So this is my first story, which I hope to maybe serialize. I am kinda going in a direction of "Brave" and how Merida is.

The music started up in the great hall and Serenity felt her stomach drop to the floor. She really did not want to be there, she wanted to be outside with her horse riding through the forest doing what she did best. But no, she had to be cleaned up, dressed up and to be willing to be presented to the court because her eldest sister decided that it be time to find a husband. Serenity knew better than to fight with her sister, Selena. Queen Selena was an admirable queen. She was tall and lean, with long silver hair done up in an elegant do. Everything about the Queen of the Moon just oozed regal. Serenity hated her for being so perfect. As Serenity stood behind the big marble doors, she was handed a note by one of the guards.

"Someone dropped this off you, Princess." The guard said.

"Thank you," she said as she opened it. As Serenity read the note a smile came to her face. 'At last!' she thought. The doors opened and Serenity quickly stuffed the note down her dress and plastered her smile back on her face and walked down the stairs.

Prince Endimyon of Earth sat quietly waiting for the ball to start. "How long does it take to introduce someone?" he said.

"Impatient, my Lord?" asked Kunzite, Endimyons' head general.

"Oh,I guess, we have been here for hours and have not seen the youngest princess of the late Queen." He complained. Endimyon had received the invitation 3 days ago and he was going to decline but when his father got wind of the ball, the King quickly RSVP'd and sent Endimyon on his merry way. He had wondered if his father had any other ulterior motives for sending him to the Moon. He had heard stories about the youngest princess, that she was very headstrong and independent. Endimyon even wondered if he could take such a girl on.

"It would figure just as much," said Nephrite.

"Agreed, but take a look at those 4 beautiful ladies," said Jadeite.

The 4 ladies in question were the princess's ladies-in-waiting, Princess Rei of Mars, Princess Mina of Venus, Princess Lita of Jupiter, and Princess Amiee of Mercury.

"Yes they are quite beautiful," Zoisite said as the 4 generals ogled the girls.

"Men, please.." the Prince sighed and rubbed his temples, this was going to be a long night. Then suddenly he caught a glimpse of long blonde hair and eyes deep as the sea; he felt his heart stop for a second and started to make his way to the front.

Serenity made her way down the stairs. She held herself tall and regal, but as she was on her way down she met the eyes of one of the guests. His eyes were as blue as sapphires and his hair was black as coal. 'What a handsome man…' she thought, and just as she stepped onto the floor, the crowd seemed to part and there he was. The two of them just stood there looking at each other until Serenity was brought back to reality by her sister saying her name.

"Serenity, earth to Serenity," Selena said under her breath.

"Hmm, oh yes sister?"

"What are you spacing about?"

"Nothing.."

Selena just looked at her sister and sighed. 'I know she is to be Queen but I don't know if she is ready. Mother please, give me strength.'
