EDIT: You will notice that the names I have for the Senshi are not the names they have in the anime. The reason behind this, is that I felt it was weird for Serenity to become Usagi, and Endymion to become Mamoru, but for the Senshi to have their modern-day names in the Silver Millennium. And I didn't want to just refer to them by their planet names. The names i have chosen are all related to their Senshi power.

Ami = Metis, goddess of wisdom

Makoto = Athena, godess of wisdom and war (I know it doesn't directly relate to her, but it fit better than anything else I could find)

Minako = Aphrodite, godess of love and beauty

Rei = Enyo, goddess of war

Haruka = Aura, godess of the wind

Michiru = Amphitrite, goddess of the sea

AN: Hello! This is an idea that I just couldn't get out of my head, and although I was planning to not start it until I finished my other Sailor Moon story, Changes, I got impatient. This story will take place entirely in the Silver Millennium, and it will be about (what else? ^_^) Endymion and Serenity's relationship. Obviously, there's very little information in the anime about the Silver Millennium, so the majority of this will just be what I've pictured. Anyways, I will do my best to update ASAP, but I do have two other fanfics Im currently working on, plus I'm supposedly still working on my novel. :P So be patient! Anyways, I hope you enjoy, and please review!

It was a bright, beautiful day, and sunlight streamed through the curtains in Princess Serenity's bedroom. With a happy sigh, she stretched and got out of bed, calling one of her handmaidens to help her bathe and dress. Today was going to be a good day, she just knew it. After she was clean and dressed, Serenity wandered outside to the gardens. She loved spending time there, they were her favorite part of the Palace. They had a gardener, of course, who tended for the plants, but Serenity had a small patch she made the gardener promise not to touch. It was just a small corner, since she didn't have time to tend for much more, but she loved it. It consisted of primarily roses, as they were her favorite flower. Serenity plucked a pale pink flower from the ground, inhaling deeply, absorbing the beautiful scent. She made a mental note to ask one of her handmaidens to make her some perfume out of some roses. These seemed to be particularly fragrant.

"Serenity, dear! Where are you?"

Serenity heard her mother calling for her, so she got up, brushing away the small amounts of pale dirt that clung to her dress.

"Over here, Mother!" Serenity called.

Queen Serenity walked over to where her daughter was, smiling. "There you are, dear. I wasn't sure if you were up yet, but I have some exciting news. The King of Mars will be visiting us soon, and we are to have a ball in his honor. Since you are nearly 16, I think it is time for you to come out into society, and this ball will be the perfect opportunity."

"Oh, really?" Serenity gasped. She had been awaiting her sixteenth birthday with little patience, as sixteen was the age when young girls generally made their entrance to society. She was tired of hanging around the Palace all day, with her guardians as her only company. Of course, they were also her best friends, so she didn't mind much, but she wanted to be able to attend balls, and to meet young men.

"In preparation you will need a new dress, of course," Queen Serenity said. "Go to the Royal Seamstress today for fittings, we don't have a moment to waste."

"This is so wonderful!" Serenity exclaimed. "Thank you, Mother."

Queen Serenity smiled at her daughter. "No need to thank me, dear, it gives me pleasure seeing you so happy. Your friends should be back from their mission soon. Go, find them and then start the work on your new dress."

Serenity curtsied slightly before running off to find her guardians and best friends. After a bit of searching she found them in the Palace courtyard, having their breakfast.

"Aphrodite! Enyo! Metis! Athena!" Serenity called out, breathless from her run.

"Princess Serenity!" Sailor Mars, also known as Princess Mars, or Enyo to her friends, jumped out of her chair. "Is something the matter?"

"No, not at all," Serenity said, gasping for a bit. "I just have some exciting news I simply have to share with you! The King of Mars will be visiting my mother soon, and we are to have a ball in his honor. And, since I am very nearly sixteen, I am to come out in society at this ball!"

"Oh, Serenity, that's wonderful!" Sailor Venus said. All four of Princess Serenity's guardians were princesses themselves. There was Princess Enyo of Mars, Princess Aphrodite of Venus, Princess Metis of Mercury and Princess Athena of Jupiter. They also transformed into Sailor Senshi when needed, to protect Serenity or go on missions, but it was generally a peaceful era, and there official role as guardians was mainly formality. They were Serenity's four closest friends and confidantes. Her only, really, seeing as she was a Princess, she never really played with the village children. And no one else at the Palace was her age. There were four other Senshi Princesses, but Serenity didn't know them half as well, as they weren't her personal guardians.

"I shall be happy to see my father again," Enyo said. Serenity knew that her friends must miss their parents terribly. The first princess of the four neighboring planets—Venus, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter—were destined to become the guardians of the Moon Princess, and were sent to live on the Moon shortly after they were born. Once they were old enough to understand their duty, at around ten years of age, they underwent an oath, where they could choose to serve their Princess, or return home to their own kingdoms, in which case a different girl would be sent. All four of Usagi's friends had accepted their duty without a second thought, even though it meant leaving behind their families and home planets.

"Anyways," Serenity said. "My mother has said I am allowed to have a new dress made for me, anything I like, in preparation for the ball! Since you will all be attending with me, you must get dressed made for you as well!"

"We don't need new dresses," Aphrodite said. "You're the star of the ball, Serenity."

"Oh, but please," Serenity pleaded. "It's not fair for me to get a new dress, and not you! I won't get one if you don't."

Athena laughed. "All right, Serenity, we'll get new dresses."

"Wonderful!" Serenity said, delighted. "Let's go! Mother said that we must visit the Royal Seamstress today, sing the King of Mars will be visiting quite soon."

Serenity nearly dragged them to the wing of the Palace where the Seamstress lived.

"Hamako!" Serenity called out, looking for the Royal Seamstress. She had know Hamako since she was a small child, and loved the woman dearly. Often when Serenity was little, and the Queen was too busy with business, she would wander over to Hamako's house, and the kindly old woman would let her play with the cloth.

"Princess Serenity," Hamako said, walking into the room and bowing respectfully. Serenity waved it off, as she always did, but it didn't stop people from bowing or curtsying to her. "What can I do for you today, Princess?"

"I'm to come out at the next ball!" Serenity exclaimed. "And Mother has said I need a new dress, as do Enyo, Aphrodite, Athena and Metis."

"That is wonderful news, Serenity!" Hamako said. "This definitely calls for an extraordinary dress. Comes, have a look at the fabrics and designs, and tell me what you like."

Hamako led them into the beg room, which was filled with bolts of cloth, drawing of various designs, and pre-made clothes on dummy's.

After lots of oohs and aahs, and much deliberation, it was decided. Serenity chose pure white silk as the material for her dress, with gold silk trimming, and pearls sewn in at the waistline. She decided on an empire wasted dress with capped sleeves and a flowing skirt, complete with layered ruffles. It was going to be perfect!

Athena chose forest green velvet in wrapped-bodice style, with a loose skirt that gave way to pale green silk underneath. Enyo's was a deep, fiery red silk dress with darn thin straps and a close fitting bodice, before turning into a full skirt. The basic style of the Lunarians was a tight fitting bodice, and then a loose skirt, but there were variations. Aphrodite chose golden yellow silk, which was to be arranged in the typical style of a tight bodice with a high waist, and then a loose, flowing skirt. But always the fashionable one, Aphrodite added ruffled sleeves, and layers and layers of ruffles in a paler yellow over top the rest of her skirt. Metis's dress was simple, a light blue silk with a draping bodice, and a modest skirt.

"You ladies will look wonderful," Hamako said. I will get these dresses done as possible!"

The girls thanked Hamako, and then left. By the time they left, it was midday, and the Earth was hanging in the sky, completely full.

"Oh, look at how beautiful the Earth looks!" Serenity said. "I've always wanted to visit Earth. All green and blue…" The Moon was a beautiful place, but it lacked a bit in color. There were some trees, and flowers, but most of the ground was the pale, fine dust that covered the entire surface of the Moon.

Serenity was too busy daydreaming about the Earth that she didn't notice the glance her guardians exchanged between themselves.

"I wonder if, now that I'm nearly sixteen and about to be out in society, Mother will let me take a trip to Earth," Serenity said. "I've never been anywhere but the Moon."

"I don't think that's a very good idea, Princess," Metis said.

"Why not?" Serenity asked. "I'm old enough now."

"Yes, but you see…" Athena said, looking over at Metis briefly. "I'm sure Queen Serenity would be happy to have you visit a different planet to expand your horizons."

"But what's wrong with Earth?" Serenity asked. "Earth's the place I've always wanted to visit."

"For a few years now, things have been tense between us and the Earth," Metis said. "And lately the tensions have been becoming stronger, and the once peaceful Earth has now started to turn its back on us. We don't know if anything will become of it, but we fear it may be war."

"War?" Princess Serenity gasped. "But… surely not!"

"I'm afraid so, Princess," Enyo said.

Serenity was in shock. Earth, the peaceful planet she had heard wonderful stories about, at war with the Moon? No, surely the Senshi were being overly cautious. Serenity spent the rest of the day with her friends and their tutors, pausing only briefly to have a luncheon with her mother, her mother's two most trusted advisors and Serenity's caretakers, Luna and Artemis, and some important people from court.

That evening, when the Senshi were called away for business, and Queen Serenity, Luna and Artemis were discussing the King of Mars' imminent arrival, Serenity snuck into the teleport room at the Palace. She had to see Earth for herself, it was something she had longed for since she was a small girl. She didn't believe that Earth was dangerous. And if no one would take her, she would simply have to go herself.

She had found a mostly empty sack of potatoes in the storeroom, and had taken the burlap sack, and grabbing a pair of scissors, cutting it into a basic shawl. She hoped it would properly hide the obvious extravagance of her finery. She didn't have any simple dresses, and she didn't want to stand out too much on Earth. Although she firmly believed that Earth couldn't have any animosity towards the Moon, she still didn't want someone recognizing her and telling her mother.

Serenity's heart was pounding in her chest as she looked at the teleport before her, clearly marked for Earth. Serenity stepped in, pushing the button on the console inside, grateful that she'd spend so much time exploring the Palace a child, and had observed many people using the teleport. She felt a warm, bright light wash over her body, and then it was gone. Serenity stepped outside, looking around the room. It seemed to be quite similar to the room she had just left, and for a moment Serenity wasn't sure if the teleport had worked, but then she saw that the teleport she had just exited read Moon instead of Earth. There was a door slightly ajar at the back of the room, and Serenity crept over to it, wanting to be outside. She was happy to discover that it led straight outside, and she could see a lake in the distance. Serenity ran outside and immediately took off her delicate slippers, delighted at the feel of the grass between her toes. She laughed in pure delight, wiggling her toes, and then ran down the hill to the lake. She could see the reflection of the moon in the lake, and she looked up, awed by the sight in front of her. She had never seen the Moon before, since she had spent all her life on it. The moon was luminescent in the sky, and seemed impossibly large. Serenity twirled around a little, and then dipped her toes in the water, loving every moment. She was on Earth! At last, her childhood dream had been fulfilled. Suddenly, a noise interrupted her revelry. The sound of many hooves hitting the ground, fast, and it was getting louder. Serenity dashed behind the nearest tree, anxious to see what happened next. Two young men rode in on horseback, both urging their horse faster and faster. There was a darker haired man, and a pale-haired man, The dark haired man broke ahead, and let out a cry as he reached the edge of the lake.

"Ha!" He said, turning around to face his companion. "Take that, Kunzite!"

The pale-haired man, who Serenity assumed to be Kunzite, shook his head. "You've gotten too good for me, my liege."

"Good game, though," the dark haired man said, smiling. "We really must do this more often!"

"Why, so I can have the shame of my pupil beating me again and again?" Kunzite asked. "No thanks."

"Pupil?" The other man said. "Please, Kunzite, you're only six years older."

"Yes, but you started learning when you were six, and since I was your first in command, and, dare I say it, one of the best horseman in the country, I trained you," Kunzite said. "And have taught you all you know about horseback riding."

"Fine, fine," the man waved his hand dismissively.

"We should get back to the Palace, my liege," Kunzite said. "It's getting quite late."

"You can go," the man said. "I'll catch up in a minute. I think the horses want a break, and quite frankly, I do, too."

"Very well," Kunzite said. He dismounted his horse, bowed slightly towards the mysterious man, and walked off into the distance. The mysterious man nudged his horse forward a bit, putting himself right in front of Serenity. Now that she could see him better, Serenity gasped. Bathed in moonlight, she could see his features clearly now. His hair wasn't just dark, it was black as midnight. It fascinated Serenity, as he shook his hair out of his eyes. No Lunarian had hair even close to that dark. His eyes were a piercing dark blue, his nose perfectly straight and sculpted, and his lips were curved upwards in a bit of a smile. He was the most handsome man Serenity had ever laid eyes upon.
