Serenity was over joyed that no one argued with her decision to make them all go to the future. Trista was there with her daughter Trishta. Trista was worried about Serena since she knew she would have to return to a destroyed world. Nothing was left but Trista had agreed to make Serenity go back to when it was prosperous and see what went wrong.
"Are you ready to go home Serena?" Trista asked gently.
A soft nod. "Yes, we have to get this fixed."
The scenery quickly changed and they were in a foggy area following Serena, Ami, Leada, Amera, and Rei. Serena ran ahead and Ami shook her head as they laughed.
"Is it safe to let her do that?" Serenity asked.
"Yes, once out the fog we'll be in the city. She knows this world better than any of us," Rei said.
"You should relax. No wonder she sneaks off," Raye said petting Serenity on the shoulder. "You're getting to be as bad as your mother."
Serenity blushed. "I guess I have."
They arrived in a busy city. Serena was running around with some of the children and Serenity realized she was only 12 now and so were the other girls. Darien was already catching her and scolding her for not being very lady like.
"She may have to visit Michelle soon," Amy suggested. "Her studies are not where we had hoped with your daughter on her back."
"How is the new recruit dealing with his quarters?" Serenity turned to Lita.
Lita nodded. "He took to it very well. He even went straight to training while every one else rested. He will make a promising general."
"That is very good. How long till the meeting with Amara and Michelle?"
"They are arriving in an hour to discuss the damage done by Rini. They are very mad at you," Mina said as they walked into the palace.
"Get Serena inside and ready for the meeting. I do not want her to be dirty for our guests," Serenity said.
"Of course," one of the random servants bowed before running off.
Serena was out in the fields with the horses just sitting on the fence enjoying their company. Allex walked up leading a horse into the paddock. She smiled at him. "Beautiful horse," she said catching his attention but he got spooked and let go of the lead jumping. The horse kicked him into the mud running away. Serena ran after and caught the horse calming it down.
"T-thank you," he said taking the lead. "I am sorry I was startled by your pressence."
"It's alright. I just can't stand being cooped up all the time. My grandmother says horses are improper for a young lady."
"May I be so bold as to ask why?"
"She says anything that weighs more than me or has more feet than me is too dangerous."
He chuckled. "That doesn't make any sense."
She giggled. "No I guess it doesn't."
They talked for a couple hours about everything either of them could think of till the servant finally found her and he was already hiding. She got down off the fence as the servant bowed.
"Your queen mother is very upset with you ma'am," she said frantically. "You are dirty and late for the meeting with the Uranus royal family."
"I don't like diplomacy. That is my mom's thing. I am more for my people making sure they are taken care of," Serena said. Allex realized she wasn't just a member of the court, she was the princess. "I will be there in a moment." The servant nodded leaving. She sighed. "I guess you know now."
"I am so sorry for being so informal princess," he came over bowing. "It won't happen again."
"Don't say something like that. I enjoyed your company today," she gave him her necklace putting it around his neck. "Don't worry."
