Yea, this is going to be quick. I failed my own challenge I know!

Then I got distracted again, I have two other stories in the works, both are Cardcaptor Sakura related. One is based on Sofia the first, very loosely though. The other is based on Corpse Party... I already know that it might be the only story I'll ever post that will have to be rated M- I mean, Corpse party is kinda known for being full of Gore...
I wish Sailor moon belonged to me, sadly it does not. It belongs to Naoko Takeuchi and whoever else with the rights to it. The selection does not belong to me either it belongs to Kiera Cass… I wonder how much cake went into writing it…

The only thing that belongs to me is the inspiration that came to me to make this happen in the first place… that's sad…

"Alright Ladies, Let's get you ready for the rest of the day. Lady Venus and Lady Jupiter..." I spaced out again. If Ace is here, what would V do if she had to confront him? I couldn't help but think I would have to face Ace in V's place.
"Station... Lady Venus? Station 2... LADY VENUS!" I stumbled back a bit as I was VIOLENTLY shaken from my thoughts.
"I'm sorry, I must be falling asleep with my eyes wide open." I chuckled a bit. No one else seemed to be amused, except Lita, who I saw was trying to bite back her laughter. You can always trust her to laugh for you. But the Servant calling out orders was definatly the MOST unamused. Pity, I thought V's charm rubbed off on everyone.
"Lady Venus, Station 2, just follow Lady Jupiter." I walked quickly to catch up to Jupiter. When I caught up to her she looked me over like I just fell down a flight of stairs and then just stood up and kept going, like nothing happened.
"V, what's wrong? You're acting like Serenity-hime-sama when she stares at the Earth!"
"I'm fine, I swear." It's not like you hurt my feelings, making me sound like a weird person.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm fine Lita, honest!" I said, sternly. Everyone calls Jupiter, Lita... If they're close enough. Nothing could've possibly given me away.
"If you say so, V," she said, turning away and quickening her pace.
When we got to station 2 [which was just a huge stall that could hidden from view with a giant curtain. The maid approached us and curtsied. "Alright sailor scouts, surrender the fukus" [A/n Fukus are the sailor outfits that they wear] We glanced at the servant then at each other.
"We... can't..." I started. I didn't know how to quite phrase it so I looked to Lita to at least continue the thought.
"Because of the rules... the shittennou,-" I knew how to get the point across, thanks, Lita!
"They took our transformation pens, and we can't do anything without them." I summarized.
"Well for Goddesses sake, Mary, Anne!" The maid, [I quickly learned that her name was Lucy] [You see what I did there selection fans? ;)] called. They quickly ran in and curtsied to us before turning to Lucy. Looks like we got the head maid. "Go find the Shittennou Kunzite-sama and Nefflite-sama, tell them that Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter need their Transformation pens."
"Yes, ma'am!" One of them answered before they both scurried away. In a few minutes they came back with the two generals- but they were blind-folded. "So no one's privacy was compromised." She explained. [Was her name Anne?] THEN WHAT WERE THE CURTAIN'S FOR? Oh well, It was kind of hilarious. [Wow, I'm way into V's character...] What was with the Shittennou and the way they kind of made everything seem ceremonial? Kunzite held out V's pen to me, and Jupiter's out to her. We quickly grabbed them and held them over our heads.
"VENUS PRINCESS POWER!" I called.
"JUPITER PRINCESS POWER" Lita called after me.
"MAKE-UP!" We called in unison.
In a matter of seconds, I was enveloped in a warm light. I felt the fuku, the shoes, the tiara, the gloves, and even V's bow disappear. Then suddenly I felt something new reappear in it's place. I felt sandals where I was once wearing heels. A flowing dress with something tied around my waist which replaced the fuku. Then - the bow tied my hair back again. No Venus transformation is ever complete without V's complimentary pose.
I had never seen my senshi in their formal attire. I quickly feigned fixing my hair to see what exactly what I was wearing.
My hair was pulled into two very small braids and were tied back with V's red bow. The dress was floor length and had a gradient effect, fading from orange into yellow. It kind of reminded me of a sunset. However it had a slit in the side which went up to my mid-thigh... which was kind of high in my opinion. The thing I felt around my waist was a gold chain. after every link was a small little plate with an orange gem attached. For once, a dress didn't feel stifling, it made me feel beautiful.
"Where to next?" Jupiter asked. I took a moment to study Jupiter's outfit. It fit her perfectly! It was floor length as well, simple... and green. It had black straps, which were tied into simple bows. Her waist was tied with a black ribbon, with a rose attached to the side. The rest of the ribbon hanging down. I could barely see but I was pretty sure she was wearing sandals similar to mine.
Lucy cleared her throat to grab our attention. We quickly handed our pens back to the shittennou so they could finally leave. "Since you two are done, the next step is to be interviewed by a fashion consultant. They will make sure all your outfits are to your specifications." Jupiter suddenly broke down laughing. What was so funny? "Lady Jupiter?" Lucy asked, concerned.
"V! It's V! You either have to import her clothes from the moon kingdom or make her new outfits from magic, because I gaurantee, if you make every outfit she gets the idea for- no one's going to have anything to wear!" She said, still laughing.
"Look who's talking Lita. At least I'll fix an old outfit, you just wear it and stuff it a wardrobe! Did you know she has about 3 armoires in her room? She can't fit them all in one! I can." I said smuggly.
Lita opened her mouth as if to say something but quickly shut it in defeat. "I guess I win." I cheered triumphantly... wow, V and I better switch soon.

*d^_^b*

"So sailor Venus, What should I know about you?" The fashion consultant asked. He was well, a guy and he seemed nervous... I think for the sake of playing the part of V correctly I'll call him Skinny.
I knew the answer to this... Let's see if I don't mess it up, and Skinny can keep up.
[A/n Last one I swear, Pretend Serenity- in the place of V is talking like one of those sterotypical girls- really fast and all over the place]
"My favorite color is orange, it reminds me of Venus, my home planet- duh, though I'm pretty sure I look good in any color- though I hate that shade of green that is heavily watered down with yellow- ugh, it's disgusting. While we're still on the subject of clothes, anything I wear has to go with the bow. My room on the moon is very tidy, blue walls, the color of the sky and green carpet, like the grass- Serenity-hime gets really jealous of it sometimes. Though I've asked more than once for marble, white marble maybe with blue mixed in... Does marble look good with sky blue... I think it does. Let's see... oh yea. DON'T EVER CONSIDER ME CUTTING MY HAIR. If. One. Pair. Of. Scissors. EVER. Comes. Near. My hair. We'll finally answer who's stronger, a boy or a girl. My favorite animal is probably a cat. I used to be best friends with one on the moon. I mean we're still friends, but I left- I hope he's not mad. He's probably not mad. He probably misses me already. Do you think he does? I think he does. He was a very good conversationalist- do animals talk on Earth? The animals on the moon do- I mean, we only have too cats- but they talk. Man, Artemis is probably really bored right now. When we visit the moon, do you think I could bring him back with me? I don't know. My favorite flower is probably a daisy... or a daffodil... They both come in my favorite colors. I mentioned those right? My hobbies are teaching and protecting princess Serenity, helping princess Serenity, organizing my things a million times- I mean it's not actually a million times but everyone says I do. I can play the violin and the flute, and I love to dress up with princess Serenity. Hah. Okay, want me to repeat that?" I asked laughing at Skinny's expression.
V has said this schpeal so many times, I'm sure it's been engraved in my brain for years. Heck, someone asks V a simple question like 'what's you favorite color?' And this starts. Myself and the other senshi make a game of trying to mouth the entire schpeal- I always win though... Goddess, I'll lose myself in this game won't I? But goddess Selene, you should've seen Skinny's expression when I finished. [It was why I was laughing.]
It was a cross between 'what just happened' 'shut up or kill me now' and 'gouge my eyes out or remove my ears... I'M BEGGING YOU!' "heheh... eh... you should see your face!"
I said dying from laughter. I'm princess Serenity, not V. I kept chanting... at least no one could tell the difference, I only hoped Venus was doing just as well.
"We're done here." he sighed. "Now, lady Venus, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go drown that experiance away- no, bang my head against the hall, and rethink my life choices." he said trudging through the door- so that's what trudging looks like. I felt kind of bad, I never got his real name.

*d^_^b*

After some time they let us go to our rooms, there they had left our luggage. I quickly dug around in the bag the actual V packed for me. 'I need the crescent compact V gave me so we could contact each other.' Lita, thank Selene, told me she wanted to contact V-who-was-princess-Serenity before I got to my room. I needed to tell her that Lita was about to call her so she didn't ruin everything. Goddess, this was riskier than I originally thought. "There it is." I stated. The mere shape of the compact started making me homesick, how long would this competition go on for anyway? I can think of that later, goal one: call V.
"Call Sailor Venus on the Moon kingdom." I stated calmly, and quietly. I could easily be caught by someone walking by if I talked too loudly. "Hello?" A wary voice answered. "V, it's me, Lita said she wanted to call you, so she'll be by to contact you in a few minutes." I whispered. "So you'll call me again later, when she's done, right?" I nodded. "Yes, of course. Talk to you later Serenity-hime." I had the sense of someone coming, which is easily developed when you live in a castle full of women with no sense of privacy, and quickly hung up. And with that I heard a knock on the door. Again, not something I'm used to, I'm used to everyone who needed me to come barging in whenever they felt like it. "Come in." I answered.
"Lady Venus, I and Lady Jupiter have come to visit." Kunzite answered bowing.
"Hey V, where's the crescent thingy so I can contact Serenity-hime." she asked a little over excitedly.
"Here, and remember, it charges in moonlight, so if it powers down- Charge It. Don't pull a princess Serenity on me, please." I asked, begging over theatrically. She grabbed out of my hands greedily when I held it out and as she turned to run back to her room, I called out after her. "Lita, don't forget to give it back before lights out!"
"See you at dinner V!" she yelled back.
"I have an unscripted question, If it charges in moonlight, how do you charge it on the moon?" Kunzite asked, almost laughing, but smiling.
"I don't know?" I said. I whispered the last part of my answer, you never know who could walk by, or when. "That's the real V's problem, and her compact to begin with."
"Speaking of dinner, the four shittennou will be making our rounds for dinner soon. We would've just told you to come down to the foyer and then escort you in, but the um... ahem... 'makeover' session ran over. Not everyone is a Sailor soldier after all, so there was no time left to give everyone a tour of the castle." He finished with a bow.
"Kunzite, is there anything- unscripted you need to tell me?" I whispered.
He nodded. "The other shitennou know that Princess Serenity is here- impersonating Sailor Venus, and they are sworn to secrecy." He whispered. "Next time you speak to V, give her my regards, if you remember." he added, almost muttering. He quickly gathered his thoughts and bowed. "I will take my leave now, Hime." he said closing the door for me. Once I was sure he was gone, I slumped against the door.
What was I going to do? First of all, I'm in a foriegn land, in an utterly compromising situation, with no idea of how long I could be gone for. Not to mention how long V or myself could keep the acts we've set up for each other. Then there was that twinge... could it be possible? Do I love Endymion? At first, I guess that I just wanted to help my kingdom -V said that the relationship between the Earth and Moon was on rough ground. And an interplanetary marriage to settle conflicts was just one way to do it, even if it meant breaking god's law. But now I believe I want to see this to the very end, because my heart wants to be forever by Endymion. I think- anyway... I could be wrong. By the time I meet my own suitors, Endymion might be married, or still in the middle of the Selection... If I don't win, or the time comes when I have to turn away from this entire thing... Endymion may not even give me a thought. Third: what happens when everything goes wrong? The slightest word could give me away. The shitennou could always tell him... but he'll think they're lying. Then he'll come see me, and I'll have to reveal myself... I can't let that mess become reality, I need confirmation for myself that he loves me [given I'm right about my feelings] and when the time is right, tell him. Till that moment, V and myself need to stick to the plan.
I wish I could write this down, but if someone found it, they would think it treason. I wish I could tell someone, but... the Shitennou are always so busy and V in my place, I know she'll have to do something almost everyday. Endymion- but he doesn't know... This thought alone made me feel utterly alone.

There chapter 4, now, can I type up the only chapter I've written that is SHORTER than chapter 1 in one day... My thought is yes- hopefully. Wow, I'm getting better at keeping things shorter ^_^ yay! Ja' ne
