Chapter 2
It was late night, the red glowing numbers on Serenas alarm switched to 12:16 as she glanced at it. Sliping from her bed she pulled on her clothes as sofly and quietly as possible to avoid waking Luna. She picked up a small bag that she had put pictures and momentos into. She placed a small envelope containing a letter to her family on her bed, careful to avoid Luna, and looked around. This was it.
The night was cool and crisp from the rain earlier in the walked the silent streets as she made her way to the park. The Moon gleamed full and high in the sky and was reflected back a million ten-fold in each drop of rain on each leaf, flower and blade of each blade of grass. Her feet took her to the park that she knew so well. How many times had she spent an afternoon her with the other scouts? How many dates with Darien had ended here? But those days where gone and in the past, the other scouts had made sure of that. But she would push all thoughts of them from her mind, and as she came to the edge of the lake. The crystal clear lake that sat in the middle of the park was where she would leave the past and start the future. The moon kingdom, the Neo-Moon Kingdom was the future for Serena. The time was now if she wanted to accomplish this, when the moon was full and directly overhead. Slowly she raised her hands to her chest cupping her transformation brooch and Silver Imperium Crystal. The crystal transformed from the dull one to the shimmering becaon of hope and love. At the same moment she was dressed in her princess clothing.
Serena looked up to check the moon and it was indeed in the right location. She carefully took a step on to the lake walking across it, as if a sheet od glas covered it, not a drop of water touched her. She came to the center of the lake where the moon reflected and stood at the edge of it. WIth her head bowed she called to Mina,"Mina, protected by the planted of Venus and Princess of the plant, my guardian, my protector, come to me willingly." The water around her feet fluttered around her creating rings, and before her appeared thePrincess Mina dressed in the orange of her planet.
"Serena?Umm...Princess? What is going on? I felt you asking for me and I was here?"She looked around her and took in where they where, slightly in shock.
"Princess Mina, Sailor Venus, my friend, will you go with me to the moon and rebuild the Moon Kingdom?" SHe smiled and grasped Minas hands.
"Of course I will." At her words the water around them grew in to larger and larger ripples and they where gone in a flash of light.
