"But Princess," pleaded the petit kitten, Diana, in her squeaky voice. "You must return to your room and get dressed because the wedding is going to start in two hours."
Rini stood on her parents' balcony. The very same balcony Neo Queen Serenity stood on waiting for Rini's return and the very same balcony the spirit of the monarch drifted through. Little Rini had her head tilted toward the glowing moon that was drifting in a hypnotic onyx sky, teeming with flickering stars.
"I wonder where Mommy is," said Rini in a near whisper. Her eyes gleamed under that natural moon light and her face was calm, relaxed.
"But Princess, the King will be angry if you are not prepared for the wedding."
Rini frowned at this and clutched her Luna ball tighter against her chest. "I don't care what Daddy thinks. It's not fair! I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye to Mommy and already, he's decided to marry Sailor Mars. It's not fair."
Rini crumpled her small figure onto the marble floor of the balcony. She hung her head low against the Luna ball, allowing her tears to pummel down her cheeks. She was trembling, vigorously shaking her head in denial, her pink pigtails bouncing.
Diana didn't know what to do to comfort Rini although she felt terribly sorry. All she knew was that if Rini wasn't prepared for the wedding, she'll be chastised be her parents, Luna and Artemis. So, she began tugging at Rini's skirt, prodding the toddler to get moving.
"You know, Diana," Rini said between crying gasps, mumbling into her Luna ball, "this is all Daddy's fault. If Daddy hadn't yelled at me that day, telling me to go outside and not disturb him working, I wouldn't have been captured by those ugly creatures. Then Daddy wouldn't have to come rescue me and leave Mommy here all alone. More importantly, I wouldn't have a new Mama."
"Don't you like Sailor Mars?"
"I do. But she's not my Mommy and she never will be. No one can replace Mommy. But already, Daddy and the entire Crystal Tokyo is making her the new queen. Already, he's forgotten all about me."
"Its okay, Princess, I still haven't forgotten about you."
"Its all Daddy's fault and I'm never going to forgive him!"
With that, Rini stood herself up, and stubbornly waddled out of the grand chamber with her stubby toddler legs, having no innocent intention in mind.
