Dream until dawn Disclaimer: Do you own sailor moon? No, you say? Ever wonder why? Because I do! That's right me, all mine...well Nako Takeuchi MAY have had a little bit to do with it but that's not the point, now is it? Suitors As the door to the queen's chambers opened, a tall lady with long black hair and a tint of green entered. She had received a message that asked for her presence at her earliest convenience in the queen's chambers. Curious at what this was about she left immediately. "Did you need something queen?" She asked, bowing as she spoke.. The queen placed a gentle hand on her friends shoulder so she would stand tall. She never did care much for her friends, or anyone for that matter, treating her any differently than they would for anyone else. "Trista, you know very well there is no need for formalities here." She said, with her smile never leaving her porcelain face. She walked over to her bed and gestured for Trista to do the same. "Now, as you know Rini will be turning 15 in a matter of months, and..." "And you want her to start meeting suitors and you me to be here with you when you tell her." Trista responded knowing all to well what her queen was thinking. "Well I know how she looks up to you and I just figured she would take the news better if you were there with me when I do tell her." Serena responded with hope filling every crevasse of her eyes. "Of course Serena. I will go and get her now." Trista responded with a smile matching that of her queens. With that she stood up and left the room to start her search for the princess. Not really knowing where she may be she decided that she would start with Rini's room. She rounded many luxurious halls heading strait for Rini's bed room, but when she arrived, much to her dismay it was empty. "Great." She thought, "Now where do I go?" She sat for a moment pondering on where the princess may be, before realizing that, recently the princess is always in the same place. She headed straight for the stables, knowing Rini has been practically living in there since she got her own horse a couple of weeks ago. She quietly walked in through the slightly opened door, scanning the room. She quickly spotted a pair of pink acorns curled up in a pile of hay. Rini had fallen asleep next to her horse again. Trista walked over to her and sat next down on the hay next to the child. Rini woke as soon as the hay had shifted to adjust to the recently added weight, signaling that she was no longer alone. "Hi, Trista." She said while brushing some hay from her hair. "What are you doing in here?" "Well I was just wondering if there is any possibility of me prying you out of here for awhile." "Why?" Rini questioned a little fearful that she already knew the answer to that question. "Well your mother and I wanted to talk to you." "But Trista!" Rini whined. "I don't wanna have to starting meeting princes! There all the same, arrogant and self centered." Trista wasn't the least bit phased by Rini's response. Rini had proven to be, on multiple occasions, wiser at the age of six than her own mother had been at the age of fifteen. She knew that Rini had been expecting this for a while now and ever since the last ball she attended, she has been unwilling to attend any more of her mothers balls. There, she was forced to be polite and listen to the prince's talk about their wealth and argue as to who had the biggest kingdom. Oh how she despised listing to other gloat about themselves. "Rini you can't avoid this forever, eventually you will have to talk to your mother about this." She said in a serious tone that she seldom has to use with Rini. "I can to, mother will forget soon enough." "Your mother might, but your father will not." She said with a sigh. Rini, knowing when she is defeated, finally gave in. "I suppose your right." She sighed while standing from her comfortable position in the hay. "Though I still can't figure out why someone with his intelligence could marry a meatball brain like her." She said with a slight giggle. Trista shot a look of warning at Rini, to let her know not to speak about her mother like that, before she too let out the giggle she had been attempting to suppress. With that, the duo walked into the queen's chambers together, to find out which price would be her first suitor and when he would be expected to arrive.
