Hi everyone! I want to introduce to you my first Sailor Moon fic. This is more of an experiment than anything else, and if no one review it, then, well…
Anyway, please, enjoy!
"What happened?" Rei asked somewhere in the room. Serena slowly opened her eyes, unaware of her surroundings, or the fact that she was in Lita's room. Lita suddenly came into view followed by Mina and Amy. Serena opened her eyes fully and sat up in the low bed.
"Oh, what happened you guys?" The Sailor scout leader asked while messaging her head. "And why does my head hurt?" She looked around a moment. "Are we in Lita's room?" The four scouts exchanged looks.
"We don't know what happened out there, Serena, but something funky is going on." Lita said.
"That's for sure." Ray chimed in. Serena sat up completely now, spotting her reflection in the mirror across the room.
She couldn't believe the sight.
Somehow, someway, she had completely transformed. Into the image of her future self.
Her face was older now, with eyes that held maturity and wisdom. Her hair ran even longer than it had and, despite her being seated, one could tell she had grown a few inches. Serena slid off the bed and crawled to the mirror, a sight quite unusual to the other girls of their queen.
"I look…"
"Like Queen Serenity." Mina finished. The four scouts stood in amazement, breaths in their throats, as the queen gazed at her reflection. The door clicked open and another familiarly unfamiliar figure stepped into the room.
"Serena?" Her heart skipped a beat.
Darien stood taller and even more handsome than before, if that's even possible, Serena thought. His eyes, too, held a look of maturity and wisdom, though they had always held it to some extent. They gazed at each other in both amazement and wonder. Someone behind him sucked in her breath sharply.
"Mama!" Rini sped forward, throwing her arms around Serena, both of them toppling to the floor. "I missed you mama!" Serena sat still for a moment, stunned at the young girls emotion, until she relaxed and returned the hug.
"I missed you too, Small Lady."
"What's going on in here?" Artemis' voice rang out behind Darien, whose gaze was settled on his transformed girlfriend.
"Luna! Artemis!" Serena gasped.
They stood, side by side, on two feet, with two arms, a head, and long windswept hair. They had transformed into humans.
"The enemy did this to us when all of us tried to save you, princess, er, I mean, queen." Artemis explained.
"The enemy?" Serena asked, Rini latched to her neck.
"Yes, they appeared to have used a very large source of power to change us." Luna's long wavy hair twisted slightly as she talked and her crescent was vividly pronounced on her forehead. "We haven't figured a way to reverse it yet." The room went very quiet and only the soft breaths of everyone in the room could be heard. Rini suddenly nestled her face into Serena's neck and yawned. Serena tightened her arms around the small child.
"We should go home, but, oh!, there's no home to go to! What are we going to do?" Serena whined, though not as severely as normal. Everyone looked at one another. Then there was a hum of murmuring.
"Well, she won't be able to go to school tomorrow."
"Lucky!"
"Where will they all stay? No one has room for all of them."
"What about Serena's parents? Surely they'll miss her."
"Or not. Maybe they'll look at is as a blessing."
"Rei!"
"I know!" Lita declared brightly. "Serena can stay with Darien and Luna and Artemis can stay with me!" The room went quiet as everyone thought.
"We can't possibly impose on you, Lita." Luna said.
"Oh, sure you can. Besides, I need some company here." Lita said brightly. Everyone turned to Darien.
"What about Serena's parents?" More silence.
"Maybe Rini could use the same magic she used for herself on Serena's parents." Ami suggested. "You know, hypnotizing them." The room's attention shifted to the sleeping Rini in Serena's arms.
"How did she manage to fall asleep?" Mina wondered. Serenity stood.
"We should go to sleep soon." There was a sudden quality to the queen's voice that held the power to dictate events around her. Maybe it was her new height, or perhaps her enhanced looks, but Serena felt an odd commanding presence within her, one that gave her the knowledge of the responsibility she obtained as queen.
"I think that's an excellent idea, Lita. Luna and Artemis will stay here and Rini and I can go to Darien's." Serena gazed at the sleeping Rini as she said this, in a dreamy way, as if half aware of where she was. Not a care in the world floated around her petite frame as she glided out of the room with a murmured goodnight to the other girls. Behind her everyone kicked into gear, especially Rei, who began commanding everyone to their proper roles in the situation. Darien ran out after Serenity.
"Serena, are you feeling alright?" He asked worrisomely. Serena turned her head.
"Why wouldn't I be, Darien?" She asked.
"Well, I don't know, you just suddenly- it only seemed…" He stopped talking when he noticed the serene glaze to her eyes. She was gazing at Rini again, a look of wonder and amazement to her face. Darien smiled softly.
"C'mon. Let's go home.
Please, tell me what you think!
