Chapter 7: A Prank and Revenge

The Silver Millennium was considered to be an era of peace. With few wars, fewer deaths, and many golden ages; it was era that had never before existed in the universe. The founder of this era, Queen Selenity, was quite proud of this peaceful time. Born with a grace that few every achieved, and with ideas that even fewer had ever conceived, she was the one that had brought about this time of laughter, joy, and, of course, peace.

So, naturally, she wasn’t too pleased when all of that ceased to exist.

Selenity glared down at the miscreant that had dared to disrupt this peace. It was hard to believe that one person could wish to upt upt the peace, but it was even more difficult to believe that the person was her daughter.

From the future.

Usagi Serenity Tsukino looked at her mother from the past and sighed. Sure, she had been given permission to come back to this time, but maybe she should have warned her mother first. After all, she didn’t look very happy.

“Can’t you go anywhere else to do this?”

Usagi shook her head. “I’m y, my, mother, but it has to be done here. I couldn’t think of anything else to do to make my plan work.”

Selenity sighed, and looked over at the bound and gagged person next to her daughter. He looked quite unhappy, and, oddly enough, he looked almost exactly like Prince Endymion. Then again, hadn’t her daughter said something about this being the future version of him?

Hmm....He couldn’t be, but...if he was...then he was more vain then he used to be.

“I suppose I could let you do it here, but could you do it quickly? I have to meet an ambassador in an hour.” said Selenity, giving in. It was much easier this way. Besides, after the way this version of Endymion had treated her daughter at the ball the other night, this would be a good way to get revenge in her own way. Without anyone else knowing that she was out to get even. After all, a queen didn’t have vengeful thoughts.

Usagi grinned, and bowed slightly, still in her senshi uniform. “Yes, of course. It shouldn’t even take me that long. Just tell me when you’re ready,” she said, looking over at the gagged Mamoru. She had told him that she would undo the spell when they got here, and she had, but when he had leapt at her with the intent of killing her, well...she had decided that restraining him the old-fashioned way was better.

Selenity nodded, and looked at all three of her visitors. What a strange request from her future daughter, but then again, it probably made sense in their time. Selenity wondered if she would ever go to the extreme that her daughter was to get revenge. Hmm....Well, if her husband had done what that man had done, then she might have thought about it. Twice.

“I’m ready when you are ready,” she said, getting up from her throne, and walking gracefully down to where the three were standing.

Usagi smiled and looked over at Seiya, who smiled nervously back, unsure if the plan would actually work.

“Hai, I’m ready to do it now. I just have to remove his restraints though,” she said. Usagi turned to the side and looked at Mamoru. Hmm...He looked ready to kill. He always did though; no wonder he had become a model.

“Alright, Mamo-baka. I’m going to take these off. Now, don’t do anything rash until I tell you what’s going on,” she said. And with that, she briefly raised her arm, and the restraints fell to the floor. Usagi clapped herself on the back. She had to thank Rei for teaching her that trick. It had turned out to be so useful.

Mamoru straightened and brushed himself off. Stupid U. Ha. Had to restrain him to the point of suffocation. He wondered why they were here. It was odd that she would choose to get even by going to the Silver Millennium. What could she possibly do here that would top his prank? He looked at her curiously, silently demanding an answer, but growled when he only got a very smug smile in response.

“So, what are you going to do to me?” he growled, body tensed for any unexpected attack.

“You’ll see,” said Usagi, and then, reaching into her subspace pocket, brought out her Luna Pen.

Mamoru raised an eyebrow at that, suddenly feeling his arrogance return. She was going to get even with that? Yeah, right. He snorted. “You’re going to get even by making me wear ridiculous looking clothes? Oh, I’m so scared,” he said, in a sarcastic voice.

Usagi smiled, and held the pen above her head. “Nope. That would be silly. Actually, I had something else in mind, but I’ll do it later. Right now, I have something else to do.”

Mamoru rolled his eyes. “What, you’re going to get yourself a better uniform?” he asked, crossing his arms, as he struck an arrogant I’m-better-than-you-so-get-over-it pose.

“Nope,” said Usagi. “I’m going to get married.” And without another word she waved the pen and shouted “DISGUISE POWER TURN ME INTO A LOVELY BRIDE!!!”

Mamoru’s jaw dropped as Usagi disappeared, and reappeared a few seconds later in a wedding dress that looked as if it had come directly off a designer rack. He took a few seconds to get his thoughts together. Usagi said she was going to torture him later, which was sort of good and sort of bad. She also said she was getting married, which, was probably bad.

“Who are you getting married to?” he asked, not really wanting to know.

Usagi shrugged, and pushed her veil up over her forehead. “Seiya.”

Okay, that was definitely bad.

“But, you can’t We’re engaged Besides, you’ve never even dated the guy...er...girl ” he shouted, feeling hurt that she would actually marry someone else. Someone else that wasn’t him.

Usagi tilted her head to the side and thought it over. Well, she appeared to anyway. “True, but he’s also never pulled a prank on me, and I think I’d rather be with someone like that. Now, be quiet Mamoru. I’m going to get married, and I can’t if you continue making all that noise.”

She turned away, and, taking Seiya’s arm moved to stand in front of Selenity. Mamoru followed, and, in complete shock, stood behind them.

“Are you ready?” asked Selenity, looking at each of them in turn. Both Usagi and Seiya nodded their heads and turned to face each other.

“Well, then. Let’s get started.” she said, motioning for a few people in the back to come forward.

Mamoru, his eyes only on Usagi, missed the gesture, but started in shock, when two sets of arms gripped him firmly and forced him to stay still. He looked around and noticed, to his surprise, that Sailor Pluto was holding his right arm, and some person who resembled both Selenity and Serenity was holding his left. He looked curiously at Usagi.

She smiled and gestured at the two. “Pluto said she wouldn’t dream of missing my wedding day, and the other person, is well...my...my mother’s sister,” she said quickly, glancing at Selenity to make sure that she agreed.

Mamoru blinked in surprise. Selenity had a sister? Since when did that happen? He looked suspiciously at the queen, but looked back down when she nodded in confirmation. Okay, maybe he had forgotten more than he thought.

“Alright,” said Selenity. “Let’s perform the ceremony so that everything can get back to normal.

Mamoru gritted his teeth and tried to move forward, but was restrained by Selenity’s friends. This wasn’t fair. She should be getting married to me

“Alright then. Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to...”

Mamoru growled as Selenity performed the ceremony. Her words seem to drone on and on, but even though her words seemed to go on forever, he knew the ceremony was happening quickly.

“Do you, Seiya take...” said Selenity, looking at Seiya, dressed in his normal clothes, as she spoke the vows.

He tried to get loose, to stop it, but he couldn’t.

“And do you, Usagi take...for richer or poorer...” she said, looking at Usagi, who looked radiant in her wedding dress.

Stop!! Mamoru wanted to shout. Don’t!! He couldn’t believe that she would do this. To him. They were supposed to be together. She couldn’t. He...

“If there is anyone today who feels that these two should not be married speak now...”

Loved her. He couldn’t let her do this.

“Or forever hold your peace...”

He couldn’t. He loved her. He loved her. He...

“STOP!!”

Selenity stopped and looked at Mamoru, as did everyone else. “Did you say something?” she asked, raising her eyebrow in a subtle display of displeasure.

“Yes!” said Mamoru, and shouldering his way out of the women’s grasp, approached Usagi.

“Yes. I did.” He grabbed Usagi’s hands. “I love you, and I’m sorry for what I did. Please don’t marry him. Please. You two don’t belong together. We do, and I swear I won’t turn your hair green again, just please...please don’t marry him,” he pleaded, getting down on his knees in his desperation.

Usagi raised her eyebrow as she considered it. “Well...” She looked down at the pleading Mamoru, and then over at Seiya. Hmm...

“I would, but I don’t want to waste Mother’s time. I came back here to get married, and I think she will extremely mad if I don’t.”

Mamoru thought that over. She said she was going to get married. That was bad. But, she had said she wouldn’t get married if, by doing so, she wasn’t wasting Selenity’s time. Hmm...
It seemed that the only way she wouldn’t get married was if she...

“Marry me,” hid, id, the idea coming to him in a flash.

Usagi eyed him cautiously. “What?”

“Marry me,” he repeated. “Look, I know and you know that you can’t get married to wonder boy over here,” he said, ignoring Seiya’s scowl. “So, marry me. We’ve been engaged for a year now, so it’s not like we don’t know each other.”

Usagi crossed her eyes and thought it over. “Well...”

“Please,” he said, giving her the adorable puppy dog look.

She caved. She couldn’t help it.

“Okay.”

Selenity eyed them both. “Are you sure about this?” she asked, wondering if maybe she should have stayed in bed today.

“Yes,” said Usagi, and, taking Mamoru’s arm, stood in front of her mother.

“Okay. But this time, I’ll just do the short version. Do you, Mamoru take this...”

The ceremony, thankfully, was short and sweet, and a few minutes later Usagi and Mamoru were husband and wife. It wasn’t the most ideal way for Usagi to get married, but it was the way for her to kill two birds with one stone. She got her revenge, in a very matrimonial way, AND she got married.

She was a genius.

After the ceremony, brief hugs from every scout in the place, a quick goodbye to the mysterious friend of Pluto’s, and a brief reception, Usagi, Mamoru, and Seiya found themselves outside the Lunar Palace.

“So,” said Mamoru. “We’re married.”

“Yep,” said the new Mrs. Chiba. “We are.”

“I can’t believe we finally did it,” he said, sitting on a nearby bench.

“ I can. It took a lot of work to get us to this point,” said Usagi, changing back into her normal outfit.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, first I had to change your personality a little bit. You know, making you more vain, changing your career, all that good stuff,” said Usagi, smirking as she did so.

Mamoru’s jaw dropped, again, in complete shock. She what?

“You what ?”

“I possessed you. Changed you around a little bit. You would have never proposed to me otherwise. But, don’t worry, you’re back to your normal self now.”

“You did that?”

“Yep.”

“Wait. Was this your prank? Your way to get even with me?” he asked, his eyes narrowed as she glared at his trickster of a wife. Damn, she was going to pay.

“Nope. That was my way of having fun,” said Usagi, grinning as she looked at her royally pissed off husband.

Mamoru blinked, confused. “Wait, if that was your way of having fun, then what was your prank?” he asked, completely dumbfounded.

“Oh,” said Usagi, taking both men’s arms in hers. “Pretending to get married to Seiya, of course. I think you were in too much shock to realize that though.”

“You mean you were just kidding ?”

“Yep! ”

“That’s not fair. I could have waited another year! I didn’t want to get married this soon! ”

“Too bad,” said Usagi, leading both men towards the transport point. Men, they could be such babies. So what if she had tricked him. He had fallen for it, after all.

“I want an annulment!”

She rolled her eyes. Right, sure he did.

“I’m serious ! You said that we would get married around Christmas, not six months before it I wanted to have a bachelor party! This isn’t fair !”

Both Seiya and Usagi sighed as they dragged him along. He’d calm down, eventually, but it would take awhile.

“I’ll get even with you for this Usagi! You don’t deprive a man of his bachelor party! Just you wait! I’ll pull a prank that will be ten times as good as this one!!" yelled Mamoru.

It wasn't fair! She had been possessing him for who knows how long, making him act completely stupid, and then she had pulled a prank that had made him get married before he was supposed to

“Yes, it is. This is what you get for turning my hair green, and you know it,” said Usagi. “Now, shut up, we have to get home.”

Of course, he didn’t. He continued to yell and scream until after Pluto arrived to take them home. And he only quit when Pluto hit him upside the head with her staff, and knocked him completely out. But, hey, it worked. And thankfully Seiya and Usagi had a peaceful trip back to the future, where they dreaded telling the scouts that Usagi had already gotten married.

Without them.

Oh well, Usagi musat lat least she would get to gloat for a little while before they killed her.

She guessed some things weren’t meant to last. And apparently her life wasn’t one of them.

End of Chapter 7! Please review!
