This story was originally dreamed up almost a year ago, so I decided to fix up a lot of things and re-post it because a lot of people liked it the first time and I'll make it better this time.

Diana's Desire

Chapter 1: Am I Still Just A Kitten?

**Diana's point of view**

I was just asleep on Rini's bed, as a cat, when Rini stormed in. She seemedvery happy with a wide grin on her face.

"Diana, there is going to be a huge ball at Hotaru's palace tomorrow! I haven't seen Hotaru for a while and all the other scouts will be there. I can't wait!" she said excitedly.

"That's great! Hey Rini do you think I can go? I've never been to a ball and I think I'm old enough now." I said very hopefully.

"Well everyone in our kingdom is invited Diana but I hope your parents let you come, we would have so much fun. You have to ask Luna if you can go." said Rini, twisting her powder pink hair around her finger, her hair now reached her waist.

"Okay, I'll look for her now." I said anxiously.

In my human form I am a girl of 14, which is my age in full years. If I turn into a human I'm about the same height as Rini. In my cat form I'm almost full-grown as a cat. I'm from the planet Mau, like my parents Luna and Artemis. Cats from Mau can turn into humans. We live in the palace in Crystal Tokyo because my family is the guardians royal King, Queen and Princess and we used to be mentors and my mom was once Queen Serenity's pet cat. I am Princess Rini's cat and guardian.

I first looked in my parent's bedroom for my Mom. Unfortunately all I found was my Dad.



"Hey, Diana are you looking for someone?" asked my Dad.

"Actually, yeah I'm looking for Mom. Do you know where she is?" I asked as calmly as I could.

"She's out in the palace gardens with Neo Queen Serenity. Maybe you shouldn't disturb them." he said.

"Maybe you can help me Dad. Do you know anything about the ball on Saturn tomorrow?" I asked as politely and sweetly as I could.

"No, I haven't heard that much about it, but your mother and I are going." He replied.

"Please can I go?" I pleaded.

"I think you can, but it's not my decision just ask your mother, if she says she can go then you can." He answered.

"Okay! Thanks Dad. I gotta go bye!" I said in a hurry and then I started to run off to the palace gardens.

"Wait Diana, where do you think your going? I told you not to disturb the Queen and your Mother."

"I'm not going to the palace gardens Dad. I'm going to uh... Rini's room to uh...help her prepare for the ball." I felt guilty for lying to my dad but I really wanted to talk to my mother.

"Okay stay out of trouble bye Diana." he replied. Then I started going off to the beautiful gardens, but I was stopped by... Brad. He's also from Mau and he is very handsome, I guess you could say I have a little crush on him...

"Hey, Diana! So you're going to that royal ball on Saturn tomorrow right?" he asked nice and politely but that's how he was, nice and polite.

"Well... probably, maybe... well I want to." I said tensely.

"Okay great I hope I see you there. Bye!" he said nicely. I waved goodbye and then I went off to the gardens.

Now more then ever I want to go to the ball! If I went to the ball I could turn into a human and have fun with Brad, and Rini and her friends the Asteroid Quartet. It would be so great to talk to Brad and maybe even dance with him! For once I would feel like I fit in. I always feel so left out when they transform and fight, I really wish I could help them.

I finally ran out to the gardens, and there they were the Queen and my Mother.

"Excuse me Mother and your highness" I said as politely as I could. "I don't mean to be rude or interrupt but..." I started.

"It's okay Diana I was just leaving anyway." Serenity said, "Unless you wanted to ask me something?"

"No,your majesty."I said.

"Okay then goodbye Diana" Serenity said,"I'll see you at the ball tomorrow Luna"

"Goodbye your highness." my mother and I said in unison.

Then she left and I was alone with my mother.

"Diana what is so important that you had to interrupt the

Queen and I?" Mom asked.

Ignoring her question I said,"Mom are you going to the ball tomorrow?"

"Yes I am Diana..."she started.

I interrupted her and suddenly asked impatietly,"Can I go too?"

"Well...no Diana you can't, your father and I be going as our human self's"

"Then I can go as my human self too right?" I begged.

"No, Diana you are still just a kitten."

"As my human self I am a girl of fourteen."

"Maybe you can go next time Diana" my mother said nicely.

"Mom! I'm not a little kitten anymore!" I yelled angrily.

"Diana I'm sorry you weren't invited and I can't change that. Now drop the subject about the ball."

I ran off to my room crying. 'I'll never fit in' I thought as I layed on my bed. I had so many emotions running through me. 'Somehow I will go to the ball tomorrow, and nothing will stop me' I told myself, as I thought of a way to go to that ball.
