Ok, I want to start out by saying I don't own Sailor Moon.
I have thought about this story for a while and I know a few people have used this Sailor character in there stories (I'm not revealing the name though you can probably guess from the title). I want to say that my character is 100 my own and any similarities that she has to any other persons character is strictly coincidental. Same goes with my story line etc. Any similarities between my story and another persons is strictly coincidental.
With my story it's a bit of a mixture of the anime and the manga. I will be using the English names. Amara will be like she is in the manga, both a guy and girl. In the manga she changed between being a guy and a girl. To make it easier for you readers I will use Amara when she is a girl and Amar when he is a guy (I know that's pretty pathetic but it's the best I could come up with). Plus in my story Amara and Michelle are lovers not cousins. I don't think any one is THAT close to their cousin.
This story is set mainly around Serena and my character and takes place 3 years after the Starlights. Meaning the inner scouts are all 19. Darien would be around 24. Amara, Michelle and Trista would be about 21 and Hotaru would be about 16. These are the ages I am making them anyway.
Serena is currently working, Lita is studying to become a chef, Ami's studying to be a doctor, Mina's trying to become a singer, Rei's study business and is still working at the temple, Amara's racing (in my story Amara is mostly in her male form), Michelle is teaching violin at a exclusive music school and also still playing, Trista is teaching at Hotaru's school and Hotaru is still at school.
Serena was sitting in the café scratching her head, trying to solve the problem that lay in front of her.
"Argh! This is sooooo hard!" She said a little too loud. A few people dining in the café looked up at her wondering what in the world was so hard. As she was in deep thought the waitress was bring her over another milkshake.
"Here you go Serena. Having any luck?" She asked peering over Serena's shoulder.
"No I'm not. I don't know how I'm going to figure this out Lizzy." She replied looking up at Andrew's little sister, who was actually a few years older than her. She had been working at the café since Serena was in Junior School. Lizzy only worked their casually while she was studying at University.
"Aw, come on Serena, it can't be as hard as you're making it." Lizzy said as she picked up the book.
"You don't understand. Picking out my dress for my wedding is soooo hard! Look how many different designs there are." Serena replied snatching the book out of Lizzy's hand. Lizzy just shock her head.
"I still can't believe you're getting married. I mean, you're so young." Serena blushed at Lizzy's remark.
"Well, Darien and I are meant to be so there's no point waiting until we're older just for the sake of it." Serena said quietly.
"So when's the wedding?" Lizzy asked.
"Well, we were thinking about April next year."
"What! You mean you're not planning to get married for over year?"
Serena blushed. "Well, yeah. Darien wants to finish up his studies this year and then help me plan the wedding. I just thought that I would at least pick out my dress." Their conversation was interrupted when automatic doors to the café opened and in stepped a young woman about Serena's age.
"Huh, she's back. Wonder who she's meeting this time?" Lizzy said to herself aloud. Serena looked up at her.
"What ya mean? Who is she?" Both girls were silent as the young woman walked by at sat at a booth. She was average height, maybe a bit taller than Serena but not by much. She had very long brown hair with blonde highlights and light brown skin.
"She's been coming in here for the last couple of years but only every one and a while." Lizzy glances around to make sure no one is eavesdropping then sits down beside Serena. "Apparently, she's an heiress to a huge fortune. Her mother's dead and her father died a few years ago leaving her his fortune but she can't touch it until she's 21."
Serena gasped. "That's so sad. But how does she live if she doesn't have any money?"
"I never said she didn't have money. Since she's an heiress she has a lot on connections. She dropped out of high school when she was about 16 and got a job with a huge fashion company. She's one of the best fashion designers in the world. So many famous celebrities get her to designer their clothes. They practically beg her."
"Wow! That sounds so amazing." Serena was enthralled
Lizzy nodded. "She always comes here to meet her clients since it's a small café. People generally leave her alone." Lizzy stood up. "Better get back to work."
"Hey, how do you know all this?" Serena asked.
Lizzy just smiled. "I have my sources."
Serena just shook her head. Lizzy was as big of a gossip as Mina was.
Mina was running as fast as her legs could carry her. She looked at her wrist watch. "I can't believe I'm late!" She flew around the corner and could see her destination in her sites. "Thank god." She stopped just outside to catch her breath and try to compose herself before stepping inside.
Serena heard the door open and saw Mina walk in. Just as she was about to call out to her Mina looked in the other direction, apparently spotting the person she was suppose to meet. Serena watched as Mina walked over to the young woman Lizzy and herself were just discussing. "What in the world is Mina meeting her for?" Serena decided she was going to find out and slow crept close so she could hear their conversation.
"I'm so sorry I'm late." Mina apologised as she sat down opposite the woman.
"That's alright. I haven't been here long." She smiled warmly.
Mina returned the smile. "Oh, allow me to formal introduce myself. My name's Mina." Mina extended her hand across the table.
"Aurora." The woman, Aurora, shook Mina's hand. An awkward silence feel over the two. Mina decided to try a break the ice.
"No offence but you're a lot younger then I expected. You look about my age."
Aurora smile. "None taken. You're right, I am only 19 but I have grown up as a socialite, so I know a lot about the world you are trying so hard to become a part of." Before Mina could get another word in Aurora spoke again. "Let's get down to business shall we?" Mina nodded.
"To be honest, I don't design for debs." Aurora stated.
"Debs?" Mina asked in confusion.
"Singers or actors trying to make their debut."
"Oh, well, then I'm very grateful that you're making the exception." Mina said happily.
Aurora frowned. "I never said I had agreed to design for you." Mina was a little taken back. "An old friend had simply put in a good word for you, and since I consider them to be a good friend, I agreed that I would at least meet with you." Aurora studied Mina for a minute. She had a warm glow about her that made Aurora want to help her. "Tell me, how is your career coming along?"
"Well, I've been doing a few little concerts, I've recorded a couple of singles but they haven't gone too good. My agent isn't very good but it's so hard to find someone to represent you. It's really hard to create a good image and rep for yourself."
Aurora nodded. "You know, I think I can help you."
Mina's eye lit up when Aurora said that. She was about to thank her when she heard a crash.
Serena was as close as she could get to Mina and the woman, who she found out was named Aurora. She was listening intently, leaning over a plant. Unfortunately, the plant was starting to tilt. All of a sudden there was a huge crash. Mina and Aurora turned to see Serena face down on the floor with a big clump of dirt sitting on top of her head.
"Serena?" Mina looked down at her klutzy friend. Serena grinned at looked back up at Mina.
"Hi!"
Aurora looked at Mina. "A friend of your?" Mina nodded.
"What are you doing Serena?" Mina hissed, embarrassed and worried that Aurora might reconsider about designing for Mina after Serena's little fall. Serena picked herself up and dusted herself off.
"I was just having a milkshake when I saw you come in so I thought I would say hi." Serena said as she slid into the booth next to Mina. Serena smiled at Aurora. "Hi, I'm Serena." Aurora smiled.
"Aurora."
"I couldn't help but hear that you're going to design for Mina." Serena said with a huge smile.
"Yeah, it's hard NOT to hear when you're eavesdropping." Mina said frowning at her friend as she took a sip of her coffee. Serena just ignored her.
"You know," Serena continued, "I'm getting married next year and I was wondering would you design my wedding dress." Mina almost chocked on her coffee when Serena said this.
"Serena, are you crazy!? You can't just ask her if she will design your dress! She's a world leading fashion designer!"
Aurora didn't know what to think of these two. They were quite amusing. She let out a little laugh which distracted the two blonds from arguing. "I'm sorry to disappoint you Serena but I don't think you could afford my fee for my designs." Serena looked crestfallen.
"Awww shoot." Serena huffed. Aurora studied Serena for a minute. She had the same warm glow that Mina had, even brighter.
"Well, I'd love to stay and chat but I have other things to do today." Aurora said standing up. She shook Mina's hand. "I'll get a few things organised and I'll get in contact with you." Mina nodded.
"Thank you so much." Mina gushed.
Aurora turned to Serena. "It was nice to meet you too, Serena."
Serena smiled. "It was nice to meet you as well."
Aurora walked out the door. "You just had to embarrass me didn't you?" Mina scolded Serena.
"What ya mean? I didn't do anything." Serena looked totally innocent. Mina couldn't stay mad. She sighed.
"Never mind. You never get anything"
Aurora was walking through the newsagents looking at all the bridal magazines. Maybe it would be nice to designer her dress. Aurora thought to herself.
"Hello there." A voice said. Aurora looked up to see a friendly face.
"Hello Michelle. How are you?" Aurora smiled as Michelle walked up to her.
"I'm fine. And you?"
"I'm well." Michelle looked curiously at the bridal magazines that Aurora was looking at.
"Planning a wedding?" Michelle asked with a raised brow.
Aurora shook her head. "No, just getting some ideas." Aurora put down the magazine where it belonged. "I met with your friend Mina today."
"Oh." Michelle was curious to know whether Aurora would help Mina or not.
Flashback
Michelle was at a magnificent ball. She was thinking about the conversation she had a while back with Amara about how Mina was having trouble launching her career. She spotted an old friend across the dance floor and thought she would say hello.
"Long time no see." Michelle said with a smile. The young woman spun around and smiled when she recognised Michelle.
"Michelle, how are you?"
"I'm fine. How are you Aurora?"
Aurora shrugged. "Just the same as always. How is that handsome man of yours, Amar?"
Michelle smiled. "He's fine. He's currently racing in Europe. He should be back next week." They chatted a while until Michelle decided to ask for a favour.
"I have a friend. She is trying to launch her singing career and is having a bit of trouble and-"
"And you were wondering if I could help?" Aurora said, finishing Michelle's sentence .Michelle nodded. "You know very well I don't do debs." Michelle looked a little disappointed. "But…" Michelle looked back at Aurora. "I guess it wouldn't hurt for me to meet your friend."
Michelle smiled. "Thank you so much. I'll get her to call you." Aurora nodded
End Flashback
"I've decided to help her." Michelle smiled. She had a feeling Aurora would help. Aurora always had a warm glow about her even though she tried to hide behind a cold exterior at times but Michelle had known her for years, since they were young children. They both grew up in the same highlife world. But Aurora had no idea about Michelle's true identity.
"I also met a friend of hers, a bit of a klutz."
Michelle let out a small laugh. "I see you've met Serena then."
Aurora raised an eyebrow. "You know her?"
Michelle nodded. "Yes, she's a very dear friend."
"She asked me to design her wedding dress."
This information caught Michelle full attention. "And?"
"And…I think I will." Michelle was surprised. Aurora never designed for anyone that wasn't an A list celebrity.
"Well, it was great to see you again. We need to catch up some time." Michelle said.
"Yes. Say hello to Amar for me."
"I will."
