AN: Well I can say I didn't appreciate being called a Fat Lard... but point taken I'm being lazy and not updating.. so here's another chapter. That and not having internet and other distractions for something like a week kind of helped.

Chapter One

"It's an interesting idea Ami-hime, but you've never really held much of an interest in the politics of other planets before. May I ask what sparked this idea?" Serenity, Queen of the Moon asked. She had long silver hair tied into two identical buns on the sides of her head and hair trailed out of them like two long silver ribbons. This hair style was worn by those of the Moon's royalty. No one else copied it. No one else, it seemed, even had hair long enough to pull it into such a style.

Ami smiled, "I haven't had a lot to fill my time with lately so I'm afraid I may have taken up the interest merely in search of something new to do," was the answer she gave not wanting to say the real reason. For though it was, in her mind, a perfectly good reason this quest for books she had undertaken was hers and hers alone. Besides many almost thought her fascination for books was an unhealthy one. Spending so much time in the library and not socializing nearly as much as the other princess' did often helped with that viewpoint.

The Queen nodded happily, "I'm glad you are finding interest in this sort of thing. It will help you later when you begin taking over more responsibilities in the court. In fact this is an excellent opportunity to have my daughter and the rest of her court learn the procedures and protocols required in this kind of situation. I'm sure they will appreciate learning this way then from a textbook."

The Mercurian bit the bottom of her lip. She wasn't sure she had wanted any real actual participation in making the treaty work. She just wanted one so she could go visit the Terran's planet and pillage their books.. 'although..' she thought, 'if we are involved we may be able to go to the Earth before the treaty is completely set and I won't have to wait nearly as long.' She smiled then, this was very acceptable to her. "I agree. With all the planets of our own system, excluding Earth, already having treaties and working well together before we were born the concept could be entirely lost upon us if we don't take this opportunity."

"Then it's settled. I'll send a messenger to the Terran's right away and see if this time around we can set up a treaty."

It wasn't that it hadn't been tried before, to have the Earth join the Silver Alliance. It was just that it had never succeeded past a first meeting between the Earth and the other planets. Disagreements usually erupted. The last time it had been attempted was just before the birth of the current generation of senshi. No attempt had been made since then.

None of the books Ami had read ever said why this was so but as far as she could tell it was because of the senshi themselves. For the Earth didn't have one, as far as anyone knew, so it was decided the planet would never be a threat. That and time between managing kingdoms was also being divided up on teaching and raising the next generation. For it was important that they would be strong. Though in a time of peace such as this their abilities as senshi were fairly useless and the training kept on as if it were tradition.

It was funny if you thought about it. People wish for long periods of peace because it cannot last forever. However if that time is too long then the skills that would have improved from a time of destruction would actually have been lost. So when another period of unrest actually occurs it may be the undoing of those who wished for peace in the first place. Yet at the same time a period of destruction cannot last forever either, or eventually nothing would exist.

Ami was about to leave the room when the Queen stopped her. "Oh don't go yet dear. I wanted to ask you something."

"Certainly Serenity-sama.. what is it?" she asked curious as to what else there could be to discuss.

"We haven't contacted the Earth in almost fifteen years so we don't know what technology they hold. All of the planets in the alliance, as you know, are connected with the telecommunications device designed by the Mercurians," the Queen began her explanation.

The Mercurian nodded, "Earth won't have one though, not being a part of the alliance. The only way to communicate with them will be to send a messenger to the planet with a written request to open up discussions once again."

"There's only one problem with sending just an ordinary messenger. You see in the Terran's culture they think people should talk face to face anyway. Also it'd be better if someone of equal status went to meet with them..." She was playing with her hands. One of those things she did now and then when she was nervous. Sometimes it was hard to see how the Princess could be related to the Queen but the truth was they were both really a lot a like. The only real difference was the Queen knew how to act and when.

"Yes so..." Ami's eyes widened. She suddenly understood, "you mean to say.. that one of us has to go?"

"Well actually since you brought up the idea, are the most responsible amongst the girls and you seem to have such a high interest in this anyway.. I really thought you'd like to do this first hand." The Queen smiled.

"I see..."

--------------------------------------------------------------

That's how it really began. That was how Ami, a shy quiet Mercurian ended up aboard a vessel to Earth. Truthfully she could have just teleported as Sailor Mercury but she didn't have the planets permission to be there yet and with all the animosity over the senshi anyway it was better that the Terrans not know she was one yet. She was actually glad she was the only one going. Makoto and Minako wanted to go to check out what Terran men were like. Usagi seemed fairly curious but somewhat withdrawn from it for some reason and Rei only rolled her eyes at her friends claiming all men needed to die.

At any rate in the end it seemed despite the fact that she really didn't think she'd end up going it was probably the best choice if they were going to get this done. She wouldn't have really cared but this was her mission afterall.

"Princess, we've been submitting a signal to the Earth but we haven't received anything in return... should we continue towards them?"

Ami nodded, "We'll have to. I know we could possibly be violating airspace but we don't know if they have a means to return to signal. Just approach cautiously and we should be ok."

Isn't it interesting how just when someone says 'we should be ok' or 'everything will be alright', how something bad will happen just at that exact moment? It certainly is and when the vessel reached into the Earths skies and the engine gave out it was not something on the Princess of Mercury's mind. On the Moon this wouldn't have been a problem, for one thing their gravity isn't the same. Ami really didn't care if she got to feel this first hand.

Some of crew were panicked, others pushing buttons trying to pull the ship up. They were going down so fast they were actually lifting off the floor of the vessel while it fell. The heat was beginning to become unbearable, they might as well have been in a speeding lava pit. The noise was hard on the ears and long before the actual crash everyone blacked out.

"Are you sure about this?" An exasperated sigh came from a blonde man.

"Yes the stars spoke of visitors and then there was the bright light that streaked down. We have to go find out what it's about." A brown haired man answered back. The two men were riding on horseback through a forested area. They were both dressed in grey uniforms each with a different colored trim to denote their station.

"We're relying on the information of the stars again? Shouldn't we have gotten Endymion for this?" It was slightly whiny, he really didn't want to be doing this.

"There's no time. Besides I don't know if we can trust these people. We don't know why they're coming here." His companion spoke slowing up his horse as they came upon the crash sight.

The vessel was not going to be flying anytime soon it seemed. Sparks were flying everywhere, some people were lying on the ground and it seemed a few trees had been slain as well.

"Neph... Kami they all look like guys. Why is it whenever I end up going with you to find something the stars have spoken about there aren't any hot girls?"

"Jadeite I've never promised you we would find hot girls. Do you really think their will be any females in a crash sight like this?" The brunette sighed, Jed was usually a lot of fun to hang around but he always had to go looking for women.

"I suppose not. It doesn't look like anyone's alive either." He kicked a body and it remained motionless.

"We'll have to get this cleaned up, find out where they came from and try contacting their planet about this. I wonder what was going on..."

"Hey! I found a punk chick!" Jadeite called from inside the ship.

"What are you doing in there? You don't know how stable it is..." Nephrite followed inside despite his own words. The inside of the ship was worse off then it appeared.

The blonde pulled a guy off of the girl, "Yeah... she looks like she might be breathing too, barely though. I think with this guy on her it might have been a cushion. She's not bad looking either, though I don't get the blue hair."

"Blue? Well let's not worry about that now. Let's get her back to the palace quickly and then send a proper search an rescue to check the others over."

Jadeite nodded, "Hey if she survives you think I'll get a kiss?"

Nephrite rolled his eyes, "Just come on already." He took the girl from him and carefully took her outside.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Blue eyes opened slowly. She was somewhere strange... and it was warm. Ami sat up. There were blankets wrapped around her. 'So that's why it's warm... where am I though?' There didn't seem to be anyone about. There wasn't much to this room either. A bed, some empty bookshelves and a desk. Well where ever she was this certainly wasn't part of the agenda. She stood up and moved to the door.

She opened it just slightly and peeked out into the hallway. There was no one there either... this was really strange. She stepped out into the hallway and walked down it cautiously. She came to another hallway with some very decorated doors. She tapped on one, no one answered. She turned the doorknob and was surprised that the door opened. She knew she shouldn't go in but... well it might help her figure out where she was. Ok so the real reason was she was just curious but we won't get into that.

It looked a lot like the room she'd been in but bigger and the shelves had books in them. Actually the books were probably the first thing she noticed. Forgetting everything else she went to the shelves and looked at the titles. They all seemed to be about history of some sort. She pulled one book down and opened it but found something very shocking. In fact her face went a beet red and she slammed the book shut. She looked at the title again... no it looked like a history book but there were pictures of woman in very compromising positions inside.. 'And I thought Minako's romance books were bad.'

Taking a few minutes to calm down she decided she would not pursue the books in this room. However this was pretty intriguing maybe she'd try another room instead.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"Did the search and rescue find anything?" An elderly man asked.

"I'm afraid that they didn't find any other survivors my King." A silver haired man answered. He was on bended knee while the King sat on his throne. "They did find something on the ship though. It seems to be lunarian, it has no weapons so we think they were on a mission of some sort or perhaps were escorting the girl we found. As far as we know though she doesn't seem lunarian."

"I see. Well then where is the girl now?"

"She's been placed in one of the guest rooms for now. The guards are checking in on her as they make their rounds. When she wakes we'll find out the situation from her. All we know for now was there seemed to be some sort of engine problem."

"Good, proceed as you've planned. When you go to question her take Prince Endymion with you. He's been acting a bit strange lately so I think a bit of a learning experience will help clear his head."

"As you wish my King." The plantinum blond replied, lifting his head.

"You're dismissed Kunzite."

He nodded, stood and then walked out of the room.

AN: Ok I already have a plan on what is going to happen but I'm just curious. If you review please tell me who you think will find her, where she will be and what the murder weapon is! heh.. I've been playing too much clue with my cousins. Ok you can skip the weapon part if you want but go ahead and answer that as well if you like.
