New Life or Not
Chapter 13
By SolarBlueRose

After I used my Silver Crystal on my parents to make them think I will go off to a school in another country, I
started to pack. I collected all my clothes, stuffed animals, shoes, hair accessories, books, CDs, my CD player, and other
items; I put them all in my subspace pocket. When all the things were packed, well almost all, I spotted my red rose and
star locket.

The red rose is the first rose Darien ever made me, it lasted over one thousand years. I stare at it whimsically.
It's so beautiful, so beautiful. I remember the day he gave it to me.

We were in the garden on the moon. It was a gorgeous afternoon, the sun was shinning brightly, and the
temperature was mild. The previous day I had promised Darien we could go on we could go on a picnic. I remember I was
wearing an ice blue silk dress and he was wearing a white shirt and navy blue pants. We were sitting under a Lunar
Willow. I believe we were talking about how you can't really find love when you are a royal.

"Serenity, while we are on the subject of love…" Darien says shyly. He had a tint of blush on his cheeks; it was
so adorable. He was so shy he could even finish his sentence.

I needed to help him out on expressing his thought, "And, Darien."

"And I…well…ummm… I think… I've falleninlovewithyou," he said quietly.

"I remember I couldn't understand the last part of his statement. He said it really fast it came out as
nonsense. "What was the last part?"

"I've fallen in love with you," he said the he turned to look at the willow. I think he was scared about my
reaction.

I touched his shoulder and he turned his head. "I've fallen in love with you too,' I said then I felt heat rush to
my cheek.

He lifted up my chin and he kissed me. That was my first kiss. It was just a simple kiss, but it was so magical.
For the next couple of hours we talked about our feelings and kissed from time to time.

He walked me to my room and right before I entered he gave me the rose.

"Serenity, I give you this rose as a token of our love. As long as this rose is alive our love shall live," he said
and then kissed me and slowly walked to his room.


That was a perfect day. Well he was wrong, the rose is still alive, but our love is gone. I slowly walked down
the stairs and say good bye to me parents. I walk to the park solemnly. I do have some regrets on leaving, but I need to
do this. I have to go on with my life. There are more people who need me more.

When Midnight came, I saw the guardians coming up to me. I could see sadness in their eyes. I saw Rini and I
could see in her eyes she wanted to stay, but I will ask anyways to make sure my prediction is sure, "Rini, Will you be
going with me."

She has tears in her lovely eyes and has a weak smile on, "I'm sorry mommy, but I can't. I'm going to stay with
daddy."

"I understand, it's ok," I replied sadly. Then I turned to everyone, "Well this is good bye. I might be back I'm
not sure. Good Bye." I take out my staff and wave it around my body and I disappear in bunch of glittering lights.

The next thing I know I am in the Moon Palace throne room. Many people are look at me in wonder. I believe
they recognize me because they started to bow.

"Your Highness, I welcome you back to our fair Moon," a man walks up to me and speaks. The man is about one
foot taller than she is. His fill with joy, "I will take you to your new throne room.

The palace looks the same as it did many years ago. Memories of the past fill my mind. As I walk into the
throne room, I notice pictures of my mother fill the halls. There are pictures of her in her royal robe, with father, and
family pictures. I walk up to the throne. My hand touches the silver moons that adore the chair handles. I slowly sit in on
the throne, remembering the times my mother sat on this throne and took charge of the kingdom.

"Dear people of the moon. I, Princess Goddess Serenity, here by take my rightful place as reigning monarch of
this Kingdom. I promise thee, I will rule as my mother had. I will rule with honesty, loyalty, and will make sure the people
come first," I announced to the courtiers in the room.
