The Hardships of Destiny
A/N: Hiya! This idea for a oneshot just came into my head and I had to right it down! Don't worry I'm still continuing my other story I just had to write this! Tell me what you think of it! Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon.
"Serena! What have we told you! Another F and we'll disown you right?" At the nod of her daughter's head Irene Tsukino continued. "And look here, you brought home two F's! Serena go to your room right now and pack!"
At this statement Serena Tsukino went to her lovely pink room and packed the most precious of her possessions. Little did our heroine know that her court of sailor scouts were on their way. This court consisted of the nine sailors from the nine planets. Serena had told them what her mother had said, and had been there for her as she tried to catch up to the class. Serena just couldn't catch up fast enough.
"Are you done Serena." Her father said with a cold voice that could have freezed the ocean.
"Yes father." Serena said with a low and quiet voice. As she dragged her suitcase down the stairs following her father she wondered what she would do now. Could she go stay with one of her friends? Possibly.
"Serena, from this moment on, you are no longer believed to be a part of the Tsukino family. You may still use our family name but that's it. If you can prove yourself, then we might let you back into the family." Her mother said with authority.
Sammy then took a hard hold of Serena's arm and threw her out of the house, forcefully. Serena landed on the ground with a thud. A minute later her suitcase landed on top of her. The door slammed shut and she was all alone. She thought it couldn't get any worse. She was wrong. Right in front of her were the scouts. All had faces full of worry and concern across their features. This was more than she could take. Her friends had witnessed just how worthless she was. She did the only thing she could think of. She ran. She ran as fast as could, completely forgetting about her suitcase. She didn't know where her feet would take and she really didn't care either. She soon found herself in the park.
Serena had no idea how she had ended up their but she didn't care a bit. All she saw was the full moon casting a beautiful light all over the lake. She felt like it was trying to cheer her up by bringing everything out of the dark and into the light. Serena couldn't help smiling. She walked towards the edge of pier. She had to be in the middle of that wonderful light. She was oblivious to the shouts of the scouts or Darien telling to come back to shore, to stop walking towards the water. Serena kept walking till she walked off the pier.
Then she walked on the water. All Serena could see was the moon and all it's glory. The people who cared for her couldn't believe she was walking on water! They ran to the edge to the edge of pier for a better look. As Serena neared the middle of the lake, the moonlight came together and formed a single beam of light. When Serena was directly under the moon the beam of light became focused on her only. Serena rose up from the water following the light. Gasps of surprise could be heard from the two cats.
"Artemis are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Luna asked in a voice full of amazement and disbelief.
"On yeah." Was the reply.
"What is it?" All of the scouts and Darien and shouted.
"It's the ritual to become a true Lunarien." A sweet voice answered.
"Queen Serenity."
"Yes. Serena has finally become able to take on the responsibility of the Lunarien family. She has experienced love, and has lost it. She was given a duty and she accepted it. Giving that duty everything she had. Accepting that her life wasn't what she thought it was. She defeated the very thing that destroyed her previous life. She gathered all nine of her court once again for the first time in a thousand years. She understands the hardships of life, and that sometimes even though she works as hard as she can it might not work out. All of these and more were tests to see if she could cope with them and keep going on still doing her best. She has passed. Now watch as a new Lunarien is born, so to speak." Serenity finished with a smile.
As soon as she had finished the light around Serena became intense. Serena's body became taller and slender. Her blue jeans and tight pink t-shirt were replaced with a white gown( like her princess dress) with silver designs all over forming numerous constellations. A golden crescent moon appeared upon her forehead in a brilliant light show. Her hair came out from her loose ponytail to form the familiar buns. This time Silver streaks were mixed within her golden hair. Finally a gold and silver tiara appeared on head. The transformation was complete. The silver crystal came forth and shined with a white light that rivaled the moonlight. It became a silver bracelet that settled on her wrist.
Serena gently floated down and into Darien outstretched arms. Darien silently led the scouts to his apartment as Serenity became transparent and disappeared to the other world once again.
