It was sunny outside, the birds were chirping and everyone was
happy. Lady Serenity was taking her daily trip to Court to talk
with the other Ladies and Duchesses. Perhaps today I shall meet
someone new and interesting.., Serenity thought while riding in
the carriage, .. perhaps not. I just hope I don't see that Duke
again today. He is sweet sometimes but I do wish he would leave
me alone. Serenity sighed saddened at the thought of having to
break the Dukes heart again. When will he understand that I don't
link him in the manner he wishes me to be.
"It will be so good to see Mako today," Serenity whispered to
herself. For the last week Lady Makoto had not been around court
because she had to go on a trip concerning land or something of
the sort. Today however Makoto will be in Court and she can get
Duke Harrington away from me, Serenity thought. Gladdened by the
thought of seeing Mako threatening the pompous man Serenity popped
her head out of a carriage window and watched happily as she
approached the Castle gates. "Today shall be a wonderful day!"

A coachman opened the door to the carriage and Lady Serenity
stepped happily out of it and onto the grounds of the courtyard.
Lady Serenity immediately spotted her friends Lady Makoto and
Princess Rei chatting amiably, but could not see Lady Minako or
Lady Ami anywhere.
Lady Makoto was a tall brown haired beauty with green eyes and
an amazing ability in the fighting arts. Although women in general
were frowned upon for being able to fight, Makoto was one of the
two women in the entire kingdom that could fight and she was
admired for it. She often tried to best the Royal Guards, Malicite,
Jedite, Nephlite, and Zoicite, she could beat Jedite, Nephlite,
and Zoicite. No one besides the Prince of the Golden Kingdom
could beat Malicite. Lady Makoto was also know for her expert
cooking skills and her countless crushes.
Princess Rei of the Golden Kingdom had black raven hair that had a
hint of purple in it when the sunlight glinted off it and purple
eyes. Her eye color is uncommon and when she was born she was
said to be cursed by many but as she grew older they realised she
was gifted not cursed and they hold her in the highest respect and
have no foul words to describe their gifted princess. The Princess
is also known for her fiery temper, that has a habit of being
released on the Royal Guard, Jedite.
Lady Serenity walked up to her friends with a dazzling smile on
her face. "Hello Mako! Welcome home! Oh how I missed you! That Duke
has been dreadfully annoying as of late."
"Sere! I missed you to. Don't worry about Duke Harrington I'll
beat him up if he annoys you again." Makoto encouraged the pouting
Serenity. Where as the slightly angry Princess is waiting for her
friend Serenity to say hello to her.
Serenity catching on to the rather violent vibe given off from her
friend happily says hello. The three of them chat about court
gossip and the boys around the palace until Lady Ami and Lady Minako
arrive.
Lady Ami is short and petit with dark blue hair and light blue
eyes. Many thought it odd that a person would have blue hair but it
seemed to fit the young lady and so everyone at court over look that
fact. Lady Ami is also one of the smartest people in the Golden
Kingdom. Women were not thought of to be smart but Ami proved that
a womans perspective to a subject is often very logical. The Royal
Guard Zoicite is known to have a crush on the blue haired girl but
both, unfortunately, are too shy to do anything about it.
Lady Minako was of average height and had a slightly paler shade of
blond hair than Lady Serenity's hair. Lady Minako also has blue eyes,
but hers are the shade of a bottomless pool rather that sky or light
blue like Lady Ami and Lady Serenity's. Lady Minako is the second
lady in the Kingdom that knows how to fight. Together or separate
Makoto and Minako make very tough opponents. Minako is also known
for her songbird voice and wonderful acting abilities.
"Hello Mako, Rei, Serenity!" Minako chirped happily.
"Welcome home Mako," Ami said.
"Hi Ami! Hi Mina!" The three chimed in unison.
"Are we ready to go into the palace and see Father now?" Rei asked
impatiently directing her anger towards the four giggling girls.
"Alright Rei lets go," Serenity said saddened that the gossip got interrupted and because she saw Lady Beryl approaching them.
"Lets hurry before the vulture reaches us," Makoto said when she
spotted Beryl.
"You know, Serenity, I heard that King Rowland was going to give
you a higher title today and that there was to be another big
announcement soon after made by your father, Lord Kenji," Minako
said enthusiastically.
"Rei is this true? Am I getting a higher title?" Serenity asked
King Rowland's daughter.
"I don't know... I guess we'll find out now won't we," Rei said.
