Before I start with this fan-fiction, they are a few things that must be said before I get started. The character I am about to write with is an OC who I did not create in any way. Rather, this is an OC created by Ange Tsukino from .com. Ange had asked me to create a fan-fic based on her character, but gave me freedom to use the character as I saw fit. This is my interpretation of the character.
Also, as usual, please review! I love reading reviews! They make me feel special! ^_^

The Other Daughter of SerenityPart 1
The sun rose over the skyline of crystalline buildings as Ange Tsukino's eyes slowly opened. Slightly blinded by the light filtering through her window, she propped herself up, rubbing the sunlight out of her large, soft eyes with her soft knuckle. Her small chubby form reluctantly abandoned her bed, only to have her orange hair fall over her back. She glanced around at the crystalline walls of her palace chamber, only to abandon her room in search of her older sister.
"Chibiusa! Chibiusa!" she called, feeling her heart beat every second she didn't find her sister. Had she disappeared off the face of the Earth? Had her elder sister simply vanished completely?
Finally, she saw someone. A long straight mane of black hair passing through a doorway. With wide eyes, Ange sprinted toward the long legged figure, shouting out, "Princess Mars!"
The Princess of the Scarlet Planet glanced out at Ange, a slight smile on her lips. "Ah, Ange. What're you—"
"Have you seen my sister anywhere? Please say yes," Ange stammered.
"Small Lady?" Mars asked, her voice heavy with irritation, "Isn't she still sleeping, like every other day?"
"Well, possibly…"
"Did you check her bedroom?"
"No."
"Well then, go check there before you startle people by saying your sister just disappeared into thin air, okay? I mean, this isn't the first time you've said this, but someone who didn't hear this routine before, like your lazy mother, well, it might cause someone to actually get worried, okay?"
Ange nodded, feeling blush run up her face, as she dashed off toward her sister's room, finding her, as Mars had said, in her bed, her body sprawled out over her covers, her pajamas sloppily thrown on her body. Ange slowly drew closer to Chibiusa, crawling onto her bed, slowly poking her older sister's cheek. Finally, Chibiusa slapped Ange's hand away, opening up her eye, slowly.
"Ange? What's going on?"
"It's already morning, Chibiusa," Ange replied, a frown on her face.
"But it's only…good-night…" Chibiusa rolled over on her bed, cuddling up into a fettle position.
Ange couldn't allow her sister to remain asleep all day! She had woken up this early when the sun rose, so if she wasn't going to sleep, neither was her sister! She shook her sister awake, violently, until Chibiusa tumbled from her bed, landing heavily on her arm. Ange's eyes widened in shock as Chibiusa rose to her feet, cradling her hurt arm.
"Are you okay?" Ange stammered.
"What was that sound?" Ange glanced over her shoulder to see Princess Venus sprint into the room, her eyes wide. Venus glanced at the two of them before asking, gently, "Uh, what just happened?"
"I—" Ange didn't know what to say. She had just hurt her sister. Her arm was hurt. Ange thought she might even see some blood. She couldn't stand it. She tried to tell her that it was an accident and that it wasn't her fault, but she knew that wasn't the case. It had been her fault that her sister had fallen and hurt her arm. No one could convince her otherwise. After all, it was her fault that she had chosen to shake her sister until she fell.
But Chibiusa only smiled. "I fell from the bed. No big deal."
"Uh-huh…" Venus replied, unconvinced yet satisfied.
Ange glanced back at Chibiusa. "Are you okay, big sister?"
"Perfectly fine!" Chibiusa replied, waving her off with her good hand.
The day passed on slowly. It took a few hours before their mother awoke, although their father, King Endymion, had woken up several hours before even Ange, working away in private in order to discuss a certain matter with a Princess named Saturn, a Princess Ange had never seen before.
There came a point in the day where Ange once again lost sight of her sister, only to be told by Princess Mercury that Ange had to be with Pluto again. Who was Pluto? Where was she? Why was Ange spending more time with Pluto than she was with Ange? Why didn't Ange know who Pluto even was? And, perhaps most important, why didn't Ange have a friend like Pluto and her sister did? It wasn't fair!
"Mommy," Ange said, approaching her mother as she was preparing for a bath. Serenity staggered backward the moment her daughter appeared behind her, and, quickly retrieving the nearest towel to throw over her chest, she turned around to see Ange.
"Oh, I thought it was Rei," her mother sighed, her head slumping over.
"But mommy, I actually said 'mommy'," Ange replied, cocking her head to the side.
"Oh, that's right. You did," her mother stammered once again, "So, uh, what is it, Ange?"
"Who's Pluto?"
"Sailor Pluto? She's the guardian of Time."
"Time?"
"Yes. She guards the Gates of Time for all eternity. Why?"
"Why does Chibiusa know her?"
"Well, one time the Small Lady was playing, and accidentally found the door that lead to her domain. Chibiusa went through the threshold, and found herself in a cloudy oblivion. She was really afraid and everything. That is until she found Pluto, who brought her back to our world safe and sound. Since then, Chibiusa and Pluto have been good friends."
"I see."
"Pluto even allowed Chibiusa to go back in time before, too. Do you remember that horrible time when everything turned dark and rancid?"
"No."
"I suppose you were asleep when it happened," Serenity replied, sighing, "You must have been frozen, like ice cream! Hey, why don't you ask Ami to get you Ice Cream?"
"Okay!"
As Ange was eating her ice cream, Chibiusa emerged from an opposite doorway, a smile on her lips. Ange looked up, and smiled, despite the chocolate mustache left from her ice cream on her upper lip. "Chibiusa! Where were you?"
"Visiting Plu," Chibiusa replied.
"Pluto?"
"Uh-huh!" Chibiusa said with a nod.
"What's she like?" Ange asked, curiously.
"Oh, she's magnificent!" Chibiusa replied, a smile on her lips, "She's very tall, beautiful. Not quite like mama, but an almost foreign beauty to her. I don't know how to describe it all too well."
"Okay, I know what you mean," confidently replied the utterly confused Ange.
Chibiusa smiled softly as she said, maturely, "Aren't I good at describing things like that?"
"Yes, yes," Ange replied, still confused.
"Ange, where's mama?"
"She's taking a bath. Why?"
"I want to show her something really cool."
"Really cool?" Ange repeated, confused.
Chibiusa smiled a broad, toothy grin as she said, giddily, "I'm so excited! I can't wait to show her."
"Show her what?"
Chibiusa grinned even wider than before. "I have to show everyone at once."
"Show everyone what at once?"
Standing in the threshold to the chamber was their mother, still gathering her long hair into two buns. Her gaze was focused on Chibiusa, which set Ange off slightly. "What's up, Small Lady?"
"Mama!" Chibiusa rushed over to her mother, pulling on the end of her gown. Her mother acknowledged her daughter, going down to a single knee as Chibiusa started tugging on the long tail of hair until her mother's ear was next to Chibiusa's lips. She whispered into her mother's ear. At first, the Queen's expression was confused, then it turned into shock, then happiness, than pride, and then triumph.
"That's amazing, Chibiusa!" her mother cried, hugging her small daughter so tightly that Ange felt like her sister would snap in two. Ange felt a tickle in her sides, as though the arms she longed to embrace her with that strength were actually resting around her. Their mother rose into the air to shout, "Wait till I tell Rei! That'll keep her from talking about me behind my back!"
"That's mature," Chibiusa muttered, "Well, mama, I'd like to show everyone at once, if that's okay with you."
"Well, even better." Her mother's face softened as she said this. "Should I get everyone together?"
"Yes! Immediately!"
Within a half hour, her mother had gathered Princess Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Luna, Artemis, Diana, and even King Endymion into their living room. With a look of pride on her face, Queen Serenity took Chibiusa to the forefront of the group as she said, with a strong voice, "Everyone, Chibiusa has an important announcement to make."
Still confused, Ange looked back at Chibiusa. An important announcement? What sort of announcement? Was it something about Pluto? Was it something inside of the chamber that she had found? Was it candy? Anxiously, Ange awaited the object that Chibiusa had gathered from beyond the Time Gates.
Chibiusa reached into her pocket, and withdrew a small object. Ange couldn't see clearly what it was, but the moment she unveiled it, the others gasped in astonishment. Their father even leapt from his seat, his eyes wide in a mixture of both pride and amazement. "It's not possible!" Endymion stammered, a heavy note of pride in his voice.
What happened next was a blur for Chibiusa. Chibiusa shouted an incantation into the air, which was proceeded by a huge flash of light. Her sister's clothing dematerialized, leaving her nude body drifting in the air as clothing wrapped itself around her pudgy form. After a second of staring into the nimbus of light, her sister was standing before them, wearing garments akin to the ones the other Princesses around Ange wore. She was astonished, unable to comprehend just what was going on.
"My God…" Mars stammered, her eyes wavering in their sockets.
"Ha! Beat that, Rei!" her mother shouted in triumph, pointing at Mars.
"Uh, Usagi," Mercury stammered, "What exactly do we call Small Lady in this form, anyway? I mean, it can't be Sailor Moon because you're Sailor Moon."
"What about Sailor Chibi-Moon?" Luna suggested.
"Sounds like a good name," Endymion replied, "Small Lady, what do you think?"
"I think it's perfect!"
Everyone was so happy for Chibiusa. Everyone was looking at her, cheering her on for her triumph. Well, what about Ange? She had done so many extraordinary things. Why was it always Chibiusa who was noticed? She was important. She was special. Why was it that her elder sister was always the one who was acknowledged and appreciated, anyway? So she had a special dress now. Ange could do that. She could just dress up like that. Was it because of that light that they were all amazed, because the dress wasn't very special. Ange could make it from scratch if she wanted to. What was so special about Chibiusa that Ange couldn't replicate?
What?
