Chapter 3

Bruce: Many sad and lonely years passed by for King Kallen and the people of the Moon Kingdom. But as the time for Princess Serenity's fourteenth birthday drew near, the entire kingdom began to rejoice, for everyone knew that as long as Beryl's domain, the Dark Kingdom, thundered with her wrath and frustration, her evil prophecy had not been fulfilled.

Thunder boomed and lightning flashed around the Dark Kingdom as Beryl paced in her throne room which was filled with youma of all shapes and sizes.

"It's incredible! Fourteen years, and not a trace of her!" yelled Beryl angerly.

"She couldn't have vanished into thin air!" yelled Beryl. "Are you sure you searched everywhere?" Beryl asked one of the youma in front of her. "Yeah, yeah, uh. Everywhere-we all did." explained the youma. "Yeah! Yeah!" said the other youmas.

"And what about the town? The forest? The Mountains?" Beryl asked angerly.

"Uh, we check moutains, uh-uh, forest. Uh, houses and, uh, let me see, uh, and all the cradles." the youma told Beryl.

"Cradles?" Beryl asked the youma.

"Uh, yep, yep. Ha ha ha ha. Every cradle." the youma told Beryl.

"Cradle?!" Beryl asked and yelled in shock.

"Did you head that, my pet? All these years...they've been looking for a baby. Oh, ha ha ha!" Beryl told her faithful pet crow as she began to laugh and cackle causing the youma to laugh with her.

"Fools! Idiots! Imbeciles!" yelled Beryl as she used her powers to attack the youma causing them to run off in pain.

"Ahhh." sighed Beryl as she walked over to her throne.

"Oh, they're hopeless, a disgrace to the forces of evil." sighed Beryl as she sat down in her throne as Morg flew over to her.

"Oh, my pet. You are my last hope." Beryl told the crow as she held out her hand causing Morg to fly ontop of it.

"Circle far and wide. Search for a maid of fourteen, with hair of sunshine gold, and lips as red as the rose. Go, and do not fail me." Beryl told her crow causing it to fly off in search.

Bruce: And so, for fourteen long years, the whereabouts of Princess Serenity remained a mystery, while deep in the forest, in a woodcutter's cottage, the good fairies carried out their well-laid plan. Living like mortals, they had reared the child as their own, and called her Serena.

Humming filled the air as the shutters of a window high in the woodcutter's cottage opened revealing a maid with sunshine gold hair tied in two buns on her head with long hair on each side and lips the shade of the rose, wearing a white and pink dress.

Serena continued her happy huming as she dusted the window shutters.

Bruce: On this, her fourteenth birthday, the good fairies had planned a party, and something extra special for a surprise.

Downstairs, Luna, Diana and Rini were looking through a dress pattern book for the perfect dress that they could make for their dearest Serena.

"Well, now, how about this one?" Rini suggested as she pointed at a beautiful dress in the book.

"This is the one I picked." Luna happily told the other fairies as she pointed at a beautiful gown.

"Ooh, she'll look beautiful in that." sighed Diana happily.

"Now, I thought a few changes here." Luna told them as she pointed out what she wanted changed on the gown.

"Uh-huh." agreed Rini.

"Don't forget a pretty bow." Diana warned them.

"Yes, and raise the shoulder line." Luna told them.

"We'll make it pink." Rini told them.

"Oh, no, dear, white." Luna told Rini.

"Of course we'll need a few pleats." Luna told them.

"Yes, but how are we going to get her out of the house?" Rini asked curiously as Serena walked down the stairs as she finished her cleaning.

"I'll think of something." Luna told them causing each of the fairies to giggle as Serena looked at their curiously.

"Well." said Serena causing the three fairies to block the book from Serena's view.

"And what are you three dears up to?" Serena asked them curiously as she walked over to the fairies.

"Up to?" Rini asked.

"Up to? Up to? Er, er..." studdered Luna as she tried to come up with a way to get Serena out of the house.

"We-we want you to pick some berries." Rini explained as she dumped some white flowers out of a basket and then handed the basket to Serena.

"That's it-berries." Luna told Serena happily as she and the other fairies began to heard Serena out of the cottage.

"Berries?" Serena asked curiously.

"Lots of berries." Diana told Serena.

"But I picked berries yesterday." Serena told the fairies.

"Oh, we need more, dear." Luna told Serena as Rini placed a shall about Serena's head just as they pushed her out the door. "Lots, lots more." Diana told Serena as they shut the door.

"Yes. Now don't hurry back dear." Luna told Serena who just smiled. "But don't go too far." Rini warned. "And don't speak to strangers." Luna warned.

"Good-bye dear." Diana told Serena as the other fairies did the same.

"Good-bye." Serena happily told the fairies.

"I wonder if she suspected?" Rini asked once Serena had walked away from the cottage.

"Of course not." Luna told Rini happily.

"Come on. Oh, will she be surprised." said Luna happily ran over to a chest to get out some fabric. "A real birthday party with a real birthday cake." said Diana happily as she went into the kitchen and took out a cook book.

"Yes, and a dress a Princess can be proud of." said Luna happily as she held out a bundle of pink fabric. "I'll get the wands." said Rini happily as she headed up the stairs.

"Yes, you g- the wands?" Luna almost agreed and then gasped in shock.

"Oh, no." Diana told Rini. "No magic." Luna told Rini causing her to stop.

"But the fourteen years are almost over." protested Rini as she walked back down the stairs.

"We're taking no chances." Luna told Rini as she handed Rini the dress making supplies.

"But I've never baked a fancy cake." Rini protested as Luna got out more fabric.

"Oh, you won't have to, dear." Luna told Rini. "I'm going to bake the cake." Diana told Rini as the fairy in gold got out the baking supplies. "You?" Diana asked Rini in shock. "Oh, she's always wanted to, dear and this is her last chance." Luna told Rini as she handed her more fabric to carry.

"Well.." replyed Rini as she agreed to let Diana make the cake.

"I'm going to make it fourteen layers with white and pink forget-me-nots." explained Diana as she placed the cups and bowls on the table. "And I'm making the dress." explained Luna as she placed more fabric in Rini's arms. "But you can't sew and she's never cooked." complained Rini. "Oh, ho, ho, it's simple." explained Luna. "All you do is follow the book." explained Diana. "Up here, dear." Luna told Rini as she led the youngest fairy onto one of the stools.

"You can be the dummy." Luna told Rini. "Well, I still say we ought to use magic." Rini told them once more as Luna threw the fabric over Rini and then began to cut into the fabric.

"La la la da da da da, Dee dee dee deedle um, La da da." hummed Diana as she emptyed one of the bowls.

"Flour, 3 cups." Diana read from the book causing her to look around.

"Cups, cups, cups, cups, cups, cups, cups." muttered Diana as she looked around for a cup to use and ended up getting three different cups from the table. "Dee da dee da da dum." hummed Diana as she poured flour into the cups and ended up spilling more into the bowl then the recipe called for.

"What's that for?" Rini asked Luna who had cut a hole into the fabric.

"Well, it's got to have a hole in the bottom." Luna told Rini as she through the hole over Rini causing the hole to land on the ground as Luna straightened out the fabric.

"That's for the feet to go through." Diana told Rini as Luna placed the rest of the fabric on Rini's head.

"It's white." Rini told Luna.

"Oh, lovely shade, isn't it." Luna happily told Rini. "But I wanted it pink." Rini told Luna.

"Now, dear, we decided white was her color." Luna told Rini as she wrapped more fabric around her as she tried to turn the fabric into a dress.

"You decided." Rini told Luna before the fabric muffled Rini's voice as Luna tied a ribbon around the fabric.

"Two eggs, fold in gently." Diana read as she held two eggs. "Fold? Oh, well." asked and said Diana as she placed the eggs into the batter and then folded the batter over the eggs. She then pressed down causing the eggs to crack and batter to over flow from the bowl.

"I can't breathe!" yelled Rini who was having a hard time breathing out of the fabic until Luna cut a hole in the top.

"Get me out of here!" yelled Rini as Luna pulled the dress down.

"It looks awful." Rini told Luna as she looked down at the odd looking dress. "That's because it's on you, dear." Luna told Rini.

"Now yeast, 1 tsp." read Diana.

"Tsp?" Diana asked curiously.

"One teaspoon." Rini told Diana. "One teaspoon! Of course!" said Diana happily as she took one of the spoons and then began to add yeast to the already over flowing batter along with some spices as well.

"Oh, gracious! How that child has grown!" sighed Luna happily. "Oh, it seems only yesterday we brought her here." Rini sighed sadly.

"Just a tiny baby." Diana sighed sadly as she cradled some batter.

"Why, Rini!" Luna asked Rini who was sniffling as Luna pinned the sleaves to the dress.

"Whatever is the matter, dear?" Diana asked worringly.

"After today, she'll be Princess Serenity and we won't have any Serena." cried Rini as Luna wrapped more fabric around the dress.

"Oh, Luna!" Diana told Luna. "Now, now, now, now. We-we-we all knew this day had to come." Luna told the other fairies as she too wiped away some tears. "But why did it have to come so soon?" Diana sadly asked more batter in another bowl.

"After all, we've had her for fourteen years." Luna told the fairies.

"Fourteen wonderful years." sniffled Rini as the other fairies agreed sadly. Luna then cleared her throat. "Good gracious! We're acting like a lot of ninnies! Come on! She'll be back before we get started." Luna told the other fairies.
