The Wheel of Fortune
Chapter Three: I Had Another Day-Dream
Author: Awen WindRider
The following fan fiction is a different type of alternative reality story. I don't think any
summery that I write myself would give it justice, perhaps those of you in the review
world may offer forth some sort of summery after you have read a few of the chapters.
This story has been in the works for a long time. While you may find yourselves reading
several chapters a week, it may take time for new chapters to come out, simply because
I'm getting ready to move to Okinawa with my husband.
I hope you all enjoy. Please review and let me know if you like what you see. It's been a
long time since the days I wrote under the name 'Zorina Skye' and hopefully those of you
who remember those stories will see a vast improvement since then.
Disclaimers: All rights reserved to those who hold them, but the story is mine. And
frankly, I think I can say hands off.

"Princess! Princess Serenity!" A voice called out in frustration. "Selene be damned,
Serenity! Princess Serenity! Where are you?"
"Where could she be? The Prince of Earth will be arriving any moment!" Added the
second voice.
"I'm sorry, your highness. You know how she is when she sets her mind to things, she
could hide in plain sight and no one would know she was there." Continued a third.
And it was true, she was hiding. Not necessarily in plain sight, but in earshot of her
mother and her own royal guard. She bit back her own laughter and slipped away from
the small throng of Senshi that had accompanied her mother in their search for her.
"Gotcha!"
"Mars! Lemme go!" She squeaked indignantly.
"No way, Serenity."
"It's not fair, you always find me!" She whined.
"Don't start with me. You know the Prince is going to be here any moment now and it's
all because of you that we had to make contact with them to begin with, running off to
earth on your own like you do."
Serenity blushed furiously. She was scared of Endymion as much as she was drawn to
him. His eyes were the color of the Terran sky, his hair as dark as night, and he was twice
as big as any Lunari man, but there was something about him that drew her from her
hiding place in the forest toward the man who lay silently, stripped of his armor, soaking
up the summer sun.
She'd crept up on him and he'd leapt upon her with the grace and strength of a great lion.
She giggled, remembering the look on his face when she gasped, her silvery hair lifted
unnaturally by the wind behind her as he had tackled her to the ground and stared up at
him, her own cerulean eyes flecked with silver wide in both curiosity and surprise.
Of course Mars didn't know of the undignified situation that she had found herself in with
the Terran Prince and how they'd stared into each other's eyes for what felt like an
eternity.
He had demanded her identity, and she had demanded his, neither had been willing to
reveal to the other who they were, but when his guard and her guard came in search of
them they sprang apart, he reaching for his armor she making a b-line for the trees, only
to be nabbed up in a Venus Love-Me Chain.
She tumbled indignantly toward the ground, and he dove to catch her, cushioning her fall
and cradling her body with his own. Instantly he was ordering his men, his generals
taking defensive positions and arming themselves against the female warriors that
descended upon them while he bolted away with his prize slung unceremoniously over
his shoulder in a race for his horse that would carry them to safety.
Little did he know that it was his horse that would be his own undoing.
The girl over his shoulder had been laughing and giggling as though it were all just a
game, but when he made move to throw her up into the saddle, she took one look at his
stallion and shrieked, "MARS! MARS! It's a monster!"
The women who had engaged his men fell on them again and the magickal chains that
held the girl melted away as she ran toward the women, wearing a red Sailor Suit. "Mars,
it's a vicious, horrible beast!" She shrieked indignantly, forgetting that while the senshi
each commanded an element, she commanded them all as a life giving and life stealing
force.
Mars glanced at the confused human and burst out laughing. "Princess Serenity, it is only
a horse!"
The man, confused by the actions of the angel that he'd only moments before ensnared,
stared at the strange women who were laughing at the silver haired one backing away
from them, her head dropping slightly in embarrassment. "You mean it's not a monster?"
She asked sweetly, her innocence heard clearly in hear confused voice.
He smiled. "No, it is a beast of burden, one which carries men and women."
Serenity's eyes widened in newfound curiosity. "It will not harm me?"
He laughed. "No, my Lady," he answered, completely enchanted by the way she seemed
to float toward his steed and look at it as though it would jump out at her at any moment.
"Not if it is treated well."
"Your highness! Prince Endymion...!"
"Malachite! Calm yourself, all is well. I seem to have caught myself a Princess and her
guard, but never have my eyes fallen upon such a princess as she."
Serenity looked up at the man and blushed furiously. A prince! Not only had she broken
her mothers strictly set laws and seen an earthling, even worse; she'd found their
prince… but oh, he was beautiful to look at!
"Serenity, your mother will worry if we stay away much longer. Your follies have led us
into enough trouble this day." Venus said, a twinkle in her eye as she eyed her Princess
and the Earthman who had saved her form her own guard.
"Come now, my Good Lady, I highly doubt that these follies have lead to much trouble at
all," Endymion spoke, his voice velvety and rich, drawing in the younger Serenity.
"Please Venus, may we stay, just a little longer?" She implored. "I'd like to explore, just a
little." She pleaded, but her voice was more commanding than pleading. It said without
actually saying it, 'We are staying until I am damn well good and ready to leave.'
Venus scowled defeatedly. "As you wish, your highness," she ground out through gritted
teeth, for she knew the penalties of covorting with Earthlings.
Serenity smiled and clapped. "Please, Endymion…tell me about this beast you call a
horse."
"Rather than tell you Princess, how about I show you?" He asked, his eyes running up
and down her body. Something about the princess before him made him hungry, and that
hunger flowed through his veins. He was simply more than eager to have her back in the
circle of his arms again.
Mars stepped forward, her fist clenched only to have Venus raise a hand and call her off,
not liking the way that the Earthman gazed upon her Rabbit.
"Show me?" Serenity had asked innocently, looking back at her senshi and then at the
creature before her.
"Yes, my lady." Endymion laughed, lifting her up onto the back of the horse and leaping
up cleanly behind her. He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her delicate form
against his half armored, bare chested beody and gripped the reigns with the other.
"YA!"
Venus felt her blood boil, they'd listened to the orders of their princess as was their duty,
but as the horse reared up and bolted through the tree line she barked out a single order:
"After them!"
And it was that day that the Prince of Earth and Princess of the Moon began to fall in
love, but it wasn't until months later that they would meet again, this time formally, and
Mars was making sure of it.
"Serenity, you were the one who snuck off, and you were the one who was so excited
about his arrival. You can't run now! You have to see him. Your mother has changed the
law so that this meeting could be arranged. We're tired of watching you sulk each night,
staring up at the Earth!"
"But Mars, I don't sulk..."
Mars sighed and wrapped her arms around her Princess and placed a chaste, but loving
kiss upon her lips. "What do you call standing out on your balcony each night, entranced
by the earth-light, sobbing brokenly?"
Serenity pouted. "I don't call it sulking. I call it missing."
"Serenity, you know I love you, and I know you love me too, but I also know that you
love and adore one Terran Prince, and it wounds me to know you suffer like this."
Serenity scowled and wrapped her arms around the Martian Princess' neck. "It frightens
me, that I long for a man so"
Mars laughed only to be interrupted by the very prince they'd been discussing.
"My dear, Serenity." He said, his voice hoarse, "Is that all you call it?"
"Endymion!" The silver haired princess shrieked running toward the Terran.
Serena's eyes popped open and she took a deep shake breath. Her mind began to chant
over and over, ground and center, ground and center.
Her mind came back together, scattered bits and pieces of a memory found in her dreams,
bits and pieces of memories she hadn't dreamed filtered into her mind and began to fill in
the gaps.
In her sleep beside her, Raye stretched and rolled away from her and Serena let out a soft
sigh of relief. She remembered her being in her dream. She remembered how soft and
yielding she had been toward her even then. She remembered, somehow, that she was
just as important to her as he was, just as she was now.
Had they been lovers then as they were now? Had they been more? But these questions
were unanswered as her mind drifted back to her dashing Prince.
She remembered him. She remembered his name. She remembered how hard, yet soft and
demanding his lips had been. She remembered the taste of his mouth pressed against her
own. She remembered how her body burned when he touched her. She remembered the
way his lips burned as they traced their way down her neck.
She remembered how when Raye had kissed her, how much she'd longed to love her the
way she loved him. She'd wanted more than anything for Raye to make her blood grow
hot and cold and for her soul to explode into it's own universe when she kissed her, like
when he kissed her.
Serena's eyes widened as her breath came quicker and quicker. Was she going crazy?
She sat up, her feet hanging over the bed and pushed herself to her feet, instantly
regretting leaving the warm bed she and Raye shared, the cracked window let a steady
stream of cold air filter into the room and prevented it from overheating.
"If you don't let me help you with this Serena, I'll never forgive you!"
The voice slammed into her head and nearly knocked the petite blonde off her feet. Raye's
face had turned back toward her in her sleep, her brows furrowed deep in thought, the
look spoke of pure determination, and the voice that had nearly knocked her over, was
Raye!
'I'll help you with this assignment Usagi-chan.' Came a second voice.
'We haven't known each other long enough yet to give up now...' Whispered a third.
She grabbed her head and groaned. Everything was all mixed up, everything was just
wrong. She could feel it inside and it tormented her. Glancing at the clock she realized
how late it was. She sighed. 7:30. She had an hour to be dressed and ready for the party
at GKK.
She groaned inwardly and rummaged through her closet, hoping to find something that
would be suiting for the punk show that the brothers were putting on.
It was clear that Raye was out of it, and knowing that the priestess slept as deeply as she
used to these days, it was very clear to her that Raye wasn't going to be up anytime soon,
and Serena was almost relieved that her girl friend wouldn't be accompanying her to the
nights festivities. She needed time away from her raven-haired lover to clear her head
and make sense of what was happening in her mind, in her dreams, and also coming out
in her writing and her art.
Smiling softly, she pulled out a pair of oversized, low rise carpenter cut jeans, Raye's
black net long sleeve shirt and pulled over her head a Samael baby t-shirt. Humming a
sweet sad melody, she slipped dozens of black rubbery bracelets over her wrists and then
yanked her GKK sweatshirt over her head. Rather than smoothing her hair down she ran
her fingers through the thick tangled curls, and then shook her head.
She was more than ready for the night's coming activities. While Raye frowned on
Serena's partying on a weekly basis, Serena herself looked forward to at least one night a
week when she could cut loose of her inhibitions and spend time with the brothers of
GKK of who she was a sweetheart to. Her mind drifted off for a few moments, lost in
last weekends 70's party had been incredible, but the punk show that was going to be put
on by the alumni and the pledges was something that she'd enjoy; dozens of freshies
hopping around with instruments pretending they were singing and playing to music that
was chosen and choreographed by the alumni.
'I'll help you with this assignment Usagi…'
The blonde froze, the voice echoing in her mind clear as day and leaving her trembling.
Taking a deep, steadying breath, she steeled herself against the invading voices and
thoughts that were terrorizing her. 'Leave me alone!' She answered silently. 'I don't
know who this Usagi is!'
She needed this break from the emptiness that had been consuming her, and that was
something even Raye wasn't going to argue with her tonight. Not now. Especially not
now.
Making a grab for her keys, Serena stepped out of the room, careful not to spill too much
light inside and not to wake up Raye.
