The real story of Sailor Moon and friends
Chapter 1: The Past
Princess Sarah was the daughter of King Apollo; he was the king of the Sun Kingdom. The Sun Kingdom being the most powerful of all the planets, including the moon.
Princess Sarah was the most beautiful girl in the universe. She had hazel eyes and chocolate brown hair, which shined gloriously in the sun's rays. With fair skin and a sprinkle of freckles across her nose, she was the favourite among men and princes from everywhere desired her hand in marriage. Princes Sarah wasn't interested. Until…
"WHAT!!" Princess Sarah screamed "I HAVE TO BE MARRIED TO BE QUEEN!"
" Darling, I'm old and it's time for you to take over. The law clearly states you have to be married to take the throne. Besides there are many princes out there for you to marry." King Apollo said.
" But…but they're all pigs!"
" What about I choose for you at the ball."
" THAT'S MY BIRTHDAY BALL"
" It will be a good opportunity. All the illegible princes will be there"
" I'm not marrying!" screamedSarah as she stormed out.
" Really?" Raye gushed " Darien will be at Sarah's ball?"
" Yes,according to the list " said Princess Amy as she scanned her invitation" Why are you so interested in him?"
"HE'S ONLY THE HOTTEST GUY IN THE UNIVERSE!!" said Princess Lita sarcastically.
"You know that PrincessSarah hasn't even seen him before?" Said Princess Mina
" MY GOD" Lita and Raye screamed
"Whatever" Amy said, clearly not interested in Prince Darien " I need to find adress for the ball"
" Me too" said the girls in unison
"Your Majesty" A man said as he bowed before Prince Darien " A invitation to a ball from the Sun Kingdom"
" Thank you" said Darien as the man handed the invitation to him.
He scanned the letter. Hmm, Princess Sarah's ball. All my knights say she's quite a beauty, it wouldn't hurt to go and have a look, thought Darien. I better hurry it's in two days.
Two days later ...
" Your Highness, your ball gown" said a maid entering Princess Sarah's chamber
" Thank you, leave it on my bed" calledSarah from her bathroom
Princess Sarah came out of the bathroom witha lilac towel wrapped tightly around her slender body.
" What a pretty gown " she gasped as she picked the gown from her four poster bed. She quickly dried her hair and put on the ballroom dress. Princess Sarah didn't tie her hair up but instead let it flow naturally, whiched went up to her elbow,and placed her diamond tiara on top.
" Well, i guess is this last ball i'll have which i'm allowed todancewith guys" sighed Sarahas she looked at herself in her full length mirror "hmm, there's something missing ... i know!" She opened her vanity desk's top drawer. It revealed a black velvet lined drawer interior with glittering jewel necklaces.
"hmm which one should i wear"Sarah wondered out aloud.
She picked a simple necklace which had a silver chain and a heart pendant shaped with diamonds.
" This will do nicely" As Princess Sarah placed it around her neck
" Your Majesty!"a maid burst into her room " The ball starts in 5 minutes!!"
"Oh my god" Sarah checked the clock on her wall "I gotta dash"
Princess Sarah bolted out the door in a flurry of satin
"wow" said Mina softly. Completely awestruck.
"Yeah, i know it's massive"said Raye" who would ever think the Sun Kingdom had such a big ballroom"
" Didn't you know that it's the biggest ballroom in the Solar system?" Amy said as she brought a small book out of her purse and flipped to a page."Here" she said turning the book around to face them.
The ballroom in the Sun kingdom's royal palace is the largest in the Solar System. With an elegant balcony, white marble floor and large windows draped with pure white silk curtins. It is held for many important balls....
" What are you doing with bookin your purse anyway" voice said behind Amy. Out of instinct she swung around and came face to face with Princess Serenity.
"For some backround reading" Amy said quietly,barely a whisper. Amy and the other princesses didn't really likeSerenity because she was always boasting about her higher rank than theirs. Michiru, Haruka and Setsunahad a little control of Serenity, whenever Serenity was near the princesses, they would go near them so that any trouble caused by Serenity would be right underMichiru, Haruka and Setsuna's noses.Sarah was the only one Serenity respected, though with a grudge. She daren't boast in front of her,Sarah was much more powerful.
" What are you doing here" Lita said ,who had alot more courage than the others" why would you be here, you hate Sarah"
"That's my business" Serenity coldly replied "And if i were you, i would keep my manners in front of my superiors"
Lita snorted in disgust and motioned to Mina, Amy and Raye to follow her, away from Serenity.
"She makes me sick" said Raye
"Yeah , well itcan't be helped. But i wonder why she's here" said Mina
" Look at the bight side, the bigger the ballroom the more guys come, so we'll have no problem finding a hunk" Lita said happily" other than Darien of course"
"LITA" the others said in unison
"what?"
Prince Darien stepped into the ballroom. Man, this is huge he thought i wonder where the Princess is. He looked around the ballroom, it was filled with loyalty. All the princes were wearing tuxedos and the princesses were wearing ballroom dresses of light colours. She's not here yet he thought, he had been told that she dresses vibrant, bold colours which maked her look very "sexy" according to his friends. Darien chuckled to himself as he saw Serenity looking around for some one, he knew she was looking for him. Like a lot of girls, she had a "liking" for him. Join the queue, my mother has already made plans for me "socialise" with girls. he remembered his mother's words "You need to find a wife ,Darien" she said in a stern voice "To become King". Darien sighed he pulled back his white gloves to look at his watch. 8:59. one more minute.
The heavy mahogany double doors swung open, at the top of the white marble staircase. All chatting stopped instantly, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
A man came out of the doors, he showed signs of aging. The whole ballroom bowed down to him.
" Ladies and Gentlemen," he begun "This ball held tonight is not only my daughter's birthday ball but a ball in which i will be stepping down as king and letting my daughter to take the crown" A collective gasp came from the crowd, Apollo ignored this and continued" there is however a catch to becoming Queen for her. The law states that she must marry." At this statement,all the Princes' ears perked up, including Darien's."that is why she shall be dancing with all the bachelors that wish to marry her and i will see to that man if i find him worthy of her hand in marriage.
Just then, someone walked behind him.
"May i introduce my daughter, Princess Sarah" everyone bowed...almost everyone. Most of the princesstood there,dazed.
Prince Darien had never seen such a beautiful lady in his life. His friends were right, she did dress differently. Sarah was wearing a deep red, sleveless gown. The top half of the dress clung to her torso, revealing her wonderful curves. At her hip, it spread out and became buffy. Mary wasn't wearing any gloves like the rest of the ballroom but wore silver bracelets on each wrist. She looked like a goddess with her tiara and necklace glittering in the light of the crystal chandeliers.
She slowly made her way down the staircase, lifting her gown up as she went. The men goggled at her legs. Darien had never seen better legs in his life, they were so sexy.
MY GOD he nearly hit himself for being the complete opposite of the gentleman that he was taught to be. He never felt such a wild attraction to her as he did for other women.
"She's gorgeous" whispered Mina
"Ya, look at the attention she's getting" replied Raye
"Hey, look at Darien" Lita whispered to them and tipped her head in his direction.
They followed the direction and gasped out aloud.
" He's head over heels for her"Amy whispered excitedly" i've never seen him look at some one like that"
" GUYS, LOOK AT THE "SUPERIOR" ONE" Mina whispered little too loudly.
The girls ripped their gaze from Darien and Sarah, and looked at Serenity.
"looks like you girls have competition" Amy said laughing" no wonder she was here"
Serenity was red in the face seething with anger.
"BITCH" her head screamed
PrincessSarah sighed to herself as she saw the men at the bottom of the staircase, waiting for her
Don't worry Sarah, all you have to do is not fall in love and you won't have to marry. Dad can want you to marry but he can't force you to marry.her conscience told her
Apollo watched from the top of the stairs She's going to marry he thought eyeing the men waiting for her. There's got to be a perfect match some where there
Stay coolSarah, there aren't any perfect matches here, they're not even handsome Sarah sighed with relief as she scanned the crowd of men, none of them were attracti..uh oh, SHIT
BINGO thought Apollo when he spottd a man with jet black hair and dazzling blue eyes He's bound to appeal Mary
NOOO,Sarah don't lose control of your feelings. OMFG HE'S F'''ING STARING AT YOU . WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T LOOK AT HIM. Her conscience screamed at her. If you look at him, your father will know you like him. DON'T LOOK, NO, NO, NO DON'T DO IT. BAD GIRL. DON'T LOOK...Sarah looked at him....sigh
BULLS EYE thought Apollo I didn't even have to look for the right guy, they were made for each othe...what the?
He was interrupted in his thoughts by a loud sound of breaking glass. Everyone whipped around and saw Serenity holding the stem of a wine glass. She had unknowingly broke it out of anger
"looks like Serenity is havin a bit of trouble" giggled Raye.
Apparently Princess Serenity had just noticed there was red wine all over her pale purple gloves. She let out an exapserated sigh and dashed into the restrooms.
" No wonder, look at Darien and Sarah" said Amy
Mary and Darien weren't paying any attention to Serenity's "little" accident. Sarah had reached the bottom of the stairs and Darien was taking her hand in his.
"May i have this dance?" Darien politely asked. He gazed into her soft, innocent eyes.
Don't say yes Sarah's conscience said Don't say yes
" sure" Sarah said... i don't like you
Prince Darien led Sarah into the centre of the ballroom, where people began to gather around in a circle, watching the couple.
The begining of a slow romantic song was heard.
She's a great dancer Darien thought. He held her hand in his as she flung herself outwards and then spininto his arms. She was so close to Darien that she could his breathing. Darien felt protective of her she was innocent, beautiful and everything Darien wanted a wife to be. He never wanted to let Sarah out of his arms.
"Amy, look everyone's starting to dancing" Mina said
"Let's get some hunks to dance with us" Lita giggled as she grabbed Mina and Amy's hands
Raye was left standing by herself, she felt no wish to dance with any "hunk" tonight
"you look a bit lonely" A man with shoulder length hair said "would you like to dance"
"oh...well...i ..er.."
"come on"
"ok" agreed Raye
Sarah broke away from the arms of Darien.
" I need to get some fresh air" she muttered and headed towards the glass-paned door at the end of the ballroom. Darien was left astounded at her actions. He decided to follow her.
Sarah opened the door and stepped into the rose garden. The rose garden had a stone fountain, smack-bam in the middle,where there was a sun with water spurting at the top of it. Around the fountain was a circle of cobbled stone and a white marble bench,then there were rose hedges around it. There was only one entrance, the glass-paned door.
Sarah sighed as she walked around the fountain, her deep red gown trailing behind her. She leant over the hedge and smelt a rose.
" Why is life so hard?" she asked herself "Why can't i just stay in this rose garden for the rest of my life? Instead of being forced to marry a stranger, just to be Queen"
"Maybe you could get to know the stranger" suggested a handsome voice behind her
Sarah turned around. Darien was sitting on the bench with his legs crossed.He looked quite charming. His intent blue eyes scanning her body.
" I'm sorry is there something you wanted to tell me?"
" No i just felt like gettng a bit of fresh air" Darien said, repeating Sarah's words.
"Right, well i think it's time for me to go retire for the night" Sarah said irritably
"Wait!" Darien had got up from the bench and grabbed her wrist to stop her." So early? You've been at the ball for only half an hour!"
"Well, i....i g..guess i will stay for a little longer" Sarah stuttered, being close to Darien was making her a bit nervous.
Darien released Sarah's hand and inched closer, they were nearly nose to nose.
"Enjoy the p..party" Sarah managed to say, not wishing to go any further. She ran towards the door, her beautiful dress flowing gentlybehind her.
Sarah stepped back into the ballroom and walked across to the birthday cake, a massive cake with pure white icing andsliced strawberries on top. She reached for a silver spoon.
" It wouldn't hurt to have a teeny weeny bit of cake" she mumbled to herself
"Excuse me, your highness, your father would like to see you" A male servant said as he bowed to her
Sarah looked up, at the staircase, her father was motioning for her to come. She quickly dropped the spoon and slowly made her way through the ballroom.
" Father, you wished to see me" Sarah said
" Have you seen a man you fancy"
" What?! no" Sarah said a bit too quickly
" Are you sure?" Apollo, heapparently knew she was out with a man in the rose gardens.
" Dad, i don't like any man here" she said in a huff. Sarah was not going to marry and that was final.
"Very well" her father sighed. He wasn't satisfied with her answer, and Sarah knew it.
The night passed quite horribly. Being asked to dance twenty times by different bachelors, was no fun. The cake was nice though.
Sarah decided she had enough of dancing and returned back to her chambers. Guests were starting to leave as well. Prince Darien decided to go back to earth and tell his mother about Princess Sarah when he was stopped by a servant. He told Prince Darien that Apollo wished to see him in his Majesty's study.
Prince Darien was led througha series oflavish hallways and marble staircases. How big is this place.The servant and Darien finally arrived at a large mahogany door.
" His Majesty will be waiting for you inside" the servant opened the door
Darien stepped into the well-furnished study. He saw King Apollo sitting on luxurious leather seat.
"Sit" He motioned towards the seat opposite him.
Prince Darien obeyed.
"Prince Darien,I take it that you have a liking for my daughter, is that correct?" Apollo asked
"Yes, she is what any prince would want" Darien replied politely
" My daughter is being a little stubborn, and does not wish to marry" Apollo said " and i was...wondering if you might be able to get to know eachother a little better"
"Of course, Your Majesty, perhaps she wouldable to come over to the Earth Kindom for a few days"
This was what King Apollo wanted to hear
"Splendid, she will be arriving tomorrow midday" Apollo looked very pleased
Morning next day...
"shhh don't wake the princess"
"ugghhh" Sarah moaned as she pulled herself up." um..what are you doing?" she asked the two maids, in her walk-in dressroom
"Your grace, your father has asked us pack your belongings, for your trip to Earth" one of the maids answered
"Oh god, will I ever be left alone?"she asked rhetorically
Prince Darien paced impatiently, in the entrance hall. He was nervous, very nervous.
"Don't worry, sweetie" his mother said soothingly,she sensed that her son was overreacting
"Princess Sarah will make a perfect match for you,son" reassured his father who was standing next to his mother "She seems to be a very beautiful young lady, at the ball"
A portly man walked through the doors of the entrance hall
"Her grace has arrived" he announced. He turned and walked to his left.
Darien held his breath as Princess Sarah walked through the doors. She wore a magenta dress that went up to her knees, showng her perfect legs, and had straps with frills on it. Her hair was flowing lusciously over her shoulders. He snapped out of his daze and walked over to her.
" Princess Sarah, it's a pleasure to have you stay at our castle" He said quietly. Darien bent down and kissed her baby soft hand. She smiled pleasantly determined to hide her shock that the striking man she saw last night was the prince of Earth.
"Hello darling" Darien's mother chimed. She walked forward with her husband following.
"Your royal Majesties" She curtsied gracefully
"you don't need to be so formal with us, dear" Darien's father said kindly
"Adam!" The Queen called to the servant at the door " please show Sarah to her night chamber and make sure her belongings get brought there as well"
"yes, Your Majesty"
"Oh, and Sarah, sweetie, we'll be having lunch in 15 minutes ok? Adam will show you where the dining hall is. You can have a shower to freshen you up from your trip, if you want" The queen said
"ok"
Tenminutes later
" This will be your bedroom" Adam said " The dining hall is downstairs, you turn left then right and you'll see a set of double doors at the end of the corridor" With that he left.
Sarah's room was a spacious room with white marble floors. It had a queen size bed with comfy cotton sheets. There was even an adjoining bathroom.
She had a quick shower and changed into a comfortable, light blue sunday dress that was knee length. She combed her hair into a high ponytail and stepped out of her room, in search for the dining hall. Sarah was starving and she couldn't even remember the drections Adam told her.
"Well, i guess i'll have to look for it" Sarah murmured
She set off down the corridor and turned right. There was a set of double doors there! It was just like Adam described it to be then right and you'll see a set of double doors at the end of the corridor. This must be it.
She didn't know how wrong she was.
