Princess Serenity was getting ready for the day when there was a knock on her door.
"Enter!" She called. The door opened and Princess Serenity's best friend Rei entered the room. Rei was still dressed in her work clothes, She was the high priestess of the Moon Kingdom, and heir to the throne of Mars. Her long black hair was tied back with a ribbon and Serenity could tell that she had been reading the fire again.
"Is something wrong Rei-chan?" She asked her dearest friend. Rei looked frazzled and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Danger is coming" She said. Serenity froze. Whenever Rei saw danger, it was never good for the moon kingdom.
"What kind of danger?" She asked.
"I don't know" Rei said distressed. "I tried to read, but there are omnious shadows lurking, ready to pounce. I don't know what they are" Serenity sighed.
"Have you told Mother?" She asked. Rei shook her head.
"Not yet" She said. "I thought I'd tell you first" Serenity nodded and stood up.
"Thank you Rei, but you really should tell mother. Also, make sure the others are aware of this information" Rei nodded and left the room. Serenity finished getting ready and then hurried to the throne room, where her mother was waiting. It appeared that Rei had already told the Queen the news, by the time that she got there. Queen Serenity was a lovely woman with silver hair and a wonderous smile, but today she looked worried. Princess Serenity noticed a young man standing near the throne. He had silver eyes and smiled at her. Princess Serenity smiled back at him.
"Mother, I am here" She said, to get her mother's attention.
"Ah, good. Serenity, this is Dimande. He has come to offer courtship to you" Queen Serenity said. The blonde haired princess stared at her mother for a moment, before finding her voice.
"I...ah...I accept your courtship, Dimande" She said curtseying. Dimande smiled and offered his arm to her. Serenity took it, stiffling back a sigh. She would do this for her mother, and maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Later that day, Serenity stood looking out over the water.
"Serenity, are you okay?" Ami, another of her friends asked her. She turned to face the blue haired genius, but before she could answer, the two of them were attacked by men wearing black.
"Mercury Power, Make-up" Ami shouted, transforming into Sailor Mercury. Two of the guys fought her while the third cornered Serenity.
"Give me the silver crystal" Serenity rolled her eyes. "Don't you guys ever give up?" She asked. The man reached for her throat, but a blast knocked him off his feet. He turned and glared at the new comers.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"The scent of the sky, when it changes to gold
The sword of wind, raise it
and I will run forth.
Uranus, that is who I am" Uranus said, swinging her sword around.
"The secret of the sea, when it sways with green
The mirror of water, gaze at it
and I will command.
Neptune, that is who I am" Neptune said, swinging her mirror.
"Sailor Soldier of Flight, Sailor Uranus" Uranus shouted. "World Shaking"
"Sailor Soldier of Comprehension, Sailor Neptune" Neptune said. "Deep Submerge" The men took off, scared for thier life.
"Are you alright Princess?" Uranus asked.
"Hai." Serenity said softly. "Arigato" She sighed. "I don't understand why everyone wants the silver crystal. Mother told me it brings peace, but people only want it for its power"
"Don't worry Your highness" Neptune said. "As your soldiers, we will give up our very lives to keep you safe" Serenity turned to face them.
"I honestly hope you won't have to go that far" She said solemnly. "I am very grateful for the protection you provide me" Suddenly Dimande appeared.
"Princess, would you be so kind as to dine with me this evening?" He asked. Serena smiled.
"I'd be honored" She said. He took her hand and led her away.
"They make a cute couple" Michiru observed, transforming back into civillian form.
"I don't know" Ami said softly. "I guess we'll have to see about this"
