Chapter One: Usagi's Nightmare

Usagi inwardly moaned. " This is going to suck!" Her mother was forcing her to attend a ball with the entire Earth Kingdom's royalty. Normally Usagi would have been thrilled at the thought of dressing up all pretty and showing off to lots of people, but today was just not a good day. It had actually started last night when she had eaten four large pieces of rich chocolate cake (She only cut the cake into four pieces). Then upon waking, she found herself four pounds heavier. On top of that she could see the beginnings of a pimple ready to burst forth through her nose. Damn adolescence.

"I don't see why we're having this party anyway, it'll probably just be really boring." The Ball was being held because of the long awaited treaty of peace between the Kingdom of the Eearth and the Kingdom of the Moon, which meant all she would be doing for the next three days is stand at the entrance of the palace, greeting everyone as they came in, and have her hand kissed by ugly old men with funky mustaches. "Woo-flippin'-hoo." Usagi looked out her window. "Why is life so hard?"

"PRINCESS! What are you still doing in bed! It's two in the afternoon! Guests are already arriving!" Luna jumped onto Usagi's stomach, with more force then an eight pound cat should. Usagi retreated under her silk bedding.

"I'm tired! Go away!" Usagi held onto her sheets as Luna grabbed one end and began to pull them off of her.

"Get up!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Please just five more minutes!" Usagi cried in pain as her head snapped back against her head board from the surprise of Luna letting go.

"Fine," Luna turned and began to leave, but turned at the door. "Princess Serenity, please don't forget that today you don't just represent yourself. Today you represent the Moon Kingdom. We've waited a long time for this moment to come. Your mother has worked hard to achieve peace throughout the Solar System. You must set an example for the next generation." Usagi rolled over in bed. "And that example shouldn't be sleeping in past noon!" and with a swish of her tail Luna was gone.

Usagi knew that Luna was right. She had to represent the Moon Kingdom in the proper fashion, but Luna, or anyone, didn't know what was really bothering her. For the past couple nights she had been having a recurring dream, no, dream was the wrong word. It was a nightmare. The nightmare wasn't intact either, it was like watching faded slides, pictures of distant memories. Everything starts fine, dancing, music, some kind of celebration, but when Usagi would look out the ballroom window at the familiar sphere of Earth, it would be covered in a murky haze that nobody seems to notice. She then finds herself in a panic as dancing couples begin falling to the ground, and the remaining guests just dance right over them as if they don't care.

Usagi would scream, but no sound could be heard until the palace walls begin to crash down. Terrifyed, she would gaze out at the landscape and find herself in the middle of what was once the Moon Kingdom. The sight broke her heart. There were dead bodies everywhere. People she had known her whole life would be lying scattered around lifeless and cold atop the ruins. Despair and fear coarse through her veins as she runs from body to body in search of her mother. But she can never find her. Helpless, she aimlessly runs in circles around the destruction, digging through the death and ruble, feeding her fear in an endless frenzied search. Just as the chaos inside her reaches its peak, she feels arms reaching out from behind her. She would try to fight them off, but they grab her and hold her in a tight embrace, sending a soothing calm throughout her. She knows that whoever is holding her will protect her.

Exhausted she sinks into the embrace and, turning her head slightly, cries into his warm chest. After there are no more tears left in her body, the embrace tightens, but in a second of shear terror her protector is forcibly ripped from her. She turns and grasps out to him, trying to pull him back to her, but all she can catch is his black and red cape. Alone again she looks down, pulling the cloth to her and trying to remember the feeling of warmth, and sees from the destroyed earth a single red rose standing in defiance of the massacre around it. Compelled by the rose she falls to her knees before it and stares understandingly up at the sky. A small flicker of light attracts her attention and she turns to see her mother, standing alone against an unnatural sky, something like a face hidden within it, and then an explosion erupts from her mothers hands and everything goes white. That's where the nightmare ends.

The nightmare still felt as real now as it did in her dreams, but Usagi knew that for the sake of her mother, and the entire kingdom, she had to put it out of her mind. Slowly she got out of bed and moved toward the bathroom to start the long process of cleaning her hair. Damn hair.
