Annual Torture—Yearly War
by: Enchanted Kagome
Chapter One
~~~Preparations for Revenge~~~
Darien gazed out the window, trying to forget the fact that he's headed towards another month of Hell on Earth…or on the Moon, rather.
"Darien…" Queen Marla began. He sighed.
"Yes Mother?"
"Now…I hope you will behave better than you did last year—"
"Mom!"
Their conversations always began with a "Darien, do not do [*last year's "MISTAKE"*] again—" Then, depending on the subject, Darien would either answer "I didn't start it!" or "I was just trying to stop her! I didn't mean to break _____"
"Darien, your behavior last year was unacceptable!"
"I was just trying to calm her down!"
"By pulling her hair out?"
"I read that bald people are calmer than others."
"Then perhaps I should get someone to shave your hair?"
Darien sighed. He never won these wars. N-E-V-E-R never. "I'll try to be better this year."
That satisfied Queen Marla, who had conspired with her best friend, Queen Serenity, to push their children closer and make a formal engagement when Serena was 14 years of age, namely THIS year.
*~*~*~*
"Muh-ther!" Serena whined. She could not believe that Prince Darien was coming AGAIN!
"Serena, you will receive Endymion better than last year!"
"I didn't do it on purpose last year…"
"You put SUPER-GLUE on his bed sheets!"
"I heard it was good for one's body."
"And, how do you suppose 'one's body' will benefit by walking around with their bed sheets? Serena, you are either naïve, or purposely lieing!"
Queen Serenity cornered her daughter again. Unless Serena admitted that she was either of those things, she had nothing to combat it.
Sighing, Serena submitted. "Mother, I will try to be better this year."
Queen Serenity nodded and dismissed her daughter.
*~*~*~*
"Princess Serenity! The princesses are here!" Serena's maid shouted from outside the door. Serena leapt up and bounded to the door. She had barricaded herself within her most LOYAL chamber all afternoon.
"Raye, Amy, Lita, Mina! I'm SOOOOO glad you guys are here!"
"Hey Serena," they answered in unison.
"Can you believe that Prince Darien's coming AGAIN?"
"What's wrong with that?" Raye asked. Unlike her friend, Raye thought Darien was handsome.
"What's wrong? What's wrong is that HE is coming HERE!" Serena fumed. She's been both paranoid about the Terran's arrival at summer time, and hateful to the Prince of the Earth. Ever since Darien burned her favorite doll, at the age of 5, the young royal children had been at war. Wherever they stopped last year, they would start the next. Whatever they left unsettled would be settled well enough the following year.
"'K, 'K, Serena. Calm down," Mina said, trying to calm her friend.
"Why does he have to come HERE, EVERY year? I mean, his has his own kingdom!" Serena whined. "You'd think HE lived here, not ME!"
"Uh…" Lita couldn't really explain that—meaning she couldn't explain it in any way that Serena will be satisfied with. All four of them knew that Serena and Darien would probably make a political match, and thus appears the reason of these yearly tortures. Unfortunately, if they wished to live, they must keep that a secret from Serena, at least while they are within a planet's distance from the Moon.
"Ha! I bet his kingdom threw him out again! MwuHAHAHAHAH!" Serena laughed diabolically over this newly formed reason. As long as it puts Darien in a bad light, she doesn't care how improbably or contradictory it is. Serena was always very…emotional and violent when it came to Him.
Outside, Serena's new, and thus inexperienced maid, was scared out of her wits. And, while the five princesses talked inside, the poor girl was deciding whether to write out her resignation.
"Now, guys…we start…" Serena said with a sadistic smile. "Let us prepare for the arrival of His Majesty, Prince Endymion. MwuHAHAHAHAH!"
Her four friends sweat-dropped.
