A/N: My first fanfic. I sincerely hope that you will read all the way to
the end. If not, I really do not blame you *muttering* stupid Patience.
SELENE'S SIDE OF THE STORY
The untold story of Queen Serenity's youngest daughter
Prologue
Patience sat bolt upright. She had been asleep, and had had the strangest dream.
Patience Takenori. That was her name. Her mother said they had called her that because she was patient. Her best friend Rini said that she was called Patience as a warning to others that extreme patience must be exercised with her. Rini got an earful after saying that.
Patience bent over to check her clock. Midday. She had been in her room since last night. There was a knock on the door. She ignored it.
"Uh, Patience.is it okay if I come in?" a boyish sounding voice asked from the other side of the door.
"No, Amber. Leave me alone," Patience replied mundanely.
"Patience, you've been in there for ages. Are you okay?" her sister persisted.
"I'm fine. Leave me alone," she answered in the same tone.
After that Patience heard footsteps and so assumed that Amber had left. Good, she didn't want anyone bothering her.
She had been in this mood for at least a week, and when she returned home last night she actually found people who weren't feeling the same way as her. That's what got her mad. Well, half of the reason, anyway. The other half was something else, something worse.
It had all started a week ago. Her team, the Moonlight Knights, were finalists in the Beyblade World Championship. She didn't believe it. After all their hard work they were standing here one more time. They were been given a chance to keep their title as World Champions, which they acquired last year. They were facing the Demolition Boys, and they were one of the toughest teams around. They were totally ready.except for one thing.
"Hey you guys, has either of you seen Gary?" Patience asked suddenly.
Both Ash and Rini looked up. Rini shook her head. "Hey you know, that's strange. I haven't seen him since he went out for a walk last night," Ash said, scratching his head.
"Well, he had better turn up, or else we'll have lost our team captain.and our only chance against Tala," said Rini menacingly.
"Would both teams please report to the arena for the first round of the finals," the referee said over the loudspeaker.
Patience tensed. Time to go and still no sign of Gary. What could have happened to him.?
"Any sign of Gary?" asked Ash. Patience shook her head. Rini did the same.
An electrical whirr sounded above them as the commentators started commentating.
"Hello and welcome everyone to the final rounds of the Beyblade World Championship! I'm your host Braaad Best along with A.J. Topper!"
"And Brad what a final it is going to be! Today we've got last years champions the Moonlight Knights up against the ruthless Demolition Boys!"
"Okay, well let's get started! First up we've got Patience of the Moonlight Knights facing Ian of the Demolition Boys!"
Patience walked up to the stadium. She looked up to face her opponent, but it wasn't Ian at all. In fact, it was a very familiar face.
Patience stared at the face opposite her, half in horror, half in disbelief. "Why did you do this Gary?" she whispered across the stadium. "Why?"
Gary said nothing but instead glared at her coldly.
"Okay, ready?" said the referee with a tiny quaver in his voice. "Three, two, one let it rip!"
It was the longest battle of Patience's life. Needless to say, they lost utterly. Gary was too much for her. After it was over, they all felt angry and betrayed. What remained of their team broke up.
Stupid, stupid Gary. Oh yes, if it was the last thing she did, she would pay the bastard back.
"Rao?" came from somewhere near her feet. Patience was startled, but only for a second.
"Oh, it's only you, Starfox," she whispered to the black cat at her feet.
Seeing Starfox reminded her of something, for some reason. The dream. Of course, how could she have forgotten? It was a very strange dream. There were only short flashes of scenes, none of which made sense. She knew for certain that there was a boy, a girl that looked somewhat like a princess, and.death. God, it was scary just thinking about it. Death.
Suddenly, she had a brilliant idea. Using what she could remember from that dream, she would write a story. Her story would be like her dream, except longer, and it would make more sense.
"What do you think Starfox, huh?" she asked her cat. Starfox miaowed happily as if in agreement.
So, Patience picked up a pen, found an empty exercise book and opened it in front of her. Then she realised she had forgotten one thing. What would the storyline be? Suddenly it came to her. When she was little, her grandmother had told her a story about a princess on the moon that was in love with a prince in the Earth. Then one day an evil queen came and tried to destroy the moon kingdom. The Earth prince fought for the moon, but he got killed. The princess did not want to be separated from her prince so she jumped after him, and also died.
Patience had really liked that story, so she was going to stick by it, but make a few changes. Her version wasn't going to be as.princessy, as the story her grandmother told her. So she picked up a pen, and started to write.
'Queen Serenity was the queen of the moon. She was also a mother of a sweet girl. But, unknown to many, Serenity had another daughter. This is the story of that other girl.'
A/N: Yay!!! You managed to read the whole prologue!!! I'm so happy :-D! Pretty please read and review, I need to know that someone is reading this. And also, I recommend reading Never is a Promise by lopotter. It is really excellent (hello and thank you if you are reading this!!!).
