From Schoolgirl to Royal 12/?
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon; none of these characters are mine, no infringement intended.
A/N: This doesn't really follow the timeline, although it is after season 1. Even though, Serena is the moon princess, Darien doesn't know that she is Sailor Moon. Just pretend that the whole evil-Darien thing never happened and the scouts defeated Beryl on their own, but didn't loose their memories. Sorry if this is confusing; if you have any questions just ask.
Serena may seem OOC in the next few chapters, but let's just say she is extremely stressed out and that explains her sensitivity and she's pissed because her family was attacked which will explain her bouts of seriousness.
A Serious Talk
After I took a shower and got dressed, I headed downstairs to make breakfast. Since I'm not what one would call a good cook I settled for cereal and orange juice. I brought my food outside on the back porch overlooking the beach; due to the early hour of the morning I watched the sunrise over the ocean.
I was so preoccupied with my thoughts that I didn't hear my father and mother's hesitantly approaching footsteps until they were right behind me. I was therefore greatly surprised when I felt a hand on my shoulder causing me to startle and spill my cereal all over the deck.
"Geez, Dad don't sneak up on me like that." I exclaimed after making a quick grab for my teetering orange juice. "Waaa! My cereal, now I'll starve!"
I was surprised to hear my father chuckle at my theatrics and when I looked up at him I saw certain tenderness in his eyes directed at me.
"Um… Serena… Your mother and I were talking all last night and… we're very proud of you." My father stuttered looking very nervous about my response, his face quickly turning red as he looked at me from his position sitting in front of me.
He needn't have worried. I squealed in delight and threw myself into my father's arms sobbing unashamedly into his comforting shirt lapels. He merely held me as I cried.
"I'm so sorry for what I said, honey." My dad whispered in my ear softly, while rubbing gentle circles on my back. "I just couldn't stand it if anything happened to you. I love you too much."
"We both do." My mother added as she too joined the hug, until all three of us were tightly wrapped in each other's arms.
"It's okay Dad, don't worry about it." I tried to reassure him as we pulled out of the tight embrace. I entwined my hand in each of theirs and squeezed in support. "I'm just so glad you're not mad. I really need your support."
"We love you and of course we'll support you, but be careful Bunny, we don't want to watch you get hurt." My mother whispered softly, squeezing my hand close to her heart.
"I know, but I'll be fine. I promise." I told them as they curled me back into their arms. "The Scouts will protect me if I get into a jam."
[I wish I could stay like this forever. In the arms of my parents I can at least pretend that I am safe, but once this moment is over the illusion will end. I will have to become the Moon Princess and leader of the Sailor Senshi, no longer just a scared teenager taking comfort from her parents. Once again the weight innocent lives will be on my shoulders…]
I don't know how long I stayed in my parents loving arms, taking what comfort I could, but I finally had to break away when I heard Lita and Mina stumbling around in the kitchen.
When my parents and I entered the Kitchen, Mina was attempting to make scrambled eggs from Lita's instruction. I say attempting because there was very little egg left in the pan; most of it was on the floor. I don't know why Mina won't just let Lita do the cooking.
"Is everyone still asleep?" I asked Lita but instead got an answer from Raye.
"How could anyone sleep with all the racket down here?" She asked in a shrewish manner, while making her way sleepily down the stairs. A few minutes later the last few stragglers had entered the kitchen and the room was filled with sounds of eating and papers rustling. I merely watched this rare peaceful moment knowing that this couldn't last for much longer with Vortar still on the loose.
