A Sailor Moon Fanfiction: The Pledge of the Sun.

Chapter 37

It was morning in the Tsukino household. The sun shone, the birds sang, and it seemed that it was going to be another quiet morning. However, a scream from a certain young girl immediately interrupted that calm atmosphere.

"AHHH! I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!"

Usagi came bursting out of the front door as she ran as fast as her feet could carry her. Luna watched from the top of the front gate as she left, shaking her head.

"Oh, brother. Being a princess hasn't changed Usagi at all," she sighed. "She's late again, just like any other morning."

Soon enough, Usagi managed to make it to the school's front gates, where Harusuke was waiting for her.

"There you are, Usagi," he said. "I was worried you wouldn't make it in time."

"You could have woke me up, Harusuke!" complained Usagi. "Then I wouldn't end up having to be late all the time!"

"If I did that, then you'd start treating me like your own personal alarm clock," said Harusuke. "And I have no time to do that."

Just then, Naru came running up, who was also running late. Usagi went up to her, and the two greeted each other with a high five.

"Morning, Usagi. Harusuke," Naru greeted.

"Morning, Naru," Usagi spoke. "Looks like you overslept too, huh?"

"Speak for yourself," laughed Naru. "For your information, I was up all night finishing my homework."

Usagi's eyes then went wide as saucers, and her odango even puffed up. "What?! We had homework?!" she squeaked.

"Of course we did. Weren't you paying attention?" spoke Naru. "We had science, math, English, social studies, and that embroidery for home ec."

"Not to mention that Japanese report too," added Harusuke. "Let me guess; you didn't do any of that, did you, Sis?"

Usagi's face went as pale as a sheet as she sank to the ground, her face kissing it.

"I'm so screwed..." she groaned.

Then at that moment, a green limousine pulled up to the gates catching the three's attention. A young man with short blonde hair in a suit stepped out of the car. He walked over the side and opened the door, and three young girls stepped out. They all wore the same uniforms as Usagi and Naru did, but just by looking at them, the teens could all see that they had a royal and regal atmosphere about them as they walked by. Harusuke and Usagi couldn't help but feel a bit impressed.

"Wow... just look at those girls!" Usagi gushed. "And that guy too! He looks like a total hunk!"

"I'll say this much; they're certainly not like any other girls I've seen around here," Harusuke spoke. "I wonder what's up with them?"

"Oh, you didn't know? Those are some of the girls who are attending the Princess Seminar at the Rose Mansion," spoke Naru.

"Hey. Now that you mention it, I know that place," said Usagi. "That's the place where Countess Rose lives."

"Countess Rose? That's the first time I've heard that name," said Harusuke. "Who is she?"

"She's a lady who recently moved from England, a very famous aristocrat," explained Naru. "Not only that, but she's an expert on manners and the social graces. Which is why wealthy parents send their daughters to her to learn how to act like a princess."
