Happy?! ^.^ LoL, just kidding). E-mail me at SetsunaPuu21@cs.com and my writing partner at furore@sailormoonfan.com with feedback. *whispers to minna so Chris can’t hear* It’s his first fic, so be nice! Anywho, I think that we should get on with the story, ne? Disclaimer: I don’t own Sailor Moon in any way, shape, or form. Unless you count all of my merchandise, but... ^_~ Title: Past Lives Authors: JupiterHalo and Chris C. Part: 1/? Rating: PG Date completed: June 10, 2001 ***** means change of scene from story to the Moon Kingdom and vice versa @~~~~~~ means change of scene in the story The Duke stormed around the room. “I’ve HAD it with your rotten little brat, Serenity!” he finally yelled. Serenity, Queen of the Silver Millennium, just glared at him like he was an insect. “Please, Duke Hiro, try to calm down.” She got up and went towards him. “Now, I’m sure Serenity didn’t mean to break the vase. It was an accident!” The Dukes’ face turned purple. “That vase was PRICELESS, dammit!” Serenity sighed and muttered under her breath, “Men. And they say women only care about objects.” She shook her head. “Then, I’ll buy you a new one.” “Don’t even bother with that, Serenity! You and your little brat will pay for this!” And with that, the Duke stormed out of the room. (A.N. yelling a few words that would not be suitable for this fanfic). Serenity sighed, and turned to go sit back down where she was working on a plan to try and get the Earth to join the Silver Millennium. As soon as she sat down, her daughter, Princess Serenity, ran to her and put her head on her mother’s lap. “I’m sorry Mommy,” Serena cried. “I-I didn’t mean to run into the vase!” Serenity smiled down at her daughter and began hugging her. “Ssh, honey, it was an accident...” She began stroking Serena’s hair. “It’s going to be okay.” Serena just cried harder. “But... but Duke Hiro’s going to kill me when he sees me! He said so himself!” She put her head back on her mother’s shoulder. “But, all the other kids make fun of me! They say I’m stupid and ugly, and that I’m klutzy!” Serenity smiled. “Tell me, Serena. Have I ever told you about what your name means?” “It means serene and graceful.” Came the muffled reply. “Hmm. That’s true.” “And I’m not like that at all!” Serenity sat her daughter down on her lap. “Well, I’m going to tell you a story now.” Serena smiled at that; she loved to hear new stories. “This story is about who you and I were named after.” Serena giggled and wiggled in her mother’s lap. “Was she pretty, Mommy?” Serenity nodded. “She was my aunt, my mother’s sister. And she was very beautiful. So, my mother was her baby sister, and my aunt loved her very much.” *********************************************************************** “Uh.. Serenity, is this such a good idea?” Thomas asked her as Hatsue, Serenity’s little sister, stormed around the palace garden looking for her. “Shh!” Serenity whispered, and put one finger to his lips for emphasis. She then peeked over the edge of the rose bush, then ducked her head back down. “Are you sure she won’t find you?” Thomas carefully shifted his weight, trying to avoid the thorns that stuck out of the roses like spears. “Yes, Hatsue doesn’t like flowers, and won’t go near them.” Serenity peeked over one more time, then got up quickly. “She’s gone, now let’s hurry!” She started to run, with Thomas trying to catch up. “Hey, Serenity! Where are you going?” “To the market place!” she called back over her shoulder. Thomas sighed. “That girl’s going to be the end of me.” Then he ran to catch up. @~~~~~~~~ His name was Kazahiko Endymion, but he preferred to be called Endymion, and Endy to his friends. He hung his head over the lake in exhaustion, having been out all night drinking. ‘My head hurts like hell...’ he groaned aloud and splashed some cold water onto his face. He heard someone come up behind him. “Out a bit late last night, were we?” Shuten laughed and sat down next to Endymion. “Shut up,” Endymion growled, and splashed some more cold water onto his face. Shuten only laughed. “I have an assignment for you, Kazahiko. You had better not screw up this time, because the Evil One isn’t very happy with your slacking off on the job.” Endymion jumped up, ignoring the splitting headache that movement caused him, and grabbed Shuten by his shirt collar. “Are you saying that I’m lazy? I work harder than any of you!” He leaned closer to his prisoner. “And, if you think otherwise, you can just say it to my face.” “Calm down, Kazahiko. I told you I’m giving you one more chance.” Endymion reluctantly released him, hatred blazing in his eyes. “Your assignment is to kidnap the Princess of the Moon Kingdom and bring her here to the Dark Realm. No one else will do it. And, you can get on the good side of the Evil One by doing this.” Endymion narrowed his eyes. “What’s the catch?” “There is none,” Shuten replied. “Is that fair?” Endymion nodded his head after a moment of thinking. “Yeah, that’s fair. What’s this princess’ name, anyway?” “Serenity.” Well, my chapter is done. *pokes Chris* He’ll try to get his part out soon, right? *Chris nods, afraid for his life* Great! As always, e-mail me at setsunapuu21@cs.com because e-mail is a girl’s best friend. ^.^ Sayonara for now! Love always, ~JupiterHalo
