I don't own Sailor moon or the characters in my story….

I want to apologize. This chapter was supposed to be the party, but it just didn't turn out that way. There was some information that just needed to be said. But I promise the next chapter will be the start of the party. Thanks.

You can't buy my love

Chapter3. Late again?

Princess Serenity awoke with a smile on her face, the sun was peaking through her curtains telling here that the morning was already here. She yawned and crawled out of bed. She sat at her vanity table and brushed out her long blond hair before putting it up in the traditional buns.

She sat there and stared at herself. Wondering if anyone could ever love her. She had long blond hair, crystal clear blue eyes, pearly white skin, and delicate red lips. Serenity thought to herself. Am I pretty enough? Nobody has ever noticed me before. I remember all the other parties I've been to and all the princes wouldn't even give me a second glance. I just hope I won't be disappointed at this party. I want to find my dream prince and be swept off my feet. I just can't wait, my birthday is tomorrow and I can't wait to get all dressed and see what happens.

Serenity checks herself in the mirror one more time, making sure she is presentable enough to her mother. Slips on a pink off the shoulder dress with a huge bow in the back and has streams of lace hanging down to the floor. Slips on a pearl necklace, bracelet, and some matching earrings and goes down stairs to the throne room to meet her mother.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Princess Serenity walked into the throne room. Bowed in front of her mother who was sitting on her throne. Queen Serenity was a beautiful women with long silver hair that nearly touched the ground. She had blue eyes as well and still had the look of youth about her even though she was far older than she looked. Queen Serenity gracefully stood up and walked down to her daughter.

"Please rise my darling daughter." Helps Princess Serenity up. "Let me get a good look at you." Tilts her chin up and gazes at her. "You have become such a beauty my dear Serenity. And now its time for you to choose a husband. I want you to choose because I want you to be happy, I don't want to force you to marry anyone because that's the opportunity I had when I was your age and I'm very grateful that my parents gave me that choice. I loved your father will all my heart and soul and I hope for that same happiness for you." A single tear streaked down the Queen's cheek.

"Thank you mother. I hope I find my special someone too. I long for that companionship. And I thank you for you praises mother. I just hope I can make you proud." Serenity stood tall, every inch the Princess she is.

"That and more you have already done Princess, you have made me proud to be your mother already hundreds of times over. Just seeing the Princess that you have become brings joy to my heart."

"Thank you again Mother. Now with your leave I shall go and meet my court in the gardens and have a relaxing day before all the decorations start to be put up."

"Go my Serenity, and have a wonderful day." Princess Serenity bows to her mother before rushing to the gardens to meet the others.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Princesses Raye, Lita, Mina, and Amy were all waiting for Princess Serenity in the garden. They were seated on benches surrounded by flowers of all kinds and a quiet fountain in front of them.

Princess Raye had a Short red dress on that brought out the color of her raven black hair that was down held only by a lose red ribbon tied in the back. Princess Lita had a long green dress, her brown hair was up in her usual pony tail. Princess Mina had on a puffy long sunny yellow dress with a matching yellow hat that held up her long blond hair. Princess Amy wore a simple blue dress with a lace collar and her short blue hair was held back with a silk blue headband.

Princess Raye stood up and began pacing in front of the fountain. " I can't believe she's still not here yet. How can she expect to ever be a good Queen if she can't even be on time?'

Just then Serenity comes around the corner running at high speed. She comes to a stop and plops down on the bench and sits down next to Mina.

"I'm Really Really sorry I'm late guys. I had to talk to my mother this morning and that talk was a little later than I expected it to be. Please forgive me."

"Of course we forgive you Serenity. What are friends for?" Mina said and gave Serenity a hug. "Don't all you guys agree?" Mina asks the others.

"We all agree Serenity" Amy replies with a forgiving smile.

"Speak for yourselves." Raye says with a snort. "Serenity can't keep doing this to us. I mean sure she's our friend and all. But she can't keep doing this. She had to learn to BE ON TIME!" Raye Says before she walks off in the direction of the castle.

"I'm really sorry about that Serenity." Lita says with a sympathetic hug. "We don't all feel that way. I just think Raye's a little jealous about all the attention your going to be getting, just ignore her if she acts like this."

Serenity turns to everyone. "If you say so. I just wish she didn't act like that. I really try to be here when I say I do. Its just that, sometimes things come up and its impossible for me to be here when I say I'm going to."

"And that's ok, we understand what goes on around here. We know how busy you are and we know that you needed some time alone with your mother so discuss some things." Amy says before picking up her book on poetry and begins to read it.

"Thanks Amy, I hope your right." Serenity feels a little better and begins to sing for the girls.
