A Twisted Fate
Chapter 2-
The night the sisters decided to go to Earth proved to be a bad one, as both regretted not getting any sleep. The twins were able to get around two hours of sleep before the ruckus of the palace woke them from their slumber.
Tranquility is awoken by her chambermaid who is packing the Princess' clothes for the tour.
Serenity is rudely awoken by Venus saying, "Wake your lazy butt up Serenity!" This is followed by a raspberry.
Thus begins the start of the day, which initiates the end of the Silver Millennium.
Serenity slides her feet over her bed, groggily rubbing her eyes, and stretching her arms.
Venus walks over to her, grabs a pillow off of the Princess' bed, and throws it at Serenity.
"Why'd you do that, Venus?" She asks, now fully awake.
"I was trying to help wake you," Venus says innocently, while placing her hands on her hips.
"What time is it?" Serenity asks, rubbing her eyes again.
"It's eight but Tranquility will be leaving soon. I thought you would like to spend time with her before she leaves; instead of sleep all day, and not see her for weeks."
"Arigato Venus-chan. That was very thoughtful of you. Where is she?"
"She's having a quick talk with the Queen, and then everyone is to meet in the dining hall for a farewell breakfast."
"Alright, well, if you will excuse me Venus. I would like to get changed into something more appropriate for breakfast." Serenity gestures towards her nightgown, and then walks towards her closet.
Venus nods and exits the room, closing the door behind her. Serenity quickly dresses, and walks out the same door Venus did only moments before.
Queen Serenity and Tranquility are talking in the Queens study. They began talking only a few minutes after Tranquility had been awoken by her chambermaid. She is still in her nightgown but has a robe over it. Her hair is messy and down since she did not have time to put her hair up. Tranquility is fidgeting with the sleeve of her robe, embarrassed for her mother to see her look so unpresentable when she is about to leave to represent their great kingdom.
The Queen is sitting behind her desk. She has one delicate hand folded over another, looking intently at her daughter.
"You summoned me mother?" Tranquility asks trying to stifle a yawn.
Her mother looks down at her hands for a long moment and then back to her daughter. She stands up and walks around the desk, over to her daughter, and envelops her in a tight hug.
"Oh, Tranquility, I am so proud of you." Her mother pulls away for a moment to look into her daughters eyes. Then she looks to her right hand and gently slides a ring off of her middle finger, and onto Tranquility's finger.
"What is this?" Tranquility asks her mother with a puzzled look.
"This was my great-great grandmothers, the Goddess Selene's. It is a ring of special powers Tranquility. So you know you must be very careful when you use this. This is a ring for protection. If anything is to happen to you, you need only call to the ring. Just say 'Moon Protection Bubble,' and you will be protected from any enemy. You should be careful though, because once you use it, it will absorb energy from you or people around you. But since you are leaving, I would feel better with you having this while you travel to these foreign galaxies." The Queen yet again pulls Tranquility into a tight hug and kisses her on her head.
"I'll be careful. I promise mother," Tranquility responds, returning her mother's embrace.
Queen Serenity releases Tranquility, and gestures towards the door. "The others are waiting in the dining hall for you dear."
With that, Tranquility leaves the Queens study and heads towards her room to change before going to the dining hall.
Serenity walks into the dining hall, not expecting anyone to be there; however, she finds that all of the other Princess' are already there and seated. She had wanted to sneak some food before anyone arrived. Now she has to wait and eat when Tranquility arrives. Serenity lets out a sigh, and takes her seat.
Hurry up Tranquility! I am sooooooooooo hungry!
All of the Princess' are killing time, doing their own things. Mercury is reading a book. Venus is doodling on a napkin. Mars and Jupiter are talking animatedly. Saturn is explaining a game to Pluto. Neptune and Uranus are whispering in each other's ears, and laughing about what the other says.
I wonder what they are saying that could be so funny...
Venus sets her pencil on the table, and turns to Serenity.
"Serenity, why are you so tired today?"
Serenity's eyes go big for a second, and she tries to think of an excuse to tell her closest friend; however she knows she cannot lie to her.
"I didn't get much sleep last night. Tranquility and I spent time with each other for most of the night."
"Oh. It must be hard on you. You two have never been separated like this before."
"I suppose it will be tough these next few weeks," Serenity looks down at her hands.
But then again it might not be so bad... I can always sneak to Earth to see him. Wait! How can I see him again? I don't have an access code. What can I do?
"So what did you guys do last night?" Venus asks, picking her pencil up to draw some more.
"Um..."
Should I tell her what we did? Maybe she can help me see him. I can't lie to her anyway. I should tell her.
"Well, we talked for a little while. Then we... we... went to Earth-" Serenity says but is interrupted by Venus.
"You went WHERE? To Earth?" Venus drops her pencil again, and turns around in her seat to see Serenity better. This outburst catches the attention of the other Princess' who join in on questioning Serenity.
"Um, yea, we went to Earth." Serenity replies meekly.
"Why did you go there?" Mercury asks.
"How did you get there?" Uranus demands.
"I was upset that Tranquility gets to leave, and I haven't had a chance to leave the Moon yet. So she took me to Earth. We went to the teleportation room. She was given the right to use the room so she was kind enough to let me use it with her." Serenity says defiantly.
"Did anyone see you?" Neptune asks.
"Yes."
"Yes? Did they know you were from the Moon?" Mars says incredulously.
"Yes they did. But it's OK. It was only one man and he said he wasn't going to tell, and I believe him. I..." Serenity looks to the ground, hoping to find the right words to say written there.
"How do you know you can trust him Serenity? Your sister could have compromised our peace negotiations with Earth with what she did last night. What was she thinking?" Venus says, looking to Serenity for answers.
"Because I know he wouldn't lie. I trust him. I think I... I think I love him." Serenity says averting the gazes of her companions.
"You love him?" Jupiter asks curiously.
"Yes."
"How can you be in love with him after one meeting? Do you even know his name?" Mars asks.
"I just am. His name is Endymion. He is the Prince of Earth. He is so kind, and caring. If you all would have seen him last night you would understand why I feel the way I do." Serenity says defending herself passionately.
"Are you going to go visit him again?" Saturn finally speaks up. Her dark, violet eyes peering curiously at her.
"I would love to but... I don't have access to the transportation room. I was hoping maybe you guys would help me." Serenity says, looking at all of her friends hopefully.
"Absolutely not," Uranus says, slamming her fist on the table. "We will not support you in this Serenity. You are breaking the rules of the Moon, and are disobeying your mother, the Queen. I should tell her what you have done. You could have ruined any chance of peace with Earth because of last night."
Pluto stands up and gazes at everyone before speaking. "I believe we should help her. If anything, this should boost relations with the Earth. Of course this is wrong. We should inform the Queen of what has happened but we should show our support towards Serenity. If we do so, then the Queen may be willing to let her continue visiting the Earth without anyone getting in trouble."
"Does that sound alright to you Princess?" Saturn asks, smiling at her Princess.
Serenity hesitantly, but happily nods her head in agreement.
"Does everyone else agree?" Pluto asks, looking to her companions to see if they support her idea.
The Princess' nod their heads in agreement. Uranus is being a little resistant at first, until Neptune nudges her in the side.
"Then it's settled. Inner scouts, you will address this issue with the Queen once Princess Tranquility has left for her tour," Pluto says, then takes her seat once more.
Everyone goes back to what they were doing only moments before; except for Uranus and Neptune, who instead of whispering and laughing, are now whispering and looking troubled.
A few moments go by, and the doors to the dining hall open to reveal Queen Serenity and Princess Tranquility. Both greet all of the Princesses and then they take their seats.
Over the next hour, the Queen and Princess' converse and laugh about Princess Tranquility's plans for her tour. She tells them where she's going, and the different proposals she is planning to make to their leaders.
When they finish their meals, and get to the end of Tranquility's itinerary the Outer scouts stand and bid their companions goodbye so they can fetch their bags. The Queen then stands, and the others follow. They exit the dining hall and head towards the teleportation room. The Outers are waiting inside the room for Tranquility to arrive.
Everyone then takes turns in hugging Princess Tranquility and the Outer scouts goodbye, and wishing Tranquility luck.
Tranquility and Serenity hug last, and Tranquility whispers something in her ear that makes Serenity laugh. They release each other from the hug, and Serenity nods. After that, Tranquility then grabs her bag, and steps onto the platform. The Outers follow shortly after. Tranquility waves goodbye, and in a blink of an eye they are gone.
End Chapter 2
Ok, now I know I didn't put everything in here that I put in the next chapter description in the last chapter but I didn't think it would be right putting that stuff in this chapter yet. I don't want to cram everything together and make short chapters that are crammed with crap. LOL. So hopefully you guys understand and I will be putting this stuff ((look below)) in the next chapter for sure, and that should be up soon. :- ) Please Review!
Next Chapter-
