A/N: Hello everyone! How are you all~? Excited for winter? I know I am, because that means escape from my hell of a school. Anyways...

I know it's been a while since I've written a Sailor Moon story, and this idea came to me while I was on Tumblr- I MEAN, doing homework. I'm a UsaXMamo fan, but I thought that this fic would be very nice, as we don't see much from Dimande's perspective in the series, so yeah. But, just so you all know, THIS IS A USA X MAMO FANFIC, NOT A USA X DIMANDE FIC. The main characters are labeled as Usagi (or, in this case, Serenity) and Dimande because the story revolved mainly around them and Mamoru (Endymion), but I can't add a third character, so yeah. T_T

Enjoy Chapter 1!

I do not own Sailor Moon.

Chapter 1

"Once you understand this equation, you can solve the question, all right?"

"Mhm."

"And so, as we take the square root and- Serenity, are you even listening?"

"Mhm."

"Serenity!"

Blinking from a daydreaming to a surprised manner, the young princess turned to her blue-haired tutor, wondering how long she had been gazing out her window instead of learning the "simple arithmetic" Mercury had been blabbing on about for what seemed like hours. She smiled politely at the senshi of water as she tucked a wisp of hair behind her ear, hoping she hadn't noticed her lack of attention towards the lesson. "Yes, Mercury?"

"Stop gawking out the window like a lovesick fool and listen to what I'm teaching you!" Sailor Mercury scolded, her blue eyes as icy as her element at the moment. "Your mother isn't too happy with your marks lately, and the senshi and I have been trying to come up with silly excuses to cover up your little attention spam. Now, pay attention!"

"But it's so boring!" Serenity complained, propping up on her elbows and trying to ignore Mercury's glare. "All the subjects are so boring and I don't even see what the point is in learning them! For the love of Artemis, how is the quadratic formula supposed to help me later on in life?"

"Oh dear. It'll begin soon," Mercury thought as Serenity's cerulean eyes continued gazing out the window at the planet next door. "In 3, 2, 1..."

"All except for History." Serenity said dreamily, twirling a strand of silvery-blonde hair around her index finger, and a frustrated Mercury threw her hands in the air. "Here she goes, once again."

"History will help me learn more about the solar system and how to govern when I'm older." Said the princess, not taking her eyes off of her target, "And it'll especially teach me how to interact with the people of Earth."

"Serenity, you know interaction between Lunarians and Earthlings is strictly forbidden unless it's to discuss an issue within the solar system." Mercury sighed, and Serenity rolled her eyes, annoyed as it was most likely the 10 millionth time someone had reminded her that. "I know, but still! I know that someday, Lunarians and Earthlings will unite together once again. May it be for war or for no reason at all, we will be together someday."

Mercury half-smiled at her princess' speech, despite having heard it many times already. Lightly chuckling, she patted her hand. "All right, Serenity. Are you ready to move on to History?"

A large smile crept onto Serenity's face, her expression beaming as she turned to her friend. "Yes!" She exclaimed. "Of course I am!"

Mercury nodded and turned around to grab the History book. "Now we'll continue where we left off last time: the battle of the Emerald-"

The door burst open, and there stood a disheveled blonde, her golden hair extending in different directions as she huffed, out of breath. Wiping her sweat off of her forehead, she wheezed, "Prince...here...EARLY!"

"...Venus?" Serenity and Mercury asked, a bit shocked by her sudden appearance, and she slowly dragged over, as if she had just escaped a frenzy.

"Prince Dimande has reached here early!" Venus gasped, and Mercury blinked in shock. "What? But I thought he wasn't supposed to arrive until the end of this week?" The two started to fret in an upset manner as Serenity's two other senshi, Jupiter and Mars, entered the room, looking like the same manner Venus had been in a few moments ago. "Venus," Mars wheezed, "I know those training camps have taught you well, but for the love of Phobos!" She wiped her forehead and pushed a wisp of disheveled black hair behind her ear, "You didn't have to run that hard!"

Serenity, however, tapped a finger on her chin as she tried to remember who their visitor was. "Hmm...has Mother mentioned him?" she asked questioningly, ignoring the senshi's crazed states, "Because I feel like his name sounds extremely familiar, but I can't exactly place my finger on it...Oh Diana, who is he?"

"Serenity..." Mercury looked at her princess, biting her lip, "He's one of the princes from Earth." She quietly whispered, and Serenity's eyes widened. "WHAT?" She yelled, running over to her senshi and shaking each of them by the shoulders. "Really?" Her blue eyes sparkled with pure delight and excitement as they nodded slowly, astonished by their princess' excitement, and she ran around her room, claiming of how she "wasn't presentable" and "clearly not fit to see an Earthling".

Suddenly, Venus grabbed her princess' arm, preventing her from any further changes as half the princess' hair was open, the other half pulled up in it's usual odango-ponytail hairstyle. "Venus, let me go!" The young one struggled to escape from the strong warrior's grip, but the other blonde shook her head. "That's why your mother sent me up here quickly, Serenity." She said, loosening her grip slightly on the princess' arm, "She doesn't want you to see the Earth prince."

Serenity's jaw dropped in disbelief. "What? Why ever not?"

"The queen doesn't want you to..." Jupiter began, but then looked away, mumbling very quietly under her breath something about a stalker, and then shook her head. "Nonetheless, the queen has forbade us from letting you leave this room until the prince has found a room for his stay in the palace."

Huffing angrily, Serenity crossed her arms and pouted. "Mother never lets me have any fun!" She complained, and sat down on one of her chairs, upset. "I mean, it's not like I'm going to neglect all my other duties just to meet him! It's not like I'm going to fall in love with him or something! I'm sixteen, what's she thinking?" She sniffled, her voice starting to break, "It's just a simple meeting, for Selene's sake!"

Seeing small crystal blue tears starting to form in her princess' eyes, Venus sighed and walked over, placing a gloved hand assuringly on the sobbing Serenity's head, patting it lovingly. She then turned to the senshi and nodded, indicating her knowing how to handle the situation. The other senshi nodded back, and then left the room, closing the door as Venus smiled at her princess. "I'm sure the queen is doing what she thinks is best for your sake, Serenity." she said, "She loves you very much, you know that, right? Maybe she just doesn't think this is right, and I'm sure she has a reason."

Serenity wiped away a tear as her cerulean eyes widened in surprise. She then half-smiled and nodded. Venus patted the princess' head again and started to open her hair, brushing it with her hairbrush. "Besides, we can imagine our own dream prince in here while we wait, can't we?"

Serenity giggled and nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! Can I go first, V-chan? Please?"

Venus laughed warmly. "Sure, Serenity."

"Sing the song first."

"But Serenity-"

"Come on, V-chan! If we play the game, you have to sing the song!"

Sighing at the princess' stubbornness, Venus rolled her eyes as she continued to brush her hair. "Fine."

"O lovely maiden,

I approach you with simply my voice and my musical lyre,

So tell me now, please, for I wish to know:

What is the kind of prince you desire?"

Serenity laughed softly as she gently rocked back and forth on her chair, kicking her barefoot feet high up and thinking for a rhyme to use as a reply for Venus' question.

"With twinkling sapphire eyes, dark hair black as ebony who will hold me tight in his arms-

That is the type of prince I wish to have as we sit underneath a night of stars."

Venus raised an eyebrow, confused and surprised as she had never heard her princess reply to that song before. Serenity would just giggle and respond with "a charming prince!" whenever she sang the song, but today she had actually responded. Was her little princess finally growing up?

Then again, the young heiress was only sixteen at the moment, so that didn't mean she was entirely ready for love or already planning on what type of suitor to marry...right?

Blinking in confusion and shock, she continued to brush the princess' hair, and then cleared her throat. "Serenity, why do you say-"

Venus immediately stopped talking when she heard muffled giggling. She looked down at the princess, who was covering her mouth as she tried not to laugh. "Were you messing with me, Serenity?" She demanded, and the princess started to burst further into laughter, not being able to control herself. "You...actually...believed me..!" She gasped, and Venus could feel a bit of rage bubble inside her. "Serenity!"

Wiping a tear from her eye, Serenity continued to giggle. "Sorry, V-chan. Your facial expression was hilarious, though!"

And immediately after, the blonde senshi started to chase her constantly giggling princess around the room.

Silently closing her bedroom door, Serenity looked around the dark hallway to make sure there was no one else present. Letting out a small sigh of relief, she turned and saw the doors to the rooms of all her guardian senshi, all closed, which was much to her happiness. She continued to tip-toe softly across the carpeted floor, considering herself a genius for taking off her small heels before sneaking out, as she didn't want anyone to hear her, knowing she'd get into some deep trouble with her mother.

Then again, when didn't she get in trouble with the queen?

Slowly turning the doorknob that lead to the main stairway, Serenity bit her lip as it let out a loud squeak, turning around to see if anyone had awoken. To her comfort, the small noise hadn't risen any of the senshi, and she let out another sigh of relief. "Oh thank Selene," She thought, placing her hand on her chest, "For a second there I thought I-"

"Serenity, for goodness' sake!"

Letting out a small cry, Serenity staggered back, covering her mouth with her hand as she turned around and saw a disappointed Venus. The soldier of love was in her golden-colored nightgown, yet there were no signs of sleep on her face. She shook her blonde hair back and forth in disapproval at the princess as she crossed her arms in front of her chest, and Serenity pursed her lips. "V-chan! I-I was just going to get a glass of water! You know, all this excitement isn't letting me sleep, and-"

Venus held up a hand, and the princess silenced at once. "Serenity, you were going to go meet the prince, weren't you?" She demanded, and Serenity looked down in guilt, mumbling quietly under her breath an apology.

Laughing quietly, Venus grabbed her princess' hand. "Well, come on, silly! He's not going to be around forever, you know!"

Serenity blinked, her cerulean eyes confused. "B-But Venus-"

The blonde winked and held a finger to her lips. "Shh. It'll be our little secret. And besides, if you're going to be doing any sneaking around," Venus placed her free palm on a grey stone in the wall, opening the door very quietly, to Serenity's surprise, "you're going to need me, got that?"

Serenity felt her cheeks blush a deep red as her senshi's leader smiled, and then giggled. Of course she could count on Venus. "Yes ma'am!"

"Is this it?" Serenity quietly whispered, and Venus gently slapped her on the wrist, immediately silencing her. "Yes, but be quiet! Lord knows what your mother will do if she finds out that I encouraged you into sneaking out!"

Serenity nodded apologetically at her and took a step forward, joining her as the two peered over the corner into the throne room.

There, in the magnificent main hall of the whole palace, stood her mother as she nodded at the visitors, her mature silver eyes watching their every move carefully, as if expecting something. Serenity felt a small feeling of anger at her mother, upset that she would suspect such a thing from such amazing people. Shaking the thought away, she looked at the visitors in front of her.

There stood a silver-haired man, dressed royally in a dark blue, white, and purple suit, the colors matching the mysterious-like amethyst color of his eyes. Serenity blinked, amazed by how royal the man looked, and then stood on her toes towards Venus. "V-chan, who do you think that is?"

Venus shrugged. "I don't know. But he sure looks important."

"We should go ask him!" Serenity rose from her position, about to enter, when Venus grabbed her arm, pulling her back. "Are you crazy?" She demanded. "Have you forgotten that your mother is in there, Serenity?"

Serenity's mouth formed an "O" shape, and she nodded, remembering the fact that she and Venus would get in a whole lot of trouble if they were noticed. She pursed her lips and tip-toed back behind the senshi, continuing to watch Queen Serenity and the mysterious man.

"I understand your plea," Queen Serenity said hesitantly, "But I'm not entirely sure if I can help you with your problem. It would go against every rule, and I don't want neither the Moon Kingdom nor Earth looked down upon by the rest of the solar system."

The man looked down, nodding silently. After a few moments, he then bowed. "I understand, your highness. Thank you for your-"

All of a sudden a loud shout was yelled, and the four looked behind them at the door, seeing two soldiers struggling to keep a man captive under their arms. "Your highness, we caught this Earthling trespassing!" One reported, holding down their captive, despite his struggle. The man's dark hair was disheveled, his blue eyes angry as he looked at the white-haired man. "Dimande, tell these men to let me go!"

Dimande's eyes widened in surprise, and he turned to the queen. "Your highness, please tell your men to release him!"

Queen Serenity blinked, confused. "Dimande, who is-"

"He's my cousin! He doesn't mean any harm!""

The queen blinked again, and then turned towards the soldiers, nodding at them. The two loosened their grip on him, apologizing quietly yet curtly. The man brushed the dust off of him, nodding in the same manner, and then bowed to the queen. "My apologies, your highness. I didn't mean to make such a scene."

Venus turned to Serenity. "Serenity, can you believe- Serenity?"

The young princess didn't respond to her; instead, her light blue eyes seemed to be focused on the man who had just entered. She had that look in her eye. That look. The look Venus knew very much, as she was a master of her element.

All of a sudden, Serenity's previous words echoed inside her mind. " 'With twinkling sapphire eyes, dark hair black as ebony who will hold'-" She looked at the man, staring at his dark blue eyes and dark hair, inhaling a low gasp. "Impossible."

But it was true, and there was nothing she could do.

Her dear Serenity was in love.

A/N: Yippee, finally finished! :D
