The Perfect Match
Part One
A young woman stood behind a tall white pillar with green vines spiraling up and around it watching a young man. Her eyes were a pale blue and she had moonlight colored hair styled up in twin buns with a stream flowing down nearly to the ground from each. Bangs covered her forehead framing a golden crescent moon perfectly.
She wore a beautiful white silk gown with an intricately decorated fitted bust with a large sheer bow at her back with ribbons trailing down her gown. Decorative puffs sat off her shoulders matching and lining up perfectly with the bust of her gown. Gold earrings dangled from her ears, a string of pearls wrapped around her wrist, and white high heel shoes graced her feet.
The young man was Prince Endymion, heir to the throne of the Earth. He looked majestic and commanding in his dark blue nearly black uniform. Tall black boots covered his feet and lower legs, and silver armor protected his waist and shoulders. A sword sat on his hip and a black cape with a red inner lining hung from his shoulders.
She had seen him at various functions on numerous planets, including her own, but always from a distance. He was so handsome with his dark blue eyes, and short deep black hair that nearly fell into his eyes. She knew from seeing him stand next to other people that he was a tall man.
He was fascinating and mysterious to her. Always seeing him but never speaking to him. His coloring matching that of his planet; dark yet vibrant. His movements were always poised and exact. All reasons why she found herself liking him so much, and why they were perfect for each other in her opinion.
She was a princess; he was a prince. She had four guardians; he had four guardians. She was heir to the throne of her planet; he was heir to the throne of his planet.
And we are both sought after. We are the perfect match for each other. She thought with a sigh as she watched him pause and smell a rose.
She wished to speak with him so very much. She wanted to finally hear his voice, and see just how tall he was in relation to her.
I can just imagine our meeting. She thought softly as she watched him.
He would pause in his walk and turn around and notice her standing there. He would call out and approach her curiously. He would introduce himself and she would introduce herself. Then he would comment on her beauty, that having been what he noticed in the first place, and ask her to walk with him.
Of course I would say yes, and take his offered hand. We would stroll around this beautiful garden, and talk and get to know each other. She thought as she imagined it.
Endymion paused in his stroll and looked around his garden. As he took in the view behind him he noticed someone that appeared to be hiding behind one of the pillars. He frowned slightly and brushed his hand against the hilt of his sword as he turned and began to cautiously move toward them.
"Hello?" He called out, wanting them to reveal themselves.
The young woman gasped at the sound of his deep voice, blinking as she was pulled out of her fantasy of their meeting. She briefly moved further behind the pillar but realized this was her chance to finally meet the man of her dreams.
She stepped out and revealed herself as he reached her position. Her eyes were wide as she finally got to see his height for herself. She barely came up to his breastbone.
Get a hold of yourself and speak to him! She told herself before she internally composed herself.
"I am Princess Selene of the Moon." She introduced herself softly, blushing as he stood poised and calm in front of her.
"I am aware of who you are." Endymion stated clearly. "Why are you here?"
Selene blushed in shy embarrassment but before could say anything a female spoke from behind her.
"Yes. Why are you here?" The voice asked and she turned around to see a young woman dressed as a sailor scout walking toward them.
The woman had blue eyes the color of a clear earth sky, and beautiful hair the color of gold. Not blonde, or yellow, nor a mixture of the two, but shiny gold. Her hair was loose, flowing down pass her knees in gentle waves, with bangs covering her forehead.
Her bodysuit was white leaving her shoulders bare, with a white skirt that transitioned from a dark grass green to a deep blue at the end, and her sailor collar was white with a single dark green stripe around the border.
On her chest sat a deep green bow with a gold circle at its center. A deep blue medium sized ribbon belt wrapped around her waist just above her skirt, and connected to a deep blue bow at her back with thick ribbons trailing just pass her knees.
She wore dark green high heel knee-length boots on her feet, white gloves on her hands with gold bands around her wrists, a dark green choker around her neck, a flesh colored tiara with a golden gem, and triple stud flesh colored earrings.
Completing the look was a solid white cape trailing from her shoulders to the ground. She stood more poised and elegant than the Moon Princess and Selene was instantly jealous.
"Who are you?" Selene asked, a hint of rudeness in her tone.
"I am Sailor Earth." She answered calmly as she came and stood near Prince Endymion.
"There is no Sailor Earth." Selene said with a delicate frown. "The only sailor scouts are my guardians."
"That is nonsense." Sailor Earth said smartly. "You should return to your planet and ask your mother, and perhaps return to your studies as well since you are ignorant on such an important fact." She added and the princess frowned, her face red in embarrassment and anger.
"My education is not lacking," Selene said. "and you cannot ask me to go anywhere."
"That was not a request princess." Sailor Earth said forcefully. "Leave! You have no business here and should not be on this planet let alone lurking on private royal grounds."
"You cannot tell me what to do." Selene said with a frown before she smoothed her face. "If you wish to persist in your claim of being a sailor scout then you should act like one and do as I say. Leave so we royals may continue our conversation." She added in a clear dismissal.
"Enough!" Endymion said, his voice rumbling through the air, upset and unwilling to stand by and let this conceited princess treat his sailor scout that way.
"Sailor Earth is not one of your guardian scouts to command and address however you please. She is the protector of this planet and deserves to be spoken to respectfully. You are obviously unable and unwilling to do so." He said firmly.
"Leave!" He demanded. "Sailor Earth is right. You have no business or right to be here. Especially if you cannot respect such an important citizen of the Earth; one who is her chosen protector."
Princess Selene's face scrunched up into a frown, her face red, and her eyes teary at being spoken to in such a fashion, and especially by the man who held her affections.
She took a breath, trying keep her composure, and disappeared back home in a flash of white light.
