Title: Forbidden Romance
Chapter 1: A Princess's Day
The sun rose over the earth and the light found its way into a window in a castle. The light shined on a silver comforter giving off a silver glow. The glow made the room look like the inside of a silver pearl. The girl who lied under the cover woke up to this shine every day and was always looking forward to being in this glimmer. She turned to her side, looking outside of the window, and saw a big blue pearl in the window. This big blue pearl is the beautiful Planet Earth. She also looked forward to seeing the blue planet every time she woke up.
She got out of the bed and walked over to the window and just stared at the planet with her hands together like if she was praying. The Planet Earth has many beautiful things like the big oceans, the green forests, the different kinds of people who live there, and all the different kinds of animals. She wanted to go back, but her mother would never let her because there are rules that forbid them from going down to earth. The rules say that the people of the moon have a duty to protect the Silver Imperial Crystal. They also have to clear all the evil from the planet and watch and guide the people of earth on a good path. The people of the earth and moon must never have communication because the gods forbid this. All of a sudden, the door burst open, and a cheerful voice ring out. "Good morning princess, did you sleep well?" It was Sailor Venus; she was always cheerful in the morning.
Sailor Venus was a very cheerful young woman. Whenever she was with someone, she always tried to make him or her happy. With her long blonde hair and blue eyes, she sometimes looked like the Goddess of Love herself when she is dressed in her yellow dress. Sailor Venus was one of her best friends and the leader of the four Sailor Warriors that protect her.
"Good morning Venus, yes I slept fine, thank you," the princess said back while still looking out the window.
Sailor Venus stood at the door watching her princess, then for a second the princess looked like the Moon Goddess Selene. Mostly because of her long silver hair, that comes ways below the ankles and her sky blue eyes. The only thing that does keep people from thinking that she is the Moon Goddess is her golden crescent moon on her forehead.
Venus always found her princess looking outside the window in the morning, looking at the Earth, Venus understands why but she cannot help her friend but just feel sorry for her. She sighed, closed the door behind her, and continued into the room and her duties, "Let's get you dress, ok," Sailor Venus walked over to the closet and started to put together the princess's clothes and put them on the bed.
The Princess walked over to the bed and got dressed. She put on a long white dress that made her figure come out. It had ruffled straps on her arms just below the shoulders. "So, where is everyone, why is it that you are the only one to see me this morning?" she asked with a curious voice.
"They are all doing things, but I think Sailor Mercury is coming," Venus said while helping the princess.
"Oh," was the only thing the princess said.
Then the door opened slowly and a blue haired girl walked into the room. It was Sailor Mercury. With her short hair she sometimes looked like a boy expect in her light blue dress. However, with her high IQ of 300, she is the brain of the team. She was a very quiet young woman but when she had something to say, she said it. Sailor Mercury like Venus was her best friend and one of the Sailor Warriors that protected her. "Good morning Princess Serenity," she said while walking up with a tray of food.
"Good morning Mercury," Serenity said with a smile and a hungry voice.
"Princess, can you sit here so I can do your hair, you can eat after I am done," Venus pointed to a chair. The chair was in front of a mirror, with a table full of perfumes and jewelry.
"Ok," Serenity walked over, sat down in the chair, and watched as Venus started to put her hair into two buns with pigtail coming down. Sometimes people say that her hair looked funny, but they would never laugh because it is the royal hairstyle and it would hurt her feelings.
"So Mercury, what do I have to do today?" Serenity asked with an unhappy voice. She hoped that she will say nothing because she would like to have some time to herself. However, she knows she could not because she was the only heir to the Silver Millennium and she had things to learn.
"First, there are some things I need to teach you, second you have a fire reading with Sailor Mars, and your mother approved you getting a cooking lesson from Sailor Jupiter. Then your mother would like to talk with you about something; I do not know what. After that, come back to me so I can continue your lesson," Mercury said answering the princess's question.
"Do I ever get to have time to be by myself?" the princess said with a tried voice. She then put her jewelry on: a bracelet, earrings, and a ring her mother gave her. She then picked up a tiny box and took out two hairpins with three little white pearls on them. She put them in her hair just above the bangs.
[I wish just for once that I could be myself, just for a little while,] Serenity thought to herself.
"No, you have so many things to do being the supreme princess of the solar system and all," Mercury said taking Serenity out of her thoughts.
"I know that but can't I just think about it and wish it," Serenity said to her friends in a sad voice. Venus and Mercury just looked at each other.
Venus put the last pin to Serenity's hair, "All done," she said while putting the comb back on the table.
Serenity looked up and saw two buns on her head. She looked past herself and saw two smiling faces behind her. She got up, turned around, and looked at her friends, then through the window at the blue planet and back at them. "Okay, let's eat and then get going," she said to her friends with a smile. She walked over to the table and started to eat.
After Serenity was done they turn to the door and walked out; she followed but stopped at the door, looked back through the window at Earth and sighed, and then continued out the door.
She walked down a white marble hallway to a blue looking door. Venus opened the door and walked in, Sailor Mercury followed her. The door opened to a medium size room with a table with many books stacked on top. The room rather looked like a library but smaller. However, this room was for studying.
Venus walked over to a chair and picked up a book and started to read. Mercury walked over to the table, she points to a chair and then sits down is another chair. Princess Serenity walks over to the chair and sits down too. Mercury starts to talk about different subjects. Princess Serenity listens but she is not too fond of the topics Mercury is talking about because they bored her.
After a few hours, the teaching lesson is done and the Princess has to go to a reading with Sailor Mars. Venus and the Princess leave the room and Mercury stays behind to study some more. They walk down a hallway until they get to a red door that has the symbol of Mars on it; this room leads to Sailor Mars's chambers.
They open the door and see Sailor Mars sitting in front of a fire. Sailors Mars is very spiritual, and not easily angered young woman. However, when they think of a warrior of Mars, they think a war-like person. She has long black hair like the darkest night and purple eyes like the night sky. Most people would think that Sailor Mars reads tarot cards, but when they hear that she reads fire, they find this unusual for a spiritual person like her. However, this is not just any normal fire, but the sacred fire of mars, which only she can call upon. Mars can see the future, past, or present in the fire and today she is going to read the fire for Princess Serenity. However, Mars too is a Sailor Warrior who protects the Princess and Sailor Mars is one of Serenity's friends.
Venus and the Princess walk up behind her and sit down. Mars turns around and smiles at Venus and the Princess, then turns back to the fire. She sits there in front of the fire with her hands together. Then the fire blazes high than dies. Mars's eyes open fast, like if she was in shook. She stares at the coals for some time. "What did you see?" Princess Serenity's voice comes out, breaking Mars's thoughts.
"I didn't see anything," Mars answers with a weary voice.
"I find that hard to believe," said Princess Serenity.
"Well, I did not see anything this time, so why don't you just go and see Jupiter," Mars says in an angry voice. Mars gets up and walks over to the window, then folded her arms in front of her chest.
Venus helps Princess Serenity up and escorts her out of the room. However, Venus does not leave the room; she walks over to Mars and puts a hand on her shoulder. "What did you see, please tell me, I need to know," she asks with a calm voice.
Mars looks at her friend with sad eyes, "I saw our princess in pain, so much pain," than tears came down her face. "She was sad and in pain," she puts her head on Venus's shoulder.
Venus puts her arms around her friend; she has never seen Mars so upset, "What could be so bad that makes you so upset? Do you know what makes her sad and in pain?" she asks with a comforting voice.
Mars just shakes her head.
Venus holds her friend for a few minutes then picks up Mars's chin, "Don't worry we will look after her, so nothing can cause her to be in pain, okay," she said with confidence in her voice.
Mars's eyes widen with hope; "We will protect her." She gives Venus another hug, "Thank you; I almost forgot what it means to be a Sailor Warrior."
"I know that is why I am the leader because I know what to say and I will always try to make it happen no matter what," Venus said while putting her chin up. They then started to laugh which did them both good.
"I will read the fire again, because I want to be sure," Mars walks over to the fire and starts to meditate again. The fire returns.
Venus walks over to the door then stops and looks back, "That would be a good idea, will you be alright?" she said in a concerned voice.
"I think so; thank you," Mars said without looking back.
Venus smiles at Mar are back then open the door and walks out. Mars turns to the door and smile, then turns back to the fire.
Princess Serenity was standing at the window looking at the Earth again when Venus came out. "So, what did you two talk about?" she said while turning around.
"Nothing, lets go to the kitchen; Sailor Jupiter is wanting for us," then Venus starts to head down the hallway.
Serenity looks at her shrugging her shoulders, and then follows her to the kitchen. Venus walks up to a door then opens it and it opens to a large kitchen.
They find Sailor Jupiter with a cookbook, apron, and flour all over her. She looks up, then gives a smile, "Hello, Princess, Venus; how are you doing today? I am having some trouble with this recipe."
"I find that hard to believe," Sailor Venus said while putting her hands on her hip.
Jupiter laughs, "I guess so." She looks back down at the book. Sailor Jupiter is the practical minded Warrior and she is independent and strong willed. With her bright red hair that matches her personality and her eyes that are green like her dress.
"What are you trying to make?" Princess Serenity asks with hunger in her eyes.
"I am making moon cakes and do not touch anything," Jupiter said while tapping the Princess's hand away with a wooden spoon.
"Well can I help, I am here for a cooking lesson," Serenity said while folding her arms in front of her and giving an angry look.
"I am sorry but today I can't, I have a lot of moon cakes to cook," Jupiter said while putting something into the bowl in front of her.
"How many do you have to make and why?" the Princess asks with curiosity.
"Well," she looks back at a table that looks like it has a dozen cakes on it. "I think another two dozen and I will have enough and they are for that party your mother is planning." She starts to stir the bowl. Then after a few stirs, she pours the batter into a pan. She takes the pan and puts it into an oven. "Well, I better finish this one," she walks over to a pan that is sitting next to the flower. She starts to put what looks like white frosting on the cake.
"Well, we better leave you to your work. Come Princess, we have to go see the Queen," Venus taps the Princess on her shoulder than walks to the door.
The Princess turns to the door but stops "Isn't the party a week and half away so why are you doing this now?" she asks over her shoulder, then turns to face Jupiter.
"Some of this is for desert after tonight's dinner and I just wanted to get it out of the way," she said while finishing the cake and putting it next to the others on the table behind her. "Do not worry they will be fresh for the party." She then gives the Princess a thumb's up and starts to put together another batter.
Princess Serenity smiles then heads out the door. Venus is leaning on the wall next to the door when she comes out. Venus has her arms crossed in front of her.
"Well, can we go now," she straightens and walks down the hallway they just came from.
Serenity just shakes her head and than follows her down the hallway. They walk for a while and Serenity stops to look out the window at the Earth and thinks [I want to go to it again,] then continues down the hallway.
They finally come to a pair of golden double doors with all the cycles of the moon on it. Sailor Venus opens the doors to a large room with columns going down in two rows. At the end of the rows they see Sailor Mars, a dark hair woman in a yellow outfit, two fairies, and her mother sitting in a chair in front of them. Princess Serenity walks down the hall to her mother.
Her mother, Queen Serenity has silver hair like her daughter, and violet eyes. She wears a long white dress that goes down to the floor; it has no straps, and she also has a golden crescent moon in the front like a broach. The Queen has a gold crescent moon on her forehead too.
"Good morning Serenity," the Queen stands, and then gives her daughter a hug. "I would like you to meet someone, Princess Serenity meet Luna." The Queen's hand points to a black haired petite woman with the same hairstyle just doubled but with it down also and blue eyes. She also has a gold crescent moon on her forehead. She is wearing a yellow petite dress, with black lining, and a crescent moon nickels.
Luna bows "It is a pleasure to meet you your highness," she says still bowing.
"Luna is from the planet Mau and she will be your guardian and mentor," Queen Serenity says to her daughter.
"I swear to never leave your side," Luna says standing up.
"Thank you, but mother, I cannot have this person with me everywhere I go," Serenity protests. She than crosses her arms in front of her chest.
The Queen just smiles at her unexacting daughter, "Luna if you please." Then a glow surrounds Luna and the glow slowly goes down and there was a black cat with blue eyes and a crescent moon on her forehead.
The Princess stands there with her mouth open; she then bends down to the cat, "Luna?" was all she could say.
"Yes it is I, Luna."
Serenity jumps back with surprise, "Oh my god, the cat can talk," she said aloud.
The Queen just laughs and so does Luna "Yes dear it's Luna; this is the form she will be taking with us."
"Will this be alright for you, your highness," Luna says to Serenity. Luna walks up to the Princess feet and sits down.
Serenity bends down and picks up the cat "Call me … Serenity," than she starts to cuddle the cat. Luna starts to purr back and everyone starts to laugh again. Everyone just watches the happy pair.
Then Serenity sees the two fairies each holding a single black feather in one of their hands. Both of them have black hair much like Sailor Mars, but one is wearing a dark blue outfit, the other a dark red one and they both have a black star on their chests. She looks at them with a curious look, "Who are they?" she asks no one. Then she looks at her mother.
"This is Phobos and Deimos; they are from the planet Coronis. They are here to be Sailor Mars's partners and they will protect and train her in her growing meditation skills," the Queen answers her daughter. She then sets back down in the chair behind her.
"It looks like today we both get people to look after us," Mars says to the Princess.
"Like Luna is they going to turn into cats?" the Princess asks her mother, and then she puts Luna on the ground.
"No, go ahead and show them," the Queen says to the small girls. Like Luna, they too started to glow and after the glowing died, they saw two black crows where the little girls were.
"Oh my god," came Mars, her mouth falls open. She bends down to them, "Phobos, Deimos, is that you?" she asked the crows. The crows shack their heads up and down. "Can't they talk like Luna does?" Mars asks the Queen.
"No, for some reason they can't and we haven't figured it out yet, but if they have something important to say they will turn back and say it," the Queen replies. The Queen put her hand to her head like if she had a headache. "Sailor Venus, Mars you can go now," said the Queen. They bowed, then left, and the crows followed. The Queen looks at the Princess, "Serenity, I was thinking that you should be getting married."
"But mother I don't love anyone, how can I get married?" Serenity says with a disagreeing voice. She then crossed her arms in front of her with a mad face.
"Please don't give me that face, you need to get married for the good of the Kingdom," she pauses. She closes her eye and continues, "And don't give me you can't. I will look to see if there are any good suitors," she pauses again. She then opens her eyes, and sees a sad look on the Princess; she sighs, "Ok, if you can find someone by the party you don't have to get married if you don't want to."
Serenity runs to her mother and gives her a big hug, "Thank you mother," she says happily. She then walks to Luna, picks her up and starts to leaves.
"Serenity," the Queen said.
Serenity turns, "Yes, mother."
"Can you leave Luna I need to talk to her?" the Queen says while standing.
"Ok," then the princess put Luna down and leave the room.
"Come here Luna," then the Queen walks around the throne to a white door with a shining moon carved on it. She touches the door very lightly and then it opens. "This is our shine, the center of the Moon Castle…" the door opens to a room made of white marble with a tower in the middle. "It is called The Prayer room…" the Queen then points to a tower, "and that is the Crystal Tower…our column of prayer…" She then turns to Luna, "If anything ever happens to this world or our loved ones… We must pray to that tower… Then this planet would protect us. Our Moon would protect us. Do you understand Luna?" the Queen finishes. "I am telling you this so if something happens you can help protect the ones we love; manly the Princess Serenity."
Luna nods her head.
"Good, now go to your mistress."
Luna then runs out of the Prayer room. The Queen stays where she is looking after Luna, but there is a sad look on her face. [I just prey you never have too.]
When Luna leaves the throne room, she finds just Venus and the princess wanting for her. Venus is saying something to the Princess, "I am glad you like Luna and it looks like Luna likes you too," she says smiling.
"Yes, me too," the Princess answers.
Luna smiles with the Princess answer and then jumps to Serenity's shoulder.
"Oh, Luna you're back," the princess says surprised.
"So what did you talk about with the Queen," asks Venus.
"Nothing, you probably need to know about," Luna says back.
"Why you, how dare you talk to me like that. I am the leader of the Sailor Warrior's" Venus says angrily.
Serenity just laughs. "Now, please don't fight you two," then she rubs Luna's head. She looks up at the window, and sees the Earth. "Before we go back to Mercury, can we go see the gardens, it looks so pretty outside in the dome and if I am going to study I would like to have some time to relax first," the Princess asks.
Venus looks at her with a sad face because she knows how her friend does not have anytime for herself. "Ok, but only for a little while because Mercury is waiting for us," answering with a sad voice.
Serenity looks down from the window and looks at Venus, "Thank you," she said in a quiet voice. Then she puts Luna down on the ground, "Luna, please don't tell mother, ok."
Luna puts her head down, with a sad look.
"Please Luna, I need a break, even just for a little while," she peels to her new friend.
The cat looks at her new mistress, "I won't tell, I will even go to your room and wait for you if you wish."
Serenity smiles, "Can you go tell Mercury I am going to be late," she say's to her friend.
Luna nods and runs to the room were Mercury is. Serenity watches Luna runs down the hallway and wonders how someone like her can be a guardian, and how she became her guardian. In her mind, she feels she does not need a guardian. However, she cannot say this to her mother. Luna seems like a nice person even if she can turn into a cat or human, she thinks they will grow to know each other.
"Well, are we going?" Venus's voice came from behind.
Serenity turns around and sees Venus standing behind her with her arms cross in front of her. She smiles and then walks pass her. They came to a doorway that leads to a big garden fall of flowers.
The garden has different kinds of flowers like Moon daisies; they are call this because they give off a white glow like if they are small moons and you can only find them on the moon. In addition to the Moon Daisy, there is a blue-green flower call Earthling, the reason for this is because it looks like the Earth. You can also find many flowers from Earth. However, there is one flower that Serenity likes a lot and that is the Red Rose. Even if they cannot make communication, they still go down to Earth sometimes to get these flowers. Mostly because the moon cannot grow its own flowers besides the two they have. They go down to get dirt, and plant them in this garden just for the royalty. A dome comes over the whole castle. In the dome it is lush and green, with a fresh wind that blows through it, but it is all-fake.
Serenity walks over to a bench and sits down. "Venus, can I be alone for a few minutes?" Serenity says to Venus without turning around. Venus leaves her princess to her thoughts. Serenity looks up at the sky and sees many stars twinkling above her. She looks down to the horizon and sees the Earth; big and beautiful.
[I want to go again,] she thinks to herself. "I want to feel the real wind…" She sighs, and then a determined look forms on her face. "I am going again, and no one will stop me," she says aloud then gets up from her bench. She walks forward then stops and then closes her eyes. Then her crescent moon on her forehead starts to grow. Then a faint glow starts to surround her.
Venus suddenly sees the faint glow, and realized it was coming from where the Princess was. She runs over and finds the Princess gone. "Serenity, Serenity where are you?" she yells. She then looks at the Earth; [She wouldn't, would she?] She thinks to herself. "Serenity," she yells at the Earth.
