Romeo And Juliet
Chapter 1
This is chapter one of my story. This is a Lita/Heero fic. It is based on Romeo & Juliet
by William Shakespeare. Please send reviews. Now I have to chase Angel M. around in attempts to kill her for hiding all my clothes this morning so I was late.
Disclaimer: What makes you think that if I owned GW or Sailor Moon!?!? If I did do you think I'd be on this piece of crap! And for all you people who want to get tech-ni-cal, I do not own any of these characters. *Angel M. comes over and comforts Angel*
His gentle hand, holding me close to his beating heart. Whispering to me and I laugh. Standing under the moonlit sky we share a kiss, united with a touch. Then, the stars started to fall, and the earth shook beneath our feet. We were separated as the ground tore us from each other. Screaming his name, I reached for his hand. I had failed to retrieve my love as he fell into the darkness of the depths of the earth.
"Nooooooooooooooooo!!!" I wailed.
I awoke in a cold sweat. The room around me was spinning, and I tried to regain my strength to move. For the longest minute I sat there, staring at my reflection in the mirror across from my bed. I was crying, or had been crying. I arose from the silk sheets of my bed, and stumbled over to my closet. My room was in gold, everything was encrested in moonstones. I loved my room, it was the only thing I was proud of.
Me, my name is Lita. I have brown hair that falls to my hips, and green eyes that shine fancier than any crystal, as my mother says. I was wearing my silk, white nightgown that shone clearly from the sun through the curtains. I was tall for my age, which was sixteen. My mother was excited because this was the year that I was to find a husband and wed. I wasn't really excited about the man that my parents had picked out for me. I was princess of the Earth, and he was a complete stranger from the planet Xerion.
I ran my fingers over the soft fabrics until I found the perfect dress. It was a long, red dress that I had received on my birthday. It had spaghetti straps, and came down in a v-neck, and two slits that came up to my hips. I was also very slender, which every woman envied. I lived in The Crystal Palace of Tokyo, where I had over three-hundred rooms and servants. I quickly got dressed, then walked over towards the royal chambers, which was where I was prepared by thirteen servants for the day.
I walked in, and the dream came back into my mind. Like it was reminding me of the nearest future that would haunt me for the rest of my life. I nodded to the servants as I sat in my chair. They started to work, as I thought of my meeting today with my "future husband". Oh, how I wish I could be free, and to marry by my choice of man. It seemed like hours before they finished. I was in three satin robes, over my favorite dress, and my hair was brushed one-hundred strokes, like my mother always said.
I thanked them and walked out to the stairs, and I saw my father with the chief of the High Council. They were having a meaningless conversation on the pact between us and another one of our fellow worlds. I walked down the stairs towards the kitchen. In there, I saw my mother and one of the cooks.
"Hi dear. How did you sleep?" My mother asked.
"As well as can be expected." I smiled at her.
"Well, I hope you remember that we are hosting a party tonight, and your costume is laying on your bed. Be in the chambers by six-thirty, so that way you can be down at the party by eight." My mother explained to me.
"I will mother, you can count on me as always." I told her.
"Good, now eat your breakfast and then we will start preparations before meeting your future husband." My mother winked at me.
I smiled at her. If only she knew that I was unhappy inside. It was always hard to keep to myself, and I always wanted someone to talk to, not just a husband. I tried to choke down my food, but I didn't have much of an appetite. My mother sat across from me, obviously staring into her own world. I wondered if there was a man out that was as great as my dad. He and mom hadn't been so happy lately because they had been busy making preparations for me. I swallowed the last bite, and excused myself from the table.
Well, that's chapter one! Hoped you liked it. Get the next chapter, because I really think you will like this story.
