A STITCH IN TIME by Princess Ophelia
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT own Sailor Moon.
Prologue
Queen Serenity looked at her daughter sadly, "I know you want to see Prince Endymion, dear, but my trusted advisors have told me that Earth is experiencing some problems. I do not want you to become involved in Earth's problems yet. Please give Endymion's parents time to correct the problems before you make another trip to Earth."
Princess Serenity looked at her mother silently. Blue eyes looked into blue eyes. She was told she looked more like her mother every day. At fourteen, she was already showing signs of taking on her mother's shapely form. The princess' hair grew a paler blonde every day indicating that she too would eventually acquire the silver glow of her mother's hair. Both had their hair in the royal hairstyle that resembled meatballs. Serenity wore a long white gown, a younger version of her mother's regal attire. The empire waist was enhanced by a golden cord that tied delicately in the back enhancing the young girl's figure.
After a measured silence, the princess spoke, "Mother, I promised Endy I would see him today. He said he had something special to give me before we announce our engagement."
"I am sorry, Serenity, but I am sure Prince Endymion would understand. Can you imagine how he would feel if you were harmed? I do not wish to restrict you but I must insist in this matter."
"Alright, mother." The princess said sadly and quietly left her mother's office.
"Well, that seemed too easy, Luna," said the Queen said to the black cat who had jumped up onto the desk once the princess had left the room. Luna looked like any other cat except for a crescent moon symbol on her forehead. Luna was Queen Serenity's most trusted friend and advisor.
"Yes, Your Majesty, she normally throws quite a fit. I wonder…" Luna said thoughtfully, looking at the closed doors through which the princess had exited.
"What is it, Luna? Do you know something?"
"Whenever she is so compliant, it usually means she's up to something."
Alarmed, the Queen rose to follow her daughter but stopped at a knock at her door.
"Come in," she called.
The door opened just enough to allow her daughter access before the young girl closed it behind her.
The Queen was just about to address the girl when the door burst open nearly knocking the princess off her feet. Sailor Pluto, the senshi of time, stepped through. Her waist-length dark green hair swung behind her back and her lavender eyes sparked. She wore a uniform with a short black skirt and a white blouse with a black bow that had a pink gem in the center. She had a black choker with a gem just under her chin. She wore knee-high black boots and carried a silver staff that stood a foot taller than her six foot form. "I am sorry to interrupt, Your Highness, but there seems to be a problem. There is a rift in time and I am unsure what effect it will have on us and our future."
"A rift in time?"
Pluto turned to look at the princess, "You are NOT Princess Serenity!" she exclaimed.
