Hardships of Destiny
Chapter Two
The Day After
"Mmm. Huh?" Was the reply from Serena as she awoke.
"Hey! You're awake!" Mina stated as she brought in a tray of food. "You must be starving."
"I am, thanks." Replied Serena as she dug into the food. "Where am I"
"You're at Darien's place. After what happened last night. I mean, between getting kicked out of your house, and the ritual."
"What ritual?" Serena cut off Mina.
"Don't you remember? Last night in the park?" At Serena's confused stare, Mina sighed. "Wait here." Mina then left and muffled voices could be heard outside the door. After several minutes later, Mina returned along with Serena's court and Darien.
"I'm telling you guys, she doesn't remember a thing." Mina said evidently continuing a conversation from before.
"What are you talking about? Serena's mind was drawing a blank as to what they could be talking about.
"Serena, what happened in the park last night?" Setsuna came and sat next to the young girl.
"I just ran to the park. Everyone had seen me getting kicked out, and ...and I was ashamed. I had always found comfort in looking in the moon, so I look at it. When I did, my mind went numb and all I could hear was a voice saying I had passed. Then I came to here." Serena slowly told her story.
"So you don't remember floating and becoming a Lunarien?" Rei asked.
"No, I don't remember floating and...what?" Serena's face was a mask of bewilderment.
"A true Lunarien. You grew taller, your hair now has silver streaks, your body is slender, and your crescent moon is on your forehead." Amy said pointing out each difference.
"Your lying." And Serena stood up, then gasped. She was now eye level with Lita's nose. Before she was only looking at Lita's shoulder. She noticed her clothes were looser as her body gained some curves, which Darien did not miss. Serena is now back in her tank and jeans. Her hair had indeed gained silver streaks as well and length. Serena then walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. There was indeed the moon insignia on her forehead.
"Okay, so you're not lying." Serena said as she walked back to the bedroom. There was a noticeable change in the way Serena carried herself. She carried herself like royalty. But you could see something was troubling her..
"What's wrong Serena?" Darien said walking towards her. Serena bypassed him and walked towards the open window, arms crossed over her chest.
"A change has happened." Serena stated. "We know the world was frozen before Neo-Queen Serenity unfroze it, but how did it get frozen in the first place?" Serena turned back towards the group and continued leaning against the glass.
"Do be able to do that, Serenity had to have already been a Lunarien. Now that I'm a Lunarien, whatever froze the Earth will be coming soon.
