Chapter 3

Author:~Belle~

Serena woke up from her struggled slumber and immediately knew how to right the wrong she had stumbled upon. She quickly got out of bed, instantly feeling the cold hard floor upon her feet. She quickly brushed the feeling aside; she was in too much of a hurry to waste time. Serena fumbled about the room, gathering things that she might need for her trip. She stepped into Serenity's impressive wardrobe and was both amazed and disappointed. It seemed everything Serenity owned consisted of gowns, most of them snowy white in color and intricate in design. Way too formal. She searched through them frantically, pawing for something slightly stirring to a man's eye. How did anyone expect Serena to impress Darien with the bland looking dresses she had at her disposal? She could only hope that this Darien wouldn't need any dress to impress him, that he would look into her eyes and see the love inside. The love that Darien so clearly saw with one look at her.

'Well, here goes,' she thought as she grabbed a traveling case, haphazardly slapped articles of clothing into it, and walked toward the balcony. It was still quite early and the sun had not completely come out. She knew that if she came out of the palace's, main entrance, she would be inquired about her suitcase and that wouldn't be a good experience. She was careful not make a sound to not waken any of the sleeping guards, or even worse, her mother, whose room was 'conveniently' across from hers. Serena was quite good at being stealthy, considering she was Sailor Moon and had to continuously sneak out of her house at un-godly hours. Yes, if there was anything Serena was good at, it was sneaking out of her house without making a single sound. She gently threw her case over the balcony's edge, careful that it only made a soft 'thud' and began her descent to the garden grounds below.

From the corner of the palace, Lita watched her beloved princess slyly put one leg over the balcony edge and start climbing down. She held back a giggle as she heard Serenity utter a small curse as she scraped her knee on one of the thorn rose bushes below her balcony. Suits her well for having pleaded with her mother to place the rare delicacies right under her balcony. She saw her princess brush herself off and head in the direction of the palaces gates. The palace gates were the only barrier between the kingdom and the outside world.

'What is Serenity up to? I wonder where she thinks she is going?' she thought. She stepped out of the shadows and cleared her throat in a way that made her presence known. Serena turned around startled and said another small curse at her bad luck. Of all days Lita decides to wander around the palace it had to be this day! Serena stared at Lita, steadying her beating heart.' Things never change,' she thought. Lita was wearing her brown hair back in a ponytail, she wore the pink earrings that Serena fondly remembered giving Lita, in both lifetimes. She affectionately remembered how Lita was both times overjoyed by the simple gift, and how she had worn them ever since. Lita was dressed in her ordinary sailor suit, which she often reminded Serena made her feel strong and powerful. Lita repeatedly refused to wear a gown of ANY sort unless her life depended on it. Serena very much doubted she would wear one even in that occasion.

"And where are you headed to in such late hours.....Princess?" she inquired.

" Oh Lita, you scared me! I just came down to the gardens for a .....walk. Yes! I thought it was a beautiful morning for a walk. I woke up and had a sudden urge to stroll around and smell the flowers. Springtime is almost over and I wanted to see the flowers in full bloom. I didn't want to get here late when it is crowded with visitors and nobles. You understand," Serena smiled innocently.

" A walk? Well, then I suppose you wouldn't mind if I joined you in such a beautiful occasion, right? After all, it's been quite a while since you and I made pleasant conversation. What with all the planning for your betrothal and such," Lita pursued cautiously.

Serena looked around awkwardly, hoping that God was on her side and would send some form of escape. "Don't you have any duties to perform at the moment? After all, I wouldn't want to be a bother. Don't worry about it either, I know that being a Sailor Scout is a huge responsibility."

Lita eyed her defiantly before speaking. "Well, My number one concern is to protect you, Serenity. Who knows what unspeakably dangers might be out there just looking for an innocent princess to hurt. Besides, I'm always up for a good walk."

Serena's hopes began to fall and her eyes began to be filled with unshed tears at the thought of not being able to see Darien. Her eyes pleaded with Lita to let her go. "Lita please. I need to go. I have to go. Something much greater than you can imagine is guiding me away from this kingdom. Something you will one day understand. But until then I implore you to have some pity on your princess who knows not love yet. On your princess who is guided by her heart and soul to..... Earth," she cried.

Lita felt her heart shatter at her princess's obvious distress. She had never seen Serenity so distraught over anything, and this was the first time that Serenity did not trust her enough to tell her what the matter was. Serenity had been acting distant lately, and seemed to hate more, day after day, her royalty. She would constantly disobey her mother, and she would catch Serenity watching the village kids with a sense of longing in her eyes. Longing for what? Lita would never understand. For Lita would never be as trapped as Serenity felt... "Sere, are you okay? Lately you haven't....well, you haven't been yourself. Why must you go to Earth? Your heart cannot guide you there, for you know it is forbidden. It is forbidden to lay foot on Earth. The Queen would strongly disapprove of this," Lita reprimanded.

Serena could only whisper a single word before she ran toward the one thing that made her want to wake up every morning. "Love."

She ran, ran as if a mad dog were on the loose and was searching for her head, ran from the one person that could stop her from feeling complete again. She ran, and ran, leaving behind a stunned Lita. She screamed two words that pierced the stillness and the silence of the dawn. "Moon Teleport!!" And the girl who moments before stood was no long there. All that was left behind were tears of sorrow dangling in the air, shed from her sapphire blue eyes.
