Princess Serenity was sitting at the window seat, gazing up at the Moon. Just hours ago she wanted to escape that place, but now she would give anything to be back there. "My mother will be so worried about me," she said more to herself than to Darien.
Darien smiled at her apologetically. "Don't worry. I'll simply explain to her what happened, and she's sure to understand."
"If you can get a word in."
Darien opened his mouth to say something, when he heard Serena's stomach growl. "Are you hungry, Pricilla?"
Serena nodded. "Just a little. I never ate supper tonight."
"Me neither." Darien rose, and Serena went to stand up, but Darien motioned her to stay seated. "What kind of host wouldn't serve dinner to his guest? I'll be back with something."
"You don't need me to help or anything?"
"Naw, I can do it on my own." He smiled at her and went into the kitchen to fetch them both something to eat.
Serena stood up and began walking around the room slowly, inspecting it. The cabin was spacious, and it had a quaint homey feeling to it. If she weren't the princess of the Moon, she would definitely love living in a place like this, and with a person like Darien Endymion. She began wondering how he was doing with preparing their supper, so she peeked into the kitchen to see what was taking him so long. Serena almost laughed out loud when she saw him. Darien was covered in flour, and there was something beginning to burn in the oven. Water was boiling over on the stovetop, and there was an unidentifiable object on the plates that she assumed was supposed to be food. Darien was sitting in the midst of the mess, a completely defeated look on his face. Serena suppressed the grin, and walked into the kitchen. Darien looked up at her and straitened up, he also tried fixing his hair, but the black hair turned white with flour. "You don't need any help, do you Darien?" There was an amused smirk on her face.
Darien smiled in an embarrassed and looked away. "I guess I'm not as good of a cook as I thought."
Serena laughed a little and shook her head. "You go get cleaned up, and I'll fix us something to eat."
Darien sighed with relief. "If you insist, Pricilla."
"Oh, I do. Now, go get cleaned up."
"Yes, ma'am." Darien went into the bathroom to take a shower while Serena was left to clean up the mess that he made.
The guardian of Mars, Rhiannin, went into the Queen's personal quarters. Rhiannin was one of the exquisite beauties of the Moon Court. She had short, auburn hair with eyes of green. She was one of the tallest of the Court, and one of the most graceful. She was known as the Warrior of the Sailor Scouts, and although her personality on the battlefield was so, in normal society she was soft-spoken, graceful, and very proper. Serenity straitened up immediately and blinked her tears back. "Your Majesty, we believe that the princess is still safe, and the search party will go to Earth tomorrow to search for your daughter and Prince Endymion."
Serenity nodded, "Has Serena's court been able to pick up on her?"
"We're afraid not, Your Majesty. They have been working hard, and I am afraid their strength is beginning to wear thin."
"I know. Perhaps we should let them rest for tonight."
"Queen, even if we ordered them to desist the search, they would still continue."
Serenity nodded and sighed. "You are right, Rhiannin. Of course they will continue looking. I am only thankful that Serena will have a court as dedicated as them looking after her once she takes over the throne…."
Rhiannin saw the fear and grief in Queen Serenity's eyes. "Do not fret, Majesty. We will return your daughter safely to you. I promise."
Queen Serenity smiled at her and nodded. "I know you will."
Rhiannin curtsied to her queen and walked out of the throne room to continue the search.
Darien smiled at her apologetically. "Don't worry. I'll simply explain to her what happened, and she's sure to understand."
