Aresia says "At any rate.... wait..."

Princess Serenity glances sidelong at Rose, quirking a brow. "Goodness, /Lady/ Jupiter," She begins, teasing, "What would Lord Kunzite think if he saw you now? Oh... I suppose we'll find out in a moment... Good evening!" She calls, waving in the direction Rose is /not/ facing.

Serenity, Aresia and Rose are standing under a tree and talking.

Rose, much to her chagrin, immediately whirls the direction Serenity is pointing. "What? Whe--oh." Her blush resurfaces. "That's not fair."

Princess_Serenity walks slowly, admiring the scenery as she enters the garden.

Aresia . o O ( That's wierd... For a moment I felt.. I still feel... that's not... THAT WHICH IS! )
Aresia whirls, and STARES-- and start a high-speed triple-take.
Aresia says "Um... Rose? You might want to take a look at this..."

Princess_Serenity stops all of sudden and blinks a few time as she looks over to a group of people.

Aresia points to the other end of the Garden.

Rose doesn't move. "I am NOT falling for that again, Aresia."

Aresia says "Rose, I'm serious."

Rose shakes her head, hair flying. "Nuh-/uh/, Aresia."

Aresia says "ROSE, by Heaven and Earth, LOOK!"

Princess Serenity stops in her giggling at Rose to frown with faint confusion at Aresia's comment. She "Hmms?" faintly, turning toe to look and... Blink.

Princess_Serenity . o O ( Nah.. must be seeing things... must be my imagination. )

Rose throws her arms in the air, turning around. "Oh, in the name of all that's --" She breaks off, then reaches out to tug at the dress of the Serenity next to her. "Uhm..."

Aresia . o O ( And they BOTH feel right.... what is going ON?
Aresia says "I TRIED to tell you..."

Princess_Serenity walks over to the group slowly, a confused look on her face as she examines her look alike more carefully.

Aresia walks up to one Serenity, stares closely, the repeats with the other. And sits, with a SERIOUS case of really BIG Boggling eyes.

Princess Serenity just blinks, several times... Her eyes are playing tricks on her, that's all...

Aresia . o O ( Same aura. SAme feeling. What has Selenity been hiding from us? )
Aresia says "I didn't know she had twins..."

Princess_Serenity stops a few feets away from her look alike and frowns slightly as she tries to find some flaw or a trick. She turns toward Aresia and Rose. "What's going? Who is this imposter?"

Aresia says "Wiat a minute... she CAN'T have twins?"
Aresia says "Um... as far as I can sense... neither of you."

Princess Serenity is still blinking at... the... imposter? "Neither did I..." She breathes, blinking. "...Kesila, is that you?" She frowns faintly, fists resting on hips. "That's not very funny, /Lady Venus/." Hmph.

Aresia . o O ( I knew I felt SOMETHING odd today... but THIS... )
Aresia says "It's NOT Kesila... neither of you... my head hurts."

Rose splutters into laughter. "I didn't know Master Payne could do Lunarian dresses -- but that's a /good/ one."

Aresia . o O ( Why is it that when something THIS wierd happens to me Selenity-sama is NEVER around? )

Princess Serenity takes a few steps toward... Princess Serenity and blinks more, leaning in to peer more closely. "It's /not/ Kesila..." She echoes Aresia... And then her face lights up, blue eyes shining even brighter. "A /sister/!" Hands clap together as she throws her arms around the other Princess, squeezing as tight as possible. "Oh, I never knew!"

Aresia says "It's not a sister either..."

Princess_Serenity blinks a few time as she's getting more confused, thinking this is a dream or a joke someone is pulling on her.

Aresia says "At least I don't think so... only one way to be sure..."

Princess_Serenity pulls back from the embrace from.. herself.. and blinks. "You're real.. but how can that be.. you're me.. I mean I'm me.. but you're also me..."

Princess Serenity releasses her hold on the other girls and turns around, frowning confusedly at Aresia. "It's not?" She's not pouting.. Well, not really. "Then..It's... A girl who looks exactly like me, dresses exactly like me, and sounds exactly like me?" Blink blink. She turns and peers at her. "What is your name?" She asks softly.

Aresia . o O ( I can only assume some sort of sorcerous clone. IF that's the case, it's easy enough to dispell. )
Aresia says "Um... I have an idea."

Princess_Serenity blinks a few time looking in Aresia's direction then at her image. "I am princess Serenity of course.. and whom might you be?"
Princess_Serenity turns her head to look and listen more carefully to Aresia, looking from time to time at her double.

Rose quirks an eyebrow. "You don't know?"

Aresia surreptitiously prepares a pair of OFuda discs, if they become needed...

Princess Serenity's brow creases as that confused frown darkens. "Oh, don't be silly." She smiles suddenly, correcting the other girl, "/I/ am Princess Serenity."

Rose looks curiously at Aresia. "What're those?"

Payne comes from the reception area.
Payne has arrived.

Ruby comes from the reception area.
Ruby has arrived.

Aresia says "The answer to this puzzle, is what they are!"

Ruby walks in happaly hainging off of her Payne-kun's arm

Princess_Serenity turns to her 'twin' and smiles shaking her head slowly. "I'm afraid you're mistaken... *I* am the one and only Princess Serenity..." She giggles softly and continues, "I should know, I have been for many years now."

Rose rolls her eyes. "Of /course/ they are, Aresia."

Payne leads the way, yet, he stops in astonishement, gazing at two blonde ladies, looking so identical...and his facial expression becomes even more confused once he overhears a bit of the talk.

What Payne and Ruby see, are a bunch of princesses standing under a tree - with Serenity being represented in the company twice.

Aresia raises her hand, holding two inscribed copper discs. "That which is true will be, that which is not true will be not! AKYURO TAISAN!" She hurls the discs-- which fly almost (ALMOST?) Magically to two twinned foreheads-- both hitting with considerable force-- but, oddly, no other effect...

Rose wiggles her fingers merrily. "Hihi, Master Payne! I didn't know you could make Lunarian style clothes, too!" She points to one of the Princesses Serenity. "That's a /great/ representation!"

Ruby walks along beside him "oh? whats wrong hu........oh hello Lady rose, Laby Rei and errr twins, hi ya"

Aresia stares. "But... but one of them shuld have been... that means they both are..."

Princess Serenity shakes her head emphatically at her mirror-image and points a thumb at her own chest. "No... /I/ am Princess Serenity..." She pauses and turns to the others, still frowning in confusion. "Aren't I?" She asks of Rose and Aresia... though... /Ow/. Serenity stumbles as the discs hit, backpeddling against that tree and staring blankly at Aresia.

Payne winces. Having once witnessed such an attack, he still hasn't got used to it. His differently coloured eyes shift to Rose and he replies in a distinctly puzzled voice "I haven't designed that lady's dress, if you ask me..."

Princess_Serenity takes a step back at the hit, regaining her balance seconds later and blinks a few time as she looks at Aresia. "Why did you do that?" She rubs her forehead slowly.

Ruby wincises at the attack but her eyes taking a critical look at the dresses "no laby Rose, thats not even Payne-kuns style, way to plane, and not enough of a slit

Aresia says "But... one should have been dispelles, or at least... PLease. Both of you here in fromt of me."

Princess Serenity narrows her eyes slightly -- though only slightly, and when she isn't looking -- at Aresia, before glancing back to her.. other self. "I apologize for Honored Mars' actions." She walks back over to the /other/ Princess Serenity and flashes as charming a smile as she can manage. "I've always wanted a sister." That really /is/ the only explaination.... She sighs in exasperation and spins around on her heel, stopping in front of Aresia.

Payne finally ventures a remark, coming over to Rose "You haven't said that your princess has a twin"

Ruby mutters to Payne, "who are thm twdns?"

Aresia approaches the "twins". "Excuse me-- I must be certain---" and reaches out with both hands, touching each forehead. Closing her eyes, she concentrates-- and then leaps back, yelling at the top of her lungs, "NANI YO?????"

Rose clears her throat. "I had no idea, Master Payne. Her Highness keeps secrets from even us, I suppose. Though..." Her eyes widen, then she laughs delightedly. "Maybe /we/ all have twins, too, since obviously four of us wouldn't be enough for two..."

Princess_Serenity glances at her mirror image and says, "... I've always wanted one too... but we can't be.. I mean mother would have told me.. you..." She shakes her head slowly, getting more confused as she tries to sort this out, running every possible concept whtiin her mind. She turns to look at Rose and Aresia and says, "You both know who I am.. right? I mean you both know that I am Serenity, no?"

Aresia says "Perfect.. perfect synch... impossible..."

Payne mutters to Ruby, "Thsk chnnkt sgst mft thdff princesses. Mgnnpps. Tglk about too mkch knhmltm."

Aresia is, apparently, almost panicky. "They-- they BOTH are Serenity... they are both the same... it's... how can this be?"

Rose puts her hands on her hips, looking at the Second Serenity. "I haven't a clue. You /look/ like her, but so does she."

Zoisite comes from the reception area.
Zoisite has arrived.

Ruby blinks "well I guess we should be polight and all to the then"

Zoisite glides in, floating about eight feet off the ground and backwards, oddly enough. He was peering in tree branches for something, then flips around to peer at the people making noise upon the ground. Spotting Rose, he grins brightly and blinks out of sight, reappearing just behind and to the left of Rose, scattering sakura petals, as usual. "Evening M'la.... um... wha?" The last is in reaction to seeing /two/ Serenitys.

Tanis mutters to Ruby, "ss long hs fts not ther Kmksdf pghskn grumble "

Aresia sits, confused as all hell. "Just when I thought things were getting sane..."

Ruby mutters to herself, "gs long gs hts nmt thfs Knpskd pfgsnn grumble "

To occupied with her own thoughts Ruby dosent see Zoisite at first and blinks at Payne "err hun what are you bowing for.....OH!!! Prince Zoisite" she then bows deeply

Princess_Serenity moves closer to Aresia. "But it can't be.. I mean we can't really be the same person... or can we..." She turns and looks at 'herself'. "Could we?"

Payne quirks an eyebrow at floating Zoisite, starting to bow hastily, but then dropping all manners as he stares intently at the scene, displaying before him.

Princess Serenity pats the other Princess' shoulder gently. "I bet we /are/ sisters..." Though she can't think of any way to explain that... She glances at Zoisite and smiles sweetly. "Good evening." Things are perfectly normal, really.

Aresia says "You... you both have the same aura, no diference... I don't understand... this isn't possible..."

Zoisite looks from one blond to the other in utter and total confusion. He clings to Rose's shoulder gently with one hand, rubbing his eyes with the other. "I'm not seeing this, am I?"

Aresia . o O ( I only wonder what Selenity-sama will say about this... )

Princess_Serenity smiles warmly and nods. "Only logical reasoning.... though wished we had known... I mean think of all the fun we could have had since we look so much alike." She giggles and looks over to Zoisite.

After her broad smile in greeting to Zoisite, Rose shrugs. "I haven't a clue. I think it's all my fault, really -- my mother always told me that sleeping in trees would cause strange dreams."

Aresia says "You aren't sisters... sisters have different aura... your auras are IDENTICAL... you're BOTH Serenity, Daughter of Selenity, heir to the Silver Millenium. And I have a headache."

Rose clears her throat and waves a hand in the air querelously. "Uhm, Aresia? I always thought you were a little off, but, uhm, now I know you're crazy."

Princess_Serenity looks at Aresia. "Oh come now.. they can't be two of us unless we're sisters or even better yet twins!

Ruby perks up "oh Lady Rei you know what I do when my Payne-kun gets a headake I get a BIG boul of...." she stops as Payne no doubt giver her a "stop it" look

Aresia says "I KNOW that. But... Gomen ne. I'm not feeling well."

Aresia says "You don't understand..."

Princess_Serenity moves over to Aresia, putting her hand on her shoulder. "Maybe you should rest... maybe then you can figure this all out... though us being sister is the only logical answer.. no?"

Ruby looks innocent, "Err, what don't I understand?"

Aresia says "That's the problem. Sisters don't have the same aura.. your auras are IDENTICAL. You are BOTH the same person. My head hurts."

Princess_Serenity frowns and looks at Aresia. "Well would twin have the same aura? Or..." She stops and looks at her otherself and back at Aresia, almost whispering, "or maybe she's a clone?"

Aresia says "Oh, That which IS... suppose the rest of us double? Two Me? two Roses? . o O (GACK!) Two... two SELENITY-SAMA?"

Payne gives another warning glance to Ruby, hoping that his model would know better than to argue with Princess of Mars...

Rose makes a face. "Two of me might be fun. Two of /you/, though, Aresia..." She shakes her head. "Ew."

Kako na'Sadame comes from the reception area.
Kako na'Sadame has arrived.
