Konnichiwa again!

Gomen for not updating for so long. The first few days of school are really busy (especially in a whole new school.)

R & R please. We won't update until we get at least ten reviews. Flames don't count. (And Rebecca, next time, we won't accept review that repeat the same thing.)

Writer Princess: Try my site. It's at www.angelfire.com/super2/story_fiction.

Now on with the story...

¡¡

Usag Usako Chiba and I don't own Sailor Moon. So lawyers, please don't bother us. We're too busy with schoolwork to worry about you.

W.P.: Besides, I only have two bucks, barely enough to go to pay for my yucky school cafeteria lunch in New York.

Rebel Princess

By Usagi Usako Chiba and the Writer Princess

Chapter 12

Travis and the others had arrived at Lunserven, the capital. They had been there for a few days, trying to find a way into the palace.

Then he saw a familiar figure up ahead, some one who could help them.

He was dressed in a guard's uniform.

-

Serena sighed. Two days had passed since she was brought here. She was in a tiny room in the servant's wing, but it wan't that bad, since the servants disliked Alan. They helped her adjust to everything.

She hadn't started her duties yet, since there Alan had called for a celebration. Serena would start when Beryl became pregnant, for which she was greatful.

Mostly, she wandered around the familiar palace, thinking about Darien, Rini, and the others. She missed them so much.

Right now, she was in the library, reading.

Serena's thoughts drifted off...

-

Molly was dusting the books. She was now a maid. When Alan was sent to patrol the border, she was ordered to come back to the palace to work. At least he was returning today.

She sighed.

Serena had told her about everything that happened. Molly shook her head. 'Poor her. She must be heartbroken. After all, she and Darien seem so happy together. And they even had a daughter together. I wish I could do something.'

Then she saw Serena sitting there with an open book in her lap. She was staring off into space and tears were in her eyes. 'She must be thinking of Darien and Rini.'

She started to move toward her, but then Serena stood up and left.

-

Serena sighed wistfully. Then she noticed that the sun was about to set.

'It's almost time for dinner,' Serena thought in a hurry. 'I have to go.' Even though her room was in the servant's wing, she still had to attend the feasts with Alan.

She stood up and promptly left. 'I wonder where Molly is...'

-

Serena was dressed and on her way down. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her arm. She turned very quickly.

"Travis!" she cried.

He smiled. "Hi, sis."

"How did you get in?"

"Melvin."

"Molly said that he was coming home today."

"Listen, at midnight, Darien and I will come for you, okay? Melvin told us where your room is."

"Alright, midnight."

The two seperated.

-

In the shadows, a dark figure smiled cruelly.

'So the little princess is escaping today. Well, I'll just tell His Majesty that.'

He crept away.

-

Dong, clock chimed.

Midnight.

Serena was ready.

She crept out and met the shadowy figures. "Lets go."

"I think not," came another voice.

Serena spun around. Alan!

Quickly, she ran, Darien and Travis following. Alan chased after them.

At the gate, guards were waiting.

Then Travis let loose a sharp whistle. Servants appeared with swords and started fighting against the soldiers! Melvin was leading them.

Following them was Mina and the girls, and Mal and the guys. They were on horseback and they were leading three extra horses.

"Come on!"

They ran and swung up on a horse.

More of the rebel cause poured in. They were winning.

But Alan wasn't defeated so easily.

"Reinforcements!" He bellowed.

More and more guards appeared. They were outnumbered six to one.

Sorry for the (semi) cliffhanger, but if you want the next chapter posted by the end of next week, then review please.

Until Next Time, Ja!
