Author's Notes: This is based on a few songs, As i have mentioned before I Am adding this chapter it is a little shorter than the first because I do not have a beta reader for this story currently and and in the process of finding an editor. If you would like to help me out please feel free to email me and I would gladly take that offer.

Also the views in here toward those of the Native Americans Are NOT my views, I am firmly against the views shown, unfortunately i cannot get across what Darien ChibaMoon, And yes his last name is still under consideration, goes though later with out illustrating the very narrow minded and cruel views that some of the more ignorant population of the time frame had. IF this offends anyone please accept my heartfelt apologies.

Okay well that's all I've got so far how do you like it? don't worry you'll find out where the songs come in in a little while, Just getting the Background stuff out first. I will be out of Town for a few weeks and then School Starts but as i am currently flowing with this one i will write and post as often as possible. I might get one more in before i leave.

Disclaimer: I do not nor ever will I Own Sailor Moon or any of the Characters associated with it. I also do not own In to the woods or the slipper and the rose no the songs from which I got my inspiration.

Stuck on the Steps:

Chapter 2

After they had loaded all the luggage William Took the reins and prepared to head Home, As he slowly started to make his way down the street Serena's cat jumped from her lap.

"LUNA!" She called and jumped down after her.

"Serenity Anne Fortescu! Where do you think you are going?

Serena paid no attention to her Father's call as she chased after the black cat. Luna ran into the alley behind the general store and there she saw a boy getting beat on by a group of older boys. She stopped and stood there unsure of what to do. When the biggest boy hit him again and she saw the blood on his face she gasped loudly, drawing their eyes on her.

"What are you doing to him?" She asked horrified.

"we're givin' this in'jun boy here what he diserves. He ain't nothin' but a 'Breed anyway."

Serena hadn't heard anyone called that before and was upset that they were hurting the poor boy.

"You, you, you monsters! You leave him alone right now! It's not right!"

The boy in charge grinned an evil grin, "Well lookie here boys. We got us a Baby In'jun Sympathizer, What should we do with her?"

There was a chourus of laughter and then one of the boys grabbed her arm and started pulling her towards the center of the ring.

"How 'bout we teach her what happens to In'jun friends."

"I right like that idea Jimmy." The boy drew back his fist and suddenly

"You touch her and I will show you exactly what happens to someone who hits a Lady in this town." The boys looked up to see William standing There Fire in his eyes, and scattered away.

"SERENITY ANNE FORTESCU, What the hell do you think you are doing young lady? Do you have any idea what could have just happened?"

Serena's eyes filled with tears and she crumpled to the ground, getting dirt on her new dress, "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to, But Luna. And the the boy and and" She began to wail and her father noticed the boy laying still on the ground.

"It is alright Angel but don't you ever do that again, Understand me?"

Serena nodded and wiped her eyes leaving smuge marks on her cheeks.

William picked up the boy and Serena saw Luna and grabbed her and followed her Father back to the wagon. As the approached Tanya ran to meet them.

"William my love what happened? Who is this boy? Why is Serena all dirty?"

"Tanya you should be proud of your daughter, she stood up for what was right, but as for the boy We will stop by Doc Marsters and Have him come out to the Triple S with us to look over him."

Emily looked at her youngest granddaughter with disgust, and then noticed the boy was being loaded onto the wagon,

"William surely you don't intend to bring that Ragamuffin back with us. Why he'll rob us blind!"

"Emily, He's hurt it is the right thing to do."

Back at the Ranch.

Doc Marsters spoke to William

"The boy's awake now, If he speaks English then he isn't talking to me, but after what he's been through I wouldn't trust us either."

William nodded and asked Tanya to bring him some broth.

Emily was being shown the girl's Samplers Safi's and SaraLee's were not with out a few mistakes, but compared to Serena's horrid mess of knots they were works of art. As Serena noticed her mother going into the room where the boy was she followed.

Tanya walked in and spoke softly. "Hello. I've something to eat if you like." she pantomimed eating and the boy sat up a little straighter. pointing to herself she said, "Tanya Fortescu."

Serena noticed and walked in little more and copying her mother's motions added. "Serena Anne Fortescu."

The boy pointed to himself and said weakly, "Dyami Muraco."

Serena giggled a little. "Thats a funny name." Dyami's Face grew a little red and he said in broken English. "Eagle WhiteMoon not funny."
