"Please, Venus?" Serenity asked pleading her senshi, whom was acting as her warden at the moment. It has been over a week since her mother had found out about her trips to the Earth. Her initial reaction was keeping the princess in her quarters with all the senshi guarding.
Since each senshi was a princess for her home planet, the queen had allowed them to each leave and take shifts. Now it was Venus's turn again and she was being annoyed by the princess. Serenity was actually glad that Venus was back. She knew how to work her.
"No. Your mother would kill me!"
"She said I couldn't go to the Earth. She never said you couldn't!"
"Not a chance. You don't need to be communicating with those kind of people anyway." Venus made it sound like they had some kind of disease or something.
"How can The Goddess of Love stand in the way of love? That doesn't seem right, does it?"
"You keep saying that like you think it is going to change my mind. I am the leader of the senshi that is supposed to be protecting you, what would it look like if I just gave into your every whim?" Venus sounded tough but Serenity could tell that she wasn't lecturing her, she was lecturing herself. "Besides, have you even met him enough to fall in love with him? Are you sure it isn't just and infatuation?"
If Venus didn't know any better, she would think that Serenity was actually thinking about the question that was just asked, and not trying to find another way to work her. "Your right. It is probably just that." Venus almost let out a sigh of relief. "Although, how would I know if you stand in the way? Just deliver the letter, and you are done. The Earth I even near Venus. You could do it on your way and nobody would be the wiser."
"Princess," Venus sighed. "Even if I wanted to do this, how would I get the letter to him?"
Serenity smiled. She knew she had Venus right where she wanted her! "I am sure there is some where you can set it where you won't be noticed, but it will. I won't put anything identifying myself on the envelope, but I will make sure it is addressed to him. Once he reads it, he will know who it's from…."
"What if," Venus cut her off, "one of his guards finds it and opens it?"
"We will just hope that they won't."
That was the princess. She had a plan, but didn't think too far ahead. Then again, there was never any reason for her to go into that kind of training just yet. Even when she would become queen, she would have her advisers and of course the senshi to help them.
Venus then started to look at her with excitement in her eyes. "I bet we can actually pull this off!"
THE EARTH
Kunzite was outside taking a well-deserved break. It was a pleasant evening and he had worked so hard with the prince and everyone else conducting the takeover of the moon. He would practice swordsmanship with the prince until it was time to go over strategies, then of course courting with Lady Beryl. She still seemed more interested in him than he in her, but the plan was for them to be married before the attack. They have been on alert since the Princess of the Moon had appeared on the Earth. Endymion was acting different since as well. The Prince insisted he was alright, but Kunzite wasn't sure that she hadn't done anything to him.
It was quiet at first, like a rustling. Then he heard a female voice, "This looks like a good spot!" He saw a girl in an orange and white sailor fuku. He remembered her from the "incident". One of the five he blamed for the prince acting odd. Some sort of bewitching, he was sure.
"Halt!" Kunzite yelled drawing his sword. He didn't have her magical abilities, but he was sheer she couldn't match him in physical or mental capabilities. She was female after all. "What are you doing back here?"
Venus took a step back. She was frightened, of course, but she wasn't going to let that show. She was trained to act as such. She also knew that if she was going to get caught, either this planet or her queen would have her head. If he was going to have a hold of his sword, she was going to have a hold of her chain. She kept it conveniently around her waist for such a time. "I was just going to leave this for the prince. It's from my princess," she said slowly, knowing that probably sounded a lot more suspicious than she had hoped.
Kunzite was about to say something when Endyimion came outside to see what the commotion was. He stopped for a moment when he recognized who was there. "Stand down, Kunzite."
"Your highness?"
"Stand down!"
Kunzite put his sword in his sheath when he heard the prince say, "Come inside."
