Children of the Moon

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon! Naoko does (and Kodansha and Toei etc.)! However, I did invent some new characters for this story.

I started writing this story to explain a drawing I did one day. I won't say to much, though - I don't wanna ruin the story! Enjoy!

Chapter Two - The Discovery

Years passed, and life in the Moon Kingdom was fairly uneventful. On the morning of Angelica's 13th birthday, Serenity took her out for a ride in the forest so that everyone at the palace could organise her birthday party without Angelica getting in the way.

"I wonder what kind of party I'm having," said Angelica to Serenity as they rode along, the sun falling onto the path in patches where there was a break in the trees.

"Who said anything about a party?" asked her sister innocently.

"Oh come on Sery, they do this every year!"

"Alright then, of course they are, but my guess is as good as yours as to what kind. I imagine it will be pretty spectacular, though, now that you're growing up." Serenity thought back to three years ago, when she herself had been 13. She'd never been to a grown up party before, and it had seemed so magical to her...

THUMP! A loud noise disturbed Serenity from her daydream. Startled, she look round and sawthat Angelica had dismounted her horse and was thrusting the reins into Serenity's hands.

"Here, hold Nokamis for a second, would you?"

"What are you doing, Angelica?"

"I want to see what that thing glinting in the water is." Serenity saw that something was gleaming in the light, underneath a waterfall.

"It's probably just a piece of glass or shell, Angelica, don't go down there, if your hair gets wet it will take me hours to fix." It was too late, Angelica was determined to see where the glow was coming from. Soon she reappeared through the waterfall with something in her hands.

"Look! It's a crystal, and it all sparkly and silver!"

"Wow, Angelica that's beautiful, be careful with it though, I'm sure it's very precious. What are you going to do with it?"

"I don't know yet, I think maybe we should take it back to the palace and show Mum and Dad."

So Angelica climbed back onto her horse, Nokamis, and together they rode back towards their home.
