Queen Serenity watched her daughter ,who was giggling. "Serenity? We must discuss this matter! It is not optional. You know, just as well as I do, I would not force this upon you unless it was necesary."
Sighing, the Princess agreed, "Yes, I do understand. It's just, I've never met him, and I can't help thinking you're only doing this to punish me and ship me off to that God forsaken planet! I've heard it's barren and plain...I don't want to go!"
Frowning, the Queen swept her daughter into a big hug, "Never think that I don't want you here, sweeting. We really need this alliance. Since your father was killed, threats of attacks have becoming more and more, until now, I fear we are on the very brink of a war.
Serenity broke out of her mother's hug. "I still don't want to go. You cannot force me!"
The Queen let out a deep sigh and rubbed her temples with her eyes closed. "Serenity, will you PLEASE stop? You are giving me a migrane. What you WANT to do has NO matter in this. You ARE going. You WILL be nice. And you WILL get along with the earth people and especially the ROYALS!"
Serenity pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows. Her facial expression simply stated "that's what you think..."
The Queen knew exactly what that expression meant, and what the conciquences meant with it. "Go pack your things now. Do not make me pack your clothes for you. We leave at noon. If I must, I WILL dress you. Remember last time..." she warned with a smile on her face.
Serenity could have screamed. She remembered perfectly what had happened when her mother told her to go change from her pants and shirt into a gown because the Vesuvian Prince was coming.
~Flashback~
"But, Muh-THER, he is so annoying. He wants to follow me everywhere! Why must I be nice to him? WHHHHYYYY? I don't want to look nice. Maybe if I don't look pretty and smell really bad, he'll leave me alone!" Serenity told her mother hopefully. Telling her mother anything like this was a big mistake, too bad Serenity didn't realize this.
"Serenity, I will not have you acting like some insolent child. You will change into a proper gown, or I will make you." The Queen told her as she pointed to Serenity's wardrobe.
Serenity saw what her mother was pointing at and simply stated, "No."
"I'm warning you, missy..."
"No, forget it."
The Queen roughly grabbed Serenity's arm and yanked her over to the wardrobe. "One more chance, Serenity, ONE more chance. You pick out the gown and put it on, and I won't mention this again. BUT-- If you don't pick a gown. I will dress you myself."
*God help me, I will!*
Raising her eyebrows challengingly, Serenity laughed. "You're kidding right?"
"Does it look like I'm kidding?"
"..." No answer.
"That's what I thought." And she grabbed Serenity's white gown out of the wardrobe. Before Serenity could do anyting, the Queen grabbed Serenity's shirt and yanked it off, buttons and all. All Serenity did was scream and look in horror at her mother.
"Take the pants off, or so help me, I will."
Obediently, Serenity took off her pants, leaving her clad in her underclothes, with a bright red face.
The Queen grinned at her daughter's embarrassment and tossed her the gown. "I take it, you can put that on by yourself." she said with sarcasm.
~End of Flashback~
"Fine." Serenity stated as she felt her cheeks heat and ran out of her mother's chambers and down the hall. After silently slipping into her bedroom and slamming the door behind her in rage, she leaned against the door. *What have I gotten myself into this time?* "Might as well begin packing..." she muttered as she grabbed a big luggage case from underneath her big cannopy bed. She struggled a little pulling it onto the bed. *Why did they make this out of silver! Yeesh! What's it going to weight once it actually has crap in it?!* Meloncholily, she packed her clothes, but once she had all the clothes and stuff she thought she'd need in it, the lid wouldn't shut. So, she sat on the lid. At first that wouldn't shut it. So she kind-of jumped down on it, but half forgot that it was silver and hard, so she landed with a thud then slid off of it and onto the white marble floor. "Oof!" *Yeesh! What in the world were they thinking putting marble floor by the bed...God forbid someone fall out of it at night." She almost forgot about where she was going, but then she rememebered. Her face was immediately down cast. *Why me?!*
Serenity didn't know how long she had sat there. Not noticing the time that was flying by. The noon bell rang. *Oh shit! Oops, glad mom's not here, she'd kill me for that! But, crap, I didn't change into another gown!* Running over to her white wardrobe, she looked for a gown. *UGH! OF course, I get stuck with the gown that I hate!*
This particular gown was the type that most girl's her age liked to wear, but if you were Serenity, you would't like it it either. It was long, to her ankles. The waist was high. (empire style) and it only had two little straps and showed quite a bit of cleavage. It wouldn't have been so bad if Serenity wasn't known to klutz out. All she needed was THIS gown around some arrogant Prince.
*Great, just great. I'm going to klutz out and he's going to be laughing at me while he's staring down my shirt.* Serenity thought as she looked into the gilde mirror hanging on the wall. Even she had to admit she looked nice, but she truly hoped she didn't fall and flash the entire Earthian court. Her long golden blonde hiar fell straight to the back of her knees and ended with little curls. *I'm still not going!*
KNOCK KNOCK
"You may enter."
Four girls entered the room. Ami, the intelligent Princess of Mercury, had short blue hair and was wearing a longsleeved pale blue gown that ended just above the tops of her feet.Rei, the fiesty Princess of Mars, had mid-back length black hair and was wearing a long sleeved dark rose colored gown that ended just above the tops of her feet. Lita, the strong Jupitarian Princess, had brown hair that she always kept in a ponytail or a bun. No one was quite sure how long her hair was. And she was wearing a gown similar to Serenity's, except Lira's was dark green. And, the fourth girl, Mina, the "love" Princess of Venus, had long blonde hair to the bottom of her back, and she was wearing a sleeveless (like a tubetop dress) gown that was a mellow orange color.
Each of the girls were wearing a silver cloak with a gold cresent moon clasp in the front. This cloak notified other people who they were. They were Princess Serenity's Gaurdians, although when Serenity had the crystal she needed no one's help protecting herself.
Ami, who was always the rational one, spoke up, "Sere, we are here to escort you down to the docking bay. We are already running behind schedule. Your mother is awaiting your arrival just outside the portal on Earth."
Serenity sighed. The girls took this as a sign that she was going to submit and go with them silently and without a fight. How very wrong they were... "Let me put on my cloak." She pulled on her silver cloak and clasped the front of it. Turning to her friends, she looked at the ground. Slowly and quietly, she told them, "You know, girls, my mother is forcing me to--" She paused, looked up, glared at them, and started yelling. Each yell grew louder until the girls each thought they were going to pass out. "--FORCING ME TO MARRY SOME IDIOT I'VE NEVER EVEN MET!! YOU BETTER THINK TWICE IF YOU THINK I AM GOING, BECAUSE I ASSURE YOU I AM NOT GOING!" She emphasized the last phrase quite emphatically, because when she was emphasizing it, the glass pane in the window in Serenity's room shattered, which wasn't too suprising. Whenever Serenity got really mad or upset, weird things would happen. Glass shattering was the normal thing that usually happened, but once, she melted a hole in the glass window she was staring at. No one ever mentioned it being odd.
Defiance was clearly written across the beautiful girl's face. Her beautiful crystal blue eyes distinctly showed pristine fury and rage. She was quite awe-inspiring when she looked like this.
"C'mon, Sere, don't make a scene. We have to escort you down." Rei tried to explain as Lita picked up the luggage case off the bed.
"I'm NOT going ,and you CAN'T make me." Serenity crossed her arms like a child would when she was being scolded.
The three girls ,besides Amy, raised their eyesbrows in reply to Serenity's challenged. They exchanged somewhat evil grins. Befre Princess Serenity could do anything, Rei and Mina each grabbed one of her arms. Amy didn't know what to do, so she just stood there and watched her Princess flail her arms around in protest. Lita laughed.
Serenity struggled the whole way to the docking bay. "LET GO OF ME RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" But, everyone just ignored her. Amy occasionally prodded Serenity in the back by poking her while Rei and Mina dragged her down the last set of stairs.
A purple and silver vortex portal was now about a foot in front of them. Lita hurled the luggage case through the portal and turned to the other four girls. Two of the girls were trying to restrain their Princess from retreating back into her castle. Rolling her eyes at their attempt, Lita walked over and picked up the struggling girl. After ignoring her protests, Lita slung her over her shoulder.
"Lita, you put me down right this minute. I demand it." Serenity yelled. And usually whenever she made a demand, the girls had to follow it, but this time, Serenity's mother was pulling rank over Serenity.
"Oh, Sere, do shut up. I'll put you down soon enough. As soon as we are on earth and the portal is closed. My orders are from the Queen, so what you demand and wish do not matter at this minute, my Princess." Lita informed her.
While the other girls giggled at Serenity's distraught facial expression, Lira walked throught the portal. The other girls followed.
Serenity sqeezed her eyes shut. *I don't want to see this God forsaken planet. I wish I was home in my own comfortable bed sleeping...I can't believe this is really happening to me!*
As the Amy, the last girl to walk through the portal, had walked through, the portal closed. The portal to the moon could only be summoned by one person by will, the Queen. The Princess could summon the portal only with her mother's permission.
Serenity's mood changed from depression to anger. "I demand you put me down." Although her eyes were still shut, she still made the demand.
With a grunt of annoyance, Lita sat her down on her feet.
As soon as Serenity's feet hit the ground, the world started spinning. She was not used to this amount of gravity. When she opened her eyes, she was almost blinded. Shielding her eyes with her hand, she tried to look around. If it was not for the boiling temperature of the heat, she would have stayed and surveyed the area, but it was too hot and there was a meeting for her to attend. Much to Serenity's disgust, the surrounding landscape was nothing like it was told to be. Thick, luscious greenery surrounded an impressive stone castle in front of them.
Lita poked Serenity in the back. "Come along, Princess. We must be going along."
Serenity rolled her eyes and began to climb the flight of stairs in front of her. Her gaurdians followed close behind her. *One more step to go!Phew!Why would anyone want to live with this heat?! It's horrible!* She wiped the persperation off her forhead as she went to take the last step up into the room where she could hear her mother talking..laughing even.
Of course, when Serenity took her concentration off of walking, she had a klutz attack and tripped. She closed he eyes as she waited in anticipation of the impact of the cold marble floor. However, the impact never came. She felt heat rush to her cheeks as she realized someone had their arms, muscular arms at that, wrapped around her tiny waist. Slowly she opened her eyes, and found herself staring into mysterious and beautiful dark blue sapphire eyes. Serenity thought she could drown herself in those eyes.
While Serenity was captivated by the man's eyes, his eyes roved over her face.
*Beautiful, almost like an angel...However, she can be no different from the rest...Yet, her presence seems innocent...defiantely different than the others...* Finally, his eyes caught sight of the gold cresent moon on her forhead. *So, this is the Moon Princess...Definately beautiful, but will she have the same opinion of me as every OTHER princess? We'll see...I'll have some fun with this one, I will, if she is as obstinate and strong willed as they say she is, but that must be all talk. This girl seems too angelic to be opinionated and intelligent...We'll see, We'll see...*
His eyes twinkled with repressed laughter. *Let the games begin!*
Serenity scowled, she resented being laughed at. When she struggled out of the man's embrace, she felt the entire room stare at her. A crimson blush spread across her face. The silence was broken by a mocking laugh. *If that is who I think it is, he will pay.*
