Chapter 9: Leave of
Absence
(Moon Palace two weeks later)
“Where are you going for leave?” Jupiter asked the other senshi. “I’m going home.”
“Home too.” Mars and Mercury said.
“Me too and Serenity is coming with me.” Venus said.
“What about you two?” Mercury asked Uranus and Neptune.
“I don’t know.” Neptune said.
“I’m staying here.” Uranus said.
“I’ll probably stay here as well.” Neptune said, “I rather not go home.”
“You can’t stay here.” Jupiter said. “This is our chance to get away from training away from Pluto.”
“I’m not ready to go back.” Uranus said getting a distant look on her face as she looked out the window. Unknown to the others Neptune slipped her hand under the table and placed it on top of Uranus’ hand.
“Why don’t you come to Mercury? I’m sure my mom won’t mind besides Neptune it’s been years since you visited.” Mercury asked.
“Sure, what do you think Uranus?” Neptune asked Uranus but she wasn’t really paying attention so Neptune gently squeezed her hand. “Uranus?”
“What?” Uranus asked looking a little surprised then realized Neptune’s hand was on top of hers and smiled.
“Mercury asked us if we wanted to go home on leave with her.” Neptune asked.
“Yeah sure.” Uranus said.
“Great then we leave tomorrow at noon.” Mercury said.
“Alright.” Uranus said standing up and leaving with Neptune right behind her she lead them into an alcove.
“Uranus are you alright? You spaced out there for a minute.” Neptune said.
“I’m fine. I just got lost in thought.” Uranus said. “Neptune doesn’t your mother want you going home?”
“She doesn’t know about the leave.” Neptune said taking Uranus’s hand and leaning into her. “I never sent the letter home.”
“But what if she finds out?” Uranus said kissing Neptune gently on the lips. “Are you sure she hasn’t spoken with the Queen? If she finds out she might make you leave training.”
“I don’t want to leave you.” Neptune said still leaning in close to her. “I’ll talk with the queen maybe I can ask her not to tell my mother.”
“Maybe you can tell her about your mother pressing that you get married.” Uranus said.
“Yeah that might work. I wish I could tell her that I don’t want to marry Tolsin that I want to be with you.” Neptune said.
“I think it would be better to leave that part out, my little mermaid.” Uranus said kissing her on the forehead. “You better go talk with her.”
Neptune nodded then kissed Uranus before leaving Uranus standing alone in the alcove.
(Queen’s study)
“What is it you wanted Neptune?” Queen Serenity asked from behind her desk.
“I wanted to talk you about our leave.” Neptune said sitting down in front of the desk. “I don’t want to go back to Neptune. Mercury offered to let me come home with her but I don’t think my mother would want me too.”
“Why don’t you want to go home?” Queen Serenity asked.
“She really has been pressing me to get married and I don’t think I’m ready yet. She has been wanting to talk to you about me leaving early to marry I fear if I go home for my leave I’ll have to marry Tolsin.” Neptune said.
“I take it you would rather I not mention your leave to your mother?” Queen Serenity said.
Neptune looked down at the floor, “Yes.”
“I won’t tell her but you really need to talk with her about this.” Queen Serenity said to which Neptune nodded.
(Mariner Palace, Planet Mercury the next day)
Mercury, Neptune and Uranus walked into the throne room where a woman with long light blue hair sat next to a man with short dark aqua color hair. “Mama, papa!” Mercury said running across the room hugging both the man and woman.
“How is my little fish doing?” He asked.
“Good papa I hope you don’t mind I brought some friends.” Mercury said.
“Not at all honey, well now is that little Mi-” The man said getting cut off by Mercury.
“Neptune, papa she’s called Neptune now and this is Uranus.” Mercury said pointing to the two of them.
“It is an honor to be here Queen Suisei, King Dion.” Uranus said bowing.
“No need for such formality you can call me Cherise.” The queen said. “Neptune you’ve really grown since I last saw you.”
“It is good to see you again Aunt Cherise, Uncle Dion.” Neptune said getting a hug from both of them.
“Glad to have you. Gods you look so much like your mother.” King Dion said. “I’m sure we can find a few rooms for the two of you.”
“Sire, the queen wants Neptune and I to form a strong bond since we will only have each other to rely on in the outer rim would it be possible for us to have a two room suite?” Uranus said.
“I think that can be arranged.” King Dion said.
“Mercury honey if you have time today I have some young men here for you to meet.” Queen Cherise said.
“More suitors mother?” Mercury said.
“Yes, just meet them who knows maybe you will like one of them.” Queen Cherise said.
“Yes mother.” Mercury said.
“Hey least you get a choice.” Neptune whispered then looked up at the Queen, “Aunt Cherise I remember last time I was here there was circus in town does it still come around?”
“Yes actually it’s here now if you girls would like to visit it we can loan a few guards.” Queen Cherise said.
“I think Uranus and I can take care of ourselves thank you though.” Neptune said.
“I’ll catch up with you later today.” Mercury said.
(Later that day at the circus)
Uranus and Neptune walked through the town and to the circus Uranus reached down and took Neptune’s hand in hers kissing it gently then just walked holding her hand. “Uranus what are you doing? What if someone sees us?” Neptune said.
“So what if someone sees us no one here knows who we are. To them we are just a young couple at the circus. Besides everyone probably thinks I’m a guy.” Uranus said wrapping her arm around Neptune’s waist. “Neptune this is our chance to just be us.”
“I suppose you’re right but for this to work you can’t call me Neptune that would be a dead give away.” Neptune said. “And I can’t call you Uranus so what should I call you?”
“Ok what should you call me?” Uranus said pausing, “Amara.”
“Why Amara?” Neptune asked though she already knew who Amara was.
“That was the name of the last Sailor Uranus.” Uranus said. “What about you what am I going to call you?”
“Michelle.” Neptune said. “She was the last Sailor Neptune.”
“Ok then what do you want to do first Michelle?” Uranus said as the continued to walk.
“You two there you look like charming young couple and I would wage you are foreigners. No don’t say a word I wager for five copper I can guess what planets you are from. If I’m wrong the lady can pick any of these prizes.” A circus vender said gesturing behind him to a shelf full of stuffed animals. Uranus looked over to Neptune then reached into her pocket handing the man a copper coin. “Let’s start with the lady first, now one would think you were from Mercury judging by your hair alone but I’ve only ever seen those eyes twice before and that was on the King and Princess who both have Neptunian blood in them. So fair lady I would wager you are from Neptune.” The man said causing Neptune to giggle then nodded. “And onto you good sir, I have a feeling that sword at your hip isn’t just for fashion. I imagine you could skewer me before I could even scream. You hold yourself like a warrior so I would have to say you are a Martian.”
“Which do you want Michelle?” Uranus said pointing to the stuff animals her Uranian accent clearly coming through.
“Or Uranian.” The man said getting the stuff animal Neptune pointed at. “I never thought I would see a Uranian and Neptunian together if it wasn’t for the alliance your two planets would be at war. Your parent actually approve? No I would wager they don’t know.”
Uranus and Neptune didn’t say anything more to the man just continued walking, “So why the angel?” Uranus said pointing to the stuff animal Neptune held.
“It reminds me of you.” Neptune said fluffing Uranus’ hair. “You’re my angel.”
Uranus walked but was real silent looking like she was staring off in the distance. Neptune tugged on Uranus’ sleeve getting her attention. “Oh sorry my father used to call me that.”
“I’m sorry do you want me not to call you that?” Neptune asked.
“No, it’s alright you can call me whatever you want.” Uranus said kissing Neptune. “Michelle look a haunted house.”
“Amara I don’t really want to.” Michelle said.
“Come on it will be fun you aren’t scared are you?” Uranus teased.
“I’m not afraid.” Neptune said taking Uranus’ hand and leading her to the haunted house. They walked through the front doors of the house that looked like it was about to fall down. The door was barely on its hinges and had spider webs covering it. Once inside they felt a cool breeze blow past them lifting Neptune’s skirt a little. “Amara are you doing that?” Neptune asked. Pluto had been working with the senshi teaching them how to control their elements.
“What no that’s not me.” Uranus laughed then caught Neptune as she screamed and jumped into her arms. Next to them a skeleton had dropped down from the ceiling. “Not scared eh?”
Neptune leaded closer to Uranus and jumped again as Uranus grabbed her rear gently. “I think I know why you like haunted houses so much.” Neptune said kissing Uranus on the lips.
(Moon Palace two weeks later)
“Where are you going for leave?” Jupiter asked the other senshi. “I’m going home.”
“Home too.” Mars and Mercury said.
“Me too and Serenity is coming with me.” Venus said.
“What about you two?” Mercury asked Uranus and Neptune.
“I don’t know.” Neptune said.
“I’m staying here.” Uranus said.
