~*Chapter Two: The Meeting*~

"What is taking her so long?" Queen Serenity asked as she paced to other side of the
room and back.
Even though Makoto had arrived today, it was still Thursday. Thursday was the day of
Princess Serenity's weekly study lesson.
"It's okay." The tutor responded. "If the Princess is this late, she must have a good
reason."
The Queen paused. "I hope your right."
---------------------------------
An hour later...
"It's been an hour." The Queen continued. "You may leave. I'm sorry about this mess.
Serena must have something wrong with her... She looks forward to these lessons so
much."
"It's okay." The tutor assured. "I'll see you next week." The tutor was about to get
out of her seat when Serena walked into the room.
"Ms. Haruna... What are you doing here?" Serena asked.
"Your late." Her mother began. "Ms. Haruna has been waiting an hour for you! It's
Thursday... where have you been?"
"I was out with the girls..." Serena began. "I'm so sorry..."
"Serena, I hate to do this... You're grounded for the day. You are excused from this
room." The Queen finished.
"Mother, I..."
"Don't bother me with it!" The Queen yelled. "You know how much I pay Ms. Haruna, you
know how important these lessons are to a future queen like yourself. You've never
missed a lesson before, what's going on?"
"Nothing!" Serena responded as she ran to her room.
-------------------
Serena wiped away a few tears to show a smile... "At least I don't feel gulity about
going to visit the Earth anymore."
She got off her bed to check her clock. "2:31... I've got some time for myself. Mother
doesn't understand. Times have changed... Peace won't be attained unless we take action!"
Serena pulled out the music box she had gotten from her mother last year. On the top of
the box was a beautiful princess with the same hairstyle as Serena. The princess was
holding hands with a man wearing a mask and a tuxedo. When you opened the box, the most
beautiful melody would begin to play and the two figures would dance.
Serena opened the box to hear the song. The song seemed to have some magical sort of
power in it. Whenever she heard it, she would always calm down and forget her worries.
She glanced down at her almost empty sheet of paper. On it she had begun to write a
song for her future husband. The song resembled her and her feelings for her perfect
guy. She smiled at what she already had.
She moved her fingers across the paper as she slowly began to sing in tune with the
music box:
"In the eyes of the moonlight,
I gaze off into the starlight,
What should I do?
My heart is,
My heart is filled with you."
Serena smiled. It was beautiful. Her guy would be beautiful. She knew that things would
work out in the end. She sighed as saw that the time was approaching 3:30. She folded
the sheet of paper and put it in the music box. She then, slowly closed the music box
and began to sneak downstairs.
'Hopefully no one will know that I'm grounded...' Serena prayed. She tip-toed into the
assigned room and met up with the others.
"It's about time!" Rei scolded.
"I'm sorry..." Serena whispered. "I had to be quiet getting down here."
"There's no gaurds." Makoto assured everyone after she glanced in the other rooms.
"Okay," Minako began. "When I take out the transformation bracelet, I want you all to
repeat these words: Crescent Moon Power Transform! Turn me into an Earthling!"
The other four nodded their heads as Minako pulled the bracelet out.
"Crescent Moon Power Transform! Turn me into an Earthling!" The five chanted together.
All five of the girls had lost their planet symbols that were once engraved on their
foreheads.
Minako winked at the other four, "Look at me!" She had sholder-length blonde hair, and
her red bow was now orange. Her dress was also orange and it was long, but nothing too
fancy.
Makoto smiled, "I sure feel different." Makoto's hair had grown long and it wasn't in
it wasn't tied, it was just down. Makoto's dress was plain green and medium-length.
"That's nothing!" Rei responded. "Look at my hair!" Rei's usual long hair was now only
up to about right under her ears. Her dress was in the same style as Makoto's, but it
was red.
"This is okay..." Ami paused as she looked at the mirror in front of them. Ami's hair
was now as long as Minako's used to be and it was up in pigtails. She had on a dress
similar to Minako's, but it was blue.
"I look great!" Serena exclaimed as she looked at herself. Her blonde hair was now
black and it was medium-length. She wore a medium-length dress which was pink.
"Your hair!" Ami replied. "The color is different!"
"I know!" Serena smiled. "Isn't it great?"
"Not really..." Rei responded. "It only makes you look like me!"
"Not funny!" Serena argued.
"Let's quit this now, before it gets out of hand." Minako insisted.
Rei and Serena stopped their argument and nodded their heads.
"Everyone hold hands and focus on the Earth!" Minako commanded.
"This should be fun!" Makoto exclaimed. "Some adventure for once!"
The five girls joined their hands together, "Princess Planet Teleport!"
As they landed on the Earth, Serena screamed in excitement.
"Your right, Minako! The Earth IS more beautiful inside!"
"Calm down, Serena. The world will think that we're crazy." Minako laughed.
"Why is everyone so excited?" Rei asked.
"Serena's just being her normal, excited self." Makoto answered.
"I'm talking about THAT." Rei pointed to a large crowd of girls who were all screaming
and yelling for no apparent reason.
"Let's get a closer look." Minako ordered as she lead the girls into the crowd.
Minako started to tap a girl on her sholders, "What's going on?"
The girl had long green hair that swayed when she turned to the girls. "How can you
not know? It was announced a week ago in the national paper."
"We haven't been in town long enough." Ami responded.
"Prince Endymion is looking for his future wife! He's making different stops all month!
Today, he's stopping in our town!"
"Seriously?" Serena asked. "Today is our lucky day!"
"Shh!" The girl continued. "He's beginning to address us!"
"Hello, everyone." The Prince began. "If you didn't already know, I am Prince Endymion.
My parents have been very pushy lately and they want me to find my bride before it is
too late."
'He's cute.' Serena laughed. 'He's like a mirage... for my eyes only...'
Prince Endymion cleared his throat before he began again. "Please clear a pathway in
the center. I hope I get to see all of you." The Prince walked off into the pathway
waving to all the girls... When his eyes caught ahold of Serena, they wouldn't let go.
'She's familar... Do I know her somehow.' Endymion shook his head. 'Impossible.'
The crowd was shocked when they saw that the Prince had stopped.
"Do I know you?" The Prince asked as he bent down to kiss Serena's hand.
"No, I don't think so..." Serena paused. 'This can't be happening!'
"I'd like you to come to my castle." Endymion continued. "Maybe my parents can figure
out where I've seen you before..."
"No!" Serena yelled. 'They can't find out!'
The prince looked puzzled.
"I mean, No... I wouldn't want to waste your time like that..." Serena replied.
"It's no problem. You are invited."
"I'm here with my friends... I can't leave them."
"They can come too."
"Now, this is really too much."
"I insist."
Serena sighed. "I give in. Take me away."
The prince laughed. "You're not getting arrested."
"I know, but... it's just... you know... odd." Serena laughed. "I've never done
anything like this before."
"To tell you the truth..." The prince began. "Out of all the crowds... Your the only
one that's really ever caught my eye."
"Your joking."
"I've been told that I can... sense things. You probably think that I'm crazy, but
there is an amazing aura surrounding you."
Serena's face began to turn bright red. "Th-thank you... I think."
"How many friends are with you?"
"F-four... not including myself."
The prince smiled. "I'm glad that you decided not to bring the entire crowd with you."
"I'd never do something like that."
"I didn't think you would."
During that short conversation, between the two of them, no one else seemed to be
there, but them. For those few minutes, the world had stopped... for them.
"We better be going." The prince replied.
"Yeah." Serena smiled as she motioned for Minako and the others to follow. "Let's
explore this planet together."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: Sorry it's so short! I wanted to get a new chapter out as soon as possible! I'm
really enjoying writing this story! ^_^ Thanks for all the reviews and be sure to

I'm sorry that Mamoru seems a bit ooc [out of character], but this is how I wished
Mamoru was... I think he's a little like this is the manga... isn't he?
The song she's [Serena's] singing is Tuxedo Mirage! I rewrote some lines [you know, to make it
rhyme in english] I don't own it, even though I changed some lines... I never will...
so.. yeah.. R+R!
