Extremely Mixed Emotions Part 2

After Amy & Keiichi had finished their breakfast, they went into the living room where the others were waiting for them so they could unwrap Christmas presents together.

Amy sat on the floor where her Christmas presents were right by the parlor's fireplace.

But Keiichi it seemed had very little interest in what he got for Christmas because just as he sat in Kazuyuki's favorite reading chair, Keiichi Stanton had drifted off to dreamland.

"Keiichi! My Keiichi," Amy exclaimed. "can you hear me!"

Within Keiichi's dream once more, it was one thousand years into the past during another time as well as in another place... the surface of a frozen pond upon the earth's moon.

A 14-year-old girl was sitting on a bench watching all of her friends ice skating in pairs.

A 16-year-old lord was watching the blue haired Princess of Mercury as another lord who was 26-years-old had noticed the 16-year-old behind the tree.

"Escuse me Mina." the 26-year-old boy said to the Princess of Venus.

"Where are you going Malachite?" Princess Mina asked her skating partner who was half Venusian half Earthling.

"To play matchmaker with Amy & Zoisite." Malachite answered Mina.

The 14-year-old Princess Amy of Mercury didn't even have her ice skates on as the 26-year-old Lord Malachite pushed the 16-year-old member of Prince Darien's guard toward her.

The 16-year old lord who was in fact named Zoisite shyly sat down next to the Mercurian Princess, "Don't you want to skate with me your majesty?" he asked Princess Amy.

"No I don't like to," Princess Amy admitted. "both ballroom dancing as well as ice skating make me feel kinda awkward."

"Well that makes two of us I don't like it either," Lord Zoisite said gently as he put his left hand upon Amy's right hand romantically. "I feel ridiculous."

"Zoisite." Jedite teased.

"Huh?" Zoisite asked.

"You're ridiculous even when you're not doing anything." Jedite said to Zoisite teasing the youngest lord once more.

Lord Malachite smiled knowing that he did a good job.

A few months after they met at the pond, Princess Amy of Mercury & Lord Zoisite who was half Mercurian & half Earthling met once again in the Moon Queen's royal ballroom.

Suddenly, Queen Beryl attacked the Moon ready & willing to kill anybody as well as everybody that was in her way.

Princess Amy had given her heart shaped musical locket to Lord Zoisite so that he would never forget the special romantic bond they shared.

"Where are you going?" Lord Zoisite asked Princess Amy.

"To teach Queen Beryl a lesson!" Princess Amy answered Lord Zoisite.

Sailors Jupiter, Moon, & Venus, and Princess Raye of Mars as well as Prince Darien of Earth and Lords Malachite, Neflite of Earth & Jupiter (his father was Jupiterian & his mother was from Earth), Malachite's mother was from Venus & his father was from Earth, Zoisite's mother was from Earth & his father was from Mercury, & Lord Jedite's father was from Mars & his mother was from Earth, the five boys could also not believe what they were seeing.

"No Amy," Sailor Moon called. "you simply cannot risk your life for my world!"

"Let it go Sailor Moon," Sailor Venus said. "this is the Mercury Princess's destiny."

Princess Amy then tried to use her Mercury sword to defeat Queen Beryl, the gentle Mercurian Princess ended up getting her soldier's powers by closing the portal to the Negaverse not just trapping Queen Beryl but also trapping herself.

"Amy no," Sailor Jupiter shouted out in pain & agony. "come back to us! Come back to us Amy!"

"It will do no good screaming like that Sailor Jupiter," Jedite said coldly. "Amy is one of the dearly departed now."

"Jedite!" Princess Raye scolded through tortured sobs.

Princess Raye and Sailors Moon, Venus, & Jupiter were continuing to sob over the death of Princess Amy or as they had now known her Sailor Mercury.

That very same evening, Princesses Serena, Lita, Raye, & Mina were still sobbing over the loss of their Mercurian ally.

"Amy would have made a great sailor scout!" Princess Mina sobbed.

"She was very brave & selfless," Princess Serena wept. "she gave her own life to save the Moon Kingdom!"

"Nope I can't do this," Lord Zoisite said. "it's not right!"

"Come on Zoisite! Hang in there," Neflite said forcefully. "keep going girls."

"Her eyes... there was so much hope in her eyes!" Princess Raye wept.

"Yeah... and do you remember the times when she'd try to be funny?" Princess Lita asked.

"I wish I'd laughed more!" Princess Mina sobbed.

"Me too." Princess Serena wept.

"Stop it," Zoisite shouted. "Amy is not gone!"

"Zoisite," Jedite said insensitively. "Princess Amy has gone to meet her maker and that's all there is to it!"

"The gate's closed forever Zoisite," Princess Lita said. "there's no way..."

"NO YOU'RE WRONG," Lord Zoisite yelled furiously also feeling hurt. "ALL OF YOU!"

"Zoisite!" Neflite called.

"NO! LET GO OF ME!" Zoisite screamed in pain & agony running off.

"I'll go talk to him." Neflite sighed.

"We're going to miss you Amy." Princess Raye wept.

"We're going to miss you like crazy!" Princess Serena sobbed.

When Lord Neflite caught up to Lord Zoisite, he saw his ailing friend holding the holy blade to his chest.

"No Zoisite," the frightened Lord Neflite called out. "what are you doing!"

"I WANT TO JOIN AMY IN THE AFTERLIFE NEFLITE!" Lord Zoisite sobbed bitterly.

Queen Serenity came into the prayer room to find Zoisite with the blade of the ancient sword pointed at his heart.

"I know you wish to be with Amy," Queen Serenity said. "but committing suicide is not the best solution for going about this."

"What must I do?" Lord Zoisite asked Queen Serenity.

"You must make an everlasting promise," Queen Serenity explained to Zoisite. "but not just any oath but the promise of true love's protection."

Lord Zoisite put the holy blade down then closed his green eyes.

"Amy my love... I offer you this gift of protection," Lord Zoisite promised. "no matter what time period we are in... our romance shall be preserved."

"That's the spirit Lord Zoisite!" Queen Serenity exclaimed.

"And Neflite... this I promise you... with both you & Princess Lita of Jupiter by my side," Lord Zoisite said. "we shall go into enemy territory and rescue my Princess Amy of Mercury!"

"You can always always count on Princess Jupiter & me!" Lord Neflite said to Lord Zoisite.

And soon enough, Princess Lita of Jupiter, Lord Neflite of Earth & Jupiter, & Lord Zoisite of Earth & Mercury were off to the Negaverse to find as well as come to Princess Mercury's rescue.

It wasn't long after the threesome had brought Princess Amy of Mercury back home to the Moon Kingdom that there was to be another ball, this ball was to celebrate the return of the innocent Mercury Princess.

Princess Amy & Lord Zoisite were as usual, sitting on the sidelines talking about what they knew about the most technology & inventing.

That is, until a young 9-year-old prince from the Kingdom of the Sun named Sammy had walked up to Princess Amy & politely gave her a graceful bow.

"May I have this dance my beautiful Angel of Mercury?" Prince Sammy asked Princess Amy.

"Actually Sammy... to be perfectly honest... I don't want to dance because I just don't like ballroom dancing." Princess Amy confessed.

"But..." Prince Sammy began.

"YOU HEARD THE LADY! SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DANCE," Lord Zoisite said to Prince Sammy coming to Princess Amy's defense like a true blue friend. "ESPECIALLY NOT WITH A STUFFED SHIRT LIKE YOU!"

"YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A LOSER," Prince Sammy yelled furiously at Lord Zoisite. "IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT MERCURIAN LAW... THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT A ROMANCE BETWEEN A ROYAL & SOMEONE OF A LESSER CLASS... IS FORBIDDEN!"

Lord Zoisite looked as though somebody had taken the holy blade and stabbed him right through the heart with it.

"Does that really mean that..." Lord Zoisite began.

"That's right Thief," Prince Sammy said to Lord Zoisite coolly. "Amy & I are betrothed! You never even had a chance with her to begin with!"

Lord Zoisite could feel tears welling up in his eyes.

"Amy... no... why hadn't you told me!" Zoisite sobbed bitterly.

"Zoisite... I," Princess Amy said. "I wanted to tell you..."

"Come on Baby... let's leave this foolish lord!" Prince Sammy said to Amy.

Princess Amy then looked back at Lord Zoisite with a teardrop rolling down her right cheek.

"Good bye my Zoisite... I will always love you." Princess Amy sobbed as Prince Sammy led her to the dance floor of the ballroom.

No my Princess of the noble planet Mercury, Lord Zoisite thought rubbing his itchy green eyes as if he had not gotten any sleep in the passed week. he cannot do this to us! Not right now! Not ever!

Lord Zoisite then stood up from his chair courageously.

Lord Neflite came dancing by with Princess Lita of Jupiter & Prince Darien came dancing by with Princess Serena of the Moon.

Prince Darien saw why his youngest lord had risen from his seat, it appeared that the Mercury Princess had fallen after Prince Sammy had twirled her and she was now crying because Prince Sammy would not even help the fallen Mercurian up.

"Sit back down," Prince Darien told his youngest lord kindly. "you need to conserve your energy!"

"But my prince..." Zoisite began.

"Not another word Zoisite," Prince Darien said gently. "I shall handle this for you."

"Thank you Darien." Lord Zoisite said.

Prince Darien helped the crying Princess Amy to her feet then he turned to face Prince Sammy.

"Come here you (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep)," Prince Darien said to the Prince of the Sun. "nobody messes with my friends like that!"

"I was only dancing with the girl I love." Prince Sammy protested to Prince Darien.

"The Princess of Mercury doesn't even love you," Prince Darien said. "because you are nothing more than a (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep) jerk to her!"

"Darien," Luna scolded the Prince of Earth. "you should never use language like that around any of the princesses!"

"So sorry Luna," Prince Darien said. "but the jerk face was asking for it!"

Lord Zoisite could not keep his green eyes open for much longer so he had fallen fast asleep while waiting for Prince Darien to return with Princess Amy.

When Lord Neflite saw this while dancing by with Princess Lita he began growing irritable with the youngest lord, "Mercurians." he groaned irritably.

Lord Zoisite had even slept through the sound of the trumpets signaling the return of 17-year-old Princesses Amara of Uranus & Michelle of Neptune, 19-year-old Princess Trista of Pluto, & 13-year-old Princess Hotaru of Saturn from the planet of Kinmoku.

The Outer Solar System Princesses were closely followed by three princes & one princess who all lived on Kinmoku.

The three 16-year-old Kinmoku Princes, Seiya, Yaten, & Taiki their names separated themselves from their princess as they walked over to the sleeping general of the Earth Prince Darien.

"Oh my," Prince Seiya said cockily. "this one looks as if he was placed within a bad trance!"

"What do you expect," Prince Yaten said coldly. "he is Mercurian!"

"Seiya," Prince Taiki scolded. "Yaten!"

"Super sorry Taiki." Princes Seiya & Yaten sighed running off to join 18-year-old Princess Kakyuu on the dance floor.

"Good! I shall join you shortly," Prince Taiki said to his two comrades then he turned back to Lord Zoisite. "rest easy now." he whispered to the silently dreaming lord.

Prince Taiki went off to join his friends so they could play a song for everyone to dance to.

Keiichi opened his green eyes to see Amy's warm hands touching his cold ones.

"Did you have a nice dream... my Keiichi?" Amy asked.
