Konnichiwa! *.~ Well, here's my first fic of SailorMoon! I am so happy, Sailor Moon is such a cool series. Well, I hope you guys like it and don't forget to R&R. ^.^

By the way, I really really really tried, but when I tried to steal Sailor Moon from Naoko Takeuchi she caught me. So that means it doesn't belong to me…yet.

Her golden blonde hair fell just below her waist. She stood at the edge of her balcony, staring out into the deep green skies of Venus. The breeze brushed lightly against her face and her orange dress fluttered in the air.

"Minako-chan." She heard the voice of her lover. She felt two warm arms wrap around her waist. "I have come, my princess. Why are you still awake?"

She felt butterflies in her stomach as the person holding her whispered into her ear.

"I knew you were coming." She inhaled deeply, keeping her eyes fixed on the landscape beyond the palace walls. "I am so afraid for you, my love. We were to be married, but you chose to fight alongside Prince Endymion?" There was a hint of resentment in her tone. "You are so arrogant. Just because you are Venus Knight does not mean that you have to go fight. It is not your place-"

"It is my place!" he exclaimed. When he felt her flinch, he lowered his voice.

"My princess, it is my place. I am a knight and that is what knights do. We defend our princesses, and I do not want anything bad happening to you."

Her sea-blue eyes widened. Suddenly filled with love, she turned for a glimpse of her knight.

And woke up.

Sighing, she dropped back onto her orange pillows.

*Who was so important in my past that I dream about him so often?*

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember his face, or anything else about him. She did, though, remember her kingdom back on Venus. She recalled how she held an annual ball and invited all of her friends.

Instead of continuing to bombard herself with those thoughts, she climbed out of bed, slipped on her plush bunny slippers, and went into the kitchen to make a fresh cup of hot cocoa.

It would have been a clear day, if the heavy rain that continued to fall over Tokyo would only stop.

Her small body shivered as they walked down the sidewalk together. Figuring that she was cold, he took off his coat and put it around her shoulders.

"No, Greg. Please take it back, you are going to catch a cold." Ami attempted to take off his coat, but he forced it on her.

Shaking his head he put one arm around her waist. Ami's cheeks turned rosy, and she pulled away.

"Ami, there is something that I have been meaning to tell you…er…I mean ask you…er…you know."

She was confused, but she pretended to follow along with what he was attempting to tell her.

"Wait, come here." He took her small hand in his and led her to a bench. They sat down under his umbrella and he lifted her face up gingerly with his finger.

"Ami, this is really hard for me to say, but well…I just can't hold it in any longer. I know that you may just look at me as a friend and we have been going to places as friends, but the truth is I think I'm in love with you." His voice squeaked at the end and Ami giggled.

"You think you're in love with me?" She smiled at him and her cheeks became even redder.

"No, I know that I'm in love with you." He pulled her lips close to his and they kissed.

When they pulled away, she bit her bottom lip.

"Yes," she began. "Greg…It's just that….well I have felt the same way too, but I didn't think it would actually…you know…work…"

Greg looked carefully into Ami's deep blue eyes. They were like mirrors, reflecting everything inside her.

"So here's the question." He grinned. "Ami, will you be my girlfriend?"

The rain had become lighter and she took the umbrella out of his hands. She set it on the ground and returned a kiss to his frozen lips.

"Yes."

Her emerald dress flowed behind her as she walked into the great dining hall. Her small tiara was digging into her head, but she didn't want to take it off. It was silver, intertwined with gold, and right in the center was the number four with oak leaves around it made up of white gold. In her hand, she held a small white mask adorned with delicate green feathers.

Unable to delay any longer, she opened the large doors. Everyone at the ball grew silent as she entered. The women curtsied and the men bowed.

An unmistakably male figure approached her. His face was masked, and he greeted her with the proper kiss on the hand.

"May I have this dance?" he asked, bowing before her.

She put on her mask and nodded for him to proceed. She knew who it was, and when everyone's attention was redirected to the party, she pecked him on the mouth.

"Mako-chan." She could hear the smile in his voice as he led her around the floor.

Secretly, he wanted to take her away from the party where they could be alone, but it was impossible. If even one person saw that she left the party, she would be in trouble. He did not want to stain the princess's reputation.

"I have been pondering lately whether I should go to war or not," he said finally. "Since I am Jupiter Knight, I have decided to fight." He held her closer now than he had ever before.

He could feel her heart beating fast against his chest. She was beginning to cry.

"Mako-chan, do not cry for me. I am but an imbecile who does not know anything in this world. I choose war over true love? Listen to this idiot speak…" he paused. "But even though my heart desires to stay with you, I just can't leave Prince Endymion alone in this fight against Queen Beryl."

She buried her face against his chest, and he gave her a quick kiss on the top of her head. "Hold it true to your heart that I still love you, no matter what happens. And if I do not return…"

She quit her crying as she felt his warm lips travel from her neck to her mask. Huge emerald eyes turned up to look at him, her determination evident.

"Don't say that, my fair knight. You will return, and the reason for your return will be the vow that you will make to our love."

She removed her mask and awaited him to do the same, but he did not.

"No, my love. I do not want to make a vow that I may break. How am I to sustain such a vow against war? If I die, then I want you to be happy. If I do not to return, I plead to you to find a new love. Though I shall forever be with you, no matter where you go."

He made a move to remove his mask and she closed her eyes. She felt his passionate kiss and his comforting embrace all at once.
