Author's Note: Hello! I'm Neela-chan, nice to meet you. :) This is my first story, so it's a bit rough. I've actually had the idea for this story for quite some time, but I just never got the motivation to write it. Or post it, for that matter. I am in love with Greek/Roman Mythology, so this is loosely going to be based off of the Gods that the nine (I know it's eight, but Sailor Moon has Pluto still) planets of the solar system. But you know, I'm a HUGE Sailor Moon fan, so I just had to incorporate Takeuchi's characters and Sailor Moon has been my hero ever since I was a child. So when I found so many fanfiction stories about her, I felt like her legacy was still going on! I'm weird. After reading thousands of stories, I finally decided to make my own in hopes I can become an astounding writer just like all of my inspirations. So enough with my babbling, enjoy the story!
NO BETA, LOOKING FOR ONE. BEWARE OF MY FAILURES.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon, although if I did I would be rolling in glorious dough. Honestly. (Cover Photo courtesy of luciole from DeviantArt)
(Earth Dimension-Tokyo, Japan)
"SERENITYYYYYYYYY!" shouted a voice from afar.
Serenity Tsukino smiled warmly at the sight of her cousin, Mina Aino who was shouting to her as she ran to give her a hug. Not only was Mina her cousin, but her only closest friend from childhood. Ever since they were young, people would always mistake them for twins. The only difference was, Serenity had more of a silver tint in her blonde hair and styled it in a 'odango' form while Mina's had a pure gold tint in her straight blonde hair and Serenity's eyes were cerulean blue and Mina's eyes were cornflower blue.
"Gosh, Mina, quiet down! The whole school is going to hear you! And what did I tell you about calling me Serenity? It's too formal, call me Serena. We're in high school now anyways." Serenity laughed as she returned the hug to her long time friend.
"I'm sorry Serenity. I'm just so excited! It's the first day of high school. It's what we have been waiting for. Now marks the year of the beginning of our womanhood!" Mina proudly stated.
Serenity snorted at the idea, "Womanhood? Where did you get that crazy idea from, we're only fifteen for goodness sakes!" She didn't see the point in Mina's enthusiasm. What was so important about growing up? The way she saw it, growing up meant losing everything. You lost freedom and the joy of living, and in return you gained responsibility and rules.
"Yeah, Serena, but you're turning sixteen next week aren't ya? You're almost your own self! Aren't you excited?"
"On the contrary, Mina. I could be less excited. Sixteen is nothing more than just a mere number. There is nothing special about it. It's just one step closer to a boring and old life."
"You aren't even excited for your sweet sixteen party?" Mina gasped.
Serenity sighed, "the least bit."
"You know, Serena, sometimes you are unbelievable" Mina shook her head in disappointment.
RINGGGGG, RINGGGG.
"There's the school bell! What's your class for this year, Serena?" Mina shouted, distracted by the sudden noise. Clearly, Mina was WAY to excited for school. She looked like she could practically jump out of her pants
"1-D, how about you?" Serenity answered.
"Aw shucks, I have 1-B! Well, I guess I will talk to you later, Serena! Good luck!" and with that Mina dashed off.
'Good grief, she is way too enthusiastic about school', Serenity thought to herself.
Now, lets see if I can figure out this this school map... distracted in her reading, but she was stopped by what seemed like a pillar. "Oh, i'm sorry ex-"
"There is nothing to be sorry about. Just watch where you are going, freshman." the upperclassman glared at her as he struggled to fix his appearance and gather his fallen books.
As Serenity struggled to see whom had just insulted her, she mentally gasped. He was quite a sight for sore eyes. With a pair of midnight blue eyes and black hair that nicely combed, he looked like a model. She had never seen someone quite this handsome. She almost lost her train thought right when the man began to tap his feet as a sign of impatience and she snapped back into reality.
"Jeez, what's your problem?" Serenity was getting angry. Unbelievable! It was only her first day school at she was already getting picked on.
"My problem? I'm already late to class, thanks to you and I seem to be missing my pencil," he coldly commented as he scanned the hall for his missing pencil.
At that very moment Serenity realized she felt something very sharp on her butt. At the sudden realization she screamed in pain, "Owww, there is something poking my butt!"
The upperclassman rolled his eyes, "If you would please get your ass off the ground and give me my pencil I would appreciate it." clearly ignoring her pain.
Serenity stood up and gave the pencil, "Excuse me, I don't know who the hell you are but that gives you no right to talk to me in that manner, and me being a freshman is no excuse. You don't even know me. So do me a favor and get your head out of your ass and i'll be on my way. Goodbye!" she said as she started to walk off.
Oh! The nerve of some people. Serenity commented bitterly to herself.
"Someone is a bit too fiesty, eh?" The upperclassman mockingly commented on her behaviour.
Serenity turned around, "Fiesty? Oh, i'll show you fiesty." And with that Serenity kicked the upperclassman in the groin.
"Why you little-"
"Not so small for freshman now, aren't I?" Serenity sneered.
"Know your place, freshman!" The upperclassman practically shouted in rage.
"Does something seem to be the matter here? " Both students turned around, and to their surprise, came face to face with the principal, Ms. Michelle Kaiou. "Endymion Chiba, as student council president I expect you to be on your best behaviour towards our new freshman students."
Holy crap, this jackass is the president? Serenity cursed herself. Of course she had to kick the president in the groin. Fate was definitely in her favor.
Endymion saw the look on Serenity's face as she realized he was the President. "Yes, I apologize, Ms. Kaiou. I did not know she was an incoming freshman, as I thought she was just a normal delinquent that was rampaging our school halls again."
LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE! Serenity went ballistic. Who exactly was this guy fooling?! Was the Principal even dumb enough to believe this arrogant jerk?
"Is that so?" the principal raised her eyebrow.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Kaiou. It will not happen again." Serenity lowered her head in defeat, not wanting to piss off the principal on the first day of school.
"Now if you will excuse me, it must be off to class since I am already late enough as it is," Serenity rolled her eyes as she heard Endymion's accusation.
"Alright then, off you two should go." and with that the principal dismissed herself and them. Being the only one left in the hall, Serenity sprinted off to class while cursing her fate the whole way there.
Little did Serenity and Endymion know, their little encounter was being watched, and the wheels of destiny were set in motion.
(Chronos Dimension-The Door Of Space-Time)
"Ah, it seems the Moon incarnation is on the verge of her sixteenth birthday isn't she, Pluto?" the figure questioned.
"You saw a vision of the future, father Chronos?" asked another startled voice.
"Yes... but not a pleasant one of that," the figure closed his eyes, sighing in disappointment.
"May I question as to why you say that?" the voice asked
"Setsuna, my daughter, it means she will awaken soon,"
"You mean it is already the sixteenth year?" Pluto gasped at these words.
"Yes, it has almost been sixteen years since the death of Selenity, the last incarnation." the God Of Time stated.
"But... the awakening of the Moon Goddess, Selene, would only mean that our Millennium itself is danger, that can't be true. Is it?"
Chronos sighed. "Yes, it is, i'm afraid. It seems that the Silver Crystal of Moon is revived. And only when the peace of the nine planets is threatened, should the power of the crystal return"
Pluto was confused.
How was one small Goddess and some Crystal supposed to save the universe all by herself? What was her father thinking? "Well, what do you suppose we do until we wait for the Moon Goddess to awaken?"
"We simply wait." Chronos replied
"Why is that? Shouldn't we go awaken the Moon now before things are too late?" Pluto questioned, not understanding how her father could sit back and watch at a time like this. How could they wait? The fate of Earth and the galaxy along with it was at stake. And she was just going to watch it? No, they needed to act now, that was how she saw it. The sooner that Moon Goddess awakened, the better.
"All good things come with patience, my dear daughter. For now, we must let time run it's course and keep an eye on the goddess."
"But-"
"You will do as I say, Pluto. As the daughter of the God Of Time, you must not interfere with the course of it."
"As you wish, father." Pluto sighed in defeat. Her father was right. One little mistake could change the course of history itself, whether it was for the better or worse.
Okay, finished! Sorry, that was a boring chapter. But it gets better! I'm not really good at beginnings yet, so please spare me. I mean, the story needs some kinda introduction, am I right? Please rate and review! Flames, grammar checks, and criticism is welcomed. (:
