Strength of Serenity-chapter 6 AN: Thanks AGAIN to all the people that read my story. I thanked Squeakers before and now I have to also thank Serenity's Angel In Heaven for being a really great reviewer also. Well, on with the story! A short chapter btw, but I didn't send it in until I had the next one written. ;)

(==============================================================)

Serenity smiled wider than she had ever smiled before when she heard the news. Lita was going to get married! She was so excited she threw her arms around Lita and they shared a huge bear hug. Serenity pulled back to look at her friend and sighed.
"You'll make such a beautiful bride," she said warmly. Lita smiled with gratitude and let out a small laugh.
"I always thought you'd be the one to get married first," Lita said. "But I can't say I mind being the one to start things off!" Serenity giggled at her friend's strange sense of humor. She hugged Lita one more time.
"I'm heading off to bed," she said. "I'm so happy for you. See you in the morning!" Serenity walked down the marble hallway, her mind jumbled with all of the information she had gathered today. It made her feel suddenly afraid, but she thought of what Luna had said and she calmed again. When she reached her door, she was surprised to find Mina sitting on her bed.
"Hey Mina," she said as she shut the door behind her. "What's going on?"
"I just wanted to talk to you is all," the Princess of Venus said as she twirled a piece of her golden hair in her fingers. "So, you're beginning to fall in love, huh?" Serenity sighed, wishing she hadn't been told she would fall in love. She had always hoped it would just...happen.
"That's what they tell me," she said as she plopped down on her bed beside her friend. Mina smiled gently.
"Well, what did YOU feel when you were with him?" she asked.
"I guess...it was kind of weird. It was like being afraid but being completely calm at the same time," Serenity said. "And when he kissed me, it just felt...right." Mina smiled.
"See, you have some kind of feelings for him already," Mina said. "Just because they say you will love him doesn't mean you HAVE to. If you fall in love, its because of just that. The love you have for him. No prophecy can make that happen. I'll see you in the morning, night." And with that, Mina left the room, leaving a very confused princess behind. Mina's right. I won't fall in love because someone said I would. It will happen because I love him. I wonder what I would do without my friends here to help guide me. She changed out of her dress and slipped into her night gown. Endy will be here in the morning...I'm glad. I've missed him terribly already. And with that thought, she fell asleep, dreaming peacefully of her kiss with the Earth prince.
