In the Stars

A/N: School is an interesting concept. But college is even worse because it's expensive. Ah, well. That's a complaint for someone else. All I can do is apologize for this wait!

"Luna, you idiot!"
I hear my words ring through the command center that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere only a few minutes prior. They kind of reverberate as I turn on my toes and rave back up the translucent steps. But the words stay with me longer. They pound against my chest alongside my heart-reminding me exactly how tasteless I must seem.
All this time I have accepted Luna's authority not only over myself but this whole situation. She's the one who knows everything-about the Silver Crystal and about the Princess. Who am I to say that she's clueless? I overstepped my boundaries. That doesn't matter, though. I'm simply the expendable part of this plan. Easily replaceable are the words constantly at the back of my head. Any of the other girls are fully capable of taking my place as leader-they would even better than me. It's simply fact. I'm not capable of being a leader to these girls-especially if this continues.
They say he's evil. I know better. Tuxedo Mask is by no stretch of the imagination evil. But for that to be true...
No. I refuse to indulge in such thoughts. Luna has to be wrong. She has to.
Tuxedo Mask is reliable and good. He makes me feel safe. When I'm with him u feel the greatest warmth grow from the pit of my stomach. There's no way an evil man is capable of making me feel that way.
He could be tricking you.
I try to blink that thought away as I race down the deserted streets. And for once I'm glad evil is ruining the day. For anybody to see me this way, with these ugly tears streaking down my red face...
At least they're looking for that stupid crystal. The one with the power to destroy a planet. They won't be able to find it. That much I know. I don't know why. But I do. It's the same feeling I get about Tuxedo Mask. Because it's more than simple attraction that binds us together, I know now it can only possibly be the string of fate pulled taut by the gods. Tuxedo Mask to my Sailor Moon. The Endymion to my Serenity.
That's the truth, I know. Otherwise why else would I be having these dreams? There is a princess of the moon just like Luna said. It only took me until now to believe it fully. Luna's confirmation helped me realize just how real all my dreams have been. I just wish I could tell them to give up the search for the Princess. She's nothing special. Just little old me. The only thing I want they keep away. My prince. A sad remix on the classics I grew up on. My prince has come but none of them trust him in the same way I do. But they never have. Not even in the past.
They rolled their eyes at the Prince I would meet under the Moonlight on the Earth Palace.
They pursed their lips at the Prince who would sneak his way up to the Moon in any and all his free time.
If I told them they would scold me for dancing with my prince.
They would kill the Prince who gives me strength with his words. The one who keeps me sane. The one who saves my life.
They hate the Prince I love.
I don't care what Luna or the girls say. No matter how much better they are at fighting this evil they still know nothing about the matters of the heart. I hardly understand it but at least I acknowledge it's existence. My heart tells me Tuxedo Mask is not the enemy.
I swear it on that stupid Legendary Silver Crystal.
If it even exists.

A/N: It's been toooooo long. I would promise more frequent updates but I can't promise. I can try though. Sundays should be my break from studying for my AP classes. :)
