Justice for the Moon, Chapter Two
I didn't get the chance to think about what had happened to the King until
later, during Miss Haruna's history class. She told us we could chose what
era we studied as long as we did it quietly. I gathered that she had a
hangover and it was easier for her to not teach us.
I chose the Silver Millennium Era, not that I told anyone that. I had a lot to think about. The Princess' visit last night gave me a lot of that. It was weird; I had hoped that I would regain my memories of the Silver Millennium, but never in this way. I thought Luna would 'melt' our minds, but last time, I had nearly passed out. This way was more fun. Every night, when I would sleep, the Moon Princess Serenity, would visit me and teach me of the old lore and tell me of all her memories. Technically they were mine because I was the reincarnation of the princess, but they were actually hers. But our new enemy was strong, and I had to be warned of him, the evil Dark Lunarian, the sorcerer who had killed our father was back, and now I could have my revenge.
As I thought about the plan of attack, I realised who the Terran guards were. The ones who had taught the princes to fight. My old adversaries. One that I had killed and the three others who I believed had been killed because of me. Malachite, Zoicyte, Nephlyte, and Jedyte. It was painful to know and think about them now. My friends had loved them and they had loved them back. I had loved them in a friendly way but they had been brainwashed. If I had known that I would have healed them. But could I of, a thousand years memories would have been too hard to erase, even if I knew then what I knew now.
"Hey Serena!" Molly whispered, " Wanna study the Terrible Tudors with us?" I looked at her and the group mentioned. They were my friends before I had become Sailor Moon. I hardly spent time with them and felt bad, but I needed to think. I was the leader of four others and we needed to fight this enemy.
"Sorry Molly, I'm deep in thought." I replied truthfully.
"You mean, your daydreaming!" Molly said laughingly. I knew that I should just nod my head and not actually say what I was really doing, so that's what I did.
After that interruption I was able to start my thoughts again, but I didn't get any further than trying to remember where I had seen the sorcerers face before when,
"Serena!" Lita hissed at me. I looked over in her direction. She was sitting with Amy how had the Mercury computer beeping quietly away. They waved with their hands for me to go over to them. If I did, I would have insulted Molly and my other friends, so I shook my head. They looked puzzled, as they knew that I knew what they were doing. I'd have to leave the explanations till lunch, if they gave me the chance. I mouthed over to them "Lunch" and they had no choice but to nod, as they didn't want to make a fuss.
I went back to my thoughts and I knew who the dark sorcerer was just as the Lunch bell rang. I had to make a quick decision. To tell them or not? I had to, but would they give me the chance?

At lunch, I had no choice but to sit with Molly and Melvin. I hadn't spoken to either in a long time and I didn't want to lose them. Besides, they invited me. They had been my friends since my first day at school. Sure, Melvin annoyed me then, but he still does now. I knew I was letting the other scouts down, but Serenity was confident that she could defeat the sorcerer and I had all her powers. I just needed to retrain and then I would have my revenge and Serenity could be at peace. With this is my min, I was able to relax and become the other Serena, the less serious one, or rather the one who couldn't be serious however hard she tried to be.
I enjoyed that lunch. One where I didn't have to worry about youmas or the NegaVerse. My communicator went off half way through lunch, but as I saw Amy and Lita nearby, not moving, I knew it wasn't serious.
As we went back for the afternoon lessons, I saw Lita and Amy muttering softly. I tried to apologise but they wouldn't hear of it. Lita snappily said, "meeting at Raye's at six tonight and don't be late for once."
To which, Amy added, "and if you see Darien before us, tell him to come to." I could see that they were in no mood for arguments. I could also imagine them beeping Mina and Raye to tell them that I had been a bad girl and once again ignored my duties as the leader of the sailor scouts.
I didn't have the chance to reply to either statement as Miss Haruna came back in an oddly fierce mood. I think her date for tonight had stood her up. But one thing was bothering me, why at six, Raye always likes to rest then and do her fire readings. Was I forgetting something?
By the time school was over, I needed advice. And the only way to get it would be to sleep, but how to do that? If I went home and went to bed, my mum would wake me up and try to talk to me, to convince me that school was worthwhile and I should pay attention. Or Sammy would turn up his damn games or do whatever he felt would annoy me most. I wasn't in the mood for that. I couldn't go to Raye's because she would just have a go at me, as would Artemis if I went to Mina's. Amy and Lita weren't talking to me. Darien would just tell me to go home. That left no one. Or did it? What about Molly?
I decided it was worth a shot. I ran after her and linked our arms. "Hey Molly, can you do me a BIG favour?"
". What is it?"
"Nothing bad, but I'm just so tired and I need sleep yet if I go home, I know I won't get it and I thought that maybe you'd let me crash at yours for about an hour." I had dragged out the 'o' in so and she took sympathy on me.
"On one condition Serena," she smiled.
"Just name it!"
"Introduce me to Darien properly and then we go shopping and see a movie, just the two of us!" She looked at me to study my reaction and I caught her in a bear hug.
"Course I'll introduce you properly, I just thought you knew him already and didn't think about it. And you know me, I can't resist a shopping spree!" I laughed out loud.
"Just the two of us and not Amy or Lita or Raye or however your new friend is?" she looked at me pleadingly. I couldn't refuse her, even if I wanted to. I gave my word and listen to her rant about Melvin as we walked to hers.
I was only half listening to her though. She had given me something else to think about. "Or whoever your new friend is" the phrase replayed itself over in my mind. It was true, she had not properly met Mina nor Darien and I had been neglecting her. My best friend of about ten years. I couldn't believe that I had drifted so far away from her and not even noticed. It was scary, but I vowed then and there to not allow it to happen again. I forced myself back to reality and listened to her.
"And then, he went and to this other kid and opened his mouth, he ran behind his mummy scared stiff!" Molly's laugh was infectious. The thought of that happening to Melvin was enough to send me into my hyena mode, but her laughter sent me over. Pedestrians looked at us strangely as we walked, clutching each other to stand up properly.
By the time we reached her house, I had an hour and a half before I had to be at Raye's. I planned to sleep for an hour. Ad then phone my mum and tell her that I was at Molly's but that I needed to see Raye and I'd hopefully be back before seven-thirty. None of it was a lie and as long as I wasn't late, I hopefully wouldn't get into trouble.
I greeted Molly's mum and we went upstairs. Molly was going out with Melvin tonight so she told me to sleep on her bed while she did her homework and then had a shower. I set her alarm to walk me in an hour, and I told her to do the same. I couldn't afford to be late; I didn't even want to think about what would happen to me if I was late. Let alone the others.
As I drifted to sleep, I found the person I most needed to talk to, was already there. As usual we hugged each other. It felt strange to be hugging someone who was you, but, hey, this was in the land of dreams, not reality!
