"In two days." Luna's cat eyes flicked upward at her owner. "Only two days."

"Only one day and a couple more hours and then poof! Will I suddenly feel older? When the clock strikes twelve tonight will I suddenly be more graceful?" Serena suddenly stood up, grabbing her feline companion and half stumbled half waltzed around the room, "Regal?" She curled one blonde eyebrow upward, cradling the cat in one hand while exaggeratingly flexing the other. "Powerful?"

The two laughed when Luna slightly dizzied jumped out of her Princess's arms and onto the pink carpeted floor. "You know Serena in the days of old it was rumored that when a moon princess turned eighteen she would go through a sort of lunar puberty…"

Serena's shoulder slumped. "Puberty? Like all the acne and even more clumsiness?" She threw her head back and lifted her arms into the air in exasperation. "No Luna I couldn't go through that again!"

She flopped backward onto her pillow and over her crossed arms watching the cat's tail languidly swinging back and forth. "But would I get taller?" She blushed and crossed her hands over her modest but ample breasts. "Curvier?"

Luna laughed, her deep voice and cat form turning the feminine laugh into a low purr. "It was only a rumor even then. When your mother was eighteen there seemed to be no difference in her characteristics or personality at all. Though her life did change, she was betrothed, had her coronation, and all the power of the crystal passed down from her mother to her."

"Betrothed? To who?"

Luna pondered over the question, flipping through hazy memories and clips of their past life. "It's not important. What is important is that I do remember just as it is today the eighteenth birthday of a princess was very important, even to a civilization of people who could live for centuries." She curled into herself trying to think back to an even further memory, her family on the planet Mau and her eighteenth birthday.

Serena flipped over to stare at her pink ceiling running her hands through her golden tresses, a habit that she did when she was thinking. "Luna?" She sensed distressed in her feline companion but still felt selfish curiosity, she scratched behind Luna's ear as a small consolation for her trouble. "Luna? Do you think all my memories will come back?"

The pet tensed and then sprang to her feet so she could meet Serena's eyes. "I truly don't know. The other scouts have reported nothing like this on their birthdays but you-you have always surprised me." She could here a sigh escape her princess's lips but she could not decipher if it was out of relief or disappointment.

She put a comforting paw on Serena's hand dipping to rub her head against Serena's neck. "But then your mother has always been looking after you and I am sure if she knows you truly desire them she will figure out a way to aid you from beyond." She made sure her Princess was paying attention, "But do you want all your old memories back, even if the Crystal Palace was paradise not all of the memories will be good."

Serena paused. Did she?

All the memories of my past: my true childhood and powers, my old home. But all of the disasters, the enemies, the death…

She looked back into Luna firm but worried gaze, and broke into a fit of giggles. "Oh Luna you're always so serious. I don't need to worry my Mother over the past, and I certainly don't want to worry you. I don't need to know, everything that's important to me is right here." She placed a quick kiss on Luna's temple before rushing of to the bathroom, the silence only ended by the sound of running water.

Luna shrugged. If Serena wasn't going to worry about it neither would she. She hopped of the nightstand and gracefully leaped downward to the television. A few moments later Luna had it turned to the most popular news station.

The reporter had jet black hair and a commonly beautiful face but startling green eyes, matching a shiny aquamarine blazer. Her sparkling pearl pin glittered when she spoke to match her perfectly bleached white teeth.

She spread an array of papers around her semicircle glass desk looking up to the teleprompter with a friendly smile. "-Thanks Matt, we would just like to remind you that the solar eclipse will be appearing at exactly 12:00 am tomorrow! The weather will be perfect tomorrow as Meteorologist Kim has just shown us so get ready to see the solar splendor tomorrow night! This is Mika Tomiya with RA News. Real Action! Real News! Have a Great-"

Luna turned of the television, slightly disturbed.

A solar eclipse? On Serena's birthday. Maybe it's just a funny coincidence….but.

The feline's eyes glazed over as something clicked.

When the sun overcomes the moon the origin of the princess will rise soon. The prince of-of"

Luna snapped out of the thought. "Where did that come from?" The words sounded so foreign but still so familiar.

Serena turned of the water hurrying to dry herself, it was getting late and she was supposed to hang out with Molly tomorrow.

She wrapped her hair in a twisted towel over her head. She dried off her shoulder tracing her fingers over the cobweb thin barely noticeable scars.

"Beryl."

One of Beryl's monsters had ambushed her on the way home from school after she served an hour long detention. It had ripped her locket out of her school uniform and thrown it under a parked car. She had had to lure it into an alley before beating it to death with a broken pipe.

It had pinned her to the brick wall with its long claws trying to eat her face off with its beak when she had grabbed the pipe and shoved it in its chest twisting and twisting before it finally let go.

Serena grabbed the sink trying not to let the memory overtake her, the smell of its putrid flesh still stuck with her as she saw it rot before her into a mess of green and black vile things.

She took a deep breath and exhaled, suddenly tired and feeling the urge to go to bed.

She collapsed onto the bed hugging Luna sleeping form to her chest. She just had this feeling something was going to happen, she could feel it in the pit of her stomach, something big was coming, and soon.
