Sara-Kate looked at Lena "What did I do?" She asked. Lena shrugged.
"Things are so weird here" She whispered. "Even the sky is blue" Sara-Kate nodded "I saw the pictures before I came. Whats's wrong with it?" She said quietly while the Chibi /Cosmic Scouts were busy trying to revive Ariel. Amy walked in and Sara-Kate smiled, running to hug her.
"Hi" She said simply, not knowing how to address her in their present company. Ariel looked on in shock, as the baby of the group she was the last to act like that, and was surprised to see Sara-Kate so much at home in her mother's arms.
"Mom! She's a clone!" Ariel screamed causing Amy to laugh. "Relax Ariel, she's your cousin. I didn't know she'd be coming, or else I would have warned you. She's going to stay with us for the time being" Lena smiled.
"Sara, you'll be right down the hall from me!" She said smiling. As the girls explained what they could it became obvious that Sara-Kate preferred to be called just Sara and Ariel was extremely jealous. Since the younger girls were only 5, they were simply adorable and that bothered Ariel.
They had seafood for dinner, a request from Sara. Sushi, clams, calamari, and fish were all things Ariel liked to have, so she didn't mind and dug in, but after dinner in their own apartments Ariel was told she would probably have to share a room with Sara.
"But mom…" She whined "She's a baby, why does she have to stay with me? Can't she stay somewhere else?" Sara took this as a personal insult.
"I'm a baby? Look who's crying! Do you always whine so much?" This caught Ariel by surprise and she silenced immediately. The little girl had her hands on her hip and was tapping her foot. The tone of her voice and look on her face made Ariel feel foolish, like her mother had reprimanded her.
Amy walked away trying not to laugh as she called to tell the other scouts what had happened, she'd let the girls sort things out on their own. Ariel was still shocked as she headed to her room, Sara behind her. When Sara had arrived Stardust-V had come into her possession and it waited in Ariel's room. Both girls changed into their PJs but when Sara tried to get into bed Ariel stopped her.
"Oh no you don't, you sleep on the floor." She said haughtily. Annoyed Sara tried getting in, only to have Ariel push her roughly to the floor. Sara grinned evilly and started crying, forcing Amy into the room.
"What is going on?" Amy asked Ariel as she lifted the crying 5 year old. Sara calmed slightly, shooting a smug look to Ariel when Amy wasn't watching her. Amy lectured Ariel and put Sara in bed. "Be nice Ariel, I don't want more problems." Amy told her daughter sternly.
Cross, Ariel went down to Madelyn's apartments when her mother wasn't looking, she'd get Gloria's help in order to get even with Sara. The thought smiling as she fell asleep.
Rini watched as Amy scolded Ariel for sneaking out. She yawned and smiled at Lena who offered her more pancakes. 'She's not so bad' Rini though, having already heard Ariel's account of how Sara got her in trouble. She was grateful that Lena wasn't like that.
"Rini, can we hang out today?" Lena pleaded.
"Sorry Lena, I got to go to school today." Rini explained to the little girl who sighed. "Alright then, I guess I'll wait till later" Lena said as she ate her breakfast.
Rini sighed, the little girl stuck to her like glue it seemed, everything Rini did she tried to do as well, but Rini didn't blame her. Rini finished her breakfast and hurriedly went to get ready for school, the Chibi Cosmic scouts doing the same.
Lena watched sadly, but offered a smile to Sara, who came over. "I wish we could go to school, it would be much more fun don't ya think?" Sara made a face. "No way, I like being tutored, less distraction." She said as they headed to Lena's rooms. The little girls were surprise to find Neo-Queen Serenity there.
"Hello girls, I was just getting your uniform ready. Sara, yours is in your room, why don't you run there to go get it, Amy will help you" She said as Lena's face light up.
"We get to go to school? Thank you!" She said clapping happily as Sara made a face. Lena saw the look and rolled her eyes. "Too bad Ashlynn isn't here, she'd love it"
As Sara headed back to her apartments Serenity helped the little princess into a small uniform. She seemed so excited about school that Serenity laughed. "You sure are excited aren't you?" The little girl nodded happily. "Well be careful alright?" She said as she kissed the little girl and led her to Rini's rooms.
Rini turned to see Lena, dressed in a little uniform that matched her own. She smiled and helped fix Lena's odangos without an argument. She was a pretty cute kids, and Rini felt responsible. "So I guess I'm walking you to school huh?" Rini asked herself, knowing the answer was yes. The little girl smiled happily, enjoying Rini's attention "I wish my sisters were nice like you" She said suddenly, causing Rini to frown.
"What are they like?" Rini asked her gently.
"Stella is the oldest, she's a brat. She never lets me do anything or plays with me. Aurora is always too busy reading or studying. I do have an older brother though, His name is Nicko. Although he is really busy, he tries to make time to play with me."
Rini nodded. "that's cool that you have siblings though, I don't have any, although I'm close to all the other palace kids." She said fixing the little girl's odangos.
Lena smiled at her "Rini? Thanks, you're a real pal." She said smiling before running off to get Luna P and her book bag.
Rini shook her head and smiled before heading over to meet the rest of the girls.
It seemed that the day took forever until Rini got to relax for a lunch break. She could see Lena and Sara playing in the kindergarten section, but out of now where a dark shadow appeared grabbing Lena's arm as the little girl began to scream.
