I don't own Sailor Moon or Ever After (not taking after this story anymore too)

Back to the story…

Serena point of view:

Why is this place so crowded? It's only Thursday? I walked up to the meat shop to get some goose for tonight's feast. After all I did want to make it special. After I made my order I browsed around at some of the carts through jewelry. Though I couldn't afford it, there is no shame in looking.

Suddenly I took notice of a man climbing on a pedestal, when he reached the top and was standing tall he unwound a scroll of paper to read of the words " Ladies and Lords, from the fourth day from today, will be held a ball. In means of celebration of the Prince Darien's journey for a new bride, all maidens shall attend. This ball is proclaimed as a masquerade ball, so where an appropriate attire. It will start from 7 and sustain till 2, please join us. Declared by Prince Darien Endymion Shields the 2nd."

Authors point of view:

Serena squealed in delight at the sound of this news, she never attended a ball before, and she hoped this one would be her first.

………………

Mean while Amy tagged along with Ray as she was looking at the brooches cart to find a maroon pendant to place on the trim of her chest to show the public her maturing body.

Amy disgusted by her younger sisters thoughts, perused to find something more subtle. Scanning around she noticed a different jewelers cart with studded chandler earrings, that were long, but not heavy from what she observed. They were a rich chocolate brown with shiny azure jewels in crested within that caught your eye. She jumped for joy when she found the perfect accessory that coordinated with her dress.

Lita was looking for a necklace to accentuate her low-cut dress, she wanted to impress a certain general. Not that she needed to, she was already beautiful. She was on the opposite side of the cart Amy was attending to too. Among all the necklaces laid out a deep emerald green amulet attracted her. It was in the center of a long gold chain with twists in it to make the look more dramatic. She knew the necklace was meant for her to wear.

Mina didn't fancy any jewelry at all, her passion was bows. She would always wear big ones in the back of her head they just suited her well. The colors she found in one cart were extraordinary, but a plain orange bow seemed to be calling out to her. After taking some time to look at it she finally seemed to notice it would go perfect with her dress. It would be the key to her whole look that night.

Glancing at her right she noticed she wasn't the only bow lover, which actually surprised her. Most people thought they were distasteful, but no she thought they were amazing. Unfortunately this girl was a lowly worker, she could tell by her looks. Too bad, we could have been good friends…And she remembered her father always scolded her and her sisters to not associate with people below your status, it wasn't princess like.

………………….

Serena heard the chime of the bell from the meat shop, following was a hollow voice announcing "order 29". Quickly, she scurried to proclaim her order so she could carry on shopping.

…………………..

The 4 sisters finally bought there needed accessories, and had their servants lug them to their carriage. Loaded, and ready to go they all took seats inside.

…………………….

Serena was relived to finally finished with the shopping. She found it to be very tiring. She hoisted and then adjusted her bags full of tonight's dinner as she strode across the dirt road.

……………………….

Inside the carriage the four seemed to be gloating about their new trinkets. Caught up in all their gabbing, they took a late notice in all the screams surrounding them, and missed the collision.

…………………….

Serena was halfway across before she noticed a Carriage one foot away from her side. The next thing she knew she fell to complete darkness.

AN: I know… I know… short chapter after not posting for over a month. My deepest apologies. The start of high school is a killer, especially if I have to maintain all A's. I promise at least to update between in 1-2 weeks. And it will be a chapter with good length (at least for me). And I hope all my reviewers will stay with me. And if there are any new comers, review with complaints, criticism, and NICE reviews. Hehehe
