3 Chapter 1



**Endymion just proposed to me. It was so romantic when he did. He walked me around the gardens and then took me by the hand, got down on one knee and proposed. I don't think I could've been any happier. I had tears of joy streaming down my face, and it ruined all my make-up, but I didn't care. Being with him for all eternity is what really matters.

The ring was so beautiful. It was gold, with a crescent moon shaped diamond resting on top. Then beside the crescent moon, there were 2 amethysts on either side. I absolutely love it. **

Serenity snapped her journal shut, leaned back against the tall hedge behind her, and sighed. She looked down at the golden ring on her finger, and then looking up at the night sky, she could see the earth shining, outnumbering all the little stars around it. All memories of the previous hours flooded back to her, and she let them take over her, because to her, it was the most wonderful night she could've ever dreamed. She knew it was late, but what could it hurt if she stayed out a little longer…

Above her, an owl hooted, stirring the princess. Serenity gasped, everyone would be wondering where she was. Standing up from her comfy spot on the ground, next to the pink and white roses, Serenity hid her diary in a gap between two boulders, shuffling it around until it was out of site. Then standing up straight, she swiftly ran across the secluded area towards another hedge, where she reached in, and felt for the familiar twig. When she heard a fake snap, she pulled away as part of the hedge remove itself from the rest, leaving a doorway for one to walk through. But before Serenity left, she turned back and stared across the garden, and thought of how she had found it.

***Flashback***

Serenity didn't know where she was, or how she had got there for that matter, but she knew she was being pulled. It wasn't forceful, or against her will, because she was following her sense to wherever it led her. Someone, or something was calling her name, and it wasn't evil. But it needed her to be there, to have her guidance, her assurance, her presence.

Serenity came upon a tall hedge, which indicated the end of the garden. But that was not how she saw it. The garden continued beyond this point, Serenity knew. By instinct, she reached into the hedge, felt for a twig, and when she heard it snap, she watched with fascination as a doorway appeared. What Serenity saw on the other side amazed her to no end.

The first thing Serenity saw were the roses. All different colours and sizes. Pinks, and Purples, yellows, whites, oranges, all colours of the rainbow and further. Not even the Earth's roses were as colourful as these. Serenity even noticed sparkling gold and silver roses! Four walls surrounded the secretive world, covered with vines and with equal colour. Crystal clear ponds were scattered amongst the land, and from a distance, you could see tiny mermaids and other sea creatures swimming inside them. There was a tall tree in the middle of the area, which bared shade, but Serenity realised she had not noticed the enormous tree from outside. A wide path streamed around the garden, twisting between the ponds and around the roses. To Serenity, it was like being in a dream. And she knew, that the garden was for her only, her secret to hold.

***End Flashback***

Serenity smiled, and walked out. The doorway closed, and Serenity continued on her way back to the palace.

"Oh, where has that princess gotten to now?" Minako asked urgently, more to herself then to her friend, Makoto, who was striding beside her. "We'll find her. She's got to be around here somewhere…" Makoto promised, though she wasn't sure if she believed even her own words. Serenity had been disappearing quite a lot lately, and no one knew where she always went, but she always came back, unexpected. They turned a corner only to bump into Endymion. "Have you found her?" Endymion asked. "Found who?" a soft voice came from behind. The three turned around to see Serenity, grinning mischievously, her hands behind her back. Endymion rushed to hug her, while the two girls brought out their communicators to inform the other Senshi of the arrival. "Where have you been, Sere?" Endymion asked, almost sternly, though there was love in his eyes. "Yes, we are most curious." Minako said sarcastically. A light tinkling laugh filled the hallways, Serenity would not tell anyone. "Oh, I've just been around…"

"Around where?" came three replies, and Serenity giggled once more. "Around." Serenity said warmly, though a tone in her voice said end of discussion. Makoto sighed. "Well, now that the princess is found, I shall be getting off to my chambers. I'm so tired, and it's been a long day, with all the searching…" She glared at Serenity, only to get an innocent look back. "Yeah, me too." Minako piped up, smiling cheerfully. She always seemed to enjoy the hunt, even though it worried her as much as the rest. "Goodnight you two lovebirds." She winked, and walked off down another hallway, Makoto in trail. "Hmm… I think I might follow them, sleep is a good idea at the moment." Serenity smiled, looking up at her prince. Oh, how she wished to tell him of the garden, where she always seemed to be lately. But she had to keep it a secret, no one could know. Serenity kissed him longingly, but before she left, Endymion asked, "You haven't had second thoughts about tonight, have you?"

"No, of course not." She giggled, then left him to stare after her as she walked away.
