Dinner in the Moon Place banquet Hall
"Arigotou Rieka-san," Jadeite said thanking the maid for showing him the way to the dining hall.
"It was no problem, Jadeite-sama." she responded.
"You know if you're not to busy later" Jadeite began being cut off by Princess Rei's voice.
"Rieka-chan how is Motoki-kun, you know your fiancé.," she said the last part more directed toward Jadeite.
"Oh he is just fine. He was just raised to head of the stables. You girls really should come down and see him more often." she said while giving Rei a smile of thanks,
"You know it's not right to just ask a woman out like that. And Rieka has been engaged for awhile now. So, next time moron look for a ring." she said.
"You know, how do you know what I was gonna ask her?" Jadeite wanted to know. But before she could answer the laughs of Eternity, Ami, Minako, and Serenity came from the corridor and the opposite of that came the voices of the other men and Makoto.
"Princess Makoto-san, I must say your karate is very impressive. Where did you learn." Nephrite questioned the Jovian Princess whose eyes were dancing like they did every time a man complimented her.
" My Father taught me. One of the many things I have learned from him." she answered.
"Princess, maybe you could show Neph-kun a few moves. The man can hardly take down a stick." Zoicite said.
"I must say, you have no room to talk from what I heard from Eternity you were taken down by Sailor Jupiter." Makoto said laughing in her head,
"That was not his fault. My men and I had just handled a revolt against Father. Zoicite had been thrown in to a tree earlier by Kunzite-san." Endymion said standing up for his men.
"Figures not many people like Father," Eternity said so only Rei could hear.
"Come on. It's time to eat.," said Serenity causing the girls to laugh knowing their princess must be starving.
Out came the food, servants placing the food and the high people sat down, Serenity at the high of the table. Eternity sat at her right and her brother across from her. Kunzite seated at his right Minako across from him, Nephrite and Makoto sat next to each other, Ami and Zoicite across from them leaving Rei and Jadeite to sit across from each other. Makoto and Nephrite got into a conversation about the techniques of the different forms of Martial Arts. Zoicite and Ami got into an argument about which book was better "books that only people like the would read' Minako whispered to Eternity. Kunzite minded his business and just ate. Rei and Jadeite were shouting at each other while Endymion, Minako, Eternity and Serenity all had a conversation about what environment was better, a meadow or the woods. Minako and Eternity preferred the woods while thee other two agreed that a valley was much better. So that's how life went for about two weeks in the moon palace.
Senshi training Grounds
The girls were out in the grounds all working at something at something that could be better. Mars, Venus, and Elemental worked at their aim while Jupiter and Mercury tried to work on the damage they could cause with their weaker attacks. Serenity was trying to engage in a conversation with Venus while she was twirling around her chain trying to grab objects Serenity had placed out in the field. Then the men walked by together in a group. It was the first time they had seen the girls since they arrived on the moon. And it was the first tome had seen the girl's real powers. They watched as Mars landed her flaming arrow on the bulls eye as Jupiter knocked down a tree using 'Thunder Strike'.
"And he so cute" Serenity said talking about Endymion.
"Serenity-sama, I'd really prefer not to talk about my brother in the way we would any common guy. It's just disgusting." she complained after taking her own arrows from the quill full on her back. Eternity like Rei enjoyed archery. She than heard Jadeite's voice yell way to go. All the girls turned to see the men about twenty feet from the borders of their training grounds.
"Oh great," mumbled Mars "what the helk are you doing here"
"Serenity-sama it's a pleasure to see you again," Endymion said.
"You just saw me at breakfast." she said raising her eyebrows not getting the pick up line.
"Maybe you'd like to show me around the gardens." he said, again trying to get her alone.
"Ohhh, I'd love to" Serenity squealed.
"Serenity" Jupiter began.
"No need Jupiter, it's to late." Minako said knowing full well that not even she could stop the couple falling for each other.
"So, who's up for a sparing match" asked Zoicite said picking up a sword that had been placed on a wall near the arrow targets. Elemental approached the curly blonde and shrugged her shoulders. "Hey why not. I'll gladly fight you," said Elemental.
" No offense, Princess but you are probably not up to my level.," he said, a look of worry for her on his face.
"Just get ready," she said summoning her sword from sub-space pocket, her voice once again cocky.
In five minutes Elemental had gotten Zoicite on the ground with her sword to his neck." Not your level, ey" she said. " Maybe I had better practice."
"She's good," said Kunzite, leaning against the brick wall.
"What did you expect?" Venus said looking him in the eye. " I mean she did learn from us."
Thanks for reading and KTP.
