Every guest (especially Neo-Queen Serenity, who was_dying_for this moment!) were satisfied with the refreshments that were brought to them. They sat at a large table, which was large enough for everyone who attended the ceremony to be on. "Queen Venus, slow down!" Queen Mercury said, staring at her friend who was 'enjoying herself' with the food (as much as Neo-Queen Serenity was!) Queen Venus cried, "It's a rare occasion for us to cross_galaxies_ to come to visit the Starlights and their princess..I mean queen, you know? We have to take full advantage of the food that they provide us here!!" Luna and Artemis sweatdropped as the other senshi laughed. "Neo-King Apollo," Neo-Queen Serenity said as she smiled. The new king turned to her and nodded. "Now that your new positions are assigned, shortly, you'll be working with my husband--Neo-King Endymion." "I've been looking forward to, Neo-Queen Serenity," Neo-King Apollo said as he looked at his wife then onto the queen. "I've heard a lot about Neo-King Endymion, that he is quite serious about his job and the anuual King Meetings.." "Actually, it's quite entertaining at the King Meetings," Neo-Queen Serenity laughed. "The Kings have fun while they work. Sometimes I wish that I was actually there to listen to their conversations.." The people laughed. After the guests have danced, chatted that they forget the time, they finally realized that it was getting very dark. After telling one another, they said good bye, blessings to the new rulers and everyone else, then went home. "..well..I suppose that we can leave now..," Neo-Queen Serenity said to the new rulers with a smile. "Thank you for the wonderful ceremony, Neo-Queen Kakyuu, Neo-King Apollo." She gave a quick serious look towards Neo-Queen Kakyuu, indicating that they needed to talk about their more important topic. The queen nodded, then the other senshi parted, leaving her with Neo-King Apollo. Neo-King Apollo smiled, then turned to his wife and asked, "What's wrong, Queen? You seemed to suddenly look worried.." Seeing the king looking concerned, Neo-Queen Kakyuu shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing." Inside, there were many other things she was worrying about. ************************** "Good night, Queen," the Outer senshi said before they went into their room. "Good night," the Inner senshi said, then opened the door to their room. Neo-Queen Serenity then gasped, "Look!" A girl was lying on the floor on the spot where the queen pointed to. Her clothes indicated that she was a teenager..around the age of 15. "Who is she?" Queen Jupiter questioned. "Good question, we're going to find it out pretty soon," Queen Mars said as she looked at everyone else in the room before settling her stare on the girl. In the next moment, the Outer senshi were all in the room, analyzing the situation. "Queen," Neo-Queen Serenity said as she stared at the new queen. "Does Neo-King Apollo mind that you came here..a short moment after the ceremony ended? I mean..after a_wedding_ceremony and his bride was elsewhere.." "I told him it was a Queen's Meeting and that it would only take a little while. I hope that he believes me..," Neo-Queen Kakyuu said uncertainly. After realizing something, she quickly corrected, "A Queen_and_Princess's meeting." The Starlight princesses looked at each other, Princess StarHealer giggled. Princess Pluto smiled her silent way, then the senshi got to business. The other senshi laughed as the new queen smiled and blushed. "That's an excellent excuse, Neo-Queen Kakyuu," Queen Jupiter commmented as she smiled. "Neither one of us would have really suspected.." "Who is this girl?" Princess StarMaker questioned. It was obvious that the Starlights and their Queen noticed the girl who was mysteriously in the Inner senshi's bedroom. "That's exactly what Queen Jupiter asked earlier," Queen Mars said. "She doesn't look like a someone who works here," Princess StarHealer commented while Queen Mercury looked at her more closely. "I don't think I ever saw her before either.." "She fainted out of exhaustion," the queen of Mercury concluded based on her observations. "There is nothing serious." "We don't really need a doctor when Ami-chan and Taiki-san are here, ne?" Queen Venus announced. The other senshi laughed. Princess StarMaker smiled as she blushed. "I think we should place her on the bed and watch if anything else happens.." So the girl was placed on a spare bed that was later carried into the room. "Now, to our real business," Neo-Queen Serenity said. Everyone became serious. "Excuse me Queen, don't you think we might need to move to somewhere more private?," Queen Mercury asked, looking straight at the sleeping girl on the bed. "That's an excellent idea Queen Mercury," Princess StarHealer replied. Everyone agreed. They all started heading toward Starlight Palace's biggest and most private meeting room which was located at the highest level of the palace. That room was called the 'Light House'. Neo-Queen Kakyuu is the only one who knows where the 'Light House' of her own palace is located. She is also the only person who have access to that room. There were no door or windows. No one knew where that place was located. Perhaps it could have been in another dimension, Pluto could give you more info- rmation on that, nee. =) While they were walking, Neo-Queen Kakyuu raised her wand. "Please bring us to The Light House," Neo-Queen Kakyuu comanded while Neo-Queen Serenity thought back of the time she used a similar command in her palace. The light from the ward spreded all over the place, the next thing they saw was that they was now standing in the Light House. Everyone remember and regonized the Light House well enough because they have been in the Crystal Palace's Light House often enough. Starlight Palace's Light House was similar to the Crystal Palace's Light House except that it was a little bit smaller. There was a big round table with a lot of chair and two biggest and largest chairs for the King and the Queen (but in this case, for the 2 Neo-Queens). When everyone was settle in their seat, Queen Mars began, "What should be do about our new enemies?" "I don't exactly know, they are getting very close to us now, we might need some plan." Neo-Queen Serenity replied, Neo-Queen Kakyuu nodded. "Queen Mercury, Maker, do you have any ideas?" Neo-Queen Kakyuu asked, looking at the two geniuses. Queen Mercury gave Princess StarMaker a quick looked noticed Princess StarMaker was taking out her Super Computer and try to type some command. "I think you might need to order your Outer Senshi and your StarPrincesses (the princesses of the stars of Starlight Galaxy.) To protect and not allow any outsiders in this galaxy for a while, unless they are some kind of royalty. The guardian soldiers should protect the galaxy before the Black Dream can come to this planet for awhile so we would have time to plan our defense systems." Queen Mercury explained while she worked on her Super Computer. Also! Princess StarMaker looked back up from her Super Computer and added. "I think the monster will not attack us directly, yet. From the fact that they only want Neo-Queen Kakyuu's Crystal Chalice and the sacred Ruby Crystal. They probably knew we have strong defenses. Plus that Neo-Queen Serenity is here with her senshi. I think they would only send monsters to attack us one at a time to frighten the citizens..," before Princess Starmaker can say more, everyone noticed a very bright light from the ceiling. "Kakyuu, Kakyuu," some very soft and low voice called Neo-Queen Kakyuu from the ceiling. Everyone started looking toward to ceiling. They saw a very beautiful looking woman. She was about 30 years old and she wear a red dress similar to Neo-Queen Kakyuu's dress. The Kinmoku style. "Mother? Is that really you?," Neo-Queen Kakyuu asked the woman, her eyes filled with tear while everyone was stunned in shocked. "Yes, it's me," She answered. The Starlights knelt down in front of their former queen while the senshi of the Millinium galaxy were very confused. The senshi of the Millinium galaxy looked around and started kneeling down too. "Queen Kakyuu?," Queen Mars asked looking straight at Queen Kakyoku. "Neo-Queen, Queen Mars. I thank you all for being very kind to my little daughter and helping her until she became the Queen of the galaxy. My biggest hope for her is for her to become a mature lady and to be a perfect ruler for Starlight Galaxy." Queen Kakyoku explained looking at her daughter. "You're welcome, I'm very glad to do that." Neo-Queen Serenity answered in the Queen-Style (!) "You're just as kind as your mother, Queen Serenity." "You know my mother?" Neo-Queen Serenity asked, looking very confused as much as the other senshi were. "Yes, but that was very long time ago when we last met. We were best friends. She was a very nice person as you are, Neo-Queen Serenity." Queen Kakyoku continued. "StarFighter, StarHealer, StarMaker, thanks for protecting my daughter all the time. I'm very glad you did it. To upgrade your powers, I came with the powers which could upgrade your Star Yell. And for the new Attack item.." "New Attacking Item?," the Starlights whispered at the same time.
