Finally, the next chapter of To Become A Real Lady. Woohoo! Well, anyway, I don't have much to say right now. Except, read and review when you're finished.
Small Lady (bowing to her parents): Hello mother, hello father. We are all back. Diana and everyone else are still outside, in the park next to the castle. They should be inside in a couple of minutes.
Neo-Queen Serenity: Hello, Small Lady. You look as if something is worrying you… What's wrong?
Small Lady: Nothing mother. Don't worry. I'm just going to go to my room and lay down.
Neo-Queen Serenity (unsure): Alright.
(Small Lady is seen in her room; she falls down onto her bed)
Small Lady: What is going on with me? How come this is affecting me so badly?
(Luna-P begins to float over her; she grabs it)
Small Lady: I feel as if I've abandoned you, Luna-P. So much is going on around me, and I have so much to tell you, but I don't know how…
Luna-P: Abracadabra! Abracadabra!
Small Lady: You still remember that charm Sailor Pluto told me? She told me when I was a child; I don't know if it will work now that I'm older…
Luna-P: Abracadabra! Abracadabra!
Small Lady: Ok, I'll try it. Abracadabra Poof!
(Small Lady's room fills with flowers and confetti)
Small Lady (laughing): Well, whaddya know. It does still work!
(Diana and the Asteroid Senshi are now seen walking inside the Crystal Palace)
Neo-Queen Serenity: Diana!
Diana: Yes, Queen? Oh! I'm sorry!
(Diana and the Asteroid Senshi bow to Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion)
Neo-Queen Serenity: No, it's not about that. I was wondering… When Small Lady walked in, she seemed troubled. Do any of you know what's troubling her?
Cere-Cere: I might have an idea about what it is, but it's only an idea.
Neo-Queen Serenity: Please tell me.
Cere-Cere: I'd rather tell you alone…
Neo-Queen Serenity: Alright
then. Diana, Jun-Jun, Ves-Ves, Para-
Para, please let the King and I have some privacy with Cere-Cere.
Diana and the others: Alright.
(Diana, Jun-Jun, Ves-Ves, and Para-Para leave the room)
Cere-Cere: Well, Queen, King, it's like this. Me, Small Lady, Diana and the others went to Fruit Parlor Crown. After we ate, Diana told us about a free concert in the park featuring the new boy band Pegasus Dream. We all love Pegasus Dream, especially Small Lady, so we went. When the members of Pegasus Dream were announced, Small Lady discovered someone she knew was the lead singer of the group. This didn't matter to her, but it was a little bit of shock to all of us. During the concert, I noticed the lead singer, Helios, was staring at Small Lady, and I pointed it out to her. So, after the concert, Small Lady left without us. I took that as my chance to talk to Helios and he revealed to me that he likes Small Lady and has liked her since you enrolled her in the school they used to go to. But, he kept me to secrecy about that part, but since, of course, you are the King and Queen of Crystal Tokyo, I had to tell you.
King Endymion: Is Small Lady ever annoyed by this Helios?
Cere-Cere: Well, yes.
(The King and Queen laugh)
Neo-Queen Serenity: Don't worry Cere-Cere; those two will work out their problems.
(King Endymion takes Neo-Queen Serenity's hand)
King Endymion: He kept you to secrecy, so you should obey his wishes. Those two will work out their differences, you'll see.
Cere-Cere: Alright Queen; alright King. But, I feel that there is more to the story, but I can't place my finger on it. I feel as though Small Lady and Helios are somehow connected, but I just don't know how.
Neo-Queen Serenity: Don't worry about it. Just stay by her side and protect her. There are some things that she must figure out on her own. Other things are what you and the others are there for.
Cere-Cere: I'm going to see if she's okay.
(Cere-Cere bows to Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion)
Cere-Cere (opening the door): Small Lady? May I come in?
Small Lady: Why not? All the rest of us are in here.
Cere-Cere: What is everyone doing? Why did you leave us in the park?
Small Lady: We're just having fun, sitting around, and I left you guys because I needed to do a little… uh… thinking about stuff.
Diana (back in her cat form): Small Lady, something's wrong. Tell us. I feel as if you're keeping something terribly important from us.
Small Lady: Look, Diana, nothing is wrong. I just wanted some time alone to think, okay? That's all I needed.
Jun-Jun: Time alone to think about what?
Small Lady: …
Ves-Ves: Small Lady, we're you're friends. If you can't tell us what's up, then what can you tell us?
Small Lady: Well…
Cere-Cere: Let them know, Small Lady.
Para-Para: You mean you knew?!
Everyone: Para-Para…
Small Lady: Well, today, at the concert… Cere-Cere pointed out to me the way Helios was staring at me. I looked at him, and when I did, I felt this familiar emotion, like the stare was somehow, so familiar. When I saw him approaching us after the concert, everything started becoming so, so, so nostalgic. It was too much for me, so I just walked back to the palace. When I arrived, I sat in the old playground I used to play in and started thinking, why was that stare from him affecting me so much? I couldn't think of the answer, and even now, I feel so stupid, because I know the answer, but it just won't come to me.
Diana: And Cere-Cere, you knew this, but you couldn't tell us?
Cere-Cere: I only knew one part… I didn't know everything Small Lady just said. Besides, now we know the whole story! We can help you! (A/N: Someone doesn't know how to listen to the King and Queen, huh?)
Diana: I don't know. This seems more like love…
Small Lady: Wait a minute! Okay, Diana, I know you are not implying that I could be in love with, with, with Helios! I can't imagine it! It can't be! We have absolutely n-o-t-h-i-n-g in common!
Jun-Jun: Why are you going off on Diana? She just gave her thoughts on the situation. It's not like she's actually saying you love Helios.
(Small Lady starts playing with her fingers while looking down and blushing)
Ves-Ves: That seems kinda weird. Why are you blushing Small Lady? Could it be you have a crush on Helios?
Small Lady: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?!
Para-Para (now ignoring Small Lady): I don't think she has a crush on him.
Ves-Ves (also ignoring Small Lady): Para-Para, you're so young. You couldn't know. Of course she has a crush on him. It's written all over her face.
Jun-Jun (ignoring Small Lady, just like everyone else): I don't know. It seems kinda weird for Small Lady to like Helios when she can barely stand being around him.
Cere-Cere: I don't know. Wasn't he the first person to talk to her when the King and Queen finally stopped home-schooling her?
Diana: Hmm… I don't know. But Small Lady did say that Helios was staring at her…
Para-Para: So what if…
Jun-Jun: … it's really Helios…
Ves-Ves: … that likes Small Lady?
Small Lady: Guys, I'm going to leave. Hello? Is anyone paying any attention to me?
(Luna-P appears behind Small Lady)
Small Lady (to Luna-P): What good is it to be princess if no one pays any attention to you? Let's go Luna-P.
(Small Lady leaves)
Everyone: So what do you think Small Lady? Does Helios like you, or do you like Helios? Small Lady? Small Lady? What happened to Small Lady?
(Small Lady is seen wandering around the palace)
Small Lady: Geez, what the hell is wrong with them? Saying I like Helios… Eww! Never in this lifetime! C'mon Luna-P. You seem to be one of the only ones who listen to me when I have problems anyway. You were my first friend after all. Let's go find Mama's Senshi. Maybe they can help me.
The next chapter will be better. This chapter was ok, I think. I think it could have been better, but I'm not sure how. I rushed through it because there were some parts that I needed to get out, but connecting them with other parts made it hard. So, review and tell me what needs to be fixed so I know what to do for the next chapter. Thanx, and review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
