Wish Upon a Star Chapter 1, a sailor moon fanfic

Ok here's the sequel. I hope you all enjoy if you've been waiting to read it.

Darien paced in the hallways, anxiously. He had been waiting for what seemed like hours, surely nothing had gone wrong. He stopped mid step and a flood of worries went through his head. One could not be too sure about these things. They took a lot of preparation and care. He shook the ideas out as a maid walked by. He needed to keep calm. A few more minutes and he would see to himself what exactly was taking so long. Finally, he stopped to listen and found with dread nothing filled his ears from inside the room. His nerves were upset and without thought he barged into the room. What he found inside made his heart stop.

"IT'S A GIRL!" The midwife exclaimed happily. She wiped her hands on the apron around her waist, as she made her way over to him, taking care not to touch the bed. Lying in it was an exhausted but proud Serena. Darien came over to her and whispered sweet nothings into her ears. He did not voice his worries to her for fear they would disturb her recovery.

"I have decided to name her Rini. Oh Darien, is she not the most beautiful thing you have ever seen?" Serena asked as the midwife placed the delicate bundle into her arms. Darien looked at the opening of the blanket and saw the most precious face peeking out to him. He sighed and kissed his new daughter on the forehead.

"She is as beautiful as her mother." He kissed his wife and hugged them both lovingly.

The bedroom was empty. Darien let out a frustrated sigh, there was a storm brewing in his mind as he made his way to the dining hall. There, his wife sat at her seat and the seat across from her was empty as well. When Darien sat down, Molly came over to present his plate and it was then when Darien asked her,

"Molly, have you seen Rini. She is missing her breakfast and she will be late for her tutoring."

"I apologize, Your Majesty. I have not seen the princess this morning, but I shall keep a look out if you wish."

"Thank you, and please inform the staff to keep their eyes open as well." Molly nodded in understanding and went back into the kitchen. Serena giggled softly.

"Do not fret my love, Rini is bound to be somewhere in the kingdom."

"Yes, but it is not proper for a young girl to be running around unsupervised. Something might happen to her."

"She is fine. She is probably just hiding from her tutoring, she does despise it, you know."

"I know, but she needs to be educated as I was."

"And just like you, she is stubborn to a fault. (aww one of my fav lines ever) One of the things she has inherited from you."

"I beg your pardon, but I recall someone being quite stubborn in her youth."

"Are you saying I am old, Darien?" Serena asked in shock, putting down her cup of tea she was sipping. Darien smirked at his wife and assured,

"I would never say such a thing to you my darling, for you have not changed at all in my eye. You are still as beautiful as they day that I met you." Serena blushed at the memory and offered her comfort,

"Do not worry, Darien. She will be found soon enough. I am sure she is returning home, anxiously, as we speak." Darien shook his head in disbelief.

"I believe the term 'sluggishly ' is more appropriate. That girl does not seem to have much energy if you ask me."

"Whee!" Rini cried out as she swam through the water, with the speed of an arrow. It felt so sweet to swim to her heart's content, inside of sitting at a desk reading a boring textbook. She raised her arms to cover her face from the sun, before diving into the water once more. She looked around and saw a dolphin swimming towards her, its primrose body giving off a nice shine in the sunlight. Rini took hold of its fin and the two swam until they came to the bottom of the lake, where glorious treasures lay deep within the sand. Rini picked up a few object, putting them in her woven bag, and swam to the surface, taking a luxurious breath of air. She loved the Enchanted Forest so much. It was her escape from her world of being prim and proper. She looked up to see Dianna, a gray colt sitting in the shade at the forest's edge. She was nibbling on some shrubs and neighed softly when she saw Rini. Rini waved at her, before giggling as the dolphin came towards her and squirted some water at her face. When the dolphin dove under Rini followed it until they were back again at the lake's floor. This time, Rini realized it was leading her to the entrance of an odd looking cave. She held onto its fin tightly before they both swam through the mouth and into a tunnel. Feeling anxious to get to the exit Rini swam faster and saw a bright light coming from the end. When they came out, they shot to the surface where they found themselves in a different location of the Enchanted Forest. They were a few yards away from a beach that seemed to go on for miles. Rini had never been to a beach before but had read about them in her studies. They were supposed to have the most wonderful treasures, sea shells. Rini swam to the sandy dunes and began searching for shells, finding thousands of them buried in the sand. She guessed she was there for the entire afternoon, for it was when the sun was directly over her when she caught sight of it. Again, it was one of those things that Rini had seen on maps and pictures. It was a ship, with black sails and a black flag with a white crescent moon on it.

Rini watched as it came closer and saw four figures standing on the…what was it…deck? She tried to get a better look by swimming toward it but was shaken out of her amazement by the dolphin that was prodding her with its nose. She guessed she shouldn't approach the ship, what if they tried to shoot her with their cannons? Rini thought it best to go back with her treasures and come again, to find what, or who had come to her father's kingdom and why.

Peruru blinked. He gasped. It was still there. He blinked again. His eyebrows furrowed. It was gone. He could have sworn could have he had seen a mermaid by the coast looking out at his family's ship.

"Hello little brother, what are you staring at?" came a snobbish voice. Peruru turned around and frowned. His brother was not someone he wished to talk to at the moment.

"I was looking at nothing, Pupulan. I was just admiring our new home."

"Yes it is rather divine, is it not? Wise Man (pay attention!!!) said we would find riches there," Bananu, another one of Peruru's brothers chuckled greedily.

"Oh yes, I cannot wait to see what treasures we might find" Oranja added, Peruru's third brother.

"Now listen here and listen well! Anything we find, I am to decide who shall have it." Both Bananu and Oranja stared at Pupulan in anger.

"Who said you may decide?"

"I am the oldest."

"By a minute or so, let us not forget!"

"That still gives me the right." Peruru sighed as he went below deck to his room. He did not feel like stressing his ears by listening to their quarrels. When did his brothers become so selfish? In his cabin, Peruru looked out the circular widow and saw what lay beneath the ocean surface. Perhaps he would see the mermaid he had seen before. She was... very beautiful.

At first I was going to have Serena die and allow Darien to raise Rini on his own, being an overprotective father. But then I realized I could do that with Serena still being alive. Besides, Darien already lost his mother and I really didn't want to kill Serena. OH! And tell me what you think of Peruru? Do you guys have any ideas about him, if you do tell me. That means I'm telling too much, I want to keep him a mystery. Tehehe.
