Silver Millennium Year - 1674 MC
The young woman sat down at her vanity table looking at herself in the
mirror. What a puppet she had become. She brushed her fingers through
her bangs, the sparkling crescent moon, glistening in the ethereal glow
of the candles.
Today the puppet was following the orders of her Queen mother. Already
she could feel the strings tightening around her limbs, for today the
Princess as getting married.
Looking down at her attire of silk bra and panties, she reached across
her vanity grasping at a powder-puff. Batting it against her body, the
powder gave her a glow of glittery sparkles.
The Princess stood from her seat walking over to her bed where a large
ornately decorated gown was draped along the silken bedspread. The
Princess's fingers danced through the sequenced bodice, before picking
it up and holding it against herself.
With a sigh she undid the buttons and dropped the dress low enough so she
could step into it.
"Not yet Serenity..." A female voice interrupted her causing her to almost
drop the gown to the floor.
"Huh?" Serenity turned holding the gown in one hand no longer caring. "Why?"
A woman stepped through the doors wearing a long glittery red gown. Her hair uncharacteristically let loose along her back. Her blue eyes shown with
admiration as her glittery red gown hung on her like a second skin. Along her
arms were red glittery markings that gave the illusion of see-through sleeves.
"Because I want one more memory of you away from the chains..." The woman
peered through her black bangs, her dark blue eyes resting on Serenity.
Serenity's eyes filled with pain as she dropped the gown and running toward
the woman. "Oh Seiya..."
Seiya wrapped her arms around Serenity, her chin resting on the top of her
head. Seiya's fingers played idly with the back of Serenity's silken bra.
"What am I gonna do without you Serenity?"
"Don't even say that Seiya, we will still get to see each other..."
"Like how Serenity? Do you really think your Prince Endymion..." Seiya raised
her arms in emphasis. "...will really want me to hold you too..."
Serenity looked up tears already forming in her eyes but she didn't want
Seiya to torture herself like this. Reaching up Serenity cupped the back
of Seiya's head pulling her down into a kiss. When they finally broke apart
Serenity could only smile. "I promise Seiya, your heart will always
belong to me...Always"
Seiya looked away trying to mask the emotions she always tried to hide.
A single tear fell from her eyes she pulled Serenity closer to her. "I
love you Serenity..." Not waiting for a response Seiya leaned in covering
Serenity's lips with hers before turning away and walking out of the room.
Not caring about her half nude form Serenity ran after Seiya poking her head
out the door to find the hall way empty. Walking back into her room she
closed the door and leaned against it. "I love you to...Seiya."
Serenity could no longer fight the tears that assailed her eyes as she covered
her face with her hands dropping to the ground crying. Serenity's emotions
were soon halted when there was another knock at the door.
"Serenity...are you almost ready...it's almost time." The door started
to open causing Serenity to quickly pick herself up off the ground and run
toward the gown. When the door opened she quickly ran her arms along her eyes
to wash away the tears. But it was too late, she had been seen.
"Ooh Serenity you really are a cry baby aren't you?" The woman smiled as
she walked over to Serenity. Her long brown hair left down instead of
putting it into her normal hairstyle. "I should have known you would be so
happy you were moved to tears."
"You have no idea Makoto" Serenity put on a fake smile. She was good at
those. "Could you help me put this on?"
"Sure thing." Serenity held up her arms as Makoto slipped the dress over
Serenity's slender body. Serenity held her hair as Makoto slowly buttoned
up her gown. "You know Serenity, it only gets better from hear on out. Soon
you will be married and you and Endymion will have formed the biggest alliance
the Silver Millennium has ever seen."
Makoto pulled Serenity's hair back as she turned Serenity around. "You look
beautiful, but let's do something with that hair."
Serenity sat blankly, laughing when she had to laugh, smiling when she
had to smile as Makoto when on about whatever as she styled her hair. Her
attentions were drawn elsewhere. Atop her vanity was a mirror that Seiya had
giving her, the first gift she had ever received from the person she loved.
Every since she got it whenever she was upset she would look into it and see
Seiya's face. But not today. Today all she saw were her own tortured eyes.
Of course nobody else seemed to notice how unhappy she had become from the
moment her mother announced her engagement to Prince Endymion.
Serenity herself personally had only ever seen Prince Endymion once. And
that was when she was a little girl. The memory she even has of him was a
rotten one.

Silver Millennium Year - 1424 MC/b
Serenity stood next to her mother as the Earth family stepped out of the light
beam. Serenity had never before seen people from Earth before. All day she
had been sitting and talking to Luna about how "great" it will be when she gets
to learn about Earth.
As a little boy came out from behind his mother, Serenity's nose
immediately scrunched up. Of all things she wanted to see it was not a boy!
Boys never played fair, always yelling about cooties or whatnot.
Queen Serenity moved her daughter closer to the Earth family smiling.
"This is my daughter Serenity." Serenity did her usual routine of first
the smile, then the curtsey then the smile, then the "Hello".
"Why, hello Serenity." A man stood towering over her with dark hair and dark
blue eyes. The man smiled before looking at his wife. The woman kneeled down
and smiled and brought her son forward.
"This is my son Endymion." The woman smiled as Endymion bowed forward but not
saying a word. "What do you say?"
Endymion groaned as he leaned forward taking Serenity's hand in his
own, kissing it. "Pleasure to meet you, Serenity."
"It is nice to meet you." Serenity smiled thinking that it wouldn't
be all that bad. He seemed to be pretty well mannered.
"Serenity why don't you show him around the palace?" Serenity looked up at her
mother and gave her a pleading look.
"But mother me and Ami were gonna..."
"Please Serenity." Queen Serenity turned initiating the end of the
conversation as she began talking to the royal family of Earth.
***
Serenity and Endymion walked through the palace hardly a word spoken
between the two of them, except for Serenity pointing out the different
rooms along the way. "So...what do you do on Earth?"
"I don't want to talk about it..." Endymion walked not really caring about
his surroundings. "Can we just go sit down somewhere, this is pretty boring."
"Sure where do you want to go? The observatory is always fun."
"What's the observatory?"
"The observatory is where we all go to look up at the stars and
other planets and..."
"That is so boring! What do you do here for fun?"
"Well..."
"I thought so. I'll just go occupy my own time some other way."
"But..."
"Bye Odango-atama." Serenity scrunched up her nose as she ran
after him.
"Don't call me that!"
"Oh and what are you gonna do to stop me?"
"I'll hit you!"
"Sure you will..." Endymion began walking again, Serenity yet again
chasing after him. This time she didn't stop, she jumped taking him
to the ground with her. The two began trading blows, ripping cloths
and yelling.
Luna came running in at the sounds of the kids fighting and quickly broke
them up. "You two cut it out now!"
"But he called me names!"
Luna groaned as the two kids got into a shouting match. Ending it with
sending Serenity to her room.

Silver Millennium Year - 1674 MC
"There all done." Serenity looked at herself in the mirror seeing
her hair pulled up into a single bun on top of her head with golden
tresses curled out and falling along her face. Sticking out of the
bun were a golden crescent moon and star that glinted in the light.
"It's beautiful Makoto thank you." Serenity gave her a sincere smile
and glanced at her. "Oh you do look beautiful Makoto. That dress looks
great on you."
Makoto smiled and posed giggling. Makoto wore a green ottoman strapless
gown with a stretch net waste, with a long flirt skirt with a thigh high
slit. From the chest to the waste plus her gloves was see-through allowing
you to see her slender body. The top of the gown decorated in a floral
pattern of rhinestones. The diamond pattern wrapped around her waste and
also decorated the top of her gloves and the bottom of the dress. "Thank you;
as soon as I saw it I knew it was the perfect dress. But your dress far
outshines mine."
Serenity looked down at the white satin gown she wore. It was sleeveless
with a bodice decorated in sequence and pearls. The dress expanded at the
hip with layers of chiffon and sat with a nicely shaped skirt. "Yeah it is
a beautiful dress isn't it?"
"Yeah it's gorgeous. I just hope that my dress when I get married is as
equally beautiful as yours."
"I'm sure it will be."
"Well we better hurry the ceremony should begin in about fifteen
minutes."
"Oh don't worry I don't think they'd start without me."
"You got a point there Sere."
***
Serenity stood in the door to the ceremony as she watched the Princesses
of the 9 planets walk before her their gowns all different but equally as
beautiful. But there was a tenth person in her line. Standing still
waiting to walk down the isle was Seiya. Serenity leaned forward resting
lightly against Seiya. After kissing her shoulder she whispered. "Don't
hate me Seiya..."
"I could never hate you, beloved."
"Promise me you'll never forget me...and you'll visit."
"Count on it."
"I love you, Seiya."
Seiya didn't respond she just smiled as she began walking down the isle
leaving Serenity to walk up to the door hearing the gasps of people as she
showed herself. As she began walking down the isle everybody stood giving her
the feeling of being caged. All these people wanted to see her marry this man.
All but one, only one person besides her didn't want to see this wedding happen.
But they were powerless to stop it.
The wedding went by too slow for Serenity. She thought it would never end.
When the Queen rose their hands up she bound them with a golden thread
announcing they were now wed. What it was like to sit through a ceremony
without giving your own consent to a marriage. Why was it always different
for royalty? Everyone else got to say those two words. Those two words that
could decide it all. Not her she had no choice. She was now married to the
Prince of Earth.
The reception was the biggest ball she had seen of all the ball she had ever
attended. She and Prince Endymion sat at the table at the end of the room with
the bridesmaids and his three best men. Serenity looked to the end of the table
sadly where Seiya sat. Though she knew her mother would not allow it she
always envisioned herself growing old with Seiya at her side. Glancing around
she found Haruka and Micheru leaning into each other talking and patting each
others hands away playfully. Why couldn't she and Seiya be like them? True she
remembered the hardships they went through when they first announced their love
to the court. Queen Serenity didn't like it one bit, but when Haruka and Micheru
threatened to leave she had no choice but to except it. Slowly though everyone
came around and gave them not a second glance.
Serenity stood and walked behind the table and leaned against the wall behind Seiya.
"Hey, will you dance with me?"
"I can't dance with you here. Do you know what people will think?"
"You know what Seiya, I don't care, we can just be friends having fun."
Serenity smiled as she pulled Seiya out of her chair. "Come on we did it all
the time as kids."
"It's different now Sere..." Seiya pulled her hand away and sat back down.
Serenity's eyes started to fill with tears but she quickly blinked them back.
"Why don't you go dance with your husband?"
"I thought you were gonna be different, I thought you wouldn't change.."
Seiya stood up and pulled her to a corner to talk. "I haven't changed...but you
have to realize the feelings that go through me when I hold you. If I were to
hold you now I wouldn't be able to stop myself form kissing you. Wouldn't that
be a great scene? Whenever I look at you I remember that one night we spent
together..." Seiya looked away then looked back. "It is because I love you that
I must act this way. Cause if I touch you I won't be able to control myself."
Seiya turned and walked away disappearing into the crowd.
