Since no one really reads these author's notes I see no point in having them.

Disclamir: Sailor Moon is not mine.


" Lita!" the voice rang through the morning light. Maids folding bedclothes and setting tables looked up from their work. Butlers bringing in trays and setting out flowers looked up from their work to meet the gaze of the maids before shoulders were shrugged.
Lady Margret stomped through the carpted hall past high windows with light shining through them. Her spiced gray hair was pulled back into a tight bun, so normally neat was now allowing loose pieces to fly around her face.
She clutched her black book in her white knuckled fist the other hand lifting her blue skirt.
" Princess Makoto! Where are you?!" The women screamed through the hall ways.
Maids popped their heads out of open doorways too see the lady running through the halls. They giggled and disappered into the empty rooms.
Lady Margret stopped and pushed back a stray strand of hair, trying to compose her emotions.
" Princess Makoto!!!!" She screamed loudly looking up at the ceiling screwing her face up and shuting her eyes.

The brezze blew past the girl running through the fields, her brown hair like a cloak floating behind her. The grass was wet with morning dew that shone in the bright light. Sparkling drops covered her bare feet, legs clad in loose black pants.
Lita, Princess Makoto of Jupiter ran past the dark trees on the edge of the castle grounds. She was breathing hard and a cramp was forming in her side yet Lita ran on.
It had been 9 years since Ken had left and many things had changed in both her and around her. She had seen the death of her parents when she was 13 and now was left alone to run her own kingdom. She had seen suitors and wars come and go like a flash of light on a rain drop. She had seen it all and would face any challenge that faced her.
With a light foot, Lita jumped from the ground and scaled the garden wall, landing on her feet inside the garden.

" Please tell her higness that I request her pressence immeaditly when she gets in," Lady Margret said sternly to the maid in front of her.
The girl nodded then broke into a smile and looked past Lady Margret.
The Lady turned around a puzzled look on her face to see a dirt stained and sweaty Princess of Jupiter.
" Never mind Geniveve, you are dismissed," Lady Margret said waving the maid away.
The girl nodded and curstied beofre hurrying away laughing softly to herself.
" Hi Margret, did I miss anything?" Lita asked stepping past the womyn and walking over to the breakfast table.
" Where have you been? And why do you smell like the barn?" Lady Margret asked wrinkling her nose distastefully.
Lita picked up a roll and took a bite of it. " I went running in the woods, I needed some air," she replied, her mouth full.
" Quite," Lady Margret said raising herself a little bit. " While I've been looking for you all morning. You have an appoitment with the King of Pluto this morning and after the that your lessons with Princess Merecury on her planet. After your lessons you need to go to Neptune and meet with the King there. Of course you also need to report to the Moon Kingdom to help in greeting Princess Kaguya and her royal guard," Margret said shifting through the pages on her book.

Lita sighed and swallowed her bite of roll.

" But first you'll need a bath and a proper breakfast," Lady Margret said closing her book and grabbing Lita's arm.
" Hey!" Lita yelled startled as she was pulled out of the room.

" One, Two, Three. One, Two, Three. Good posture Mercury, Jupiter please take that glum expression on your face and try to look happy."
Lita straightned up and plastered a smile on her face. Ami smiled and glided past Jupiter in the arms of her partner.
The dance master clapped his hands, instanly the music stopped and Lita were taken away from the ballroom, transported back to the small music room. Their partners disappering along with the vision.
" Jupiter, you need to look cheerful when you dance. You want your partner to feel that you wanted him to dance with you. Your look will only make him think the opposite of such emotions," The dancing master sighed moping off his sweating forehead with a heavily perfumed handkerchief.
Lita nodded and lifted her arms again, pretending to be in the arms of her partner.
" No, no more Miss Jupiter, your lesson is over for today, please practice what I have taught you. I'll see you both tomarrow," he said nodding to the girls and beckoning his pianoist who scrambled up grabbing the music notes and following after the pompus over dressed dancing master.

Lita allowed her arms to drop to her side and turned to Ami.
" I really don't like that man," she growled looking at his disappering form.
" You should not be so diffucult to him, Lita. Remember were not little kids any more. We need to focus on the real issues of marriage and proper court etequite," Ami replied smiling at Lita.
" I'll focus on that when the time comes, right now I just want to have fun and get some air," Lita replied walking over to the french doors and opening them wide so the white lacy curtins blew in the wind that gusted through.
" Smell those roses, lets go outside and visit the gardens," Lita said turning to Ami.
" I don't know, we should be heading over to Mars for training. You know Luna and Artimes will be mad if were late," Ami replied skeptically.
" Oh come on, we still have time. Anyway's Serena is always later then us," Lita replied wlking out the doors.
Ami sighed and picked up her white skirt following Lita out the doors.

Princess Mars sat tapping her foot impatiently, she looked all around her.
" Where are they?" Rei growled crossing her arms over her fuku and sitting on the wooden block.

Princess Serenity smiled and clapped her hands happily.
" Oh Endymion! That was wonderful!" Serena said jumping up and down a bit.
Prince Endymion turned and smiled at his princess before he lunged at Kunzite with his sword. Farther away Nephrite was battling Zoiciste while Jadite lounged agaisn't his sword lazily watching the two.


" So Ami, how is your romance with Greg?" Lita asked stepping over the green grass, her slippers in one hand.
Ami blushed and looked down. " Oh it is fine," Ami replied, stutterling slightly.
" Ohhhh romance," Lita giggled.
" Lita, of course not," Ami gasped looking up, her cheeks on fire.
" Your blushing Ami," Lita replied haughtily.
Ami blushed redder and looked down again.

' Most girls are destined to have one great love in their life. Serena had Darien, Jupiter has Nephlite, Mars has Yuchiro, and Mercury has Greg. But who do I have? No one. I am the Senshi of love and beauty yet can no one find it in their heart to love me?'

Mina looke up from her diary and out to the balconey. The moons of Venus shone brightly over the castle. A little to brightly for Mina's glum mood, she looked down at the curvy writing that proclamied her loneliness and longing and slammed the book in fustaration. Mina got up from her desk and walked out onto the balconey, a slight brezze ruffled her hair blowing a few stray strands into Mina's face. Growling in fustaration she pushed the strands behind her ears and leaned onto the rail.
" I am Minako Anio, Princess of Venus and the goddess of love, yet where is my one great love?" Mina muttred to herself.
Deep down Mina knew it was quite silly to focus your life on finding love but she was Princess Venus after all and all her life she had been rasied on the aspects of love and all the wonder and beauty it was supposed to have within it. Mina just sighed and leaned her head on her arms.



After a long walk through the gardens, at which Mercury had confessed her kissing Zoiciste in the library. The two had parted ways with the realazation that they had missed training but not leaving the time to report to Mars.
Lita walked off the transporter onto the Moon. She had rushed back to her home to dress and freshen up for the formal visit of Princess Kangyua and her royal guard.

In the distance Serena was thinking dreamily of Endymion while Rei fumed and growled next to her. Ami was deep in the depths of her book when Lita jogged up waving happily.
" Fine time you show up, You didn't show up for training. Without a bit of reason, I waited a full hour for anyone to show up, yet no one does," Rei growled.
" Wait, no one came to training?" Lita asked stepping back a little from the firey Rei.
They both looked at Serena who was off in a dreamworld.
" Uhh, I can understand," Lita said smiling embaressedly.
" Hey where's Venus?" Ami asked looking up from her book.
The 4 girls looked around them but they did not see the blond princess of love.
" You know, I don't know," Lita replied.
" She didn't come to training either," Rei growled.
Lita sighed while Ami went back to reading. Serena continued to float on the clouds.

A little while later The Princess of the Moon Serenity or Serena has everyone called her stood beside her mother a look of boredom playing across her face. Behind her stood the Princess of the inner planets also known as her protectors. They were all there except for Venus who had still not shown up.
A slight brezze blew upon them bringing the scent of flowers that covered the moon kingdom and the feeling of cold hatred watching them from above. Mars shivered at this but brushed it off as the teleportation pad lite up with 4 figures, 3 men and a women. Queen Serenity stepped forward to greet these new comers with all the warmth and genorasity she could bring.
" Welcome to my Kingdom, you must be the princess of fragrent olives, Kangyu," Queen Serenity said curtsying to a beautiful women dressed in red.
" We are glad you invited us, I must introduce you to my royal guards." Kangyu waved a hand at the three men standing behind her at slight attention. They where studying the girls in front of them but they snapped to attention when their Princess signaled for them.
The first of the men stepped forward, he had long black hair tied back and dark peircing eyes.
" I am Seyia Kou or Sailor Star Fighter, I am pleased to meet you ladies," Seyia said with an agravated bow and a smirk on his face.
Serena and Rei shot each other looks but manged to keep their faces straight.
The tallest of the four stepped forward and gave them a rather slight bow.
" I am Takki Kou, Sailor Star Maker, I am pleased to make your accuantice ladies."
Ami blushed as the taller man caught her eye and held it for longer then was proper, she was finally forced to tear her gaze away and stare at the ground, her cheecks crimson red.
The third man steeped forward, he had silver hair and a rather bored expression on his face.
" I am Yaten Kou, Sailor Star Healer." With that Yaten backed up and gave the girls a dirty look.
Everyone was quite for a few seconds but then Queen Serenity regained her composure and smiled at the new comers.
" If you will follow me I will show you to your rooms, Girls," The Princess snapped to attention. " Prehaps when are guest are more settled in you would like to show them around the palace." The 4 princesss nodded and watched the Queen walk off gaily chatting with the princesss while the three lights followed behind them.
" I guess Yaten is not to happy to be here," Jupiter said watching the retreating back of Yaten.
" Hey Serena, I think Seyia likes you," Rei said poking Serena in the side a smirk on her face.
Serena instantly blew up, " You take that back Rei-chan! The only one for me is Darien!" Serena yelled back.
" I'm very surpirsed anyone like Darien would like such a MeatBall Head like you," Rei yelled back.
" Waaaaaa, that was so mean Rei, take that back!" Serena cried.
" Why you started it MeatBall head," Rei replied crossing her arms and shiffing at Serena.
Lita and Ami sweatdropped at such a display of childs emtions.
" Would you two please grow up," Ami screamed loudly over Serena's crying.
Serena stopped wailing and looked at Ami, a puzzled look on her face. Ami did not scream, she was always so quiet and refiened.
" I mean, please be quiet," Ami said blushing.
Just then Mina came running up to them her breathing laboured and her hair a mess.
" Am I late?" Mina gasped.
" Yes you are, they have already arrived, the queen is with them now," Lita replied.
" Ahhhh I always miss all the good things," Mina said groaning and snapping her fingers.
" Don't worry Mina, you can see them later. Right now they are resting, lets go have our tea and maybe after that they'll be refreshed," Serena said taking Mina's arm. The other girls nodded and they all walked toward the gardens.
