A/N:Hello to all!This is my first story so try not to be to rough on me, but I do like feedback so please feel free toleave some. My ideas come from a mix of the Tv show,the manga and my own little mind so if you have any questions feel free to ask. Now on with the show!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these Sailor Moon characters, i just like to borrow them for awhile :-)

The Color of a Rose

"Minako, do I have to go back already?" Princess Serenity whined to her best friend in the gardens of the Royal Palace of Venus where the two blondes sat on the edge of a fountain. "I wish you did not have to go but if you stayed here any longer your mother, or more likely Luna would have a royal fit! You know how she is about you missing meetings and your lessons. It was a miracle they even let you come visit me for this long." The Princess of Venus and guardian of the princess said as she trailed a hand through the waters of the fountain. A small giggle escaped her lips after mentioning Luna, Serenity's loving yet somewhat over enthusiastic guardian back on the moon.

"Non sense Minako you know my mother would let me visit my guardians at anytime! But you do have a point about Luna, she has a fit when she thinks I am not keeping up on my studies, but I am a princess I should not have to worry about such things! Sernenity splashed some water from the fountain in frustration. " I know how to be a lady and I have no intentions of marrying any time soon, mother knows that and is not forcing me to marry against my will. Now if only Luna could see things as clearly as my mother does, she has been trying to get me married off to just about every suitor in the galaxy! She angerly got up and walked to a near by bush that was covered in orange blossoms. Gently picking one from the bush she brought it to her nose a smelled the sweet honey scent of the plant.

"I know Serenity and I am on your side, Minako stated as she joined her friend by the flower bush "you should be able to pick the one you marry and have it be for love, not for convenience or political power." She turned toward Serenity with a smirk on her face, " You are on the planet of the goddess of love after all and here we know how love works, we practically created the emotion. Are you sure you have not found a nice venisian prince that holds your fancy? She gave her friend a playful glare "If you married one we would be like sisters!" She happily expressed with a few slight jumps in the air while she grabbed Serenity's hands in her own.

"Minako how many times do I have to tell you, we are already like sisters, I do not have to be married to one of your people to be a part of your family, we are already family, you and all of my guardians know that." Serenity answered with a wide grin on her face aimed at her best friend.

" You are right we are like siblings but would it not be wonderful if we were anyway? You could come visit me more than you do now, I know we would both like that!

"I am sorry Minako but I really have to go back or I will never hear the end of it from Luna." Serenity finally admitted sadly.

"Well at least let me see you off to the gates then okay? Minako asked taking her friends hand and walking back towards the palace. " I hope it's safe to travel now, we have been hearing reports of electrical storms between here and the moon, I would hate to see you stranded in the middle of goddess knows where." She admitted to her friend.

"I am sure I will be fine Minako! I have made this trip many times before; I know my way back home, do not worry about me." She tried to persuade her friend.

"Serenity when will you learn that I always worry about you? That is why I am one of your guardians, it is part of my job.

"Well you do not have to worry this time Minako, I can take care of myself, I assure you. I must be going now though, my mother wishes me back in time for supper." Serenity called back at Minako as she walked towards the gates that would bring her back to her home on the moon.

As she walked through the gates of the transporter that would bring her back home she suddenly felt shivers go down her back. Brushing it off as nerves and her resilience to go back home she continued on her way and turned to give Minako one last wave before she disappeared into the gates.
