She was lining up next to the guards and across from the senshi. The generals were even lining up. The King and Queen, rulers of the Moon Kingdom and Silver Millenium, were arriving soon with their senshi. As soon as they arrived an important meeting was going to take place and the younger senshi and the guards were not allowed to attend. Serena was snapped out of her thoughts when a bright light started to glow from the portal chamber. Serena had seen people come out of the portals but the glow was usually a faint, misty light. The light got so bright that everyone had to shield their eyes. 20 seconds later a tall woman with a graceful walk came walking out with her arm looped loosely through a handsome man's arm. He was tall with dark hair and dark eyes, She was also tall but she had white skin and dark luminous blue eyes and silver-like hair. She looked like an angel with a gold cresent moon on her forehead. The senshi, guards and generals all dropped to one knee. "That is not needed, we are all friends here." Serenity said. Behind the couple were 8 ladies, also beautiful but nothing to match Serenity. One came very close, she was introduced as the queen of Venus, she had hair that shone like gold and her eyes were green like jade. The queen of mars had black hair down to her shoulders, it was thick and shiny. Her eyes were mysterious they were brown and shone gold in the sun like tiger eyes. The queen of Mercury had long blue hair that reminded Serena of ice. The queen of Uranus had sandy blonde hair cut short and looked like an almost exact replica of her daughter. The queen of Saturn had longish-curly black hair and dark purple eyes. The queen of Jupiter had brown hair in a braid down her back. The queen of Neptune had aqua hair that reminded Serena of the deep depths of the sea. The queen of Pluto had dark green almost black hair and had a strange string of keys around her waist. 'I'm going to have to wear my best dress at the ball tonight' Serena thought 'the one mother sent me. In the meeting tempers were flaring, "Earth will not join the Silver Millenium, we refuse unless a suitable offer can be made before tommorrow night." Queen Alaxia said trying her best not to yell. "Don't you see? Nothing bad will come from the deal. The millenium is peaceful and friendly." Serenity tried to reason but Queen Alexia just would not listen. Later on at the ball everyone was dancing and mingling and drinking punch. 'I wonder where Serena is' Mars was thinking. 'Ohh, she's beautiful!' Everyone was looking at a young lady with golden blonde hair and a white silk dress. She was as beautiful as Queen Serenity. Everyone was staring at her as she walked down the staircase and into the ballroom. No one knew who she was and everyone wanted to know who the beauty was. The prince approached the lady and everyone went back to what they were doing before all the commotion. "May I have this dance?" Darien asked offering the mystery woman his arm. 'Oh my god!' Serena thought. 'He doesn't recognize me. What am I gonna do? I can't refuse to dance with prince without causing a scene and I really don't want to dance with the jerk.' "Of course Prince Darien." Serena said in a posh voice. She was dancing for about 10 minutes when she got fed up. "If you'd excuse me, I am feeling rather like going for a walk." "Then let me escort you?" Darien said watching her. Her voice was like a song playing a tune to his heart. He was in love with the woman already. "Uhhh, no I was really hoping to have some time to myself." Serena quickly filled in. "Then perhaps we may dance later on tonight?" "Perhaps." Serena said as she rushed out to the palace gardens joining off the doors at the side of the room. She left Darien standing alone but that changed as the usual little troop of ladies paraded over in their slinky dresses and tried to score a dance with the prince. 'That was close, thank god I got away, I don't know what I'd do if I was stuck in there much longer.' Serena thought. A movement in the bushes behind her startled her. 'What was that' Serena thought looking around. 'There's Mina. I wonder what she's doing.' "Hello?" Serena said and tapped Mina's shoulder. "HUH!?!" Mina turned around shocked. 'Wow it's the lady from the ballroom.' Serena had a long white dress that swept the floor and clung to her like it was a second skin. Her golden hair was wrapped up in a bun on top of her head with a long thick golden stream running down her back. Her eyes were a bright blue, shining like sapphires. "What's, up are you looking for something?" Serena asked looking around in the direction Mina was looking a second ago. She couldn't see anything but then she caught a glimpse of blond almost white hair inside the window of the ballroom. Malachite was standing there drinking punch and talking to Damien, one of the Generals. Mina had been spying on Malachite! "Mina why don't you just go and ask him to dance?" "Ask who? I don't know what your talking about." Mina said rushing her voice. "Who are you?" "You mean you don't know? It's me, Serena." "Serena?" Mina said shocked. "Wow you look so different. I didn't even recognize you." "I bet you're happy your mother is here?" "Oh yeh. But it would have been nice if we had found the princess before Queen Serenity arrived. The only thing we know about her is that she'd be about the same age as you and me and she might have a necklace with a blue heart-shaped crystal." At the mention of the necklace Serena put her hand protectively around the charm on her own necklace, it was something she had since she was little her mother had told her she was left on the steps in a stroller and that she had taken her in as her own. The only thing she had left of her real mother was the necklace. Slowly all the peices fell together and Serena realised she was the missing princess. "Ohhh!" Serena gasped. "What is it Serena?" Mina asked worried. "Nothing. Tell me about the princess." "Hmmm. I don't really know much except that she's my cousin." Mina answered. "You mean Queen Serenity and your mother are sisters?" "Yup. That's why I will have some Moon power and the princess will have some of the power of Venus." Serena decided it was best she didn't tell Mina what she thought until later. 'What if I told her and it turned out I wasn't the princess? She'd be to upset' thought Serena 'Maybe it's just a coincidence. No I will talk to Serenity about it tomorrow.' "Mina?" "Yes Serena?" "Why don't we go back inside, and you can dance with Malachite?" Serena asked. "Malachite wouldn't dance with me, and what about you and the prince? He seemed to be getting along well with the 'mystary' woman. You really look beautiful dressed up. As beautiful as Queen Serenity even." "Why thank you Mina. Don't worry Malachite will dance with you, he can't say no to you. I think he likes you!" Serena said jokingly. "Come on lets go," Mina began. "Just wait 'till Darien finds out who he was dancing with!" "No Mina! You can't tell him." Serena said suddenly. Mina turned to look at her new friend and thought it was best she didn't argue. Later on that evening Serena had managed to get away without having to dance with Darien and it was getting close to the end of the ball. Everyone was told to gather around the small stage-type podium because Queen Alaxia was going to make an announcement. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to thankyou all for coming to the welcoming ball for the royals of the Siver Millenium. The Silver Millenium is a powerful band of planets forming one world. We have agreed to join this Millenium. To ensure the peace a union of the Moon Princess when she is found and Prince Darien will take place. Thankyou again." Then the Queen left and all the visitors started to leave. Someone tapped Serena's back, she turned around startled. "I am glad I found you, I was wondering if I'd ever see you again." Darien said softly to Serena's ear. "But Prince Darien did you not hear? You are to marry the Moon Princess." Serena quickly escaped out the door to the front gate leaving the prince staring at nothing. 'I can't marry him!' Serena thought, 'What an idiot, he doesn't even care about people's feelings. I am not telling anyone I'm the Moon Princess until Darien is safely married to someone else.'
