Please don't let go!
Can't we stay for a while?
It's just so hard to say goodbye.
Listen to the rain!
Princess Serenity's eyes were shut as she listened to the choral group accompanied by a beautiful piano piece. The singers' voices seemed to portray their emotions, bringing the lyrics to life. It just seemed ironic that it actually was raining, something rare on her home planet, but usual for the Earth kingdom. Soon enough the song ended and she enthused her appraise by applauding.
"Enjoying yourself, Serenity-hime?"
Serenity turned in the midst of exiting the theatre, finding Prince Endymion approaching her, a smile on his face. "Yes, I have been. The last performance really was special."
"I'm glad you think so; I picked them out myself, you know," then he cleared his throat. "Would you mind accompanying me to the Summer Ball? I've no one to go with, you see."
Serenity's mouth opened to speak, when two other voices beat her, "Sorry Endymion, but she's going with us."
The Moon princess and Earth prince turned to see a pair of twins bearing hair as dark as night and charcoal grey eyes standing side by side casually as if they didn't realize what had been implicated by their words.
The hime's eyes widened as she quickly tried to rectify the situation, "It's not what it sounds like, Endymion; I don't even know who they are!"
Endymion grinned somberly, scratching the back of his head in awkwardness. "It's fine; I can see these two aren't going to let anyone else be your companions to this event. Maybe next time, ne? Goodbye, Serenity-hime, Amaterasu-kun, Tsukuyomi-kun."
Once the Earth kingdom's heir was gone, the eighteen-year-old girl turned blazing sapphire eyes to the princes beside her. "Who do you two think you are, coming in here and laying false statements to keep a potential suitor away? I've never even met you before!"
The one with hair tied into a low ponytail chuckled, "Is it so crazy of us to do that? I thought all was fair in love and war."
One of her golden eyebrows twitched, "That…is a ridiculous phrase to follow."
The other unruly haired man raised an elegant eyebrow, "It's not ridiculous if it helps us conquest your heart."
"Um, us? The two of you?"
"Amaterasu-kun and I are used to sharing everything, so it's just smart to share you, too," said the first twin.
"Yeah, because it seems that Tsukuyomi won't back out no matter what," Amaterasu added, with a glare at his twin.
Tsukuyomi ignored him, "Why don't you let us go with you, just this once? You would see how fun it is to do," he smirked, "forbidden things."
Serenity bit her lip, "And if I don't like it, you two will leave me alone, forever, right?"
Tsukuyomi nodded, "Whatever you wish."
"But you better not let prejudice guide your choice," Amaterasu added, with a serious expression.
Serenity sighed, a sign of surrender, "Fine; I'll go to the ball with both of you as my… companions."
The twins gave an evil grin, saying in complete unison, "That's all we ask for."
A few weeks later and it was already the night of the famed Summer Ball. Since her first meeting with Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, Serenity had not seen them at all; it was like they vanished! She couldn't help but fear that they had decided to look for a girl other than herself, after the stand-offish attitude she had displayed around them. But, there was no way she was getting fond of them so quickly! Sure, they were both attractive, but she never just went crazy for a boy (or in this case boys)'s looks; she usually looked for a good personality.
"Serenity-hime! Please stop, Serenity-hime! You have to get ready soon, for you mustn't be tardy for the ball!"
Serenity breathed out as she stopped in the midst of her daily stroll to turn towards the black blob that was scrambling to catch up to her.
"Yes, Luna," the princess drawled in a lazy tone.
The cat seemed to scowl as she looked up at the royal and elegant girl. "You heard me; go get dressed!"
A pair of ocean colored eyes rolled heavenwards, "Fine, I'll go right away."
And so, Serenity hurried to her room, though she didn't feel as excited about the night's event as she did a while ago, since she was pretty much convinced that the twins had pretty much ditched her.
The moon princess entered her room, to find her best friends longing about, seemingly waiting for her arrival.
"Took you long enough, Serenity," a jet-black haired maiden quipped, her vermillion eyes staring at the princess expectantly.
"I'm sure Serenity-hime has an excellent reason, Kasei-hime," another young lady remarked, this time with curly chocolate hair and viridian irises.
"I have no need to tell you anything at all. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get dressed," Serenity said, adopting a no-nonsense attitude.
"Girls, please, stop; if you keep this up, Serenity-hime won't be able to get to the ball on time!" begged a damsel with nape-length cobalt blue hair and an ice blue gaze.
"Suigin-hime," the tsuki hime began, "I will get to the ball on time. No matter what. I have someone waiting for me, anyways. "
"Whaaaaat? You have a date and you didn't tell me?" Serenity's distant cousin shouted, her citrine orbs displaying her shock.
Serenity sighed, "I thought it wasn't necessary to tell you." And I don't even know how to begin to explain the fact that I have two extremely attractive men waiting for me.
The other fair-haired girl scowled childishly. "You know you should have told me, because I, Kinsei-hime, am the best one to advise you in the matters of the heart," she declared proudly.
"That completely explains why you have a lover yourself," Kasei muttered sarcastically, ruby eyes rolling heavenwards.
"Shut up," Kinsei sniffed haughtily. "At least I get proposals every day."
"Okay, that's enough! I need to get ready, but you guys are not helping at all! Either you be silent, or you get out," the lunar princess stated, rummaging around her closet to find the dress she had bought for the night's occasion.
Author's note: So, instead of updating my other stories, I come up with a new one *facepalms*
This just came to me one late night; Most of it was written on my iPhone lol. Also, this has the potential to be a prequel of sorts to another story I'm already starting to write.
I own nothing; not Sailor Moon or Naruto. By the way, I'm pretty sure the twins' identities are pretty obvious, so I've lost the potential mystery factor I tried to have in this first chapter. (Epic fail, I know T_T)
So, tell me your thoughts, likes, or dislikes about this story; I think it kind of shows how I've somewhat "grown" as an author.
