Serenity stood in the middle of a busling kicten. Serevant ran every which
way doing what the cook asked of them. She went back to her work. The
cook had ordered her to bake a cake and decorate it, lucky for her Jupiter
thought it would be best if she did have some cooking skills. Serenity
put a layer of frosting on the cake and turned around for some sugar to
make more. She turned around so fast that she knocked another sevant off
his feet and a tray of pudding went flying and landed on the front of
the cook's shirt. "USAGI!! YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT TODAY IS BEING THE
QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY! GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN UNTIL YOU CAN LEARN NOT TO BE
SO CLUMSEY!" The cook screamed, his face red as a tomatoe. She could
almost see the steam coming out his ears. Serenity threw down her
apron and ran out of the room before anymore disaster could happen. She
ran out of the palace, tears streaming down her face. Why can't I do
anything right, she thought. She keep running and soon she found herself
in the forest of the castel. Large pine, oaks, maple, and elms surrounded
her. Birds chirpped around her, almost calling her. She kept walking
looking for a way out of the thick forest. She kept walking until the
sun went down, and just when it was setting, she came across a small
lake. She fell onto the grass. She dipped her cupped hands into the cool
water, bringing it to her lips she let the sweet water trickel down
her parched throat. She was happy that she had finally found water, but
still emotionally and physically exhasted from all the events that
had taken place in the last couple of days, she broke down crying, under
the full moon. The moon that was once her home, or so she once thought,
but now unsure of where she belonged and who she was.
@--------------------------------------
Endymion was taking a midnight walk threw the castle forests. But
everything seemed off tonight. Their was something in the forest that
didn't quite belong tonight. Then he heard it. A soft sobbing. He followed
the sound to the lake and there he saw a girl with blond hair sobbing
into her skirt. He took a step. She lifted her head of the sound of the
grass beneath his feet. Dark midnight, sea blue eyes met light, bright
teary, sky blue eyes. Those eyes captured Endymion. They where the most
beautiful eyes he had ever seen. They held things in them that
he could not describe or name.
He tore his own eyes away from them, he would rather have spent
the whole day looking at them, but other matters were at hand.
He took in the rest of the girl. Soft yellow hair reached her
shoulders, her face was pretty, not beautiful, just pretty. A small
scar sat on her little chin. Those eyes made Endymion just want to
grab her and comfort her, he wanted to see those eyes full of love,
just for him. There was something familiar about her eyes, her presences
that just seemed so right, so pure. Like something from his dreams.
Just being around this strange girl gave him such a feeling.
He wanted to have her. To be around her, to be with her. "Who are you,
and what are you doing here?" his voice came out almost cold, trying to
hide the feelings he was having towards her. A beautiful voice came forth
from the soft pale, pink lips. They reminded him of the soft petals
of the pale pink rose. They looked so kissable, he wanted more than
anything to place his lips on hers and kiss her until they both had
no longer any breath to live. "My name is Usagi, I think, and I'm lost.
I got the cook mad at me and I ran out in a hurry not looking where
I was going, who are you might I ask?" The white moon shimmered its
pale light onto her making her seem almost radiant, for such a plain
looking girl. But somehow he knew that it was not just a trick of the
moon, but that inside she was just as radiant as she looked now.
It surprised him that a servant in his own palace did not even know what
he looked like. Perhaps she was kept in the kitchen all day or was new
to the castle. "My friends call me Mamoru, my lady, and I would be so
happy to escort you home." Serenity giggled at the my lady, "Their is
no reason to go all formal on me, please just call me Sere. Its what my
friends call me. And I would be delighted if you would walk me home."
Endymion was surprised at how the girl acted. Caring, sweet and pure.
She may have looked it but he had seen it before. Most girls he had met
were cold and hard. Trying to win their way into his heart or into at least
his bed. They where actress all of them. Why should it surprise him if
this girl is like the rest of them. Why should he even feel this way
for a girl as plain looking as she, when he could have the most beautiful
women in the world at his beck and call. In his bed or at his side.
But his heart went against his mind, telling him that this whisp of a girl
may somehow be different than all the rest. That she was all that
she appeared to be in those bright blue eyes of hers. It was those eyes,
he thought, that made him yearn for her in such away he could not
describe. "Only if you will call me Mamoru, Sere." Its a deal. He held out
his arm and together they walked out of the forest arm in arm.
"What do you do for a living Mamoru?" Serenity asked him. Serenity had
figured out by now that everyone did some kind of work if they where
above the age of ten. "I'm a... merchant." he lied. "Must be very
interesting work."
"Yeah, I get to meet many new people and such. What about you, do you
like working in the palace?" he said eager to change the subject onto her.
"Well its okay. I rather be off having an adventure or exploring. Or
painting. Thats my passion in life, art. But for now I will work in the
palace."
"How old are you Sere?"
"I just turned sixteen a few weeks ago."
"So your married then." disappointment washed over him yet he himself was
unsure why he felt this way. He would have to marry a princess and she was
just a servant. It would be nice to have her in his bed. Those blue eyes
looking down on him. He pulled himself away from such thoughts.
"No I'm not married. I was engaged once but I've scared most of my suitors
off. None of them loved me. I need to be married for love not money.
Finally my mother and papa said that I could chose who I wanted to marry
and when. I just haven't found the right guy yet." Until now, the thought
filled her head. As soon as she had met those deep blue eyes she felt
something calling her into them, into his soul. He made her feel aware of
herself. Of all the suitors she had never felt such a bond or had such
a reaction for any of them before.
"I feel the same way. My parents are pushing me into getting married.
I don't want to be tied to someone I don't love and just wants me for
money and power." He felt like she could read his mind. Maybe she was
a witch that had bewitched him into falling for her.
They talked as they walked. The moon high above them, watching them like
a mother watches her children. They taked about almost everything and
anything, love, power, money, animals, the weather, even the alliance of
the other planets came up once. "Well we're here." She stopped infront of
a old log cabin. "Thank you for walking me home. Maybe I'll see you
again." Serenity almost hoped. "Yes, we will see each other again,
thats if it is okay with you?"
"Yes, I would love that." He picked up her hand and kissed the back of it.
Then he strolled away into the night that blanketed the world in darkness.
She walked inside and closed the door, letting herself fall back onto it
she let out a deep sigh, full of emotions of happiness. She turned around
and found two steaming parents and a wide awake brother waiting to see
what pain would be stored upon her.
