Standard Disclaimer: I do not own the series Sailor Moon. Don't sue because I have the tough, angry Attorney Raye Hillman on my side. I do not own Raye either. Or Amy. Or Serena. Or Mina. Or Lita. Or Nephrite, Zoicite, Kunzite, Jaedite, or Darien.

I've pretty much told you all the characters that will be in this story. Some of them you will never meet, but will be mentioned about in due time. Now have fun reading this story based on the star-bound love or Lita and Nephrite. It's rare.

A Little Forward

What marked the end of the Silver Millennium was the day Queen Serenity announced to the court that it was time to write down their daughters' destinies as they willed it. This was Queen Serenity's covenant to the Majesties of the galaxy for the centuries of loyalty and guardianship they entrusted to her. Each king and or queen of his, her, or their respective planet was to put down on magical paper the destiny for their daughter and enter it into the Imperium Silver Crystal memory.

Venusian King and Queen put their heads together and thought this destiny up for Princess Mina, chiefly called Sailor Venus: She will be the Justice of love. She will work to bring soul mates together and herself find true love as she continues to defend and protect our Princess. They handed the words on the yellow sheet to Queen Serenity, who smiled brightly. "Love is a powerful force I am certain Mina will be giving and receiving."

Mercurian Queen wanted her daughter, Princess Amy, also known as Sailor Mercury, to grow up and have self-confidence and will, so she wrote on the blue paper: Amy will be as bright and witty as she is today and whatever she dreams to be she will become. When Queen Serenity took the paper and read it she said to Mercury, "Amy is who she will be in the future only she won't carry the burden of being a princess."

Martian King and Queen did not even look at each other. They only knew in their hearts and souls that their daughter, Princess Raye, recognized by the universe as Sailor Mars, deserved a destiny not written on paper. They wrote: It is not for us or Queen Serenity to decide her destiny. Who she will be is her choice and her destiny lies in her own capabilities. Queen Serenity looked up from the red paper in her hand and thought aloud, "We all know the girls' qualities and personalities will not change. You have nothing more to wish for?" Martian Queen answered, "To us, writing a destiny only binds an individual to a restricted life." Queen Serenity nodded, "Very well. Then, may Raye forever be herself and find true happiness in friends and family."

Lastly, for Princess Lita, championed only by her other form Sailor Jupiter, Jupiterian King declared, "I will write my daughter the best darned destiny ever!"

"It's unheard of," the Venusian Majesties stated with a firm shake of their heads.

"I'm writing down each year of her life."

"That's aberrant!" Martian Majesties shouted at the same time.

Mercurian Majesty sagely nodded. "That's right. At least leave out the first thirteen years of her life."

Everyone stared at Mercury, stunned, except for Jupiter.

"Right then!" Jupiterian King raised his pen over the green parchment and started scribbling:

Age 14: She will become Sailor Jupiter and meet up with the girls.

Age 15: Cooking tournament.

Age 16: First kiss.
