One Year..
Disclaimer: The characters belong to the Goddess Naoko Takeuchi and DiC. The original fic idea belonged to Jennie Galloway aka Moon Venus Power who wrote most of the original. I simply edited and when we stopped working on it, asked for total creative control. After a point, all of it will be mine. ^_~
Lita, Amy, Mina and Raye sat about Serenity's
chambers, giggling and talking as they watched
Serenity pack. They had completed packing days ago but
Serenity procrastinated and was hurriedly packing. The
five friends and Queen Serenity were leaving the Moon
for a trip to Earth. Their stay was to be long - a
year in order for Serenity and the Earth prince
Endymion to get to know each other.
"So what are we going to get the guys with this year,"
Mina asked as she sat on Serenity's big bed.
Raye, sitting on a big plush chair beside the bed,
propped her feet on the bed and smiled. "We'll think
of something when we get there."
"They get us every year," Amy said from behind a book.
"Think we'll win the 'prank war' this time?"
Serenity put a load of clothes in the trunk beside her
bed. "We better, Lita. But that's a good question.
What's the plans this time, guys?"
Mina's eyebrows raised. "Plan?"
"You don't have a plan?"
"Not yet..."
"I've got something," Amy interrupted. "Why don't we
just boobytrap their training room?"
"That's great! Amy, you're a genius," Lita grinned.
Amy smiled. "So I've been told."
Raye grabbed a pillow and threw it at her blue haired
friend. "Smart alleck."
A while later, the five girls giggled as they met
Queen Serenity in the throne room, brushing their
messed hair and smoothing their gowns.
"You're late."
Serenity smiled and smoothed down her hair as she
moved to kiss her mother's cheek. "Sorry about that,
Mother. A wayward pillow kept us up."
Queen Serenity mock frowned. "No excuses, we're late
as it is."
Meanwhile on Earth, Endymion paced before his mother
impatiently. "Mother, are you sure our being here is
absolutely necessary? Our presence won't get them here
any faster." Behind him, his four generals, Malachite,
Jadeite, Nephlyte and Zoicite, nodded.
"No," Queen Gaia stated calmly. "But it is customary
for the prince - you, my dear - and his guards to be
here for the arrival of his betrothed and her court."
"Ha! Betrothed. To HER! I hate that girl." Endmyion
mumbled under his breath.
Gaia elbowed him in the ribs. "I heard that. Now
behave. Make the best of it. Here they are!" A bright
light shone and Queen Serenity appeared. "Hello,
Serenity."
Queen Serenity smiled and embraced her friend. "Gaia.
My friend. It's been a long time."
"It certainly has. We've been so anxious to see you,
my son especially." Endymion cut his eyes at Gaia and she
smiled innocently.
"Toast for brains!"
"Meatball Head!"
Queen Serenity smiled wearily as Serenity and her court
appeared. "That is my daughter and her court."
Gaia laughed. "How can we forget?"
"I don't know why I travel anywhere with you!"
"Girls," Queen Serenity said loudly, interrupting the
fight.
Raye opened her mouth to yell back at Serenity but
froze and grinned, she and Serenity blushing.
Serenity was the first to recover. "I'm sorry, Mother.
Raye almost turned me to toast."
"Only because I thought I saw something!"
"Yeah, that something just happened to be ME! I swear
you're trying to kill me on purpose!"
Raye narrowed her eyes. "And I swear you're trying to
drive me insane!!"
Queen Serenity frowned. "Apologize to each other," she
said sternly.
Raye crossed her arms. "I'm not apologizing."
"Neither am I," Serenity replied.
Queen Serenity raised an eyebrow. "Girls, behave like
ladies. You may be here for a year but you will still
be guests. You were taught properly. Now show it.
Don't embarrass me."
Mina grinned as Queen Serenity and Queen Gaia left.
"Notice how she looked at you and Raye when she said
that?"
"Shut up, Mina."
"It's true, you know."
Raye pouted. "We don't need it from you too, Lita."
"As much as I want to defend you guys," Amy said,
"Mina and Lita are right. That was not appropriate
behavior."
Endymion cleared his throat and the girls turned,
finally realizing he and his generals' presence.
"Welcome to Earth." Endymion sighed. "No need for
introductions so my generals and I would like to
escort you to your respective rooms."
