Author's Note: Hey people! I'm back with another chapter of ACAG! I really hope you guys read and review. I keep on checking everyday to see if I gotten any reviews but still I haven't seen any. In the last chapter, you got to meet all the princesses. You will finally get to meet the six princes. I will put all of the princesses' and the princes' names and ages in the next chapter so don't worry if you get confused. I was a little confused too when I read Darknight Squire's story.

Fanfic Shoutout: I would like to give a shoutout to Nada1224, author of the story Blood and Soul. I absolutely enjoyed that story a lot.

Summary: The princes are introduced and two particular princes get in trouble for fighting.

Chapter 2: Memories (R):

The princesses joined Neo-Queen Serenity out in the courtyard, waiting for the arrival of the princes. "Good morning, your highness." The planetary princesses greeted the queen with curtsies.

"Good morning, princesses," Neo-Queen Serenity smiled in return.

"Hey, mom," Rini said. Tsunami shook her head at Rini's lack of politeness.

"Hey to you too," Serenity responded, rolling her eyes slightly. "Are you excited for your father's return?" Rini nodded her head energetically. Even though they hadn't been gone for long, she missed her father very much.

The princesses chatted among themselves as they waited patiently for the arrivals. While they talked, Yume began to hear noises off in the distance "Does anybody here those noises too?" she asked. Everyone stopped talking and listened carefully. They started to hear the noises too.

"I recognize those noises! They must be the horses! The princes are back!" Kimiko squealed as she started hopping up and down.

"Girl, you sure do miss Aeneas a lot. I never heard you squeal like that ever since he asked you to be his girlfriend." Tsunami smirked.

Kimiko stopped hopping immediately, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks. "It's not just Aeneas!" she protested. "I miss Kenzo too since he's my twin and all."

"Yeah sure you miss Kenzo," Tsunami said sarcastically, rolling her eyes a bit.

"Why don't you just shut up?" Kimiko snapped, her temper returning again. Tsunami scoffed and looked away from Kimiko. "They're getting closer." She was right; the horses were getting louder and louder as they approached the entrance to the courtyard. Soon enough, Rini was able to see all the horses in view.

In the front of the pack, King Endymion sat on his horse wearing his usual royal riding attire. Even on a horse, Rini's father still looked majestic and regal in every way. Beside him on another horse rode King Adonis II. He was a handsome man with gorgeous sandy blond hair and warm, caramel coloured eyes, a living Greek Adonis. He always attended the princes and the king on their travels just so King Endymion wouldn't have a heavy burden on his shoulders.

Directly behind them rode the seventeen year old prince of Uranus, Hiroshi. Hiroshi was very masculine and looked similar to Queen Haruka in some ways. Sometimes, Haruka would wear the same clothes as him at formal occasions just to tease and ridicule him. He had the same sandy blond hair as Haruka and those cobalt blue eyes. He had a very muscular built and stood at about six feet. Hiroshi also had this permanent smirk on his face which gave him a charismatic yet arrogant look. He was proud and always found chances to flaunt his good looks.

Beside him rode Prince Takemara of Pluto, the only child of Queen Setsuna. His deep emerald hair was cut short and his bangs were swept to the side, revealing dark crimson eyes. He had a pretty lean body with long limbs and sat up tall and regal on his horse, just like a king.

After them rode Maxine's older brother, Prince Maximillian, who was turning fourteen later in the year. Maximillian, called Max by his friends sometimes, was really strong for his age, a similarity he shared with all Jovians. He was nearly as big as an ox in build, giving him an intimidating appearance. Luckily, he was a kind and sensitive guy. He had straight, deep chestnut hair in a formal short haircut but his eyes were a hazel color that he gained from his father. Prince Aeneas of Venus, age fourteen, sat on his own horse beside Maximillian. Aeneas looked more like his father with his short sandy blond hair and general facial features. But he had gotten his crystal blue eyes from his mother.

Kimiko's twin brother Kenzo rode on the other side Maximillian, an action taken to avoid bickering between Aeneas and Kenzo. He had the same hair color as Queen Rei and Kimiko but grew his hair out slightly long. His eyes weren't dark violet like theirs though; they were a soft brown. He inherited that from his father. Riding alongside him was the final and youngest prince at age twelve and Yume's younger brother, Uratoh. He looked similar to his mother which he pretty much hated. Although he had blue-green eyes like his father and his hair was styled short, his overall facial structure was slightly feminine. Once, one of his teachers thought he was a girl so when he asked to go to the restroom, she instinctively pointed to the girls' restroom which made the whole class laugh. His mother pointed out to him constantly that masculinity was just a societal concept and that having "feminine" facial features didn't make him less a male but Uratoh was just too stubborn to ever agree with her. Uratoh was very defensive about his masculinity and often got into fights to defend his pride.

The men finally reached the courtyard. They dismounted their horses and handed the reins off to servants who were ready to take the horses to their stables. Endymion walked forward to Neo-Queen Serenity and wrapped his arms around her. "My dear wife, it's very pleasant to see you again." King Endymion smiled at his wife once he pulled back to examine her face.

Serenity smiled back and said, "Likewise, it is very nice to have you back."

"Maxy!" Ariel shouted as she ran towards Maximillian. She jumped into his arms who twirled her around in a circle. Ariel then brought his face towards hers in a light kiss. Rini couldn't help but watch, amused. She thought it was funny seeing tiny Ariel all wrapped around big Maximillian like that.

"I guess it's safe to assume that you missed me a lot then." Maximillian smiled when they broke apart.

"And she said I would be all over Aeneas," Kimiko mumbled under her breath. By the way, where is Aeneas? she thought. She just saw him a minute ago but he disappeared before she could greet him. Kimiko shrugged, knowing that he couldn't be far. She headed over to where her brother was to welcome him back.

Takemara strode over to Rini who was watching everyone being reunited with their siblings and partners. "Hello, Pinku!" Takemara said cheerfully. Rini groaned; Pinku was Takemara's occasional nickname for her and it had gotten really annoying over the years. Still, she was happy to see him because he was one of her best friends. She reached over and gave him a light hug.

"Nice to see you haven't outgrown using that nickname," she said jokingly.

Takemara laughed. "Well, I think it suits you," he reasoned. Rini shook her head furiously, her pink pig tails moving back and forth due to the motion. Takemara gave her a look that said I rest my case. Nonetheless, he decided to drop the subject. "So are you excited for your birthday coming up at the end of the month?" Takemara asked.

Rini's face immediately brightened at the mention of her birthday. "Duh! Why wouldn't I be? I mean, I finally get to turn fourteen like most of you guys. Plus it's my mother's birthday too," Rini said. Yes, June 30th is the date Neo-Princess Serenity turns fourteen. Her family had been planning the party for months. Rini thought about the amount of dedication and effort that had been put into the soon approaching event. She really hoped the party would meet up to her high expectations and the rest of the solar system's. Rini began filling in Takemara with all the details about the party.

Tsunami was listening along with Yume as Uratoh told them about their trip when Hiroshi strolled towards her. "Hey sis! I know you probably missed me so much. These past few days must have been hard on you," said Hiroshi as he greeted Tsunami.

She scoffed at her half-sibling. "Yeah and I bet all the girls here did too," Tsunami retorted. Hiroshi was known to be a player, dating girls left and right. He loved to flirt and never actually dated a girl for a long period of time. As much as he was a flirt, he would never flirt with any of the princesses. If he did, that would be just weird and wrong; they were all like little sisters to him.

"Just wait until they discover I'm back," Hiroshi remarked with a playful grin. Tsunami rolled her eyes. He had so much arrogance; it really annoyed her at times.

As everyone else continued talking with each other and sharing stories about their activities, Kimiko couldn't stop wondering where Aeneas was. "Okay, I give up! Where's Aeneas? He was just riding the horses with you all," she wondered.

"Aeneas said he has a surprise in stored-." Before King Endymion could finish his sentence, a gust of wind whipped around them. Suddenly, Kimiko was picked off from the ground by two slender yet strong arms.

Kimiko grinned widely when she found herself staring into the eyes of her boyfriend "Aeneas, you're here!" Kimiko exclaimed. She then leaned in and pressed her lips against his. While they were kissing, Aeneas was circling around in the air. Venusian men had a special quality about them: they all had wings. Unfortunately, the females did not but still carry the genes to produce sons with wings. There had been a time when a girl was reported to have been a boy but there were miscalculations and ended up being a girl with wings. Only once in Venus history has that ever happened which made girls with wings extremely rare and highly unlikely. When Rini asked her mother about it, she said that it happened before their time and nothing more. Rini found that strange.

"Aw, they look so happy," Maxine said dreamily as she watched her two friends. She didn't have a boyfriend but she always wanted one. Her parents obviously thought she was still too young for one but that didn't stop her from fantasizing.

Kenzo turned to witness the scene, a very disapproving scowl appearing on his face. There was no way he was going to allow this crazy antic to continue for a second longer. "Hey Fairy Boy! Stop making out with my sister!" Kenzo yelled, throwing in his personal name for Aeneas. He soon realized that Aeneas was ignoring him on purpose and decided to take a more violent form of action. Kenzo picked up a rock and hurled it towards Aeneas and it hit him hard, catching him off guard. That distraction caused Aeneas to lose his grip on Kimiko and she fell out of his arms. She screamed as she fell while Aeneas soared down to try and grab her. On the ground, Maximillian ran forward just in time to catch Kimiko with Aeneas arriving nearly a second later.

"Thanks Max, I owe you one," Kimiko told him as she jumped down from Maximillian's arms.

"Anytime, Kimiko. I was just being nice," Maximillian said simply.

"You're stupid, Kenzo! Did you even stop to think that hurting me will hurt Kimiko in the process?" Aeneas shouted as he stormed towards Kenzo after landing on the ground. He folded his wings behind his back the way men on Venus do when their wings weren't in use and glared at Kenzo with furious eyes.

"Don't call me stupid! I'm way stronger than you so you better shut that mouth of yours or else!" Kenzo shot back as he gave Aeneas an angry glare of his own.

"Oh yeah? Let's see if you can break out of this, tough guy!" Aeneas grabbed Kenzo and pulled him into a tight headlock. Kenzo squirmed and tried to escape the headlock. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get out of that tight grip Aeneas had on him. "Not so tough now," Aeneas sneered.

"Take your arms off of me, Fairy Boy!" Kenzo growled, still trying to get out of the tight hold. Curse his martial arts lessons, he thought sourly.

"Only if you admit I'm stronger and stop calling me Fairy Boy!" Aeneas argued.

"Never!" shouted Kenzo. The more he kept on resisting, the tighter Aeneas' grip got.

"That's enough!" yelled King Endymion. The two boys stopped immediately and Aeneas let Kenzo free. King Endymion didn't raise his voice like that unless he was extremely angry. Their friends watched the scene in surprised silence. "We just returned from our trip and were having a lovely reunion and you two turned it into some kind of war scene," he said loudly. Rini was surprised; she had never seen her father this angry before.

"Nice job Aeneas, you made King Endymion mad," Kenzo muttered harshly under his breath.

"Well it would have never started if you hadn't thrown that rock in the first place," Aeneas muttered back with his arms crossed.

"Silence!" Endymion interrupted their bickering with his commanding voice. "Since you two don't know how to be one, I will make you work together as one. The servants of the Palace have been busy for months, preparing for the big birthday party of Neo-Queen Serenity and Neo-Princess Serenity. Therefore, I have decided to give them a well needed break. Your punishment will be taking their places as servants until June 30th. Your jobs are to clean the palace's toilets every Saturday, clean the stables every other Tuesday, clean the tables in the courtyard, and mow the front lawn before June 30th." The two couldn't help but groan at every chore King Endymion listed. How would they be able to finish all those tasks before the end of the month?

"That's not fair!" both of them protested in unison.

"It is indeed very fair. It will teach you a lesson of how to co-operate with each other. Furthermore, if you do not do the work in time, you will have those jobs permanently so I suggest you start immediately. I am doing this for your own good," Endymion finished. The boys opened their mouths to protest once again but Endymion raised his hand, indicating the conversation was over. After that, he and Neo-Queen Serenity walked into the palace to finish up the last of the planning for the party. King Adonis gave his son a disapproving stare before following the other two royals inside.

"You guys really got my father mad," Rini said to Aeneas and Kenzo once her parents were gone.

Kenzo was about to say some defensive remark when Kimiko suddenly exploded in rage. "Why can't you guys stop fighting? I am tired of you two and your stupid fights!" Kimiko shouted. Before anyone could stop her, she stormed away with angry tears brimming in her eyes. She couldn't stand it anymore. She hated the fact that her brother and her boyfriend hated each other.

Aeneas called after his girlfriend several times but it was clear she wasn't coming back. "Just great," he sighed. "Look what you did, Kenzo!" Aeneas snapped.

"Me? What about you, Fairy Boy? You're the one who grabbed me into a headlock!" Kenzo retorted.

"Don't make me do it again, idiot!" threatened Aeneas.

"I'd love to see you try."

Before they could start throwing punches, Maximillian grabbed Aeneas' hands and Takemara grabbed Kenzo's hands.

"Stop acting so immature before King Endymion comes back and punishes you guys further!" Maximillian shouted at them. This time, Rini gasped. Hearing Maximillian yell was just about as rare as her father yelling.

"Yeah! We're all tired of the constant fighting," Takemara added in as he released Kenzo's hands. The two boys suddenly felt ashamed after seeing the irritated and disapproving expressions on their friends' faces. Tsunami let out a huff before spinning on her heel and heading into the palace. The other princes and princesses followed behind her closely. Rini gave the two a look before shaking her head and following the rest inside. They decided to go to the Crystal Lounge to take their minds off the recent events. They found Kimiko there once they entered, rubbing her slightly puffy eyes a little.

"Kimiko, are you okay?" Rini approached Kimiko and placed her arm around Kimiko's shoulder.

"Yeah I'm fine," Kimiko replied. "I just want to forget about the whole thing."

"Well, maybe talking about our trip will clear your mind a bit," Takemara suggested. Kimiko nodded eagerly as well as the other princesses. The group spread out among the couches and chairs.

"Now tell us everything about your trip." Rini urged them on with an expecting smile.

Uratoh took the liberty of starting off. "The whole trip was pretty cool. We spent most of our time swimming," Uratoh said.

"Yeah and there were many pretty girls there." Hiroshi smirked. Tsunami punched her half-brother on the arm and rolled her eyes. After talking about the trip, the subject expanded to fun moments in general. Everyone shared their own experiences and even stopped thinking about the huge fight Aeneas and Kenzo just had.

"Rini, remember the time we went to Venus together?" Maxine asked. Rini's lips spread out into a smile as she thought about the time all the princes and princesses went to Venus when they were younger. She remembered that she had fun but for some reason, her memory was a little clouded.

"Rini!" a sandy blonde haired girl exclaimed, waving her arms back and forth excitedly in the air. Rini grinned and dashed forward to her friend. "I'm so glad you came!" The girl smiled as she wrapped her arms around her good friend.

"It's nice to see you too! I missed you," Rini said to her. The girl nodded as she released Rini. She then hugged the rest of the princesses with a huge smile on her face.

"It's so great that all of you are here," the girl grinned. She pointed to the beach nearest to their current position. "The boys are at the beach. Follow me!" The six girls followed the girl who guided them to the beach. When they reached there, they could see five boys already in the crystal blue water and having a great time.

"Hey boys, get out!" Kimiko shouted at them from the shoreline. The boys ignored her and the other girls as they continued swimming and splashing each other in the water. The girls all shared a mischievous look and ran into the water to join the boys. The girls began splashing all the boys in synchronization and didn't spare any mercy. The boys splashed back in retaliation, creating a fun atmosphere.

The following days they spent on Venus were focused on going to all the main attractions of Venus and playing to their hearts' content. Everyone was extremely miserable when the time came for the five girls and the four boys to return home. Aeneas and the girl had to stay behind since Venus was their home planet. They all said their goodbyes and the girl gave another bright smile to Rini before the girls and boys left for the terminal.

Rini played her memory in her mind once more and quickly became confused. She couldn't seem to figure out the identity of the unknown girl in the memory but Rini remembered treating her as if she was her best friend. She also noticed there was another boy with them but she couldn't remember him either. She wanted to ask the others if they knew but she didn't want any of them to think she was crazy so she just kept quiet. However, what Rini didn't know was that the other girls and boys who were on the trip were thinking about their foggy memories of the trip too. They too remembered that there were two more people with them. Who could they be?

/*/*/*/

The girl with the sandy blonde hair stared out her window. She looked at her home planet and sighed at the familiar and beautiful landscape. June 30th, she repeated endlessly in her head. She knew that the day was fast approaching. She also knew that something great was going to happen on that day and she smiled. Even though her mother still had some doubts, she allowed her daughter to have her freedom again. Her mother knew this was a very risky move but she wanted her daughter to have a better life and not feel like a prisoner anymore and separated from the rest of her friends.

The girl walked over to her desk where she had a picture displayed there that was taken a couple of years ago. "Just a couple of more weeks," she said quietly. "Wait for me, Rini."

A/N: Pretty nice don't you think? Rini's and Neo-Queen Serenity's party will commence in the next chapter. Don't forget to leave a review. Tell me what you liked and what I can improve on. Thanks!

EDIT:

Again, this is one of the chapters that will be more changed than the others. I wanted to describe the princes' appearances better than I did previously and I also felt the need to change Takemara's nickname for Rini. I also changed Aeneas's father because the previous one was Darknight Squire's and I didn't really agree with the father that much but I didn't know what else to do at the time so I just left it. Also, I didn't know what a consort was for the longest time and I don't understand why I never searched the term so I changed him into a normal king. Another thing I didn't agree with really anymore was Takemara technically being Endymion's son by Setsuna (artificially). I didn't mention it in this chapter but I did a little foreshadowing here for the revelation that comes in a later chapter. I took that little part in this chapter out and I plan on taking it out in the later chapter as well so past readers, do not think any longer that he was born that way.
