It was the next morning when Sierra finally woke up for the second time, rays of sunlight assaulting her face causing her head to pound harshly and her eyes to hurt. She turned her head just the slightest bit to see if there was anyone in her room and after seeing that, no, there wasn't anyone in her room she pulled her blankets up and over her face, rolling around a bit until she was in a blanket cocoon. Her mind was hazy, not being able to fully remember anything that had happened the other day, and at that particular moment, she really didn't care. She just wanted to stay in her blanket cocoon and play with her pretty black, pink and silver pin and-
She paused, looking down at said pin that she held, her expression blank for a full minute before she shot out of the bed, tripped on her covers and fell to the ground with a shout, followed by a few choice curse words.
She heard a pair of footsteps run into her room and, after looking up, seeing that it was Setsuna and Chibi Usa, let her head drop to the floor, groaning.
She heard a childish giggle above her, knowing it to belong to Chibi Usa while Setsuna walked over and helped her stand up and sit back down on the bed.
"Are you alrght Sierra? You really shouldn't be jumping around like that, especially after all the excitment from yesterday you know. "
She looked up at her then, her eyes clearly telling the other woman what her question was going to be.
"So it really did happen..? it wasn't a dream, it all is true. Getting my memories from the Silver Milenium..Being a Sailor Guardian..Usagi being my...Usagi being my older sister..? It really all happened?"
She murmered, hiding her face in her hands. Chibi Usa walked over and placed her hand on her knee in a comforting manner. She heard setsuna give a quiet sigh before she felt a dip in the bed next to her. It must be story time now.
"Yes, It's all true. I'm sorry we had to wake you up so early, but we needed your help with this. We couldn't keep it from you forever. "
"So Usagi is my older sister from back then? She's realy Serenity?"
"Yeah! She's also my Mama, Which makes you my aunt!"
She glanced through her fingers at her pink haired...Niece? Sure, lets go with that for now.
"Does she know? Does she rememeber?"
Setsuna was the one who repleid this time, placing a hand on her shoulder and she slowly brought her hands down and away from her face. Sierra sighed and sat up starighter. Not completely straight, but now her upper body wasnt parallel to the floor.
"She remembers some of her time as serenity, but unfortunatly, she has no memory of having a younger sister, Yet at least."
That caused Sierra to bit her lip and for her to start pinching the skin of the inside of her own hand with her nails. A habit she had formed when she was young. It helped disguise the pain she felt in her heart. So, her older sister didn't know she was even her sister yet...Wait, where is she anyways? Was she hurt? Is she even here?
She voiced her concerns to the two and Chibi Usa giggled, explaining to her that Usagi had stayed up all night keeping watch over her that Haruka and Michiru had to carry her to her own bed to get some rest and that yes, she was fine.
Setsuna nodded and grabbed her hand and gently pulled her up into a standing postition.
"And as for you, You need to eat, and then get dressed. We had to tell your father that you passed out from exahstion after playing in the rain so he said he cancelled your dance lesson today so you could rest. He had even went out and bought some apple juice and made some kind of homemade chicken noodle soup broth that you can drink from a cup, we just need to heat it up for you as well."
She nodded lightly and gave a small smile. Her dad was always getting worried about her, Even more so if he thought she had gotten sick. a neighbour had given him the broth recipe after finding out that she liked the soup broth ten times more than the actual soup. It wasn't her fault that she couldn't bring her self to actually eat the chicken, she just liked the flavour of it is all.
Setsuna and Chibi Usa left the room so she could change, she'd follow them upstairs when she was dressed. Once the door was closed she rid herself of her outfit, making sure to place the pin on the top of her dresser and chose a random dress from her closet. It was a simple blue dress with a two layered circle skirt. The skirt itself was cut in a squar e shape, the the shorter part of the top layer overlapped the longer part of the bottom layer.
After fixing her hair to have the top half in a braid and leaving the bottom half down she put the pin on the waistline of the dress and went upstairs.
She immediatly noticed, after walking in the kitchen that Haruka and Michiru, along with Luna were also in the room, Chibi Usa talking animatedly over her breakfast to Setsuna.
Everyone stopped what they were doing when they noticed that she was there and smiled at her, Haruka Pulling a chair next to her out, a silent invitation to sit next to her. There was already a thermos with the chicken broth sitting there, waiting to be drank.
She sat in front of it with a smile and a small thank you and quetly sipped at her..lets just call it breakfast. Luna jumped onto the table and softly padded over until she was a foot away from her and sat down, clearing her throat slightly to gain everyones attention.
"Good morning Sierra, are you feeling any better today? I apologize for yesterday, I hadn't realized that it would take up that much energy. That had been a mistake on my part."
She set the thermos back on the table again and nodded, hooking her ankles with the legs of her chair in nervousness.
"Oh, Uhm, Yes, I'm feeling a lot better now, Thank you. And Its alright, that couldn't have been anyones fault, it was..Nessecary?" She turned to Setsuna, silently asking if that was the right word to say. She nodded, smiling.
Michiru smiled lightly, resting her chin ontop of her hands, elbows sitting on the edge of the table.
"Do you remember everything from the Silver Era then?"
Sierra nodded again, unsure of what to say. She wasn't sure of anything right now. She wanted her sister to help her get rid of the awkwardness. Haruka, sensing her distress quickly spoke.
"Thats good then! I'm glad that your doing alright, and I suppose we can officially say, welcome to the Sailor Guardians, Little Princess."
Sierra, who had started to take another drink from her cup, upon hearing the nickname started coughing, almost spitting out the hot liquid. SHe stared at Haruka with wide eyes, while Chibi Usa giggled. Usagi having showed her the movie a long time ago, so she knew the joke.
But at least that had done the trick to get rid of any awkwardness, Sierra finished her broth and stood up to place it in the dishwasher while Michiru gathered up Chibi Usa's now empty plate and did the same. They all sat on the couch then, watching TV, Luna sitting in Sierra's lap while they all waited for Usagi to wake up.
Chibi Usa had turned on a show called Steven Universe, which both she and Sierra got pretty involved in, speaking up when they got to a part they liked, laughing at the jokes made. Even singing when a song played. The adults smiled as they watched, to entertained by the niece and aunt duo to really pay attention. They knew they had a few hours before Usagi had to wake up, and they used that time to quietly talk over how they would break the news to their Princess.
They kept watch on the clock every so often, spending the entire morning and most of the afternoon like this, watching whatever show came on and letting it keep the peace. Until the Tv started to play a game show and Both Sierra and Haruka got way to into it, shouting answers at the screen and whinging and/or complaining when it was wrong. All in all, it was a good morning well spent. Until Usagi Started screaming. Loudly.
Hey everyone! I decideed to post this chapter a few days early since i wouldn't have been able to on the weekend. I hadn't gotten any questions this time so im assuming there wasn't any confusion for it. I have noticed that a lot of people have started favouriting and following this story so i am extreamly happy with that and just wanted to give a huge thank you to those of who did! I am so glad you all like this so much, and it gives me plenty of energy to continue with this.
I do have a question for you that i wanted to do for later on in the story. If i can bring anyone into this story, either in the future seasons or even in the past seasons, for love intersts for Usagi and Maybe even Sierra, who would you choose and if you want, a small explanation on why? You don't have to do this of course But i'm just really curious and its something I want to look into for later chapters.
So anyways, thanks for reading and see you next time!
