I thought it would be cool to buy Sailor Moon, so I went over there with my
$35.68, but unfortunately they threw me out, after, of course laughing at
me for 10 minutes. Alas, I don't own Sailor Moon, but I'm working toward
it.

Last time. Serena come a respectable distance from him and stopped. She was waiting for him to make the next move, which he did. Getting off his horse, Endymion walked toward her and helped off the horse, his arms about her waist.
"Serena," he said softly, "There is something I need to tell you before we go in there."
~ ~** ~~ * *~~ **~ ~** ~ ~** ~ ~** ~ ~** ~~*
"Serena, my parents aren't suffering from some ordinary aliment. A magical curse has brought them to this state. There is." Endymion hesitated; he didn't know what to tell the girl before him, what if she his soul mate, the one who would free his parents? He wasn't even sure he had the right one. "There's a prophecy which says a girl who can free my parents. There is more to it, but this is all that is important right now."
"You think I am this girl?" Serena asked disbelievingly.
"Maybe, it is said she has healing powers and that she. Serena, this girl whom ever she is a princess, one who went missing long ago, but Serena, please we can discuss all this later." Endymion wanted to keep her questions to a minimum, the answers were long, and all he wanted was to see his parents.
Serena was more hesitant than ever, she thought she was going to help a sick king and queen, but now all this business of lost princesses and prophecies had erupted. She was about to ask to be given some time to think, when she got a look at his pleading eyes. He seemed so worried about his parents that she relented.
"Let me see your parents," she said simply.
The hope in his eyes startled Serena, usually he only had a cold stoic look on his face. The hope also scared Serena, she didn't want to be the one to extinguish it. She thought back to the times when there were people she just couldn't save. She hated to let anyone down, especially him.
"You guys ready?" called a faint voice.
Serena turned to see Andrew and Greg in the distance. Endymion at that same moment took his hand off Serena's waist, wondering what he had been doing.
Endymion cleared his throat, and motioned Serena toward the entrance. Serena began to walk through the massive stone gateway.
She marvelled at the size of everything in the castle. She had never experienced luxury like this before. Her eyes strayed toward the figure of Endymion walking at a swift pace before her. She didn't know what to think about him, she hadn't really known him long enough for any type of relationship to be defined. She settled on a feeling of indifference toward the prince, she was neither in love, nor in enmity with him. Serena's eyes watched him once more as she lengthened her strides to match his. One thing that she was sure of was that he was quite handsome.
The pair began to climb a flight of stairs, Endymion wanted to have the girl look at his parents as soon as possible, but he knew it wouldn't be fair to her.
"You can have this room. You must be tired from your long journey. I will send someone to call you for dinner," Endymion said shortly, before turning and walking down the hall.
Serena simply stared at the large wooden door a moment before opening it. Inside the room was large, and exquisitely furnished. She took in the room as she sat on the bed with her small bag of belongings. Carefully she took out the most important objects, a baby blanket, and a necklace. She tucked the blanket underneath the pillow on the bed, and put on the necklace.
'Could I really be the girl?' she speculated as she lay her head in the pillow, 'I'm just a healer with no past. I'm of no importance, it couldn't possible be me, but I will try to heal the king and queen for Endymion's sake. I know what it is like to be without parents, no one should have to suffer in that way.'
Serena knew that Luna and her father were her family. She knew that they loved her, but it just wasn't the same as her own parents. She prayed she had even one memory of them, or of the life she once had. She wished she had an image to hold on to, to comfort her. Did her parents love her? What were they like? Did she have siblings? She would never know, she had a new life, one that she was content with, but the longing for more was always lingering. She just wished.
Serena fell asleep, a single tear trailing down her cheek.

"Miss?"
Serena's blurry vision revealed a young girl hovering over her. She sat up and stretched her arms.
"What time is it?" she asked her voice deep with sleep . "Miss, it's time for you to get dressed for dinner, I've already drawn a bath."
"Thank you very much," she replied yawning. Serena attempted to get out of bed, but fell to the floor in a tangled mess of sheets.
"Miss!"
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Serena finished her bath without any more incidents and came back out into the room. On the bed was the most beautiful dress Serena and ever seen, and by the mirror stood the girl with a hairbrush in her hand.
"What's this?" asked Serena, confused.
"We must get you ready for dinner miss," replied the girl, looking at her a bit oddly.
"Well- I'm sorry, what was your name?"
"Molly, miss," she answered.
"Well Molly, I'm not a princess, I can dress myself, and even though this is a gorgeous dress, I'd rather wear my own, I don't think it is appropriate for the healer to be dress in this finery."
"Miss," Molly began.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Why don't you go take a break," assured Serena.
After Molly left, Serena reached for her bag and pulled out a blue dress. It was a simple dress, not extremely flattering, but one Luna had made with love. The dress and her crystal were the only things she wore. Serena quickly tied up her hair and was ready to go downstairs. As she glanced in the mirror, Serena saw that she wasn't breath taking beautiful, but was clean and presentable, and that was all that was important to her.
* * * * * * Okay that's all. I know there isn't really any romance yet, but I'm working to it. You'll also notice I didn't use the normal 'unbelievably beautiful' Serena, but I'm working with that too. I would like to try to make her a real person as mush as possible, with emotions, insecurities, and flaws. Let me know what you think! Review!
