Chapter 1: Preparation for the Royal Wedding
"This is a story concerning the events revolving around the marriage of Mamoru and Usagi. This is classified information that I have stored in my 'senshi files,' just for your viewing pleasure. Who am I? He, he. Well you'll just have to find out won't you?"
Usagi woke up, and gave a loud yawn and stretch. She looked at her clock in alarm when she realized "ah I'm late!" Running out of the room in nothing but a nightgown and fuzzy slippers, she panicked and ran down the stairs only to see Rei, fully dressed, and waiting at the bottom of them.
"It's about time you got your lazy ass up." Rei said to her a bit annoyed at the moon princess.
"I know that Rei-chan! I don't need a scolding from you right now; I'm already late enough for my own wedding." Usagi screamed at Rei, and started running around in a panic "now what to get done first? Where's Minako-chan, she said she was going to do my hair and make-up! I wanted to get that done first, don't tell me that she's running late as well…"
At that Rei just busted out laughing. "What's so funny Rei-chan; I was already stressed out enough as it is before when I was planning this wedding, the fact that I'm late makes me even more stressed! Now just do something, help me Rei-chan!"
"Silly Usagi-chan, I changed the time on the clock in your bedroom. You're actually up a whole two hours early; do you really think that I would've let you be late on your wedding day? How does it feel being an early bird like me?" Rei said, stifling a few laughs after she finished her last statement.
Usagi just stared at Rei in disbelief, "I don't know whether to punch you or kiss you right now." She said her mouth wide-open.
"Just be happy Usagi-chan, come on Minako-chan is waiting for you in the other room to get your hair and make-up done. You know you can't just roll out of bed on your wedding day. Now let's get to it, we've got a lot of things to do before it's time for you to walk down that isle." Rei said a big smile on her face.
I'm so thankful and lucky to have all of my friends helping me out. Usagi thought to herself as she greeted Minako and sat down in a chair. All of the senshi had helped in terms of planning their moon princess' wedding, a wedding that they had been anticipating for a long time. Ami was Usagi's budget planner, Rei the wedding planner, Minako her make-up and hair designer, Makoto the caterer, Michiru and Haruka were both involved in the music for the wedding as well as instructing the bride and groom how to properly waltz (and after months of training they had gotten to the point where Usagi never tripped - not even once). Hotaru was in charge of selecting the flowers, and Setsuna was in charge of all the rest of the decorations for the reception and the ceremony.
The wedding was going to be held in a secret location to keep prying eyes of the paparazzi away, a secret island given to Sailor Moon by Sailor Galaxia as a gift for saving her from Chaos. Sailor Galaxia had said to "call it an early wedding present that you two can use as a getaway, and maybe as a destination wedding," with a wink and a grin.
Ever since Sailor Moon had saved the world from Sailor Galaxia, created Crystal World (including Crystal Tokyo), and been re-deemed the moon princess/"savior of earth," who everyone later found out was engaged to the newly crowned king of Earth; the press had been constantly in her face. So Mamoru and Usagi decided to keep the wedding a complete secret and would announce to the world that they had gotten married a few weeks later.
"So Usagi-chan are you nervous?" Minako asked as she applied Usagi's blush onto her cheeks.
"Nervous doesn't even begin to cover it." Usagi said as she closed her eyes while Minako applied a bit of eyeliner, and then some mascara to Usagi's eyes. "I know that Mamo-chan is perfect for me, and I've been waiting for this day for a long time coming. But now that it's actually here…" Usagi let out a sniffle.
"No Usagi-chan! Don't cry! I'm almost done, don't ruin it before you walk down the isle! I didn't get you water-proof eye-liner or mascara because it's such a pain in the ass to take off!" Minako said a bit panicked as she grabbed make-up remover pads just in case a bit of makeup ran down her cheeks.
"I'm okay, don't worry Minako-chan, I won't cry. Thank you for doing my makeup, it looks wonderful!" Usagi said, about to get up from her chair, when Minako planted her down firmly in her seat.
"I'm not done yet Usagi, you're not wearing your typical odangos for your wedding remember?" Minako teased, and started to do her hair up in a perfect bun, then proceeded to take strands of her hair and use them to make spiral curls, framing her face.
Usagi's sugar pink and white wedding was going perfectly so far. It was almost too perfect, which was starting to worry the outer senshi. Michiru, Haruka, Setsuna, and Hotaru were all gathered in the reception area, preparing for the night ahead of them. Although each of them were happy that it was finally Usagi's big day, they all shared a feeling that tonight would not turn out to be as wonderful as originally expected.
Michiru finally couldn't take it anymore and said, "I know that all of you sense it, and I'm certainly not going to deny that I feel this overwhelming dread coming toward us." She looked at each of the outer senshi in turn and the nodded. Something terrible was going to happen, evil was coming to ruin the day - they could only hope that their premonitions were wrong.
With makeup and hair done, wearing her traditional white bridal gown with some pink beading and ribbon here and there, her gorgeous white shoes placed on her feet, and princess tiara and veil placed on her head, Usagi was a vision in white. She gathered up her something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and headed head out to the limousine with her bridesmaids, (the inner senshi) all wearing sugar pink gowns were waiting when suddenly a voice coming from nowhere started to talk to her.
"Princess of the moon, you are in grave danger, I beg you, stay somewhere safe - don't get married on this day."
