Serena groaned as she opened her eyes to unfamiliar surroundings.
"Where am I?" she asked, groggily.
"In your room, in my palace. This is going to be our palace, all ours," said Prince Diamond, trying to kiss her. Serena franticly squirmed away.
"Okay then," thought Diamond. "She won't let me kiss her, how about a hug then?"
As he tried to hug her, Serena jumped out of the way and ran to the far corner of the room.
"What are you doing, and what do you mean by "our" palace?"
"You will be my bride soon, my flower," he said, looking into her blue eyes.
"I'll never marry you," she screeched.
"I have my convincing ways," murmured Diamond, trying to stroke her long, blonde hair.
"And that would be?" she asked defiantly, placing her hands on her hips.
"You'll find out," he said, leaving the room.
"What doing he mean by 'You'll find out'?" she pondered as she flopped down on the bed. "I've got a bad feeling about this." She reached for her brooch to transform, but found that it was gone. "That two-timing Negamoon twit! He stole my brooch!" She found a note on her nightstand that read:
Dearest Serenity,
If you need anything, anything at all, ring this little black bell, and I shall bring it to you.
Your love,
Prince Diamond
"Aack! Who is he calling me Serenity, and saying "Your Love?" she thought, putting the letter down. "Might as well see if he's as good as his word." She picked up the bell and rang it.
"Yes? My dear?" asked Diamond, appearing in the doorway.
"Three things: One: don't call me "dear", Two: How did you get here so fast? And Three: where is my brooch and I want it back, now!"
"Teleportation, and no, you can't have your brooch back," Diamond said, infuriated.
"But, your letter said that if I ever need anything, you'll give it to me," she protested.
"You don't need it," he said simply.
"Yes I do!"
"No, you don't."
"I do, please?" she protested, giving him her famous puppy dog smile and eyes.
"Oh all right, but only if you marry me."
"Umm…how about a hug instead?"
"Fine by me," he said, with an evil grin plastered on his face.
"I can't believe that I have to actually touch him!" thought Serena, grimacing at the thought. "At least I get my brooch back," she thought, desperately trying to look on the bright side. "Please come save me, guys! Please!"
She looked down at her outfit for the first time. It was a white ankle length, sleeveless dress with black crescent moons along the edges.
"What do you think of the dress? I made it myself," said a voice from the shadows.
"Who's there?" asked a worried Serena.
"Just me," said Emerald, sounding as if Serena shouldn't be worried, as she walked out of the shadows.
Sapphire then walked into the room. "You know that you didn't make the dress, Emerald," he said.
"Can't a girl have any fun around here?"
"You know that fun isn't allowed on Nemesis," Sapphire said sternly.
"Eek! No fun? I'm totally not marrying him!" said Serena.
"Shh!" hissed Emerald as Diamond entered.
"Hello, my dearest," a cheery Diamond said. "You won't get this, without greeting me properly," he said, waving the brooch in her face.
"Hello," Serena muttered as she reluctantly gave Diamond a hug. During the hug, she made a disgusted face. Emerald and Sapphire tried hard not to laugh.
"Where am I?" she asked, groggily.
"In your room, in my palace. This is going to be our palace, all ours," said Prince Diamond, trying to kiss her. Serena franticly squirmed away.
"Okay then," thought Diamond. "She won't let me kiss her, how about a hug then?"
