Thank you for those of you who reviewed both online and offline! And for those of you who read online, I'm sorry to say that I made a little tiny mistake and if you don't remember that then YEA! Lol, but I had made a 'memo to self' note in the prologue to remember a name because I thought it was cool and would use it later on lol. So yeah, you'll see that name again but there's not going to be a quiz on it or anything lol. Again I apologize for that mistake and it just makes it worse for me to catch them b4 it's too late because I do my own editing and editing to me is " ok… no red squiggly marks so it's good!' lol ' I'm probably going to appoint my best friend because she's writer herself and would catch or at least ask me what my madness is all about lol… and enough of the AN you just want to read the chapter so here it is! Enjoy and remember I still require 5 reviews b4 you get another chapter. : )and sorry for the delay for update,Fan fic was being... i don't know but itwouldn't letme update until today... enjoy!

I.T.S Chapter 1 The Accident and the wonder 7 years later…
"Why do I have to go? I don't want to meet the ambassadors' from Out Kingdom, they're so pale! They're Like Ghosts, Isha!" Whined a petite child as she tried to wiggle free from her nursemaids' death drip on her wrist.
"Because as future queen of Valcon it's your duty to greet the ambassadors, that's why. Now stop struggling Erora!"
"NO! I'm not going and you can't MAKE ME, Humph!" Erora grunted as she kicked out at her would-be task master as hard as she possible could, causing her maid to wince and loosen her grip. Seizing the opportunity, Erora wrenched her arm free and ran for the safety of the gardens, tears streaming down her churbish cheeks.
"How dare she try and force me to meet those awful people again! They were horrid the last time to me and who got punished? ME! ... No, I won't give them another chance to humill…humiate… Hum-il-li-ate me again!" Sniffing periodically as she ranted, failing to notice the guard coming up behind her.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A high pitched scream could be heard in the Queen's Chambers' on the opposite side of the castle, closely followed by a deeper, more muffled scream of pain and terror.
"Oh no, ERORA!" Dropping her needle work, the Queen gathered her skirts and fled down the hall leading to the Great Hall. Taking the stairs two at a time she flew through the door to the left of the Great Hall and nto the gardens closely followed by the King (wearing a furious scowl).
"Erora! … Erora Destinia, You answer your mother right now!" The Queen shouted half panicked and half angered.
Muffled sobs indicated she was in front of them towards the ountains. Walking swiftly, so not to over alarm the servants, they came upon their daughter and gasped at the sight that greeted them,
"I-I-I didn't mean it Mama! Hiccup I didn't! I- he..." Sobs finally took control back from the child, doubling her over her knees with the force of them.
Erora was huddled in the corner of the alcove near the fountain with a guard sprawled against a tree trunk unconscious. The Princess had used her telekinesis against a royal guard.
Marching over to the young girl, the queen snatched her up off the ground.
"How dare you use your powers in public AND on a Royal Guard! You know the rules young lady," Smack! "Now go with Ishasta and clean up. Count yourself lucky that you are my only child and that this man will live!" The Queen shoved the child into the waiting arms of her nursemaid.
Erora rubbed her stinging cheek and glared at her mother with firry magenta eyes. Sniffing quietly, she lifted her head and straightened her shoulders like she'd been taught since birth, she shook off her nurse and entered the castle like a queen while the crowd hushed and parted before her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In The privacy of their living quarters, the Queen openly cried in her husbands' arms.
"I don't know what to do Oren. She is becoming more like Selenity than I thought she'd be. Did you see the way she commanded the crowd with just her presence? And her powers! They scream her Lunarian birth right!" The Queen worried.
"So? If word gets back to the Queen of the Silver Alliance she will just think it a great coincidence. Remember our own birth right Beloved," King Oren chucked under his queens' chin, "The Lunarians only remember one child being born. Add to that the fact that we don't belong to the Alliance, Erora cannot be discovered nor will she discover them since we are on the out most edge of that system, not to mention that it is forbidden for her to even think about leaving this planet"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
: If he says one thing wrong to me I'll knock him flat, I don't care what mother says: Erora thought angrily as she walked determinedly down the hall to the reception room. She had dressed nicely for this occasion (nothing else would do for a princess such as herself), a beautiful soft pink gown with a darker pink rose embroidered into the dress to match her magenta eyes, a golden band secured the dress to fit snugly on her budding hips to make the dress flare out around her. Her mane of golden-blonde hair was secured behind her ears in a smart twist making her look older than her 7 years with a circlet to finish the royal look.
Throwing her shoulders back and lifting her head, she proudly entered the Portal Room to await the entrance of the most vial boy in the universe. Nodding hello to the guards she leaned against the wall awaiting the tell-tall sign of the portal being activated.
: Why do I have to be here? Why couldn't General Sestina be here to greet him? She's the first general in the land after all! She has loads more diplomatic experience than I do: Sigh: I wanna go play in the gardens... Grrr… where is the little brat? He's late and he's unfortunately always on time… oh well! I'll just be on my…: Just as she was about to leave the room the portal flared to life, dashing her hopes. Groaning silently, she put on her fake court-smile as she'd been taught and straightened her dress a bit before folding her hands in front of her. : If there's a God out there… please, just strike me dead now before I endure this torture…:
"On behalf of their Majesties, the King and Queen of Valcon, I would like to welcome you and your emissaries to Valcon, Prince Diamond," Erora recited just as she had been taught and curtsied at the end. Rising up, she gestured to the door, "if you'll all follow me, I will gladly show you to your rooms and then escort you to the thrown room, this way." Taking a left outside the Portal Door, she walked briskly towards the west wing. : Maybe I can get away with putting them up in the west wing; I don't want Diamond anywhere near me…: But alas, this was not to be for when she rounded the corner to the main stairway, the housekeeper came around the corner.
"Oh Your Highness! I've had the guest rooms in the East Wing prepared for our guests." She beamed with pride as if she had just done a great and mighty thing before she curtsied and left to do her other chores. :oooo! That witch! She knows I don't like Diamond: She fumed inwardly while barely keeping a serene face. "Thank you, Hikara, for informing me of this. I had thought that my parents had agreed on the west wing but I must have been mistaken…" she smiled tightly, "this way please gentlemen…" A chuckle was heard from behind her. Glancing back, her eyes narrowed as Diamond strode to catch up with her and making it look graceful.
"What, were you planning on letting us, the ambassadors of the Black Moon Kingdom in the Gala Galaxy, stay in the west wing when it's tradition for guests of royal blood to stay in the east, right under the royal rooms? I'd hope you were more generous than that Princess." He concluded his statement by snaking his arm around my shoulder and leaned down to whisper for my ears only, "after all, you are my future bride; you might as well start getting used to it."
Gritting her teeth, Erora seethed…: How DARE HE: "Remove yourself from my person or I will remove it for you forcefully…"
"Now Erora, is that any way to talk to your suitor?" He smirked knowingly. : Oooooohhh, do I hate that smirk: You know good and well I'm not of age for a suitor nor old enough for my parents or yours to be thinking of an alliance marriage! Now I will say it again, Remove yourself or I will do it for you" Erora growled out, full and ready to face her mother if it meant getting one good beating in on this toad.
"Oh, you don't really mean that E.D…." he said trying to move forward with her up the stairs.
: That's IT I've HAD IT: Gritting her teeth she shoved him off her and flung her arm away from her body sending Diamond into the wall. "That's for not learning manners!" she said angrily, as he hit the ground with 'Thunk!' to emphasizing manners. Flicking her wrist upwards, she sent Diamond to kiss the ceiling "This is for calling me ED!" Sweat started to build up on her forehead as her concentration started to slip. "And this is for thinking I'd ever marry a sniveling snake like you!" she screamed as she lost her control over him allowing him to fall the rest of the way to the floor.
Turning to the delegates she smiled kindly as they huddled in fear before her. "Because you have done nothing to me I will allow you to forget this ever happened. Good night." Waving her hand before them, the men crumpled to the ground in an undignified manner.
As her senses starting to return to her, she looked over the scene that she had just caused, "Oh no… no! What have I done? Mother is going to have me banished for sure this time!" Falling in a heap to the ground, she buried her head in the knees. "Someone help! Please, please take me away"
sobbing into her knees, she never realized that her crescent birthmark shone brightly under the Vulcan one and had orbed her to the Center of the Silver Millennium's Garden. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Moon Kingdom's library the five inner kingdom princesses' were being school in history at the moment. Noticing that one of his pupils was distracted, Artemis decided to punish her with answering the next question.
"Princess Serenity, in B.S.M 20 what were all the planets like?" he waited patiently for her answer as he leisurely paced in front of the chalkboard. Silence greeted him while waiting for her reply, "Serenity..." giggles from the other girls could be heard, "SERENITY!" He shouted as he shook the girl out of her daydream.
"Yes Artemis? Oh, umm, the planets were in chaos, civil war had broken out on many of the planets centuries before Queen Selenity I(one) brought peace and order out of the violence and chaos…" she stated absentmindedly, gazing out the window.
Artemis closing his slack jaw manually stuttered, "Oh umm, v-very good Your Highness, I'm impressed…." Muttering to himself he turned back to the chalkboard and started writing out the next lesson.
"Sere, were on the moon did you wander off to?" her 2nd cousin, Princess Minako of Venus, asked in a giggling voice.
"There's someone in the gardens…" she whispered almost too low for Venus to catch as she got out of her chair and ran for the door.
"Serenity come back!" Minako started to get up after her but was stopped by a hand holding her back. Looking down she saw Raye shake her head.
"She won't hurt our princess."
"You've seen it? You've seen this and you didn't tell me! Mars I can't believe you!" Venus shouted at her, "What if your vision was wrong Raye? What then? Forewarned is forearmed…" shaking her head she lost her serious face and sat in her chair sulking like the seven year old she is. "I'm supposed to be the leader of this group…" she muttered to Artemis's owlish ears.
"You have quiet a long way to go if you want to achieve that role, Princess, so I advise you to get your head out of the clouds and back into books….. Where did Serenity go"
"She ummm… had to use the Lady's Room, Art! She'll be back in two shakes of a cows' tails!" Everyone groaned at her misquote.
"Well, let's get back to our studies ladies. Now, who can tell me what planet was the first to enter the Silver Alliance"
-
After leaving the Library Serenity ran towards the Royal Gardens. : Who is this person that I feel tugging on my heart? And her pain! I feel like my hearts about to burst with its heaviness: Coming upon the Gardens, Serenity made a Bee-line towards the central fountain in the center of the Maze. She stopped when she heard the heart wrenching sobs that brought her out there in the first place. The girl was huddled on the ground under the Jupiter oak tree on the left of the fountain. The girl had a soft rose pink gown on with hair as golden as her own. : She's my age:
-
: How could I have been so stupid? Letting that good for nothing prince get the best of me! I knew better, and now, now mother and father will be very displeased with me… I've got to get out of here! But I've nowhere to go…' Sobs wracked her body as she continued to worry over what her parents are going to do her as soon as they found her with Diamond unconscious beside her.
Feeling small arms go around her, Erora was startled out of her wallowing and looked up into the face of a shinning angel.
"You can stay here if you want." The Angel said.
Looking around her for the first time, Erora's head started to spin as she saw that she wasn't in the halls of Valcon. Instead she was in a maze of some sort with a fountain in the center surrounded by five trees of different shape, sizes and substance. The one on the North part of the maze was made of rippling water, on the East a tree of ruby red fire that stretched out towards the heavens with its flames. The one on the South-East was of pure Gold with fruit in the shape of hearts. In the South-West there was a silver tree that bore no fruit and lastly the one they were under was a gigantic oak tree that nearly dominated the circle.
'Where am I? ...' Erora asked herself in awe only to hear the girl next to her giggle. "You're on the Moon of course! Where else would you be?"
"The Moon? You mean… you mean I'm in the Silver Kingdom! I'm forbidden to be here! If my parents find out…" shaking slightly Erora shook her head, "No, I won't think of them, but… how did I get here? The last thing I remember was beating that snobby prince to a pulp and then…" biting her lip, Erora fought the tears that threatened to fall once again.
"I don't know how you got here but you are here so that's all that counts!" Bubbled Serenity, "My name is Serenity, what's yours?"
"Pri… Erora, My name's Erora. Hey you have a crescent moon on your forehead like me but where is your sign of Valcon? And how did you know what I was saying in my head? I wasn't talking…." Erora gasps, "OH, I'M SOO SORRY! I didn't mean to mind touch with you! I've never been able to mind-touch anyone at home…"
"It's my birthmark silly, so of course I have one! But it's weird that you have one too, because only the people born of the Lunar Royal Family have this birthmark… we should go ask Mommy!" Jumping up Serenity dragged Erora to her feet and lead her down the path to the castle.
"You didn't answer my question Serenity… How did you hear me?"
"I don't know, I've never done it before either." She shrugged and grinned at Erora over her shoulder. "Now stop being a slowpoke and come on"
