The date was June 29th, 1994 S.M. (Silver Millennium).
It was the day before Princess Serenity's eighth birthday and the Moon castle was full of commotion.
THE MOON
"Your highness are you positive that it is a good idea for the princess to be planning her own celebration?" asked Luna, Queen Serenity's trusted adviser as they walked through the Ballroom inspecting all the decorations for Princess Serenity's Birthday party.
"Of course, Luna. It will be fun and educational for her. She has watched me for years, so she will do just fine." Assured Queen Serenity. Just then little Princess Serenity came running into the Ballroom.
"Momma, Momma!!" Yelled Princess Serenity
"Ah, there you are Serenity. Did you decide on whom you wish to attend your celebration?" The Queen asked her young and energetic daughter.
"Uhhuh, I sure did and you shall never guess who one of them is!" Squealed the giddy princess
"Whom dear, not who." The queen corrected her attomatically, " Hmmm... Let me guess... It wouldn't happen to be young Prince Endymion, would it?" She asked knowing, smiling in amusement.
"You got it!!" Giggled the princess, "I wish Darien to attend my celebration!"
"Well, it may take a little barganing, but I don't think it shall be a problem." Said the queen thoughtfully, "I'll shall go speak to Gaia about it now as I have nothing else that needs my attention." Then she turned and made her way toward the Teleporter room.
THE EARTH
The telleporter deposited Queen Serenity within the transport chamber within the Golden Castle, home of the Earth royal family.
"Welcome, Serenity, it has been a while since you came to visit. To what do we owe this honor?" asked Queen Gaia, queen of Earth, and Queen Serenity's longtime friend.
Serenity smiled and hugged the younger woman, "Well as you must know it is Serenity's birthday-"
"Oh! Yes, that's right she's turning eight tomorrow isn't she?" interrupted Queen Gaia.
"Mhmm... Well she wanted to invite Endymion to her celebration. I came to inquire if he could attend." Finnished Serenity.
"I don't know, we're terribly busy. I don't think we can make it." Gaia said regretfully. Suddenly Prince Endymion burst into the room.
"Please momma, I don't have anything to do! Please?!" begged the prince, "I really want to attend Serena's celebration!"
"Endymion, your father and I are too busy to take you." Gaia stated to her son
"I could have Artemis watch him while he is there. I am positive Artemis won't mind." Spoke up Serenity.
"Well,... I suppose it will be okay, IF you promise nothing will happen to him." Said Gaia rather protectively
"You have my word. Nothing shall happen to him." replied Serenity reassuringly.
"Very well then, Endymion, you may go." said Gaia to the prince.
"YEAH!!" yelled Endymion in joy.
"Calm down and go get ready!" Corrected his mother sternly.
"Yes, Momma!" Endymion yelled as he ran off to prepare for the trip.
After half an hour of trivial talk while the two queens awaited Endymion's return, Queen Serenity and Prince Endymion landed back in the Teleporter room.
"Why don't you go find Serenity? I am positive she's running around here somewhere." Queen Serenity instructed Endymion, with a smile.
"All right, I'm sure I can find Serena." he replied and darted off in route to the gardens.
THE ROYAL MOON GARDENS
The scouts were sitting around the fountain in their favorite meeting place having a little 'chat'.
"Can you guys believe that she invited Prince Endymion from 'Earth!" asked Princess Raishell of Mars disgustedly.
"I know! It's unbelievable!!" Agreed Princess Minisa of Venus, nodding vigurously.
"I just don't understand why she would invite a 'BOY'! They are SOOO GROSS!!" Added Princess Litara of Jupiter, making a face at the thought as if it were a squashed bug on the ground.
"Well, he is one of her favorite people. I mean she's known him since she was 'born'." Spoke up meek and timid Princess Ameara of Mercury.
"I guess you're right Amy, but he's a 'boy'. He'll Ruin everything!" Pouted Mina.
"Oh, how is he going to 'ruin' everything, Mina?" Demanded a very irritated Amy.
"Well, she's going to spend all of her time with him and not us." Mina stated.
"She's right, she will spend all her time with him!" realized Ray.
"Hey, you guys!!" Shouted Serenity as she approached her friends, "Did you here? Darien's coming to my celebration! I can't wait to see him, it's been so long!"
"Yes, we heard. That's great Sere," Said Mina, forcing herself to sound happy while the others forced smiles on there faces.
"What's wrong? You guys don't sound to happy that he's coming." Serenity asked seeing right through their fake smiles. Before they could answer Serenity spotted Endymion at the foot of the staircase leading to the gardens from the Ballroom.
"DARIEN!" yelled Serenity, taking off on a 90 mile-an-hour run towards him.
"Hm?" Endymion looked up at the sound of the familiar voice and smiled, "Serena!!"
When Serenity finally reached him she threw her arms around him and gave him a huge hug knocking them both to the ground.
"I can't believe you're here!! I missed you sooo Much!!" Gushed Serenity, sitting on him.
"Yes, I can't believe it either!" agreed Endymion, nudging her off of him and climbing back to his feet before helping Serenity stand. "Mother almost didn't agree."
The two spent the rest of the day catching up on all the exciting things that have happened since they where together last.
June 30th, 1994 S.M. (Silver Millennium). Serenity's Birthday
SERENITY'S ROOM
Princess Serenity awoke the next day full of excitement.
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it!!" yelled Serenity happily while bouncing on her bed, "It's finally my birthday!!"
Serenity's handmaiden, Molly, came in to get her ready for the celebration, but ended up laughing with the Princess instead.
"Miss, please calm down I have to get you ready for the party." Little Molly whom was only was eight as well begged through her laughter.
"I'm sorry Molly. I'm just soo excited!!" Laughed Serenity as she stopped bouncing and climbed off her bed.
"I understand Miss, but we should pick out your dress and get you ready." Molly offered with a smile, looking through Serenity's closet. "Now, which dress would you like to wear? I know how about this blue one." She suggested holding up a beautiful sky blue sleeveless dress with silver buttons bearing the Royal seal, across the breast line, a silverish, white sash around the waste, a big frilly, layered skirt, and the back out.
"No! I wanna wear my pearl, white one!" Huffed Serenity in a childishly stubborn, and commandingly royal tone.
"Verry well, Miss, if that is the one you want." Molly said as she put the dress back in the closet and pulled out a pearl, white sleeveless dress with gold beads lining the breast line, a gold sash around the waist, a big frilly, layered skirt, the back out, and two puffs to go on her shoulders.
Molly dressed Serenity, then sat her down to do her beautiful, long, golden hair. When she was done it was in two perfect buns on the sides of the top of her head with two long streams of hair flowing from them down her back.
"You look beautiful Miss." complimented Molly, smiling as the little princess preened in front of the mirror.
"Thank you, Molly. Momma said we are going to celebrate my birthday all day!" Gushed Serenity, "Well I should get going. You will be joining us won't you, Molly?"
"I would be honored Miss." replied Molly slightly shocked at the invitation. She had never been invited to an actual party before. Let alone a royal one.
"Great I'll see you later then!" Serenity called as she left her quarters.
THE BALLROOM
The Ballroom was decorated with beautiful streamers and balloons in a rainbow of bright colors. The scouts and Molly were playing pass the rumer, where one person tells the next a secret in there ear and they pass it along, each time they change one thing until it gets back to the first person as something completely different. (A.N. This is a very funny game. Its fun to see how rumors can get soo twisted. ) Serenity and Endymion were out in the hall playing tag while Artimas watched on.
THE HALLWAY
"Tag, you're it!" squealed Serenity as she tagged Endymion on the shoulder, "Now you have to catch me!" She shouted as she dashed down the hall with Endymion on her heels.
"I'm going to get you!" Shouted Endymion, chasing Serenity as fast as he could considering she was much faster than he was, "Gotcha!" He yelled as he grabbed Serenity's dress and pulled her to the ground and started tickling her.
"Okay!... Okay!... I give, I give!!" Squealed Serenity through her shrieks of laughter.
"Good." Started Endymion, releasing her and standing up, "Allow me to help you up Princess." He said in a mock gentlemanly tone.
"Why, thank you my sweet Prince." Serenity replied matching his mocking tone. Just as he reached to take her hand and pull her to her feet, there was a huge explosion coming from the Ballroom.
THE BALLROOM
The South wall of the Ballroom, leading outside to the court yard, exploded so suddenly that it caught everyone in the room off guard and sent several flying through the air crashing into others.
"We're under attack!" Yelled Luna
"Get the children into safe hiding places!" Ordered Queen Serenity
Everyone hid as the attack continued.
"Luna! Where is Serenity, Endymion, and Artimas!?" Questioned the Queen in fear that her little girl was in danger.
"Don't worry your heighness the last I saw them Serenity and Endymion were playing tag in the hall with Artimas watching. Artimas knows what to do in this type of situation. He'll get them out through the passage so they are safe. I'm sure of it." Luna replied ashuringly
"Thank you Luna, I don't know what I would do if I lost Serenity, and Gaia would never forgive me if anything ever happened to Endymion." Queen Serenity stated.
THE HALLWAY
Meanwhile:
"The castle is under attack! You must listen to me and stay calm. Now follow me." Artimas instructed, calmly opening a section of the wall to reveal a secret passage.
"But, what about Momma and the Sailor scouts!?" Asked Serenity as she clung to Endymion in fear.
"Don't worry, I'm sure they're all fine, now follow me." Artimas assured her as he led them into the passage way, "This passage leads to the back of the palace. Go through here and out the back as fast as you can. Run into the woods and hide. I'll be right behind you making sure no one followed us. Now go!" Ordered Artimas, motioning for them to go ahead of him.
The Princess and Prince raced through the long passage with Endymion shouting, "Run Serena, Don't stop!" the entire way. They didn't even stop to catch there breath. Finally they reached the end of the passage, But just as Serenity got out the passage entrance collapsed hitting Endymion and Artimas on the head knocking him unconscious. Serenity was too afraid and too busy running to notice that Endymion wasn't behind her anymore. She was almost to the woods when she looked behind her to see if Endymion was still there. When she did this she didn't see the tree root sticking up out of the ground and she tripped hitting her head on a rock. Her royal golden crescent birth mark faded from her forehead as she lost consciousness.
TO BE CONTINUED... Oh no! What will happen to Serenity and Endymion? What of the Queen and the Sailor Scouts? You'll just have to wait and see. hehe.
