Romance in the Silver Millennium
Chapter 1:
A Nickname for Serena
It was a typical day at the palace on the moon. Princess Serena was trying to concentrate on studying how to be a queen and practicing her ice skating skills. Ice-skating was a very popular and competitive sport on the moon. There was only one other person as good as Princess Serena and that was Princess Lita of the Planet Jupiter.
"Hey Lita," Serena yelled at Lita who was walking in the opposite direction.
"Hi princess. Have you seen the new prince from earth? He just arrived here today." Lita responded. She was wearing a sparkling green dress and was carrying a purse the same color.
"No, I haven't met him yet. Want to go ask my mother if she has met him yet?"
"Not now. Do you want to go ice skating?"
"Sure. We my as well ask her because that is where my ice skates are," Serena responded with a sigh. They walked through the halls like every elegant Princess should. As they neared the throne room, they heard the queen speaking to some one else in the room.
"Mother are you in there?" Serena asked in a worried voice as she walked into the room. Beside her was Lita with an amazed look on her face.
"That's the prince from earth," Lita whispered to Serena who was speechless.
"Serena! What have you come here for? I did not expect you back until supper tonight," Queen serenity asked her with a confused look on her face.
"I met Lita in the hall so we decided to go ice skating and ask you if you had meet the prince from earth that Lita was telling me about," she responded.
"I see you have already meet him Queen Serenity," Lita said with a sparkle in her green eyes.
"Yes I have. Serena, I would like you to meet Prince Darien from earth." Queen Serenity told Serena.
"Hi princess," Darien said with a slight bow. The way he said it was in a very sweet and loving voice. The queen could tell that he was in love with her daughter.
"Lita come with me, the two of them might want to talk,' Serenity told Princess Lita. They walked out of the room and out into he courtyard.
"Hi Prince Darien, I am honored to meet you. Are things going fine on earth?" Serena asked. Her eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Things are doing great on earth, well, most of the time." He responded. Just then Lita walked into the room.
"Well, come on Serena. Let's go so we have time to ice skate," Lita said with enthusiasm in her voice. The two started to walk off as Serena got her ice skates.
"When will I see you again," Darien yelled at Serena. But it was too late. They were already too far down the hall to hear him.
"Don't worry, you will see her later tonight," Queen Serenity told him.

"I want you to meet my boyfriend," Lita told Serena. "He is going to meet us at the ice skating rink."
"Okay," Serena responded.
"Hey you two! Where you headed?" Rei asked walking up to the two of them. She was Princess Rei Hino of the planet mars. She wore a red velvet dress and had long black hair.
"Hi Rei," Serena responded to her. The two of them argue often but they are the best of friends. "Lita and I are going ice skating. Do you want to come with us?"
"Sure, but I'll be late. I have to meet Jedite at my place in 5 minutes," Rei responded.
"Okay, if you see the others tell them too," Lita told Rei as she walked off.
"Well I guess we're on our own for a while," Serena commented as they walked into the Ice skating rink. They laced up their skates quickly and stepped onto the ice. "Want to race around the rink?" she questioned.
"Sure. Last one there doesn't get any cheese cake," Lita said as they started off. Princess Serena was gliding along the ice peacefully and then suddenly, before she knew it, Whack! She slammed right into a wall.
"Owwwwwww," She started to pout as Lita skated to a stop.
"I see the princess has lived up to her reputation as a klutz," a familiar voice said. Serena looked behind her only to see Prince Darien from earth laughing at her. "Maybe I should call you meatball head.
