Chapter One
"Damn that insufferable boy!" growled an angry queen. "I will not be late to Selenity's gala, Augustus!"
Georgina stood anxiously waiting in the main waiting room. Her turquoise eyes gleaming red with anger. The royal family of Earth had been extended an invitation from the Moon, to witness Selenity's first revealing of her daughter to the public. Selenity and Georgina had been life long friends since their childhood, and was completely estatic to see her friend's first child.
The older man could only chuckle at his wife, his eyes gleaming with pure enjoyment. He reached out his arms and encircled his love, pulling her close to calm her.
"My dear, you must calm yourself. We will get there just fine. You know our son, he refuses to be told anything. Much like you my dear."
Georgina pulled back with a gasp, bewilderment clear across her face. Laughter filled the air, as the king thoroughly enjoyed the rise he was receiving from his wife.
"Oh you cad, Augustus!" Geogina shouted. "You spoil him so!"
Her outburst only cause the king to roar with laughter.
"Me?..hah Oh my love. Surely I am not the onlyparent spoiling their son" He stated with a devilish wink.
Unable to ever be completely mad at the love of her life, Georgina imply giggled and reached for her husband's hands. She was blissfully happy, and could only wish that her son would find such happiness.
"Do you think he will like her, Augustus?"
"What is there not to like? If she is anything like Selenity, he should only be so lucky."
Georgina could only look at her husband with raised brows.
"Is that so?..." She questioned him.
Augustus responded with a simple kiss. A kiss that assured his queen that she was the only one that would ever capture his heart.
****CRASH*****
"ENDYMION!" The queen and king shouted in unision.
************************************************** ************************************************** ********
Selenity walked over to her balcony and took in the sights of her kingdom. Her eyes panned over grounds where many were gettings things ready for the evening festivies. She was a gracious and kind ruler who's beauty was just as reputable. The Supreme Ruler of the Silver Millenium had finally had her daughter. Tonight, she would introduce the world to her daughter and her daughter to the world. Not only was this a coming out for her daughter, but it was also the announcement of her bethrothal to Earth's golden prince. Endymion would be 6 years her elder, but they would be able to connect fine. A smile escaped Selenity's lips at the joy of having her dear friend be a part of her family. Georgina and Selenity had always dreamed of their children to be married and soon their dreams would be a reality. A small cough returned the queen from her thoughts. Slowly, she turned and walked over to a small, white crib draped in lace and silk. A mobile twirled gracefully aboved the bed, twinkling a sweet melody. Selenity gently pulled her daughter into her arms and walked back over to the balcony. She gently swayed her to-and-fro, cooing her every so often.
"Look my darling, one day this will be all of yours. Soon the moon and Earth will be united and then the entire solar system will be one." Selenity whispered to her daughter.
Bells could be heard in the distance, as a signal that guests were beginning to arrive. Selenity gently placed her daughter back into her crib, caressing her rosey cheeks.
"My love, I only wish you true happiness, now and forever."
Selenity called over a maid to attend to getting her daughter ready for the event. The maid bowed in respect to her loving queen and cautiously began to disrobe the baby princess. Selenity could hear the faint giggles of her daughter as the maid tickled her here and there whilst getting her prepared. She could only smile in return.
"You will protect us all, my dear Serenity"
With that, Selenity turned and walked out the door.
************************************************** ************************************************** ********
Servants were bustling around the Moon Kingdom, attending to royalties from all over the system. Servers and maid running back and forth from the kitchen, making sure all the proper preperations were being completed. Luna, the queen's faithful advisor watched over carefully, paying close attention to every detail. She would make sure this glorious evening would go off without a hitch.
"Luna, we have made all the preparation in the ballroom. It is set for the evening." one of the servants informed.
"Excellent! We shall be able to escort our guests their and begin the festivities."
"As you wish, ma'am" the servant responded with a respectful bow.
Just as she was able to head off to make sure everything was fine in the kitchen, a small tug on her dress quickly drew her attention.
"Auwntie Woona Auwntie Woona!" a little voice cried.
With a giant smile, Luna swept the little girl into her arms with a fit of giggles.
"Mina! When did you get here!"
The little girl exploded with laughter as Luna twirled her around. Mina was always a joy to see. As she set her down, the little girl continued on with her twirling. Her deep pink dress swishing and swashing everywhat way the little girl moved.
"Why Mina, why don't you stop that spinning and properly introduce yourself...just as we practice" a voice interrupted.
Mina immediately stopped and nodded.
"Pwincess Minako, of the Venishin Kingdoom"
Mina curtsied, her golden locks spilling slightly over her shoulder, the majority of it held together with her signature red bow.
"That's Venician Kindom, my love" the Queen of Venus corrected with a smile.
"Dat's what I said!" Mina retorted with a pout.
"Mowmie and me just gowt here! We here to see Auwntie Sewenity's new baby."
The two ladies giggled at the adorable sight the little princess made.
"How is Serenity? Is she at all nervous?" Queen Amauris asked.
"She is as calm as can be. After all is I who carries her stress" Luna joked.
"Oh..it just must be so exciting. This castle will soon learn what is it like to have a toddler running about..." Amauris jested, putting a little more emphasis towards the end.
Mina could only look up and smile.
Loud trumphets rang through the halls, signally that it was time for everything to begin.
"Oooh..better get going if I want to get a good seat" Amauris winked.
Luna nodded as she hurried away to ballroom before all the guest appeared.
************************************************** ************************************************** ********
Selenity entered the ballroom, in complete awe of the glorious sight it was in.
'Luna truly outdid herself this time' she thought to herself.
As if on cue, Luna hurried through the main doors, her purplish-grey hair all sorts of dishelved. She quickly approach the queen, catching her breath in small gasps.
"Oh Luna, you must settle. Everything is beautiful, you have done such a wonderful job. Come, you must relax and enjoy your hardwork."
Serenity gently grabbed her trusted friend's hand and together they walked over to Serenity head chair. Next to it was where Luna would sit and the other side a silver crib decorated with sheer white chiffon pieces cascading over, creating a canapy.
Serenity's maid too appeared with Serenity in hand and brought her to her mother.
"She is lovely, thank you Martha for taking such care." Selenity gushed.
"My queen" the maid simply reponded, bowing as she walked out.
Selenity gentle placed her daughter into the crib, gently pushing the small wisp of silver hair out of her face. Selenity bent over to give her daughter a kiss before gesturing over to her guards that they may allow the events to commmence.
One by one kings and queens of the planets paid their respects to the Queen of the Silver Millenium and their newest Princess. Compliments were showered over Selenity of her daughter's beauty. Selenity thanked everyone wholeheartedly for this kindness. Mina bounced over to the baby, causing a small stir with her mother and her aunt.
"Hi baby Sewenity! I am your cousin Mina! Huwwy up and gwow so we can pway!" Mina exclaimed. "I wiw show you aw my fwends! There's Ami, Wei, and Mawko! We are aw pwincesses and now your a pwincesses too!"
Selenity and Amauris smiled at the picture their daughters made. Amauris clasped her sisters hands into hers. Without words being said, Selenity knew how happy Amauris was for her, and that if she was to need anything at all, that Amauris would only be so willing to help.
Everyone began to settle in their seats as the final guests made their appearance. The outer systems were of the last to give their wishes to their Queen. Selenity bowed her head in appreciation.
Selenity stared at the doors, wondering where her last guests were.
"Something troubling you, your majesty?" Luna questioned, aware of her queen's slight worry.
"Georgina has not come yet, I wonder what is keeping her."
"I am sure that they will be here, your majesty. After all, this event involves them as well. Surely they will be here any moment now." Luna reassured her.
As if on cue, trumpets blaired once again, bringing the attention of all to the main doors.
"Now announcing, King Augustus and Queen Georgina, King and Queen of Earth. Along with them is his royal highness, Prince Endymion of Earth." the guard announced.
Selenity released a breath of relief as she watched her dear friend enter the room. Georgina and Augustus strode towards Selenity, hand in hand, with their son trailing slowly behind them. Selenity got up to meet them as they neared her seat.
"Georgina!" Selenity exclaimed enveloping her friend in embrace.
"Selenity! I apologize for being late. Not all of us had this evening on their mind." Georgina looked over behind her shoulder, directing Selenity's attention to a young boy sheepishly looking at the ground.
"Selenity..." Augustus cooed, taking her hand into his and placing a respectful kiss atop it.
"Augustus, charming as ever." Selenity smiled.
"Let us have a look at what all the commotion is about shall we!" Augustus exclaimed, bursting into laughter shortly after.
"Augustus!" his wife scolded.
Selenity could only join his laughter. She loved the liveliness they brought with them. She guided them towards the crib where Serenity laid.
"Oh Selene...she is absolutely breathtaking! Look at her eyes. They are stunning! One could get lost in those seas of blue! When she grows, Selenity, you will have to keep an eye on her!" Georgina gushed.
"Well I hope that someone will keep an eye on her." Selenity jested, winking at her friend.
"Well said, Selenity" Augustus interjected.
He then turned to his son,Endymion, who was making no efforts to be apart of anything at all, and brought him close.
"Come now, Endymion. Don't you want to see the new Princess? After all, when you two grow up, she will become your betrothed."
"...What's betrothed?" Endymion asked quietly.
Selenity walked over to the Earth's prince and bent down so that she could look him face to face. Endymion lifted his head high and proudly to show that he was grown enough to talk. With a smile, she reached out and caressed his handsome face.
"Why...betrothed means that one day you and Serenity will be wedded."
Endymion could only respond by making a face of disgust, as if someone told him he was to eat dirt for dinner. Augustus could only laugh at his son.
"Don't you worry son, you'll warm up to the idea when you are older, trust me." He explained with a wink.
"Would you like to come see her?" Selenity ask him extending her hand to his.
Endymion looked up at the moon queen. With a sheepish face, he slowly nodded taking her hand, as they walked to the crib. Endymion let go of her hand to take a closer look at Serenity. She laid still with her eyes shut, and chest rising and falling with her gentle breaths. Endymion watched her as she slept, her mouth slightly ajar. He reached down to pull her covers up over her when her eyes slowly opened. Crystal blue clashed with deep blue as they both stared at each other. A bond was being made between the two that would write their futures. Selenity and Georgina could only look at each other with pure happiness.
"What do you think Endymion...isn't she beautiful" his mother called out.
Endymion continue to look at Serenity, his hand still hovering over her.
"She's..." he paused. "She's...gross!"
Just as suddenly, Endymion brought his hand down and poke Serenity hard in the face, only to cause her to burst into tears. Many rose to their feet astonished by the scene. Shocked, the mothers grabbed their children, Selenity calming her daughter down and Georgina yelling and scolding her son for his actions. Augustus could only sigh...and sat down with his hand to his head.
"Well...at least they like each other..."
