Luna just stood there staring at Serena with nervous jolts bolting
through her stomach. "H-hi Serena." Luna said in a shaky voice. She was
nervous that Serena had heard everything she has been telling Ami. Serena
just looked at the cat. She had a box of Ding Dongs in her hand. "What are
you looking at? Do I have cream on my face?" Serena said while she was
wiping her face to make sure. "No. I'm sorry, you just surprised me is all
Serena." Luna was glad that Serena hadn't heard anything. And if she had,
Serena didn't mention any of it because she went straight to her computer
chair and set down the box. "Want a Ding Dong Luna?" "No, that's alright
Serena. You go ahead and eat the whole box." Serena just stared at Luna
after that first comment. " WHY DO YOU THINK I'LL EAT THE WHOLE BOX!? WHY
DO I NEED THE WHOLE BOX? CAN I NOT JUST ENJOY ONE WITHOUT YOU ALWAYS
SITTING THERE TELLING ME WHAT I SHOULD AND SHOULDN'T EAT!?" Serena snapped.
Luna was taken aback and edged slowly away.
Before Luna could say another word, Serena started to cry. "I'm sorry Luna!
I am just so tired of doing the same thing day after day! I want to change!
To do something different with my life! I can't keep living like this.
Eating everything in the house, crying all the time. I swear, when Raye
calls me a crybaby, sometimes I actually feel like one, and it makes me
want to cry even more. I want to be different. I don't want to be dependant
of everybody. I want to do things that will surprise people and become an
interesting person." Luna gasped. She couldn't believe what she heard.
Serena, not an interesting person?! For goodness sake she is going to be
Queen! What was going on in this girls mind, Luna didn't know, but she had
to find out fast before it became too serious and Serena decides to do
something dangerous. "Serena, listen, you are a very interesting person.
You are Sailor Moon! Do you know how many people would like to be you!? You
are one of the luckiest girls in the world! You have great friends who care
so much about you! You have a dashing young Prince, if you know what I
mean." Luna gave Serena a wink and that made Serena laugh a little. 'Good,'
Luna thought. 'At least she is laughing a little and she stopped crying.'
Serena wiped the wet tears from her tear stricken face. She smiled at Luna.
" You're right Luna." But then she frowned.
She got up, went to the window, staring into the sky. Luna so desperately
wanted to know what was going through that crazy blondes head. Still
looking at the sky, Serena said, "Luna, I know that I am a really lucky
person and I have a lot going for me later in life, but I feel like there
is more out there than just what is in my destiny. Being a Princess and all
is appealing yes, and it does have its ups. But, what if I don't want to be
a Princess any more? What if." She looked at her soft, shaggy pink carpet.
She looked up and turned slowly to Luna. Serena looked straight into Luna's
eyes, and what Luna heard come out of Serena's mouth was so unbelievable,
she thought she was hearing things. She never would have expected Serena to
say such a thing as, "What if I don't want to be who I am anymore and give
up the Sailors all together?"
