URANUS & NEPTUNE

Disclaimer: No, i actually don't own any senshi... As it says, this is a fanfiction; I'm a fan and fictioning...

Author's Note: This fanfic takes place when Silver Millennium still existed on Moon. I didn't want to give them completely different names, and instead I used names of the planets for girls' names. Their Japanese names sounded silly to me. I mean, Usagi's name was Serenity at past, right? Please note that this story is 3 years old, I edited little since then. Italic font parts between stars represent flashbacks, in case you couldn't figure out. Well, there are a lot of flashbacks in this story, it was necessary for me to write them to give you a better opinion about their relationship. Hope you'll enjoy as much as I did while writing.

PART 1- REUNION

-Chapter 1-

"What??!!" she cried.

"Please Uranus, listen to me first dear."

Young girl clenched her fists, breathed deeply. She tried to stay calm as her mother watched her; she nodded her to continue.

"He said he has fallen in love with you dear. Please, don't get angry. All I want is you to talk with him for a while. If you don't like him, we can reject him politely."

Uranus leaned to the balcony door, felt the wind passing through her hair. Her mother had recovered a month ago and she was the happiest for that. But nowadays, she began to feel regret for this.

"Again?" she said tiredly. "Mum, you know I've lots of work. Tell him to come when I'm not busy. Like a hundred years later…"

"Uranus! Why are you acting so strange? All I ask you is to see him for a while. I've newly recovered and you're making me upset!" she said with a shaking voice. "Don't you want to make me happy?"

Uranus looked back to her mother, weak Queen who was sitting on chair. She looked really tired, weak and sick. Her beautiful face was thin and pale; her hands were looking bony, she had worn a scarf around her shoulders to hide bony body of hers. Though, she was looking healthier compared to her condition a few weeks ago, day by day she was getting better. Princess smiled in defeat, walked to woman and kneeled before her, then took her hand in hers.

"I'll mum." She said softly.

Woman looked at her with bright eyes, she smiled prettily.

"Thank you my dear, thank you." She said planting a kiss on girl's forehead.

Uranus got up and left Queen's room. She went down the stairs, guards saluted her as she passed. She saluted them as a soldier too. That was usual in Uranus; after civil war, army began to see Princess as their commander. Of course the way she dressed was making this image stronger. One could usually see princess in shirts, trousers, boots and almost ready to go for a fight. Today was no different; she had no reason to dress for the occasion. She passed through a long hall; she stopped when she heard her nanny's voice coming from a room. She looked inside a room; Merry was trying to sleep her child with a lullaby, the one Princess knew so well. Woman smiled to her when she realized she was watched.

"Want to help me Princess?" Woman whispered.

Uranus smiled but frowned.

"No way." She said quietly by moving her lips.

She winked playfully at old woman, then continued her way to royal gardens. She remembered days she spent here; mostly they were about a certain green-aqua haired girl. Her only and beloved friend… She stopped near the fountain. It always reminded a scene she saw years ago. A 10-year-old girl, sitting at the edge of it and crying... Memories came to her, but it was a hurting one…

--------

"Well, nice to know that they're getting well along."

"But what I'm worried about is Uranus's behaviors... She is not acting like a princess!"

King of Uranus laughed under his moustache, he looked out from window. His blonde pony tailed daughter was running around the Neptunian girl, laughing happily.

"Let them enjoy their childhood my queen, it comes only once." He kissed his beloved wife's hand gently.

"Over here Neptune!!" Uranus yelled.

Aqua haired girl looked at the disk in her hand, and then looked at her friend. She threw the orange disk as fast as she could. Disk flew over the grass and Uranus run to catch it. As she jumped she hit someone behind her and fall.

"Ah!!"

"Uranus!" Neptune ran to her.

"Sorry Uranus, my fault." A boy apologized politely.

Blonde princess turned to see who the boy was, her eyes opened wide with the handsome face she saw.

"Endymion!!" She hugged her earthian friend.

Neptune held her arm and waited for the introduction as old friends greeted each other cheerfully. As Prince looked at her, Uranus realized her companion was waiting there.

"Oh, sorry... Let me introduce you two. This is Endymion, prince of Earth. And this is my friend Neptune, princess of Neptune."

"Nice to meet you, Prince Endymion." She raised her hand elegantly.

"That pleasure is mine." Young prince kissed princess's hand.

Even though they were not older than her, their acts made Uranus angry. Neptune was 10, like herself and Endymion was almost 14. But, what was it all about? Suddenly, all Neptune's tone and giggles had an adult's mood, as well as Endymion's.

"Ahem!" she got the attention she wanted. "Endy, we were playin' with this flying disk, wanna join?"

"Sure." He smiled. "Isn't it hard for you to play with this dress Neptune?"

Girl looked confused, then she looked at her light turquoise colored dress. She smiled back politely, Uranus noticed that her friend blushed a bit.

"Not that much hard Endymion, I don't have to jump around."

"Oh, right. That would be Uranus's job." He looked with the corner of his eye to blonde girl.

As Neptune giggled, Uranian Princess narrowed her eyes. She pulled aqua haired girl to an empty corner of the garden after Endymion ended his visit.

"Uranus! You hurt my arm!"

"Tell me what's going on then?!"

"Wh-what??" Neptune looked puzzled to her friend.

"What were those giggles and all that other stuff you did to Endymion?!!"

Girl looked more and more confused.

"W-why? Did I, do something wrong?"

"Yes! You liked him didn't you?" she frowned.

Neptune looked angrily to her; she crossed her arms over her chest and turned her head.

"What if I had?"

Uranus hesitated for a while, just searched for the right words. For the ones, which would really make Neptune shocked.

"So, you think that he was interested in you?" she said at last with an over-confident tone.

Girl looked to her shocked, as she expected.

"What does that mean?"

"You think you're beautiful?" she cursed herself for saying these, of course Neptune was beautiful. "Endymion is very interested in Moon Princess, Serenity. Whom, you can't even compete with."

Neptune's eyes were like two, deep emotion ocean, all anger and sadness were rising and dying inside those ocean blue orbs.

"You're lying!"

"How could you think you're so beautiful? You have no specific talent or beauty that can make you special."

Uranus was sad; she was destroying the most respectful and strong friendship of hers by cruel words at each second. But she couldn't control her anger; it was out of her hands from the first word she spoke. A strange anger that she never felt before, seeing her friend likes another child, making friends and sharing a close bond in seconds, which took years for them to share... Full of envy, selfishness and jealousy…

"Do you know what they'll make of you? Find a man who can marry you, the dumb princess of Neptune. Then send you away so no one will have to see the ugly face of yours! Too much for an easy going girl like you..."

"ENOUGH!!!" wavy haired girl closed her ears with her hands; she opened her tear filled eyes to look at blonde princess. "Uranus!! You're so MEAN!!!!!" she screamed.

Uranus stepped back at her reaction, Neptune looked really upset.

"You are the rudest person I've ever met. I hate you! And I'll never come back to Uranus for visiting you! You heard me?! I HATE YOU!!!!" she screamed.

Girl run into the gardens of blue planet, her sobs and cries could be heard far away clearly. Blonde girl was left alone and was in shock, because of the words she heard for the first time from green haired girl. Neptune was not going to visit her again? From the day of her first visit, both princesses visited each planet at least once a month or two. If that was what Neptune meant, there won't be visits anymore. Suddenly she felt regret for her last words, she clenched her fists with anger. Why was she acting stupidly? She ran after the green haired girl as fast as she could. She past the rose gardens, she asked every gardener where her Princess went. All answers were same.

"Ocean Princess past from here, a few minutes ago, Princess of Sky."

Uranus ran as fast as her legs could move, all she wished was Neptune hadn't left the planet before she find her. She even went to Space Gate, the gate opening to space. But no, she wasn't there. She fell on the ground and sat in a corner. She started cursing herself; it was all because of her selfishness. If she hadn't done such a stupid thing…

"Princess Uranus?"

Uranus looked up to see man who was speaking to her. That was the soldier who had been protecting and controlling the Space gate. Lieutenant Heranmes, he was the one who had greeted little princess and her friend 3 years ago. They always visited him and he welcomed them with a smiley face.

"Is there something wrong?"

Uranus realized her cheek were wet. She quickly dried it with her arms and continued sitting quietly near the wall.

"You haven't visited me this time, did you argue?" he asked gently.

"No!!" Uranus started, but suddenly light in her eyes died.

Both sat silently for a while, then Lieutenant put his hand on Princess's shoulder.

"Mistakes are necessary to learn, just make sure that you don't repeat them."

Blonde girl looked with wet eyes to his brown ones. He smiled warmly to her, and then he began to correct collar of her shirt.

"You have to look nice while apologizing."

He smiled to puzzled look on young princess's face, man showed her back with his head. Uranus looked where he showed, it was royal gardens. It had a fascinating fountain in the middle.

"Where can Ocean Princess go, when she feels hurt?"

--------

Uranus shaked her head, she looked up to dark sky of Uranus. Since the sun was far from the planet their sky was never as beautiful as earth's. That was what Endymion told her. She saw a pale turquoise light blinking at her. It was Neptune, and it had a Princess that she hasn't seen for three years.

Note: You think this is rather short? I tell you, originally this is a 3 part story (or more depending on my mood swings) and each chapter makes around 19 pages in 11 font size at MSword. So, isn't best way to keep attention of readers, by dividing each chapter to reasonable amounts and post in chapters? Yeah, I thought like that too.
