. The next morning Serena awoke with a start. She had dreamt of her and Darien intimate together in a bedroom that she did not recognize. Even now when she was awake she could still feel his hands all over her body. Why did she dream of him and why did it have to be that kind of dream?

"Princess you're up!" Molly exclaimed as she entered the room.

"Yes I had an," Serena paused to think of how she was going to explain, "active dream."

"Well hurry and make yourself decent," Molly ordered as she threw one of Serena's robes on the bed. "Prince Darien demands for you to meet him for breakfast."

"He what?" Serena shouted appalled. "How dare he demand anything from me!"

"Well you can tell him all this during breakfast. I'm not about to have his wrath on me when I tell him you're not coming." Serena and Molly just glared at each other. It was a match to see who wound yield to the other first. Serena held her ground, but Molly wasn't one to back down from a fight. Serena quickly realized that there wasn't a chance in hell that she was going to win. The woman was just too stubborn. Even more stubborn then her!

"Fine I'll go," Serena yielded crossing her arms.

"I knew you would," Molly responded with a smirk. "Now put on the robe and get going." Serena rolled her eyes as she put on the pink silk robe.

"I'm taking my time walking there," Serena stated defiantly as she exited her chambers. Slowly she made her way to the dining room. How dare he demand her presents for breakfast. Where does he come off? So what if he's a Prince. She's a Princess of the Moon and should be treated as such.

"You're late," a male's voice said. Serena was instantly pulled out of her thoughts. "Why are you late?"

"My reasons are of my own," Serena replied confidently. "I must say I'm shocked that you were able to get out of bed this morning."

"Alcohol doesn't affect me like that anymore," Darien informed with a smug smirk. "It has been a long time since I've woken up with a hangover."

"See to it that you control yourself next time you drink when I'm around."

"Excuse me?" Darien questioned then advanced towards her.

"Prince Darien, I am the royal princess of the Moon and you will behave towards me accordingly," Serena stated boldly. Darien just stared at her in amusement. She was definitely a fiery little sprite.

"You want me to treat you accordingly?" Darien asked with a glint in his eyes.

"Yes," Serena answered. "I am a princess of the Moon and should be treated as such."

"Are you sure?" Darien asked taking a step closer to her.

"Absolutely."

"All right," Darien said smoothly and with a speed Serena had never seen before in her life he lifted and slammed her against the wall. Serena just stared at him in shock as Darien leaned in close to her ear. "So you really want to know what people of the Earth would do to you? Princess you know the relationship between your planet and mine isn't the best to say the least. My people hate your kind Princess and so to treat you as you deserve would mean that I treat you how ever I please."

"What?" Serena said in shock. She could feel Darien's words vibrate off her neck.

"Serena if I were to really treat you as my people believe you deserve to be treated," Darien paused to glance down at her body, "I would have taken you last night." Serena's eyes went wide as she felt Darien's lips on her neck. He nibbled lightly on her neck as he pressed himself against her.

"Prince Darien please," Serena begged though it almost sounded more like a moan then a beg. Darien smiled to himself then slowly released Serena back to her feet.

"Princess I will have you and on that day it will not be I who will be coming to you, but rather you coming to me." And with that said Darien left the dining room.

"You pig!" Serena shouted to Darien's retreating form as she fixed her gown. "Why that arrogant jerk! He thinks he's so great!"

"Princess!" Molly shouted as she came running into the room. "Princess I have great news!"

"What is it Molly?" Serena asked instantly forgetting about her spat with the Prince.

"Princess Lita of Jupiter is here to visit you."

"She is what?" Serena shouted in disbelief.

"The princess of Jupiter is here in the library waiting for you."

"Why didn't she send word that she was coming?"

"Do you really think I would know something like that?" Molly asked angrily as she hotly put her hands on her hips. "Now go before that Jupiter princess gets mad at me for taking too long to fetch you!" Serena smiled warmly to Molly then took off towards the library. She wildly pushed open the library doors as she entered before hurling herself into Princess Lita's arms.

"Lita!" Serena shouted happily.

"Oh Serena it's so good to see you," Lita greeted with as much happiness as Serena. The two hugged for a few moments before separating and sitting in two chairs. "So tell me how have you been?"

"I've been better," Serena answered as she rolled her eyes and began telling Lita of all that has happened since she arrived. The two talked for hours chit chatting about what each other has missed over the few days

"Oh my goodness Serena you should have been there!" Lita laughed. "There is Ami on the hanging with her skirt over her head! Rei, Mina, and I had to sit down because we were laughing so hard. I mean what are the odds that Ami would fall from a ladder and get her foot caught so that she is hanging up-side-down with her skirt over her head?"

"Oh my, I wish I could have been there for that one," Serena commented as she wiped a tear from her eye. "That is priceless. So Lita, why didn't you send word telling me you were coming?"

"Well it wouldn't be a very good surprise if I told you I was coming would it?"

"I guess not," Serena agreed smiling. After another hour of talking Molly came in to announce that Lita's room was ready and that her luggage was already there. Serena and Lita rose to follow Molly to the room and to Serena's delight it was the one next to her room. Lita quickly got settled in and the two went for a tour of the palace. Serena showed Lita where everything was. Lita was very amazed how beautiful the palace was. Granted to her it didn't match up to her own palace, but it was still beautiful in its own right. After taking in a late lunch the strolled around the outside to get some fresh air.

"Hey do you hear that?" Lita asked stopping in her tracks to listen.

"What?" Serena asked stopping a few steps ahead of her.

"Why do I hear swords clashing?"

"Oh that's probably Prince Darien and his generals practicing," Serena replied rolling her eyes after mentioning Darien's name.

"I think you might like this Prince Darien," Lita said teasingly.

"Please," Serena scoffed. "I loath that man."

"Well either way I feel like a duel," Lita stated as stepped in front of Serena. "Come on!" she shouted as she lifted her skirt up to run. Serena quickly follow suit and ran after her. Within moments they were in the training room where Nephrite and Kunzite were practicing their sword fighting. Jadeite instantly noticed them entering the room and went to greet them.

"Good day Jadeite," Serena greeted happily.

"Good day Princess Serena and who might this lovely woman be?" Jadeite asked gesturing to Lita.

"This is my good friend Princess Lita of Jupiter. She will be staying with me for a little while. Lita this is one of Prince Darien's generals Jadeite."

"It's a pleasure meeting you," Lita greeted holding out her hand. Jadeite gladly took it and kissed her lightly on the hand.

"Princess Lita you say?" Jadeite asked with a little mischief in his voice.

"Yes," Lita answered. "I would like to duel with one of you."

"Oh this is too perfect," Jadeite said smiling then turned to the two men already dueling. "Hey Nephrite, come here!" Nephrite and Kunzite immediately ceased their fighting so Nephrite could walk over. "Nephrite, this young woman would like to duel with you." Nephrite looked Lita over then chuckled to himself.

"I don't duel with ladies," he stated amusingly. "I am sorry my lady, but I believe that dueling with me would be pointless. You see I only duel with serious competitors."

"And you don't think I'm serious?" Lita asked getting a little angry at Nephrite's arrogance.

"My lady, don't be mad. It is just that fighting you would be pointless for someone like me."

"Pointless!" Lita shouted then pulled out transformation stick. Roughly she pushed Nephrite out of her away and headed for the middle of the dueling circle. "We'll see how pointless this duel really is!"

"What harm could it do?" Serena asked Nephrite with a mischievous grin. Nephrite sighed heavily and walked to meet Lita at the middle of the circle.

"You are wasting my time woman," Nephrite said as he past her to his spot in the circle.

"Just shut up and bring out your sword!" Lita spat back. Nephrite casually pulled his sword out and stared at Lita with annoyance.

"Ready woman?" Nephrite asked in obvious annoyance.

"One second!" Lita shouted then closed her eyes and whispered the three words that summoned the power that she alone could summon. "Jupiter Crystal Power." In a flash of green light and lightning Princess Lita transformed into Sailor Jupiter. Nephrite stared in shock at the scantily clad warrior in a white body suit and green mini skirt holding a large sword adorn with green gems all over the handle. The gorgeous brunette went from a taller slender princess to an Amazon woman of strength in moments. Her jade green eyes held much strength and determination that Nephrite could have lost himself in and her bouncy brown curls were now up in a high pony tail showing off her swan like neck. She was the poster of Nephrite's perfect woman. Nephrite's shock was only allowed to last a moment before Sailor Jupiter came attacking. Naturally Nephrite recovered from his state of shock quickly and efficiently blocked Sailor Jupiter's attack.

"So you're a Sailor Soldier?" Nephrite asked as he went on the offensive.

""I am Sailor Jupiter, first daughter and princess to King Zeus of Jupiter and future queen of Jupiter. Surprised?" Lita retorted back smiling evilly as she blocked his attack.

"A little," Nephrite admit stepping back a few steps then attacked again. "You are not what I expected."

"And what did you expect?" Sailor Jupiter asked as she sidestepped his attack and suddenly attacked him back. Nephrite quickly blocked her sword and managed to grab her wrist effectively pulled her to him. She stared up at him boldly in an almost challenging way.

"What is your name?"

"My name is Lita." Nephrite looked at her a little shocked at her answered. She was the woman Serena had mentioned. Nephrite merely smiled as he took in the rest of her then stared right back into her eyes. Her bright green eyes were so aggressive and beautiful with the amount of strength they held within them.

"You really are a woman after my own heart," he said before letting her go. Lita simply smiled at him before turning to kick his legs out from under him. Nephrite landed on his back with a thud and quickly found Lita's sword pointed at his neck.

"You my good sir would be wise to think before aggravating a princess and warrior of Jupiter."

"And why is that?" Nephrite asked smiling even with the sword at his neck. Sailor Jupiter carefully removed the sword from his neck then bent down beside him.

"Because you don't want to deal with my bad side," she answered with a smirk. Nephrite suddenly began laughing as he sat up.

"What if it is your bad side I do want to deal with?" he asked seductively as he brushed his hand across her outer thigh. Lita blushed slightly before quickly recovering. Confidently she grabbed his hand and led it slightly higher up her thigh.

"I'll hold you to that," she said before getting up to head back over to Serena and Jadeite, all the while transforming back to her original form.

"I think Nephrite's in love," Jadeite whispered to Serena before Lita reached them. "So did you enjoy the duel?"

"He's not bad," Lita said as she looked back at Nephrite whom was still on the ground staring at her. "Serena you and I should duel sometime. I can't even remember the last time we did."

"Serena you can sword fight?" Jadeite asked a little amazed.

"A little," she answered humbly then noticed that Darien hadn't moved from his seat across the room. He looked mad and she knew why. She and Lita had interrupted the men's dueling and now she and Lita held the attention of two of his generals.

"Is there a reason good sir why you are staring at my princess with such a cruel face?" Lita shouted at Darien. Apparently she too had noticed Prince Darien staring. Darien simply smirked and walked towards the two young ladies and his general.

"My dear Princess Lita," Darien began with sarcasm oozing from his words, "you have interrupted my general's important training. I do not wish for your presents here or anywhere near my training grounds, so if you would please kindly leave so we can get back to our business." Lita just stared at him absolutely appalled. How dare he speak to a Jupiter royal like that! If he were on Jupiter he would be beaten for his insolence.

"Why you self absorbed egotistical little bitch!" Lita shouted angrily. All the generals, including Serena, just stared at her in shock. Had she just really called the Earth prince a little bitch? Darien just looked at her with amusement. She certainly was brave to call him that on his planet. The look quickly turned into laughter. For the Earth Prince, Lita was almost as amusing as Serena. Unfortunately though his laughing only caused Lita to become angrier. Seeing the look of kill in Lita's eyes, Nephrite quickly rushed over to her and caught her just as she flung herself towards Darien in attack. Luckily Nephrite had caught her before your claws could touch Darien.

"Whoa Lita," he said as flung her over his shoulder. "Now that would not be a good idea."

"Let me go!" Lita shouted as she kicked and hit Nephrite on the back with her fist. Nephrite winced slightly at each blow. Even though she was a woman, she was a damn strong woman. "I'm going to kill that insolent prince!"

"Come on Lita," Serena said as she escorted her and Nephrite away, "let's go see the Earth horses. You will like them very much." Amazingly Lita instantly forgot about her anger and focus her attention on Serena.

"They have horses on this planet?" she asked a little amazed as she settled herself on Nephrite's shoulder. "Are they like the one on my planet or yours?"

"They are bigger then the ones on my planet, but the same as yours. Except the horses on Jupiter are beefier looking."

"You like horses Lita?" Nephrite asked as he carried her. He was rather amazed that Lita didn't mind this barbaric act.

"Very much," she answered as she lifted herself off his shoulder to look at him. "I'm an excellent rider."

"You and I should go riding sometime," Nephrite offered as he looked up at her. For being such a tall amazon like woman she didn't weigh very much.

"I would like that."

"Damn, why don't you two just get married already," Serena commented loudly. Naturally this broke Nephrite and Lita's attention away from each other and the two just looked at Serena blushing slightly. "Oh like you two didn't already think about it," she said rolling her eyes as the three continued their stroll to the stables.
