Moonlight Densetsu

I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing

Chapter One -The Queen and Pink-Haired Menace

--+--

"I wonder what the others are up to?" asked the bored princess of the moon to nobody in particular. This young girl was Princess Chibi-Usa. She had pink hair wrapped up in two cone-shaped 'odangoes', with the rest of her hair hanging down in curled streamers. She had big cinnamon-colored eyes that showed her innocence and curiosity for a number of things. Such as where babies come from and why her mommy cries a lot and acts like she's always ok.

Young Chibi-Usa was a precocious child. All the same, that didn't keep her from being like any other rebellious five year old. To her, lessons in etiquette were a waste of time. In private when she and her mother would talk about whatever popped into their heads Serenity had agreed with her. Surprisingly, considering the fact that in public her mother would act like the graceful, intelligent, beautiful queen everyone thought her to be but when alone would act like a young teenager with plans of finding love again.

That was something Chibi-Usa loved about her mother, how she knew when to act strong and then herself. She tried to as well, thus causing some to think she was just a spoiled and paranoid little princess who thought she was better than everybody. In reality she was as sweet as her cotton candy-colored hair. A side she only showed to those close to her. Such as her future advisor, Diana. Who didn't act like much of an advisor since their plans of mischief and trouble were usually her idea.

Sighing, Chibi-Usa stared out the window of her large room filled with stuffed bunnies and plushy pink pillows. It had been raining all day long and that stuck her inside the large crystal palace that was her home. The only good part was that her mommy told her that rain would make the flowers grow big and beautiful and the rainbow that would be seen when the clouds lost their grayness.

Chibi-Usa wanted to go to the library, a place of solitude and where some of the kind old servants would give her milk and cookies and read her stories about fairies and knights in shining armor.

But she knew she couldn't risk it! You see, Chibi-Usa was avoiding a certain someone. A someone who was the prince of Jupiter! He was staying for the weekend and when she found out why from her mommy... whew! Terror struck in her eyes.

Prince Quatre was to be her betrothed!

Okay... so Chibi-Usa didn't really know what that meant but she knew it couldn't be good! Why not pick one of the twins on Mars? They were more... what was the word? Erotic? No... Exotic looking! After all, Phobos had two different colored eyes! What was cooler than that? So what if when the little bunny was four she thought they were funny?

If it weren't bad enough that he was her betrothed, everyone knows that boys have cooties! And princes had even more! Her mother had attempted earlier that day to get her to have lunch with Quatre but she lied and said she couldn't come out because her face was covered in big purple spots! This 'disease' was apparently very contagious. Her mother never doubted her word and went off to tell Quatre that his date wouldn't be attending their p.b. & j. sandwich fiesta, she'd had a hard time controlling her giggles, the queen that is.

And it wasn't really a lie since she'd already come up with the plan before then. Taking a purple magic marker from her drawing desk she'd managed to decorate her face accordingly. Chibi-Usa forgot about the mirror in the bathroom and nearly poked herself in the eye but other than that her disease caused her little pain. Plus she smelled like raspberries!

'Scented markers are the coolest,' she had thought at the time.

The pink-haired five year old found herself thinking about a lot of different things. Rainy days do that to you, and much like her own mother, Chibi-Usa hated thinking.

She wondered how the moon was as green as the Earth was and how from far away it looked silver. She wondered if there were a magic shield around it to protect them from the bad earth people. She wondered why the earth people were bad. She wondered if her mommy could make them good with her crystal. Then she looked up with a look a triumph! Maybe she could use her own Pink Moon Crystal! Surely that could help the earthlings! Maybe she and her mommy could both use their crystals to help them! Afterall, one of Chibi-Usa's life-long dreams was to do something in the name of her father Endymion! He was human so that when she died and went to heaven they could see each other and he would say she was the most prettiest, most bestest moon/earth princess there ever was! A dream that occured often at night for her.

Jumping off of the window sill she once sat at she ran over to where her pink communicator lay. All the chibi senshi had them! Except Quatre's was green since pink was for girls only.

She pressed the yellow button and waited for the face of her best friend to appear, Diana, who was Sailor Chibi-Luna.

"Chibi-Usa?" came the familiar voice and face as Diana appeared on the small screen.

"Hey Diana! I have a really cool idea! It's the bestest idea I ever came up with and I need you to do something for me!" she said excitedly.

"Well...? What's this bestest idea?" Diana was a cut-to-the-chase little four-and-a-half year old. But her language skills weren't that bad for her age since her lessons were taught by her own mother. Luna was Chibi-Usa and Diana's teacher. She taught them letters and numbers. Like her mom, Diana liked knowing things so for her, school was awesome. Chibi-Usa considered it a 'drag'.

"I'm gonna help the Earth people! And I'm gonna get mommy to help! We can use our power to heal the Earth! That way they'll be nice and we can go see what Earth is like like we always wanted to! But I have to tell mommy the plan first and to do that I have to make sure that Q-senshi stays away from me or I'll get his prince-y cooties and we'll be betrothed! So you have to keep him outta the way!"

Diana looked thoughtful for a second, "Okay! But for this you better let me have your cookie at dinner!" typical, Diana had learned from her father Artemis that you should always get something for something! Or something like that.

Chibi-Usa nodded to her gray-haired friend and turned her communicator off with a quick good-bye. She had to get ready! She was still in her baby blue pjs and had to get those nasty spots off her face. Auntie Minako had always taught her that she always had to look her best when in public!

Rushing off to the bathroom with one of her pretty white dresses she got ready. Meanwhile Diana had convinced Quatre that going outside and being the first to see the rainbow would bring him good luck and great beauty. Of course he hoped they saw it at the same time and he only got the luck part.

Neo Queen Serenity stared down at the letter from her dear friend Ami. She sat in her office/study. And she was lucky enough to have gotten a big cool spinning chair from Luna as a birthday present last year. An odd one since it came from her advisor and Luna usually would have thought that something like that was a waste of money. Then she heard from Artemis that it was Diana's idea.

It all really made sense since Diana from that day on came into her study saying she just had to spin around on the big spin-y chair because her life depended on it. Serenity thought of getting one for Luna, that way Diana wouldn't hog hers and she could get a little more work done. Not that she wanted to do all that work, but she had learned quickly that the more she did during the weekdays the more relaxing her weekend could be. Lucky for her it was Saturday and all she had to do was write to her beloved friends.

Serenity glanced out the to-the-floor-to-the-roof windows. The windows name' given by her daughter. The rain had lightened up a bit and the thunder had ceased. Good thing too since she was still afraid of thunder. A fear that would probably never be cured. She was fine with being scared of it anyway. Being afraid of some things make a person more human. Or in this case, Lunarian.

The queen was a person you couldn't help but like. Sure she had a few enemies but those people were drop dead evil and some Martians... cough-Rei-cough not that they weren't still best friends (even thought they fight like they're their children's age) they hung out as often as possible when the press conferences were over and birthday parties for Makoto's children were done. Serenity wondered sometimes how Makoto kept track of them all. She always thought how cool it was for Makoto's son Quatre to be the first male sailor senshi. Minus the mini-skirt, of course.

The 'Mega Bunny' - as sometimes called by Diana - was the perfect image of a queen. Beautiful, smart, funny (sometimes unintentionally) and with a super powerful crystal that could destroy the entire universe. Not that Serenity would ever dream of doing something like that.

Her hair was long. Really long. And a golden blond color, it brushed the floor when pulled up into her 'odangoes'. The twin buns she always wore was the traditional hair style for the royal family. And she liked them. They made her look like... well, her! She had cerulean blue eyes that showed her many different emotions such as happiness, sadness, regret, and sometimes anger. One peek and you could drown.

When at her full height she could look rather intimidating. 5'5" was pretty tall for her, since she used to be a half pint. Sometimes it wasn't size though, many times it was her aura. One that showed power and grace. As well as made men fall to her feet. Of course her friend Minako had that as a bigger problem since she didn't have a daughter to win over and had to deal with men proposing on sight.

She stared down at Ami's letter, reading it, but not quite comprehending what it said. But that might have something to do with the fact that Ami used big complicated words all the time- as many Mercurians do- even when asked she stated that it was easier to speak with the words 'ostentacious' or 'cornucopia' and even 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'. Of course not many knew that Ami wrote in 'normal' words to her queen. So what was up with the Mega Bunny?

Dear Usagi-chan, (May 28th)

I hope you're doing well. I'm sure you've been busy as well as the other senshi. I worry about you too. Are you all right? I know that with your position you are prone to deal with stress and what Minako calls 'white-hairs'. (1)

It's been raining over here since Thursday. Much of it has frozen too, I see the children ice-skating every day. How their parents let them out there to soak I don't know. :)

Write back soon! And send Chibi-Usa-chan my love!

P.S- Stay yourself Usagi-chan! To us you will always be our cheerful Bunny of the Moon! Not just the queen that rules over the Silver Alliance! You mean somuch to me- adn ew ophe thaaattt yooo nvre chage...

Aaaamy Mizuuna

'What...?' Serenity blinked her eyes several times, but the jumbled letters didn't change. Soon a pain filled her head and all went black for our dear bunny of the moon...

Little Princess Chibi-Usa knocked on the door of her mommy's office-place. She spent alot of time in there during the week. Doing 'big people things', her Auntie Luna would say. She usually wasn't supposed to go in when the door was closed but this was important!

Not getting an answer Chibi-Usa wondered if her mommy was having an important meeting. Several times she'd caught her taking a nap. So with a shrug she opened the door and stepped in.

She looked across the room where the wooden desk was, where her mother's head lay on it.

'Well... this is funny,' she thought. Maybe she could see what that important piece of paper in her mommy's hand was. And so she did.

Chibi-Usa stared at the parchment-like sheet of paper. At the bottom was the seal of the Queen of Mercury, meaning it was from Ami! She continued to stare at it blankly. You see, being only five years old, Chibi-Usa couldn't really read that well. But she could read Ami's name, and her name, and her mommy's nickname at the top! That was a start.

She could also see that day's date. Chibi-Usa was proud of being able to read some of the smaller words too! Like the P.S. bit. Even though she wasn't sure what the two letters meant.

The princess looked over to her mom, she set down the letter and nudged her mommy's arm. No reaction. That was normal since there was no-one lazier or harder at waking up. Besides herself.

This time Chibi-Usa reached over and shook her mom's arm harder. Still nothing. Not even a groan of 'Lemme alone!' came. She frowned slightly, her mommy hadn't looked sleepier before. She resorted to the use of her voice.

Ever heard of music soothes the savage beast? Well, screaming isn't music.

"MOMMY! Wake up!" she yelled into her mommy's left ear.

Nothing.

Now Chibi-Usa was scared. Surely her mommy would have heard that! The servants downstairs probably had! Unless...

"Luna! ARTEMIS! Mommy's DEAD!" came the really, really loud screech of the princess of the moon.

"WaaaaahhhhhHHHH!"

I've decided to re-do this fic as well, hope you don't mind the changes! ;)
