1 Once upon a Silver Millennium…

Rae looked over at her friend, Serenity. "Come on it won't be that bad." She said as she brushed through her long black hair that glinted purple in from the light overhead.

Serenity crossed her arms. "That's what you think." She had a small pout on her face. Her closest friends, Rae, Lita, Mina, and Ami surrounded her. Ami, the Princess from Mercury with the blue hair was running a scan on her computer.

She looked up to share her findings. "Your just apprehensive about meeting Prince Endymon." She said in her English accent.

Serenity groaned. "Even I could figure that out." She rolled over on her canopy bed to face them. "He's from earth." She said, the pout returning. "I've never been off the moon, never even left Silver Crystal Tokyo, what do we have in common. Besides that, he's old." She began to play with one of her long locks of hair coming from one of the twin buns on her head.

Lita, the princess of Jupiter shook her head. "He's 20, that's not old. Besides, I've meet him before, he's a nice guy." She smiled dreamily. "I like him." She giggled.

Mina nodded. "I'm from Venus, the planet of love, and I have a good feeling about this!" She said, not getting a response she sighed and went on. "It must be so romantic, getting to meet your fiancé on your 16th birthday."

Lita nodded. "Your right. I can guarantee you that you will not be disappointed." She said. She was already dressed in her green party dress. It went nicely with her dark green eyes and brown hair, for some reason she had in a ponytail held with kiddy beads.

Rae crossed her arms, she was getting angry. "Come on Princess Serenity."

"Stop calling me that." came the weak reply as the former mentioned party hid her head in a pillow.

Ami looked up, a determined glint entered her usually kind eyes. "Come on Bunny. She said. Since your not going to cooperate, we're going to have to force you to get ready for the party." She snapped her blue laptop closed and set it on the dresser.

Mina smiled. She knew where this was coming from. "Get her girls!" She shrieked and began to pull on Serenity's right leg.

Bunny tried to kick them away but Lita, the strongest held her arms behind her as Mina and Rae tried to figure out what she should wear.

Ami was covering Serenity's mouth so none of the guards would hear the shrieks as the princesses of the inner planets prepared the Princess of the Silver Millennium for her birthday party.



Bunny spun around in front of the mirror. She had on a white dress that went far below her ankles; it had golden rings on the top and a pearl chain just under her bust. Her hair had been redone, the same two buns with the extra hair hanging down to her knees.

Her eyes were wide from the shock of having her best friends betray her, then from discovering how good she looked. "Wow." She said. She smiled. "Like, wow."

Rae and Mina gave each other a high five. They and the other girls were also ready for the Princess of the Moon's birthday party. Lita looked proud as she crossed her arms to cover the bite mark on her right wrist. Serenity really didn't want to go…

"All right girls, we really should be going to the main hall now." Ami said. They nodded in agreement.



Princess Serenity, or as her friends liked to call her, Bunny, was seated next to her mother at the table. They were in front of the guest and it was time for the big announcement.

Bunny looked over at her four friends who were seated at the table as well. Lita gave her a thumb up sign, and Ami an encouraging smile. Mina was busy eating the desert, but Rae was trying to get her attention.

Bunny sighed. She wished they could have sat closer to her. Her mother, Queen Serenity, gave her hand a squeeze just before she stood up. Queen Serenity gave the guest a warm smile. "Thank you all for coming." She kicked Bunny in the shin mouthing, "smile" to her.

Bunny plastered on a big fake smile, and received another kick to her already sore shin.

"As you know, Princess Serenity was engaged at birth to an unknown prince. Most of you have been waiting along time to hear it announced who the man is. I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Prince Endymon, of Earth will marry Princess Serenity of the Moon kingdom a year from now on her 17th birthday."

Bunny stood up and nodded. At her side appeared an attractive young man. Her eyes turned into heart bubbles as she clasped her hands over her heart. "Wow!" She said. "Who are you?"

He looked down at her and smiled, instantly liking her. "My name is Endymon."

A dreamy look came into Bunny's eyes. "Really?" She asked in a light voice. He nodded casually moving the champagne bottle away from the princess.

As Princess Pluto would say, "The rest is history."
