Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon . . . well, duh!
AN: Sorry, but this chapter is really short and corny! ^_^ I wanted to emphasize the whole fairy tale thing. The fairy tale is pretty important to the story (well, at least to the ending that I'm thinking about). I also wanted to show how Serena is childish at the beginning and matures throughout the story! Okay, now that I've gotten that out of the way . . . on to the story!

Chapter 4: The Fairy Tale
She slammed her door shut, enraged by the occurrences that took place that day. Thankfully, she escaped unpunished. Grabbing her clothes, she made her way to the bathroom to take a relaxing bubble bath. Her leg ached as she submerged it in the warm water. Surrounded by bubbles, Serena soaked in the tub. She couldn't let him get to her like this. She WOULDN'T let him get to her like this.
"Serena! You've been in there for an hour!" her annoying little sister, Yuki, hollered. "I have to take a bath! So get out, NOW!"
Grumbling, Serena stepped out of the tub and shivered. She hurriedly grabbed a nearby towel and dried off. As she slipped into her warm, thick bathrobe, her impatient sister knocked again.
"All right! Hold on!" Serena screeched.
She swung open the bathroom door and let her agitated sister into the bathroom. After she waddled downstairs to grab some milk and cookies, she kissed her mother goodnight and returned to her own bedroom. She stepped cautiously around the piles of junk and made her way towards a mahogany desk in the corner of her room. She rummaged through the random things scattered upon her desk and managed to uncover a thick leather book, its rich, blood-red cover embroidered with gold. Opening it gingerly, she flipped through countless pages of illustrations depicting mystical lands, dragons, and handsome princes. Serena then plopped onto her bed and began to read where she left off the night before, attempting to erase the memory of the day from her mind.

[AN: This is where she is reading from her book. I tried to put it in italics, but my computer is so old and messed up! @_@ It ends where it says 'the end' (well that's obvious) Just wanted to clear things up! Please continue . . .]
He fought off terrifying dragons and evil ogres to rescue the princess. With one kiss, he would free her from the enchantment placed upon her by the devious witch. It was ancient magic. She would not be able to leave the prison tower as a human. Every time someone had managed to help her escape, she turned into a monster and crept back into the ominous tower.
He had to break the spell. He had to free his true love. So, he broke open the door and climbed the winding staircase towards the top of the tower, where his love was being held prisoner.
Finally, he found her, chained up, sobbing in a damp, stone chamber. When she realized he had come, they embraced, staring deep into each other's eyes.
"I thought you would leave me . . . " she sobbed, her tears flowing freely down her face. "How could you ever love a monster like me?"
"I would never leave you." He whispered into her ear. "I love you with all my heart, no matter what."
As he leaned towards her, she closed her eyes, awaiting her true love's kiss. With the touch of their lips, they both felt a shock run through their bodies. Fireworks danced within their heads. Something about it felt right.
There was no denying it. They were in love. Truly in love.
With that kiss, the spell was broken. They laughed merrily and he swept her off her feet. He ran down the staircase, his love clinging tightly to him.
Together, they ran away into the darkness of the night, the stars twinkling like a million tiny diamonds in the sky.
And they lived happily ever after.
THE END
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena sighed as she closed the book. Fairy tales had been her favorite since she was a child. She loved the adventure, the magic, the romance.
How she longed to find the true love she read about in her childish stories.
Silent tears rolled down her cheeks as she clutched her book close to her chest. She breathed deeply, her chest rising and falling. Her eyes fluttered and began to close. She had forgotten all about what happened that day. With one last sigh, she fell asleep, one thought resounding within her head.
Would she ever find true love?
