TITLE: SERENA'S COUNTERPART
CH: 01
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Throughout this story (especially in chapter 1) the characters of this story know that it is a story. So you will notice that they will be commenting continuously or even start a quarrel with the narrator/author. This was intended to be a parody of some sorts and is supposed to be this way. Also, this is my first parody and it is supposed to incorporate the narrator/author as a type of character. Though the narrator is usually identified in writing the author/narrator may forget to identify themselves and will also be noted with single quotations (i.e. 'this symbol at the beginning and the other one at the end'). So, on with the story!
*************************************************************
Some many years into the future, Crystal Tokyo became the bustling hub of the Universe. Everyone wanted to be there, and not only that, everyone (well, mostly the evil, sadistic and absurdly cruel) people wanted to rule it. But Neo Queen Serenity wasn't about to let that happen any time soon.
"That's for damn skippy!" Serena said with an authoritative nod.
'Hey, who's telling this story, you or me?' asked the narrator impatiently.
"You may be telling it, but since I am the heroine of this story, I get my little comments as usual. Besides, you suck at narrating this story, so far," she then said, putting her head into her hands and just staring blankly out the window.
'That's not fair and you know it! You interrupted me by ad-libbing!' said the narrator.
"You only got through one stinking paragraph!" Serena said.
'Only because you couldn't keep your big mouth shut,' the narrator grumbled.
"What was that?" asked Serena a little perturbed.
'Look, do you want me to make you the bubble headed, dingbat of a nitwit that you used to be in the cartoons? Or would you rather be the kick ass heroine of this story?' the narrator asked as if she cared.
"You can't control me because you don't own me. Naoko Takeuchi does," Serena then said.
'Um...Excuse me, who has the keyboard? And don't you think that I know that Naoko Takeuchi owns the rights to you and the rest of your crew?' the narrator asked noncommittally.
"Obliviously not, or else there would be a disclaimer at the beginning of this story! Say, what's the name of this story anyway?" she asked haughtily.
'Duh, don't you read? It's called Serena's Counterpart. So I haven't gotten around to the disclaimer yet! Who cares! Besides, you interrupt me every single chance that you get. And the word you're looking for is OBVIOUSLY, not obliviously. So stop being a pain in the ass and let me work, would ya?' the narrator commented edgily.
"Fine! And for the record, a Queen is not a pain in the ass. She hires someone else to do that for her," Serena resigned snottily.
'You finished?' the narrator asked almost angrily.
"Yeah, go on," she then said.
Ahem...As I was saying...There were people out there who we...
"Excuse me! Did we forget to do something?" Serena interrupted again.
'What now?! Oh, um...the disclaimer...right. The Author of this story...' the narrator began to say, but was rudely interrupted yet again.
"Who is the author?" Serena then asked.
'I am, what's it to ya?' said the narrator, boldly.
"Well, I would like to know the name of the person who is writing this story about my loveliness and all that it abounds," Serena said as she unfolded her hands to emphasize her point.
'You don't even know what that word means! Abounds...Puhleeese!' laughed the narrator.
"I do so know what that word means!" she argued back at the narrator.
'Please, oh wise and stubborn one, glamour us with your knowledge,' the narrator said sarcastically.
"Abound means to be plentiful, thrive, flourish and proliferate," she answered smugly.
'You just got that from Amy! Besides, there is nothing about your beauty that is plentiful, thrives, flourishes or even proliferates ((Not that you know the meaning of that word either) the rest of your nation!' the narrator argued with Serena.
"What does proliferate mean, Amy?" Serena asked the blue haired woman next to her.
"Proliferate is just a fancy way of saying to make babies," Amy answered with a sigh.
"Ha! So there! In your face narrator!" Serena then said as she stood up and did a happy dance.
'And remind us, oh Queen of Denial, how your beauty and loveliness makes babies?' the narrator asked, sarcastically, yet again.
"Well, if I weren't beautiful or lovely, then Darien wouldn't have married me and we wouldn't have had Rini, duh," she answered.
'Which reminds me...I never did understand why he was so hot for you in the first place. Must be that he has some wires crossed or something,' the narrator said with a roll of her eyes.
"Hey, leave me outta this one," Darien said as he and Rini passed by the table and walked back to the kitchen area.
'Look, Serena, now, as much as I like our little bicker-fests here, it is really distracting me from telling this story. When I start Chapter two, you BETTER NOT be this annoying, or I'm gonna turn you into the slut of the century with a new trick in her chambers every other hour. Now, whatsit gonna be girlfriend? Be a good little Queen who isn't so annoying and actually lets a person FINISH a sentence? Or would you rather be in a slut- fest featuring you as a turnstile?' the narrator asked impatiently.
"You wouldn't dare!" said Serena, white in the face with shear panic.
'Oh wouldn't I? Remember who is telling the story here, little missy. I can make you glamorous or I can ruin your reputation one keystroke at a time,' the narrator threatened again.
"You bitch!" said Serena as she turned away from the narrator.
'Nag,' retorted the narrator.
"Knock it off! Both of you! Or I'll write the story and none of you will be in it!" Amy said impatiently.
'Ha! I'd like to see you try it! I'm the mistress of this keyboard!' the narrator argued back.
"Well, she DOES have a point there, Serena. Just let her tell the story so we can get on with our lives," Lita said as she entered the room.
"Oh, go ahead and take her side," Serena said as she sat down on the comfy couch and pouted.
'Oh geeze! Go and do something constructive, why don't you?' the narrator then said.
"Make me," Serena dared.
'Don't tempt me,' the narrator said.
"You gonna get on with it or what?" Mina asked with a sigh.
Ahem, as I was going to say...The narrator/author of this story does not own any of the characters which may be portrayed in this story. Naoko Takeuchi does and this is for the pure enjoyment of the readers in which it is being written for. The only characters in which the narrator/author has made up will be those of the Constellation Sailor Soldiers who will be portrayed in future chapters of this story. Thank you.
"See, that wasn't so hard! Why didn't you put that in the beginning?" Serena plagued the narrator once again.
'Because I didn't see the need to. So stop angering me already and let me get to the story!' the narrator commented.
"Wait a minute," Mina said as she held up her hand and began to re-read the disclaimer. "Constellation Sailor Soldiers? You're going to add new people to the story?" she then asked.
'Why not? I mean, it only seems fair to keep you guys on your toes,' the narrator answered with a shrug.
"I don't believe this! We have to contend with newbie's now! This really sucks!" said Lita angrily.
'Hey, I'm writing this story and I want new people to be in it. Besides, it's not like you're gonna hate them or anything,' the narrator explained.
"Well, if you're going to put new people in it, don't you think that we should be able to decide for ourselves whether or not we're going to like them?" Serena asked as she picked up the mirror and investigated her teeth.
'Hmm...let's see...NO! You aren't writing this story and neither is Naoko. And since this is SUPPOSED to be a fiction, and not some corny bitch-fest, I get to decide what you will and won't like. That's how it has been done for many generations,' the narrator said.
"Hey, that's not fair! As the main characters of the story, we should get some input on this as well," Mina said.
"Can't we all just get along? I mean, come one, no one wants to read a story that just has the narrator fighting with the characters. I for one am getting sick and tired of this petty bickering and sitting around until SOMEONE decides to move on with the story," Amy said looking at the other three girls.
"Still fighting with the narrator?" Darien asked as he and Rini came out of the kitchen, munching on some delectable cakes.
'Hey, maybe you could help me out here, Darien. I wish to get on with the story, yet your WIFE seems to think that I'm going about it the wrong way. Could you talk some sense into her?' the narrator asked pleadingly.
"Hey, all this time and there's been no appearance of Raye. Where is she?" Rini asked as she sat on the couch next to her mother, Serena.
'Good question. I guess she's doing something else right now,' the narrator said with a shrug.
"Serena, honey, do you think that you could stop bugging the narrator and let her get on with the story? You know, she is putting in a lot of time in on this and hopes to put it out there for others to read," Darien finally said.
"But she is going to make us like the new characters that she is going to put in," Serena whined.
"So what! It's not like other narrators/authors haven't done the same before," Darien responded.
"But what if I don't want to like them?" Serena asked.
'What if I do two chapters that has you fighting with them tooth and nail and then you begin to like them later? I mean, come on, the lead new character is a depressed hard-ass with a giant chip on her shoulder,' the narrator negotiated.
"Really? You mean, I get to hate her for two chapters?" Serena asked.
'I'm thinking about letting you almost kill her at one point,' the narrator suggested.
Serena had to think about this for a moment and then snitched a cake away from Rini. "Okay, you gotta deal then. I promise that I won't bug you any more for the next two chapters. After that, it's everyone for themselves," she then said with a nod.
'Good, now that we have everything figured out for the rest of this story, I think that I should just go ahead and go on with chapter two and start off the story. That way, no one else gets bored,' the narrator said after stretching out her arms to rid her body of the tension.
"Good, on with the story then. I can't wait to see what happens next!" Rini then said with a smile.
