The moon palace was in frenzy. Where had their princess gone? Guards,
Generals, and scouts were out searching the moon for any trace of their
missing princess.
Queen Serenity paced in front of her throne with her hands clasped in
front of her.
Princess Ray, Amy, Mina and Lita stood in front of her, awaiting the
Queen's orders.
"I can't believe this is happening!" Queen Serenity stopped and stared
at the scouts, "Are you SURE she didn't tell you she was going anywhere?"
Mina nodded, "I'm sorry but she never mentioned anything."
"Maybe I should have waited before I told her she was engaged." Queen
Serenity went back to pacing, "I knew she wouldn't take it well. For
goodness sakes I never did. But I am positively sure that the Prince
of Earth is the right one for her. If only she knew, if only she met him,
I know she would approve of him. Of course, she wouldn't be in love with
him... yet... but I would allow time. Oh, why did she have to do this to
me?"
The princess's didn't know what to say. They felt bad for their Queen;
she was obviously going through some inner turmoil.
"Maybe if we searched for her ourselves-"
"No. I need you here." The Queen stopped and gave them a weary smile,
"Please stay. I already have my own scouts out looking, I need you to
stay here for me and keep the palace calm. Many of the moon people don't
know of their missing princess and I would like to keep it that way.
Hopefully she shows up soon."
"We'll do as you ask, your Majesty." Ray gave a slight nod of her
head.
Queen Serenity took in a deep breath, "Thank you."
= * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * =
"What do you mean I can't stay here?!" Serenity's mouth fell open. First,
they kidnap her then they say she has to go back! No way!
"I'm sorry, malady, but this place is no place for a Lady." Malachite gave
her an apologetic smile.
"They kidnap me and now you're just going to cut this adventure short! Do
you know how many girls dream of being brought to a distant and
mysterious planet? And here you are trying to ruin it all!"
Prince Endymion stared at her with amusement and curiosity.
Matt and Tails exchanged looks. This was not turning out like they planned
and they were still worried about what Katt was going to say about this
little change in plans.
"Lady Sere, you have to go back. Your parents, I'm sure, will be worried
about you."
Serenity crossed her arms in front of her chest, "PRINCE, do your parents
know where YOU are? Do they know that you're hanging around a couple
of kidnappers?"
Prince Endymion glared.
"I didn't think so." She smiled ruefully, "If you can have some adventures,
I think I'm entitled to at least one. I'll go back, just... not yet."
"Lady, you are a women, you can hardly do anything the prince himself can do.
A women will be open to more dangers."
"Can't we just give her to Katt? That way we don't have to worry about
her." Matt volunteered.
Prince Endymion and Malachite glared.
"Or maybe not." Matt stepped back.
"I'm not going with anyone." Serenity stepped up to the Prince, "I belong to
no one and since I'm not from this planet you have no authority concerning
me."
"Ah... malady, I hate to burst your bubble but you came to this planet
without a passport. You can be locked up for that." Malachite lifted a
finger.
"I was kidnapped!" Serenity stamped her foot in frustration. Didn't they
know how she felt?!
Prince Endymion shook his head and turned to get his horse, "You are
going back, Lady Sere. Malachite and I will take you to the Portal
ourselves."
Serenity watched him and held her ground. She wasn't about to go anywhere
with that selfish jerk! Silently she wondered if the prince she was engaged
to was just as much as a jerk as he was.
"I'm sorry this ever happened, malady." He glared at the two thieves
behind Serenity before smiling kindly at the moon maiden, "If there is
anything we can do to repay you-"
"Let me stay here!"
"Anything but that."
Serenity frowned, "You don't have to help me. I can take care of myself."
"You want us to leave you in the hands of these thieves?"
Serenity glanced back at the two dirty men then looked at her feet, "No."
Prince Endymion came back riding his horse and stopped next to LADY Sere.
"Matt, Tails, when I get back I want Katt here." He leaned down and held a
hand out to Serenity. Serenity stared at his hand and lifted an eyebrow.
"Lady, please." His voice softened.
Serenity sighed and took his hand. He pulled her up in front of him, put
both arms on either side of her, and held the rains. She felt very feminine
and small. Why did he have to treat her like a girl?
Malachite got on his own horse and trotted next to the Prince.
"It's three hours to the Portal from here, you're highness, maybe we should
stop at the palace first."
Prince Endymion shook his head, "I don't think Father would... I don't think
it would go over well..."
Malachite nodded, "You're right."
"Why would it bother him?" Serenity asked out of curiosity.
Malachite smiled, "Prince Endymion is engaged. If he brought a Lady such
as yourself back to the Palace... well, let's just say it wouldn't set
right with the court."
It seems I'm not the only one trapped by their parents... Serenity thought
to her self as they passed through some trees. The woods were thin, letting
the sun come through and light up the forest. It was strange that she
found herself riding with two strange men on a strange planet. Kidnapped.
All because she was kidnapped. She shook her head in amazement.
After a couple hours, Serenity's back started to get stiff from sitting
strait up. She didn't trust herself to lean against the Prince's back but
she was too tired, she decided she didn't care and leaned back. She closed
her eyes and promptly fell asleep.
Around super time, the Princess finally woke up by the sound of a large
crowd talking and laughing. She opened her eyes and stared around
her surrounding. There were people everywhere shopping, talking and
children giggling and running around their parents.
Just past the small village, she could see a large building where she had
no doubt that was where the Portal resided.
The prince stopped his horse in front of a small place where there were
tables and chairs.
"We better eat before we head back." She heard the Prince say before dismounting. He reached up and gripped her sides, lifting her down from
the horse.
Villagers sat at the tables eating stake, potatoes or soup. General
Malachite led her to a table while the Prince went over to a maiden.
"The prince is ordering."
"Ordering what?" Serenity sat down and looked around with curiosity.
"Food. Aren't you hungry?"
"Uh?" Serenity looked away from a chubby old man gulping down his stake
like water, "Sure... Yes, what time is it?"
"Near five hours 'till sunset, malady."
"Are there always people eating outside?"
"It's a historical village. People come here, usually on the weekends, to
visit it with their children."
"Historical?"
"Yes, this is one of the first villages in these parts and there were a lot
of people who died here trying to defend it from the mountain men."
Malachite stopped when the Prince came and sat down across from them,
"I ordered stake, I'm starved."
Malachite nodded.
"So..." Serenity went on carefully, "when are you taking me back?"
"Tonight." Prince Endymion gave her an odd look.
"Tonight? But I just got here! Couldn't I stay just one more day?"
The prince shook his head, "Sorry, malady, but we can't take you with us
where we're going."
Serenity frowned. If they thought, she was going home just like that!
She mentally snapped her fingers. Then they were wrong!
"Fine." She added grudgingly, "I'll do what you say." In another lifetime!
"Good." Prince Endymion smiled at the maiden who came with their plates.
Dinner went by all too fast for Serenity and she even ate slowly on purpose
but in the end Prince Endymion took her plate away, saying she had enough.
Serenity and Prince Endymion waited near the Portal, waiting for Malachite
to come back with the pass to go through.
Serenity looked around the crowded area with a keen eye. She had to get
away from these two. Malachite came back with the ticket, "When you get on
the Moon once again, malady, there will be a carriage waiting for you, they
will take you home."
"Thank you, General." Serenity gave him a sugar sweet smile.
"It was a pleasure meeting you, Lady Sere." The Prince kissed her hand with
a smiled.
Serenity nodded and walked up to the line.
The two men stood there watching her.
Serenity glanced back at them with worry. Weren't they going to leave?
"I'll be fine." She finally addressed them, "If you don't start back soon
you won't get back until after dark."
"You sure you will go through the Portal?" Prince Endymion gave her an
anxious look.
"Of course I will! You are right, my parents are probably worried sick
about me! You know, when I get back I'll have to convince my parents that
we need to visit your planet. Now that I've seen it I won't be able to stay
away for long."
Malachite smiled, "We thank you, malady. Prince Darien and I do need to
get back."
Darien? Serenity decided she had enough on her mind so she dismissed it,
"Good. Travel safely and thank you for your help."
Prince Endymion was still looking at her with disbelief.
"Darien." Malachite urged, "We must get back. The King and Queen will not
like you coming in late again."
That got him, "Alright. Are you sure, Lady Sere?"
Serenity quickly nodded.
Prince Endymion nodded once before turning and mounting his horse.
Malachite followed suit and soon both were trotting away.
Serenity turned back to the line only to find that two more people remained
in front of her. As soon as the two horse riders were out of sight, she
stepped out of line and tucked her ticket into her dress. Maybe she could
use the ticket later but for now she was going to look around a bit.
Serenity walked away from the Portal and back to the small village. There
she took in the sights and smells of the small place. What would it be like
to live in such a small pathetic village? She used pathetic in a good way.
She had always lived in a palace and had hardly ever went out to visit the
towns people. Now she wished she had. She only remembered twice going out
and seeing the people on the moon. The towns on the moon were much more
clean and fresh, while here there was a crowded excitement wherever she
stepped.
"Flower, malady?"
Serenity stepped back startled at the old women's presence, "Oh... ah...
no thank you."
The women smiled and went away.
And that's when Serenity remembered something very important. She didn't
have any money.
= * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * =
"What do you mean the prince took her?"
"That's what I mean. He took her back to the Moon."
"Get her back!"
"What?!"
"We can't do that!"
"Yes you can and you will if you want to live."
Silence.
"Now get out of here! I don't want to see your face until I see hers with
you."
