Hey y'all thank you for the wonderful reviews. But just to let you know I had written this chapter before but me being the idiot I am didn't save it and my computer died b/c I was writing it on my laptop in my bed room and the battery died so it was completely lost so I had to rewrite this and I'm going to try to make it longer but the only thing that is keeping me going is coke and candy bars and listening to Wicked. Well here it is bye bye guys.
Disclaimer- I don't own sailor moon.
Two people stood in the stables hiding in the shadows of the setting sun. Both watched as the Princess and Princess walked and short loving looks at each other.
" Who are you ? And why have you sent for me?" one asked. Pain evident in his voice. His forest green eyes sighed with hurt and desire. His thick brown hair was full with curls and his broad shoulders were slumped against a wall.
" Who I am in of no importance. Oh but My Lord Thomas don't be upset. Look at her, you can win her back." the other one said. Her voice gave away that she was a woman a young one to mostly like in her early twenty's. Her face was hidden in a shadow but her wavy brown hair fell over her simple green gown, a white apron tied over it. Probably a lady of the court he presumed. He glanced at her again.
" I-I …she does not love me anymore. We have changed…she has changed." he murmured. His eyes were fixated on the couple. She had a rose in her ivory hand. He swallowed the happy memories of when he only gave her roses.
A small palmran overhis cheek. " You and Serenity disserve each other. You were meant to be together."
And Endymion and I were meant to be with each other. I'll be damned if that little wench steals him from me.
" Stay in the palace My Lord and win her heart back. Re-kindle the feelings you once had for each other. Show her that you love her." the woman persuaded. " You were going to marry her, but could not because she was betrothed. Endymion will let Serenity go he loves another." she said smugly.
The sun had fully set. And the stars were peeking out of their black blanket. Thomas sighed and nodded. " I will stay in the Palace as a guest for her wedding. And if something should happen then so be it but I will not be used a game piece in your attempt to win the Prince back in to your arms." he said sternly.
" I have no idea what your talking about My Lord." she said and ran off back into the Palace. Thomas rolled his eyes and slowly walked back into the Palace too. There was going to be a feast tonight so the one week wedding festivities could begin. It would be a good opportunity to find Serenity.
Serenity sat at her desk trying to make her needle and thread float and sew by themselves it should have been and easy incantation but easy so Serena meant hard. After what seemed like an eternity she finally pronounced the spell correctly and the needle and thread began to sew. As to what they were sewing she could not say. She pitied her daughters it was a gift that all the women in her family had, it was a shame her mother could not teach her how to work her magic. The one spell she could do however was turn almost any thing in to and kind of flower or jewel. She smiled to her self and walked over to her trunks and began to look for a gown for tonight. After she found her gown- which was a deep royal blue with and empire waist and cut of sleeves. The hem of the skirt and low neck line were trimmed in sliver. A black velvet belt with tiny crystals sewn in to it went with the dress. She placed it on her bed and began to spin around one of her many girlish innocents shining through her refined and poised self. Then Mina walked in.
" Aw so I see you are basking in the feeling of love." she said with a giggle.
Serena let out a small laugh. " oh Mina he is wonderful!" she said smiling, for once in her life she had no doubts at all. She was actually excited about her wedding in one week.
" But do you love him?" Mina asked.
Serena stopped and thought a moment " Yes I believe I do."
A smile spread across Mina's face. She was happy for her Princess.
" And what about you Mina has sir Andrew caught your eye" she questioned.
" Aye he has." Mina said blushing.
"And what of the Lady Rei?"
Mina giggled and turn to face Serena. " Well I think someone has. I saw her talking with a tall man with curly brown hair I only saw him from behind while I was walking with Sir Andrew."
Serena nodded. It was about time Rei had found someone. She had begun to worry about her. No doubt that Rei was beautiful but more or less distant. Serena looked around the room once more before asking Mina to leave so she could get dressed.
When Serena finally was finished getting dressed she looked beautiful, her gown clung to her perfectly her golden hair was done up in two buns with longer pieces of hair flowing from them and her simple sliver tiara made her look very elegant.
As she walked through the great hall she smiled and waved at everyone looking for Darien. She was about to give until she felt a strong arm wrap around her. She turned in the strong grasp a smile on her face as blue met blue. He lightly kissed her cheek.
" How are you my love?" he asked.
Her eyes sparkled.. She did love him. " I am fine. But I would enjoy a dance."
He smiled and took her hand and led her on the dance floor. "Your wish is my command." As the melody slowed down he pulled her close and began to sway to the music. Serenity leaned her head on his shoulder it wasn't a very proper lady like thing to do but she didn't care. She relaxed and breathed in his scent of fresh soap off his clothes.
Stephan stood to the side. His countess would be coming in 3 weeks and then they would be wed. He cringed at the thought.. These were his last days a free man. He scanned over all the Ladies in the Hall. Serenity and her Ladies were truly the most beautiful women in the whole Kingdom. He sighed and envied his brother for such a beautiful girl, French women always ere beautiful.
Rei leaned against a table. Her flirtation evident. She smiled as the man with thick curly hair told the story of his life. Serenity saw Rei out of the corner of her eye. When the song ended she excused her self from Darien. She started walking over when Mina pulled her to the side.
" Yes Mina?"
" I saw you dancing with Darien." she giggled.
" Yes so?"
" Well you too make a cute couple!" Mina squealed.
Serena shook her head it was very evident that Mina had been drinking to much wine to night. Her girlish side was coming out and seeing that Mina was the same age as Serena and much more in control of her feelings it could only be wine making her behavior this way.
Serena had to smile though. Mina was in love too. She had a very good feeling that Sir Andrew would probably be coming to France with them. " Have a good night Mina." she patted her on the shoulder and walked off to find Rei who then by her self.
" Where did your young suitor go?" Serena questioned.
Rei smiled. " Prince Stephan is showing him the Palace. And he is hardly young I say about 25 or 26." ( A.N. That was considered old not to be married by that age.)
" Well when he gets back you shall have to introduce him to me." Serena said.
" Aye I will." Rei said and turned around and handed Serena a cup of wine. She raised her glass to her best friend. " Cheers my Friend!" they clicked their glasses and swallowed the wine. A smile spread on there faces.
The night went along smoothly Serena and Darien danced while Mina and Andrew kindled their love for each other in a corner of the great room. Rei spent time with her mystery man- who Serena had not seen yet. Slowly the night came to a close and Serena finally saw Rei and her suitor. She quickly walked over to them. The mans back was to her but she could see Rei.
As she approached Rei called out to her " Oh Serena come over quickly I have someone I want you to meet!"
Serena picked up her pace and finally got to them. " Serena this is …." Rei began to say ans the man turned around. His forest green eyes fixated on her blue ones. Serena's face went white and she could barley even whisper his name. " Thomas"
Ok that no where near the 7 pages I wrote more like four but I tried I hoped you like it. I'm sorry if it was a bit rushed but any way the new chapter will be up soon please review thank you!
