From Schoolgirl to Royal 16/?
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.
Warning: Some cursing and otherwise bad language.
Shopping and Other Catastrophes
Darien along with the rest of my family and the Scouts walked along leisurely on our way to the store. Everyone was walking slowly in respect for the girls' various injuries, in particular mine although I kept insisting I was fine. I hobbled along near the back of the group hoping no one would notice the fact that I was holding my ribs tightly from time to time.
Once we got to Shang Supermarket along the waterfront they quickly separated into groups and set about exploring the store. Mom, Dad and Shingo went off in search of a basket while the girls along with Darien, and Luna and Artemis hidden in Serena's backpack went off to start looking around for snacks.
Darien ended up giving us a tour around the supermarket, pointing out where the fish and spices were to Lita who had gotten it into her head to cook dinner that night. Lita dragged Mina off by the arm to find the long-grained rice appropriate for a meal with fish. As I turned around to ask Amy a question I stumbled into Darien who was looking through the fruit on my other side, taking up half of the aisle. Before I could catch myself I fell into a rack of lobster, knocking the tank over and the lobsters to the floor.
"God, Meatball Head." Darien exclaimed sharply, helping the worker pick up the squirming lobsters. "Is there ever a time when you aren't a klutz?"
"It's your own fault." I responded angrily. "If you hadn't taken up most of the aisle I wouldn't have knocked into you, you jerk."
"So it's my fault you can't watch where you are going?" Darien asked disbelievingly.
"I was watching where I was going." I whined shrilly. "You were just in my way."
Before we could continue fighting in what I am sure would have progressed into an all-out shouting match Amy, the voice of reason, stepped in between us.
"Guys, calm down." She pleaded with us, looking around in embarrassment at the people watching us fighting. "Don't make a scene."
"He started it."
"She started it." We both said at the same time causing Raye to roll her eyes at us.
"Real mature guys."
"Give me a break, Raye. Geez!" I snarled huffily as I walked away to find my family, quickly becoming fed up with the situation. My short temper had much to do with my injuries, but I didn't think I would be able to hold my tongue for much longer without starting to turn blue from biting my tongue.
"What's got into her?" I heard Mina ask as I walked away. "She's been so moody recently."
[Gee, you think. Whatever could possibly be wrong? Hmm let's see… Vortar knows I am Sailor Moon, my moon wand isn't working properly, I hurt like hell, that Negatrash attacked my family, and we are all hiding out because I couldn't destroy him when I had the chance. Why ever would I be in a bad mood?]
"I heard that." I called over my shoulder as I walked away looking around for my family.
I found them looking at sushi of all things. My brother looked bored out of his mind and I suggested taking him for a short walk along the beach while they shopped. I think my parent's could tell that I was a tad upset because they agreed right away, even Shingo didn't complain. As we walked in silence for a few minutes I watched the waves come in on the shore. My brother was walking in the water getting splashed with each wave. He was laughing and trying to jump the waves at the same time. He looked over at me with his eyes shining in happiness, making me smile in return.
"Come on, Buns." Shingo encouraged me into the water. "Have a little fun."
Before I could protest further he started splashing me with salt water. He got pretty cocky before I jumped on him and dunked him under a particularly large wave. I was laughing contentedly for the first time in what felt like months by the time we had stopped and relaxed on the beach. We were both soaking wet and has salt stuck to every inch of our body, but I could have cared less.
"Hey, Shingo."
"Yeah?" He asked drowsily, resting in the hot sun.
"Thanks."
He didn't ask for what, I think he knew. I closed my eyes to soak up the sun and right before I fell asleep I felt a small hand clasp mine and give it a comforting squeeze.
