~Here goes!~
~One year later~
I was running around the castle trying to find my favorite high heeled shoes. They were silver and had beeds on the front that were black. I couldn't find them anywhere. We were leaving for Earth in ten minutes. I was wearing a black dress that had silver flowers outlined all over it. It went all the way down to my ankles, and it didn't have any sleaves. The neck of the dress stopped right above my breasts to show some cleavage.
I ran back into my room and went straight to my drawers. I opened up the first drawer. Nothing. I went to the second one. Nothing. By this time I had five minutes left before the transporter left and there were clothes everywhere. Then someone burst in the door yelling,
"Serena, Serena! I found them!" I turned around to see my personal maid and friend at the door holding up a pair of silver shoes with black beeds on the front.
I ran up to her and hugged her and grabbed the shoes. I ran out the door yelling a thank you over my sholder and running with my shoes in my hands. I couldn't very well run with high heeled shoes on, now can I?
I ran into the War Hall, relieved to see my mother still there waiting. I ran over to the transporter and sat down on the red velvet seat and put my shoes on. My mother just looked at me and giggled at my sharp intakes of breath. Then she said to the transporter,
"I am Queen Serenity of the Moon Kingdom."
The machine answered, "Thank you."
Then she motion for me to identify my voice aswell. I groaned.
'I don't understand why I have to do it if Mom already did.'
Then I said in a sarcastic tone,
"Alright alright, and I'm Princess Serenity of the Moon."
The machine then replied, "Thank you for voice identification, you will be ariving on Earth in a few moments."
I looked to my side to see Raye, Mina, Amy, and Lita. They weren't in their sailor scout uniforms. They were in regal princess attire, all according to their planetary colors and were all standing at attention. It is expected of them when they are going to be with royalty other than me and Mother. Something in protocal requires it.
I stood up to be right next to my mother and infront of the scouts. I held my head high and clutched my hands right infront of me.
'Oh god. This is so exciting. I get to see Darien again. A whole year after that little insident. I'm 18 now and I think hes 22. Thank god I finally grew into this body of mine. My face became a bit softer, my lips fuller, my legs longer and my breasts fuller. Hehe. Like he would care, he is not even interested in me.' I thought as I stood silently with my mother.
I noticed my mother, she was standing tall, the picture of elegance with her staff in her right hand. That staff would someday be mine and it would signify me as the queen of the Moon. But that would mean that mother would be gone and I hope that never happens even if I don't become queen. I stood as I was before: trying to imitate mother.
The door opened and I saw the rose gardens of Earth again, and right infront of us all was the royal family and guards. I saw Darien next to his mother and father and then Malachite, Zoisite, Jedeite, and Nephlite right behind the three. Darien smiled friendly at me. I could barely keep my knees from buckeling.
The eight of them walked up to us and we all curtsied and bowed to each other in greeting.
Queen Celest then spoke, "It is good to have you here. Was your trip comfortable?"
"Yes. Quite." Mother answered happily, smiling with content.
"This is my son, Endymion." Darien bowed to us.
Mother looked at Darien and seemed to remember something.
"I'm terribly sorry for what happened last time you and my daughter met. She can be quite a trouble maker." I looked over to Mom and gave her a little glare.
I then turned back to Darien and said, "Yes I am very sorry your highness." I then curtsied to him.
I looked back up to see him smiling that same smile the last time we met.
"It is quite alright. You did save my life." He explained, still smiling.
Queen Celest smiled and then spoke,
"Yes, Endymion told us about that little misshap, but we are very gratefull for what you did."
"Thank you" was all I managed to say.
"Let me introduce my daughter's royal court. May I present to you Princess Mina of the planet Venus, Princess Lita of the planet Jupiter, Princess Raye of the planet Mars and Princess Amy of the planet Mercury. And ofcourse you know my daughter, Princess Serenity." All five of us girls curtsied gracefully and muttered a,
"Pleasure to make your aquaintance your Highness."
Queen Celest spoke again, "It is an honor to meet the legendary Sailor Senshi of the Silver Millennium. Now let me introduce the royal guards and personal guards to Prince Endymion. There is Malachite, first in command, Nephlite, second in command, Jedeite, who is in third command, Zoisite, fourth in command, and ofcourse you already know my son, Prince Endymion." All five of the men bowed respectfully.
Mother smiled graceously and said, "It is an honor to meet you all."
Then I heard a man's deep voice. "Come. We should go into the palace and show you where you will be staying." It was King Jason.
The scouts were still standing at attention behind me. Mother stepped ahead of me and stood beside the queen and king. I stayed with my friends. Mina was the first to speak after my mother and the king and queen of Earth left.
"Did you see Malachite? He is so cute." She said with a dreamy sigh.
"Oh, did you see Jedeite? What a hottie!" Raye nearly yelled with stars in her eyes.
"Nephlite is so dreamy, he looks exactly like my-"
"OLD BOYFRIEND!" Everyone yelled in unison except for Lita who had just spoken.
Everyone laughed. "Zoisite is cute though." Everyone sighed at Amy's calmness.
"Oh come on Ames!" I yelled.
"We all saw the way you were looking at him!" Amy blushed.
"Wwell I guess he is a 'hottie'" We all giggled until Raye asked suddenly,
"And what about you Serena? What did you think about Prince Endymion, or 'Darien' as you call him?" I sighed dreamily.
"Perfect. Absolutly perfect." All the girls giggled at my glazed eyes. I was still in my little dream world when I heard a familiar masculain voice ask,
"Whats so funny?"
I snapped out of my daze and looked up to be meet with the most gorgous blue eyes. It was Darien. All the girls had stopped giggling. Then I heard Raye start to say,
"Oh we were just talking about how Serena likes 'Da-" Was all Raye got to say before a hand covered her mouth.
I leaned over near her ear and whispered deadly, "Shut up or I'll spill your secret about a certain someone." I motioned with my eyes towards Jedeite.
Her eyes widened in fear and she nodded her head in understandng. I took my hand off her mouth and turned around to see the guys trying to hold in their laughter. I giggled nervously not knowing what to say.
"Will you let us escort you to your rooms?" Darien asked.
"Yes, we would be honored." I replied nearly drooling all over him.
Darien walked up to me and offered me his arm. I took it graciously. Then Malachite went up to Mina and offered her his arm, as well as Nephlite to Lita, Jediete to Ray, and Zoisite to Amy. They all accepted graciously just as I did.
"Maybe I can take you to the rose gardens later on, since you didn't get to finish your tour the last time you were here." Darien said as he chuckled in remembrance.
I blushed and said, "I would love to, they looked beautiful from a glance since that was all I got the last time I was here." He chuckled again, and led me to my room.
My room was beautiful. They defiantly found out that my favorite colors were black and silver.
(Those are actually my favorite colors, but I hate pink so I changed her favorite colors. Sorry Hehe.)
There was a four poster bed against the back wall, the metal bars, head board, matress cover and fitted bottom sheet were black. The sheets, comforter and pillows were silver. My walls were of a midnight blue and there was a dresser and bureau that was stained mohogany and very shiny. The bureau was accompanied by a black cushioned chair, with silver metal bars for the legs and back. Everything was so beautiful. I'm guessing that the girls' room all go along with their favorite colors aswell.
I hear a knock at my door while I was still checking out my room.
"Come in." I say.
The door slowly opens and then I hear a sweet voice say,
"Miss, is everything as you like?"
I turn around to look at a girl that looked about my age. I smile at her, and she gives me a weak smile back.
"Yes, everything is perfect, thank you."
"That's good. I would have thought your favorite colors were pink or something like that, atleast those are some of the other princesses favorite colors that have been here before. OH! I'm terribly sorry I didn't mean to say that, it's just that things come out of my mouth and I can't help it." The girl said appologetically.
I smiled and giggled a bit at her nervouseness.
"Oh do not worry about it. I am not offended at all. As a matter of fact, whenever you are around me I want you to speak your mind, but I do suggest you be polite still. Whats your name?" She smiled and her green eyes twinkled with happiness.
"Thank you very much. My name is Molly! I like you, you're a lot nicer than all those other princesses that have been here. They all act so snobby!" I giggled.
"Well my name is Serenity, but you may call me Serena if you like. It is very nice to meet you, but you know what? Most princesses are snobby because they have been spoiled and do not know better."
Molly looked at me and tipped her head to the side a bit.
"And you aren't?" She asked curiously.
'She is very smart. I really like this girl, Molly.' Serenity thought.
"No I am not. Sometimes it does not matter to me if I become queen someday and posses all the riches my mother does." Molly's eyes opened wide.
She then shook her head to wake her self out of her trance.
"Well I was sent up here to tell you that dinner will be served in 30 minutes. The queen and king don't reqire formal wear tonight." Molly explained.
"I like your queen and king, they are very different from others." I said with a smile on my face.
Molly nodded and then said, "That's why we like them so much. They are very different." We both giggled at her last statement.
"Molly?" I asked.
"Hmm?" she replied, her eyes opening a little wider.
"Do you have to be anywhere at this particular moment?" I asked.
"Nope, the queen and king didn't say I needed to do anything else. Why?" Molly replied, still smiling.
"Do you think you can stay and help me pick out a dress?"
Her smile got even wider. She gasped and then squealed,
"Ofcourse, I would love to!" She hopped over to me, and we both walked over to my closet to find all of my clothes nicely hanging inside. Molly gasped and then pulled out a dress.
"This is beautiful Serena, I think you should wear this one!" I looked over to Molly and saw the dress that she was holding up.
I could tell it was made out of silk from the way it shined. First there was a pale yellow slip that had light pink flowers imprinted on it. It was made to cling to my upper body then fan out at the waist where a yellow ribbon was tied. It had one-inch wide spaggetti straps and a see-through material went over the lower section of the dress, that too was also a pale yellow. It was a very pretty dress that reached to my knees. Molly also suggested that I wear a pair of white "Keds" without any socks.
(I know I said I don't like pink but it just seemed to go with the outfit. And I like Keds, their cool even though they're like 30 years old or somethin like that.)
'I really do like this dress but I wish it was in black and silver.' (hehe)Serena thought dejectidly as she picked at the dress.
"That is a good idea, Mol! I think I will wear it. And look at the time. I have just enough time to get dressed." She smiled proudly and then said,
"Ok then I'll see you again later, Ok?" Molly said and I nodded. Then she walked out the door.
I walked down the stairs to the dining room. I think I looked pretty good in the dress that Molly picked out for me. My figure was nicely defined, it didn't look too skimpy and it didn't look too boring. It was perfect. I had completely forgotten about the time. I finally realized that I was late. Five minutes late. I took off at high speed as I raced to the dining room. I sped past atleast 20 servant in about 20 seconds. I was nearing the dining room, when I finally slowed my pace to a brisk walk and smoothed out my dress. I took a deep breath then walked into the dining room.
I walked over to my seat next to my mother. As soon as I sat down I said,
"I am terribly sorry that I am late. I made a friend and we lost track of the time as we talked." I looked to my right to see that Mother was a little upset.
"That is quite alright dear. Who is your new friend?" Queen Celest asked nicely. I smiled at her and answered,
"Her name is Molly. I am pretty sure that she works for you." Her eyes lit up and she smiled once again.
"Oh yes! She is a lovely girl. Speaks her mind a lot." We both giggled at that.
She looked to her sides and saw all of the kids looked like they were about to starve to death. She giggled and announced,
"Well I guess we better feed these kids Jason, before they starve." King Jason nodded his agreement, and as if on que a line of servants walked out each carring a tray of food.
After we ate I walked back up to my room when I suddenly felt someone grab my wrist. On instincts, I grabbed the person's hand that held my wrist with my free hand and flipped him over my head, so he landed infront of me on his back. My eyes widened when I saw who it was.
"DARIEN!! Oh my god!! I am so sorry!!" I screamed as I helped Darien up.
He laughed as he brushed his clothes off. My eyes were still wide with shock and surprise.
"I am so sorry I did not know it was you!! Oh I am so sorry please forgive me?!?!" He looked up at me and busted out laughing.
I calmed down emediatly and asked,
"What?" He then calmed down himself and said,
"The way you were just sputtering out applogies was so funny. 'I am sorry, I am sorry!' Hahaha." I answered is teasing with a
"Humph!" And crossed my arms over my chest and walked past him.
"Hey Serena!" I froze.
'He called me Serena. He remembers.' I thought as i suddenly hot very excited.
I turn around to face Darien as he walks up to me.
"Look I am really sorry. I did not mean it. Really. Do you forgive me?" I giggled a little, he was actually appologizing.
"Oh I dunno..." I drawled out my answer, teasing him.
He stuck out his lower lip and did a puppy dog face. It was so adorible. I laughed.
"Oh I guess! since you are so good at that puppy dog face. You deserve my forgivness." We both laughed.
He then stopped laughing and he stated in a serious tone,
"You are not like other princesses." I looked over to him, scrunched up my face in disgust and said,
"Well I certainly hope not!" He laughed.
"Would you like to finish your tour of the rose gardens?" He asked.
I smiled and answered, "I would be delighted." He then put his arm out and I took it.
We walked out to the rose gardens in a comfortable silence. We walked down the the rows of differently colored roses. I gasped at every different color rose.
"I take it you like them?" I heard Darien ask.
"Yes I do, very much." I replied calmly, clutching my hands infront of me.
"What is your favorite color?" He asked me.
I thought for a second. "Well there probably is not a black one. How about silver?"
He looked shocked for a minute.
"What!?!" I nearly shouted as he kept staring at me wide eyed.
"You like black?" He asked me astounded.
I giggled a bit and replied,
"Yes I do. Why?" He straightened himself out and said,
"Well most princesses like pink or red. Something like that." I looked up to him. "Well you should know by now, I am not like other princesses. You said it yourself."
He chuckled. "I guess you are right. Silver right?"
I nodded. We walked for about two more minutes until Darien stopped and picked a rose from the bush beside him. He turned to me and handed me a perfect silver rose.
(I know there is no such thing as a silver rose but work with me here people)
I gasped and took it gently from his hand, afraid that it was going to break.
"Thank you." i said in amazement, staring at the beautiful rose in my hands.
"You are welcome." I heard him say.
It was starting to get dark.
"Maybe we should go in. It is getting late." I said looking up at his gorgous face.
'He has gotten even more handsome since the last time I saw him.' I thought, mesmerized by his features.
~Darien's P.O.V~
I heard her soft angelic voice,
"Maybe we should go in. It is getting late." I looked up to the sky and noticed that it was dark blue, filled with little stars.
I nodded and said in a quiet voice, "Yes." We walked back to the palace.
The Moon shown down on her face, illuminating every part of her body.
'Wow! She has really filled out since the last time I saw her. her legs have gotten a bit longer. Her lips fuller. Ooooo, those lips, if only I could feel them against mine. And those breasts have definatly gotten considerably bigger. Darien shut up! that is not proper for a prince and feature king to say!' I scolded myself but couldn't help looking Serena up.
I walked her back to her room and made sure she got in safely. Then I strolled back to my own room and got in some serious sleeping time.
~Serena~
Darien walked me back to my room. I got changed into my night gown, which was a black silk number with lace that rimmed the neck line. It was my favorite. It went down to my mid thighs and was spagetti strapped.
I got into bed and tried to go to sleep, but I couldn't. I just kept thinking about Darien.
'Oh Darien. I think I am falling for you. Oh but what about my promise to myself?' A long time ago I had made a promise to myself that I would never fall in love because I saw what happened, and I didn't want to get hurt like that.
In a nut shell it was like this: My older sister, Jenny, fell in love with a prince. They got married. He had to go to war with another planet, and was killed. Jenny was depressed for years. I would always remember seeing her crying. She was so lonely after he was gone. She loved him so much. And then when my father had to go off to war a month before I was born. He died as well. Mother still grieves for him now. Sometimes at night I would hear her start to cry. Then she would walk out to the palace gardens and remember old times of her and her lost love, my father. I vowed to my self that I was never going to fall in love, I was never going to feel that pain...ever.
I couldn't sleep for the life of me! I got up out of bed and slipped on my robe. It was a white see through material that reached down to my ankles with a small train in back.
I quietly sneeked out of my room. I walked down to the rose gardens. I had seen a little lake near the rose gardens so I decided to visit it.
~*~*The little lake~*~*
I stood infront of the lake, just staring at it as it shimmered beneath the light of the Moon. Suddenly I felt like going for a swim. I looked around and made sure that no one had followed me or was out for a walk. Seeing that there was no one out, I started to strip off my clothes.
I dove into the little lake naked. As I was consumed by the water I felt different. More alive. I don't really know how to explain it but it felt great, with a tingling feeling in my body. I swam around the little lake a few times, just savoring the feeling of cold water on my bare skin.
"Serena? Is that you?" I was startled out of my peacefulness as a man's voice was heard in the darkness.
I quickly turned around to see Darien in his block, ankle length robe. Hehe no train on his. I quickly covered my body and ducked down in the water until it was up to my neck.
"What are you doing here?" I nearly yelled.
He looked surprised. I think he could see through the water since the Moon made it was so bright outside. It made the water look like it was almost see-through.
Darien blushed and looked away. "I, uh, heard something out here, I came to make sure it was not an intruder."
Some how I think he was lieing. I giggled lightly. "I don't think so Darien. You can't lie to me. I can see right into those sick thoughts of your's."
I swam calmly over to him and got out with him still looking away. I noticed I didn't have anything to dry off with.
"Shit." I murmmered.
Wrong thing to say. Darien quickly whirrled around and said with concern,
"What!?!" He sure did get an eyeful.
I quickly grabbed my robe and covered my body with it. i sighed.
"Darien! Don't look! Just find me something to dry off with!" Darien then turned around again and said, "Can't you just use your robe?" i looked at my robe . "It will not dry me off. It is too thin. Plus, my night is no better than my birthday suit." I heard him chuckle.
'Oh well. He will not be able to find anything for me to dry off with. Plus my robe will not be that wet if I just wring out my hair.' I thought logically.
"Oh alright. I just hope my robe will not get wet." I quickly dried off as best I could and put my nightgown and robe back on.
I had wrung out my hair. "Ok, you can look." I said tapping him on the sholder.
He turned around and started to blush.
I giggled lightly. "Sorry, I went for a swim in your little lake. It is just, I thought it would make me feel better."
His blush faded and he nodded, and murmered a "Sorry." I smiled at his embaressment
Darien walked me back up to my room. We were silent most of the way up there. I could tell he was a little uncomfortable about what he saw. He probably thinks that he imbaressed me, but he didn't. I don't really care. I'm not that shy about my body.
"Hey Darien?" I ask using the name he told me to call him a year ago.
"Yeah?" He replies turning his head slightly so he can see my face.
"You did not embaress me, if that is what you are worrying about. I really do not care. To me it is over, it is in the past, it does not matter." I say nonchalontly waving my hand in the air for emphasis.
He nods and we turn the corner and stop infront of my room. I was about to turn the knob to open my door when I turn around, jump up as quickly as I can and peck Darien on the cheek. I quickly turn the knob to my door, throw a quick good- night over my sholder and rush into my room and shut my door. I can just imagine Darien standing right outside my door, just staring at nothing. In a total daze. I laugh at the thought and start to change into a dry pair of pajamas. Once I have my pajamas on I slip into bed, pulling up the black silk sheets, and comforter. And I fell into a deep comforting sleep.

All five of the men bowed respectfully.
Mother smiled graceously and said, "It is an honor to meet you all."
Then I heard a man's deep voice. "Come. We should go into the palace and show you where you will be staying." It was King Jason.
The scouts were still standing at attention behind me. Mother stepped ahead of me and stood beside the queen and king. I stayed with my friends. Mina was the first to speak after my mother and the king and queen of Earth left.
"Did you see Malachite? He is so cute." She said with a dreamy sigh.
"Oh, did you see Jedeite? What a hottie!" Raye nearly yelled with stars in her eyes.
"Nephlite is so dreamy, he looks exactly like my-"
"OLD BOYFRIEND!" Everyone yelled in unison except for Lita who had just spoken.

I blushed and said, "I would love to, they looked beautiful from a glance since that was all I got the last time I was here." He chuckled again, and led me to my room.
My room was beautiful. They defiantly found out that my favorite colors were black and silver.
(Those are actually my favorite colors, but I hate pink so I changed her favorite colors. Sorry Hehe.)
There was a four poster bed against the back wall, the metal bars, head board, matress cover and fitted bottom sheet were black. The sheets, comforter and pillows were silver. My walls were of a midnight blue and there was a dresser and bureau that was stained mohogany and very shiny. The bureau was accompanied by a black cushioned chair, with silver metal bars for the legs and back. Everything was so beautiful. I'm guessing that the girls' room all go along with their favorite colors aswell.
I hear a knock at my door while I was still checking out my room.
"Come in." I say.
The door slowly opens and then I hear a sweet voice say,
"Miss, is everything as you like?"
I turn around to look at a girl that looked about my age. I smile at her, and she gives me a weak smile back.
"Yes, everything is perfect, thank you."
"That's good. I would have thought your favorite colors were pink or something like that, atleast those are some of the other princesses favorite colors that have been here before. OH! I'm terribly sorry I didn't mean to say that, it's just that things come out of my mouth and I can't help it." The girl said appologetically.
I smiled and giggled a bit at her nervouseness.
"Oh do not worry about it. I am not offended at all. As a matter of fact, whenever you are around me I want you to speak your mind, but I do suggest you be polite still. Whats your name?" She smiled and her green eyes twinkled with happiness.
"Thank you very much. My name is Molly! I like you, you're a lot nicer than all those other princesses that have been here. They all act so snobby!" I giggled.
"Well my name is Serenity, but you may call me Serena if you like. It is very nice to meet you, but you know what? Most princesses are snobby because they have been spoiled and do not know better."
Molly looked at me and tipped her head to the side a bit.
"And you aren't?" She asked curiously.
'She is very smart. I really like this girl, Molly.' Serenity thought.
"No I am not. Sometimes it does not matter to me if I become queen someday and posses all the riches my mother does." Molly's eyes opened wide.
She then shook her head to wake her self out of her trance.
"Well I was sent up here to tell you that dinner will be served in 30 minutes. The queen and king don't reqire formal wear tonight." Molly explained.
"I like your queen and king, they are very different from others." I said with a smile on my face.
Molly nodded and then said, "That's why we like them so much. They are very different." We both giggled at her last statement.
"Molly?" I asked.
"Hmm?" she replied, her eyes opening a little wider.
"Do you have to be anywhere at this particular moment?" I asked.
"Nope, the queen and king didn't say I needed to do anything else. Why?" Molly replied, still smiling.
"Do you think you can stay and help me pick out a dress?"
Her smile got even wider. She gasped and then squealed,
"Ofcourse, I would love to!" She hopped over to me, and we both walked over to my closet to find all of my clothes nicely hanging inside. Molly gasped and then pulled out a dress.
"This is beautiful Serena, I think you should wear this one!" I looked over to Molly and saw the dress that she was holding up.
I could tell it was made out of silk from the way it shined. First there was a pale yellow slip that had light pink flowers imprinted on it. It was made to cling to my upper body then fan out at the waist where a yellow ribbon was tied. It had one-inch wide spaggetti straps and a see-through material went over the lower section of the dress, that too was also a pale yellow. It was a very pretty dress that reached to my knees. Molly also suggested that I wear a pair of white "Keds" without any socks.
(I know I said I don't like pink but it just seemed to go with the outfit. And I like Keds, their cool even though they're like 30 years old or somethin like that.)
'I really do like this dress but I wish it was in black and silver.' (hehe)Serena thought dejectidly as she picked at the dress.
"That is a good idea, Mol! I think I will wear it. And look at the time. I have just enough time to get dressed." She smiled proudly and then said,
"Ok then I'll see you again later, Ok?" Molly said and I nodded. Then she walked out the door.
I walked down the stairs to the dining room. I think I looked pretty good in the dress that Molly picked out for me. My figure was nicely defined, it didn't look too skimpy and it didn't look too boring. It was perfect. I had completely forgotten about the time. I finally realized that I was late. Five minutes late. I took off at high speed as I raced to the dining room. I sped past atleast 20 servant in about 20 seconds. I was nearing the dining room, when I finally slowed my pace to a brisk walk and smoothed out my dress. I took a deep breath then walked into the dining room.
I walked over to my seat next to my mother. As soon as I sat down I said,
"I am terribly sorry that I am late. I made a friend and we lost track of the time as we talked." I looked to my right to see that Mother was a little upset.
"That is quite alright dear. Who is your new friend?" Queen Celest asked nicely. I smiled at her and answered,
"Her name is Molly. I am pretty sure that she works for you." Her eyes lit up and she smiled once again.
"Oh yes! She is a lovely girl. Speaks her mind a lot." We both giggled at that.
She looked to her sides and saw all of the kids looked like they were about to starve to death. She giggled and announced,
"Well I guess we better feed these kids Jason, before they starve." King Jason nodded his agreement, and as if on que a line of servants walked out each carring a tray of food.
After we ate I walked back up to my room when I suddenly felt someone grab my wrist. On instincts, I grabbed the person's hand that held my wrist with my free hand and flipped him over my head, so he landed infront of me on his back. My eyes widened when I saw who it was.
"DARIEN!! Oh my god!! I am so sorry!!" I screamed as I helped Darien up.
He laughed as he brushed his clothes off. My eyes were still wide with shock and surprise.
"I am so sorry I did not know it was you!! Oh I am so sorry please forgive me?!?!" He looked up at me and busted out laughing.
I calmed down emediatly and asked,
"What?" He then calmed down himself and said,
"The way you were just sputtering out applogies was so funny. 'I am sorry, I am sorry!' Hahaha." I answered is teasing with a
"Humph!" And crossed my arms over my chest and walked past him.
"Hey Serena!" I froze.
'He called me Serena. He remembers.' I thought as i suddenly hot very excited.
I turn around to face Darien as he walks up to me.
"Look I am really sorry. I did not mean it. Really. Do you forgive me?" I giggled a little, he was actually appologizing.
"Oh I dunno..." I drawled out my answer, teasing him.
He stuck out his lower lip and did a puppy dog face. It was so adorible. I laughed.
"Oh I guess! since you are so good at that puppy dog face. You deserve my forgivness." We both laughed.
He then stopped laughing and he stated in a serious tone,
"You are not like other princesses." I looked over to him, scrunched up my face in disgust and said,
"Well I certainly hope not!" He laughed.
"Would you like to finish your tour of the rose gardens?" He asked.
I smiled and answered, "I would be delighted." He then put his arm out and I took it.
We walked out to the rose gardens in a comfortable silence. We walked down the the rows of differently colored roses. I gasped at every different color rose.
"I take it you like them?" I heard Darien ask.
"Yes I do, very much." I replied calmly, clutching my hands infront of me.
"What is your favorite color?" He asked me.
I thought for a second. "Well there probably is not a black one. How about silver?"
He looked shocked for a minute.
"What!?!" I nearly shouted as he kept staring at me wide eyed.
"You like black?" He asked me astounded.
I giggled a bit and replied,
"Yes I do. Why?" He straightened himself out and said,
"Well most princesses like pink or red. Something like that." I looked up to him. "Well you should know by now, I am not like other princesses. You said it yourself."
He chuckled. "I guess you are right. Silver right?"
I nodded. We walked for about two more minutes until Darien stopped and picked a rose from the bush beside him. He turned to me and handed me a perfect silver rose.
(I know there is no such thing as a silver rose but work with me here people)
I gasped and took it gently from his hand, afraid that it was going to break.
"Thank you." i said in amazement, staring at the beautiful rose in my hands.
"You are welcome." I heard him say.
It was starting to get dark.
"Maybe we should go in. It is getting late." I said looking up at his gorgous face.
'He has gotten even more handsome since the last time I saw him.' I thought, mesmerized by his features.
~Darien's P.O.V~
I heard her soft angelic voice,
"Maybe we should go in. It is getting late." I looked up to the sky and noticed that it was dark blue, filled with little stars.
I nodded and said in a quiet voice, "Yes." We walked back to the palace.
The Moon shown down on her face, illuminating every part of her body.
'Wow! She has really filled out since the last time I saw her. her legs have gotten a bit longer. Her lips fuller. Ooooo, those lips, if only I could feel them against mine. And those breasts have definatly gotten considerably bigger. Darien shut up! that is not proper for a prince and feature king to say!' I scolded myself but couldn't help looking Serena up.
I walked her back to her room and made sure she got in safely. Then I strolled back to my own room and got in some serious sleeping time.
~Serena~
Darien walked me back to my room. I got changed into my night gown, which was a black silk number with lace that rimmed the neck line. It was my favorite. It went down to my mid thighs and was spagetti strapped.
I got into bed and tried to go to sleep, but I couldn't. I just kept thinking about Darien.
'Oh Darien. I think I am falling for you. Oh but what about my promise to myself?' A long time ago I had made a promise to myself that I would never fall in love because I saw what happened, and I didn't want to get hurt like that.
In a nut shell it was like this: My older sister, Jenny, fell in love with a prince. They got married. He had to go to war with another planet, and was killed. Jenny was depressed for years. I would always remember seeing her crying. She was so lonely after he was gone. She loved him so much. And then when my father had to go off to war a month before I was born. He died as well. Mother still grieves for him now. Sometimes at night I would hear her start to cry. Then she would walk out to the palace gardens and remember old times of her and her lost love, my father. I vowed to my self that I was never going to fall in love, I was never going to feel that pain...ever.
I couldn't sleep for the life of me! I got up out of bed and slipped on my robe. It was a white see through material that reached down to my ankles with a small train in back.
I quietly sneeked out of my room. I walked down to the rose gardens. I had seen a little lake near the rose gardens so I decided to visit it.
~*~*The little lake~*~*
I stood infront of the lake, just staring at it as it shimmered beneath the light of the Moon. Suddenly I felt like going for a swim. I looked around and made sure that no one had followed me or was out for a walk. Seeing that there was no one out, I started to strip off my clothes.
I dove into the little lake naked. As I was consumed by the water I felt different. More alive. I don't really know how to explain it but it felt great, with a tingling feeling in my body. I swam around the little lake a few times, just savoring the feeling of cold water on my bare skin.
"Serena? Is that you?" I was startled out of my peacefulness as a man's voice was heard in the darkness.
I quickly turned around to see Darien in his block, ankle length robe. Hehe no train on his. I quickly covered my body and ducked down in the water until it was up to my neck.
"What are you doing here?" I nearly yelled.
He looked surprised. I think he could see through the water since the Moon made it was so bright outside. It made the water look like it was almost see-through.
Darien blushed and looked away. "I, uh, heard something out here, I came to make sure it was not an intruder."
Some how I think he was lieing. I giggled lightly. "I don't think so Darien. You can't lie to me. I can see right into those sick thoughts of your's."
I swam calmly over to him and got out with him still looking away. I noticed I didn't have anything to dry off with.
"Shit." I murmmered.
Wrong thing to say. Darien quickly whirrled around and said with concern,
"What!?!" He sure did get an eyeful.
I quickly grabbed my robe and covered my body with it. i sighed.
"Darien! Don't look! Just find me something to dry off with!" Darien then turned around again and said, "Can't you just use your robe?" i looked at my robe . "It will not dry me off. It is too thin. Plus, my night is no better than my birthday suit." I heard him chuckle.
'Oh well. He will not be able to find anything for me to dry off with. Plus my robe will not be that wet if I just wring out my hair.' I thought logically.
"Oh alright. I just hope my robe will not get wet." I quickly dried off as best I could and put my nightgown and robe back on.
I had wrung out my hair. "Ok, you can look." I said tapping him on the sholder.
He turned around and started to blush.
I giggled lightly. "Sorry, I went for a swim in your little lake. It is just, I thought it would make me feel better."
His blush faded and he nodded, and murmered a "Sorry." I smiled at his embaressment
Darien walked me back up to my room. We were silent most of the way up there. I could tell he was a little uncomfortable about what he saw. He probably thinks that he imbaressed me, but he didn't. I don't really care. I'm not that shy about my body.
"Hey Darien?" I ask using the name he told me to call him a year ago.
"Yeah?" He replies turning his head slightly so he can see my face.
"You did not embaress me, if that is what you are worrying about. I really do not care. To me it is over, it is in the past, it does not matter." I say nonchalontly waving my hand in the air for emphasis.
He nods and we turn the corner and stop infront of my room. I was about to turn the knob to open my door when I turn around, jump up as quickly as I can and peck Darien on the cheek. I quickly turn the knob to my door, throw a quick good- night over my sholder and rush into my room and shut my door. I can just imagine Darien standing right outside my door, just staring at nothing. In a total daze. I laugh at the thought and start to change into a dry pair of pajamas. Once I have my pajamas on I slip into bed, pulling up the black silk sheets, and comforter. And I fell into a deep comforting sleep.
