Queen Serenity knew long before her visitors arrived that they
would be coming. She had known for years what was going to happen, but
she also knew that anything she tried to do to stop it would be
unsuccessful. It disappointed her to no end that she would never see
her daughter marry the handsome young man so full of conviction that
was at that very moment making history with his landmark trip to the
Moon. She was even more disappointed by the cause. All because of a
stupid piece of clear stone she was going to lose the most important
thing in the Universe to her. Her wonderful, sweet little baby girl
and all of the other Moon children. It just wasn't fair!
Her thought were interrupted by the excited whispers of the
princesses making their way to her chambers. A loud, rapid knock came
and she smiled recognizing it as her Serena's over eager energy.
"Enter," she called to the girls.
"Mother, guess what we just saw."
"Two handsome young people and an enormous cat land in the
outer gardens?"
"Mom, that's not fair, you cheated with your crystal."
"I know. I already sent a small squadron out to meet them and
bring them the throne room. Now I want you to go get changed, you know
the how it goes. Mina go put your hair up like a good Moon Princess,
and Serena, you let yours down. I will see you at the audience."
"Mom, can't I be me just this once. He's soo cute," the high
princess whined.
"I'm sorry dear, not this time. Now go get ready. We'll also
be having dinner in the banquet hall tonight, so I will have the
servants set out your party dresses before you retire to your room
this afternoon." The queen patted her daughter's cheek and looked at
her lovingly. She knew it wouldn't be much longer before she would
never see her precious face ever again.
She smiled as Serena turned away and began arguing with Mina.
"Ha, ha Serena. He's all mine," she teased. Serena stuck out her
tongue and chased her out of the room and could hear them as they ran
down the corridor.
Luna walked into the room and leapt up on the bed. "What's the
matter Your Highness?" she asked when she noticed the tortured
expression.
"It's nothing, Luna. Why don't you go get ready for dinner as
well. Persephone will be here for dinner and you two will have much to
talk about. It's been more than ten years since you have seen your
sister. You should go tell the cook what to make for the three of
you."
"Yes, your highness. I'll see you in a little while." She
jumped off the bed and went to do as she was instructed, all the while
wondering what could make her queen and best friend so depressed.
