p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Once Sailor Negamoon had been introduced, Wiseman had taken his leave of the throne room… and Sailor Negamoon and Prince Diamond had been left alone together./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"With no reason to stay in her warrior form, Sailor Negamoon went ahead and released her transformation, so that she changed back to Serena. While she did this, Prince Diamond summoned a servant and murmured something to it, then the servant promptly left./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Back in her civilian form, Serena looked mostly the same as her old self… except, of course, for the eyes. She looked over at the prince again, that curious look still in her eyes… it was obvious that the girl was experiencing something that was wholly and completely new. "What would you like me to do, my prince?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"The prince smirked slightly, a bit arrogant-looking. "First of all, you may dispense with this 'my prince' business… for I know that you, too, are royalty, Serena. You may either call me simply by my name, or 'Prince Diamond'."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Serena nodded, smiling. "If that's what ya want, Diamond… what else?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"At that moment, the servant from earlier reappeared and murmured something in the prince's ear. He smiled slightly./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I would like you to dine with me, Serena, in an hour's time. My servant here shall lead you to your new chambers here. You shall be staying here for the weekend, as was planned. When the hour is up, you'll find a servant outside your chambers, waiting to lead you to the dining room."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Serena nodded, then followed the servant from the room./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"When they made it to her chambers, Serena gave a sharp intake of breath when she entered./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"The room was very luxurious, done up in deep colors of red, violet, and black. The bed itself was huge, with a draping canopy, and laid out on its covers was a dress, obviously put there for Serena to change into. The dress was like nothing she'd worn before, a long gown with a low back and slits up both legs. Tying behind the neck at the top, sleeveless, the dress started out as black at the top, but slowly changed to purple towards the bottom. The material it was made from was very glittery, like it'd been sewn from the stars themselves… rather like the type of dress a prom queen, or someone like that, would be found wearing. With the dress was a pair of gloves that went up past her elbows and a pair of strappy heels, both black./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"It didn't take long for Serena to change into the outfit. Once changed, she started to adjust the buns of her hair, but frowned slightly as a thought came to her. The old Serena had worn those buns for as long as she could remember… why not try something new?/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Reaching up, a bit tentatively, she loosed the buns and let her hair down. The silky tresses now fell down her back like a golden cape, coming within half an inch of the ground when she stood. She knew that she couldn't keep it this way all the time… it would be too unmanageable. But for now… it was nice./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"She'd finished getting ready within a half hour, and still had time to burn. Noticing an ornate, full-length mirror over by the wall, she made her way over to it to examine her reflection./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Honestly, it didn't look like her staring back at her… a lovely young woman stared back at her in the mirror, a woman who looked, for once, sure of herself./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Serena couldn't help but wonder if this was all some twisted dream… had she really converted to the other side? Thinking about it, she was sure that she had made the right decision. One would expect to feel more different… but she didn't. She could feel inside that she was the same Serena as before, and yet… she was changed. Changed in the way that she was stronger./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Her very body was imbued now with that Dark Crystal energy… even now, she could feel it thrumming throughout her veins, almost singing with the power of it. Wiseman told her that it wasn't only power from the Crystal, though, that she felt… the hidden power in her body was unleashed./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"It was all so… new… and exciting. She felt as though she had been walking through a haze before, and now everything was clear. Things that would have once left her baffled were now easy for her to understand. Things she never would have before noticed were now seen by her./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"She could see that her now ex-friends… never had really appreciated her. The only times that they had ever come close is when they were going into a big battle… and then it was only because they needed Sailor Moon./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"And as for Darien… he was more trouble than he was worth. It was obvious that he had only loved her for the princess, and not for Serena. Why? When they'd first met, all Darien had done to her was be mean to her. He had, back then, hurt her feelings and pissed her off more times than she could count. Then, when she'd discovered her princess self, and they rediscovered their old 'love' again, he was kidnapped by the enemy. Next time he saw her, he'd been brainwashed into thinking her the enemy. (This thought made her pause… no, she wasn't brainwashed. Darien had been changed completely from his old self back then… she was still her). Then, after she went through all the trouble of saving him and defeating Beryl, he went and forgot her again! It'd taken a long time to win him as they all went through the Alan and Ann ordeal, and now… now he had had the nerve to break up with her. She had always been fighting to keep him, and for what? Nothing. He just was NOT worth it./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"emBesides… /emSerena smiled slightly as she thought of the arrogant, handsome Prince Diamond. emIt's not as though he's the only eligible prince…/em/p

If any of you think that Serena seems OOC, sorry… but you must remember, certain things about her have been changed.
