Maybe if I just went down for a minute just to see it, not talking to anybody… no that wouldn't work, then I would want to stay. What if I took Venus or someone with me? No that would never happen. Stupid rules!! Serenity was quite a sight. Pacing back and forth stomping her little foot in frustration. The desire to go to earth was eating up Serenity. Why did it have to be forbidden? Nothing else was. Just what she actually wanted. Serenity laughed at herself.
"Maybe I am spoiled" she thought to herself. The one thing in the universe that's absolutely forbidden is the one thing she desires most. Would that desire fade if she did go, if she got what she wanted? She didn't think so. Going to earth seemed, right, like it was necessary, like something was calling her, waiting till she came. Oh no Mars is right, I am going crazy! Serenity walked out to her balcony and sat on the cold hard stone. She looked out to the always full vision of earth. The blues she so dreamed of, the greens like nothing she had ever seen. Colors were different on the moon. Everything shone with brilliancy. To an outsider it was the most magnificent beauty in the galaxy. For the god's sake she even shone!! But to her, the simpler, iridescent swirls of color on the earth were far more appealing. If only there was a way for her to be there.
"Serenity?" A small knock came to the door. "May we come in your highness?" Venus's voice was just loud enough to be heard through the thick white doors.
"Of course! Since when haven't you been?" They all came in with a laugh. Serenity hoped of the ledge of the balcony and went to greet her lifelong friends. They were all chosen at the age of five to be her guardians. No one said they had to be friends. But they all instantly fell in love with each other. Though they bickered to no end, it was the bickering of sisterhood.
"How did you like you party?!" Squealed Venus before anyone else could even open their mouths. Serenity laughed and answered in an equally excited voice.
"I absolutely love it!! You guys should through all the parties from now on! I swear I think I ruined the shoes I had on from dancing so much." She laughed, remembering exactly how much she had danced that night, which was a lot!! Those shoes really were ruined. "Everyone we like was there! And I'm so glad it wasn't all the court pomp that was there. It was nice not to have to be so uptight and worried about my reputation. I think I spun around in circles with Luna at one point." Again all the girls laughed with her.
"Meet anybody, interesting?" Asked Jupiter. "I met the most wonderful cook. And even ole Mars here landed a really very gorgeous guy. I think he's from Pluto." She smiled and nudged Mars playfully.
"I'm sorry Pluto couldn't come though. It would have been nice to see her. But all the rest of the outer senshi came, even Saturn." Said Mercury. "It was nice to see the outer senshi; Saturn was so lively and fun when she wasn't worried about her planet or when she didn't have to act like the silent scout of death. Neptune was gorgeous as always and stole half the men of the moons hearts just by walking in. Uranus was hilarious when a martian came up and asked to go for a walk with her. She actually flinched! And I think she thought seriously thought about attacking him." They all laughed at that. Seeing all the senshi together without Pluto was always hard. But she had duties that came before everything else.
"Are they still here?" Mars asked. "Uranus was supposed to show us a couple new techniques when she had time." She looked excited; the girls had been dying for new techniques.
"I think they are actually, Saturn is, and I saw Neptune with Uranus about an hour ago." Serenity looked at her friends all had looks of excitement on their faces. But they all looked slitly apprehensive. Serenity new well what those looks were for.
"Go she sad, I can entertain myself while you all go and dirty yourselves. Maybe I'll even come and watch Uranus take down all of you at once." She giggled and watched as her friends all left with promises to return soon.
Maybe this was her chance, the girls wouldn't be back until night fall and it was only morning. She could take the day and explore, then come back without anyone knowing. It was perfect! She ran put on her shoes checked that her dress, hair, and face weren't dirty then raced out of the palace and into the garden. When she came upon the rose section of the garden she threw herself into the field of multi-colored roses and transported herself to earth.
