Episode 2: Songs and Lectures

Chapter #4: On To Rini's Palace
As Serena crossed the sea, she hummed a tune wrote to her from Darien:
" Who is that girl coming through the door?
It must be my Serena
Who is that girl with the meatball hair?
It must be my Serena
Who is that girl with the flowing dress?
It must be my Serena
Who is that girl that I love so much?
It must be my Serena."
"That is a lovely song you are singing Miss Serena." a mysterious voice called.
"Huh? Who said that?!" Serena cried.
"It is I, Moonbeam." said Moonbeam.
"Moonbeam?!" cried Serena. "You can talk!"
"Of course I can. What pegasus can't?" Moonbean declared. "Who wrote that song?"
"Well it's kind of a secret. You can't tell anyone all right?" Serena asked her.
"Hehe! I love secrets! I promise I won't tell anyone." Moonbeam answered.
"My boyfriend on Earth wrote it. My parents forbid it but he's so nice and sweet and ooh! I could go on for hours!" Serena squealed.
"I've been to Earth before. War bound land it is. Not a pleasant place if you ask me. Taken over by the NegaMoon. Everyone but the Royal Family." Moonbeam said. Serena remembered her horrible dream last night.
"Hey, Moonbeam, my boyfriend is the prince." Serena quietly said.
"Oh really? Well you're one lucky girl. But you'd better be careful! He could cross over to the NegaMoon's side at any moment!" Moonbeam cautioned. "Where are we going by the way?"
"To my cousin, Rini's palace. She's very nice and would probaby like to meet you. It's been her dream to see a real pegasus. She lives on Chibi Moon." Serena informed Moonbeam. They arrived at Rini's Palace.

Chapter #5: Rini Meets Moonbeam
It was a great and elegant pink palace on the ocean. Serena had Moonbeam fly up to the pointed tower of Rini's bedchamber. Serena stepped onto the window ledge. She jumped into Rini's room. All of Serena's female relatives are named Serenity. Rini is also named Serenity but sll of her relatives make up nicknames for themselves. That's where Serena got Serena and Rini got Rini. Rini was sitting on her bed working on what looked like an embroidery of a pegasus. Rini was about 10 and had a light pink hair that was put up in cone buns on top of her head. Her hair was put up a lot like Serena's because Serena was her role-model. Serena leaped on her bed and yelled
"Hey cuz!" Rini jumped about five feet in the air!
"Eeek!" She screeched.
"Hey Rini! It's me Serena. You don't have to yell!"
"Oh Serena! You scared me to death!" Rini inhaled deeply.
"How did you get up here without me seeing?" Serena pulled Rini over to the window and said,
"Look."
"There's nothing there though." Rini looked confused. Serena put her fingers in her mouth and whistled loudly. Moonbeam soared through the large window. Serena pulled Rini down to the floor as not to have her injured by the hooves of the elegant pegasus.
"Oh! Wow! A pegasus! A real-live pegasus! Where did you find it?! What's its name?! Oh please tell me! Tell me!" Rini squealed in delight.
"Hang on! Hang on! Too many questions! One at a time!"
"Okay." Rini calmed herself down. "Where did you find it?" Rini asked.
"Well, Alex, my stableboy, he and the other stablekeepers found her in the woods outside my castle." Serena answered.
"What's her name?" Rini asked as she stroked Moonbeam's white mane.
"Her name is Moonbeam."
"That's a pretty name. Moonbeam." She repeated the name in her mind.
"Would you like to go for a ride?" Moonbeam said.
"Who said that?!" Rini looked around.
"I did." Moonbeam said.
"Moonbeam talks." Serena informed Rini.
"Oh." Rini said. She looked confused.
"Well would you like a ride or not?" Moonbeam asked Rini.
"Oh yes! That would be wonderful!" Rini squealed with delight again. "You can wait for me on the roof. I have to tell my mom."
"Okay Rini." Serena hopped on Moonbeam's back and soared out the window. They flew up to the roof. Rini called to the servant. "Jinkens!!!!" She yelled. A tall austere man rushed into Rini's room.
"Yes, Small Lady?" Jinkens asked.
"Tell Mommy I'm going to Serena's castle." Rini answered.
"Yes, Small Lady." Jinkens bowed and hurried out of Rini's room to tell Queen Selene where her daughter was going to be.
"Okay Serena. You can come out now." She called to Serena. Serena and Moonbeam both popped their heads out from the top of the roof into the window.
"Okay." Serena said. Moonbeam soared back into Rini's room. "Hop on." said Moonbeam. Rini hopped up on Moonbeam behind Serena.
"Here we go! Watch your heads!" Moonbeam instructed. Moonbeam soared out of the window. Serena and Rini ducked. Rini was experiencing her dream! She was riding on a pegasus!

Chapter #6: Back to Serena's Palace
Rini laughed gleefully as Moonbeam soared through the misty clouds. They soared over the ocean and back to Serena's palace. They landed in a daisy filled meadow about a mile away from Serena's palace.
"This is my favorite meadow." Serena told Rini and Moonbeam. "That ride was magnificent!" Rini cried. Serena and Rini had a long talk in the meadow as Moonbeam munched away at the daisies. They got back on Moonbeam and rode back to Serena's palace. They landed in the garden where Serena and Moonbeam had their first take-off. They hopped off and sat on the ivory fountain base.
"Moonbeam, you can go do whatever you like now." Serena told Moonbeam.
"All right. I think I'll go back to that meadow and have some more daisies." Moonbeam said. Then, she soared out of the garden. Serena and Rini walked back toward the castle. Just then Jason, the teacher's aide, came rushing out into the garden. He saw Serena and bowed.
"Miss Serena, Small Lady, Mrs. Haruna would like to speak with you about that test you took this morning. She's not too pleased." Jason disappointingly told Serena. He bowed to both girls and rushed away.
"Oh no." Serena sighed. "I'm in for a big lecture now."
"Why?" Rini curiously asked.
"I probably failed that test I took this morning in arithmatic." Serena sighed again. They slowly made their way back to the dreaded school room to be lectured on how arithmatic is impotant in Royal Lives.
