Love's Problems
"WHERE IS SHE!?" ranted a very nervous and angry Rei.
"You don't think she went somewhere....." said Lita.
"What do you mean? Where could she have gone?" asked Mina.
"Well, have you noticed any difference in Serena?" asked Lita.
Princess Jupiter watched the two scouts while they pondered on what was different about Serenity. While they were thinking, Ami suddenly came running towards them saying,"Have you found her yet? Luna and Artemis are coming. They've managed to distract Queen Serenity but we better find her quickly."
"I've got it!" shouted a victorious Mina.
"Huh? What do you have?" asked a bewildered Ami.
She was about to tell her friends the possible answer when Lita clamped a hand over her mouth. "Shh...somebody else is coming!"
The group heard the patter of feet and stood in their positions until two cats appeared around the corner.
"Luna and Artemis, it's only you," said a relieved Rei.
"Queen Serenity won't be worried about her daughter for a while, but we need to find Serena or we'll be in big trouble," said Artemis.
Mina shook off Lita's hand and was about to continue answering Lita's question when Ami had figured out what Mina was about to say, said,"Mina, walls have ears you know.....let's go to the library."
Ami led the way to the book-filled room and made sure that no one would be there to eavesdrop. She locked the door securely and made her way to the table. She sat down with the other scouts while the two cat advisors reclined on their shoulders.
"The answer is....Earth! Serenity has been looking at that planet for a long time," said Mina.
"You're right. Plus, she's always skipped one meal everyday...doesn't that seem odd to you?" asked Lita.
"Hmm...you could be right. But, Serena transporting to Earth? Are you sure this isn't one of her little tricks to make us all tense?" asked Rei.
Ami listened to what her fellow scouts had just said. She looked at Luna and Artemis and asked,"What do you think, Artemis and Luna? Do you think this is a joke or for real?"
"Hmm....it's hard to tell. We know that Serenity can play tricks but then again maybe she did go to Earth. But, what would attract her to that planet? We have much more beautiful things on the moon than Earth....could there be a different reason to why she went?" said Artemis.
"We shouldn't jump to conclusions. For all we know she could be helping someone and doesn't want to tell anyone. I think we need to do some research about Earth and it's residents," said Luna.
The group kept on debating on whether or not Serenity might be on Earth or just hiding in the castle. They came to the conclusion that they would search the entire castle and if they didn't find her, they would start to do some research on Earth.
They split into groups, Ami, Luna and Lita would start at the north end of the kingdom while Mina and Artemis would start from the southern end. Each fervently prayed that Serenity wouldn't be on Earth, because then that would mean a whole lot of trouble on their hands; and that wasn't something they wanted just now.
Back to the Love Birds (A/N: LOL. We all know it's Earth, right?)
Serenity pulled away from the kiss first. She turned her face away and started to have a certain interest in studying a tree. Endymion lifted his hand and grasped Serenity's face lightly and made her turn towards him. He saw the troubled look on her face. He asked,"Serenity, what's wrong?"
"Endymion, you know that, the two of us, meeting each other is strictly forbidden between both of our worlds," said Serenity.
"The only way we could be together would be through secrecy.... but we would be caught," said Endymion.
Serenity thought for a second. She was sure there would be some way they could stay together. Suddenly she remembered something and told Endymion that her sneaking-out plan wasn't working.
She told him how her friends caught on. So between the two, they decided not to meet each other for a while so to lose the suspicions. Even though it was going to be agony to stay apart from each other they knew that if their love was discovered, things could become a lot worse. She stood up to go and headed for the forest but Endymion pulled her in for a quick good- bye kiss. Serenity smiled and said, "I'll see you in a couple of weeks then! Good-bye!" and with a flash of light she was gone.
Endymion shook his head. Why did he have to be the one to be fated to fall in a forbidden love? Life just didn't make sense.
He went inside the palace and thought of the things to keep him busy while he wouldn't be meeting Serenity. He would have to find a lot of things to do, or else he would be mobbed by girls. He inwardly groaned and stepped inside his room, only to find his Generals staring at him intently.
Just by looking at them, Kunzite with his disapproving look, Jedite's and Nephrite's scowling faces, and Zoicite's goofy grin; he knew that he was in hot water. He highly doubted that they were in there for a sleep-over party......
Back to the Moon
Serenity was walking through the palace towards the kitchen because she was starving until she met up with Mina and Artemis. They were eating in the kitchen also, waiting for Ami, Lita, and Luna. They jumped out of their seats and yelled,"Serenity! You're here!"
Serenity tried to look as innocent as possible. She hated lying to her friends. But what was a girl to do? Smiling she sat down and started to eat some of the food on the plate herself.
"Where have you been? We were all worried about you!" said Mina.
"I'm sorry. I was---"Serenity started to say until she was interrupted by Lita.
"In the library? That's not gunna work this time, Serena. You've been somewhere and we want to know. You've been disappearing and something seems a little odd," said Lita.
Serenity started to sweat. She wasn't great at lying, no one had to tell her that.
She glanced at one of her friends to another. Here she was in the middle of a circle of her most trusted friends, and now she couldn't even tell them a secret.
She was about to say more when she heard another voice, "Serenity! You're here!" And Queen Serenity hugged her daughter and led her to the garden; not knowing that she had just saved Serenity from a lot of lying.
The two entered the garden and Queen Serenity sat down on a bench while Serenity knelt in front of her. Serenity faced towards her mother and had her arms in Queen Serenity's lap. She looked up at her mother's face and tried to smile.
"Serenity, I've heard you've been disappearing recently. I won't ask you where you've been going because I trust you and I know you wouldn't disobey me. But I want you to know that I'm always here to talk to and that you shouldn't worry everyone. You should at least tell someone that you're going to be somewhere so that the entire castle isn't in a frenzy to find you," said the queen.
Serenity started to wrap her mother's white dress around her finger. She ran her other hand down the white jewels inbedded in the dress.
"I know, mother. I'm really sorry. I thought no one would notice," said Serenity.
"Not notice? Serenity, I don't think anyone in this kingdom has seen you skip a meal before. I hardly think anyone wouldn't notice," and Queen Serenity laughed.
Serenity tried to steer her mother away from the subject and said, "Mother, I—I went to meet someone...."
Queen Serenity got this silly look on her face and said, "Serenity, is it a man?"
Serenity nodded and started to blush so much, that she looked like she was going to burst.
Queen Serenity laughed and said,"Oh, Serenity, this is wonderful! Do you love this man?"
"Y—yes.." Serenity answered hesitantly.
"Well, if it's a man-problem, I don't think we have a situation here. Serenity, I want to make sure you truly love him and think carefully. I won't tell anyone, because I think you should be the announcer. We'd better go to sleep, Serenity. Let me walk you to your room," Queen Serenity said.
Queen Serenity walked down the halls with her daughter leaning on her. Serenity could barely keep her eyes open. She was so tired. And since they had been outside in the garden, it was a long way to her room.
Servants bowed as they passed, other nobles in the castle made sure to look at them and nod their heads in acknowledgment knowing that the two were busy. They passed the sailor scouts on the way and they knew that Serenity wasn't to be bothered. They said soft good-nights and went to their own rooms. Guards straightened as they passed and young maids stopped to and curtsied.
When the two finally reached Serenity's room, Queen Serenity opened the door and led Serenity inside. Serenity quickly changed and kissed her mother good-night and went to sleep.
Queen Serenity watched her daughter for a while and stood up to go. She closed the door gently behind her. She had already done her nightly ritual and walked to her room.
She sat facing her mirror and brushed her hair. The odd thing was...she had been doing this for twenty minutes. She had this weird feeling that Serenity was hiding something from her. She had met a man that she loved and was happy, So why did she have a weird feeling? 'Probably because I can't face the fact that Serenity is growing up,' and with this thought she slipped inside her bed.
But before she could drift off to sleep, the memory on how she met her husband came into mind.
FLASHBACK
We see a very young Queen Serenity running around. She is currently picking flowers for the table.
Her buns bounced up and down as she ran to and fro to pick every type of flower in the garden. This took quite a while because sometimes she would pick the same flower twice.
She checked her bouquet and looked around the garden. She was sure she had picked every type of flower, until she saw a tall tree with blossoms on it. She laid her colorful flowers down on the floor and started to approach the tree.
She stood at the foot of the tree and looked up and saw how high it was. Little Queen Serenity took her shoes off and adjusted her skirt so it was higher. This would make climbing the tree easier. She grabbed a branch and pulled herself up. She climbed higher and higher until the blossoms were in reaching distance. She picked a couple and was ready to go down when a gust of wind blew her pig-tails to the wind. She garbbed tightly onto the flowers and climbed started to go down when she saw that her bouquet was dancing in the wind. She shouted, "Oh no!" And jumped off the tree.
She started to grab the flowers in the air. By the time the wind had settled down the only flowers she had were the ones in her hand. The blossoms fell from her hands as tears filled her eyes. She plopped onto the floor and started to cry.
"Little princess, why are you crying?" said a boyish voice.
The 'little princess' gasped and looked up. There standing before her was a small boy. He was just a little taller than Serenity and had light blue clothes on and a white cape flew majestically behind him.
"Who are you?" asked the girl.
"My name is Prince Blaze," he sat down next to her and asked the same question again. Serenity told how she worked so hard to collect the flowers but now they were now all gone with the wind. She had stopped crying but sniffled a few times.
"Well, did you have a large bouquet like this?" and Prince Blaze produced an exact replica of Serenity's bouquet.
Serenity's eyes widened in shock. Prince Blaze laughed and said, "I was watching you and you looked so happy that I wanted to make one too. But it's missing one flower...do you mind?"
"Nope," and with a smile Serenity added her blossoms and tied a ribbon around it.
"It's looks very pretty, doesn't it?" asked a smiling Serenity.
"Yes it is," and Prince Blaze gave Serenity a kiss on the cheek.
"You are very pretty when you smile, Serenity," said Prince Blaze.
The two held hands and went inside the castle. A strong friendship was formed and soon turned into love.
FLASHBACK END
Queen Serenity smiled to herself. She now doubted that the weird feeling was even real. She pulled the blankets up to her face and went to sleep.
