1b: Surprise Party
Princess Serenity smoothed down her skirt, checking to be sure every wrinkle was gone. She was getting ready for her "surprise party" that the girls and her mother threw every year out of tradition on her birthday. She would be summoned to the ballroom and gasp in surprise at all the beautiful decorations and gowns and masks, just like she did every year. Just like she expected. When the time came she played the game, even feigned surprise as the girls met her at the doors and threw them wide.
She never expected she would actually be surprised.
She never expected her heart to stop beating.
She never expected those beautiful blue eyes.
