Lady's Notes: Oookay... I'm hoping that this won't be so cliche it'll make everyone sick. I'm really trying to avoid that, and I know that Sailor Sun is generally cliche. Don't hate me, though, okay? I'm trying! I've never written a moonie fic before, but I guess I know enough to. I just don't know age gaps between canon characters so I'm just gonna make that part up.

Supernova in the Sky

"KOTORI!!!"

Silence.

"HEY! KOTORIII!!"

A slight moan, and a toss of the white comforter.

"DAMN YOU, WAKE UP!"

A woman looking no older than 20 made a mad dash into the room, a heap of long, platinum blonde hair following behind her as she leapt onto a single-sized mattress and the figure sleeping in it. Immediately, the tiresome redhead woke.

"Capella! What the hell was that for?" she yelled, shoving the girl off. Capella put her hands on her hips, her blue eyes sternly on Kotori.

"Do you have any idea what time it is?"

"Yes, I do," Kotori answered. "Now let me finish sleeping." With that, she laid back down and drew the white blanket over her head.

"Kotori, it's 5:30!" Capella whined, standing over the mattress. It was scruffy and obviously old, because a small spring was poking out of the corner. "If we don't get up, we aren't going to have enough time to make breakfast for the kids!"

"Cereal doesn't take but a minute to fix," Kotori moaned, a yawn audible beneath the blanket. "I need my beauty sleep. No little kid is gonna want to see a girl with a matted mane like mine in the morning…"

"SO GET UP AND TAKE A SHOWER!"

Capella pulled up the ends of the mattress and flipped it over, throwing Kotori out right on her butt. Sighing in relent, the redhead folded her arms.

"Fine. What are we making that takes an hour and a half to prepare?"

"Well, since it's Saturday," Capella said happily, digging through Kotori's pile of clothes, "I thought we'd fix them a nice big pancake breakfast! I'll work on the pancakes while you can work on the eggs and bacon! Doesn't that sound nice?" Kotori let out a big, tearful yawn and stretched.

"I'd rather have mochi…"

"Well it's not about what you want!" Capella said, tossing the redhead a long denim skirt. "Don't you have anything long-sleeved in here? That's not so… well…"

"Flashy? I like flashy things. I've got this black velvet thing in there somewhere… it should be clean…"

Capella rolled her eyes. Shouldbe clean. She was used to Kotori's ways by now, however, and found the long sleeved black shirt she was referring to.

"Here, now get dressed! There might be some mochi left over from last night's dessert if you hurry it up, okay?"

"God I hate being 18…"

The redhead dragged her feet all the way to the tiny bathroom her and Capella shared, the one that the blonde always kept clean. She grabbed some undergarments from the hamper – They're probably clean anyway…- and dropped her clothes on the toilet seat. It was too early to be waking up, she thought. She needed to get out on her own. The handles squeaked as Kotori turned on the shower, and once the water heated up, she jumped in.

"Why am I still at this wretched place?" she murmured, shuddering as the warm water pounded on her back. "I'm 18, I shouldn't be at the orphanage anymore. They can find someone else to make the children food everyday…" Angrily, she reached for the shampoo bottle.

Meanwhile, in the other room, Capella was attempting to clean up Kotori's mess, as she usually did every morning. She was used to acting like the girl's mother, by now, even though they were roughly the same age. The girl had a knack for being extravagant and bold, but lazy. Humming to herself, she threw some clothes that had an obviously dirty stench into a small hamper, and then decided it was a nice day, and drew the blinds on the window.

Only to see a large cat staring back at her. Capella gasped and took a step back, glaring right to the gold circle on Rufus's forehead. Unprepared for the encounter, Rufus stood and took a few steps back on the windowsill, careful not to knock over any plants. His mouth and hers hung agape.

Why was she so shocked to see him? He should be just an ordinary cat to her!

"Meow?"

"Don't you pull that with me!" Capella shouted, pointing her finger at him. "I know what you're up to!" Something wasn't right. Queen Mau never said anything about someone recognizing him!

"Meeeoooow?"

"I said stop that!" Capella bolted over to the window and slammed it open, and with a grunt, she grabbed Rufus and hefted him into the air. "Damn you're heavy… but you can't fool me! You stay away from her, you hear? You can't have her!"

"Meow?"

"Just talk already!"

Rufus sighed in defeat. "Okay… you may know what I'm talking about, but I have no clue what you're talking about…"

"Yeah right! I know the Sun Kingdom's symbol, and I know where your kind come from!" Capella shouted, glaring into the cat's eyes. "You're posing from the Sun Kingdom, but you're really trying to take their princess back to Mau because you don't have one anymore!"

"That is not true!" the cat yelled back, wriggling from Capella's grasp and falling to the floor. "Our Queen has been reborn, and she sent me here because the Sun Queen needs someone to bring their princess back! I was told that time is dire on the Sun! They need the help of their princess!"

"Oh yeah?" Capella said, folding her arms. "Why? What's the big deal with the Sun Kingdom?" Rufus was miffed. He had no idea. Queen Mau never told him exactly what was happening. Pouting, he sat.

"I don't know… I don't know anything… I knew I wasn't cut out for this…"

"Capella! Who the hell are you talking to?"

"Oh no, she's out of the shower!" the girl whispered, biting her nails. "Get out of here, you!" Rufus looked up at her awkwardly. Who did she think she was? He was on a mission! "Scram!"

Good enough for him! With amazing speed for a fat cat like him, Rufus leapt on the windowsill and out of sight. Sighing, Capella leaned against the wall, staring out at the sky. Things were about to change.

"Huh? Who was that? You're creepy when you talk to yourself," Kotori said, coming out of the bathroom in her undergarments, drying her hair with an old, crusty towel. "You should go see someone about that."

"I know."

And with that, Capella exited the room and headed for the kitchen. At this point, Kotori was determined to find out who the girl had been talking to. Usually nothing could slap her out of her determined mood, and something had definitely made her distracted. Poking her head around, the redhead found the window to be open, and, ignoring the cold air that brought goosebumps down her wet body, she surveyed the land down below. Alleys upon alleys, a garbage truck moseying down the road, and a pink-haired girl nearly trampled by quite possibly one of the biggest cats Kotori had seen.

Pink-haired girl! Ah!

"Dammit! Capella, I forgot ChibiUsa was coming to volunteer today! We've got to clean the kitchen!"

"Why?" the other girl called from afar. "She's just as much of a pig as you are!"

"Hey!"
