"After The Rain" Chapter 4
As Usagi came closer to the entrance of the Royal Banquet Hall, her persona changed completely. She stuffed her thoughts away deep in the crevices of her mind, keeping out only the essentials: speech and etiquette.
"Happy Birthday, Princess Lady Serenity." The butler said meekly, while opening the intricately decorated door for her.
"Thank you so much, Ryo." She said with a warm smile.
For a moment he looked stunned that she actually addressed him by his name, then he gave a genuine grin and ushered her inside. Her mood had already changed, for making someone else smile made her heart soar with happiness. At that moment everyone in the room stood up to greet her and wish her happiness on her birthday. She accepted each of them graciously and made them feel at ease. While she was speaking with Neo Queen Jupiter about where the Milky Way stood politically, her peripheral vision caught sight of Yukio.
"Yes, I do believe that the Milky Way has much potential against the bigger galaxies..." she said half-interested.
'It's not that Makoto-san is boring, but it's quite interesting to imagine how Yukio was able to get in here before I did, when I know he was laying in the middle of the floor gasping in pain...' she needlessly told herself. After a few finishing words on politics, she found her mother and father in the middle of the floor and curtsied.
"Good Morning Father, Good Morning Mother." She said with a smile.
"Hello my dear, Happy Birthday." King Endymion smiled with joy.
"Good Morning my dear Serenity. I want to wish you a Happy Birthday as well, I do believe you will enjoy yourself at the ball tonight." Neo Queen Serenity said warmly.
"Yes, I do believe I will. May you have a Happy Birthday as well, Mother." Usagi said. With one last curtsey, she left them to find the Asteroid Senshi. She had gotten used to the fact that public displays of a family's affection such as a kiss on the cheek or a hug was a faux pas, and that you had to act professional practically around the clock.
She found her Senshi hanging out around the buffet table. Suddenly, her stomach started to growl in anticipation. They greeted her and continued to put food on their plates, everything looked so delectable! She was struggling on what to get inside of her head, 'Get the cream puffs! No! NO! Get the Cinnamon Twists! Get the Fruit! You HAVE to try the bacon!'
She eventually silenced the voices within her mind by getting one of each type of food. The Senshi all started to giggle, because by the time she got one of everything, her plate had someone divided itself into two.
"I thought Vesta was bad, since she grabbed the whole plate of Petit Fours, but as always, you top the charts!" Sailor Juno said with a wink.
"Oh please! She probably couldn't decide on what to get. She does take after her mother in some ways after all." Sailor Ceres said.
"You guys are meaner than usual, did ya' know that?" she said in a low tone so no one except them could hear her.
"Theruh juust beinng har on youu Usaggi...Pallas haduh tos stopp in thuh kitchenn to eath sum fooz befors youz goz heree." Sailor Vesta said with a full mouth of Petit Fours.
"I was HUNNNGRRYYY!" Sailor Pallas cut in, while putting more food on her plate.
"Well, I must confess that I had an early morning craving today and ate in the kitchen before anyone was awake." Sailor Ceres said thoughtfully.
"Well, it's better to eat a lot now anyway, with as many people coming tonight we'll be lucky if we even get a few scraps!" Usagi added, thinking of how terrible it would be if she couldn't eat for the rest of the day.
"Why don't we all go sit and eat in the labyrinth? That way no one will be able to bother us, and we can talk about whatever we want." Sailor Juno suggested.
They all agreed and made their way outside to the labyrinth's entrance.
