A Sailor Moon Fanfiction: The Pledge of the Sun.

Chapter 88

Chibiusa was dreaming. It was her first day of school, standing in the classroom in front of the other students as her teacher introduced her.

"Alright, class. Pay attention. Today, I'd like to introduce you all to a new classmate as well as a new friend," said the teacher. "Say hello, our new transfer student, Usagi Tsukino. Make sure to be friendly with her as you make her feel welcome."

All of the students stared at Chibiusa, half of them amazed at how cute she looked, while others thought she looked unusual. Then a young boy with short dark brown hair laughed.

"You look so tiny!" the boy teased. "We should call her Chibiusa because she's so small!"

A girl sitting behind the boy stood up from her desk, looking very cross at that moment. She had light brown hair tied in a bun and wore an orange kimono.

"Kyuusuke! That's not funny!" the girl scolded. "Stop being so rude by calling her names! You're always doing that to people!"

But Kyuusuke continued to tease the pink ordango ignoring the girl. "Chibiusa! Chibiusa!"

Bun girl, not standing for any nonsense, then took her workbook, rolled it up, and then smacked it right upside Kyuusuke's head, making the boy yelp, surprising Chibiusa.

"Ow! OK, Momoko, I get it, already!" Kyuusuke conceded. "I'll stop teasing her!"

"Good!" Momoko said, still being stern. "Now, apologize to Usagi!"

Kyuusuke then apologized. "Sorry, Usagi," he said. "But, is it OK if we still call you Chibiusa?"

"Yeah, would that be OK with you?" asked Momoko.

Chibiusa responded with a warm smile. "Sure. I'd like that very much."

Chibiusa was fast asleep, sick in bed, while Luna and Artemis watched over her making sure that she was taken care of, just replacing the cloth on her forehead. While she was sleeping, the two cats couldn't help but notice that the girl had a big smile on her face as she slept.

"Looks like her fever seems to have gone down," said Artemis.

"And she must be having a nice dream," Luna smiled. "How adorable."

Chibiusa then woke up, her eyes slowly opening.

"Morning, sleepyhead," Artemis said. "How do you feel?"

"A little better," Chibiusa replied as she sat up. "You think that I'll be well enough to go back to school tomorrow?"

Luna couldn't help but giggle a bit. "You really must love school if you're that eager to go back," she said. "Is it fun?"

"It sure is!" Chibiusa said happily. "You know why? It's because I get to sit next to this girl who's-"

But before Chibiusa could say anything more, the door opened, and Usagi and Harusuke walked in.

"Hey there, Chibiusa!" Usage greeted. "We're back!"

"How are you feeling, kiddo?" asked Harusuke.

"I feel much better now," Chibiusa replied. "I'm as good as gold!"
