Serenity

Dream Sequence

"Now, Rini, sweetheart, this is how you tie your shoe," said the wise caring voice of a lovely young woman with golden hair, showing her daughter how to tie her shoe.

"But, mommy, we have maids to do that," said the pink haired girl. "At least that's what Mars tells me."

A light, silky laugh came out of Serenity. "Ah, but you see, young one, while it is what they do here, it is best to be shown how to do these things yourself. And why is that, Rini?"

The little girl bit her lip thoughtfully in concentration. Then she brightened up. "So that you don't always have to count on other people, and so you know how to do it yourself, so when you need it, you can do it." she burst forth.

The queen smiled and kissed her daughters head. "Very good, darling, very good."

And then the scene was shattered by the older, evil Rini, attacking all of her friends, her, and then snuggling with Prince Diamond.

End dream sequence

-BEEP! BEEP!-

"Serena, wake up! The girls need you."

The blonde jerked awake, and threw herself out of bed. "Okay, Luna. I'll be right there. Moon Crystal Power!"

Sailor Moon jumped from her window and landed on her feet and started running towards the place where the girls were fighting bunches of over-sized, under-sized and oddly shaped Nega-monsters.

She pulled out her scepter, only to have it knocked out of her hand by a spike that was shot at her. It cut into her glove and into her flesh, turning the beautiful white of her glove to a blood red.

"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" yelled the exhausted Soldier of Love, slouching down. Her hair, which was usually neatly tied back in her red bow had fallen down and was falling around her scratched and bruised face in choppy wisps.

"Mercury Bubbles..." the Soldier of Water and ice could not even finish her attack as she fell down to one knee, holding her sprained or fractured arm to her stomach.

"WE can't let them win, girls!" yelled the ever feisty Jupiter, though she was reaching the end of her rope. "Jupiter Thunder Crash!"

Jupiter's attack did absolutely nothing to the monsters; in fact, it seemed to charge them more.

Mars stoop up, panting. "We can't take them. There's too many."

Sailor Moon stood up after fighting ten monsters off of her. There was something different about her all of a sudden. Her hair had grown about two inches longer and was now silver with golden highlights.

She sudddenly wore a beautiful, elegant velvet dress that was the color of the midnight sky; or maybe just a bit lighter. On the right side of her skirt was embroidered bright silver vines that went from the bottom hem to her kneecap. On these vines were embroidered roses in bloom, and budding.

The bodice was tight around the curves, and the neckline plunged low, with a silver piece of satin coming up to maintain any modesty. The sleeves went to the elbow where they draped down to about mid thigh.

In her hair were two small, but beautiful rose clips, one on each odango, that were platinum and sapphire.

She held a beautifully crafted scepter, about the size and shape of her moon scepter.

She held it in front of her with one hand and confidently, and quietly, said her attack. "Moon Rainbow Beam Radiate!"

Her dress and scepter glowed each of the Scout colors; red, blue, orange, green, and then shined white until it became Princess Serenity's gown.

The attack that flew out of the scepter held each of the scouts elements; fire, love, lightning, ice/water, and then white like moon beams. The attack itself was a white heart surrounded by a dancing fire, floating bubbles, lightning clouds, and a series of blowing kisses.

It swelled big enough to engulf the whole park, then slowly dissipated into nothingness, as did the whole transformation around Sailor Moon, who sunk to the ground, completely exhausted.

The Scouts stood there in wide-eyed amazement before Mars broke the silence. "Gosh, Sailor Moon, why didn't you pull a Princess Serenity earlier, huh? And where were you earlier?"

Sailor Moon looked up at Raye. "I'm sorry Mars, if I do not feel the need to give you every detail of my life." she said coldly, standing up. "Come on, Luna."

Luna looked up sadly. "Serena, you do have to admit, Mars has a point. Had you been awake-"

Serena at this point, totally lost it. "Oh, yes, let's agree with Mars on this, shall we? Yes, let's hail almighty Mars just because she has a point! Well, I'll tell you what, Luna. When Raye finds out her future daughter has been brainwashed by evil, and when she spends all of her nights pacing the floor, not getting any sleep for being so worried sick that the thought of sleep makes you want to vomit, let's all agree with the very person whose life she just saved not ten minutes before, because she has a stinking point!"

The girls all looked at each other in shock. They never knew Serena to be this serious about anything.

"Serena," muttered Raye, but Serena gave her a tearful glare and ran off to be by hserlf.

"Very well done, Mars, Luna," said Jupiter, de-transforming.

Amy and Mina nodded, then looked at the clock as it struck twelve.

"Time for bed," said Mina, and the girls started heading home for the night.

To be continued...

So horrendously sorry for the delay! Life has been crazy hectic around here, but I hope you all enjoyed the chapter. More on the way soon!
