Earth Bound

Not Too Far Away

Chapter two

Racing along the many corridors, Princess Serenity shouted, "Molly!"  She slowed down and searched her surroundings, "Molly- where are you?"

"Princess Serenity?  What is it?"  Serenity whirled around, "Molly, there you are."  The young maid nodded, "yes your highness.  Is everything alright?"  Glancing behind her, the young princess entered the maid's room, "Yes everything is fine.  But I need to borrow a dress."  "What?  But I don't own a single gown."

The blonde haired girl nodded, "I know.  Remember when we were kids, we used to play dress up.  And we'd switch roles.  Well I want to switch."  "Why on the Moon would you want to do such a thing?"

Serenity held up a book she had been reading earlier in the library, "Because, I want to go to Earth."  Molly stared at the cover, which was a picture of the blue and green planet.  "That picture mocks me.  What do you know, that I don't?"

Giggling Serenity replied, "I'm going to be the Earth princess's maid."  "What!  That is absurd Serenity.  You could be killed for imposing as something lower than your level."  Serenity replied, "but they will never find out.  How could they?  They never come here, and we never go there."

Molly sighed running a weary hand through her thick red hair, "This isn't such a good idea."  Serenity sighed, "Please Molly- Please."  She got down on her knees and began to beg.

Molly gasped, "Serenity on your feet.  I could be fired if someone saw you bowing to me."  The Princess climbed to her feet, a smile playing on her face, "I knew I could count on you!"

Looking at the door, she wondered if she had remembered to shut it properly.  Shaking her head, Molly replied, "Only because you're my friend Serenity.  We could both get into a great deal of trouble, for even thinking of such a thing."  Even as she was speaking, she walked to where she kept all of her dresses hanging from the ceiling.  She pulled one out, "Here you go."

Serenity kissed the red haired girl's cheeks, "Thank you.  You're the best."  "How long do you plan to be gone?"  "Not more than a few Earth weeks.  Not too long.  Just enough time to get a feel of how a life on Earth would feel like."

Molly frowned, "what if you don't want to come back?"  Serenity shook her head, "But I have to.  I'm the Princess of the Moon.  It's my duty as a Princess to take my mother's place."  The young maid sighed, "well just be careful.  Please.  And if you meet any cute servants tell them to come to the Moon.  I'd like to meet an Earthling besides Endymion."

Serenity gave a sour look, "he's so stiff, and noble.  I could never be like that.  When we get married he wants me to act just like the Princesses from Earth.  I guess he's embarrassed by me."

Shaking her head, Molly supplied, "Nah, he's just doesn't like action."  She winked as Serenity quickly slipped out of the room.  "Well I better get dressed."

"Serenity, Endymion has arrived!"  "Oh no.  I'll never get away if he sees me."  Serenity looked around.  Her guardians were turning the corner.  "Serenity!"

The young Princess shook her head, and touched the insignia on her forehead, "Lunar Teleport!"

"Serenity!"  Her guardians raced after her, but before they could get to her she was already gone.

~~~~

She raced through the village as quickly as she could.  A smile spread out on her face, as she passed all the people.  "Serenity come back!"

She shook her head, her pigtail whipping at the air.  "No, I'm going to be free!"  She picked up her skirt, to keep it off the ground as she ran.  Her eyes lit up with life, a grin spread across her beautiful face.

Men and women stared at her in awe, as she raced down the streets, with the castle looming overhead.

"Serenity!"

She was almost completely free, but a hand shot out from the crowd, latching onto her wrist and yanked her back.  She stumbled, and was whirled around to face her capture, "Let me go."  She had expected it to be one of her friends, one of her guardians.  But instead it was a man, a young man in fact.  She looked down at his hand that held her wrist.  "Let me go, please."

The man frowned, "Who are you running from?"  "My friends."  Serenity sighed, that was the half of the truth.

Yanking on her arm, Serenity pleaded, "Let me go.  Please I beg you sire."  She stared into his eyes, begging him to let her go.  "Fine."  He let go and disappeared into the crowd.  Serenity looked around her, "where-"

"Serenity!" 

"Oh no."  She turned from them, and started to run again, pushing her way through the throng of villagers.

Well I'm glad all of you liked my last chapter, and I hope you like this one also.  Sorry they're sort of short, but I want to leave some suspense in the story.  So I think cliffhangers, minor or major are always good.  The chapters will get longer as the story progresses, I promise. 

Any who, thanks to all those who reviewed I really appreciate it.

Kia Minokoe:  Yay!  I love loyal Reviewers. Hehe…

Twiggirl06:  yep that was Hee-man.  I bet he was adorable as a child…*sigh* 

Kylarachan:  sorry bout that.  I guess I missed that when I reread it to find any last mistakes.  I was never good at editing my own work.  Hehe, I'll try to make it easier.

NessaBunny:  I'm glad you liked it.  And I hoped you liked this chapter just as much. :D

FireMoomba:  I'm glad you liked the beginning.  That was pretty much a prologue.  It was mainly just to get you to understand the title of the Story.  This Chapter is where it really begins.  Hope you like it.
