I own nothing.
"Speaking" 'Thinking'
"Ugh, why does my head ache so much?" Selenity said aloud as her hand went up to her forehead. Distantly, Selenity could hear birds chirping and feel the gentle kisses from the sun. 'Birds?' Her eyes fluttered open in surprise. 'How did I get outside? Where am I?' Glancing left, right, and left again, Selenity figured that she was in a forest of some sort. Normally if she had known where she was she would be enjoying herself quite a lot. The trees towered over her to heights that she could only imagine. The leaves on the trees were bright shades of green. How sunlight could get passed the dense leaves was a mystery to her. She knew that she could not be on Earth any more, the trees were too big to be those of earth. 'Maybe I'm on Jupiter.' Jupiter was the only planet she could think of that could possible be home to these giant trees. 'Maybe this is just a joke from the girls and mama and papa.' She thought. "Guys! I get it, I'm laughing. Come on, get me out of here!" She called out. After several moments had gone by with no reply, she began to cry. Tears rolled down her cheeks as it dawned on her that it was not a joke. If the others had seen her cry they would most definitely have come running to help her. Selenity wiped her eyes and decided not to be the typical cliché 'princess in distress,' she would save herself.
Looking down, she saw beautiful flowers of all colors surrounding the base of the trees. Suddenly reality dawned to her. 'The ball! Everyone must be so worried. How long have I been here? How did I get here? Last thing I remember,' her thoughts trailed off there as she remembered Luna-P. She looked around her to see if the small black ball was anywhere near. Instead of finding the sphere, she found her star locket. 'Where'd that ball go?' She held the locket and put it around her neck.
Deciding that sitting around and doing nothing would not help her situation; Selenity got up and began walking with the locket hanging from her neck. She had no idea where she was going but figured that eventually she'd walk into a city, village, or town.
What seemed like several hours had gone by and Selenity was still in the forest. This time however, she was in a small clearing. She couldn't tell if she was walking in circles or the forest was that large. Selenity sat on a nearby stump and began to cry. As a child Selenity imagined herself the hero in her father's bed time stories; the legendary soldier of love and beauty, Sailor Moon. Later, she found out that her mother was in fact the one and only Sailor Moon. And since then she had promised herself that she would never be weak or dependent on another's strength. She looked up to her mother and wished, more then anything to be like her. As Sailor Mini Moon, Selenity would look up to mentor and, many times copy her. 'Now look at me. I'm some pathetic princess that can't even find her way out of a forest.' Selenity continued to merely sit and do nothing. The tears stopped flowing and the memories of fighting evil with Sailor Moon and the other Sailor Scouts came back. She just sat and pondered memories from long ago.

His head quickly turned in the direction from which his ears told him, came a sound. Generally he would think nothing of it, but the sound was not that of a normal forest creature. Since he could walk, he had wandered these forests and knew it like the back of his hand. He knew every creature, plant, and inch of his forest. The sound he heard was new to him. Despite his excellent hearing, he still could not tell what he had heard. The sound was soft and muffled, then abruptly stopped. Luckily for him, he was a master at tracking and quickly went in the direction from which the sound had come.
Without making a sound he hid behind a tree and peered into a clearing. Upon a stump, he saw a maiden in an elegant white gown crying. What caught his attention was her hair. It was the most peculiar hair color he had ever seen in his very long life. Only in nature had he seen such a color and even then it was rare. Having gotten over the initial shock of the color of her hair, he noticed the style in which her hair was put up; her hair was wrapped around in the shape of two cones with the rest cascading down in two streamers. He could not see her face but knew she was beautiful. 'Surely she must be an elf. No human could possess such hair.' But it was then that he noticed her ears. They were rounded and not pointed as those of an elf. He was surprised to find that he was disappointed. And before he could stop himself, he let out a loud sigh.
'What was that?!' Selenity thought as her head quickly whipped around and peered in the direction from which the sound had come. She could tell that it was from a human. With hope that this person could help her, she called out. "Hello? Is someone there? Come out."
'Her eyes!' was all that he could think. 'They're red! What kind of creature is she? Surely she is not dwarf, man, nor elf; and certainly no orc or troll. Her voice, sounds like that of an elf. Who exactly is she?' He couldn't help but step out of the shadows and move towards her. "Are you lost milady?"
Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the man who stepped out of the shadows. The man was tall and had long white-blond hair. He wore a dark green tunic which seemed to almost enable him to become invisible in the trees. Selenity noticed that he could not be an ordinary human being, his ears were pointed. However she could not make out his face because he had stepped into the rays of sunlight, shadowing his face. In his hands, the man held a bow and he had arrows upon his back. The strange man took another slow step towards her so she could see his face. Selenity gasped as she saw his soft blue eyes. They reminded her of her mother's own eyes; they were kind and meant no harm. Selenity decided to answer the man truthfully, "Y. yes, I'm afraid I do not even know where I am. If you could be so kind, which planet is this?"
The man gave her a queer look and replied, "This is Middle-Earth. Are you alright?" 'How could she not know that she was in Middle-Earth. Are there other planets even out there? Is she from one of them?'
"Middle-earth?" she said softly to herself. 'Where is that? Where am I?'
"Milady? Do you need some help?"
Selenity looked up into the stranger's eyes with tears daring to fall. She could see the kindness in his clear blue eyes, like her mother's. She nodded slightly and wiped away a single tear.
"My name is Legolas. I know these woods very well, is there anywhere you were trying to go? Maybe I could help you get there."
"The moon."
Legolas gasped. "I'm sorry, I must have misheard. I thought you just said you were trying to get to the moon."
Selenity looked up at him with her wine colored eyes brimming with tears. "I did."
"But there is no way to get to the moon, and why would you want to go there?" 'Is she chasing a dream? If she is, then the most beautiful dreams does she have.'
By the tone of his voice Selenity could tell that he was talking down to her. 'Where am I? How could he not know of the moon? Everyone, even the youngest of children know of our royal family from the moon.' "To go home." She merely said.
"Home? Who are you?" Legolas questioned.
"My name is Selenity." She did not feel that it was necessary to tell him her title if he didn't even know of the moon. "Tell me, how do I get to the palace of Earth?"
"Earth? This is Middle-Earth. I've never heard of an 'Earth.'"
'Never heard of Earth? Now I must be dreaming, more like a nightmare.' She turned back around with her back to Legolas as she pondered where she could possible be. 'Oh no. It couldn't be.' She thought, as the truth began to dawn on her. 'But how? When? There's no possible way that I could be. But there's no other explanation. I'm in another dimension, another world.' She put her head down on her knees and began to cry once more. She knew that there was no way to get home. Long ago, when her mother was Sailor Moon, she and the other scouts used to travel through dimension. But they only way they could was together, and with the power of the Silver Crystal.
"Lady Selenity?" Legolas asked, bringing Selenity back to reality. "I can see that you have no where to go. Would you like to accompany me to Rivendell? I'm sure that once we get there, someone may be able to help you." 'Why did I ask her to come with me? I should probably just take her to a human village and leave her. But there's something about her. I hope the others don't mind a guest.'
Selenity thought about what he had just offered to her. 'Well I suppose I should go with him. He may know of someone who could help. He's right, I have no where else to go, and I don't know anyone else. I can't possibly stay here in this forest.' Selenity stood and faced him. She found that he was quite a bit taller than her and she had to look up in order to look him in the eye. Selenity nodded and said, "Please call me Rini." So they went to Rivendell together.
