Chapter 2

When Serenity got home, after talking to Andy, she went directly to her room and began her homework. I feel so much better now that I've got Andy's help. After a few hours, Serenity had finished her homework and decided to have some dinner. After a nice dinner, she went upstairs to talk to her constant companion, the moon. Yes, the moon was the only thing that she could speak her mind to besides Andrew. She had been doing this ever since she was little because it somehow made her feel better since she didn't have any siblings to talk to. She knew that he wouldn't laugh at her or make fun of her; only listen. She told him secrets that she wouldn't even tell Andy. She told him her dreams that she had the night before. The dreams she had were actually successive dreams and had been plaguing her ever since she moved here. They all continued night after night as if they hadn't finished telling her something that she needed to know. That night she told the moon of all the dreams she had had last night.

"I dreamed there was a grand kingdom full of peace and prosperity. There was a magnificent queen named Serenity, just like me, who was kind and considerate to all who knew her. I was her beautiful daughter who was graceful, full of questions, and I was just like her." Serenity smiled at that. "I had wonderful friends, each from eight of the nine planets; Hydra from Mercury, Ophillia from Venus, Ariesa from Mars, Terra from Jupiter, Estrella from Saturn, Urania from Uranus, Aqua from Neptune, and Chronia from Pluto. They each had a job to do in the kingdom. Hydra, Ophillia, Ariesa, and Terra protected me from enemies that got to the inside of the galaxy while Estrella, Urania, Aqua, and Chronia protected me from enemies trying to enter the solar system. Chronia had another job, which was to watch over time and protect it from evil that may traverse it.

"In my dream, it was a time of peace and prosperity. We had grand parties every night just because it made the people happy; all except for me. Instead, I wanted to go to Earth and meet the young prince I had seen there. The planet had emerald green mountains, oceans that looked like blue crystal, and fields filled with flowers the colors of the rainbow. I wanted to go there, meet him, his people, and see his beautiful planet, 

yet mother said that I could not go to Earth because it is dangerous and that since they have not yet gained entrance into the Solaris Millennium. Nevertheless, this did not stop me from thinking about it and trying to find a way there. It was so close and yet so far." Serenity sighed. "It was our job to protect Earth and lead it on the right path so it would always have peace. Day after day, I sat there and watched the screen of the inhabitants of Earth, especially the crown prince, Endymion Darien Phillips. He looked just like the Darien that I know in school." Serenity paused, contemplating this fact, then continued.

"Anyway, he was the most handsome person in the universe and also the most unobtainable by me but I was determined to go. One day, I got my chance. I was sitting on a bench in our rose garden, when a strange white light appeared right in front of me. Well, like the curious princess I was, I got up and started towards it. When I was about two feet in front it, a great force pulled me in. I felt myself floating in mid-air for what seemed like only a few seconds before I found myself in a beautiful meadow, surrounded by millions of flowers of every kind. I had to blink a few times to make sure that I hadn't fallen asleep. After a few minutes past, I realized that I wasn't asleep and that I had been transported to the forbidden planet. I was so happy, surprised and shocked that I had made it, that I was startled by the sound of hoof beats approaching. I quickly hid myself behind a rose bush and waited until I was sure the horseback riders were gone, but that did not happen. Much to my dismay, they stopped not too far away from the bush I was hiding. I made my breathing scarce, knowing that if they heard me, I would be in trouble because we Lunarians were not allowed on Earth until they became part of the alliance. Then they began to speak.

'I know I saw something appear over here,' assumed one man.

'Well, maybe we were just hallucinating, Darien.'
'No,' Darien said. 'I know what I saw Andrew and I'm going to find it, whatever it is.'
'Well,' said Andrew, 'I'm going to head on back. Catch up when you're done looking for what you are looking for.'
'I will,' Darien reply. 'I'll see you later then.' And with that Darien's friend left.


"I sat there, mesmerized by his eyes, eyes that force you to look at them and marvel at the keeper of them. I immediately recognized him as the prince that I had been watching. I decided to take a closer look but as I moved a bit of the rose bush away to look at him as he was searching, my hand caught on something sharp and I gave a little yelp that caught the man's attention.
"'Who's there,' Darien demanded. 'Come out now, or I will be forced to catch you and bring you in.' I was so startled by his remark that I started to run and, as I predicted, he ran right after me.
"'Stop!' he called. 'I won't hurt you,' but I didn't stop when I heard him for feared for my life. He gained on me quickly and, within minutes, grabbed me around my waist from behind. I kicked, screamed, and demanded he let me go. 'Calm down, calm down,' He demanded but I kept on screaming and thrashing about until my sigil appeared on my forehead. It began to shine brighter and brighter until it became a beam of power, almost knocking the prince on his royal bottom. Thankfully, he let go of me but when he did, I went sprawling forward and landed ungracefully on my face. I got up as quickly as I could manage but in my haste, found that I had sprained my ankle. It hurt so badly that I couldn't stand up on it but before I could check on it, the prince had already begun to look at it. I pulled my foot away embarrassed that I had done it but he gently pulled it back.

'Stay still and let me see it,' he said looking straight up at me.

'Sir,' I began, 'you really don't have to do that.'

'It's no problem," said the prince as he examined my foot. After a few moments, he gave his assessment. 'Looks like you did not break any bones, just a really bad sprain. The bandage should help stabilize it but you should not walk on it for a few days.' He looked up and smiled at me. I blushed and looked away from his gaze. As he stood up, I felt his arm behind my legs and before I could protest, I was up in his arms. I wrapped my arms around him to keep from falling. He walked a short while before setting me down under the shade of a tree and by that time, I was beet red from all the blushing I had done. He sat down beside me and immediately began the interrogation.



'Now who are you,' began the prince, 'and where you from, unless angels from heaven don't have names?' I blushed at the compliment and stared at him, contemplating whether I would oblige him with my name. After, a short time of thinking about it, I decided that there could be no harm in it.
'My name is Serenity,' I stated. 'However, I cannot tell you where I am from.'

'Why not, fair one?'
'Because I would end up in trouble and place me in serious danger.'
'Okay. My name is Darien, Prince Darien.'
'I know,' I said, giggling softly.
'What did you say?'
'Oh, uh, nothing. I was just thinking that while Darien sounds like a wonderful name, does not have the regal ring to it. It sounds more like a nickname or a middle name.'
'You would be right. Darien is my middle name. My 'regal' name is Endymion.'
'Hmmm,' I said.
'What?' Darien asked puzzled.
'Nothing, nothing. Well anyway, I would rather call you Darien, than by your given name. I would like to be informal; I get enough of that back home.'

'Really? Then does that mean you are of noble birth?'
'Yes, I am. By the way, you can call me Reni.'
'Well, alright then. Come let me show you the royal castle.'
'Okay! That sounds like a lot of fun!' and with that he carried me over to his horse, placed me on it and then jumped on behind me. We then rode off on his magnificent horse to the palace. I was absolutely fascinated with the castle. It was as big as mine except that his was made out of white brick while ours was made out of diamond stone, but it was still breath-taking.
'Your palace is beautiful,' I said.
'Thanks,' he answered. When we arrived at the castle, we received many quizzical stares from the people of his kingdom. No doubt they wondered who I was and where I'd come from. He gave his horse to a stableman and escorted me to the gardens.


'Wow! It is so beautiful here. I wish I could stay here forever.'
'I wish you could too, Reni.' I quickly turned to look at him. For long moments, we just stared at each other. Finally, I looked away to look at the beautiful red roses.
'Your world is so beautiful. My world is nothing like this. I envy you.'
'Why should you envy me? I thought you were royalty. Don't you have flowers where you come from?' I bowed my head and closed my eyes.

'Yes, except, where I come from, they don't have colors like this; nothing as vibrant and alive as this. I'll admit though I like it here, I'm still a little homesick for my familiar surroundings.' I moved from the bench I was on and sat down on the grass with my dress spread out. 'She looks like a goddess,' thought Darien. 'I wish I could marry her instead of the moon princess.'
'Would you like to sit down with me?' I asked him.
'I would love to fair angel.' I began to blush profusely.
'It's just so peaceful. I could stay like this forever.' I started to lie down and close my eyes.
'So could I now that I'm with you,' he whispered.
'I wish I could-' but before I could finish I was fast asleep.
'Reni? Reni?' he tried to wake me up but I was so deep in sleep, nothing he did worked. He ended up taking me into the palace and into his room, so as not to alert anyone to my presence. That's where my dreams ended."

After her discussion with the moon, she began to think about the events that happened that day and how it seemed so similar to her dreams. As she thought on it she began to think that she had some sort of feelings for Darien; for she could only dream about someone she truly had feelings for. Despite the words he spoke to her, his actions spoke of care and concern towards her, since he had rescued her twice. There was just something about him that stirred her heart and made her emotions whirl. Serenity looked up at the moon and thought, Darien, are you the prince that haunts my dreams and stirs my soul? With those final thoughts she said her prayers, got in bed and closed her eyes hoping that her dreams would provide the answer.
