Summary: Serena wasn't always perfect, her childhood days are filled with memories of being inferior to her cousin Relena. Her parents, her kingdom, the household help all dotted on perfect Relena and always shakes their head at Serena, the scrawny little brat who doesn't deserve to be called a princess. Holding a grudge, she ran away and after 6 years returned to come back to claim the throne that was rightfully hers.
Chapter 1a Princesses Aren't Always Perfect
Serena Peacecraft laughed gaily running like the wind, back in the vast patch of grass in her family's estate. Her dress was torn, muddy and her hair was a mess. It was already mid-afternoon, Serena's blue eyes widened some more as she realized she was late in meeting some dignitaries from the colonies.
"Oh no!" Serena exclaimed running hastily back to the palace.
"Now where have you been young lady?" Her nanny, Millie asked nostrils flaring. Serena squirmed under her gaze and apologized profusely. Her nanny shook her head at her disappointedly and grabbed her arm dragging her back to her room to change her dirty clothes.
"Don't give me a hard time now, Princess." Millie warned as she undressed her and placed her at the tub. Serena squealed and tried to get away. "OH NO.you are not gonna give me anymore trouble today. It's a good thing that your older cousin Relena is here to greet those guests. That should have been you're responsibility." The nanny spoke disapprovingly at her.
After the bath, Serena stared at herself in the mirror. She frowned at the many ruffles and laces of her dress and looked weakly to her nanny. Millie glared at her enjoying her discomfort. Serena stood up with a hmph and tried to walk out the door.
"Where do you think you're going?" Millie asked with a growl. "Downstairs." Serena answered snottily. "No, you can't go down yet. You're parents have to lie for the reason of you're absence. They said you're sick so you're going to stay sick until tonight." Millie told her angrily. Serena scowled but went back to her head. "You may leave me now." Serena spoke with irritation. The nanny walked out muttering obscenities about Serena not being a very appropriate princess.
After awhile, she went back to sit in front of her huge vanity mirror and stared criticizing herself at her reflection. She made faces at it and mimic the several faces her nanny made when she scolded her. She wasn't usually so snotty with the household help but Millie was so snotty herself. Millie was the new nanny who replaced Lita a week ago. Serena still didn't understand why Lita has to be replaced but according to her mother, Lita always allow Serena to go wherever she wants and was not watching her enough.
"SO what?" Serena thought. "Lita knows that I can take care of myself."
She went back to stare at herself in the mirror. She squinted at her reflection and scrutinizes herself. Soon moonlight reflected through her balcony and she stood up to make her entrance.
"Serena! You're well now!" Her mother greeted her kissing her lightly at her cheek. Serena had on a monotonous expression. She always hated this parties.they make her feel inferior. The people were stuck-up and full of themselves. She'd rather dine with peasants any day than listen to this people brag.
Serena surveyed the ballroom and found her cousin talking to several important figures in the society. Her cousin looked stunning, since she was older and already 16 while Serena was still 10, Relena's body was far more developed. When people compared her they never minded the age difference and instantly declared that Relena was more beautiful. (AS IF!) Relena always brag that if people only talk to each other there would be no more wars, Serena thought that the idea was stupid, and was surprised when people praised her cousin for it.
Relena was an idealist while she was a realist. Serena already understand concepts about the human world and their instinct to fight. Serena fidgeted as her mother, graceful as ever introduced her to the President of some country. Serena was relieved as her mother finished the introductions to some nobles they were the last. The nobles and several others hid their displeasure at Serena's lack of attention to their bragging.
Serena breathed a sigh of relief as she realized that her duties were over.
"Serena! Over here!" Her cousin Relena waved her over.
Serena secretly groaned and wondered what her 'PERFECT' cousin wants with her.
"Good evening, Relena." Serena greeted with a curtsy trying not to show any signs of disgust. She stared with curiosity at the boys surrounding her cousin. She looked expectantly for any introductions.
"Oh how rude of me!" Relena exclaimed with false pretenses. She never considered her little cousin to be important. Relena only thought that it would be civil and appropriate to call her over and greet her.
"These are my new bodyguards." Relena nodded pointing. "Meet Duo, Quatre, Trowa and Wufei." Serena curtsied politely to them but stared interestedly at Duo. Relena turned her back on her and chatted to Quatre. Duo noticed Serena's gaze and was feeling kinda awkward.
"Whatcha lookin at kid?" Duo asked smiling.
"Your braid is so long." Serena said with a bit of amazement.
"Yeah.well." Duo said embarrassed.
"Serena! It's not proper to gawk at people." Relena scolded righteously.
Serena secretly rolled her eyes. She flashed the group a smile and went up the stairs.
She watched the party from the gallery at the second floor. She was BORED, BORED, BORED. Her ears perked up and a her eyes lighted up in delight as she heard the name of her friend being announced arriving.
"MINA!" Serena yelled not containing her excitement anymore. Forgetting thoughts of how to act in public she picked up the hem of her skirts and rushed down the stairs. She missed the sounds of disapproval from the guests as she took the steps two at a time. Serena unluckily lost her step and was soon falling headfirst down the stairs.
He mother let out a horrified scream, and the guests who were shaking their heads of disapproval now had their breaths intake at the scene before them.
