1 Part 2

2 Jupiter's Princess…

Lita opened her eyes as the morning sun fell across her bed. She sat up yawning. Yesterday had been a big day. Princess Serenity, or Bunny as Lita and her friends liked to call her, had turned 16 and met Prince Endymon of Earth, her betrothed.

Lita slid her feet off the bed; she put on her pair of green silk slippers. She slowly made her way out of her room. Ami was in the hall. She was dressed in a blue pajamas dress and looked as tired as Lita felt. Ami looked up from her blue computer with the sign for Mercury in gold on it. She smiled faintly. "Your finally up!" Lita nodded, wishing she wouldn't talk so loud.

Ami must have felt the same way. She rubbed her head. "It must have been four o'clock before the party was over." She said.

Lita nodded. "Then it took forever to get Bunny away from Endymon." She yawned and sat down next to Ami.

Ami smiled at her friend's fatigue. She pointed to her work on the screen. "I have the pictures from last night that Mina and Rae took." She said.

Lita took the computer from her and squinted at its bright light. She smiled. Bunny and Endymon were on the screen. They were dancing together. Ami twisted her right earring and her visor came over eyes. She reached into the air and the picture changed. Lita gasped. The prince was kissing Bunny! Her eyes widened in shock. "So Bunny did like him after all!"

Ami laughed. "Rae took that one."

Lita laughed. "I believe it!" She said. She heard some one clear his throat.

"Excuse me ladies." A deep voice said. Jupiter looked up to see a young man trying to get past them.

Ami hurriedly shut her computer and ducked her head. Lita pulled her legs close to her, both of the girls were blushing, they were still in their pajamas!

He walked past them, not even giving them a second glance. Mercury sighed. "Bunny is so lucky." She said. Lita had to agree. Bunny had it all. The looks, the charm, the lineage, She even had the perfect fiancé!

Ami sighed again. "Oh well."

Lita stood up. "I have to get dressed, meet you at breakfast in ten?" She asked.

Ami nodded, removing her visor by twisting her left earring. She smiled and stood gathering the computer into her arms. "Alright, but really you might want to call it lunch."



Lita pushed open the large door to the dinning room. As she expected Ami was early. With her at the long table sat Mina. Mina was talking excitedly to her. She was able to tune into the last part of their conversation before they noticed her.

"And the sailor Senshi have been chosen for the ones to protect the princess of the moon… Hi Lita!" Mina said

Lita nodded to her. "What's this about the sailor Senshi?" Her mother had been one in days of her youth, rumor had it that there needed to be chosen Senshi for the new princess, Bunny.

"Queen Serenity is going to announce the chosen ones. Princess Pluto told her it was urgent." Mercury explained. She looked confused, as Lita did.

"But I thought that the prince would be able to protect her from now on." Lita said, voicing her thoughts.

Mina shook her head. "Apparently not. From what I overheard Princess Pluto didn't even think the chosen ones would be able to save the moon kingdom." Mina closed her eyes remembering the awful words. Tears slipped from them when she opened them again. "Don't you see?" She asked. "This could be the end of the silver millennium!"

Lita frowned. "Never! What else did she say?" She asked concerning the keeper of the keys of time, Princess and the only known sailor Senshi, Trista.

Mina shook her head. "All I heard that is if the sailor Senshi powers weren't awakened then it could be the end. Trista also said that it might even be to late." Her sad voice turned to one of hatred. "It's the Negaverse you know. That's what she's so worried about."

Ami looked up in surprise. "Not the Negaverse!" She said in shock. The power of the Negaverse had once attacked Earth, many, many years ago, the power of love and friendship had beaten them back, but that was by sailor Senshi of the past, ones who had been training all their life to battle the Negaverse.

Mina nodded. "Rae is in the temple now." She was talking about the Princess of Mars, who was training to be a priestess at a temple on the kingdom. She leaned closer to the other too. "She can talk to the fire, I think she might be Sailor Mars." She whispered.

Lita shook her head. "She's a Princess!" She said objecting. "The sailor senshi have never been princess before."

"Are you sure?" Ami said quietly. "There have been ones before." She looked at directly at Lita. "And your mother, also a princess was Sailor Jupiter."

Lita nodded. "But my mother married the prince, she wasn't a princess than."

"Still…"
