Disclaimer: I'm not worthy of owning Sailor Moon. Look at what happens when I write fanfiction! I take forever to update. Maybe I should jump in front of a car after I finish this story…

"Speaking"

'Thoughts'

Chapter 4

To say that the blonde was mad would be a serious understatement. She let out a roar- not a shriek, a roar- and lunged at the tree, blue eyes narrowed into slits as they glared up at the smug kitty in the tree. Luna only stared down in amusement as the murderous blonde tried to claw her way up the tree.

"LUNA, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!! I'M GOING TO THROW YOU IN THAT BATHTUB AND SCRUB YOU THROUGH TO THE BONE!!" Serena screamed up at her feline advisor/house pet.

"You have to catch me first, Serena," Luna said, tauntingly lunging forward, as if about to jump down from safety and try to outrun Serena. Serena howled, and her efforts doubled. Luna rocked back on her paws, her sense of balance keeping her safely on the tree branch she was perched on. A deliciously evil idea entered the cat's head.

She twisted slightly, unfurling her tail and letting it dangle down towards Serena. The blonde's eyes flashed, and she jumped up, hands reached out to snatch the cat by her tail and pull her down to her watery doom.

Quick as a flash, Luna pulled her tail up out of Serena's reach. Serena shrieked louder than a banshee, her eyes flashing dangerously. Luna snickered, thoroughly amused by her charge's antics. Serena jumped up, arms flailing above her angrily as she sought to grab onto the cat.

A few minutes passed this way. Luna would lower her tail and jerk it out of Serena's reach at the last second, and the blonde was getting angrier by the second. Finally, she screamed and stormed off into the house.

Although Luna was amused by this, she also was somewhat worried. Serena was a stubborn person, and normally wouldn't give up so easily. For a few seconds, Luna wondered what the blonde was planning, but she immediately dismissed the thought as ridiculous.

Serena would never be able to come up with a plan that could outsmart her.

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, that cat is going to pay! She's going to learn to never, EVER mess with me!" Serena mumbled as she stomped into the kitchen. Still grumbling to herself, she opened the cupboard and rummaged through it for a moment.

"Where is it…? Where is- Aha! Here it is!" Serena grinned, pulling her arm out of the cupboard, a box held in her hand. With an evil laugh, she shut the cupboard and skipped out of the room. After tripping over one of Sammy's shoes that had been carelessly left lying in the living room ("Even when he's not HOME he annoys me!"), Serena made it to the door, which she threw open.

Sticking her head out the door, she looked at Luna. Her evil grin grew winder. Luna stared at her charge, wondering what she was up to.

"Oh Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Serena said in a sing-song voice. Luna bristled, alarm bells going off in her head.

"Look what I haaaaaaaaaaaave for yooooooooooooooou!" The girl pulled the box out from its hiding place behind her back with a flourish, waving the brightly-colored cardboard container at the feline.

Luna's eyes widened, and her whiskers twitched.

Her gaze was fixed completely on the box in her charge's hands. The bold letters stared out at her from across the yard, taunting her.

Mr. Num-num's Meow Meow Treats.

And Luna had only one thought.

'Oh, sugar honey iced tea.'

Author's Notes

I feel horrible. Absolutely horrible. The wait you've had to endure for this update is inexcusable. And so I have decided to make a New Year's Resolution. (I can't even make THOSE on time)

1) From now on, I will sit down at my computer every weekend and type up chapters.

2) I will also make it my goal to update every two weeks at the latest.

3) If I cannot type the story for whatever reason, I will write it down on paper.

Feel free to send me reviews full of scolding and screaming for the long wait. I deserve them.
