Princess Meatball Head

Slowly things began to come back into focus. Serena was lying in her pink nook in her chamber. The other nooks were empty. But she seemed to hear whispering. There was a nock at the door, when it opened Queen Serenity stood in the door way. She looked at her daughter for a moment and the ran to her side.

The queen seemed to be fighting back tears, whereas the Princess was only fighting a headache. "I should have told you sooner, you could have been killed." Serenity said "What are you talking about mother?" "Oh Serena, you've been sent death threats, you and your friends. We never told you, and now because you didn't know you could have been killed."

Serena looked into her mother's eyes. She had kept this from her, for how long? As these questions circulated in her mind Serena came upon a horrid discovery. No matter how good she might be, her mother was not perfect. the trust she had in her had somehow been damaged and she felt frighteningly unprotected. "We will protect you though" he mother continued "I've hired some one to protect you at all times."

Now Serena was offended her mother thought she couldn't take care of herself "Mother, I'll be fine I don't need a babysitter." "Oh Serena I wish I could leave you alone, but it just isn't safe." "No!" Serena cried "I don't want someone following me every where I go. I'm 14 years old I can take care of myself please mother you'll take all the fun out of my life." Serena was surprised at how fast these words came out of her mouth. She was astonished all the more that she'd even said them, she had never flat out told her mother no.

There was a long and uncomfortable silence were in both Mother and daughter wondered what would become of things. The moment was broken by another knock at the door. The Queen rose to her feet and opened it. A young man stepped into the room. He was tall with dark hair and beautiful blue eyes. "Your majesty" he said bowing "Yes of course thank you for coming" the Queen turned sternly to he daughter "I think you should get to know this young man, the two of you will be spending a lot of time together."

The door closed and the young man took the Queen's eat at the foot of Serena's bed. She did not turn to look at him. She continued to stare out of her window at the earth set. "Well you are quite the talkative one aren't you." he said Serena remained silent "Well I am Darien, nice to meet you. You haven't told me your name so what shall I call you? Meatball Head, like your hair."

The Princess whipped around this guy was not going to make fun of her. "My name is Princess Serena" "We'll compromise" Darien informed her "Princess Meatball Head" "Listen" Serena shrieked "I don't need this from you and I don't need a baby-sitter! I need sleep so quiet down I'm going to bed."

Silence prevailed for about 2 minuets and then "Goodnight Princess Meatball Head." This guy had to go.

Having Darien around was worse then anything that Serena had ever had happen to her. It was worse then scenario she'd read in a manga book. This was so terrible the only person she'd ever think to wish it on was Darien. He seemed to be morally opposed to the thought of Serena enjoying herself. He nagged her about homework, over eating, day dreaming, writing fanfiction, and anything else she seemed to like.

Serena had taken to spending hours upon hours in the bathroom, soaking in the bathtub. As this was the only place she could go to get away from him she'd also moved her diary in there.

"This sucks" she was telling Luna almost a week after he attack "You shouldn't use language like that." Darien said without looking up from his book "Oh shut up!" she cried in exasperation "You shouldn't say that either Princess Meatball Head."

"Do you see what I have to put up with?" she said "I'm sorry" Luna purred "If it makes you feel any better all the other Princesses are being looked after." "I'll bet their baby-sitters don't score -1 on the personality scale.
