Note: this whole story takes place in the future after the whole B.S.S.M series.
A Promise
After the initial shock had worn off, they seemed to breathe normally.
"You're going WHERE?" Uranus, who had always been protective of me, was still spouting flames.
"Just…away for a bit," I replied, a bit flustered and shy about all the attention I was receiving from the Outer Senshi.
Everyone was gathered on Neptune for the annual gathering we have every once a month to discuss politics and family stuff.
"I didn't exactly volunteer to go to this place or anything!" My face was getting a little red.
Princess Neptune kindly walked over to me and put a gentle hand on my shoulder.
I looked up and kinda smiled at her. I was afraid since the time I stepped over the threshold to the Conversing Room that they would all hate me for my decision. I was taken aback by this sudden show of kindness and understanding.
Supported by the Princess of Neptune, I went forward and explained my situation to them.
The scouts kindly sat there and listened to my story. When I finished Pluto suggested that I inform Queen Serenity so as to not worry her, but I knew what was on their minds. The Royal Family's son; Prince Gideon. He was always very polite to in the past 13 years, but his behavior never implied that he liked me. The Outer Senshi obviously thought otherwise.
But, deep in my heart, the part that I didn't want to admit. The part of me that I was afraid of: love. Since I was born, every person I ever loved has met the hands of death or otherwise. The span of peace between the years that the Outer Senshi found me and the year I was left on the ISS unnerved me. It was unnatural for the people closest to me to live so long. So I refused to admit that I had feelings for the Prince in order to preserve his life.
The Prince I didn't want to face, but a meeting with the Queen was unavoidable. Hopefully, Prince Gideon was camping or something. I was more afraid for his life if he were in the same room with me, than if he was out in a raging storm.
yes, yet another Sailor Moon fanfic...sorry, i'm obsessed.
