Yay! Another chapter of To Become A Real Lady!!! Woohoo!!! Anywayz, this is gonna be pretty good. I thought the last chapter was horrible, but now that I look back at it, it seems ok. By the way, I still don't own Sailor Moon, unfortunately. Oh! the stories I would write if I owned Sailor Moon… Hey!!! Stop thinking like that!!! Now, on to the 2nd chapter of To Become A Real Lady!!!
Jun-Jun: Man! I loved that concert!
Ves-Ves: I know; I especially loved that 2nd song!!!
Para-Para: I know (imitating Pegasus Dream) …reach for the sky/ there you will find/ a lovely dream/ leading you to me… That was so beautiful!!!
Diana: Small Lady, what did you think of the concert?
Small Lady: …
Diana: Small Lady?
Small Lady: Huh? Oh! Yeah… it was good… I liked it…
Para-Para: Hey!!! Small Lady! What's up with you?
Cere-Cere: Hey, leave her alone. I'll tell you about it later. Let's go back to the palace.
Helios: Hey guys. I guess my secret's out.
Jun-Jun: You're damn right your "secret's out!" You can't trust us with a secret like that? I thought we were close… (starts to pretend cry)
Ves-Ves: Don't mind her; she's sick in the brain.
Jun-Jun (in the background): Hey!!!
Helios: Yeah… Hey, where's Small Lady?
Cere-Cere: She was just right here… I guess she went back to the palace without us. Damn… Well, I guess I'll have to talk to you first.
Helios: Talk to me about what?
Cere-Cere: Um, guys we'll be right back.
(Diana and the remaining girls are too busy to pay attention because Diana is breaking up the fight between Jun-Jun and Ves-Ves)
Helios: What a lively bunch…
Cere-Cere: They'll be okay. Now, I have a couple of questions to ask you, regarding Small Lady.
Helios: What about her?
Cere-Cere: In today's concert, I noticed you, not glancing, not looking, but staring at Small Lady. Why?
Helios (stammering): I-I-I wasn't staring at t-t-that, that, that girl! I was just admiring the families out there with their children!
Cere-Cere: Don't play dumb with me. You were staring at her. No one else. Now, if it's for the reasons I think they are…
Helios: What reasons would that be, huh?
Cere-Cere: You like Small Lady.
Helios: What! Me, like her! I don't think so; I could have my choice at any girl.
Cere-Cere: And your choice happens to be Small Lady, right?
Helios (blushing): N-n-no… Well…
Cere-Cere: Wow! We finally have a breakthrough!
Helios: Shut up, alright! Otherwise, I won't say a word!
(Cere-Cere keeps quiet)
Helios: Now, ever since I first met Serenity in 8th grade, when her parents finally allowed her to go to a school with other kids, I felt like there was some kind of, I don't know, connection between us. For 4 years, I've felt this way, but I didn't know how to tell her. So, I came up with the idea of Pegasus Dream with a few of my friends, so I could sing about her in my music. To let her know without knowing is what I wanted. Today at the concert, I saw her sitting there with you guys, and I just wanted her to hear my words. I couldn't help staring at her, knowing she was listing to my confessions.
Cere-Cere: What I'm about to ask may be a stupid question, but, why did you always tease her? I mean, can't you try and be a little nicer?
Helios: I get jealous. I see her with other people, knowing I could never be with her alone, and I just… I guess I take my frustration out on her because I feel so close to her, like I've known her for decades. Now, I hope you know I'm trusting you with all of this info. It takes a lot for me to be able to trust people, but I feel like you and those other girls over there are also people I can really trust and I also feel like I've known you guys for quite a while.
Cere-Cere: Thanks. Don't worry, I won't tell her. I just needed to know for certain that I wasn't seeing things or whatever. But wait, before you go, I have one more thing to tell you.
Helios: Well?
Cere-Cere: Well, during the concert, I kinda mentioned to Small Lady that you were staring at her… so, she may ask some questions…
Helios: So? I don't care. I want her to know, now that I think about, but just not now… See ya.
(Cere-Cere walks back to the girls)
Diana (while patching up Ves-Ves and Jun-Jun's bruises): So what were you and Helios talking about over there?
Cere-Cere: Nothing important.
Para-Para: So why'd ya take so long? You missed the fight of the century! (the girls start to walk away; Para-Para is still talking) See, Jun-Jun ripped at Ves-Ves's clothing and then Ves-Ves slapped her and…
(Small Lady is seen sitting on a swing just outside of the Crystal Palace)
Small Lady (thinking): Why was he staring at me? I mean, he's so annoying! He has no right staring at the Princess of Crystal Tokyo after teasing and making fun of me for so many years. But, he was the first person to speak to me when I entered the 8th grade at that private academy…
(Flashback, 4 years ago)
Principal: Aren't we lucky students? I would like everyone to please stand, for we have the honor and the privilege to have in our school Princess Serenity of Crystal Tokyo. Princess, here is your seat. I will tell you all now, students, just because we have Princess Serenity in our school doesn't mean anyone shall be treated differently. (To Small Lady) And Princess, you shall not be treated any differently than any other student, is that understood?
Small Lady: Yes, I understand that completely.
(Lunch time)
Kids: Look at her sitting by herself… I bet she thinks she's too good to sit with us… She probably doesn't think we're on her level…
Helios (to Small Lady): So, why is the princess of Crystal Tokyo sitting at a lunch table by herself, huh?
Small Lady: I don't know, I think maybe people are intimidated by me…
Helios (mocking Small Lady): I think people are intimidated by me… you're the princess! You're supposed to take charge!
Small Lady: Why must you imitate me?
Helios (mocking Small Lady): Why must you imitate me?
Small Lady: Stop!
Helios: Stop!
Small Lady: What's your name anyway? You, of course, know mine…
Helios: My name is Helios.
Small Lady: Good, now I can tell you, Helios, to get away from me!
Helios: Good, now I can tell you, Helios, to get away from me…
(Flashback end, present day)
Small Lady (still thinking): Helios, what is going on with you?
Diana: Small Lady! Here you are!
Para-Para: We were worried about you!
Jun-Jun: Yeah! Why'd you leave us?
Ves-Ves: You left and didn't even say anything!
Cere-Cere: Girls, don't pressure our precious princess. She seems like she was thinking anyway. (she winks at Small Lady)
Small Lady (with a blank stare): Cere-Cere, Para-Para, Ves-Ves, Jun-Jun, Diana… I need to be alone, I'm sorry…
(Small Lady runs into the Crystal Palace)
All except Cere-Cere: Small Lady!
Cere-Cere: It's ok, I think she's just starting to realize something.
Diana: How do you know so much, Cere-Cere?
Cere-Cere: I'm sworn to secrecy; but I can tell you this. Although Small Lady is far from truly finding him, I think she is getting warmer and warmer to finding her husband, the next king of Crystal Tokyo…
Diana: Are you serious? But… how, who… Cere-Cere, who?
(Cere-Cere ignores the question as all of the girls stand looking at the sunset. After a few minutes, they walk into the Crystal Palace)
Yeah, yeah. I know the ending was very cliché, but you have to admit it was pretty good. Tell me what you think. You know what to do by now, or at least you should… Review ppl! Review! And if you do, I'll give you the 4th chapter of Petz and Saphir. Yay!!! Ok, review!!! Yay!!!
