Hello all and welcome. I don't own any rights to sailor moon I just love it so much but any who please be gentle on me and enjoy my story I'll try to answer any confusion or concerns. Rated M for future chapters.
Chapter 1
It all started as, and day would have in the Country of Tolund a country where the weather is always almost perfect every day the weather usually sunny here and we were a large island surrounded by three different beaches. This morning towards however was the end of August, it was the first day of school and I was looking forward to my junior year. I live in the royal capital city of Ohagasands it's called that because this is the main living quarters of Earths royal family lived. My name is Darien shields, I am 18 years old, and I live in the upper ring of Ohagasands where all the other rich and noble families' lives, not every family even rich is allowed to live in the upper rings because this ring was highly protected and was very close to the castle. My home was actually 2 blocks away from the royal grounds. My family was the second richest family in this country next to the royals and probably the 5th richest in the world. My family runs a train of luxurious hotels around the world that has been passed down through generations. I attend a private school in second ring of the city called Mary Kay's private school, where I play a numerous number of sports. I have a thing for joining sports and brings their stats higher than they were before. I've been told I have a very cocky individual but hey who is going tell me about myself I'm Darien shields for goodness sakes. My family runs this place and I run this school.
Alright I'm leaving for school I yelled to my parents. Darien dear, my mom stated don't you want one of the drivers to take you to school. No mom I'm cool and don't wait up for me I'll be staying after school for basketball practice. Okay dear mom said with a melancholy smile. She walked me to the garage of our extremely large mansion as I got into my black expensive car and waved her goodbye. As I was driving towards school my phone started to ring it was my best friend, Mina. Darien where are you the girls and I are sitting up at the school waiting for you, she screeched into my cars Bluetooth. I'm on my way in probably 6 minutes away. Okay I'm so excited this is definitely going to be our year. I only smirked this was something Mina said every year. Okay I'll see you soon as I proceeded to end the call. As I pulled up to the school a lot of the students started gushing and screaming as I pulled into my parking space. I could see Mina and the girls standing to the side with pissed expression on their face. I chuckled out loud as I got out of my car taking my sunglasses off. I waved to my admirers and continued on to my friends. There was Mina 18-year-old bubbly daddy's girl blonde hair blue eyed bombshell. Mina is heiress to a wine company fortune Mina was no other way to put it gorgeous standing at about 5'4" she had hair down to her waist that she kept stylish along with her clothes, then the very beautiful but very studious Ami with her light blue hair she dyed last year daughter of a very brilliant and rich scientist and owner of a electronics company, the gorgeous Rei who was better than you at everything because she said so the fiery girl with black hair and the attitude to match the daughter of many museums and halls in the city, Lita the tall sassy and beautiful brunette who was a very much the girly girl of the group is the daughter of the family who owned many upscale restaurants. These were my best friends and we all lived in the upper ring of the city, and everyone was envious of us, but I especially loved it.
Our family usually stayed in the news our family and its rich lifestyle were entertainment for the country and probably the whole world. We were constantly followed by cameras and paparazzi; we were known as the families that had everything. Are you excited about the out senior year Lita asked me. You know what I actually got the feeling something is going to be different this year, I can't seem to put my finger on it I don't know if it's a good different or a bad different. Rei looked at him with large, surprised eyes which was weird to the group because Rei usually showed no emotions, she was nonchalant about everyone and everything. I had the exact same feeling this morning. The group sat there looking at each other what could possibly be different Mina finally interrupted their revere. We started to continue our walk into the school. Many students were waving at us and smiling others were pointing and frowning while whispering to each other. Typical.
As I parted ways from the girls because the bell rang signifying first period had started, I was stopped by the coach of the football team. Darien, I know you're busy with basketball, track, football and soccer this year, but do you think you would be interested in joining the swim team. It was coach rogers he had a nervous look on his face eagerly waiting for me to reply with my decision. Of course, I would join but I loved seeing people in pens and needles. I'll let you know by the end of the Day okay coach Roger's I have to focus on my studies, I lied quickly just to get him to leave me alone. I would tell him my answer at the end of the day. Being 6'1" with an athletic build everyone wanted me on their teams. I started to continue my walk to my class, I was definitely late by now, but I didn't care. The school never reprimanded me or any other kids that lived in the hills that's what we named the upper ring because we bought the school acknowledgment, and everyone wanted to send their kids to this luxury exclusive school all around the world.
You're late the teacher boomed loudly towards me I turned to shut the door while the teacher cleared their throat oh Darien it's you, please accept my apology please take your seat. Like I said I ran this place I thought myself. I sat in my seat towards the back of the class looking out the window even though I wasn't paying attention I heard everything that was going on in the class I kept good grades my parent didn't play with me having bad grades, but school bored me and not to mention everyone kept staring at me nothing I did was private. One girl in particular thought she was my girlfriend, Ann a red-haired girl in my year who I can say was attractive, but I would never make it official with her. I made it official with no one I was a man never to be claimed even though most the time I was sleeping with her and fucking her brains out I guess she would be the closest to what you would consider a girlfriend right. I usually one nighted these girls that's all they were begging for any way a chance to say they had me. But they never will. I guess these girls think Darien runs the school, he has everything going on for himself a nice car, money money and more money, awesome friends, the best athlete this school has ever seen, and plus everyone must admit I am smoking hot. Jet black hair, midnight blue eyes and the body of a track GOD (whatever that meant.) Anyone who was anyone wanted to be around me, be seen with me even sat in the air I breathed. They all wanted to be a part of our group. Well Mina's group I just tolerated them. The parties the butlers', maids', drivers', private jets, large mansions almost as big as the castle. Life was good the only one better than me w the royals, but it didn't matter because no one had access to them not even all the noble families were allowed on the royal grounds and that bothers me a bit. I don't like being told what I could not do.
(At the castle)
Okay you can do this just walk in there and tell them what you want what's the worst that can happen. A young beautiful blonde girl with blue eyes and long wavy hair to her lower waist, standing at about 5'1 said to herself. There is nothing to be afraid of what's the worst they can say is no right. I mean I am their daughter they wouldn't embarrass themselves like that in front of the dukes and earls and other nobles visiting from other countries right. She started pacing back and forth fidgeting with her gown. She looked outside into the royal gardens maybe she would be able to do this another day. Noooo she yelled at herself you've been holding this off for two years now and it's now or never. She started to walk toward the large blue and gold doors and barged in interrupting the current speaker as everyone paused to look at the intruder.
Mother father I think that it would be highly recommended by the royal advisors that it should be time that I start to learn the people of Earth and know them since I will be queen someday the small girl said. But her parents ignored her and continued to talk to their royal advisors and planners. Serena looked back and forth at her mother and father; she was really beginning to lose her temper. A thought suddenly crossed her mind her parents hated when she acted unruly and un lady like so she got up on to one of the marble statues in the great room and spoke as loud as she could saying HEEEEEYYYYYYYY SELENA AND SALEMMMMMM IMMMMM TALKING TO YOUUUUUUUUU!!!
Everyone in the room she stood there looking dumbfounded, they knew their princess for her antics and hijinks but this by far was too much. Princess Serena what is the meaning of this why are you behaving as such a way Queen Selene asked her daughter. The queen was obviously upset she had a crease in the middle of her forehead and and obvious scowl upon her face she was trying her hardest to hide her anger from but her daughter was acting very spoiled these days and she was embarrassed.
King Salem butted in, please may everyone excuse us the queen and I would like to have a word with our daughter. As the guards and advisors and everyone else were leaving the room they all eyed their princess they couldn't believe this was who was heir of earth one day. But voicing such opinions were unheard of and she knew it so she did what she wanted when she wanted.
Ok daughter you have our full attention please continue king Salem announced. Serena couldn't hold her excitement she was practicing what to say to her parents all day long in her chambers in the mirror, but it all came out in a jumbled mess. Iwasthinkingaboutleavingthecastlethisyeartogoamongstmypeerstobeabetterprincessandfuturequeenforthepeopleof she took a long breath and finally said earth.
Her parents couldn't help but look at her with a puzzled looks on their faces. Then the queen finally spoke up that's weird it almost sounded as if you were asking to leave the safety of the castle walls and guards to go out in public. Yesssss that is exactly what I am asking I want to feel life outside these walls without the constant cover of my guards and being covered up from head to toe I want to know our people not just rule over them, this could be a huge learning experience for me if you'd only give me a chance, Serena finished with pleading eyes.
Dear daughter, you must understand it is by law that a royal princess must stay hidden from public for her own safety. It is only when a princess is queen or has found a suitor which ever first that she shall reveal herself to her subjects.
But who made these unjustified laws anyways I mean if I was a prince the whole world would have known who I was by now and that is not fair Serena said pouting.
Now Serena the queen spoke up you understand that being a royal means doing things we may not like or may not want to do but we do it for the good of our people to keep them happy. But what else can they be or go it's not like our family does not govern the whole planet. Now Serena I will not have that type of talk her mother raised her voice in a few octaves but quickly regained her composure happy to have known there was no one else in the room to hear her outburst but her daughter has really been trying her nerves lately. The queen had a silent wish that why couldn't her daughter just enjoy the life that was handed to her and just be a gentle princess and enjoy the gowns and balls and tiaras like she did when she married into the royal's family when she was only 22. The queen looked at her daughter and told her to behave of a princess at all times. Stand up straight and show smile like you were taught.
Father, with one last attempt to persuade her parent's what good is it that you are the king of this beautiful planet if your own daughter cannot do as she pleases I cannot really see the wonders of this world until I am married or queen what kind of life is like that enjoy being cooped up in the castle for all my life having a man come into to my life to tell me what to do when I am married to bear heirs for another miserable child to be born unto this miserable family well this is not a family even if I've never seen the functions of a normals family. With tears in her eyes, she said if this is what my life is to be then I will renounce the throne today.
The king and queen felt bad for their daughter they didn't understand this is how she was truly feeling they both had the freedom to wonder the kingdom as young people because the rules did not apply to king Salem when he was a prince, and the queen was only a noble born living in one of the northern countries. Ok so amuse us Serena tell us what you would like to do to become more accustomed and adjusted to the people of Earth?
Well mother Serena said excitedly wiping the tears from her eyes I would like to spend my last two years in a public high school! WHAAAAATTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!????????
(Back at the school)
The day went by in a blur to me, and it was already our lunch hour which meant only one class left to go. So what activities are you all getting involved into this year Ami asked I have already signed up to be a tutor and I have joined the math and chess club so far, she said.
Well, I plan on joining the garden club and maybe take up some baking classes too Lita responded. Lita was always such the motherly and girly girl of the group and I loved that about her. I loved visiting her home because there were always some types of delicious foods that even my own cooks didn't know how to perfect. And Lita took taking over her family business seriously.
Well, I'm pretty sure you all know what type of projects I'm already involved in so we can skip me I said the girls knew I participated in almost every sport I could I loved working out and the adrenaline I felt every time we won, and I was the reason for the win. It was a rush.
Before Mina and Rei could announce what, they were interested in two boys walked up to our table. Mike and Tom. Two boys from the 2nd ring. Hey Darien, how's it going they asked. Rei shot them a look almost like daggers she hatred being interrupted Rei was a very scary girl even though she was small herself she was very intimidating adorable, but she studied martial arts and was not afraid to use her techniques.
The boys proceeded to talk as Ami and Mina tried to calm Rei down, she's looked like she was ready to flip these boys and they were all unaware of the danger they were in. So, we heard you're thinking about joining the swim team. Irritation clearly spread across my face, and it must have shown because the two boys tried to clear it up well, I mean if you don't that's cool, but it would be awesome if you did oh yea, we're throwing a party at my house tonight Tom spoke up and wanted to invite you all.
Lita jumped up first to tell them we'll be there, but I knew she only said this because she wanted to get the boys far away from our table.
This is going to be major points on our social ladder the boys whispered leaving the table. You think the paparazzi will follow the other asked, I sure hope so the other responded.
A party, this should be interesting, Mina said, Well I guess that gives us an excuse to go shopping and get our nails done today while Darien is practicing. We'll swing by around 6:30 ok Darien Mina said, you should be well and done with practice by then that way we can all get ready at your house mina said looking around the table at all of us.
That's fine with me I said. Even though we were all around the same age I treated these girls like my younger sisters since we all grew up together. It would have been nice to add some guys to our group, but everything goes her way princess Mina would never let just anybody into our circle. Sigh. I need to find these girls some boyfriends and fast. I know I'm a hypocrite, Mr never get tied down wants to tie down his friends, but I never get to be a man around them.
Even though we had the next class together I decided to tell them to go ahead without me, I had business to attend to. As we went our separate ways, I was approached by a group of boys. Darien, man how do you do it how can you keep yourself so composed around them they're so beautiful almost like goddesses themselves. I chuckled it's nothing they're like my sisters, they're sweethearts really. Besides I'm a very serious man about my sports and I have so many girls flocking to me to preoccupy my thoughts anyway and if any girl thinks she worthy of me can try to take me off the market, but until then I'll continue to have my fun. The group of guys could only high five and congratulate one another on what exactly, nobody knows. Well can you put a good word in for me to Rei or one of the others please, me too the other started shouting sure why not I said continuing on to class, me settle down with one woman yea right, were my thoughts as I proceeded down the hall to my last class.
(Ohagasands castle)
Princess Serena was sitting on her bed with her chamber-lady standing close by princess are you sure this is what you want to do Luna who was more so like a second mother asked as princess what if something happens to you you could be defenseless kidnapped or worst. I think you should wait at least until we announce your betrothal to the duke Diamond for your 18th birthday first to at least introduce you to the people of earth.
I am quite sure Luna thank you so much for your concern, but I mean I am 17 years old, and I have never even had an actual conversation with other people my age. I want to know other people's likes dislike how it feels to be a normal teenaged girl. But that is the thing princess you are not a normal teenage girl you are princess of earth future ruler of our planet future wife of the duke of the western counties Diamond. Well, what if that's not what I want for me what if I want more I want to laugh with real friends and run with the wind in my hair meet people who like me for me and maybe fall in love she said quietly, but Luna heard her.
Luna responded, but this is what is expected of you. Serena cut her off would you be happy if you fell in love with Artemis, but someone took that away from you and told you that you can't love him because we found someone else for you to love. I am still a human am I not I was just born in the wrong body as the daughter of a king and queen.
Luna looked at her princess with understanding in her eyes. She had been taking care of Serena since her birth and loved her very much and wanted to see her happy she understood because she loved her husband Artemis and wouldn't give him up for the world. She knew many people who would love to be in the princess's shoes, but listening to her she understood that the life of a young royal wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Well, if you are sure this is exactly what you want to do then I support you and I am behind you all the way.
Serena only smiled at Luna.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Your highness? The king, queen and the royal advisor have requested an audience with you in the royal thrown room one of the guards announced.
Thank you very much please advise my parents that I shall be joining them shortly Serena told the guards.
He bowed and exited her chambers.
Serena walked down the halls with Luna following closely behind her through the halls and she had to admit to herself that she was actually kind of nervous. She was probably going to be punished for her outburst. She started to think of all the ways she could be punished she would probably be on servants' duty or probably no service to her chambers for a week she could handle it. Whatever the punishment was she would accept it. She was used to being in trouble. As she reached the throne room, she just knew what they were going to say. First tell her about her behaviors earlier and then tell her why she couldn't leave to go to a regular school because It's too dangerous or you may get lost this will never work blah blah blah as she tried to prepare herself for her rejection of her request.
Serena nodded to the guards that was in charge of standing watch in front of the room to motion that she was ready to enter. As the guard opened the door Serena inhaled deeply and held her breath as her and Luna walked through the two enormous doors.
May I present to you her Royal Highness Serena princess of Earth! And her royal chamber lady Luna the Guard said before closing the doors behind them.
Princess Serena. So, you know why we have requested your presence here today correct? The queen asked.
Yes my queen I am very well aware of my request to join the citizens of earth in a public high school setting and must I say I am very sorry that I even brought it to your attentions I am very well aware of the dangers I can put myself in as well as my family and I promise that when the time comes when I am queen that I will go about meeting my subjects that correct way and……..
Princess Serena. Princess Serena. SERENA PLEASE LISTEN. The advisor finally yelled out. If you would please excuse my sudden outburst but you just kept on going and going.
Serena finally stopped with all of her ranting and was a little embarrassed she didn't even notice that they were trying to get her attention, and all had little smirks on their faces.
Daughter, we have all decided to approve your request is what we were trying to tell you the queen said while smiling. The queen looked to be just as happy as she was and that made her look even more radiant. The queen was a woman in her late 30s she was what the people of earth described as one of the most beautiful, graceful women in the world and they didn't think this only because she was the queen but because she actually was. The queen stood at 5'6' silver hair to her knees and very light blue eyes she was very slender she was an older taller version of Serena.
But! the royal advisor interrupted. There are very specific guidelines that you must stick to before we allow you to leave the safety of the castle gates and security. First rule you must change your name to Serena heals instead of Serena Tolund while attending school. Second there will be no speaking of what happens behind the castle walls third you will be posing as a rich girl in the 2nd ring of the hills of the city living with your guardians Luna and Artemis, fourth there will be no public schooling for you I'm sorry only the private school Mary Kay and the most important rule you may not expose yourself to anyone as the princess for your own safety. We advise that it would be best to stay away from touchy subjects while the people are having open discussions on the royal family ok.
Serena could not believe what she was hearing. She agreed to all of their terms and conditions without hesitating.
Oh, and before we forget the generals must accompany you to school as regular junior boys watching over you, jadeite nephrite zoisite and kunzite please step forward.
Serena took a huge gulp. Ut oh.
