Way back when
Prologue
It was a particularly cold night on the moon, thought the Prince as he trekked through the woods outside of the Moon Palace. He hugged the cape of his uniform around him like a blanket. Surely he would freeze to death before he could remember the way to the Moon Princess' window. He stopped to take a quick look around and that's when he heard it. It was the snapping of a twig, but the Prince knew that this planet was not a home to the wild creatures like his was. Which meant... someone was there. His head snapped in the direction of the noise only to be blinded by a bright green light and a cackling noise that sounded very simular to thunder. When the light finally faded he found himself face to face with a woman of tall stature. The haze of the forest and the combined fact that he was unable to see her very well made her seem all the more like a goddess. "Who-" He began to ask, but was abruptly cut of by a feminine but strong voice. "I know you, your the Earth Prince. What business do you have here?" The Prince took a step closer to the woman before him to get a better look. He could see her tense up, but did nothing to stop him.
What he saw took his breath away. She had gorgeous chestnut hair pulled back in a high ponytail and yet it still reached down to her slender hips. Her bangs and two strands of hair falling in front of her ears, which all encircled her face perfectly. Pulling his eyes away from her hair, they landed on her striking green eyes. They seemed to be striking him like thunder as his heart beat sped up. "I don't appreciate you staring so intently at me." He had just began to inspect her lips when he was broken out of his stunned state. "So-sorry. I came to see the Moon Princess." He had never felt so nervous before. She was looking him up and down, trying to read him. "Don't get her hopes up like that, I know that once you and your family have finished this treaty you only plan on seeing her when you have too. That's too cruel. So I won't let you get her hopes anymore." He was shocked to say the least. He and his father had had this talk this very morning. He had wanted to stop, but his father encouraged him to continue and after all this it wouldn't be necessary. "You seem to know everything don't you... uh..." "You can call me Sailor Jupiter." "Right. Sailor Jupiter." " I don't have it all figured out..." At that moment he caught a glimpse of emotion, was it sadness? So the famed Sailor Scouts, protectors of the Moon Princess were not as emotionless as they seemed to be. "Very well... I will leave now." She snapped back to that blank expression. "Good, allow me to escort you. You wouldn't do well to get caught now, would you?" "I suppose so." He grinned at the woman before him.
She turned out to be quite sneaky as she weaved her way through the forest. It didn't take her long to lead him to the portal that was hidden at the edge of the forest. "Have a safe trip home Prince." "Wait! When can I see you again?" She turned to look at him. Her eyes were mysteriously smokey and pooled with emotion. Truly she must be some kind of a goddess. "Never." And with that final answer, she took hold of him and pushed him through the portal. "Goodbye sweet Prince."
