Chapter 10: Happy
Birthday…?
(Marnier Palace two days later)
Uranus stood on the shore of one of the palace beaches waiting for Mercury who had asked her to meet her here. She had she needed to talk to her about something. She had her eyes closed enjoying the feeling of the wind around her. As she stood there she concentrated on the wind moving it to her will. The sand around her flew into the air creating a small cyclone around her. “Uranus?” Mercury called looking at the small cyclone of sand. Uranus opened her eyes and the cyclone disappeared the sand falling back to the ground. “Wow you have so much control over the wind all I’ve been able to do is freeze things here and there.”
“I’ve been practicing.” Uranus chuckled remembering the scolding she had got when Neptune figured out she had been using the wind to lift her skirt not that it had stopped her. “You wanted to see me?”
“Yes sorry it took me a while. My mother had yet another suitor for me to meet.” Mercury sighed.
“Seems she has more each day.” Uranus said glad no one was pressing her to get married now to become Queen that was another story. She was happy to be away from the moon away from the daily reminders that she soon would become the Queen of Uranus.
“I know but they really aren’t that bad some of them are actually really sweet. Though none of them are anywhere as handsome as General Zoicite. Anyway I wanted to talk to you because tomorrow is Neptune’s birthday.” Mercury said.
“Really she hasn’t said anything about it.” Uranus said wondering why Neptune hadn’t mentioned it to her. They would sit and talk for hours before falling asleep in each other’s arms but then again there were parts of her own life she didn’t tell Neptune.
“I know it’s strange I don’t know why.” Mercury said, “That is why I didn’t want her staying on the Moon alone.”
“Well she wouldn’t have been alone.” Uranus said getting a strange look from Mercury. “Never mind what do you want to do for her?”
“I was thinking just something small a nice dinner and a few gifts.” Mercury said. “Neptune never has been one for big parties.”
“Sounds good.” Uranus said.
“Great I’ll get the cook to fix up something she will like.” Mercury said.
(Later that day in town)
Uranus walked through the town looking for something to get Neptune. She wanted something special but didn’t really know what. As she walked she looked at things like necklaces and other jewelry but couldn’t find anything she liked. “Hey you there where is your pretty lady friend today?” A man called to Uranus. She looked up from the bracelet she was looking at to see the man from the circus. Uranus didn’t say anything at first just went back to her shopping. The man came closer and placed his hand on Uranus’ shoulder, “Awe lad, don’t tell me she left you. The two of you make such a handsome couple.”
“No we are still together. Tomorrow is her birthday and I’m not sure what to get her.” Uranus said putting the bracelet down on the table.
“Hmmm let’s see jewelry is nice but you want something special don’t you?” The man asked putting his arm around Uranus’ shoulder. “You won’t find it here. Come with me I know the prefect shop.” Uranus nodded and followed the man through town to a store hidden deep in the city. “You should be able to find the prefect gift here. Oh shoot look at the time I’ve got to run good luck.”
Uranus looked through the items in the store it seemed to be a book store of some kind. “Books? How is this store the prefect store?” Uranus said to herself looking around then heading to the door until she saw a green book with gold bordering on it and a small lock. The book looked familiar to her. “This is just like her diary.” Uranus said picking it up and looking at the blank pages. “She’ll be running out of pages soon.”
“Ah don’t sell many of those last person to buy one of those was an older Neptunian man he got it for his daughter.” A small old woman said. “What about seven years ago. Handsome gent long aqua colored hair and the most amazing blue eyes I’ve ever seen. Must have been a noble of some kind never seen him around before. He had it special ordered asked if I could hold onto the plans incase he needed another. I made an extra one just in case he came back I haven’t seen him since.”
“Would it be possible to get writing on the cover?” Uranus asked.
“Sure that wouldn’t be a problem.” The woman said taking the book. “What do you want on it?”
“Can you do a letter and a symbol?” Uranus asked.
“Let me guess you want an ‘M’ and the symbol of Neptune?” The woman said.
“How did you know?” Uranus asked.
“That’s what the man wanted to. This girl is lucky to have good men like the two of you in her life.” The woman said. “When do you need it?”
“Tomorrow,” Uranus said. “Is that possible?”
“Not a problem where would you like it delivered?” The woman asked.
“Marnier Palace just address it to Princess Mercury.” Uranus said.
(The next day)
Mercury knocked on the door to Neptune and Uranus’ room waiting for Uranus to come to the door. “This came this morning.” Mercury said handing Uranus a package wrapped in gold paper. Secretly wondering what the Senshi of the winds had got her cousin. Over the last few weeks she had noticed they seemed really close almost like lovers.
“Thanks.” Uranus said taking the package and reading the note attached to it saying where the package was from, “It’s for Neptune.”
“She isn’t here is she?” Mercury asked not wanting to ruin the surprise.
“No she went for a walk before dinner.” Uranus said. “She told me she would meet us in the dining hall.”
“Well then shall we?” Mercury said.
They walked down the hall to the dinning room where they found Neptune already sitting at table a distant look on her face. “Evening Neptune.” Mercury said sitting down at the table Neptune barely noticing her.
Uranus sat down next to Neptune putting her hand under the table and on Neptune’s thigh gently squeezing it. “Neptune, Happy Birthday.” Uranus said placing the gold package before her.
“How did you know?” Neptune said.
“I told her I bet you thought I forgot.” Mercury said placing another gift down in front of Neptune.
“Thank you,” Neptune said then after some encouraging from Mercury opened her gift. It was a small necklace with a sapphire turtle for a pendent. “Wow its beautiful Mercury.” Neptune said putting the necklace on with a little help from Uranus whose hands lingered on her neck a little.
“Don’t forget my gift.” Uranus said pointing at the gold package. Neptune smiled to Uranus then started unwrapping the packaging seeing the green book. She became really quiet and just stared at the book. “I noticed you diary was running low on pages last time you were writing in it.”
“Uranus I…” Neptune said trailing off and still staring at the book.
“I found it in a little shop in town the lady said-” Uranus started to say but stopped when Neptune stood taking the book.
“Excuse me. I have to…” She said quickly then left the dinning room.
Uranus watched her leave then looked at Mercury who shook her head just as confused. Uranus stood then followed after Neptune swearing she saw a tear run down her cheek before she ran off. Uranus cursed under her breath thinking that she had made Neptune cry. She found Neptune in their room sitting on her bed holding the book and crying. “Neptune?” Uranus said sitting down next to her and pulling her into her arms. “Neptune I hate to see you cry, what’s wrong?”
“Uranus I’m sorry. I…” Neptune said still crying as Uranus wrapped her arm around her shoulder.
“Was there something wrong with the book?” Uranus asked kissing Neptune on the forehead.
“No it’s just that this is just like the one my father gave me.” Neptune said leaning into Uranus. “He gave it to me for my birthday after a trip to Mercury. It was right before my ninth birthday. He said that this was just an early gift that when he got back from sea he would give me my real gift. He never…”
Uranus sat quiet holding her tightly as Neptune cried into her shoulder remembering that the King of Neptune had been a merchant and sailor before becoming king. She also remembered that he was killed at sea when his ship hit a storm. “Neptune I’m sorry I didn’t know.” Uranus said kissing her on the cheek a few stray tears falling down her own cheek.
“Uranus, thank you.” Neptune said wiping the tears away and snuggling close, “I really like the book and you’re right I’m almost out of pages.”
“I’m glad.” Uranus said then continued to hold her until she fell asleep. Uranus laid her down on the bed covering her with the bed covers then stared at her sleeping form, “Gods you’re beautiful. Neptune I-I love you.” She whispered kissing her on the cheek still unable to actually tell Neptune how she really felt. She sat there until she heard a knock on the door.
She walked over to it and opened the door seeing Mercury standing there “Is she ok?” Mercury asked.
“Yeah she’s sleeping.” Uranus said.
“What happened?” Mercury asked.
“I’ll tell you about it tomorrow.” Uranus said.
“Do you want anything to eat? I can have something sent up.” Mercury asked.
“No thanks I think I’m just going to go to bed too.” Uranus said.
“Alright I’ll see you tomorrow.” Mercury said wondering why it look like Uranus had been crying. “Good night Uranus.”
“Yeah good night Mercury.” Uranus said closing the door and heading back over to Neptune’s bed crawling in with her Neptune instantly curling up next to her. “Good night Neptune.” Uranus whispered kissing her again then closing her eyes drifting off to sleep to dream about the aqua haired goddess.
