A/N: OMG, I can't believe it!!!! Exactly 2 people (not including myself.)
reviewed me!!!!!!! Thank you ever so much you guys! Anyway, so that was the
prologue, where Patience (I) brainstormed the whole story idea. The rest,
up to the epilogue, is that story that she "wrote". *muttering* Stupid
Patience.
Disclaimer: He, he, I forgot to put this at the beginning of last chapter, silly me. Okay then, Sailor Moon is by Naoko Takeuchi and Beyblade is by Aoki Takao (or Takao Aoki, I'm not sure which is his first name, but I guess it doesn't really matter :P). Any completely lameass characters I have invented out of the depths of my twisted imagination, so there. Oh and I guess Ash and Gary are copyright of Nintendo (at least I'm pretty sure).
SELENE'S SIDE OF THE STORY
The untold story of Queen Serenity's youngest daughter
Chapter One
"Serenity, Selene, come here please," Queen Serenity called to her two young daughters. They appeared in almost an instant. Serenity, who was ten, had been named after her mother. Her straight blonde hair was up in two buns at the top of her head. From each one hung pigtails which reached to her shoulders. She had big bright blue eyes, which watched her mother attentively. Selene, on the other hand, was eight, and nothing like her older sister. She had wavy bright pink hair, which ended a short way past her ears, and pretty, almond-shaped reddish- brown eyes. Also, unlike her sister, who behaved very well and acted just like little princesses should, Selene had boundless energy, which got her into all sorts of trouble. While Serenity very much enjoyed being in the palace, Selene would much rather be out in the park, Beyblading with the boys.
"Yes, mother," the girls answered in unison. Here we go, thought Selene, what did I do this time?
"Well girls," began the queen, "I thought I should tell you, that we're going to have some important guests coming round later today, so I'd better remind you, not so much you, Serenity," she added, "To behave yourselves. Selene, I know how much you like to play with people, but I would highly appreciate it if you did not disturb us," she said to her daughter, not harshly, but as calmly as she would speak to anyone else.
"I believe they have a son about your age Selene. Maybe you could play with him while we talk. Alright girls, you may go now," and with that she ended. The princesses curtseyed to their mother and left the room and went outside. Once outside, Selene spoke to her sister.
"You know, I wish mother would stop assuming it's always me who makes mistakes," she said in an annoyed tone.
"Well Selene, you do misbehave a lot more than I do," Serenity said innocently.
"Oh be quiet Serenity! You know, you're such a mummy's girl, I can't stand it!" And with that she stormed off, leaving Serenity very taken aback.
Selene was in a very bad mood once she got to her room. She hated her sister, always being so perfect, never getting in any trouble at all. 'Take an example from Serenity, why can't you be more like Serenity?' her mother's words rang in her ears constantly. She hated her mother too, always comparing her to Serenity.
By the time she had finished silently fuming, Selene had changed into her "street" clothes and found her Beyblade. If it was one thing that took her mind off everything, it was Beyblading. She quickly made her way to the palace wall. Making sure that no one was looking; she climbed up the tree near the wall, onto the wall and then jumped off.
Despite being both very young and a princess (she generally wasn't supposed to climb trees, let alone jump from a great height), she managed to land very easily on her feet. Then, Beyblade in hand, she ran swiftly towards the park. When she got there, she saw a whole bunch of kids gathered around the beydish. Sensing trouble, she ran over and tried to see what was happening. As she got there she saw her friend Tyson, standing ashen-faced with his Beyblade knocked out of the ring. She quickly found her group of friends, who were all standing behind Tyson and asked, "Hey guys, what's going on here?" It was Ray who replied, his cat-like yellowish-brown eyes quivering.
"This kid here just showed up and challenged us to a Beybattle," he said, jerking his head to the other side of the ring. "He beat us all."
"What! He beat all of you?" she exclaimed. "You and Max and Tyson?"
"And even Kenny." added Max.
"But. but you guys are the best Bladers around! No one can beat you!" Then for the first time she looked across the ring to take a look at the Blader who beat her friends. He didn't seem much older than herself, maybe a year older, with messy hair, a slate grey at the front and then a deep blue at the back. On his face there were two blue stripes on each cheek, and his unblinking eyes were a colour like mahogany. The more she stared at those eyes the less conscious she was.
She looked back at Ray. "This is the jerk who beat you guys? Who is he?" she asked.
It was Tyson who answered, "We don't know, he hasn't coughed up his name yet," sounding shaky at first, but then soon regaining his confident voice.
"Hey, you!" Selene called to the nameless boy. "How 'bout you take me on, unless you're scared that is."
He looked at her with piercing eyes then smiled, not a very nice smile. "Fine, whatever. Just don't come crying to me when you lose, little girl," he said in a bored tone. Little? she thought, He won't get away with calling me little. Selene and the boy stepped up to the ring. She'd get revenge for her friends if it was the last thing she did. In the background she could hear the kid's shouts of "Go gettem Lena!" or, "You can beat him Lena!" Her friends. Who didn't know she was the princess of the moon, or even her real name. Nonetheless, she would win it for them. "Okay then, you ready?" cried Selene "Three, two, one, let it rip!"
The blades circled each other, looking for an opening. Selene, concentrating intently, attacked first. Her blade attacked fiercely, but didn't make even a scratch on her opponents Beyblade. Then, out of nowhere, the boy's blade made a sudden attack that sent her Beyblade flying. It was still in the ring though, that was good. The battle went on for what seemed ages. This was Selene's toughest battle ever; she didn't know how much longer her blade could stand it.
"Miss!" a familiar voice called. Oh no, thought Selene, Puu's here.
"Well, well, looks like little miss has to go, oh what a shame," the boy sneered and at the same time his Beyblade flew back into his hand. Selene also recalled her blade.
"Oh, there you are mistress, we were very worried," Puu said to Selene. Then, grabbing her by the hand she pulled her back to the palace.
"Wait!" cried Selene, pulling herself out of her caretaker's grasp and running back towards the boy, who was slowly walking away. "We're still waiting," she said to him, "for your name that is."
He turned around and looked at her menacingly. "The name's, Kai," he said and then with that he walked off.
"Mistress, we must be going." said Puu, taking her by the hand again.
"We'll finish off our battle, Kai, just you wait," Selene mumbled under her breath, walking, "and when we do, I'll beat you, fair and square."
Selene had totally forgotten about the guests coming over that afternoon. With a hurried apology to her mother, she ran to her room and quickly changed back into her dress. She then brushed her pink hair and tied it up in two pigtails on top of her head. Then, just as Puu came in to do all that for her, she ran out, already hearing voices outside in the entrance hall. Selene saw her mother talking animatedly with two people from behind the column. They both looked very smug, and behind the lady's skirt, she could see a tuft of hair. She guessed that must be their son. Suddenly, Serenity appeared next to her.
"So they're the important visitors mother talked about?" asked Serenity, "they don't look very nice, do they?"
"Nah, they look scary," replied Selene, "you seen that son of theirs yet?" Serenity shook her head.
"Serenity, Selene, come here please," Queen Serenity called. Selene stayed glued to the column. She wasn't moving for anything.
"Come on Selene!" Serenity whispered hurriedly to her sister. Selene shook her head, "I'm not going over there, they scare me." Serenity rolled her eyes and went towards her mother. The queen noticed that only one of her daughters were standing in front of her and asked Serenity, "Serenity, where's Selene?"
Serenity looked over to the column where Selene was hiding behind, then back to her mother and said, "She's hiding behind the column, mother."
Queen Serenity turned to the column and said, a little louder this time, "Selene, come here please."
Hoo boy, thought Selene, there's no escaping this time. Might as well go out. She slowly walked out from behind the column. Gosh, these people look even scarier up close, she thought.
"Thank you, Selene," her mother said to her calmly, "now, as I was saying, these are my daughters, Serenity and Selene. Girls, this is Mr and Mrs Hiwatari."
"Welcome, Mr and Mrs Hiwatari," they said together, bowing.
"Thank you for your kind welcome your majesty," said Mrs Hiwatari, also bowing. "Oh, yes I almost forgot." she finally brought forward her son from behind her back.
When he looked up, Selene was shocked. It was Kai. He looked straight at her, but made no sign of recognising her. "this is our son Kai. Kai, say hello to the princesses." Kai just stared at them and went, 'humph'.
"I'm terribly sorry," Mrs Hiwatari said to the princesses, "he's not very social."
"Well I'm afraid we have to go now girls," Queen Serenity said, "you three run along and play, go on."
Each of the three children very reluctantly went outside, where they split into two groups, boys and girls (which generally meant Kai was left to stand by the wall, alone but contented). Serenity and Selene, who seldom talked to each other, were, for the first time in their lives, having a giant gossip session together.
"You know, I think he's just shy," said Serenity, "Maybe we should go talk to him?"
Selene looked appalled at the idea. "No way are we going over there Serenity, he's not shy, he's just afraid of me. Besides, he's the biggest little.umm.brat, yeah that's it, I ever had the misfortune to meet," said Selene all very quickly.
"Hang on, fill me in here. First of all, how do you know him, and second of all, why'd he be afraid of you?"
Selene scowled. "Well, I know him 'cause today, when I went to the park, he was tearing up everyone's Beyblades and I went to put a stop to him."
"Oh Selene tell me you didn't."
"Don't interrupt me Serenity. So like I was saying, I went to put a stop to him, and I almost beat him too, if only it weren't for Puu."
"So you say he's afraid of you because you almost beat him in a Bey-thingy match?"
"'Course, 'cause he's scared he's gonna lose if he battles me again."
Serenity looked over to Kai. He was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, as if lost in thought. Suddenly he opened his eyes and noticed he was being watched. He simply gave them both a piercing look, and walked away.
"You know Selene, I don't think he recognizes you," said Serenity uncertainly.
"Why wouldn't he?"
"Maybe it's because you're dressed differently and your hairs up?"
"Eh."
Serenity and Selene spent the rest of the afternoon talking to each other. Eventually, their mother, along with Mr and Mrs Hiwatari, came out into the garden to inform them that they were leaving. Kai got up almost at once, but took his own time in getting to his parents.
"Very well then," said Mrs Hiwatari, "we must be going, I'm afraid. Thank you for inviting us, your majesty."
"You're very welcome," replied the queen. Then they got up and left, with Selene eying Kai all the time with a look of great dislike.
Years passed, and Selene, no longer a child, eventually forgot about the boy she was intent on having a rematch with. Instead, she had other things on her mind.
