A/N: I am basing Rini's reactions and mood-swings on my friends and myself at that age. I must have been, and must still be, a pest for my parents. I, like Rini, know what it's like to like someone and not know if they like you back. I also know what it's like to be cheated on by that someone a few months later, but that's beside the point.
I recently read a pretty good disclaimer, so I'm going to paraphrase it, if I owned Sailor Moon, why would I be putting my work on this website? ************************************************************************ Rini had been in the future for the past six years, making her fourteen, and therefore, crazy and moody. Being a princess was second to fun for her, hence the reason why she was sitting at the table reading a newspaper with a headline called "Princess Party Girl!" and generally smiling at what kind of reaction her parents might have. As she skimmed the page, she stopped and groaned at the line that said; "The princess has taken an interest in Prince Robert of the Neptunian kingdom." She crumpled the paper and threw it with force. "Dammit, just because he tried to court me, he is suddenly my boyfriend!" Diana walked into the room and glanced at her. "What's wrong Small Lady?"
"Don't call me that! I have a name! And I read an article just now that pronounced Prince Robert my boyfriend." Diana shrugged. "He was nice, why shouldn't they call him that? After all, you two really hit it off." Rini sighed, and tried to explain to Diana. "Di, do you remember a certain someone who said he'd come back when I was a lady like my mother? Well, I am one now, because mom was my age in the past when she counted as a lady." Diana thought about this for a moment, and then said; "Oh, you mean Peruru!" Rini sweatdropped, and shook her head. "No Diana, Elios!"
"Oh yeah, but you haven't seen him in ages." That wasn't quite true. "Diana, he enrolled in school today, he's a junior, and with me as a freshman, it's perfect!" She sighed dreamily as she stroked Diana. "Rini!" That would mean that her parents had seen the article. She ran down the long hall to the lounge and started by saying; "I can explain everything. Oh!" Elios was there, and he was smiling. "You can explain what?" Her mother continued accusingly. "Uh. Gotta go bye!" She said, and took Elios' arm, running through the door at quite a fast pace.
"Elios, I'm so glad you came back!" She flung her arms around his neck, and felt his muscular arms encircle her waist. "I would never break a promise to you my maiden." Wow, that nickname never failed to send shivers up her spine, and the reason for that was a little bit embarrassing. It reminded her of her first kiss, which had been given by none other than Elios. "I know Elios, it's just, I didn't know that it would be this soon! I am glad though, really I am!" He let go of her, and she mentally smacked herself for speaking when the embrace could have lasted longer. Just from that contact, she had estimated how strong he was, and with the way his muscles were composed, saying that he was very strong would be an understatement. "Seeing as how you obviously did something, why don't I take you out for the day?" 'Damn boy, you're pulling at my heart-strings' she thought, and nodded vigorously. "Did you happen to read the front page of the paper this morning?" He raised an eyebrow. "No." She let go of the breath she didn't know she was holding. "Keep it that way!" She said, pulling him along behind her so that they were out the front gates by the time her father reached the door and grumbled something about teen rebellion, and having a headache.
