Rikka had won the argument and Damien knew it. He knew she would win; he just liked to rile her up.
"There are 10, and they are staying the night. Can you tell Grandmother and get rooms ready?"
"10! Are you out of your mind! The girls are already spending the night, there are only three room unoccupied."
"Just get it DONE!"
"Yes your highness. Whatever you say goes your highness. Would you like your pilloew fluffed as well, Your Highness!"
"Absolutely."
"UGH! YOU'RE SUCH AN ASS DAMIEN!"
The Sailor Scouts watched as Damien's smirk got bigger and bigger as he argued with the person on the other line. Serena couldn't help but wonder if he enjoyed annoying the other person.
Damien hung up and turned to look at Sere, "A ride will here soon, until then we can wither head that way or stay here and get to know each other."
Drew and Kianna told everyone they had to get home, but they would see them all at the shrine tomorrow.
After saying good-bye to the two, Serena looked at Damien; "Do you have anything sweet?"
Damien laughed. For some reason he really liked this girl. "Yeah, we have birthday cake and ice cream left over from earlier."
"YAY!" Serena squealed. She was starving and craving sweets as usual.
"You're such a pig, meatball-head. It's a wonder you're not fat."
"REI! Shut up and stop picking on me!"
Damien couldn't stop laughing. The beautiful blue eyed blonde with silver highlights was so much fun.
Serena looked at Damien, and suddenly it dawned on her that he didn't know who they were, and yet he was still being such a gentleman.
SMSS-SMSS-SMSS-SMSS-SMSS-SMSS-SMSS-SMSS-SMSS-SMSS-SMSS-SMSS-SMSS-SMSS-SMSS-SMSS
The scouts heard the sound of a car and turned to see a black dual cab truck headed toward them. The truck pulled over a few feet from them, and a girl with long black hair stepped out.
"So L sent you instead?" Damien grinned.
Rikka growled, "shut up before I make you."
"Try it."
"Ugh! You're not worth it."
Damien turned to the scouts and introduced Rikka as their ride. Then he pulled Serena over to him and whispered in her ear; "You should ride with me, instead of with Grumpy."
Serena giggled. It sounded like fun. She then walked up to Rikka and introduced everyone.
"Hi. I'm Serena. This is my boyfriend Darien, my cousin Mina, and my friends Lita, Ami, Rei, Amara, Michelle, Hotaru, and Trista."
The group all said hi or nodded at Rikka when Serena introduced them. Rikka looked at Trista, almost as if she was studying her, and immediately she knew who these people really were.
LEO's POVThis girl. This young woman. This childish blonde is the Moon Princess. It's her, my queen… or at least future queen.
I knelt down on one knee in front of her and saluted the Starachian way (right fist over my heart).
"My Queen, I pledge my life, my sword, and my guard to you. Anything you need, I will do. I offer my loyalties as Sailor Leo to you Princess Serenity of the Moon."
NORMAL POVThe few seconds of stunned silence is deafening. Serena had no idea what just happened. This girl knew who she was.
"Trista?" Serena whispered."
"Serena, Rikka is the captain of the other scouts I told you about before we came." Trista looked at Rikka, "Are all of your scouts here with you?"
"Yes." Which was true, Mei had confirmed they were all here, Rikka just didn't know who they were.
Serena still didn't know who she was but she knew that the Pledge meant a lot to the captain; she had to accept it.
"I, Princess Serenity of the Moon, accept your pledge of loyalty and Thank you for it."
Damien stared at Rikka; he had never seen her so submissive before, nor had he heard her mention Leo around people. And Serena was the Moon Princess. He was stunned. It made sense now why he liked her so much. She was his little sister. His little Rin all grown up.
