Serena's Weird Training

The next Morning after Sonic's battle with the Dark Kingdom Serena screamed as she noticed that she's late for school again.

"I'm Late! I'm Late!" Serena cried. Storming out the door.

"It's the same." Luna sighed sitting outside. "Every single morning." Serena kept running until she made it to the front gates.

"Oh hello! Molly!" She called as she waved at her who was also approaching the gates.

"Hi there!" She called back and they both smacked hands in a high five.

"You overslept to, didn't you?" Serena asked, winking.

"Come on." Molly sighed. "I'm not you. I was doing my homework."

"We had Homework?" Serena cried.

"Homework, nothing!" Molly said, starting to count with her fingers. "Science, math, english, social studies. Also a report for Japanese class. And the last one was embroidery for home economics." Serena fell over with her face in the ground.

"I don't care anymore." She groaned. Just then a limo pulled up and a handsome man stepped out of the back. "Wow!" She cooed blushing. "What a cool looking guy!" After the guy appeared a bunch of other girls who walked into the school, looking polite and sophisticated.

"Who are they?" Serena asked.

"What? Don't you know?" Molly asked.

"No." Serena sighed.

"Those girls are attending the 'Princess Seminar' at Rose Mansion." Molly explained.

"That's where Countess Rose lives, right?" Serena asked. "The lady who moved here from England recently?"

"Yes, I hear Countess Rose is a famous aristocrat back in England." Molly said. "Some well-off parents have asked her to provide their daughters with a princess's education."

"Princess's Education!?" Serena shouted. Those words really spoke out to her.

"It's supposed to turn you into a sophisticated lady with grace." Molly explained, the bell began to ring, they both panicked and ran inside to class.

They all managed to get inside the classroom apparently it seems Ms. Haruna didn't seem to notice that they were late.

"Let's see." Ms. Haruna said, taking out her grade book. "Your homework yesterday. Was to translate page 53 of your textbook, correct?"

Serena was asleep at her desk and she was mumbling in her dreams.

"Princess….." Serena mumbled. Her English book was covering her face. Her dreams involved herself entering a ballroom and everyone swooning over her, then Tuxedo Mask appeared and they both danced, but Ms. Haruna's shouting interrupted the moment.

"Did you do your homework!?" Ms. Haruna shouted at Serena.

"Quiet!" Serena snapped back. "How dare you address a princess so? Then Ms. Haruna got on her knees and began to bow and beg."

"Oh, pardon me! Princess, please forgive me!" Ms. Haruna begged. Serena began to laugh at this interesting turn of events. Sadly though, Serena was really laughing out loud on her desk as Ms. Haruna just stood over her giving her weird looks.

"Wake up!" She ordered. No response. "Miss Tsukino!" Serena finally awoke and she had a seriously tired look on her face.

"How dare you address a princess so?" Mumbled Serena hoping she's still dreaming. She jumped and turned to see Ms. Haruna.

"Are you still half-asleep?" Ms. Haruna scowled. "So you forgot your homework?"

"Well….." Serena stammered. "That is, how should I say this?"

"Get Out!" Ms. Haruna shouted pointing to the door.

"Oh!" Serena groaned standing in the hallway. "I need to stop acting like this. I need to be more aware of myself as a princess!"

"That's my girl!" Luna said, standing beside her in the hallway appearing out of nowhere again. "Good of you to have noticed that!"

Serena still had her fantasy on her mind. "Because otherwise, Tuxedo Mask won't dance with me at the ball!"

"What is that about?" Luna groaned falling over.

The Dark Kingdom.

"Endymion!" Beryl called, he and Malachite was standing before her. "You will assist Malachite, defeat Sailor Moon, and steal back the Silver Crystal."

"I refuse! I will not join forces with anybody. I will do things my way." Endymion objected.

"I will also do things my own may." Malachite said, after all it was my own work that allowed me to discover the location of Sonic and Tails.

"That will be fine, too." Beryl sighed. "Once this mission is over then Endymion will go for Sonic."

"What!? Why!?" Malachite yelled. "I should be the one to end that rodent!"

"You may do things your way but this is to teach you where you stand in here!" Beryl explained. "Now, Bring me Sailor Moon's corpse and the Silver Crystal as soon as possible, and once you're done with her, take down the others, they also have a Chaos Emerald."

"Yes, my lady." Malachite agreed. "I already have a plan in motion. He and Endymion glared at each other."

"Good." Beryl sighed devilishly.

That night Luna went to the arcade and spoke to the game.

"Code name 0091." She spoke "This is Luna. My password is 'The rabbit on the moon makes rice cakes.' Please Respond."

"The moon rice cakes are sticky." Responded the game.

"When I grilled them, they puffed up." Luna responded.

"What's wrong Luna?" The game asked.

"Yes, well, Serena seems to lack awareness as a princess." Luna sweated putting a paw on her head. "So I am at a loss of what to do."

"That is a difficult question. Oh, shoot…" The game said but the screen began to flicker and it flashed off and Artemis flashed on the screen with an earpiece with a look on his face that said, 'I'm Busted'.

"Oh, Artemis…" Luna sweated in shock.

"Hahahahaha!" Artemis laughed." You've found out, huh? Well, the communication device isn't working well today Hahahaha."

"So." Luna snarled. "You were the one giving me orders all this time? At least this explains how Sailor Venus was able to know Sonic and Tails and why they're here. In fact maybe we should go tell them about this!"

"Yeah, kind of!" Artemis laughed.

"Why didn't you tell me!" Luna yelled.

"Well you didn't ask!" Artemis panicked. "So, I just sort of kept on going."

"Unbelievable." Luna sweated.

The next morning at the Rose mansion Serena and Luna were hiding in the trees spying on the lessons through the windows.

"GAAAH!" Serena screamed.

"What is it?" Luna asked.

"Those cheesecakes from Chalbon! They're so lucky!" Serena cried.

"Excuse me!" Butler called from the ground below. "Miss, if you have business here, please come through the front gate."

"AHHHH!" She cried as she and Luna fell to the ground.

"May I help you?" The butler asked.

"Well." Serena said, throwing herself up and pleading to the butler. "I want to attend the Princess Seminar, too, is sort of what I was thinking…"

"I am sorry." The Butler said. "You must have an introduction from a member."

"Introduction…" Serena said looking around, she suddenly decided to pick up Luna. "Well, I was introduced to this by her!"

"I do not think we can accept an introduction from a cat." The Butler sweated.

"My my." A high class woman laughed, approaching she has long brown hair, with a blue dress and red eyes. "You are a funny young lady. Why not? Even if it is through an introduction from a cat."

"But.." The Butler stammered.

"You talk sense!" Serena cheered.

"It would be fun to have at least one unique person." The lady said. "However, I have one condition."

"Condition?" Serena jumped and she began to count with her fingers. "But I'm no good at tea ceremonies, flower arrangements, cooking, sewing, cleaning and even dressing in a kimono. On top of that, I'm not good at school either! So…"

"It is quite impressive when there is so much you cannot do." The lady laughed.

"Edward." The lady called. "If you please."

"Yes Ma'am." Edward bowed. He handed Serena a gold and white disc. "The Countess's hobby is throwing a frisbee around. So, anyone who wants to take the Princess Seminar must be able to throw one."

"Yes! I'm really good with these things!" Serena cheered. "Here it goes!" She threw it just like the tiara, it went into the mansion and out the same window without breaking anything or hitting anyone."

"Good!" Edward applauded.

"That was brilliant! Please join the Princess Seminar." The Countess requested.

"Yay!" Serena cheered. "I did it!"

Later at the Hikawa Shrine everyone except Serena including Sonic and Tails were there and that's where Artemis explained himself and Mina's knowledge.

"I'm so glad we finally got that cleared up!" Sonic said.

"I hate to think that we were being stalked by people who we know we're not our enemies!" Tails said.

"But it is impressive!" Lita said. "So Serena went to Rose Mansion to learn how to be a princess."

"She'll come running back soon enough." Rei said.

"But I admire her for actively trying to become a princess." Ami said.

"Yes A for effort!" Sonic cheered.

"I just hope she turns into a proper princess." Artemis said.

"But what does it mean to be 'a proper princess'?" Mina asked.

"Huh?" Artemis asked.

"Can't Serena just stay the way she is right now?" Mina asked.

"Right after all, no one said she actually has to be a princess!" Tails said.

"Of course not!" Artemis said. "She has to be recognizable as a princess, no matter who looks at her."

"Why not?" Mina asked.

"Listen, Unless she becomes a proper princess, the Silver Crystal won't activate it's true powers!" Artemis explained.

"Say, why don't we keep Serena company?" Ami suggested.

"Good Idea!" The other girls cheered, Sonic and Tails, decided to just go home before anything weird happens to them.

"They're such impulsive girls!" Luna sighed.

Back at the Mansion Serena was practicing with the other girls to throw Frisbees.

"Haha!" Serena laughed. "If doing this can turn me into a princess, it's a piece of cake!" Something was happening in the main room in the mansion, the Countess watched them from a window above.

"This is what you wanted, Master Malachite?" The Countess asked. He appeared from a shadowy corner.

"Sailor Moon's specialty, 'Moon Tiara Action,' is similar to this game. She is a certified klutz." Malachite explained.

"In other words." The Countess said. "The girl who is good at the game, but too clumsy to graduate from the Princess Seminar is Sailor Moon, correct? But will such a Sailor Moon actually fall for our trap, I wonder?"

"She will." Malachite said, with confidence. "That is exactly the kind of person Sailor Moon is."

Later all the girls were called inside for eating lessons. Serena looked like she was being crushed from the inside.

"This dress is so tight!" Serena grumbled clutching her belly. She noticed the other girls not suffocating. "I've gotta admire them."

Then a butler poured soup in a soup bowl sitting in front of her.

"Ok everyone!" The Countess announced. "Let's eat!"

"Yay food!" Serena cheered. She took a spoon and immediately began to slurp really loudly. Everyone stared at Serena with disturbed looks, a butler approached Serena.

"No." He whispered in her ear. "You must not slurp."

"Oh, ok!" Serena said, she tried again but she still slurped.

"No!" The butler said, raising his voice. "Try one more time!" Still more slurping. He raised his voice even louder. "Again! Without Slurping!"

"I didn't know eating would be this hard!" Serena cried. Then it was time for the next lesson. Everyone retired to the Grand Hall for tea.

"A princess's speech is more important than anything else!" Instructed the Countess. "In particular, speaking formally is extremely important. Let us make sure to speak elegantly, courteously, appropriately with refreshment." Serena just yawned. "Then, let me ask somebody to demonstrate."

"This is the same as school!" Serena yawned.

"How about you, Miss?" The Countess asked Serena.

"Yes?" Serena rose up really quickly to see the Countess next to her.

"What do you say when you offer coffee to your guest?" The Countess asked.

"What?" Serena stammered, she spoke making all kinds of odd faces and hand gestures. "Well, um, that is.. Would you please care to have some coffee, if you would… please… if you will?" All the other girls giggled at her.

"You do not need to add such frills to your speech." The Countess said. "In this case, 'Please, have some coffee,' would do fine."

"Oh how would I know?" Serena sighed, hanging her head.

Later that evening the next lesson carried on in the main room and waltz music was playing, this time all the girls dressed up in sparkling white dresses and began to ballroom dance with the butlers.

"Gracefully. Gracefully, now!" The Countess instructed, standing in the center of the dancing room. "Un, deux, trios. In synch with the music, now. In synch. This will be the last class for the Princess Seminar. If I pat you on the shoulder, you have graduated."

Serena was naturally dancing like a complete moron she stomped on the butler's feet.

"YOU'RE ON MY FOOT!" He screamed in pain.

"Oops sorry!" Serena laughed. She then stepped on a section of her dress and she fell forward and landed on her face. "Oh, this is Hell!"

"You certainly never change!" Said the voice of Rei. She looked up and all of Serena's friends were there dancing, apparently they were participating as well.

"You're all here?" Serena cried.

"It's not fair to go off on your own like that!" Ami said.

"That's right." Mina said. "We're here to keep you company."

"Well." Rei grumbled watching the other girls dance. "I guess everyone has at least one good point." She began to dance with anger and she began to throw her dance partner around with anger.

"Everyone has something they're not good at." Mina said. She stared at her partner and began to move him around like a pilot controlling an airplane.

"GAHHHHH!" Serena screamed, Mina, and Rei's partners, they all stomped on their feet.

"I can do anything but dance!" They all said at the same time.

"I'm not good at anything." Serena said with sadness. "Maybe I can't be a princess at this rate."

The Countess walked by and began to pat the girl's shoulders, including Ami and Lita.

"All ladies who have graduated, please come to another room." The Countess announced, the other girls applauded the ones who passed. "I shall give you your certificate of graduation." They all left and Lita waved goodbye to Serena, Mina, and Rei, who were the only girls who failed.

"We failed." They all said hanging their heads.

Strange with the other girls who walked through the hall and they noticed strange statues of girls who looked just them except they all looked alarmed.

"This sure is eerie." Ami said, eying the statues.

"It's hard to believe they're not real." Lita said.

"You are correct!" The Countess said as everyone turned to see her coming from behind a statue. "The wax figures here all used to be real ladies."

"What?" Ami shouted as all the other girls were shocked. The Countess began to glow a red aura and began a sinister laugh and she began to change. She became a monster with a gold dress embroidered with golden seashells. The monster herself has a pearl necklace with blue skin.

"A monster!" Lita called.

"I am the monster, Shakoukai! Hello I am pleased to meet you!" Then all the shells opened up and began to shoot some sort of gunk at the girls. They all were hit and they to were turned to statues.

Back in the main room the others heard the strange noises.

"Hey." Serena said. "Did you just hear something?"

Something must have happened to Ami and Lita. Rei said.

"Let's go check!" Mina said, as they rushed to the room but were cut off with Shakoukai dropping from the ceiling.

"A monster!" Mina cried.

"It is a monster!" The other Butlers cried. "RUN!" They all ran for it, but the shells on the back opened up and shot gunk at them and they also became statues.

"Gross!" Serena panicked.

"I am so sorry." Shakoukai said. "You failed the Princess Seminar! One of you three must be Sailor Moon, but I wonder which one?"

"Why?" Serena asked with fear.

"Because it would be impossible for the clumsy, stupid, scatterbrained, common Sailor Moon to graduate from the Princess Seminar." Shakoukai explained.

"She's pretty shrewd!" Rei said. Serena had a violated look on her face.

"Hey!" Serena cried. "This time is no time to be impressed!"

"I shall turn you into wax figures!" Shakoukai shouted, aiming her shells and fired the gunk Rei dashed behind a column and Serena just tripped and the gunk flew over her. The cats both jumped down from a balcony above and landed on Shakoukai's head and began to scratch. "I cannot see anything!" The others ran and hid.

"Ok now's the time!" Serena said.

"Moon Prism Power Makeup!"

"Mars Power Make Up!"

"Venus Power Make Up!"

"Get off me!" Shakoukai shouted and she threw the cats off her face. She noticed that the girls were gone. "Where have those three ladies gone?"

"I'll never forgive you for failing Sailor Moon!" Her voice called. Shakoukai turned to see the other three Sailors standing on a balcony behind her.

"I'm the warrior of love and justice Sailor Moon!"

"Likewise, Sailor Mars!"

"Sailor Venus!" They all posed.

"In the name of the Moon we shall punish you!"

"So." Shakoukai said. "As I thought, one of those three ladies was Sailor Moon. Then take this!" She fired the gunk at them again. They just leapt down from the balcony.

"I'll just burn that!" Sailor Mars shouted.

"Fire Soul!"

The fire just stopped the gunk in midair. The fire then also became a wax sculpture. Then Venus tried to attack.

"Crescent Beam!"

The beam just like the fire while it did stop the gunk from hitting the sailors the beam was also just turned to wax.

"Neither Crescent Beam nor Fire Soul works!" Sailor Venus panicked.

"Where's Sonic when you need him!" Sailor Mars panicked.

"It doesn't look like my Moon Tiara Action will work either!" Sailor Moon panicked.

"OH,hohohohoh!" Shakoukai laughed approaching the Sailors. "I believe you will make excellent wax figures!"

"Oh, no!" Sailor Moon cried. "I like figurines, but I don't want to become one!" A black rose shot out and stopped the fight.

"This rose!" Sailor Moon cried.

"Could it be?" Sailor Mars asked.

"Good work, Shakoukai!" Tuxedo Mask said, approaching from behind.

"Master Endymion!" Shakoukai said. "Aren't you supposed to be going after Sonic?"

"Sonic!?" The Sailors cried.

"Tuxedo Mask, you came to rescue us, didn't you?" Sailor Moon cheered.

"Sailor Moon, give me the Silver Crystal." Tuxedo Mask ordered. "If you do, I will let you live."

"Those were not Master Malachite's orders…" Shakoukai whispered.

"What will it be, Sailor Moon?" Tuxedo Mask asked.

"Tuxedo Mask!" Sailor Moon whimpered. "Why is this happening?"

"Sailor Moon wake up!" Sailor Venus shouted. "This Tuxedo Mask is different from the Tuxedo Mask we know!"

"Come now!" Tuxedo Mask said, holding out his hand.

"Endymion!" Malachite yelled, appearing on the sidelines. "Do not meddle in my affairs, I do not your own! If I recall your job is to defeat Sonic and claim his two Chaos Emeralds!"

"What might you be talking about?" Tuxedo Mask asked.

"I have been running this operation." Malachite said. "I will kindly ask you to stay out of it."

"The important thing is to obtain the Silver Crystal." Tuxedo Mask laughed. "That's all, if you want something out of Sailor Moon you can take her Chaos Emerald!"

"What?" Malachite sneered.

"Excuse me!" Shakoukai called. "What should I…"

"Kill Sailor Moon!" Malachite ordered.

"No! the Silver Crystal comes first!" Tuxedo Mask ordered.

"No! Sailor Moon comes first!" Malachite argued.

"Crystal!"

"Sailor Moon!"

"Crystal!"

"Sailor Moon!"

"Whose order should I follow?" Shakoukai sighed confused.

"Ta-da!"Sailor Moon cheered, approaching her with a cup of coffee. "You must be so tired! Would you please care to have some coffee, if you would?"

"You do not need to add such frill to your speech!" Shakoukai sighed, shaking her head.

"This is my chance!" Sailor Moon said and she used the wand.

"Moon Healing Escalation Refresh!"

She reverted back to Countess Rose.

"So." Sailor Moon said. "She really was Countess Rose!" Malachite vanished. "Now I will use my power to restore Tuxedo Mask! Moon Healing…." Tuxedo vanished before she could finish the spell.

"Sailor Moon." Said the voice of Tuxedo Mask. "I will leave the Silver crystal in your keeping until we meet again! I guess I will need to pay a visit to your friends in the forest!"

Then all the wax statues all returned to normal.

The next morning, Serena ran to school late again, she made the decision to aim to be her own kind of Princess. Luna thought she was talking plain nonsense again.

At the outer border of the forest.

Tuxedo Mask has a man size black Salamander standing next to him.

"I don't care much for this pitiful little hamlet, so burn it!" He ordered.

"Yes sir!" The monster hissed he began to inhale and he blew out fire.
