~*~*~*~*~*~
Already a week has gone by. Since today is going to be my last day of freedom, I might as well do something productive. Resolved Serenity.
Getting out of bed and doing some quick stretches princess Serenity decided to take a nice cool shower. Turning on the tap water, letting it run for a few minutes while she put her hair under a shower cap she went it.
Ahhh how blissfully wonderful this feels. Thankfully I'll still have this pleasure even after marrying. Thought Serenity smiling.
Lathering some special new body wash that princess Ami had made especially for, Serenity made extra care that she rubbed it over her back and neck.
"Wow this stuff is awesome! And it smells so good too! Just like the Mercurian Blue-bottomed-white-topped flower. Ah, I gotta remember to thank Ami again!" said Serenity through a sigh.
Finishing her shower, Serenity stood in front of her wardrobe trying to decide exactly what she would wear.
"Should I go as casual? Or princess-like? Ahh I think I want to talk to mom. Better wear the princess dress....just in case." sighed Serenity pulling out that oh-so-recognizable princess dress.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Yes your highness, everything is going as planned. The suitors will arrive shortly after 7:00pm. Then there will be light dancing followed by the introduction of your ladyship and the princess. Then.."
"Excuse me, mother may I have a word with you?" asked Serenity.
"Yes of course. Please come back later will you William?" asked Queen Selenity.
"Of course my Queen" said William as he bowed and left the room.
"Now, what is it Serenity?" inquired Selenity.
Princess Serenity used all the etiquette she could remember in class and used it to her advantage.
"Mother, this ball you are throwing. It isn't... for me to choose my future husband is it?" asked Serenity.
Queen Selenity smiled gently at her daughter. She is growing up so well. I'm so glad that she is being ladylike now. Thought Selenity.
"Ah, you caught me." said Queen Selenity giggling.
"Then it is" said Serenity looking down.
"My dear daughter. I'm only doing this so you can have a good future. And a ball like this is a great way for you to socialize with the suitors. Then you can make a choice based on what you have seen." explained Selenity.
"I see....Mother, do you believe in love?" asked Serenity looking at her mother with a face devoid of emotions.
Queen Selenity grew uneasy at her daughter's stare. But thought that she was much smarter than she seem.
"Serenity. I won't lie to you. I loved your father before we were even married. And when I found out that he was one of my possible suitors. I picked him. So yes I do believe in love" said Queen Selenity seriously.
"Then can't I fall in love and choose him as my husband like you did?" said Serenity with tears in her eyes.
"I'm so sorry Usagi. But there isn't any time left. You will turn 18 in a month, and you will be too busy going through the trials of the Passage of Right to fall in love with anyone. I fell in love with your father 2 years before it was my time to ascend to the throne. So you must understand how this position you are putting me in greatly stresses our tradition" said Selenity calmly.
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT TRADITION!" yelled Serenity, tears threatening to fall.
"Don't take that tone with me Princess Serenity. We have followed our ways for centuries and you will be no exception!" said a stern voiced Selenity.
"Then you don't care for me. I'm not going to the ball!" said Serenity silently as she tore out of the room tears falling down her cheeks.
"Serenity! Come back here!" shouted Queen Selenity as she followed the grieving princess.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Queen Selenity was tired. More tired than she had ever been in years. It turned out that Selenity couldn't keep up with her young energetic daughter and retired to her room instead. Deciding to take a nap to get her emotionally and physically ready for the rest of the important last minute plans, she got into bed and slept.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Run. Faster. Run faster! Got to get away from it all! Got to get away! Can't take it! Why won't mother let me do it my way?! screamed Serenity in her mind.
"We have followed our ways for centuries and you will be no exception!"
Tripping Princess Serenity fell head long down the hill. Lying still on her back on the grass tears silently pouring out.
Tired. So tired. The breeze feels really nice. Thought Serenity.
Eh? I'm outside the Palace? How did I get here?.........wasn't this the place where me and the girls went on the picnic on Monday?...the girls.....wish they were here now.. thought Serenity beginning to cry more.
All the princesses have gone back to their planets to prepare for the big ball tomorrow. Picking out what they are going to wear and practicing their etiquette. In case they forget to do something, or what not to do. Curling into a ball Serenity's eyes were far away. Closing her eyes she quickly fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~
(Dream)
Screaming. Terrible screaming. Pain and destruction. That's what Princess Serenity saw. Running away. Stepping over the dead bodies. Blood...everywhere. Serenity looked down at herself. Hands, clothes, face and even hair...stained with blood. Wet sticky blood.
Get off! Get off! No...no more! I'll be sick! screamed Serenity in her head. Looking up, Serenity spotted a stream. Running to it she jumped into the water. Washing furiously, scratching so hard that she drew blood.
Must get it off...must get it off! Why is there more coming?! Crying, looking up Serenity actually took a glance at where she was.
"Barren lands. Hardly any trees. Farm houses, there are farm houses. This is a country. So poor. Don't they have a ruler?" said Serenity out loud.
"We did" said a voice behind. Princess Serenity turned and screamed at the sight she saw. A man in his 40's. Ripped clothes, blood everywhere. His arm had been torn off, incorrectly also. There was some remains of skin and bone.
"What....what happened to you?!" screamed Serenity
"War, famine, death. Our ruler does not really rule. It...it's really his soldiers" said the man collapsing. Serenity catching the man who was on the verge of death.
"Damn, seishi" said the man shuddering. Serenity knowing what was happening screamed and cried for the man she didn't know. Gently placing the man on the dirt, Serenity offered a prayer to all the deceased. She was half way through the prayer when she was grabbed roughly by the shoulders. Unwillingly turned around she faced the stranger. Serenity gave an involuntary shudder as she saw the cold, ruthless, yet handsome man in blue armour. Suddenly everything turned white.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Shivering brought the cold princess to consciousness. Getting up she wrapped her hands around her arms. Her knuckles white with the cold and fear of the dream. Slowly but steadily she made her way back to the palace.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Pacing is what the lady in Princess Serenity's Royal Chambers was doing.
Where could she be?! It's been so long already! She went missing at 11:30 this morning and we've yet to find her, and it's what time now?! The pacing lady glanced at the clock on the wall. It's 10:00 at night now! Please goddess Selene! Take care of the princess!
Continuing to pace the door suddenly opened revealing a very ragged and cold Serenity. Upon seeing Serenity, the woman was so relieved but so very angry.
"Princess Serenity! Do you know what time it is?!" raged the woman
"No Luna. It was dark so I went home" replied Serenity
"Where did you go? We've been looking for you everywhere inside the palace!" yelled Luna.
"Easy. Outside the palace" replied Serenity lightly laughing at her joke.
"Don't give me a smart aleck response!" shouted Luna.
"I was only telling the truth. Now if you excuse me. I have a date with a hot bath" said a cross Princess Serenity. Leaving an opened mouth Luna, Serenity went to take a bath.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Coming out of the bath, Serenity spotted her nightgown on her bed. Arigato Luna. Thought Serenity. With that Luna walked in the door. Looking up Serenity put on the nightgown and got into bed. Luna walked straight to her.
"Look Luna. I'm sorry that I was rude to you before but I was in a VERY bad mood. And about me being late. I ran outside after the fight with mother. I didn't know where I was going until I was there. I was so tired that I laid down on the grass. I fell into a deep sleep after that. I didn't wake up until two hours ago. I just needed some time to think also. Sorry to worry you all." said Serenity sadly.
Princess Serenity saw a rare sight today. Luna the physically and emotionally strong woman was crying. Serenity hugged the older lady.
"Your mother just wants what's best for you. Please don't be mad at her for it" said Luna in between sobs. Serenity grimaced, but let the hard look on her face fall.
"I know. I'll be there for the ball" said Serenity less than half-heartedly.
"Thank you" said Luna and she got up and left the room. Princess Serenity intending to sleep laid down on the soft bed.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ohhh Usagi! Aren't you done drying your hair yet?" cried Minako
"Almost, few more minutes!" said Serenity from the bathroom.
"Hurry up and put on your dress once you're done!" ordered Luna
"Hai.....ah done!" said Serenity stepping out of the bathroom. Walking to the bed Serenity started to put on the dress(with help from her friends of course).
First the long pale pink dress. Which has no straps. Just armbands of the same pale pink which ended with the long flowing ribbons. (Kind of like Queen Selenity's dress except no armbands and instead of the dress white, it's pale pink) At the top of her dress there is a white band going across. In the middle is a Red Ruby clasped with gold. Over that there is ivory white corset which shows off a lot of curve. Then there is the cloak/cape which is white on the outside and velvet red on the inside. To top it off. There upon Princess Serenity's head is a intricate gold tiara with the moon emblem.
"Wow girl! If looks could kill, all of your suitors would die by just glancing at you!" squealed Princess Minako.
"Heh, you think?" asked Serenity shyly.
"Oh yeah! Let's get that hair done!" said Minako and began to fix up her hair. After a long 30 minutes, Minako was finally done.
"Well what do you think?" asked Minako wiping her brow. Princess Serenity looked into the mirror amazed that her hair looked....well...actually good. There where three mini 'meatballs' on each side of her head and the rest of the hair fell from the 'meatballs' ending in soft golden ringlets.
"Luna we're all done!" yelled Minako.
"Finally! It's almost time for you to be presented. Princess Minako please wait with the other girls. I will get you when it's time to present you" explained Luna rushing Serenity off.
"Thanks a lot Minako-chan!!" cried Serenity as she was swept away by Luna. Smiling, Minako left and went to go find the other girls as she was told.
~*~*~*~*~*~
The guests were all waiting for the arrival of the Queen and Princess. They waited in the grand hall where there were light snacks and drinks. Many of the couples were dancing with their partner to a waltzes. Group of older woman gossiping in the corner, group of older men smoking their cigars. Group of princesses and lady's in the centre talking about which suitors would look good with Princess Serenity.
"Oh look! It's Prince Endymion of Earth!" squealed Princess Elandra of Corus.
"Oh he would look so good with Serenity!" said Lady Deanna of Arcullia dreamily.
"My dear, he would look much better with me" said Princess Sophia of Remus.
"Hey, isn't Princess Sophia related to the stuck up prince you where making fun of before?" whispered Princess Makoto to Princess Rei.
"Yep, you can so tell that they're related. Same attitude" giggled Rei and Makoto.
"Princess Ami, how lovely to see you and your gorgeous eyes. Please come and dance the night away with me!" exclaimed Prince Leonardo. Princess Ami rolled her eyes and said "Aren't you wanted with the other suitors over there?" pointed Ami.
"Oh dear me, I am. We will have that dance later. I promise" said the prince kissing Ami's hand.
"See I told he was clueless! He doesn't get a hint!" sighed Ami rubbing her temple. The girls giggled at Ami's actions.
"Ami he LIKES you! He's trying to court you. By the way, he's pretty cute eh?" said Princess Minako slyly.
"Yes, uh...I mean" stuttered a crimson Ami. The group laughing at the good natured fun going on. Suddenly the trumpets started playing such formal music, and Sir William stood at the top of the stairs.
"Ahem, may I introduce Queen Selenity of the White Moon Kingdom" announced Sir William proudly. He was cut off by roaring applause as the Queen entered the room. Regally, proud, head high, such magnificence and grace! Wearing one of her best dresses, white silk with pearls sewn into the fabric. Silver hair was complimented with a blazing golden crown with the moon emblem. Her dress reaching the floor, walking with ease she went and sat down on her royal throne. The audience was in awe in her presence.
"Introducing her daughter Princess Serenity, next successor of the White Moon Kingdom!" stated Sir William proudly. The audience went silent as a figure came out of the shadows. First the pale pink dress could be seen, then golden curls streaked with silver. Then into the light her whole body could be seen. Everyone was so astonished at the gorgeous sight the Princess made. Gracefully making her way down the steps, the crowd stepped aside to let the next successor through. Men, woman, children, rivals and friends alike could not believe the sight. Reaching the throne she sat down with ease. Queen Selenity smiling with so much pride as one mother can give to her child. Serenity smiled back and glanced around the room. Suddenly there was a thunderous applause and a lot cat calls from the most courageous suitors. Standing up Queen Selenity managed to quiet down the guests.
"Tonight is a special occasion. The mark of a new successor had been witnessed by all of you. Her crescent moon glowing more brightly than ever. She is ready for the Passage of Right. Even her hair is starting to show some silver in it" announced Queen Selenity. With this the lots of people strained their eyes to see the sliver in Serenity's hair.
Do they have to stare at me? I feel like a fish in a fish tank. Eugh gross, why are all the men looking so ravenous. Like wild animals....... that's why I don't want to get married. They only want me for my looks. Ecchi, hentai, bakayarou....sigh...that won't do anything against them though. I can only choose the best one. Sighed Serenity and listened to her mother babble.
Finally her mother was finished speaking and it was time to dance.
Yippy, now I get to dance with all of my suitors. God this is going to take so long. Thought Serenity as she saw the line.
After dancing with 15 people in a row she was starting to get dizzy. She excused herself to take a rest. Going on onto the balcony she breathed in the cool fresh air.
"Usagi-chan?" called Princess Makoto
"Hi Makoto-chan" said Serenity
"Is there something wrong?" asked a concerned Makoto
"No, just a bit dizzy. So I thought I'd get some fresh air" replied Serenity
"Usagi you know what I mean. I saw your face during the whole ceremony. And while you were dancing with the suitors, I know that face you used. You were totally revolted by all of them....except one" stated Makoto. Serenity gave her a face that said go-on-with-it.
"Now what was his name? Oh yeah, Prince Endymion of Earth. You seem to be at ease with him" said Makoto.
Well, it was only because he was the only one looking in my eyes and not at my breasts. But I guess he's not bad. He was really polite Thought Serenity with a smile.
"Ah ha, here he comes. That's my que to go" said Makoto with a wink.
"Ah Mako-chan wait" said Serenity turning to get her but was stopped by a glimmering green light. Serenity surprised but unafraid put out a hand to touch it.
"Princess! Get away from it!" yelled a voice. Serenity's view of the glimmering green light was replaced with a blue cape. Prince Endymion of Earth took out his sword and swung it at the light. The light was not fazed and it simply went out after a few tense seconds. Endymion lowered his sword and turned around to face the princess in 'distress'.
"Are you alright Princess? Did that light hurt you?" said the prince checking the princess.
"No, I just wanted to touch it" said Serenity
"It might have hurt you!" exclaimed Endymion
"No, it wouldn't have" said Serenity silently. Endymion unsure of what to do pulled the princess into a hug. Serenity although surprised at the action did not pull away.
There was one person who saw them hug and smiled to herself.
~*~*~*~*~*~
At the end of the night there was a closing ceremony which then Princess Serenity will announce her husband to be if they accept. Instead, Queen Selenity stood up and got the attention of everyone.
"Now this is the moment all of you suitors have been waiting for. Serenity's choice" said Selenity gravely. At those words Serenity had a complete look of shock on her face. Queen Selenity went on, without noticing the look on Serenity's face.
"Princess Serenity has thought long and hard on this. Please do not be upset if it not you" continued Selenity. This time Selenity did glance down at her daughter. Her face held rage inside. But Queen Selenity gave her one look that she had never given her daughter before. And it meant do-not-argue-with-me-we-will-talk-later. Serenity completely surprised at her mother, she actually looked away and did not argue. Instead she dug her nails into the armrest and braced herself for the blow that was coming.
"Serenity's husband will be, if he chooses to accept, Prince Endymion of Earth!" declared Queen Selenity. The crowd when wild with applause. Queen Selenity glanced down at Serenity and was shocked at how she was reacting.
No, it can't be! HOW DARE SHE MAKE THAT DECISION BY HERSELF?! I don't even like him! NO I WILL NOT MARRY HIM! How could mother do this to me? She has always been fair. This is NOT FAIR! I can't....I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS NOW! I, I need to get away, get away. Even if it is for awhile, I feel sick. Can't handle it. Must get out of here. Thought Serenity sickly. During all the time Serenity was thinking Queen Selenity concluded the ceremony.
"Serenity we must talk now, follow me" stated Queen Selenity calmly leaving the room. Serenity determined to stop the marriage she followed her mother to one of the back entrances.
~*~*~*~*~*~
The inner princesses witnessed the obvious scene between mother and daughter, they were concerned for Usagi. Following them silently as they wanted to eavesdrop on the two, they hid behind the curtains that was separating them. As soon as they got there the fight had already begun.
"What gave you the permission to choose my husband without my consent?!" yelled Princess Serenity.
"I am your mother, and that gives me the right! This is for your future, I only want what's best for you" retorted Queen Selenity.
"What's best for me?!" roared Serenity as she continued "You only want what's best for the kingdom! Since when have you turned into a heartless person?!"
"How dare you say that to your mother! All my intentions were based on your actions!" shouted Selenity.
"Explain!" growled Serenity.
"Yesterday, when we had the fight. You were out of control, you were not thinking straight. It seems you need someone to control your emotions, for the benefit of the kingdom I could not have such a wild person in charge. And so I picked out the best man for the job!" explained Selenity shuddering.
"So you want to put the rest of my life under surveillance with that creep!" screamed Serenity. And at that precise moment they noticed Prince Endymion of Earth standing in front of them. Princess Serenity looked away, un-wanting to show she was crying. Queen Selenity recovered first and spoke.
"Prince Endymion, how long have you been there?" asked Queen Selenity.
"Long enough to hear everything" said Endymion. Princess Serenity turned around.
"Then you know that I do not want this marriage to take place. After seeing this side of me, you wouldn't want to either do you?" said Serenity with hope.
"Oh no, I was chosen and I have accepted" said Endymion closing his hand on her wrist. Then he whispered into her ear so she could only hear.
"That way when I break you. It will be much more fun" said Prince Endymion of Earth gleefully. Princess Serenity did not take that statement nicely and she retorted with a sharp smack to the face. Breaking out of his hold she walked away holding her head up high and her fists clenched.
"Serenity get back here and apologise to Prince Endymion!" scolded Queen Selenity. Princess Serenity taking no heed to what her mother said she kept walking. The girls seeing Serenity coming they tried to get away except in the tangle Rei was pushed in front of Serenity. Serenity did not know what hit her, except all she remembered before blacking out was that she walked right into a bright glimmering red light.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Everyone in that hallway stood frozen even after they'd seen what happened. Queen Selenity snapping out of the trance walked to where Princess Serenity last stood.
"Where, where did Serenity go? What was that red light? Rei did you do something?" Queen Selenity kept on babbling. Princess Rei was stunned.
Did I do something? That red light? What was that? Where did it come from? It, felt...familiar. I did something to Usagi. How could I do that? What happened?! Thought Rei. She was beginning to blame herself, her face held a look of horror and she clutched her arms. She started to cry, then moan about what she just did. The other girls could not believe what had just happened. Princess Ami stepped forward and took control of the situation.
"Queen Selenity please calm down, we will find Usagi. Go rest in your chambers, we will have a report sent to you as soon as possible. Rei, look at me" said Ami sternly. Rei didn't listen and Ami slapped her across her right cheek. Rei snapped out of her trance with a look of sadness.
"Rei you did not do anything. You were not in your senshi form so you couldn't have. Stop blaming yourself. If you really want to get Usagi back, snap out of it and help us in the search" said Ami calmly. Rei nodded and stood back. Ami seeing that Queen Selenity had not left she ordered Prince Endymion to take her to her chambers. He complied and took her away. Ami then turned to the other girls.
"Makoto call the Outers and tell them the situation and report back here when you get them" commanded Ami.
"Right!" said Makoto and she dashed off but not without looking back with tears in her eyes.
"Minako call the guards and get a search party started" said Ami.
"H..hai!" Squeaked Minako running off.
"Rei come with me, we will perform some tests and I will get to the bottom of this!" said Ami angrily.
