resemble any other, it is pure coinkidink (coincidence), for the idea to
this story is purely mine, and mine alone.
A/N: Hi again! I'm attempting at writing another story, cause I have a pretty good idea in mind. Thank you for all your support for my previous attempts at writing, and I hope you all enjoy this story as well. This is dedicated to all you reviewers, and to my best friend Brittany, and her undying love for someone special.
Something else.....when I update my stories, the italics and bolds don't show up for some odd reason, so you might see some odd things to indicate thoughts for example. If anybody knows a solution to this problem, that would be GREAT!
Summary: She was labelled the 'Ice Queen', and he, 'The Charmer'. Will he succeed where others failed, on the journey to capture her heart? Does he have what it takes, to melt the heart of the Ice Queen? S/D
Breaking The Ice
Chapter 1
Princess Serenity gazed at her reflection, unconsciously smoothing out the delicate materials of her dress. {Oh, how I wish I didn't have to go tonight} she thought solemnly. Though she was prepared, all primped and pretty, she really had no intention of attending the ball tonight. Though it was being held in her honour, balls really didn't entertain her.
Today was her 19th birthday, a day which meant she should begin looking for a possible suitor. Though she has seen many before, none seemed to spark her interest.
A soft rapping at the door withdrew her from her thoughts.
"Come in!" she answered, her sweet voice ringing.
"My Lady, your presence is required in the ballroom, the guests are waiting." A timid girl spoke, as she dared not glance at her Princess.
Serenity gently lifted the girl's head so that she could stare into her eyes.
"Molly, how many times have I told you, please call me Serena, the formalities just aren't my thing." She explained gently.
The girl giggled, and nodded her head. "You look beautiful." She complimented, and indeed, the Princess looked extravagant.
With her gown glowing a soft shade of silver, a bodice sewn with diamonds and pearls that fitted her slim figure tightly, she looked like a goddess. Her hair was done up in the traditional 'Royal Odangos', or also known as 'Meatballs' style, and delicate hair ornaments were placed strategically about her head. Her eyes glowed an eerie blue, as the soft touched of eye makeup and lipstick accented her eyes and full lips.
Serenity gushed at her compliment, and muttered a soft 'thank you'.
"Well, we should be off, it is impolite to keep our *honoured* guests waiting." She said dryly, reluctantly leaving the security of her room.
Molly escorted her to the grand doors leading the ballroom. "Have fun tonight, Milady."
Serenity scowled at her, as to say 'Yeah, right'. And then, the doors opened wide.
Trumpets sounded, drums thundered, and a loud voice boomed.
"Presenting, our honourable hostess, Princess Serenity, Future Queen of the Moon, and Daughter of Elite Queen Serenity!"
It was a long walk down the stairs, dressed in a deep red carpet. She detested this part, every man ogled at her, as if she were some animal on display. As she reached the bottom of the stairs, her mother greeted her with a warm smile. Out of respect, Serenity bowed to her mother, only to receive a soft calling to rise. She stood by her mother, as her mother drowned into a 'thank you' speech, and something about choosing a husband. Serenity glanced here and there, attempting to distract herself from the speech.
"Let the festivities begin!" the Queen smiled. And with that, the music started, people grabbed onto their partners, and waltzed around the dance floor.
Serenity looked intently for guests she might recognise, but found none.
"Looking for us?"
Serenity whirled around, and was greeted by four grinning faces.
"Yes!" she squealed, and hugged each of them in turn. "Thank you so much for being here tonight, I don't know what I would do without this moral support." She groaned as she looked around and stared at the many men who wished to get to know her better, but none dared to step up.
Four girls laughed at this amusing sight. The bubbly blonde, Mina, Princess of Venus, was robed in a simple, yet elegant gown made of soft, silk orange material. And upon her head, she wore a crown of interwoven hearts, to signify her planet, the planet of Love.
Rei, the Princess of Mars, wore a dress of deep red, which accented her violet eyes. Though her dress may be showing a little more skin than intended, it suited her perfectly. And atop her head, was a crown of fire, which was cool to the touch, but reflected her personality quite well; fiery.
Lita, the Princess of Jupiter, was the brawn of the group. She dawned a dress of forest green, and for once, let her hair down. She wore a crown of intertwining thunderbolts, to signify her planet, the planet of Lightning.
Lastly, was Ami, Princess of Mercury, and quite possibly the smartest woman in the universe. Her gown was made of soft blue material, which floated this way and that. Her crown, made completely of ice, reflected her powers; Water and Ice.
"Sere, don't you think this is getting a little old? I mean, honestly. Hundreds, thousands of men would kill to be with you! And you turn them all down." Mina thought out loud.
Serenity glared at her. "No Mina, I don't like any of them, and I don't want any of them to like me. It's as simple as that." She stated.
Rei chuckled. "It's no use girls, she's sticking with her 'Ice Queen' title....I'd pay good money to see the man that gets to melt her." The fiery princess chattered.
The girls giggled airily. Serenity stalked off in search of food. At any festivity held by the moon, there were always many sweet and delights to feast upon.
She reached her destination and salivated at the sight of the many desserts set before her.
"Good Evening Princess." Came a deep voice.
"Good Evening." Serenity replied curtly, not even looking up to greet the voice.
"May I have this dance?" the man inquired, but didn't wait for a reply. He grabbed her by the waist, and pulled her towards him. Serenity squealed in surprise and dropped her morsel of cake.
The man had a vice like grip on her waist, refusing to let her go.
"Release me this instant." She spoke coldly, her eyes flashing dangerously. But the man did not release her. He continued to drag her around the dance floor, waltzing around, but completely offbeat. His hands roamed where no man has ever dared to go, and his head dipped low, as if trying to capture her lips with his.
The man stared hungrily at her, as if he were trying to undress her visually on the spot. Serenity, fuming with anger, did what came naturally; she gathered her powers, and sent them hurtling towards the man. Grinning a satisfactory grin, she walked off, leaving many of the guests staring. It was not often that one could witness a Royal displaying her abilities.
But not long after, the Queen and the Senshi came rushing towards Serenity, sensing a release in power.
"Serenity, what happened?" the Queen demanded. But she did not require an answer. Seeing a man lying unconscious on the floor, and her daughter grinning victoriously, this picture spoke more than a thousand words.
"Nothing mother. " Serenity said innocently, as she smoothed out her dress and fixed her hair.
The Queen sighed and turned away. It was hopeless....Serenity soon would be Queen, and there would be no one to rule by her side.
The Princess' who stood nearby could not contain their laughter anymore and exploded.
The blue-haired Princess dabbed at her cheeks where tears had fallen. "Oh Serenity, out of all people to attack, you attacked your next suitor! What will the Queen say?"
Serenity grinned. "Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later...I guess it happened sooner!" she shrugged.
The girls continued to giggle, but were interrupted suddenly.
"Princess, may I have the honour of this dance?" A silver-haired man stepped up and inquired.
"I am sorry Sir, I am quite tired and my feet ache, I do not wish to dance at the moment." She denied swiftly.
"But you seemed fine a moment ago." The man countered.
"Well, I am not anymore!" Serenity glared, outraged that the man dared to question her.
"Come Princess, all I ask is one dance, surely you can cope with that." The man said coldly, as he gripped her arm, attempting to pull her towards him.
Serenity let out a cry as the man grabbed on to her arm, bruising the delicate skin. But moments after, his hand had released. She looked up and saw the man lying on the floor, his silver hair here and there, and a man, tall, mysterious, and shaped similarly to a Greek God stood over him.
"You will obey when the Princess gives you an order, should you not, you will answer to me." He spoke calmly, but his words bore a cutting edge.
He turned to face Serenity, his frown replaced with a look of concern as he reached out to inspect her arm, which seemed fine, just a few red marks. Satisfied that no harm had been dealt to her, he stepped back and replaced his features with a smile that could woo any woman.
"My Princess, may I be so bold to ask for a dance?" The mysterious mans' baritone voice rumbled, and awakened the sleeping butterflies in a certain Princess.
But she stood her ground.
"I did not ask you to protect me. I can take care of myself, thank you very much. And just because you showed up and knocked some man unconscious, that does not mean you automatically get rewarded. Should I need a bodyguard, you be the first notified, rest assured. Good day Sir." And with that, the Princess turned on her heel and stalked off.
A surprised and dazed man stood there, his jaw hanging low. He did not expect that out of such a young girl. Four girls behind him sniggered. He turned to look at them, but immediately, their laughing faces were replaced with serious ones...or so it seemed. Each was rather chewing on their lips, or biting the inside of their cheeks. Another was completely turned around, and looked just about ready to keel over.
The crowd that had gathered slowly dissipated and left the man standing there, his face glowing an interesting shade of red.
