Guardian Cats
The new planet shimmered in the sky as Princess Serena walked slowly across it's beautiful silvery surface. "The next planet livable besides Earth.." She repeated to herself. Princess Serena turned towards the other Princesses. "Everyone, I have an announcment." The other Princesses bowed respectivly. Princess Serena smiled softly than frowned sadly looking down, "I don't know if I can rule here.." "What do you mean?" Princess Ami asked. "I don't know if I can follow in my mother's footprints and rule..I don't know how to.." "Princess...You were our leader back on Earth..You did it than surely you can do it now." Princess Rei smiled. Princess Serena looked up, "Yeah?" "Of course." Princess Lita said. "You'll be great at it." Princess Mina said. "Maybe you guys are right. Thank you." Princess Serena said. "Uh..Just where are we suppose to sleep?" Princess Haruka questioned. "Hm..I have gone through this entire planet and I see no sign of a castle or any living quarters." Princess Serena said. "Could it be possible that for the arrangments in sleeping we will have to go back to our castles on our planets?" Princess Ami asked. Princess Michiru stepped infront of Princess Haruka. "Please," She said. "Even for sleeping I don't want to leave Haruka." Princess Serena nodded, "Don't worry, You won't have to. I'll think of something." Princess Serena sat down on a brightly golden colored rock to think. Suddenly the planet began to shake as a castle immerged from the ground infront of the Princesses. Princess Serena gasped as she looked down at the rock she was sitting at and got up. "So there was a castle..It was just hidden.." She said. "Who would have thought that some planet as new as this one would have everything we needed?" Princess Mina asked. "Just like the Moon Kingdom.." Princess Serena said softly. "Well, Come on everyone!" Princess Rini giggled as she ran towards the castle. Everyone followed. They walked inside the beautifully lit castle. The walls inside were on a sparkling red. Princess Ami gasped softly as a thought struck her. "What is it?" Princess Lita asked. "Perhaps this castle will have sleeping quarters for each Princess." Princess Ami answered. "What do you mean?" Princess Rei questioned. "I'll show you." Princess Ami said as she walked down the sparkling red hallways. It soon led to a room and Princess Ami pushed open the door. Inside was a bed of the color of ravaging fire. In the middle of the floor layed a flickering flame. "This," Princess Ami said. "Would be Princess Rei's room. And I'm sure if we were to follow the colored hallways of our colors we're sure to find our living quarters." Everyone nodded and they went off in search of their bedrooms. Princess Rei entered her room and walked towards the flickering flame. She knelt down to it and began to meditate. Her meditation was disrupted by a sharp hiss. Princess Rei opened her eyes to find a small kitten with the Mars symbol engraved on it's forehead. "Hi there." Rei said as she reached out to pet the kitten. The kitten backed up into the flame and peered out watching Rei. How strange..Any cat would be burned if it walked into a flame..Rei thought. Princess Ami followed a blue hallway she had found that extended just off the red hallway. She came across a door and pushed it open. To the side of the room was a bed the color of the rain. In the middle of the room was a cloud which dripped rain, snow, and hail to the floor beneath it. Princess Ami shrugged and walked past it to her bed. She stopped when she heard a small hiss coming from the various things dripping out of the cloud. She walked towards it but stepped back as a kitten with the Mercury sign on it lept out hissing furiously. Princess Ami knelt down and held out her hand for the kitten to sniff. "There little kitty. You're going to get yourself hurt if you stay in there. The kitten backed into the falling elements and hissed again watching Ami. Ami stood up and shook her head wondering how a small kitten wasn't bothered by such falling things. Princess Mina followed the bright yellow hallway just off the blue hallway. She came to a door and pushed it open. To the side of the room was a golden colored bed. Princess Mina smiled softly as she stepped in. She stopped to look around the room. She felt something soft brush by her legs as she lost her balance and fell to the floor. She looked around for the cause of her fall as she spotted a small kitten with the Venus signed engraved on it's forehead. "Hey kitty. Where'd you come from?" Princess Mina asked. The kitten hissed as it circled Mina and ran under the bed peering out at Mina. "I'm not going to hurt you." Mina said as she walked towards the bed. The kitten stuck it's head out and hissed extended it's sharp claws. Mina backed away, "All right, All right. I won't bother you." Princess Lita followed a jungle green colored hallway that was set a bit away from the red hallway. She found a door and pushed it open looking around the room. There, At the side of the room was a jungle green colored bed. The same place the bed was in Princess Rei's room. She walked towards a little door she saw next to the bed when she thought she heard a hiss. Perhaps from a small child or a kitten? She thought. She looked around and saw a little kitten walking out from a cloud shooting lightening. "Well hello there," Princess Lita said as she knelt down to the kitten. "Doesn't that lightening hurt?" She than noticed the Jupiter sign engraved on the kitten's forehead. The kitten hissed as Lita tried to pet it and it jumped back into the lightening watching Lita cautiously. Princess Michiru and Princess Haruka found a two way colored hallway in the far back on the castle. On the right side of the hallway where Princess Haruka walked was colored a dark gold color. And on the left side of the hallway where Princess Michiru walked was colored a shade of aqua marine. They pushed open the door that they came to. And looked around the room. On the right side of the room was a gold colored bed, And on the left side of the room was an aqua marine colored bed. They started walking to the beds as they spotted two kittens cuddled against each other. The kitten with the Uranus symbol engraved on it's forehead jumped up and protectivly stood infront of the kitten with the Neptune sign engraved on it's forehead. The kitten hissed angerly as Princess Haruka tried to touch it. It jumped into a cloud hovering down and the kitten with the Neptune symbol engraved on it's forehead jumped into a pool underneath the cloud. Princess Haruka and Princess Michiru exchanged looks as they shrugged. Princess Hotaru skipped down the purple colored hallway which extended off the golden and aqua marine colored hallway. Princess Hotaru looked up as she came to a door and pushed it open. Her eyes darkened as she stepped into the room. In the same spot as all the other beds were was a purple colored bed. And in the middle of the room was a churning picture of the solar system. Princess Hotaru walked towards it leaning her face towards it for a better look. Suddenly something furry blocked her vision of the solar system and Princess Hotaru jumped back, startled. Her eyes focused on a tiny kitten about eight weeks ago with the Saturn symbol engraved on it's forehead. The kitten jumped down to the floor and stared at Hotaru it then jumped back into the churning solar system. Only the kitten's eyes were left as it watched Hotaru. Princess Setsuna sighed as she entered a dark green colored hallway. It was near Michiru's, Haruka's, and Hotaru's rooms so she was glad she wouldn't be all that much alone. She pushed open a door and noticed right away the clock floating in the middle of the room. How strange. She thought. She noticed a dark green colored bed. Surely enough this was her room. She walked around the room noticing various clocks on the walls. She than came back to the clock in the middle of the room and watched it. A small gasps escaped her mouth as she took a few steps back. A little kitten immerged from the clock. It hissed when it noticed Princess Setsuna's presence and walked back into the clock keeping an eye on Setsuna's movements. Outside of the castle the shimmering brilliance of the planet soon faded as the Princesses went to bed. As Princess Michiru slept the kitten with the Neptune symbol engraved on it's forehead walked out of the water and jumped ontop of the bed stirring Michiru to wake. Michiru blinked a few times before she noticed the kitten watching her on the foot of her bed. The kitten took a few small steps towards Michiru and Michiru soon noticed something very wrong with the kitten's appearance. Instead of paws each of the kitten's feet ended in a flipper. The kitten took a few more steps towards Michiru before it spoke. "I'm sorry for how Breeze acted this evening." "Breeze?" Michiru questioned. "Yes, The other kitten. She's very protective and was afraid one of you were going to hurt me. She's got quite a temper." The kitten responded. "I imagine so." Michiru laughed softly. "I am Wave. As you may have noticed I am not quite normal. Neither are any of the other kittens. I live in that pool over there and that pool also heals me if I should get hurt. Every Chibi Scout has a guardian cat. I am Chibi Neptune's guardian cat. That is why all of us kitten's are here. We are waiting for the Chibi Scouts to return. When we first saw you we were afraid because you and Haruka looked like a taller version of the Chibi Scouts." Wave said. Michiru was about to ask how Wave knew Haruka's name but she felt more weight on the foot of her bed. She than noticed Breeze. The bad tempered kitten. Breeze spoke softly to Wave. "What are you doing here telling her all about why we're here?" "Because we have to know who these Princesses are. I didn't do any harm, Breeze." Wave responded. Michiru noticed the difference in Gentle Breeze from any other cat. Breeze's paws ended in a shovel like shape. The same as with her tail. Breeze pushed Wave off of Michiru's bed and jumped into the cloud. Wave turned around, "Good Night." Wave said as she jumped into the pool. The next morning the Princesses awoke and met at the biggest room of all. They weren't quite sure what the room was for but it suited for having a meeting. All the kitten's were there too. All seeming to be getting along. Princess Serena was the first to speak up. "Everyone, I'm sure we're all wondering why these kittens are here. And the reason they're here is because they're waiting for the Chibi Scouts to return. But it is only fair to give them a proper introduction." The kitten with the Mars symbol walked to the middle of the room and spoke, "My name is Fire." Than the kitten with the Mercury symbol walked to the middle of the room. "My name is Storm." The next one with the Venus symbol walked up. "My name is Love." She giggled. The one with the Jupiter symbol walked up, "My name is Lightning." The one with the Saturn symbol walked up, "My name is Silent." Than the last one with the Pluto symbol walked up, "And my name is Time." Suddenly the castle began to shake as everyone lost their balance and fell. Eight lights the color of the eight Scouts minus Serena and Rini shot towards the Moon. Princess breathed in wonder, "The Chibi Scouts have been born.."
