Now... on with the next chapter! ;)

Another month passed, and the four Sailor Scouts became the best of friends. It was a lot easier for Serena to fight evil because she had friends that helped her out, weakening the youmas so that she could use her scepter.
The month was February, a month that always made Serena sad, because of Valentine's Day. She always thought back to other Valentine's Days that she had spent with the love of her life, a love that was no longer part of her life.
She knew that there was going to be a ball in the large town hall's ballroom, but she also knew that you had to have a date to get in. Alex and Michelle were going together, and Stacy was going with her long time boyfriend, so Serena was left all alone.
"Hi Serena!" Said a voice behind her. She swiveled her desk chair around to see who it was.
"Robert! Hi, what's up?" She asked her friend.
"Umm, well, I was kinda wondering, if you'd like to go to the Valentine's Ball with me tomorrow night... but just as friends!"
"I'd love to!" Serena said.
"Cool! I'll pick you up at about six thirty. That okay with you?"
"That's fine! I'll see you then."
"Okay, good, bye!"
"Bye."
*Well, at least I'll get to go, even if it isn't with my love. Oh well, Robert is a nice guy, and a good friend. I'm sure I'll have fun.*
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
"What'll I wear?! I've got nothing to wear!" Serena screamed out in frustration. It was six o'clock the next night, and she still had not decided what to wear. "Oh! I know! Good thing Luna isn't around!" She said as she pulled out her disguise pen. "Disguise Pen Power! Make me into a... beautiful princess!"
Lights flashed, and before she knew it, she looked completely different. She gave a sigh of relief when she saw that she looked nothing like Princess Serenity, for she did not want to be Princess Serenity around any other man except for Darien. The only thing similar was that her hair was still done up in meatballs.
Her dress was a shimmery silky blue. Blue and white flowers were woven around her meatballs to match the dress. The dress had a V-neck and sleeves that stopped just above the elbows. White gloves went all the way up to just below her elbows. Her dress stopped just above her ankles, and white high-heels that matched her gloves were on her feet.
Just then she heard her chime. She walked over to the intercom and said, "Hello?"
"Hi, it's Robert. You ready?"
"Yeah, I'll be right down!"
"Okay."
She shut and locked her door, and then headed down the stairs.
When Robert saw her, his eyes got really wide.
"Ser-Serena! You look... you look... you look gorgeous!"
"Why thank you Robert. You're looking very handsome tonight."
"Thank you." He held out his elbow, and she took it. "Ready to go?"
"Yup!" And so they went off to the ball.
