This world was a beautiful place. From it's surface glowed warmth and laughter, and yet, at the same time, was brutal and cold. Man kind, in this modern 30th Century, had not changed much from it's battles over pride and power. But a greater hope still remained, a hope lead by the King and Queen who reigned over this world. These new leaders kept the world from collapsing into a fait of darkness and greed. Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion banished the evils of thier society from Earth, and began a reighn of peace and prosparity. But one cold night, the two leaders, and lovers, were apart. And because of this, things seemed to be a little colder than usual... « Neo-Queen Serenity » As I stand on our balcony alone, a chilly breeze nipps at my skin... it seems so cold and lonley without him here. My teeth chatter as I gently rub my hands over my cold arms, crossed over eachother at my waist. It has been almost two weeks now since he held me.. since he whispered in my ear that he loves me.. since I was truly happy. I am not only feeling cold physically, but in my heart, also. He is my life, my soul, my everything, and I would never be able to survive without him at my side. I glance down at my left hand to see our wedding ring, so light and warm, so pure and true. It means so much to me. The white diamond sparkles in the moonlight as I slowly move my hand. Six years ago he gave this to me, and vowed to be forever with me, in life and in death. I miss him so incredibly much. In my woomb is our child of two months. The little one is what keeps me going through the day. Endymion and I are so happy that we are finaly going to have Chibi-Usa. We've been waiting impatiently for her for so long, and finally, our dream has come true. Endymion will be such an excellent father, in my opinion. He is so excited about the baby, he promised to be there for me all the way, whenever I need him. He already is making plans to build a nursery for Chibi-Usa, and talks about her day and night. His joy makes me so happy. I know he has not abandoned me, he will be back very soon, but even two weeks without him seems like an eternity. He has not called, and that scares me. But I know he is okay, I can feel it. I just need to be patient and let him come home when it is time. He left on a diplomatic mission, as usual. I did not attend, for my pregnancy makes me not at the physical peek that is needed in such missions. It was difficult for him to leave me two months pregnant, but like most things, it just had to be done. I know he will come home soon, he has to. I don't think I can run things any longer without him. I wonder what he is doing right now... « King Endymion » The scenery on the way back to Crystal Tokyo is so beautiful at this time of year. For the view, I would rather travel by automobile than by plane or train. Out of my window I begin to see a little form of the Crystal Palace in the horizon. I feel the warmth of my Serenity surrounding me already. I feel the burdon of the Mission lift from my shoulders as I near home, and my pregnant wife. I am so happy to say that things could not get much better. My kingdom is glowing with prosparity, and I will be a father in seven months. I can not express to you how much joy I have for our coming daughter. It's true, a woman does glow during pregnancy. Serenity has been in the best of moods, and I can not wait to feel her warm embrace again. I miss her so much, two weeks can seem like an eternity without her. «¤» Segment One «¤» The embrace was powerful enough to stop time. As if two weeks were an eternity, Neo-Queen Serenity and Endymion reunited with the speed of a locomotive. Prologue- Thoughts of couple who are apart Segment One- NeoQueen and King unite, Endy looks at her woomb, breathtaking kiss, then scenery begins to fade in and out.
