Prologue

In ancient times back when the kingdom of the moon was still young and flourishing a queen ruled over the moon. She was beautiful and smart. She believed that her only daughter Serena should marry the prince of the country they were in tension with so it would smooth things out between them.

So that's just what she did. She had Serena Betrothed to the young Prince Diamond of the Negamoon family. Serena though had no idea that she would have to marry him. Queen serenity decided when her daughter was old enough to know of what Betrothal meant she would then tell her daughter.

When Serena turned the flourishing age of fifteen they held a party for her birthday. Serena spent the night gracing the halls with her beauty. Her long golden silk hair flowed behind her with grace. Her blue eyes like deep pools of water. The people were impressed with the Queens daughter and many were whispering about her when she passed them.

"I heard she was to be married to a handsome prince," a girl her age whispered to a group of girls.

Serena took it as a compliment not knowing it was actually the truth. She did begin to suspect things once she heard the same rumor three more times. She even said that she was to be wed on her Sixteenth birthday.

Serena wasn't the only one to hear these rumors. Queen Serenity did too! She decided that tonight would be the night she would explain Serena's fate. Serenity had also agreed that on her sixteenth birthday she would be married to the Eighteen-year-old Prince Diamond. From what the queen heard, Diamond was in mad love with her.

Later that night Serena noticed that no one would dance with her. They were all forbid to do so. The Queen feared that she might fall in love with someone else. Serena, frustrated so much with how things were going, left her party and ran to her room, crying.

The queen believed that now was the right time to tell her daughter. Just as she was headed to find where her daughter was a loud explosion sounded from the castle gates.

Queen Beryl and her minion forces were attacking the castle. Serenity commanded her forces to fight back but all hope was lost. Queen beryl was too strong for them. Using her last strength she sent Her daughter to safety with all her closest friends on earth where she could try to live a peaceful life. Queen Serenity died then, forgetting all about telling her precious daughter about the Marriage proposal. The queen forgot the all of the palace forgot, even the Negamoon forgot. Everyone Forgot of the Betrothal except one person. And that person swore to the heavens that he'd make his Beloved Princess fall in love with him.

Chapter 1

"Happy Birthday Serena" a group of voices rang allowed.

The blond haired, klutzy, crybaby girl known as Serena was finally sixteen years old. She was overjoyed with happiness.

Ami, a super genius student that went to Serena's school handed her a box. Serena and Ami were good friends. "Happy birthday Serena I hope this helps you." Serena used her nails to dig through the blue wrapping paper to find an Organizer.

"Wow Ami, this is amazing!"

"Well I figured since you are so unorganized you may need it. I made it myself." Ami responded with her usual smile.

"I'll use it, I promise" Serena replied.

"I'm next" Rae called out. She shoved everyone out of the way. "Here Serena I know you need this." Rae handed her a small box decorated with red shiny wrapping paper.

She pulled out a delicate golden watch. "Wow Rae it's beautiful…"

"Now you won't ever be late again." Rae replied with a somewhat sarcastic voice. She was forever having fun making fun of Serena.

"I'm not always late!" Serena snapped.

"Are too" Rae whispered under her breath. She used to get into fights with Serena all the time but found that it was pointless as she grew up to see that Serena always fought to win.

"I heard that!" Serena hissed from her spot on the floor.

Rae hesitated, but gave into her desires. She stuck out her tongue at the blonde girl that had been so recently showered in confetti.

Serena narrowed her eyes. "It's war Rae"

Lita laughed from her corner nervously. "Here Serena take my gift next."

As if already distracted Serena snatched the gift and ripped it open to reveal a large box of home made cookies.

"Yummy!" the blond haired girl cried. "I love cookies."

"Thought you'd like them" Lita said proudly as Serena reached in the box and took out a blue sprinkled sugar cookie. She stuffed it in her face and grabbed the present from Mina, which was wrapped somewhat sloppily and pasted with orange bows.

She didn't hesitate to rip this one open either. She pulled out a thick binder. Curiously she flipped through the pages with a very confused look on her face. The pages were filled with graphs and charts.

"Ummm. Mina what is this?" she questioned.

Mina smiled. "I gathered all my friends in the upper grades and they collected their old tests and notes. What you are holding in your hand is the answer sheet of any math test in the future that is to be given."

Serena squealed with delight. "This is even better than the cookies. Now I won't fail."

Ami shot mina a look and mina smiled guiltily.

Serena finished opening up her gifts. Luna and Artemis had gotten her plush dolls, Molly had gotten her a gift certificate to her favorite anime store, and Andrew had written her a poem and given her twenty bucks to spend on whatever she wished.

As they left Serena's house to continue the birthday celebration at the arcade mina asked "What did Darien get you?"

Serena smiled. "Darien is taking me out to dinner tonight at Café al la mode."

The girls giggled as they continued down the street when Serena stopped abruptly

"Whats wrong Serena?" Ami questioned.

Serena didn't answer.

By this time everyone had turned to look at the blonde haired girl with wonder.

"Serena?" Lita said

Serena shivered. "Something is wrong. It feels like were being watched."

Rae looked around. "You're right. I do feel a little strange."

Mina shivered as well.

As the girls looked around the abandon street for the source of discomfort the air grew thick. Within a split second the girls found themselves frozen, paralyzed in place. The air was thick with static that crackled around their skin.

Lita struggled to break free from the dark spell but nothing happened.

Rae tried using her priestess fire to help but nothing responded.

They were cloaked in an evil spell, completely powerless.

Serena looked in horror as a black void appeared before them, and gracefully, out came a man from the darkness, His white robe billowing behind him.

Serena looked at him, eyes captivated. His purple eyes, his white hair, everything seemed perfect about him, yet he had a dark aura. He was evil.

Serena pushed these thoughts out of her mind as he approached her.

"Finally" he spoke. "I have found you."

Serena tried to speak but couldn't find words. Her throat felt stuffed with cotton. She choked to speak but found it futile.

He smiled as he gently touched her face. "My beloved…"

Rae was the first to have enough strength to speak. "Who are you?"

The White haired man smiled at her. "My name is Prince Diamond…. and I have come for my betrothed."

"Betrothed? Serena? You have the wrong girl," Rae snapped. "Serena is going to marry Darien."

Diamond laughed. "So that's his name…well I'll just have to destroy this Darien fellow."

Serena gasped. "No!"

Diamond stroked her cheek. "I have been waiting for you forever. You are my betrothed."

Serena spat on the ground. "Leave me alone!"

He looked at her. "You don't seem to understand. I always get what I want. And I want you." He slid his arm around her slender body and let the dark void swallow them up. Serena let out a terrified scream.

Just as they completely faded into the darkness the spell was lifted and Rae ran towards where Serena once stood.

"Serena" she screamed. "Serena!"

There was naturally no answer.

Rae turned to her friends. "Guys…. I think we have a new enemy on our hands."
