to watch over them will be you and Nephrite." Artemis said to Lita.

"We've already been doing that and the next pair to watch them is Rei and Jadeite." Lita said.

"But we do give them their space from time to time. However, we do stay close by just in case they need us." Nephrite said.

Artemis and Luna were shocked that the others were way ahead of them.

"So explain to us what exactly is going on here, please?" Luna asked.

Rei and Jadeite followed after Endymion and Serenity while Lita and Nephrite filled Luna and Artemis in on what was going on.

~Inside the Palace~

Endymion and Serenity were in the Art Room. Endymion was curious as to why Princess Serenity wanted to come in here. He watched as she set-up an esael with a canvas and started painting a picture; he walked over to where she was seated and he was surprised that she was painting a painting of their first meeting then she did the same meeting with him being the same and she was wearing something completely different. He wondered if this might have to do with something that will happen to them in future or could it be from the vision that they were told about that Rei had seen.

~In the future~

Kunzite brought one of the paintings that was in his study while Mina had brought two more. Prince Endymion took the one that had two different scenes on it from Mina; when he did he heard the students gasp in shock as they saw the picture.

"That's impossible?!" Royce said in shock.

"What's impossible?" Mina questioned.

"Look at the painting!" Rene said.

Endymion, Kunzite and Mina looked at the painting and were shocked to see that on one side of the painting was Prince Endymion's and Princess Serenity's meeting in his private rose garden and then right beside it was Prince Endymion meeting Serena Tsukino in the same private rose garden.

"Oh my gosh!" Mina said suddenly.

"How's this possible, your majesty?" Kunzite questioned.

"I don't know." Endymion said.

The others rushed into the room when they heard the commotion and were surprised to see the shocked look on everyone's face when they turned to see the painting that Prince Endymion was holding.

"I don't believe it!" Ember said.

"What is it, miss?" Endymion asked curiously.

"That painting looks exactly like the painting that Ms. Tsukino painted about a year ago." Ember said.

"That's not possible because these paintings have been here a long time." Kunzite said.

Ember and some of the students told Prince Endymion about the paintings that their teacher did and they had asked about them. She had told them that the paintings were like from a dream or memory. As Endymion listened to what these children were saying; the palace was beginning to prepare itself for an attack. Then a few minutes later, a light was shooting out of the pendant which was catching the four men and women off guard as well as the Prince and the palace was beginning to feel some what familar to them and they started to remember in glipses of something that had happened here a long time ago.

~Back in the past~

Serenity and Endymion were on there way back inside the palace when they were suddenly attacked out of the blue. Serenity screamed as she saw Prince Endymion killed in front of her; she wasn't sure what to due. However, Serenity's protectors as well as Endymion's protectors heard the scream that they ran but they were too late. They arrived to see the golden and silver crystals glowing above the Prince and the Princess; apparently the Princess had taken the sword of the Prince and took her life to join the Prince.

The four guardians/protects of the Princess and the four guardians/protectors secretly hoped that their Prince and their Princess would meet each other again. The crystals must of heard them because suddenly they were all surrounded in a golden-silver light after they had managed to defeat the enemy.

~Back to the Present~

Ember and her fellow students were looking at the art that Kunzite when Royce shouted, "LOOK!" while pointing at Prince Endymion and their teacher, Ms. Tsukino."

Everyone was in shock as a golden-silver light surround Serena and Prince Endymion as well as everyone in the palace with exception of the tour guide and the students.

"What's going on?!" Ariadne asked curiously.

"We don't know." Jacy stated.

"What's with the golden-silver light all of sudden?" Zora asked.

"Who knows?" Flora said.

"Look! The golden-silver light is disappearing." Fiona stated.

When the light died down; Ariadne and the students of Silver Crystal High were in shock to see Prince Endymion in armor like suit instead of what he was wearing earlier then they saw Ms. Serena Tsukino on the bed wearing a silver white dress adorn with golden moon crescents along with what appeared to be a silver white beaded crown with a golden moon crescent in the middle along with her pendant. On top of that, they saw the four men dress exactly like the Prince in some way and Ms. Tsukino's friends were dressed like her in some way.

"OH MY GOSH!" Ember said in shock.

"What is it, Ember?" Fiona asked.

"They look exactly like the people in the painting now." Ember said.

Ariadne gasped as she realized that Ember was right but it seemed impossible.

Endymion opened his eyes and looked at the young the young woman and said, "Serenity?"

Serena's eyes began to open as she turned her head to face the male and said, "Endymion?"

Serena's students gasped in shock because their teacher acted like she knew Prince Endymion.

"It would seem that my memories have returned to me now that we are together once again." Endymion said.

"Mine have returned as well, Endymion." Serena said.

"Your majesties?" Kunzite questions.

Both Serena and Endymion looked at Kunzite that said, 'Yes?'

"It seems that things have changed." Kunzite stated.

"That may be but it seems that our memories have returned of our past. The Prophcey has come to pass." Endymion said.

Serena smiled and said, "The only difference is that I'm a teacher now and exactly my royal self like in the past."

Endymion turned to Serenity and said, "I still love you just the same, Serenity."

Everyone was confused with the expection of Endymion's men and Serena's friends.

"Your majesties, if our memories are back then their memories are back as well (referring to Beryl and her mother)." Mina said.

"That's why the guards were doubled." Zoisite said.

"Um...excuse me?" Ariadne questioned.

Serena turned towards the tour guide that was standing with her students and said, "The past is about to repeat itself."

Endymion knew what Serenity was talking about but he wasn't going to lose her again; plus he knew that Serenity wouldn't want to lose him again. He figured that he would do something that Beryl and her mother wouldn't expect.

"Sorry, your majesties but the children's parents are here to get them." Dru said.

Endymion smiled and said, "Dru, show the parents to the rooms of each child because they will be staying at the palace considering the past is about to repeat itself."

"Yes, your highness." Dru said.

"What's going on?" Ember asked.

Serenity was picking up on what Prince Endymion was getting at and said, "My students and their families along with Ariadne, the tour guide as well as Andrew will be attending a secret royal wedding tonight."

Everyone was shocked to hear that.

"How is that going to be possible?" Jacy asked curiously.

Serenity and Endymion explained everything to everyone; so no one would be confused. Also, they decided to contact the outer protectors of the Silver Millenuim Kingdom to let them know what was going on.

~Meanwile~

Beryl and her mother had gotten their memories while they were eating in a cafe about a few miles from the palace that they had been escorted from.

"Mother, I remember our past." Beryl stated.

"So do I, my daughter." Metria said.

"Then we must do away with Lady Serenity once again." Beryl said.

"Yes and Prince Endymion will marry you my daughter." Metria said.

The two woman laughed.

However, they were unaware that Prince Endymion and Princess well Lady Serenity had planned a secret private wedding with those closest to them.

~Back at the Palace~

...In Prince Endymion's Study...

Endymion was sitting in his study going over some things for his and Serenity's secret wedding. He was telling Lita and Nephrite exactly what was to go on the wedding cake because he knew that his Serenity trusted Lita and Nephrite with their wedding cake because they both loved to cook in a way. Amy and Zoisite were handling the modern aspects of the wedding while Mina and Kunzite handled his and Serenity's wedding attire. Rei and Jedeite were handling the music.

He also knew that the outer protecters wanted to help; but he wasn't sure what they would want to help with once they got here to the palace. He continued working on a surprise that he had for Serenity since they were back together in each other's lives. Once he had finished with what he was doing; he decided to go to the rose garden that was his own private garden.

...In the Private Rose Garden...

Serenity was out in the secret rose garden and Mina was with her.

"Princess Serenity, are you upset?" Mina asked curiously.

"No, Mina, I'm not upset. I'm glad to have my memories back. Plus, it's going to take me some time to getting usse to be called Princess or Lady Serenity again." Serena said.

"You and Endymion are planning to get married right now; even though, Beryl and her mother have probably recovered their memories as well." Mina said.

"It may be the only way, Mina." Serena stated.

"Endymion and I had figured that if we ever met again that we would meet here in his private rose garden again." Serena stated.

"And we did, Serenity." Endymion said walking up behind her.

"Endymion?" Serena said.

"Hmm?" Endymion said.

"I'm glad to be with you once again, Endymion." Serena said.

"I feel the same way, Serenity." Endymion said.

"Endymion, how many days was I asleep for?" Serena asked.

"Almost 33 days, my love." Endymion stated.

Serena smiled and said, "Wow, I guess it took me a while for me to recover my memories of our past together."

"It did but it felt familiar to me the entire time and even the rest of the staff of palace along with Dr. Andrew Hansford it was like we were experienacing something once again that happened before." Endymion stated.

"Darien...I mean Endymion, I'm just glad to be back with you." Serena said.

"Serenity, you are the only one allowed to called me Darien which is my middle name." Endymion chuckled.

Serena blushed and said, "Okay."

Mina smiled happily at the royal couple; when Kunzite came walking up quickly to them and told them that every thing was in place for their secret wedding. Endymion and Serenity nodded and the departed from each other to go get ready for their big day sort of speak.

...In the Greart Hall...

A priest was standing there waiting with the Prince and his four guardians were waiting for the Princess and her guardians.

Suddenly, soft beautiful music began to play then the girls came first before the Princess down the isle. Prince Endymion was in awe as Serenity was coming down the isle exscorted by the her outer guardians.

Serena's students and their families thought that this was the most beautiful thing that they were watching. They continued to watch as well as hear what their teacher was saying to the Prince.

The ceremony turned out beautifully as well; however, Endymion and Serenity knew that they were going to have to defeat Beryl and her mother some how as they headed to the reciption.

"Wow, I can't believe that our teacher was Lady Serenity this whole time!" Zora said.

"Don't you mean, Princess Serenity?" Jacy said.

The parents were in complete shock that their children's teacher was a princess.

"They make a good couple." Ember said.

"This is a lot to take in." Sabina stated.

"I know, but at least Ms. Tsukino or should I say Mrs. Shields is happy being with the man that she loves." Amaya said.

"Well, I guess now we know why our teacher loved history." Roka stated.

"Yeah, because she was a Princess in her past life and her paintings were a refelection of her past life with Prince Endymion." Vance said.

The wedding ceremoney was beautiful and a little short considering that a war was about to begin.

~Outside the palace grounds~

People noticed that there was extra security around the palace and they wondered what was going on. They could see shield, armor, swords along with modern day weapons being placed every where around the palace. It looked like the palace was preparing for war all of a sudden and they weren't sure why the palace was on such a high alert.

Then a man came out with a woman and said, "You all need to get to a safe place immedately!"

The people just stared at them and was going to laugh until they heard a loud explosion; then the people took off running for safety close to the palace.

A silver-golden light was cast over the places that were close to the palace protecting those who sought out safety in the buildings near the palace.

The people in the safety of the buildings looked out the windows of the building that they were in and saw an army approaching lead by two women that had a killing intent.
