Disclaimer-I don't own Sailor Moon.

Written from Sailor Moon's point of view.

As I wake up, I hear the castle buzzing around tending to their royal duties. I smile, and open my eyes. I sit up in my canopy bed, surrounded by the drapes. I stretch, not looking forward to a day of being Princess. I wish I could be a normal girl with normal family. Or at least be a Sailor Scout. But no, I'm Moon Princess Serena. Uhg. I hate it. I plaster a smile on my face and open the drapes. I slip my fuzzy slippers on and walk out of my room. As I walk down the hall, I see many people smiling at me, seeing their beautiful Princess up and awake. Of course, I wave and smile. After a bit, I reach my mother's bedroom. I peek in to see if she's awake. To my surprise, she's still snoozing. I run over to her bed and climb on it slowly and carefully, as not to wake her. I stand up, and start jumping!

"Come on mom! Get up Queen Serenity! Get up mom! Come on Queen! Wake up! Let's go!" I scream, jumping on my mother's, the queen, bed.

"Wha? Princess!" my mother mumbles waking up. "Wow, my Princess is up earlier than me."

I stop jumping, and flop down next to her. She smiles, and so do I. I hug her, and then say, "Come on, you have Queen duties."

"And you have Princess duties.," my mother says, laughing.

I get up, not looking forward to the day. I see Luna, mother's cat, walk in.

"Good Morning Princess Serena, glad to see you up," Luna says, nodding. She walks over to my mom and jumps on the bed. "Queen, we need you in the Throne room."

"Okay, I'll be there as quick as possible," my mother says, getting up. She nods to me, "You too, Princess."

I leave the room and run back down to my room. I fly in the door and take off my pjs. I quickly slip on my dress and shoes. My long hair is down, so I brush it and put it up in my usual odango style. I put in my hair clips, then look at myself in my full mirror. Good, I look just like Princess Serena.

I run out of my room, and down the hall. I don't smile or wave at anyone. After a while, I come upon a great set of doors. Not hesitating, I open the doors and run in. Next to my mother's big throne, I see a slightly smaller one. I slowly walk over to mine, trying to look like a Princess. I formally sit down, and then the royal committee burst through the doors. I see my mother's royal cat companions, Artemis and Luna, sitting on my mother's arm rests. I sigh, and lean back. I pretty much tune out the entire thing, until someone mentions Earth. Only one thing pops into my mind. Darien. I worry, thinking the Earth is in danger and Darien could be in trouble. I want to scream out, but grit my teeth and sit still. All I hear is about how Queen Beryl is going to attempt to attack our Moon Kingdom. I sigh with relief, and feel my grip loosen on my chair arm rests. I was holding them so tight, my knuckles turned white. I tune out the rest and just focus on Earth. Such a weird planet, Earth. I push it out of my mind once the meeting is over.

"Serena, you didn't look like you were paying attention until someone mentioned Earth then you looked as if everything was all right and you stopped caring any more," my mother complains.

I groan, and say, "I can't help it if these things are boring. And I want to know more about Earth. I mean, we do orbit it so it must be special." I try to get Darien off my mind, but his handsome face keeps popping back up.

"Okay, if that's all," my mother says, giving me a quizzical look.

I stand up, stretch, and walk out of the throne room, ready for more fun stuff. Pretty much the rest of the day is mine. I decide to go out for a walk, and tell a palace worker where I'm going. I spend pretty much the rest of the night outside. At about 10 at night, I hear rustling of leaves. I start walking up to my palace. I stand on the balcony I have, just breathing the fresh air. I close my eyes, then feel a being next to me. I open my eyes, and turn to look at them, expecting my mother. But no, it's Darien! I rush into his arms, letting his arms surround me. I lean my head on his chest, and let him warm me up. I lift my head to look into his eyes, and smile. I put my head back down and just keep hugging. I know I've fallen in love. I pull away, and lean on the railing, having trouble with something.

"Something wrong Serena?" he asks, wrapping an arm around my shivering body.

"Ya, wondering how I'm gonna tell my mom that I've fallen in love with someone from Earth," I say, shaking my head.

Darien gently grabs my shoulders, and turns me to face him. "It'll be okay."

"Ya, sure. Wonder how my mom's gonna take having me in love with a being from Earth. I'm from the Moon! I know you're the Prince of the Earth, but a Prince from the Earth and a Princess from the Moon? My mom's gonna kill me," I say, a single tear falling down my cheek. Darien wipes it away, and looking at me straight in the face, grasping my face gently.

"Everything's gonna work out, okay? Even if your mom disapproves, who cares? We're in love, and that's all that matters," Darien says, smiling. "Now I have to get back to my planet, okay? But know I love you, and will never let you get hurt or anything."

"I love you, too," I say, letting him embrace me once more.

Darien jumps off the balcony, and disappears. How I miss him already. I trudge back into my room, and close the outside door. I slip off my dress, and into my night gown. I take off my shoes and take the clips from my hair. I undo my normal odango style for my hair, and climb into bed, happy it's a canopy one, so I can have privacy. I pull the blankets up to my shoulders, and drift off to a peaceful sleep, where I dream of Darien.
