Mercury's Jealousy

…

Several lifetimes ago, in fact, millennia ago, Moon Kingdom was in charge of the most power planetary alliance on its Milky Way. Eight out of its nine neighbor planets agreed to follow Moon Kingdom's leadership. They had established that Queen Serenity 1st was the sovereign of their alliance.

Silver Millennium was the name of their Era and their planetary alliance was named: Silver Alliance.

But one planet was not included in Silver alliance and it was not because Moon Kingdom refused to do so, it was because planet Earth rather had its own demands and its Ruler was not pleased with Moon Kingdom's offers and warrants.

Queen Serenity never gave up and kept trying to catch Earth's Kingdom attention. She wanted to forge the strongest alliance in the whole galaxy against foreign evil forces; it was mutual benefit. But that wasn't going to happen without planet Earth's help.

Fortunately after several years of discussions and proffers between Earth and Moon's advisors, planet Earth agreed to pay a visit and have a private talk with its satellite's Queen.

When Silver Alliance heard the news they immediately offered their guardians and planetary Avatars to save and secure Moon's royal family's wellbeing for sake of Silver Alliance. None of the planets from Silver Alliance trusted planet Earth.

The four innermost planets: Mars, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus agreed to send their Avatars, better known as Sailor Senshis to the Moon.

But the outer planets will remain watchful on their spots and their princesses will stay on their planets. A silent alert among the rest of their alliance: Keeping their eyes focused on the outsiders; the earthlings.

Princesses Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus, were the four young Avatar chosen from their planet and they were eager to get back to lunar soil again. It had been years since the last time they all got together with Princess Serenity. Even though all were equally excited, the Jovian princess was probably the most enthusiastic to leave her planet given that the past couple years planet Jupiter had been suffered several civil war attempts and therefore, the Jovian princess was obligated to stay and take care of her people along her two mothers: Queens Hera and Queen Io.

Unless Queen Serenity specifically calls for her help, the Jovian Princess was not allowed to leave her home planet. But finally the day had come: Princess Jupiter was summoned to Moon Castle along with the rest of Moon's royal court: The four inner Senshis.

And that news only meant one thing to her: She'll see Princess Mercury again, 'Finally, after a whole damn year! And of course I'll help keep an eye on these new guys from Earth and will take of Serenity!'

…

The day of Moon and Earth's diplomatic meeting was held, one princess' forehead had been suffering all day because of the tight scowl that permanently settled on her face.

Princess Athena does not usually frown and certainly she does not scowl but Princess Jupiter's action that afternoon riles her to no end. And suddenly she found herself frowning…and she was frowning a LOT.

Princess Mercury, a petite blue-haired young lady with big bright blue eyes was carefully watching her fiancée's interaction with the foreign auburn-haired, charming, good-looking Earthling guy. Said Earthling won't stop smiling and chuckling stupidly at every single thing Princess Jupiter says, even worse, that guy was playfully touchingJupiter's forearm.

The auburn-haired Earthling was part of Prince Endymion's personal guard.

'More like his goons.'

As the day went by Princess Serenity's Senshis keep the cordial interactions with Prince Endymion's advisors. And to Princess Mercury and Mars' displeasure it turned out that Prince Endymion was a true and kind gentleman.

Prince Endymion, a tall black-haired young man, with kind blue eyes and a sweet smile, to his advisor's concern fell in love with Princess Serenity the moment he laid his eyes on her. And much to the Senshis chagrin, the feeling is mutual.

As soon as the Prince saw his opportunity he discreetly wandered away from his guards making his way to the far-off gardens of Moon Palace along with the Moon Princess. Gentlemanly, he extended his arm like the respectful man he is, holding Princess Serenity close to his side starting to walk away from his and her guardians, eager to get to know one another without their guardians around.

The earthling guard known as Shittenou, decided to accompany the other four Princesses on their waiting, sharing some battle and politic experiences in the meantime.

Soon, Princess Venus and Princess Mars lead their way to the training arena followed by the Shittenou's leader: General Kunzite, a tall white haired man with brawny body, following him was a slender blond guy, his hair was short and he was smiling joyfully walking close to his leader and the two Princesses. He appears to be the youngest of the four men.

'They're probably going to have a sparring match…Ugh, so typical of you Aphrodite, showing off with the new guys, there's no need to be jealous. Arianna-chan doesn't want anything to do with that joyful, silly and tall blond! She already has her own joyful, silly and tall blonde.'

Princess Mercury chuckles internally at her own joke. In all honesty she was waiting the perfect moment to do the same as Venus with her Jovian fiancée.

She was keeping an eye on Princess Ío and the unkempt equally auburn-haired guy at her side but suddenly she was startled by the remaining Shittenou. This one was a blond long-haired man, his hair was tied in a low ponytail and he apparently was determined to make her jump out of her skin every time he got close to her.

'Holy chaos, what was he saying? I haven't even been paying attention to a single word of what he's said!'

Princess Jupiter and the auburn-haired Shittenou kept catching Princess Mercury's attention.

"Sorry uhm, what was that again, Zoisite-san?" The blue-haired lady tried to excuse herself for not been listening.

"Oh, never mind." The blond offers gently, "I see Nephrite has caught your attention as well, Princess." He points out.

Shaking her head; Athena smiled weakly at him trying to refocus her attention. Unbeknownst to Zoisite was Princess Mercury's real interest on his friend and partner.

The pain inside her stomach and the uneasiness that this Nephrite guy brings her was driving the cold minded and always collected Princess Mercury insane.

Jealousy was an emotion she has not experienced before and certainly she didn't know what to do to keep it at bay.

'Who do this guy think he's deceiving with that false attitude? Acting all gentleman-like? His attitude looks so frigging fake.'

Princess Jupiter's melodic laughter lures Princess Mercury and her companion's full attention to their location a few meters away from them.

Zoisite snickers amused at the sight of his friend succeeding at making the beautifully tall Princess laugh.

"It seems your friend and mine are getting along, I think Nephrite's finally found a girl that's worth of his handsomeness and silly jokes. I wish I'd have the same luck as he-"

Snorting, Princess Mercury interrupts him dryly, "If listening to a woman's silly schoolgirl-like laughter is your way to think your friend had 'conquered' Princess Ío let me take you out of your mental cloud Jadeite-san," a cold tone made itself heard in Mercury's voice, "Princess Jupiter would never fall for a clown like that friend of yours." At the silence that followed her statement she adds, "I am saying this with all due respect. Please excuse my frankness."

'Geez Io, you are not even into men! But of course these silly guys don't see that.' The blunette rolled her eyes internally.

Trying to keep his smirk at bay, the blond was trying to sound nonchalantly, "Sorry Princess, I didn't mean to offend your friend she obviously is your best friend, uh? Now that I think about it, you too seem very close."

'That's because WE ARE CLOSE; she's freaking mine! I mean…she's MY fian-' But she was pulled out from her mental rambling.

"And maybe you're right,-" seeing Mercury raising an eyebrow at his statement he adds, "-Nephrite is a very snooty man; that's not a secret. Dear Lord, I can't stand him sometimes but he's a good man. And it seems that your friend there; likes him the way he is." To emphasize what he'd said, with his right hand he points where their friends were laughing.

Following Zoisite's gesture, Athena turns her head and sees Nephrite making a slight reverence holding his hand out awaiting something from Princess Jupiter, smiling non-stop at her.

The Jovian Princess gave an amused chuckle before materializing on her right hand, a long metal spear.

'That's Sailor Jupiter's Spear! The same one she uses in battle, and she's offering it to Nephrite just like that?!'

The Jovian Princess waits for him to take the spear from her hand, a smirk appears on her face when the taller man held the spear from its middle section and was almost slammed against the ground beneath them when Princess Ío let go of the spear.

Princess Mercury was giggling internally at her girlfriend's dark sense of humor.

'She always holds it like it weights nothing. The damn thing is heavy as hell.'
