Disclaimer: yeah..my name's april. i don't think you see my name as the creator of gundam wing or sailor moon.
Once upon a time, there were five couples, all kings and queens, all were rulers of the inner court: the Moon (Rulers of Overall Peace and Beauty), Mercury ( Rulers of Ice), Mars (Rulers of Fire and Spirituality), Jupiter (Rulers of Thunder and Strength), and Venus (Rulers of Love and Beauty). The outer court was entitled to the defense of the galaxy: Saturn (Rulers of Death), Neptune (Rulers of the Sea), Uranus (Rulers of Wind), and Pluto (Rulers of Time).
All of the queens were close, but the inner court was closest because of their pregnancies, which were all around the same time miraculously. Because the princesses of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were already born, they were very excited about the births of the new princesses.
During the meeting, the queens began to plan a party for the babies coming into the new world. (They left most of the monarchial duties to their men..heeheehee) Queen Selenity called the meeting to an end.
"I'm craving chocolate.......right now!" said a giggling Selenity. Her eyebrows rose with a suggestive hint in Queen Juno's direction. "You know what that means, right, June?"
Juno shook her head and smiled with a sigh. "I've already prepared snacks. So predictable, Selly!"
Selenity pouted. "The other girls are just as eager! And don't even pretend you don't have cravings--I've seen you in the kitchen at midnight."
The queens giggled at their banter. Leina, Queen of Mars, crossed her arms. "And what were you doing in the kitchen so late at night? Haven't I told you about eating at midnight Selenity?"
Selenity giggled at being caught. "Uh-" Thankfully Marina of Mercury came to her aid. "I'm sure she was only up for a glass of water. Isn't that correct, Selly," she said sternly.
"Yes." She smiled in thanks. "Now, to commence with the chocolate party!"
.........................................Everyone was already to the door.
A few months later, the queens were caught in labor. Litian of Jupiter was born first of the five in early December. Three months later Rayonali of Mars was birthed. Two months after the fire princess, Serenity of the Moon Kingdom was born. But what Queen Selenity didn't know was that she had another baby coming after Serenity--Apollo. Two months and one month after Serenity and Apollo, Aminia and Amiri of the Venetian and Mercurian Kingdoms were born respectively.
Litian was a green-eye brown-hair baby, yet the tips of her hair were faintly brushed jade. Litian's baby room was filled with amazon findings and a ceiling of clouds with lightning.
Rayonali had piercing violet eyes and dark purple streaked raven hair. Her room was decorated like a traditional shrine and a ceiling dropping flames.
Serenity was...a surprise. In all honesty the people were hoping for, but were quite taken with the little goddess of a baby. Here golden blonde hair held a silver shimmer to it as did her sapphire eyes. Her room was pure white with a sky view for a ceiling. She shared the room with her brother, Apollo, who had platinum hair and the same eyes as his twin.
Princess Aminia was a model-some baby. Every time someone showered her with attention, she fluttered her pale blonde little lashes on her sky blue eyes. Her room had quite a few mirrors on the wall and hearts on her ceiling.
Lastly, Amiri. She had aqua weaving its way through her royal blue hair. Her aqua eyes shone with the knowledge of the world she was brought into. Her room had many books and ice sculptures in it. On her ceiling was cubes of ice.
When all of the babes were around six months old, a tragedy struck their kingdoms of happiness. A terrorist army called "Oz" happened to annihilate the outer planets' defense and make their way toward the inner circle.
When Oz set feet upon the White Moon Kingdom to take baby Serenity, Selenity was nursing her. They roughly pushed Selenity aside and grabbed Serenity by her feet.
"Nooo! My baby!" Queen Selenity screeched in horror.
King Tranquility struggled to hold his wife back as the Oz soldiers escaped. "We still have Apollo to worry about! We can only help our child when we are at our strongest!"
Unfortunately for him, he would never get the chance to see his little baby girl again.
"What have we trained our soldiers for if they cannot be trusted with surprise attacks!" Selenity exclaimed. "Royalty is of utmost importance. When i get my hands on the commanders-"
Tranquility held a hand over his wifes mouth. "Quatre. Safe. Now!" He commanded.
Selenity furiously wiped her streaming tears away and encased her son in a white glow. He then vanished to a safer place.
They never saw the bomb being thrown whenever Serenity was kidnapped, and they sure as hell didn't see it at their feet when it went off.
Oz accomplished its goal: to kidnap the inner court princesses. Fortunately, Pluto had grown into her powers and teleported Amarni, Michela, and Hotari to her work. No one knows what happened to little Apollo. There wasn't a single soul left in the kingdoms, yet when Selenity and Tranquility died their soul stayed with their babies as long as they needed her.
