Chapter 1

Princess Serenity ran to her bedchambers and flung herself on her elegantly carved oak bed. She exploded into sobs and tears and her long, silky golden pigtails fell into two messy piles beside her.

"Mother? What is it that you wanted to speak me about?" Serenity asked as she stepped into her mother*s conference room.

"Ah! Serenity! Yes, I have wonderful news for you. You are becoming of an age where it is time to get married. And so, I have a confession to make. I was going to tell you on your 16th birthday that you were betrothed at birth to Prince Endymion of Earth but since ties between the two kingdoms are strained the king, queen, and I decided that now is the best time to go through with this marriage. Serenity? Serenity!?" Queen Serenity said sadly. But Princess Serenity wasn't there to hear the rest of her mother*s speech because she ran to her room weeping.

Serenity's closest friends and protectors, the Sailor Scouts tried their best to comfort her. "Come on Serenity, it won't be so bad," Lita, the princess of Jupiter, said.

"Yeah, and besides, the prince is hot. I've seen him," Mina, the princess of Venus, exclaimed.

"Serenity, it's not like your life is over so stop crying," her sometimes rude - but - well-meaning best friend Raye, the princess of Mars, stated.

"Raye!" Ami, the princess of Mercury, admonished. This made Serenity start wailing.

"I don*t love him! I don't even know him!" Serenity shouted.

When Prince Endymion was called to see his parents, he thought they were going to yell at him for playing a prank on his teacher during a lesson. What he heard shocked him. As soon as he entered, his beaming mother ran over to him and hugged him while his father proudly announced his engagement to Princess Serenity. Endymion's dark blue eyes flared with rage and he erupted with anger, "How could you make me marry some girl I don't know?! I wish I wasnt your son or the Prince!" He stormed off, his red silk-lined cape tailing behind him.
