The meeting

Princess Serenity was walking through the palace with her mother and her guards around her (the Sailor Scouts), with a cast away look on her face.

Her mother looked down on her and said with a sweet smile on her face. "Dear, do you have something on your mind?"

Serenity looked up at her mother. "I'm sorry mother, I'm fine. Thank you for asking."

Queen Serenity just smiled, and looked straight ahead. They stopped outside the Princess' room.

Serenity walked into her room and gave her mother a swift kiss and told her she'll get changed for the ball.

"I'll see you downstairs then darling."

When Serenity had shut her door, she just fell backwards on her bed and wished that she didn't have to go, but he might be there. The prince she met, when the delegates of the other worlds came for a peace conference.

Serenity had been walking in her garden that she can see from her balcony. She had walked past the fountain, which was the halfway mark of the garden.

She was kneeling down next to the roses, and had her head bent taking in the scent, when she heard a voice behind her,

"So you like roses do you?" It was a male's voice.

When she heard it she was that startled, she fell backwards onto her bottom.

She looked up at the gentleman and took in his features.

His slightly long black hair coming a bit over his eyes, his handsome face, his skin was tanned and he had black eyes as well.

He was wearing navy blue armour with a silver piping on it with a black cape with a red lining on the inside. Serenity could tell by the armour that he was from Earth. Even through the armour she could tell he was muscular. The man held out his hand so he could help her get up.

Serenity grasped his hand tightly so she could stand up with no problems. When she got up, their eyes met and she saw something in them that she's never seen before in a person's eyes. She tried to gather herself and said as regally as she could "You startled me sir."

"I'm sorry Your Highness. I didn't mean to."

"Well, since you're from Earth, you must know how to introduce yourself."

"How do you know I come from Earth?" The man looked slightly taken back at how she this.

"Your armour. It is the symbol of Earth's royal family is it not?"

"Yes, of course it is." He looked quizzative at her.

"It was part of my history work to know all the different symbols of the other planets."

"Ah, of course. A princess must know her history."

"Well, since you know who I am, I would like to know you. What is your name sir?" Serenity said this with a bit of a smile on her face.

"Prince Endymion of Earth at your service." He bowed when he said it.

"Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom, Your Highness. If you would like, I could give you a tour of the palace. I know this place like the back of my hand."

"I would like that very much, but first I would like to see the rest of this garden. I don't know why, but this one seems different to me."

Serenity just chuckled a little bit. Endymion gave her a look that said "Why are you laughing?"

Serenity saw the look and spoke in a soft voice. "It's my garden. My mother gave it to me when I was little."

"Why did she give it to you?" Endymion looked at her in interest, he had never heard of a princess of having her own garden.

"She gave it to me, because I would never let anyone tend to the flowers, I always did that, and I would also play in here as well." Serenity looked downwards. "Although, I've never been beyond that gate over there. I suppose it leads to the stable hands quarters."

Endymion was just looking at her. He had never seen a girl so beautiful. He thought at first that it was the moon powers, making her look like that, but it was her natural beauty. Her eyes resembled the sky on Earth. Her skin was as pale as the finest porcelain and her dress hung to her figure for the top half, but past her abdomen it flowed out into a ball gown. He looked at her figure, she was slim, but not too much that she would fall over with the slightest wind. Her hair resembled her mother's. But while her mother's was silver, Serenity's looked like a sea of gold. Her hands looked like silk, and that they could heal a person's wounds. Also her lips looked rosy and untouched. He noticed that Serenity was looking him up and down.

"Well, are you going to show me the garden?"

"Of course Prince Endymion."

"Just call me Endymion."

"Alright Endymion. Just call me Serena."

"Serena? I thought…"

"It's what my friends call me for short."

"Ah. Some of my friends call me Endy. I think it sounds silly."

Serenity held out her hand. "I think it sounds sweet."

Endymion took her hand. "Sometimes on Earth when I go into town I take on the name Darien."

"Why?" Serenity started to lead him round the garden. Endymion was looking around at the different types of plants that were there.

"So people won't know who I am, and I can walk around without fearing for my life. You could walk around Earth. People don't know who you are, so you can walk around freely."

"You talk about Earth, and I don't know what it's like. I would like to hear about it, but all I hear is that it's a dangerous place, and that I shouldn't go there."

Endymion just looked at her and smiled a bit. "It can be dangerous at times, but it can also be a very beautiful place as well."

"Tell me what it looks like."

"Well you see the glow coming from it." He pointed up at the blue and green orb. "Well that's the water. Around the water, there are so many different landscapes. Deserts, forests, beaches, its amazing how many there are. Also the plants there are grown naturally, they're not controlled and also the weather isn't planned, one moment there can be sun, the next rain, also the wind isn't so still, sometimes it can be really bad, where if you take a step foreword, you take three back." Serenity raised an eyebrow at the thought. "But it can also be quite still and only move your hair a little. The temperature changes as well mainly through the different seasons."

"It sounds like a nice place. So beautiful and peaceful." She was looking up at the Earth.

"It is. But I think I've found something more beautiful here."

"What have you found here…" Started to say, but noticed that he was looking at her. She whispered "Oh."

Her eyes widened a little bit and she wondered what she should say and do. This had never happened, of course she had men proposing to her, but never telling her that she was beautiful. She had turned them down because, she was too young and her mother told her that she would find the right one someday, by just knowing it in their eyes, or by their touch.

He was looking into her eyes and saw the sparkle of the stars in them. He started to walk off. Serenity caught up to him. "Endymion, what's wrong?" He saw how concerned she looked.

"I'm sorry Your Highness, I shouldn't have said that."

"Say what? And I told you to call me Serenity or Serena." Endymion turned away from her. "Listen to me Endy, I was shocked by what you said, and I didn't know what to do. I'm sorry for being so naïve."

Endymion's and Serenity's eyes met again, Endymion being caught in the heavens that she calls her eyes, he leaned down slowly giving Serenity enough time to escape if she wished.

Endymion put his hands on Serenity's waist, to bring her closer to him. With the feel of his hands, Serenity's arms went round the back of his neck to bring him closer to her. Their heads were coming closer together. Serenity shut her eyes. She didn't know why, instinct took over. When their heads came together, Endymion angled his head a little so he could lock his lips onto Serenity's.

The feeling inside of her intensified, with the caress of his on hers.

Serenity came out of the memory with a slight smile on her face and went back into another one, which was a week beforehand, when she met him again.
