CHAPTER 1: SEVEN AM AT THE TSUKINO HOUSEHOLD: SERENA'S MORNING RITUAL
You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when
you have really lived, are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love.
--Henry Drummond.
"SERENA WAKE UP YOURE GOING TO BE LATE!"
Serena shot up from her bed, sending her kitty Luna across the room.
"Ma, five more minutes." She mumbled sleepily and promptly fell back into bed snuggling with her bunny covers. Her peace disrupted by a black cat sitting on her chest. Sapphire eyes shot open meeting with green ones.
"Luuuuuna!" Serena whined, "Get off me! I said only five more minutes and I mean it. A girl needs her beauty sleep."
The cat didn't budge and only answered her with an indignant meow. Serena huffed shoving the cat off of her to stand up and stretch.
"Stupid fat cat always trying to wake me up! No more meow mix for you only jenny criag." Serena said poking into the kitty's stomach. Unfortunately the kitty didn't see eye to eye with its master and struck out its paw to scratch her finger in anger.
"AYA!" Serena wailed piteously her eyes tearing. "I was just joking, god Luna have a sense of humor. Who's the master here anyways?!"
Luna gave her master a haughty look and jumped down her bed running towards the hallway.
"Stupid cat," Serena mumbled while sucking on her cut, "always thinks she's the boss of me."
Serena's angry mumble was cut short as her eyes widened at the time displayed lovingly on her alarm clock.
"I'm going to be late!!!" Serena screamed rushing around her room putting on a black skirt suit with a white blouse and a matching black jacket.
"Oh I can't be late! I just got promoted! What's Andrew gonna think of me now?" Serena mumbled in tears hurriedly putting her hair up in her signature hair style.
"Now we're never going to get married…" she grumbled sadly.
"Who would marry a baka like you anyways?"
Serena's eyes widened and she turned around to her brother grinning up at her.
"YOUR DEAD SHINTA!!"
Shinta squealed with fear and ran down the stairs. His sister might have been a klutzy baka but she sure knew how to pack a punch plus she was ten years older then him. In what way is that fair? Why couldn't she pick on someone her own size? But then again life never is fair.
"Mama!" Shinta wailed diving into the kitchen and hiding behind his mom before his sister could get to him.
"On no you don't butthead no hiding behind mom. Come out and meet your maker." Serena declared as she reached the doorway glaring daggers at her bratty brother.
"Butthead? What are you like two?" Shinta said smirking before his mom could comment.
Then all hell broke loose as Serena's temper hit its peak and she dived for her little brother.
Luckily the action awoke Mrs. Tsukino from her momentary shock so she could intervene. She stepped between the two quarreling siblings.
"Stop it this instance!" she said in her no-nonsense voice.
Serena and Shinta both stopped slightly ashamed of themselves.
Mrs. Tsukino huffed, serves them right!
"Now sit down and eat breakfast like civilized humans."
Shinta and Serena nodded demurely and walked to their respected seats. But Shinta had revenge in his mind so he put out his foot conspicuously and our poor heroine didn't have a chance as she fell flat on her face.
"Shinta!" His mother chastised.
Now Shinta felt really ashamed but not ashamed enough to help his sister up so he sat down in his seat obediently. Trying his hardest not to incur is mother's wrath.
"Serena darling are you okay?" Mrs. Tsukino asked stooping down to help her daughter up.
"Waaaaah it hurts!" Serena sniffed rubbing her nose.
Mrs. Tsukino rolled her eyes. Her daughter could be quite a drama queen at times.
"Serena get up and eat your breakfast."
"So mean..." Serena mumbled to herself as she got up to sit in her seat.
"Humph if I was a mean mama I'd have kicked you out of this house a long time ago." Mrs. Tsukino told her daughter while piling her plate with pancakes.
Serena felt even more dreadful. She was 20 soon to be 21 and yet she still lived at home. When was her life ever going to change will she be thirty still living at home.
"If only I had a prince charming." She thought wistfully.
"Hey baka no nee-san what time does your job start?" Shinta said trying to keep his amusement out of his voice.
Serena looked contemptuously at him as she stuffed another bite of pancake goodness into her mouth. "It starts at eight why?" She said snobbishly, well as snobbishly as one can sound with a mouth full of pancakes.
Shinta smiled evilly at his sister oh was he going to enjoy this. "Because it's eight-thirty right now."
"KYAAAAAA!!" Serena shrieked standing up so fast that she knocked down her chair. "I havta go bye mama bye twerp! Wish me luck!" She yelled putting on her heels and rushing out the door. God Andrew was going to kill her and her beautiful princess wedding was good as gone now.
Serena's mom smiled at her daughter's retreat she sure knew how to make a ruckus. She got up from her chair to clear Serena's plates praying to the god's that her young daughter could soon find a happiness all of her own. It was time Serena had her own life and the older she got the more nervous Serena's mom got that her daughter would soon become a heartbroken spinster. But for now all she could do was pray to the gods that they knew what was best for her lovely daughter.
