*Disclaimer*
     I don't own Sailor Moon. All characters (Except for a few) are the property of 
the great Naoko Takeuchi and the companies that own Sailor Moon. Only the 
story and new characters are mine. In other words... Please don't sue me! I have 
nothing of great value. This is a story based on a well known fairy tale. No not 
'Snow White' some other well know fairy tale. To find out what fairy tale you might 
have to read the what happens at the end of this chapter.

    Hi! I'm Sailor Stardust and this is my first attempt at writing a completed fanfic. 
So please be kind. This is a story I decided to write after reading a lot of other 
people's fairy tale based stories. Also for this story may I suggest you read my 
Author's Notes before reading this. Cause I've added new characters and one 
new power for each of the senshi. My notes will describe all new attacks and 
characters. Note that I've used dubbed names along with new names. Also that 
I've used the word senshi instead of scouts. One because I'm use to the dubbed 
names plus it would be weird to use english and japanese names. Two I like the 
word senshi better than scouts. So if I haven't frightened you away or bored you 
away you can read my story now.

    Once apon a moonkingdom. There were preparations being made in the throne 
room for the presentation of the newborn princess of the moon, Princess Selenity. 
The preparations how been going fine until the royal advisers discovered that they 
had run out of table placements. They then sent the page, Thomas, to fetch the 
king and queen. Thomas searched the whole palace, but he couldn't find them. 
So he went into the gardens to look for them. He found King Cyrus, Queen 
Serenity, and Princess Selenity at the center of the garden.

      "Your Majesty."

      "Yes? What is it?" asked Cyrus.

      "We seem to have a problem with the guest list." Thomas replied.

      "Oh, dear." gasped Serenity "What's wrong with it?"

      "Well, your Highness. I'm not really sure." he told them. "Although, I think 
you might want to settle this matter right away."

      "Of course we will!" Cyrus stated. "We wouldn't want to offend any of our 
guests."

      "We'll settle this right now." said Serenity. "Please lead the way Thomas."

    Thomas lead King Cyrus, Queen Serenity, and Princess Selenity, who was in 
Serenity's arms, to the throne room. As soon as they entered the room the two 
people confronted them. One was a woman. She had long wavy purple blue hair 
and was wearing a yellow dress with black flowers. The other person was a man.  
He had long white hair, though not as long as his partner's, and was wearing a 
gray tunic. The woman was the first to speak.

      "Serenity! Cyrus! You have probably heard of the news." Luna inquired.

      "Yes, it is definitely a problem." Artemis continued. "We don't have another 
silver plate and crystal glass"

      "But doesn't that only mean one of the guests won't have a silver plate or 
crystal glass." said Serenity.

      "I'm afraid that's not all." Luna replied. "We also ran out of seats for your 
guests."

      "And we can't ask someone to stand up during the -whole- ceremony." 
Artemis pointed out.

      "No, I guess we can't." sighed Serenity.

      "Well, then." Cyrus said. "I suppose the most logical thing to do would be to 
take off on of our guest."

    Luna asked Thomas to go get the guest list for them to check it and decide 
who to not invite. It took a while, but they were finally down to the last names. 
The names included the queens of the solar planets. Who are also the queen's 
senshi.

      "What about Adrienne?" asked Cyrus.

      "No! We have to invite Adrienne." Serenity replied. "She's not only queen of 
Mercury, but she's one of my good friends."

      "Celeste?" asked Artemis.

      "No, Celeste isn't just Serenity's friend. She's the queen's -best- friend." Luna 
answered.

      "I know Briana is out." Artemis said. "We all know that she's very protective of 
you, Serenity. I doubt she'll be able to stay away."

      "Nor Queen Lorriane." added Luna. "She's just as protective as Briana, if not 
more!"

      "How about Marina?" asked Cyrus.

      "No. Lorriane would -kill- us if we didn't invite Marina." Serenity replied.

      "Oriana?" Luna asked

      "No. Remember Luna. Queen Oriana is the head of the queen's senshi." 
Artemis reminded Luna.

      Luna blushed. Then replied. "Oh! Of course, I forgot that for a moment."

      "Okay. Now we've only three names left." Cyrus told them. "Dysis, Gabrielle, 
and Malia."

      "Dysis knows about the past, present, and future." Cyrus continued. "She'll 
probably already know about the presentation."

      "And I wouldn't want to hurt her feelings." Serenity said.

      "Queen Gabrielle is very powerful. She is almost equal in power as Serenity." 
Luna stated. "So she wouldn't be one to anger."

      "Then what about Malia? Funny, I've never heard of her." Artemis inquired

      "Nor have I. Come to think of it." Luna added. "I don't believe I ever came 
across the name until today."

      "So what do you think?" Cyrus asked Serenity. "Do you think we should take 
Malia off the guest list?"

      "I guess so. I just hope she doesn't take it personally." sighed Serenity.

      "Don't worry your Majesty." Luna comforted. "It's all for the best."

     After the matter was settled everyone went on with their business. Thomas 
went to send the invitations out to the guests. Luna and Artemis went back to 
supervising the preparations for the throne room. While Cyrus, Serenity, and 
Selenity went back to the gardens.

    Two weeks later. The day of Princess Selenity's presentation has arrived. The 
throne room had been decorated for the occasion. The throne room was always 
splendid. With it's high white marbled walls with it's array of pink, blue, green, 
yellow, purple, and silver mix. The tiled floor, in a marbled pastel pink, was set in a 
rosy looking pattern. Today the throne room had been decorated with wreaths of 
exotic flowers of the same colors as the marble's. There were blue ice lilies, pink 
fire snaps, green thunder magnolias, yellow chains of love bloomers, purple 
ringed orchids, and the most abundant flower used. Was the red rose of earth. 
Cyrus and Serenity were very fond of the earth's flower symbol of love.

    A black cat and a white cat are sitting outside in the gardens. They seem to be 
having a conversation.

      "So Luna. Are you ready for the presentation?" asked Artemis.

      "Of course. I'm always prepared." she replied "What about you Artemis?"

      "Oh, I'm ready. I just hope nothing goes wrong."

      "Don't worry Artemis. I'm sure nothing will happen."

    Later that day the queen's senshi began to arrive. Luna and Artemis, in human 
form, were greeting the senshi as they were entering. The first of the senshi to 
arrive was Queen Briana. She was wearing a sleeve-less forest green evening 
gown, trimmed with gold. Her waist length brown hair had been put up into a bun, 
which made her dark green eyes more noticeable.

      "Welcome Queen Briana." greeted Luna. "You're the first to arrive."

      "Well, that figures." Artemis muttered. "She's so protective of the queen."

      "Shush!" Luna reprimand.

      "Please, just call me Briana. I thought we decide that we weren't going to be 
so formal." said Briana.

      "We did. Luna just forgot we did." replied Artemis.

      "Anyway. Where's Serenity?" asked Briana.

      "Serenity's waiting for you in the meeting chamber." answered Luna.

      "Thank you Luna. I really would like to speak with her before the 
presentation." she told them.

    Briana then went to talk to Serenity. The next to arrive was Queen Lorriane and 
Queen Marina. Lorriane had on a long sleeved navy blue dress, the ended at right 
above her knees, with a yellow sash around the waist. Lorriane had sandy blonde 
hair, that was cut above her shoulders and green eyes, not as dark as Briana's of 
course. Her best friend, Marina, had long wavy aqua colored hair. It had been 
braided halfway while the rest fell softly down her back. Her blue eyes shone with 
elegance and beauty. Marina was wearing a blue gown that reached to the floor. 
Her gown straps hang on her arms right below her shoulders. The waist of the 
gown had been decorated with white lilies.

      "Lorriane! Marina! We're so glad you could make it." said Artemis.

      "We're happy we made it." Marina replied.

      "Where's Cyrus?" Lorriane asked. "I want to talk to him about the lack of 
security around here."

      "Lorriane? Why don't you just talk to Artemis about it later?" Luna asked. 
"After all he is in charge of the palace's security."

      "Yes, Lorriane. We should visit King Cyrus and Queen Serenity first." Marina 
suggested.

      "They're waiting in the meeting chamber." Artemis told them.

      "Thank you, Artemis." said Marina.

      "We'll talk about the security after the presentation Artemis." Lorriane told 
Artemis.

    They also left, just as Briana had, to meet with the king and queen.

      "Hello Luna. Artemis."

    Luna and Artemis jumped in surprise. They turned around to find Dysis 
standing behind them.

      "Dysis!" screamed Luna and Artemis.

    Dysis had dark mahogany colored eyes and -dark- green hair, that reached 
midway down her back. Her hair had been done in a French braid with a few 
tresses hanging out. She was wearing a dark red evening gown with short 
sleeves. It was trimmed with black lace.

      "You frightened us." Luna told her. "You could have warned us you were 
there."

      "Yeah, instead of sneaking up on us."

      "I apologize for that." Dysis replied. "It's a habit."

      "Well, anyway. I'm sure Serenity will be pleased to see you." Luna said. "She's 
waiting in the--"

      "Yes, I know she's waiting in the meeting chamber. Thank you."

    After Dysis left Artemis said, "That's Dysis for you. She knows practically 
everything!"

    Well, Luna couldn't argue with that statement. After Dysis came Celeste. She 
was wearing a short, sleeve-less low cut purple dress that ended up at mid thigh. 
the dress had red beads sewn into the fabric. Her long raven black hair fell 
loosely down her back. Celeste had beautiful dark violet eyes that could probably 
burn straight into your soul.

      "Hello, Artemis. Luna."

      "Hello Celeste." replied Artemis.

      "Greetings Celeste. How are you?"

      "I'm fine. Although the trip to get here was tough. But I wasn't about to delay 
me." Celeste answered. "I would never miss the presentation of Serenity's 
daughter.

      "Although I wish I could have brought Raychelle."

      "Yes, I believe all the senshi would of liked to bring their daughters." Artemis 
inquired. "Though the trip would have tired them out"

      "It really would have been nice if Selenity could have met her senshi." said 
Luna. "It would have given them an earlier chance at becoming friends."

      "Did Lorriane, Marina, or Dysis bring their children?"

      "No. I believe it was on account of the distance. After all their planets are the 
farthest for the moon." Luna told her.

      "Not to mention they're still only one year old." added Artemis.

      "Well, I better go find Serenity." Celeste said "Care to point me in the right 
direction?"

      "Of course. She's in the meeting chamber." answered Artemis.

      "Thank you Artemis. I'll see you both later."

    Right after Celeste left, a woman with long, dark purple hair entered. Her hair 
had been pulled into a half pony tail, with a purple sequined clip. She was wearing 
a long sleeved black gown, that reached her ankles, with purple sequins. Her 
eyes were a darker violet then Celeste. The woman had an alura of someone with 
great power.

      "Gabrielle! You look absolutely marvelous" Luna cried.

      "Thank you Luna."

      "How have you been doing?" Artemis asked.

      "Fine. I'm still waiting for a daughter though." she told them. "I feel as if I'm 
missing out on something important."

      "Don't worry Gabrielle. I'm sure you'll be blessed with a daughter soon."

      "I hope so. Anyway how is Serenity?"

      "She's really been happy since she's had Selenity." Luna told her. "Maybe 
you'd like to visit Selenity before you go talk to Serenity."

      "Yes. That's would be nice. Where is she?"

      "Selenity is in the bed chambers, third one down the right of the hall." Artemis 
pointed in the directions of the chambers.

      "Thank you Luna, Artemis!" Gabrielle called out as she disappeared around a 
corner.

      "Good day Gabrielle!" said a voice around the corner, of which Gabrielle had 
disappeared.

    Gabrielle saw someone with short blue black hair standing a few feet away 
from her. The person was a woman. She was wearing a sky blue evening dress 
with pearls sewn around the waist and neck line. Her hair was held back by two, 
blue tear shaped decorated, clips. The outfit complimented her deep blue eyes.

      "Hello Adrienne." she greeted. "I thought you we're coming with Oriana?"

      "I was. But you know her." sighed Adrienne. "She's always late for 
everything."

      "I know." Gabrielle replied as she recalled a few of the times the blonde hair 
senshi had been late for something. "Why is she late this time?"

      "It seems that she forgot the incantation for her present, for Selenity." she 
answered. "Or so she says. I think she was going to change into something more 
suitable for the presentation."

      "Oh really. How could you tell?"

      "Well, what really gave it away was when she came to meet me in her senshi 
uniform. I believe she mixed up the dates for the presentation. She thought today 
was the senshi meeting and tomorrow would be the presentation."

      "That Oriana! Won't she ever learn?" laughed Gabrielle.

      "I don't think she will ever change." smile Adrienne. "But then again I don't 
want her to."

      "I think everyone would agree with you an that. I know I do"

      "I think so too. But I guess I should go tell Luna that Oriana will be late." 
Adrienne said. "Do you mind telling me where she is?"

      "No. Not at all. She's just around the corner." Gabrielle answered.

      "Thank you. I will meet you later in the..."

      "Meeting Chamber."

      "Oh, of course. Good bye Gabrielle!"

      "Good bye Adrienne!"

    Everyone has made it to the presentation, except Oriana who was -very- late. 
After all the reading of rights, loyalty, et cetera, et cetera... The guest presented to 
the royal family, of the moon, gifts. The senshi's presents were magical gifts of 
things such as, strength, grace, intelligence, courage, beauty, and such.

    Oriana bursted though the doors just as the last gift was given. Oriana's blonde 
hair fell down across her shoulders. Her short red dress looked great considering 
her mad rush over. She had china blue eyes that shone with apologies towards 
Serenity for being late.

      "Am I too late to present my gift?" asked a breathless Oriana.

      "No, in fact you made it just in time." Briana told her.

      "Yes, luckily for you I just finished presenting my gift." Lorianne told her.

      "Good, that means I can still give my gift to Selenity."

      "Well? What are you waiting for? Selenity's 10th birthday. Go on!" Urged 
Celeste.

    Just as Oriana reached Selenity the throne room's doors blasted open and 
windows shattered into the room. Then a burst of black smoke appeared in of the 
middle of the room. Out of the smoke came Malia. She was beautiful, with her 
black hair, green eyes, and pale skin, but her soul was filled with evil. Malia was 
dress in the usual black garments of an evil sorceress. She started walking up to 
the moon princess.

      "Uranus World Shaking!"

      "Jupiter Thunderclap Zap!"

    When Malia had arrived all the queen's senshi had automatically transformed, 
while the other guests ran in terror out of the room. The senshi started throwing 
their attacks at her as soon as they had finished transforming. Uranus and Jupiter 
had been the first to transform.

      "You think you can defeat me!" screamed Malia as she side-stepped the 
attacks. The attacks collided with the walls behind her. "You have no idea who 
you're dealing with.

      "I am the Great Sorceress of Earth, Malia."

      "Yeah? Well, we don't care. Even if you were the Queen of the Earth." Mars 
replied. "We still won't let you get away with this."

      "Bursting through the doors in the middle of a ceremony is bad conduct." 
Mercury claimed. "And that is a bad example to set for the princess of the moon."

      "Ur... Mercury? Shouldn't you be worried about what she's going to do." 
Venus told her.

      "I doubt you could change what was done. You really should be concerned 
about her next course of action." was Pluto's reply.

      "Enough with the chit chat!" Malia yelled. "You're interfering with my plan."

      "Well, whatever you're plan is, we won't let it get carried out. Neptune Deep 
Submerge!"

      Malia dodged the attack with ease and it continued on to destroy another wall. 
"Is that the best you can manag--"

    While she had been talking Saturn had managed to hit her with an attack. But 
Malia didn't sway much under the attack. If fact she was beginning to look very 
annoyed with their failing attempts.

      "I'm not here for a fight." Malia said. 

      "To bad, you've got one." Jupiter replied.

      "You know you can't win."

      "What makes you so sure?" Pluto said. "The coming of events is not 
something you can predict."

      "Well, you haven't had a taste of my power yet. now have you."

    Even before she finished her sentence she sentence she had sent two balls of 
energy at them. Uranus, Jupiter, Venus, Pluto, Neptune, and Mars had managed 
to dodge her attacks. But Saturn and Mercury weren't so lucky. They were blasted 
into the walls.

      "You're not getting away with hurting my friends!" yelled Jupiter.

      "Ditto." Venus claimed

      "Jupiter Thunder Crash!"

      "Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"

      "You heard what they said." Neptune told Uranus. "Let's back them up!"

      "You've got it!"

      "Neptune Deep Submerge!"

      "Uranus World Shaking!"

      "And that goes double for me." Mars added.

      "We're not going to allow you to continue on destroying." Pluto said.

      "Mars Celestial Fire Surround!"

      "Pluto Dead Scream." whispered Pluto

    All of their attacks combined a headed straight at Malia. Fortunately for the 
senshi it hit her. Unfortunately she had dodged enough of the attack so it hadn't 
hurt her much.

      "Dang! How did she dodge that!" Jupiter said. "It should have been a direct 
hit."

      "She's quick." Neptune claimed. "Quicker then us."

      "Now do you surrender? Or do I have to do some more convincing?" asked 
Malia.

      "We will not forfeit to you." Mercury replied. "You can't make us surrender. 
Ever!"

    Saturn and Mercury had finally regained conscious after being blasted into the 
walls. Malia's reply to that was to blast Neptune and Jupiter into the walls.

      "Neptune! Jupiter!" screamed Uranus. "That's it. You've asked for it."

      "Uranus Sky Quake!"

    Energy started collecting in front of her when it had collected enough it formed 
into three sun-like symbols. They started at Malia together then spreaded farther 
apart. Soon they came at her from three different directions. Malia threw an attack 
at the symbols. Her attack hit two of the energy symbols. So one of the masses of 
energy hit her.

      "Oh yeah! We could use our new attacks." Venus reminded everyone. "We 
just got them, remember."

      "Right! It's time to teach this earth sorceress who's boss!" said Mars

      "Mars Fire Burst!"

    A large ring of fire appears out of nowhere and surrounds Mars. It then bursts 
and heads towards Malia. Who tries to dodge the attack, but the fire just moves 
towards her new location. It hits her at her new spot.

      "Mercury Ice Glaciat--"

      "Sorry, but I'm going to have to cut this one short." Malia interrupted Mercury.

    Malia then trapped the senshi in five domes of energy. Since they had 
scattered after her first attack. So as not to be in one spot should Malia have 
attacked them again.

      "Now. Serenity, Cyrus. As you know I was not invited to this little ceremony."

      "Well, we had ran out of--" began Artemis.

      "Silence! I do not want to hear of your excuses."

      "Listen we apologize for not inviting you." Luna said. "Why don't we just be 
reasonable."

      "It's too late for reason!" she screamed. "Now out of my way."

    Not waiting for a reply she blasted Luna and Artemis out of her way. Straight 
into the wall. She then approached the king and queen.

      "I see you seem to have a great liking for red roses." said Malia as she looked 
around at the remains of the crushed and burnt roses.

      "What does that have to do with anything?" asked Cyrus.

      "Why my dear king. It has everything to do with this." Malia said with a 
sickenly sweet voice. "My my. Is this Selenity? I'm sure she would have grown up 
to be a beautiful young woman."

      "What do you mean -would have-? What are you going to do to her?" Serenity 
asked.

      "You'll see. Oh you'll see." she replied. "On her 13th birthday. The princess of 
the moon will be given a red rose."

      "What's wrong with getting a red rose? If this is a joke..." Cyrus said

      "Oh there's more to it then that. You see your little princess will prick herself." 
continued Malia. "Now here's the big finish. Selenity will DIE!!!"

      "No!" gasped Serenity. "No! Please can't we talk this over."

      "Yes, I'm sure we might be able to work something out." begged the king.

      "No. The time for talking is over!" and with that Malia disappeared.

    When Malia disappeared the senshi had been set free. Serenity had collapsed 
into tears at the thought of her daughter's death. Cyrus tried to comfort his wife, 
but he too was upset of the previous events. Mars came up to Serenity, but even 
she could not change what was done. Nor was there a way to take away the 
curse. After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence. Venus spoke up.

      "Serenity. Cyrus. There is no way to keep the curse from happening -oof." 

      "Venus. Stop making it worst for them." Mars said after hitting Venus in the 
stomach.

      "I... wasn't... finished..." she managed to gasp out.

      "Well, what were you going to say?" asked Jupiter.

      "Yes, if you've figured a way to save Selenity. Then tell us." Neptune said.

      By now Venus had gotten her breath back. "Wait a second and I will tell you."

      "Hurry up! We don't have all eternity." replied Uranus.

      "Serenity? Cyrus?" Venus called.

      "Yes Oriana?" Cyrus asked. "What is it?"

      "I just wanted to say I'm sorry that there's nothing I can do to lift the curse." 
she said. "But there may be a way I can alter the curse. Seeing as I still have 
something left to gave."

      "Can you really do that?" asked Saturn. "Is that even possible?"

      "I believe it is." Mercury answered. "There may be a way to change the effects 
of the possible outcome of a curse."

      "Although someone must alter the curse in the form of a gift." Pluto continued. 
"And as you all know one can only give one magical gift per occasion."

      "But everyone's given Selenity her gift!" Uranus said.

      "Not true Uranus. Venus still hasn't given Selenity her gift." Neptune reminded 
her. "She never got the chance to."

      "True. That was my point." Venus, now back to Oriana, told them. "I don't think 
Malia realized there was a way to alter the spell."

      "So, you're telling me that there's a way to alter the curse so that Selenity 
won't die?" Cyrus asked.

      "I... remember... now!" said Serenity, who was recovering from crying. "Oriana 
please... save my daughter from... this curse."

      "Yes, of course Cyrus, Serenity." Oriana said. "My dear Selenity. Instead of 
fated death, you will meet with eternal sleep. Until your one true love awakens 
you with a kiss."

      "Serenity. Cyrus. Are you all alright?" Luna asked. "What did we miss?"

      "What happened?" Artemis asked.

    After telling the royal advisers all that had happened after they were knocked 
into the wall.

      Cyrus said. "We really need to talk about the lack of security later, Artemis."

      "See Artemis?" Lorianne told him. "I told you, you needed more security."
