This is the second story in a series of four stories. The first
story was called "Queen Serenity's Childhood." Although you do not
need to read that story to understand or follow this one at all,
it would give you a background on the Queen of the Moon Kingdom at
this time as well as make some small details make more sense.
There will probably be about nine chapters in this story as well
as a prologue and an epilogue.
Note-Although i use the English dub names for my stories because
those are the only versions i have seen, i am not blind or
ignorant to the relationship Amara and Michelle truly have. If you
are too ignorant, prejudiced, or narrow minded to read about two
women in love then you might as well just hit the back button
right now because you'll be offended by this story. Although they
are not the major characters of this story, they are two of the
ten main characters, and i refuse to make them something they are
not. i accept them for who they are. If you cannot do the same,
this story is not for you.
Prologue, So We Meet Again:
Princess Serena got out of bed slowly. The dream she had
just woken up from still fresh in her mind. *He smiled and picked
her up again. Spinning her around and around. She looked down at
his kind brown eyes and smooth brown hair as the colors of brown
and green blurred around her. She squealed and giggled in
delight.* It was the only memory she had of her father. She sat
down at the white chair in front of her vanity table and mirror.
She brushed her hair coming from the two buns on top of her head,
running her fingers through it and enjoying the silky feeling as
she prepared to go see her friends for the first time since she
was four she was told though she could only vaguely recollect that
last meeting. The disagreements amongst many of the planets in
the Silver Millennium Alliance had caused the meetings among all
the planets in the Alliance to become much more common as well as
occur at a different location. Thus none of the princesses had
seen each other for four years now. Now that debates were becoming
much less common and tempers were much less fiery, the meetings
would return to occurring annually at the Moon Kingdom Palace.
*Well except for Mina,* Serena thought. Princess Mina and Princess
Serena had seen each other often in the last four years becoming
quite close. Mina was very quiet. Serena was sometimes quiet too,
but her passion often took over and caused her to become very
talkative. She went into the large room that was specifically
designed for children to have fun in. *Only mother would think of
something like this for us. Most of any of the other parents would
expect us to behave as princesses no matter what our age, and
princesses never do anything childish-or fun for that matter,* she
thought acerbically. Inwardly upset with those stuck up Kings and
Queens. Mina was in there waiting for her, and Serena lit up.
Serena sat down next to her silent friend who looked at her and
smiled a bit. Serena wrapped her arms around her softly and hugged
her close. "Love you best friend Mina," she said. Mina's blue
seven year old eyes filled with tears as she hugged her best
friend back. "Do not be scared Mina. I know we have not seen these
people in so long. It will be all right. I am right here with
you," she said, trying to reassure her frightened, timid friend.
Mina looked at her and smiled and even giggled a little when
Serena stuck her tongue out in a weird fashion.
Princess Raye, the only one as old as Serena in the inner
solar system anyway, was the first to arrive. As soon as she
entered Serena was left with a cold feeling. She owned the room
from the moment she walked in. Mina whimpered and scooted closer
to and behind Serena. Serena scooted in front of her while
holding her hand behind her back. Raye sneered. "She too much of
a wimp to fight her own battles?" she asked harshly. Mina
whimpered again. Serena's eyes narrowed. Despite being afraid of
this black haired, black eyed raven girl, she would not have
anyone insult or hurt her dearest friend.
"Back off," Serena said angrily.
Raye sneered again. "You do not have much more of a
backbone do you wimp?"
"What is your problem?" a quiet yet strong and confident
voice asked from the doorway. An older girl with shoulder length
sea blue hair and eyes that spoke of the depths of the oceans
stood in the doorway. She entered.
"Who are you?" Raye asked coldly.
"Michelle of the planet Neptune."
"Raye of the planet Mars," Raye said haughtily.
"I suppose you think you are so much better than any of
us? Leave those two alone."
"Or what?" Raye sneered.
"Or you will have to deal with me and Amara of Uranus
when she gets here."
"I am not scared of you two," Raye announced.
The blond haired Amara with eyes of many colors, green
and blue dancing in them, entered the room brusquely. "You should
be," she said, her fists clenched and her eyes glaring at the
fiery Princess of Mars.
Raye smirked at her but turned around haughtily and sat
down in another part of the room alone. Amara's face remained
emotionless as the ten year old sat down near Serena and Mina.
Michelle joined her. Mina peeked out from behind Serena. "There
is nothing to be scared of," Michelle said gently.
"That is right. We would not harm you kid," Amara
promised. Mina slowly scooted out near Amara, and Amara held her
hand comfortingly. Serena looked up to see a quiet girl with long
blue hair enter the room. Michelle followed Serena's gaze and
stood up to say hi to the Princess of Mercury.
"Hello, I am Michelle of Neptune."
"Hello, I am Amy of Mercury," Princess Amy responded
softly, looking into Michelle's deep ocean blue eyes with her own
dark blue eyes. She sat down next to them, but she pulled out a
book and began reading it. Michelle smiled and looked back at
Serena, Amara, and Mina. Serena was about to ask Amy about the
book she was so interested in reading when a girl with long brown
hair in braids entered the room. She looked around, her eyes
swiftly passing over the group of girls and resting on Raye
sitting by herself in another area of the room. She began to walk
towards Raye.
"I would not do that," Michelle cautioned.
"Yes, she is really mean and scary," Serena said, trying
to warn the petite brown haired girl.
She turned to them. Her chocolate brown eyes were set in
determination as she said, "Yeah well, so am I. Maybe we have
something in common," and walked over to the Princess of Mars
swiftly. Raye looked at her coldly but said nothing. "I am Lita
of the planet Jupiter, and you are Raye of Mars right?"
"Correct," Raye said frostily.
Lita sat down next to her anyway. Although the two did
not seem to speak at first, Serena noticed that they were soon
absorbed in conversation. *Well at least someone understands
Raye and can keep her company,* Serena thought in astonishment.
Michelle jumped up as an older, teenage girl with long, silky
green hair walked in calmly. "Trista," she said quietly.
Trista nodded at her. "Michelle," she responded quietly.
Serena stood up too, seeing Mina was content and safe
with Amara. "I am Serena of the Moon."
"Trista of the planet Pluto," Princess Trista said
politely. She sat down with them though her light crimson eyes
had a faraway, distant look in them.
Serena was intrigued by her, but not as intrigued as she
was by the next to enter. A young girl, four to be exact, with
short black hair and flinty black eyes entered mysteriously. Her
hair was chopped in such an odd fashion, and she looked so
small, thin, and frail. Mina looked up at her. Her eyes
locked with the girl, a silent understanding passing between
them that no one else understood though Trista, Michelle, and
Amara all took note of it.
She stood there silently as Serena approached her
cautiously. "Hello, I am Serena of the Moon, and you are?"
"Hotaru of Saturn," she responded so quietly Serena
could barely hear her.
"Please will you sit with us?" Serena asked kindly.
Hotaru nodded and after looking around the room in awe,
sat down silently. She and Mina continued to look at one
another though they were some distance away from one another.
The last to enter, and perhaps the most interesting
since he was the only male of the group, was Prince Darien of
Earth. Serena remembered him well. Besides Mina, he was the
only one clear in her mind. His smooth dark black hair and dark
blue eyes stood out in her mind. She jumped up, trying to hide
her excitement when he entered the room. She approached him, but
he turned his back and walked towards Raye and Lita.
Disappointed and hurt, Serena sat back down with the rest of the
princesses, smiling so as not to show her hurt.
The time passed uneventfully. Raye and Lita talked
between each other the whole time. Darien interjected a word
here and there, but for the most part he was sitting there
drawing. Lita did ask him curiously what he was drawing at one
point, stating that it looked like a fort. However, he loudly
told her to mind her own business and that he could not divulge
such confidential information under any circumstances. Serena
smiled in amusement. Despite the fact that he was nearly eleven
years old now, she felt such a strong connection with him. She
mainly talked with Amara and Mina. Although Mina did not talk
she appeared to be mostly listening though looking at Hotaru
the whole time. Hotaru remained silent, glancing around the
room occasionally in awe, but mainly staring back at
Mina's sparkling blue eyes. Trista and Michelle were also
conversing about something that none of them really understood.
Amara said she knew a little about it since she had heard them
talk about it often, but she assured them it was too
complicated for even her mind to understand. Besides she was
sure it was not worth hearing about. Michelle playfully nudged
her elbow, glaring at her in a teasing manner when she said
that. Amy remained completely absorbed in the book she was
reading.
