Queen Rini looked up at the full blue moon and then looked down to her daughter, who was born recently. She smiled as she watched her sleep and very gently, she kissed her forehead lovingly. The child stirred and looked up at her mother with her big dark sapphire eyes and whined softly before falling asleep again. The queen chuckled softly as she watched her, and very gently rocked her as she hummed a lullaby. She was watching her daughter sleep so intensely, that she did not noticed a tall looming figure walk toward her. She jumped slightly when someone touched her shoulder gently and she heard a deep chuckle come from behind her. She turned around gently and smiled lovingly at her husband. He smiled down at her and pulled her closer to his body gently not to wake their baby. He kissed her passionately and stopped when they heard a faint whine coming from between them. They chuckled quietly and parted smiling lovingly at each other. He looked away from her dark ruby eyes to look at their daughter sleeping.

"May I hold her?" He asked in a whisper

She smiled and nodded once as she handed their daughter to him. He grabbed her carefully, trying not to wake her and cradled her near his chest. He smiled down at her admiring his daughter, and looked up to his wife, his smile growing.

"She has your face and your eyes"

"She has your eye color" she replied

They both chuckled quietly and they looked at their daughter, both in deep thought.

"What shall we name her?" Rini asked

He looked down at his daughter and smiled very widely

"Sapphira" He whispered lovingly

"I'm sorry?"

"Sapphira" He said again as he looked to his wife

She smiled lovingly and walked to her family, and put her arms around his waist as she smiled down at their daughter.

"Sapphira, what a beautiful name for a beautiful princess." She whispered

And both of them looked up to the moon, and it looked like the blue seemed to glow a darker blue.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Five Years Later-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sapphira!" Called Queen Rini from her balcony. She leaned down and smiled when she saw Sapphira playing with her Pegasus doll by the lake; she was running around in circles making the mythical creature fly. She has grown quite a bit for the past five years, she was taller than her knees! Her hair has grown as well, the color of her hair was beautful, brown and it sparkled gold when the sun hits it and it will sparkle silver when the moon hits it. However, her hair design was different her and her grandmothers hair, it long and naturally wavy on the back and her bangs were long as well, but parted on the middle. If she went out of the castle, no one will know she was the princess.

"Sapphira!" She called again, this time louder for her daughter to hear. Sapphira heard her mother and turned to her with a smile on her cute face.

"Come on birthday girl, it's time for you to get ready for the party!"

"Ok momma!" She replied

She ran to the castle as fast as her little legs could with her long hair blowing behind her. Rini chuckled softly as she watched her run inside the castle and turned around to follow her.


The party was perfect! Decorations were everywhere; on the floor, on the chairs and tables, even on the ceiling. The colors of blue and white filled the ball room, Rini walked inside the room drinking everything that she could see. It was a beautiful sight, she was sure that her daughter would love it. She was so engrossed at the decorations that she did not hear the doors open or even heard the person walking toward her.

"Rini" He whispered in her ear

She jumped and squeaked quietly as turned to the person.

"Oh Darius," she breathed, holding her heart in her chest "you starlted me."

Her husband chuckled and pulled her to him.

"I'm sorry love," he said in a whisper and chuckled softly "i couldn't help it"

She looked up at him and elbowed him in the stomache. Of course it didn't phase him, he laughed and pulled her chin up gently to look into her ruby eyes.

"I'm really sorry darling" he said in his most sincere face. She looked deep into his ice blue eyes and smiled, forgiving him. He leaned down to her and placed his lips on hers, they kissed gently at first, but as time passed on it got more heated. She moaned softly as he slipped his tongue inside her mouth, exploring and teasing. She shivered as she felt his hands slide down...

"Ahem"

The King and Queen both turned to where the voice came from, still holding each other. There was two people standing in the door, it was the retired King Darien and Queen Serena, smiling at them.

"Sorry to interupt," Darien said as they walked toward them, "but we didn't want our granddaughter's party end up a mess" he chuckled quietly as her saw his daughter blush. When they reached them, Serena gave her daughter a loving hug and kisses on her cheeks as the Kings shook hands as they greeted each other.

"Five years old," Serena said in amazment, "it seems like she was born yesterday." All of them agreed quietly as they thought deeply.

"So," Darien said to break the silence, "what are you going to give her?" he asked as he looked at his daughter.

She looked up and smiled at her husband, silently asking permission, and he nodded , then she smiled at her parents.

"Well," she started, her smile growing, "I was thinking of giving her my globe." Both of them stared at her in confusion. She looked at her mother "You know, the one that he gave me." Thats when Serena got what she was saying.

"Does it still work?" she asked in wonder, "I thought that after he left..."

"I think it might" Rini said in thought

"How do you know it will?" her mother asked her in wonder

Rini hesitated at first, not knowing Where to begin. "He came into my dreams" she said in a whisper, but loud enough for all to hear. Her parents gasped when they heard her.

"Are you sure?" her father asked

She nodded to reply "he said that he was coming back, but not for me." she said

"Then why is he coming if it is not for you?" her mother asked

Rini shrugged in response. "I don't know, I woke up before he told me why." She said with a sigh. Her husband wrapped his arms around her and she smiled at him reassuring she was ok.

"But he did tell me that the globe should be long to her," she said with a smile, "I think it was meant for her in the very beggining."

"I thought he loved you" her father said wit a slight edge in his voice

"Oh he does that I'm sure of, but not in the same way I loved him." She smiled at him "Besides, I was a little girl and he was so many years older that I was father."

All three of them nodded in agreement. Then they hears music softly playing.

"Now come on," Rini said, "lets welcome our guests." She pulled her husband with her and her parents followed her silently.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------At the Party------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The party was a success. Friends and family talked, and danced through the night. The presents for the birthday girl stacked high into the ceiling, but there was no children to play with. Sapphira didn't complain though, she stayed by her mothers and fathers side being quiet and spoke when she was spoken to. Even with the beautiful presents waiting to be opened, she did not want to be there, she wanted to go to her room and play with her dolls. But she didn't say a word or complain to her parents or grandparents. All of the sudden the lights grew dim and people all around her started to sing "happy birthday" quietly at first, but it grew louder when a huge birthday cake came into the room. She looked up at her parents with a huge smile on her face, they too were singing to her. The cake stopped in front of her and she looked all around it. It was light blue crescent moons with white roses and it was taller than anyone in the room. When the song ended, she took as much air as she could and blew all five candles out, and everyone clapped and cheeres around her. When the party came close to the end, Sapphira was falling asleep, or so it seemed. Her mother saw and took her hand and led her out of the ball room, leading her to her room.

"I have a gift for you Sapphira" She said gently to her

Sapphira looked up at her mother in suprise. "Really?" she asked excidedly

Her mother nodded in response with a smile on her face.

"A very special friend gave it to me a long time ago, when I was about your age" she added

"Who?" her daughter asked

Rini chuckled "You might meet him one day little one"

They reached for her bedroom and her mother opened it swiftly leading her to her bed, which had a globe sitting in the middle of it.

Sapphira let go of her mothers hand and crawled on the bed. She looked at it in wonder.

"Do you like it?" Her mother asked

"I love it!" she replied still looking at it. Her mother chuckled "I'm glad" she said quietly

"What is it?" Sapphira asked her

"It said that a Pegasus lived in here" she replied

She looked up at her mother in amazment. "Really?!" she asked her eyes wide

Her mother nodded and kissed her daughter on top of her head. "Yes little one, know get some sleep, you had a busy day. Good night my little one."

"Good night momma" she respondedas her mother closed the door quietly. Sapphira looked around the large and empty room and sighed.

"I wish I had friends that could spend the night tonight" she said to herself, "oh Pegasus, i wish you were real so we could be friends." She sighed again and placed the globe beside her bed.

"But we could be friends Sapphira" a handsom voice came from behind her
