Summary: Just a little (or possibly big, not sure yet -_-') story with all the usual clichés. A royal princess and a certain prince are engaged against their will and also of their four guardians. Discover how each of them will find their inner desires.

Chapter One

'You wished my presence, mother?' A soft tinkling voice rang across the grand hall where presently the Queen sat on her throne. Queen Serenity was to outsiders a cold yet cunning Queen who never let her emotions get the best of her. But to the court of the Moon Kingdom, she was a caring and kind-hearted woman albeit one who kept a distance.

To the blonde blue-eyed girl who spoke, she was a Queen and mother who always put her people first. Someone who Serena must strive to act like, her mother was her example, always a good Queen first, a mother second.

'Serena, you are aware that your 18th birthday is but a month away?' 'Of course mother.' How could she not know of it, the palace had been abuzz about it for a while now, practically non-stop. Especially Serena's four personal guardians and best friends. Why Mina had waltzed into her room each morning with a different ballgown saying that this gown was perfect for the party celebrations.

Serena sighed. It wasn't like she wasn't excited about her birthday, I mean how many girls get a Palace Ball held for their 18th birthday? (Not me! -_- ) However Serena was so sick of all the preparations! All the dress fittings, discussing invitation lists and dinner placements, were enough to bore anyone senseless. Serena would rather be outside practicing sword fighting or archery or even horse riding but nooooooo she was stuck inside deciding which flower to have as centerpiece.

Stupid flowers! No one is going to notice if they don't match the chairs and tables and carpet and every other godforsaken thing in the room!

'-the peace.' Ended the Queen.

'Err... Could you please repeat that mother?' blushed Serena. Queen Serenity frowned. Her daughter was always so .. so.. spacey. The Queen knew of Serena's habit of running away from etiquette classes and other such things, to go fight with the stable boys or challenge the guards to duels. Serena couldn't remember which fork to use at dinner if her life depended on it but ask her a question about swords or weapons and she'll give you a lecture. If it wasn't for the fact that Serena had proven herself capable as Sailor Moon, the Queen wouldn't allow her daughter to be doing such manly things. It was on the condition that Serena behaves as lady-like as possible in front of others that she was allowed to do the activities which she so clearly enjoyed.

'I said.. As you are now of an age, I have decided to betroth you to a handsome young prince of Earth. The marriage will be quite an advantage for us and will help keep the peace.'

Serena's jaw dropped. Betrothed? Marriage?

'The prince and his royal guard will arrive in time for your birthday celebration and I will announce it then. You are dismissed.' Said the Queen, her features betraying nothing.

Serena curtsied and left. Inside her head one word kept revolving round and round. Marriage???

..ooOoOOOoOoo..

After that eye-popping news, Serena went to find her best friends to talk it over with. She found them in the Royal Princess garden where only her and the guardians were allowed entry. It was their sanctuary away from palace rules and allowed them to be more relaxed.

The four ladies stopped talking when they saw Serena approach. She was walking but not taking in where she was going. Serena was all lady-like in front of her mother but in the gardens she was as loud and rude as any guard when she wanted to be.

'Rena?' Mina called, waving a hand across Serena's face. Mina was the leader of the guardians. She was tall, fair and blonde. She was one of those people who are always smiling with a few kind words to say.

'Hellloooo? Anybody or thing up there??" asked Raye as she pounded on Serena's head. Raye was a warrior at heart. She had long raven hair and a very short temper. She was well taught in all forms of martial arts and made sure the other girls were too. This snapped Serena out of her daze.

'My mother just betrothed me to some prince of Earth.' Serena said softly. She looked up to some major guilty faces. 'You KNEW? And didn't TELL ME??!!!' Serena plopped down and burst into tears. 'Betrayed by those I trusted the most! What has the world come to?' She continued to wail and all birds in vicinity immediately flew away.

'Oh cut the dramatics, Sere. We only found out yesterday.' pleaded Lita surprised that she still had her hearing. Lita was a great cook. She could have people lining up for miles to taste some of her dishes if she wanted but mostly she was happy to make sure that her friends esp. Serena was well- fed.

'What if he is an ugly perverted old man huh? How would you feel then? I would've lost a day in which I could've run away or something.' Serena thankfully stopped crying and was now poking Raye, much to her annoyance.

'Actually we checked for you. We questioned many people and they all say that the Prince..... Darien is his name, is quite handsome with many ladies willingly throwing themselves at his feet.' Said Ami surrounded by books which she was constantly reading. Ami was the intelligent one, she was short and petite. Ami never lost her temper and is always so confident.

'What if he's a handsome perverted old guy who bonks every girl he sees then? What would I do then?' for all her ditzy-ness Serena was still rather naïve and was waiting for her knight in shining armor to sweep her off her feet.

Mina sighed and wrapped an arm around Serena. 'If he is a pervert then he would personally answer to us.'

'We'll give him a pounding he'll never forget!' Raye smiled always looking for a fight. 'That's only if he is a pervert right?' questioned Ami who was backing away from a smiling maniac Raye.

'We'll be here.' Assured Lita and Serena felt much better.

These four guardians were the girls Serena grew up with. They were like sisters to her and they were protective. They had chased away many an unwanted suitor and were constantly looking out for Serena. The four girls were quite beauties and had suitors themselves but decided to focus most of their time on protecting Serena.

How much trouble can one lousy prince cause when she had four big sisters and friends such as these?

Do your worst. She mentally challenged the Prince, coz you won't be accepted so easily.

...oOoOOoOoOo.....

Meanwhile, on the humble planet of Earth....

'What do you mean engaged?? How dare you plan my life without my consent! Do you care for me at all?' Prince Darien was not taking the news well. He paced back and forth in the throne room while his parents tried to calm him down.

'I hear she is a lovely sweet little thing with a beauty that could charm the birds from the tress.' Said the King, 'and she is gifted in the arts of dancing, painting, sing-'

'Look. It has already been arranged and can not be undone. We need this for the peace of the two kingdoms. Do you wish us to be at war with the Moon? Many lives have been saved at the cost of you going to meet a beautiful girl on the Moon. Is that so bad?' stated the Queen. (I'll give them names later.)

'You don't understand a thing!' shouted Darien before storming out of the room.

Both King and Queen sighed. For they did understand. The whole palace understood. When Darien was a mere boy finally becoming attracted to members of the opposite sex, he was infatuated with a visiting princess, Beryl. Beryl was older than he was and played the poor boy as a fool. She led him on and publicly humiliated him before departing with another man leaving poor Darien heartbroken. Ever since then, Darien disliked girls. He didn't avoid them or anything, in fact he was a ladies man, he led them on then dumped them soon after. Now he was stuck with some girl and he absolutely hated it. The Queen abhorred his disrespect for females and kept introducing him to nice ladies from her court to no avail.

The last girl left in tears and said she was never coming back. This was the last straw to the Queen which led to the engagement. 'He will learn love if it's the last thing I do.' declared the Queen. The King shook his head. Mother and son were both as stubborn as mules.

......oOOooOOoooOOo....

Darien was in his training room, pounding the life out of a sandbag when his guardians entered.

'Oi Dare! Whatcha so worked up about mate?' asked Zoicite. (is that how u spell it?) Zoicite was the brains of the group. He was cool, calm and collected. If you ever needed a clear mind it was he that u went to.

'I am now officially engaged to some bubblehead from the moon!' grunted Darien still pounding away.

'Is she cute?' asked Jeditite, or Jed as he was known.

'That bubblehead is the Princess and heir to the Kingdom of the Moon.' Drawled Nephlite. Nephilte was tall and had long wavy hair. He was the most athletic of the four and loved to go horse-riding.

'Princess Serena? I hear she is a total babe.' Replied Jed, who like Darien is quite the ladies man and has an ego the size of an elephant. He is also the most hot-tempered of the group and had a tendency to blow his top off over small matters.

'Looks mean nothing when she can't complete a sentence without giggling or fainting or straining her brain.' Said Malachite. Malachite had long silvery hair and eyes. He was the quietest one, also the coldest. He was not as popular as Nephlite of Jedite at the palace because of his frequent habit to brush people off and ignore them. This of course sent the ladies wild, always claiming to be the one to melt his cold exterior yet they were all rejected.

The four guardians along with their Prince made women weak at the knees. All five were hot eligible men with no small number of willing women. However that was it. They never had a relationship longer than two weeks. They were the playboy elite. Sure they were polite and chivalrous as any gentleman but come the next day and they didn't know you even existed.

The guardians knew what had happened to Darien and they all agree that women were good for nothing but sex and perhaps a good prank or two.

'Don't worry,' said Jeditie, 'we'll terrify this girl so bad she'll be begging you to leave.' The others all agreed.

Just you wait little bubblehead. I'm gonna give you your worst nightmare. Thought Darien as he smirked, feeling better already.
