Well, I know I haven't written in a while. But, hey- I've been VERY busy
working on my new site, "In Other Words...". Graphics, fanfiction, manga
gallery... it's all there. I'm still not even half done, but hey... I've
done tons of stuff already.

This new story is from Chibi-Usa/Rini's point of view. I was sitting there
today, and thought to myself, "That poor little kid.". I mean, she's a
really mis-treated character in my opinion, and while, like her mother, I
can find her REALLY annoying, I still pity her. I mean, she's always being
made fun of, insulted, and humiliated (mostly, I believe, due to DiC's
portrayal of her), but think about it: it's got to be really hard to leave
all of the people you love, and head to a place where not many people are
nice to you, where you have no friends your own age, and where the person
who's eventually going to mother you treats you badly most of the time.
It's got to be pretty rough.

This story takes place during SMR, before the arrival of the outers.

So, well, here's my little fic. Hope you all like it. And as usual,
comments are welcome, flames will be tossed away without a thought. Reach

Unwanted.

It's hard, being unwanted.

I mean, it's not as if I asked to come here; to be torn from every thing
I've grown to know and love. When the people from Nemesis came down and
attacked us, I would have gladly stayed with my Mama and Dad, and taken
my chances. But they wouldn't hear of it. Dad had Puu send me back
here, to this miserable place, and I'm none the better because of it.

Sure, I'm alive. But what kind of life is it I'm living? Surrounded by
people who couldn't care less about me. No friends. No family. No one
to love me.

Okay, well, there is Mamo-chan. He's so nice, and I know he cares about me.
Being with him reminds me of what it's like to have someone take care of
you, and love you. But every time I get a chance to get close to him, that
odango-head, Usagi has to come by and spoil things! Sometimes, she just
makes me so mad!

I know I make her mad too, though. It's not intentional. She's just so
annoying, always trying to break Mamo and me apart. I know that she loves
him a lot, and that she's only trying to get as much time with him as
possible, but doesn't she realise that by taking Mamo-chan away from me,
she's taking away the only piece of home I've got left?

Yeah, yeah. I know. I've got her too. But what kind of mother figure is
she? Always pigging out on junk food, and making fun of me. At least Mamo
treats me like a daughter. Usagi doesn't even treat me like a friend. I'm
just this pesky little girl that's always following her around. A ball and
chain. A noose. She never stops to think that maybe I wouldn't HAVE to
follow her around, if only I had someone my own age around to play with. I
get so lonely here, in the past.

Even the Senshi aren't good company. Sure, they're nice to me. But then,
of course they would be. I'm the future daughter of their best friend.
The Princess of Earth. I'm an important person, in my own time. If they
WEREN'T nice to me, they could wind up in big trouble. Not that that's an
issue. The girls are so kind. I could count on them to be nice to me, even
if I were nobody.

And that's just what Usagi makes me feel like. A big fat nobody.

I just want to go home. I want to find a way to get this stupid key of mine
to work, and head home. There probably won't be much I can do to help in
the future, but at least I can try. I'm certainly not doing anything to
help by sitting on my backside here in the past.

At least at home, in the future, my presence will be appreciated. At least
in the future, there will be people to love me.

Please. Mama, Daddy, Puu: Please. Let me come home.

I feel so unwanted here.


--------------------

Wow, that was short. That's okay, though.

Well, there you go. Not my best work, but hey, it's better than a kick in
the head with a steel-toed boot. Right? Right?!?

Aside from the reasons I mentioned above, there was another reason I wrote
this story. While compiling stories for my own website, I noticed that
Chibimoon and Saturn fics are extremely rare. There truly are not that
many out there. So, I just felt it necessary to add one.

This is the third in a series of psychological fics I've written. The other
two, Between the Raindrops (from Ami's POV), and Sometimes (from Mamoru's)
deal with basically the same sort of things. I like to write stories about
what the characters are feeling. What just might be going through their
heads. You can count on seeing more in the future. However, what you will
not see is one about Sailor Moon. I make it a policy not to write about
her. There are JUST TOO MANY Moon fics out there.

Look for the opening of my new site, "In Other Words...", Coming Soon!!!
