Hi everyone! Merry Christmas! Can you believe it? I'm free from school for... um ~counts on her fingers~
Seventeen days, I think, counting today, which isn't a holiday (it's Friday) but I stayed home anyhow
because around here no one and I mean no one goes to school the Friday before Christmas break.
Um, if anyone here has a normal Muse, could you tell me how? Because mine has been REALLY freaky lately! No offense, Muse, but you have..... ~sweatdrop~
*** - Scene change
**************************************************************************************
Ginny fell over in disbelief at the Moon child's words. She scrambled to her feet and stared at Serena, completely and totally one-hundred percent stunned. She knew that it must serious - Serena would never speak it unless she truly felt it. But still..... after what had happened last time with Serena's love for the traitorous Darien, Ginny had been positive Serena wouldn't love again for a while.
"Are you sure?!" She asked Serena, emotions Serena couldn't quite place dancing in her golden eyes. Serena nodded warily. "I-I think." She, of course, expecting a reaction, but the one she recieved wasn't quite the one expected. Ginny let out a yell of joy and started jumping up and down. She grabbed Serena's hands and started spinning the shocked girl around.
"Oh, this is SO GREAT, SERENA-CHAN!" Ginny yelled. Serena let out a yelp and pulled her hands away from Ginny. "People are staring, Ginny! What's wrong with you?! You're acting like Minako!" Ginny smirked. "Well, she IS my cousin, so there has to be some family ressemblance. But the really good thing is, when the others awaken they'll know what Crystal Tokyo's gonna be like, just like home!"
"WHAT?!?!?!?!?!" Serena shrieked. "Don't you dare!" Ginny ducked the blond's hands and ran for the door, Serena on her heels. Hermione, who'd just finished chatting with Ron and Harry and had turned to an interesting book, reached out without looking up and grabbed the blond's robes. Serena was forced to halt, although she wasn't happy about it.
"Serena, you cut that out this instant! We need all the Senshi we have!" Hermione barked, still staring down at her book, her chocolate brown eyes moving rapidly across the page. Serena pouted but slid down onto the bench beside Hermione, instead stealing the brown-haired Earth Princess's dessert.
***
Now, it was a few days later and Serena was very nervously getting ready to get ready for the ball. She'd fretted for a very long time about what to wear, and how to do her hair. She wanted to wear it in her normal hairstyle of odango but the problem was, the wizarding world was very caught up in legends and someone might recognize her.
"This sucks." Serena muttered moodily. Tucking her knees up, she watched the others. Ginny had chosen to go wearing a beautiful light golden dress. It had thin-silver-straps and a silver-beaded waist. Serena had then helped the Sunarian put her hair up into a bun, instead of down as usual. Ginny's accessories were all silver, to go with the beads on the dress and a necklace Draco had bought her.
Hermione, after much fussing with her hair, had decided to leave it in the one style it would behave in - a braid. She had chosen to go in a very pretty dark blue velvet dress. The dress had puffed short sleeves, and a pink rose in the middle of her breasts. A pink ribbon the same color of the rose went around the waist. The shoes were the same pretty pink, and Hermione found rose- shaped earrings and rose-colored shoes.
Serena thought both girls looked very pretty, but wanted to wait until they'd left before she started to get ready. The ball wasn't, after all, for another few hours, but Hermione had wanted to go to the library for a moment and Ginny and Draco had gotten special permission to have a dinner in Hogsmeade before the ball. Serena wished them luck and then, finally, closed the door to a silent room.
She sighed and leaned against the door, sliding to the ground. She was trembling, and before she realized it she was crying. The last time she'd gotten ready for any type of party had been with Minako, only the girl had actually remembered whom she was! "Minna....." Her voice cracked in the still silence. "Gods.... I miss you....." She started to cry harder, burying her face in her knees. "It's not fair....."
***
About a half hour later, the blond raised her head. To be truthful, as she dragged herself up, the last thing she felt like going to was the ball, where she'd have to watch her happy and oblivious Senshi be (hopefully) happy. The problem was, Serena knew she was being totally unfair in keeping the warriors of her Senshi locked away. The Senshi were a part of her friends, and no matter how Serena wished, the weren't going to go away.
But Serena also knew it would be hopeless to have a few of her Senshi together and not have the others. But she also had absolutely no idea where Ami, Rei, Lita and Trista were. And she would have seriously far better liked to have awoken them all at once. If she awoke them at all.
Serena sighed as she stepped out of the shower. She was going around in circles. Make up your mind, girl. She thought as she stepped up to the mirror. The girl inside the mirror had red-rimmed, puffy eyes and a sad smile. Serena sighed. Clearly, if she was going to do anything with Harry tonight, she had her work cut out for her.
***
Some time later, an hour and fifteen minutes to be exact, Serena examined herself critically in the mirror. Carefully, she smoothed a piece of her silvery-blond hair back into place and, after carefully whiping away a smidge of lipstick and then one of mascara, she decided it would be good enough. It would have to be - she was out of time, the ball was in fifteen minutes.
She was wearing a beautiful white dress. It was sleeve-less, with silver trim. A high waist of silver heart beads were just below her breasts. Silver strands, almost like tinsil, hugn down from the beads and were threaded through the silk white or the dress. Her hair was tied into her traditional style - two buns on either side of her head with streamers hanging down to a centimetre above the ground.
Her shoes were white with tiny silver hearts on them. Her necklace was minature silver hearts linked together, with a smaller and less heavy version of the Silver Crystal resting on it. A smaller and Crystal-less version of her necklace was around her right wrist. A silver heart dangled from a white ribbon from each of her ears.
She was wearing little and none-noticeable make-up - light, silvery pink lipstick, dark mascara, light rose blush. Her fingernails were painted a light, rosey pink color with silver sparkles mixed through it. The sparkles were glowing softly. She had decided against wearing gloves - they made her hands sweat.
Serena took a deep breath. "I guess.... I'm ready." She told the mirror.

A Few Moments Ago
And it was a very good thing she was almost ready, because her date was getting more nervous by the second. Ginny sighed at Harry's nervousness and handed the emerald-eyed boy a glass of water. "Harry, calm down. Serena isn't someone you've never met! She likes you, you like her, so sit down!" Ginny shoved the other Gryffindor down beside Draco, who'd come into the Common Room because Ginny refused to go before Serena came and Draco wasn't about to wait outside.
Draco gave Harry a wary smile, which the Gryffindor weakly returned. Although it was clear neither Harry nor Draco could pick fights with each other anymore (Ginny would murder them if they did) neither quite trusted the other yet. Old hostilities were still around, old wounds still open. It would take some time to forgive and forget.
Ron and Hermione, both of whom were seated in two large chairs facing each other playing chess, gave comforting smiles to Harry. "I'm sure she'll be along, mate." Ron said. "She's a girl, they're always late!" This remark earned him smacks from Ginny and Hermione and slight smiles from both Harry and Draco. "That is not true, Ron!" Hermione said sharply. As Ron cringed away from his prom date, they all heard the sound of a door opening.
There were footsteps and then Serena appeared. Ron and Draco's mouthd both dropped open, Harry squeaked and Ginny and Hermione both gasped. Because the ball was being held at around 7:00, it was already dark. (Although we'll ignore the fact it's already 7:15.) Serena, who looked like a goddess already, was standing in a patch of Moonlight at the top of the stairs.
Harry swallowed as she came down the stairs and smiled nervously at him. "Hello, Harry." She said softly. Harry gulped, hardly able to believe this was the girl who had fallen into his life just a few months ago. "Hello Serena." He answered before extending his arm to her. She smiled and took it. They both went to the protrait and climbed out, followed by Ginny and Draco and Ron and Hermione.
They all walked towards the Great Hall, nervous about what the night mihgt have to offer. Reaching the Great Hall, the doors opened......
**************************************************************************************
Alright, I know. But I decided the Ball's going to be split into like, two or three chapters because otherwise it'd be too long. The next part should be out sooner then next weekend, but I'm making NO promises.
Happy Holidays!
Um, if anyone here has a normal Muse, could you tell me how? Because mine has been REALLY freaky lately! No offense, Muse, but you have..... ~sweatdrop~
