Serena's Weird Training

The next Morning after Sonic's battle with the Dark Kingdom Serena screamed as she noticed that she's late for school again.

"I'm Late! I'm Late!" Cried Serena. Storming out the door.

"It's the same," sighed Luna sitting outside, "every single morning." Serena kept running until she made it to the front gates.

"Oh hello! Molly!" she called as she waved at her who was also approaching the gates.

"Hi there!" She called back and they both smacked hands in a high five.

"You overslept to, didn't you?" Asked Serena winking.

"Come on," sighed Molly, "I'm not you. I was doing my homework."

"We had Homework?" Cried Serena.

"Homework, nothing!" Said Molly begging to count with her fingers. "Science, math, english, social studies. Also a report for Japanese class. And the last one was embroidery for home economics." Serena fell over with her face in the ground.

"I don't care anymore." She moaned. Just then a limo pulled up and a handsome man stepped out of the back. "Wow!" She cooed blushing, "What a cool looking guy!" After the guy appeared a bunch of other girls who walked into the school, looking polite and sophisticated.

"Who are they?" Asked Serena.

"What? Don't you know?" Asked Molly.

"No." sighed Serena.

"Those girls are attending the 'Princess Seminar' at Rose Mansion." Explained Molly

"That's where Countess Rose lives, right?" Asked Serena. "The lady who moved here from England recently?"

"Yes, I hear Countess Rose is a famous aristocrat back in England." Said Molly "And some well-off parents have asked her to provide their daughters with a princess's education."

"Princess's Education!" Shouted Serena. Those words really spoke out to her.

"It's supposed to turn you into a sophisticated lady with grace." Explained Molly. But the bell began to ring they both panicked and ran inside to class.

They all managed to get inside the classroom apparently it seems Ms. Haruna didn't seem to notice that they were late.

"Let's see." Said Ms. Haruna taking out her grade book. "Your homework yesterday. Was to translate page 53 of your textbook, correct?"

Serena was asleep at her desk and she was mumbling in her dreams.

"Princess….." mumbled Serena. Her English book was covering her face. Her dreams involved herself entering a ballroom and everyone swooning over her, then Tuxedo Mask appeared and they both danced. But Ms. Haruna shouting interrupted the moment.

"Did you do your homework?" Shouted Ms. Haruna.

"Quiet!" Snapped Serena back. "How dare you address a princess so? Then she got on her kness and began to bow and beg."

"Oh, pardon me! Princess, please forgive me!" Begged Ms. Haruna. Serena began to laugh at this interesting turn of events. But sadly Serena was really laughing out loud on her desk as Ms. Haruna just stood over her giving her weird looks.

"Wake up!" She orderd. No response, "Miss Tsukino!" Serena finally awoke and she had a seriously tired look on her face.

"How dare you address a princess so?" Mumbled Serena hoping she's still dreaming. She jumped and turned to see Ms. Haruna.

"Are you still half-asleep?" Scowled Ms. Haruna. "So you forgot your homework?"

"Well," stammered Serena, "that is, how should I say this?"

"Get Out!" Shouted Ms. Haruna ponting to the door.

"Oh!" Moaned Serena standing in the hallway. "I need to stop acting like this. I need to be more aware of myself as a princess!"

"That's my girl!" Said Luna, standing beside her in the hallway appearing out of nowhere again. "Good of you to have noticed that!"

"Because otherwise, Tuxedo Mask won't dace with me at the ball!"

"What is that about?" Said Luna falling over.

The Dark Kingdom.

"Endymion!" Called Beryl he and Malachite was standing before her. "You will assist Malachite, defeat Sailor Moon, and steal back the Silver Crystal."

"I refuse! I will not join forces with anybody I will do things my way." Objected Endymion.

"I will also do things my own may." Said Malachite, after all it was my own work that allowed me to discover the location of Sonic and Tails.

"That will be fine, too." Sighed Beryl, "Once this mission is over then Endymion will go for Sonic."

"What! Why!" Screamed Malachite "I should be the one to end that rodent!"

"You may do things your way but this is to teach you where you stand in here!" Explained Beryl, "Now, Bring me Sailor Moon's corpse and the Silver Crystal as soon as possible, and once you're done with her, take down the others, they also have a chaos emerald."

"Yes, my lady," agreed Malachite, "I already have a plan in motion. He and Endymion glared at each other."

"Good." Sighed Beryl devilishly.

That night Luna went to the arcade and spoke to the game.

"Code name 0091," she spoke "This is Luna. My password is 'The rabbit on the moon makes rice cakes.' Please Respond."

"The moon rice cake are sicky." Responded the game.

"When I grilled them, they puffed up." Responded Luna.

"What's wrong Luna?" Asked the game.

"Yes, well, Serena seems to lack awareness as a princess," sweated Luna putting a paw on her head, "so I am at a loss of what to do."

"That is a difficult question. Oh, shoot…" said the Game but the screen began to flicker and it flashed off and Artemis flashed on the screen with an earpiece with a look on his face that says, 'I'm Busted'.

"Oh, Artemis…" sweated Luna in shock.

"Hahahahaha!" Laughed Artemis," You've found out, huh? Well, the communication device isn't working well today Hahahaha."

"So," snarled Luna, "you were the one giving me orders all this time? At least this explains how Sailor Venus was able to know Sonic and Tails and why they're here. In fact maybe we should go tell them about this!"

"Yeah, kind of!" Laughed Artemis.

"Why didn't you tell me!" yelled Luna.

"Well you didn't ask!" Panicked Artemis. "So, I just sort of kept on going."

"Unbelievable." Sweated Luna.

The next morning at the Rose mansion Serena and Luna were hiding in the trees spying on the lessons through the windows.

"GAAAH!" Screamed Serena.

"What is it?" Asked Luna.

"Those cheesecakes from Chalbon! They're so lucky!" Cried Serena.

"Excuse me!" Called a Butler from the ground below. "Miss, if you have business here, please come through the front gate."

"AHHHH!" She cried as she and Luna fell to the ground.

"May I help you?" Asked the butler.

"Well," said Serena throwing herself up and pleading to the butler. "I want to attend the Princess Seminar, too, is sort of what I was thinking…"

"I am sorry," said the Butler, "you must have an introduction from a member."

"Introduction…" said Serena and she picked up Luna. "Well, I was introduced to this by her!"

"I do not think we can accept an introduction from a cat." Sweated the Butler.

"My my." Laughed a high class woman approaching she has long brown hair, with a blue dress and red eyes. "You are a funny young lady. Why not? Even if it is through an introduction from a cat."

"But.." stammered the Butler.

"You talk sense!" Cheered Serena.

"It would be fun to have at least one unique person." Said the Lady. "However, I have one condition."

"Condition?" Jumped Serena and she began to count with her fingers. "But I'm no good at tea ceremonies, flower arrangement s, cooking, sewing cleaning and even dressing in a kimono. On top of that, I'm not good at school either! So…"

"It is quite impressive when there is so much you cannot do." Laughed the lady.

"Edward," called the lady, "if you please."

"Yes Ma'am," bowed Edward. And he handed Serena a gold and white disc, "The Countess's hobby is throwing a frisbee around. So, anyone wants to take the Princess Seminar must be able to throw one."

"Yes! I'm really good with these things!" Cheered Serena. "Here it goes! And she threw it just like the tiara, it went into the mansion and out the same window without breaking anything or hitting anyone."

"Good!" Applauded the Edward.

"That was brilliant! Please join the Princess Seminar." Requested the Countess.

"Yay!" Cheered Serena, "I did it!"

Later at the Hikawa Shrine everyone except Serena including Sonic and Tails were there and that's were

Artemis explained himself and Mina's knowledge.

"I'm so glad we finally got that cleared up!" Said Sonic.

"I hate to think that we were being stalked by people who we know we're not our enemies!" Said Tails.

"But it is impressive!" Said Lita, "So Serena went to Rose Mansion to learn how to be a princess."

"She'll come running back soon enough." Said Rei.

"But I admire her for actively trying to become a princess." Said Ami.

"Yes A for effort!" Cheered Sonic.

"I just hope she turns into a proper princess." Said Artemis.

"But what does it mean to be 'a proper princess'?" asked Mina.

"Huh?" Asked Artemis.

"Can't Serena just stay the way she is right now?" Asked Mina.

"Right after all, no one said she actually has to be a princess!" Said Tails.

"Of course not!" Said Artemis, "She has to be recognizable as a princess, no matter who looks at her."

"Why not?" Asked Mina.

"Listen, Unless she becomes a proper princess, the Silver Crystal won't activate it's true powers!"

Explained Artemis.

"Say, why don't we keep Serena company?" Suggested Ami.

"Good Idea!" Cheered the other girls, Sonic and Tails, decided to just go home before anything weird

happens to them.

"They're such impulsive girls!" Said Luna.

Back at the Mansion Serena was practicing with the other girls to throw Frisbees.

"Haha!" Laughed Serena. "If doing this can turn me into a princess, it's a piece of cake!" But something

was happening in the main room in the mansion, the Countess watched them from a window above.

"This is what you wanted Master Malachite?" Asked The Countess. And he appeared from a shadowy corner.

Sailor Moon's specialty, 'Moon Tiara Action,' is similar to this game. And she is a certified klutz. Explained Malachite.

"In other words," said the countess, "the girl who is good at the game, but too clumsy to graduate from the Princess Seminar is Sailor Moon, correct? But will such a Sailor Moon actually fall for our trap, I wonder?"

"She will." said Malachite with confidence. "That is exactly the kind of person Sailor Moon is."

Later all the girls were called inside for eating lessons. Serena looked like she was being crushed from the inside.

"This dress is so tight!" Grumbled Serena clutching her belly. "She noticed the other girls not suffocating. I've gotta admire them."

Then a butler poured soup in a soup bowl sitting in front of her.

"Ok everyone!" Said the Countess, "Let's eat!"

"Yay food!" Cheered Serena. She took a spoon and immediately began to slurp really loudly. Everyone stared at Serena with disturbed looks, a butler approached Serena.

"No," he whispered in her ear. "You must not slurp."

"Oh, ok!" Said Serena she tried again but she still slurped.

"No!" said the butler raising his voice, "Try one more time!" But still more slurping. He raised his voice even louder. "Again! Without Slurping!"

"I didn't know eating would be this hard!" Cried Serena. Then it was time for the next lesson. Everyone retired to the Grand Hall for tea.

"A princess's speech is more important than anything else!" Instructed the Countess. "In particular, speaking formally is extremely important. Let us make sure to speak elegantly, courteously, appropriately with refreshment." Serena just yawned. "Then, let me ask somebody to demonstrate."

"This is the same as school!" Yawned Serena.

"How about you, Miss?" The Countess asked Serena.

"Yes?" Serena rose up really quickly to see the countess next to her.

"What do you say when you offer coffee to your guest?" Asked the Countess.

"What?" Stammered Serena she spoke making all kinds of odd faces and hand gestures, "Well, um, that is.. Would you please care to have some coffee, if you would… please… if you will?" All the other girls giggled at her.

"You do not need to add such frills to your speech." Said the Countess. "In this case, 'Please, have some coffee,' would do fine."

"Oh how would I know?" Sighed Serena hanging her head.

Later that evening the next lesson carried on in the main room and waltz music was playing, this time all the girls dressed up in sparkling white dresses and began to ballroom dance with the butlers.

"Grecefully. Gracefully, now!" Instructed the countess standing in the center of the dancing room. "Un, deux, trios. In synch with the music, now. In synch. This will be the last class for the Princess Seminar. If I pat you on the shoulder, you have graduated."

Serena was naturally dancing like a complete moron she stomped on the butler's feet.

"YOU'RE ON MY FOOT!" He screamed in pain.

"Oops sorry!" Laughed Serena. She then stepped on a section of her dress and she fell forward and landed on her face. "Oh, this is Hell!"

"You certainly never change!" Said the voice of Rei. She looked up and all of Serena's friends, were there to dancing apparently they were participating as well.

"You're all here?" Cried Serena.

"It's not fair to go off on your own like that!" Said Ami.

"That's right." Said Mina. "We're here to keep you company."

"Well," grumbled Rei watching the other girls dance. "I guess everyone has at least one good point." She began to dance with anger and she began to throw her dance partner around with anger.

"Everyone has something they're not good at." Said Mina. She stared at her partner and began to move him around like a pilot controlling an airplane.

"GAHHHHH!" Screamed Serena, Mina, and Rei's partners, they all stomped on their feet.

"I can do anything but dance!" They all said at the same time.

"I'm not good at anything." Said Serena with sadness. "Maybe I can't be a princess at this rate."

The Countess walked by and began to pat the girl's shoulders, including Ami and Lita.

"All ladies who have graduated, please come to another room." Announced the Countess the other girls applauded the ones who passed. "I shall give you your certificate of graduation." They all left and Lita waved goodbye to Serena, Mina, and Rei, who were the only girls who failed.

"We failed." they all said hanging their heads.

Strange with the other girls who walked through the hall and they noticed strange statues of girls who look just them except they all look alarmed.

"This sure is eerie," said Ami eying the statues.

"It's hard to believe they're not real." Said Lita.

"You are correct!" Said the Countess as everyone turned to see her coming from behind a statue. "The wax figures here all used to be real ladies."

"What?" Shouted Ami. The Countess began to glow a red aura and began a sinister laugh and she began to change. She became a monster with a gold dress embroided with golden seashells the monster herself has a pearl necklace with blue skin.

"A monster!" Called Lita.

"I am the monster, Shakoukai! Hello I am pleased to meet you!" Then all the shells opened up and began to shoot some sort of gunk at the girls. They all were hit and they too were turned to statues.

Back in the main room the others heard the strange noises.

"Hey," said Serena, "did you just hear something?"

Something must have happened to Ami and Lita. Said Rei.

"Let's go check!" Said mina as they rushed to the room but were cut off with Shakoukai dropping from the ceiling.

"A monster!" Cried Mina.

"It is a monster!" Cried the other Butlers "RUN!" And they all ran for it, but the shells on the back opened up and shot gunk at them and they to became statues.

"Gross!" Panicked Serena.

"I am so sorry," said Shakoukai, "you failed the Princess Seminar! One of you three must be Sailor Moon, but I wonder which one?"

"Why?" Asked Serena with fear.

"Because it would be impossible for the clumsy, stupid, scatterbrained, common Sailor Moon to graduate from the Princess Seminar." Explained Shakoukai.

"She's pretty shrewd!" Said Rei. Serena had a violated look on her face.

"Hey!" Cried Serena, "this time is no time to be impressed!"

"I shall turn you into wax figures!" Shouted Shakoukai aiming her shells and fired the gunk Rei dashed behind a column and Serena just tripped and the gunk flew over her. The cats both jumped down from a balcony above and landed on Shakoukai's head and began to scratch. "I cannot see anything!" The others ran and hid.

"Ok now's the time!" Said Serena.

"Moon Prism Power Makeup!"

"Mars Power Make Up!"

"Venus Power Make Up!"

"Get off me!" Shouted Shakoukai and she threw the cats off her face. She noticed that the girls were gone. "Where have those three ladies gone?"

"I'll never forgive you for failing Sailor Moon!" Called her voice. Shakoukai turned to see the other three Sailors standing on a balcony behind her.

"I'm the warrior of love and justice Sailor Moon!"

"Likewise, Sailor Mars!"

"Sailor Venus!" They all posed.

"In the name of the Moon we shall punish you!"

"So," said Shakoukai, "as I though, one of those three ladies was Sailor Moon. Then take this!" And she fired the gunk at them again. They just leapt down from the balcony.

"I'll just burn that!" Shouted Sailor Mars.

"Fire Soul!"

The fire just stopped the gunk in midair the fire then also became a wax sculpture. Then Venus tried to attack.

"Crescent Beam!"

The beam just like the fire while it did stop the gunk from hitting the sailors the beam was also just turned to wax.

"Neither Crescent Beam nor Fire Soul works!" Panicked Sailor Venus.

"Where's Sonic when you need him!" Panicked Sailor Mars.

"It doesn't look like my Moon Tiara Action will work either!" Panicked Sailor Moon.

"OHhohohohoh!" Laughed Shakoukai approaching the Sailors. "I believe you will make excellent wax figures!"

"Oh, no!" cried Sailor Moon, "I like figurines, but I don't want to become one!" A black rose shot out and stopped the fight.

"This rose!" Cried Sailor Moon.

"Could it be?" Asked Sailor Mars.

"Good work, Shakoukai!" Said Tuxedo Mask approaching from behind.

"Master Endymion!" Said Shakoukai, "aren't you supposed to be going after Sonic?"

"Sonic!" Cried the Sailors.

"Tuxedo Mask, you came to rescue us, didn't you?" Cheered Sailor Moon.

"Sailor Moon, give me the Silver Crystal." Ordered Tuxedo Mask. "If you do, I will let you live."

"Those were not Master Malachite's orders…" whispered Shakoukai.

"What will it be, Sailor Moon?" Asked Tuxedo Mask.

"Tuxedo Mask!" Whimpered Sailor Moon, "why is this happening?"

"Sailor Moon wake up!" Shouted Sailor Venus, "This Tuxedo Mask is different from the Tuxedo Mask we know!"

"Come now!" Said Tuxedo Mask holding out his hand.

"Endymion!" Yelled Malachite appearing on the sidelines. "Do not meddle in affair not your own! If I recall your job is to defeat Sonic and claim his two chaos emeralds!"

"What might you be talking about?" Asked Tuxedo Mask.

"I have been running this operation." Said Malachite. "I will kindly ask you to stay out of it."

"The important thing is to obtain the Silver Crystal." Laughed Tuxedo Mask. "That's is all if you want something out of Sailor Moon you can take her chaos emerald!"

"What?" Sneered Malachite.

"Excuse me!" Called Shakoukai, "What should I…"

"Kill Sailor Moon!" Ordered Malachite.

"No! the Silver Crystal comes first!" Ordered Tuxedo Mask.

"No! Sailor Moon comes first!" argued Malachite.

"Crystal!"

"Sailor Moon!"

"Crystal!"

"Sailor Moon!"

"Whose order should I follow?" Sighed Shakoukai confused.

"Ta-da!" Cheered Sailor Moon approaching her with a cup of coffee, "You must be so tired! Would you please care to have some coffee, if you would?"

"You do not need to add such frill to your speech!" Sighed Shakoukai, shaking her head.

"This is my chance!" Said Sailor Moon and she used the wand.

"Moon Healing Escalation Refresh!"

She reverted back to Countess Rose.

"So," said Sailor Moon "she really was Countess Rose!" And Malachite vanished. "Now I will use my power to restore Tuxedo Mask! Moon Healing…." But Tuxedo vanished before she could finish the spell.

"Sailor Moon," Said the voice of Tuxedo Mask. "I will leave the Silver crystal in your keeping until we meet again! I guess I will need to pay a visit to your friends in the forest!"

Then all the wax statues all returned to normal.

The next morning, Serena ran to school late again, she made the decision to aim to be her own kind of Princess Luna thought she was talking plain nonsense again.

At the outer border of the forest.

Tuxedo Mask has a man size black Salamander standing next to him.

"I don't care much for this pitiful little hamlet, so burn it!" He ordered.

"Yes sir!" Said the monster he began to inhale and he blew out fire.
