"I hate giving parties with so many people."Venus complained, looking out the ballroom.

"How else would one give parties? With no one around?"asked Pluto.

"The other people aren't the problem."Mars said, looking around suspiciously.

Mercury looked weary.

"I don't think I will stay for the entire party."she said, getting up from her seat. "I'm pretty tired. Tired of waltzing!"she said.

"You've never liked dancing much."Venus said. "Unlike our Queen."

Queen Serenity was waltzing with King Endymion.

"I wish Kunzite was just as compliant as King Endymion."Venus pouted. "He thinks it's more important to attend the guests, than me!"

Kunzite was seeing to the guests, although he had been forbidden to dance with any of them by Venus.

"We're supposed to be celebrating."said Pluto.

She shook her head, smiling.

"I'm glad I'm not married."

"Look, Pluto, I found these in the garden."Small Lady walked up to Pluto, holding some flowers.

"They're lovely, Small Lady."Pluto answered, taking them from her.

Pluto chuckled, walking away from the ballroom, where the four Guardians were eyeing their husbands like hawks. She was sure that they wouldn't hear the end of it tonight. Sometimes she was glad that her duty as Guardian of the Gate of Time, kept her from getting married. She did not envy them sometimes, at least not the Shitenou. Probably the Guardians had an unpleasant time as well.
