Chapter 4: The New Earth Prince and The Flute

Disclaimer: :smirk: Hello, we don't OWN Sailor Moon. This is for my first ever flamer, Kim. If you are NOT Kim...just scroll down onto the story. It's where all those little stars are :sweatdrop:. And again, Alan is using his dub name. Andrew will not.



Fantasy-chan: (happily) SGF, guess what, guess what?!

SGF and Duo: What?

F-chan: YOU just got a flame!!!

Duo: WHAT!?!? WHO!? I'll kill it!!! Him or her! Even if it's Heero!!!

SGF: Calm down Duo...this is my first one anyways...I'm sure he or she had a good reason to flame me. (Takes review and reads it. Rolls eyes.) Okay, Duo, you can kill her. But before you do, lemme explain to this baka why her flame is all wrong.

NUMBER 1: You're saying I'm a bad author because I let Mamoru die? You truly are the Queen of baka onnas. It's MY story. It makes something called a PLOT. Uh duh!!!

NUMBER 2: You got the nerve to vote after insulting me AND my story? Really.

NUMBER 3: I said, and I quote 'I accept flames....but don't be mad when I diss you okay? I'll take it into consideration of course, but if I find it totally senseless, then consider yourself an idiot, ok?' You're flame was totally senseless. Thank you for making a total baka of yourself.

SGF: For the rest of my faithful reviewers, I decided to make this chapter really good. And also make a reviewers corner. Say thank you to my nee- chan when you can, she volunteered (coughs: coughcoughcoughcoughcough*blackmailed her*coughcoughcough coughcoughcoughcoughcoughcough.). Well, RR and enjoy! And please review...I know more people are reading this. Reviewers Corner is at the end. Oh yeah, I think I'll leave it a surprise on who it is. This chapter is *very* long.

Enjoy!!!

*********************************************************

Usagi twisted and turned in the bed, another nightmare plaguing her. They haven't stopped bothering her since the incident at the lake. "Mamo- chan...don't" was often uttered from her lips, and she would wince or cringe in her sleep once in a while.. Three pairs of eyes looked at her worriedly, before disappearing. The trio landed softly in a heavily fogged area, save for one who stumbled slightly from shock. It quickly regained it's composure and bowed lowly on it's four paws (wink, wink*) in front of the shorter figures of the two. The small one waved her hand in an act of dismissal, and it quickly stood on it's four paws. Sailor Pluto looked at the cat and then the portal, staring sadly at her princess's suffering. She didn't deserve this. Why? Who would want this to happen to the very pure soul of Usagi? Why—?

"Sailor Pluto?" a soft, British voice inquired, causing the senshi of time to look down at Luna, who was sitting down. Her head was cocked to the side, giving her the look of a confuse kitten. Sailor Pluto wanted to smile. She really did. But she couldn't. She looked at Queen Serenity, who had a tear or two sinking down her cheek. Sailor Pluto felt her heart break at the sight of her best friend crying and her princess suffering. It was almost too much. She gulped down some tears and closed the portal. She heard the last sniffle from Queen Serenity and heard her begin to speak.

"Yes, down to business. Luna, you are probably wondering on why you are here at the time gates. I also feel that you also want to know how I am here if I have died a thousands year ago." At Luna's nod, Queen Serenity continued. "Well, I have been watching over the scouts and my darling daughter. I have also seen what Prince Endymion, or his reincarnated self, Mamoru, " she smiled softly at the name and then continued, "has done for her. I hereby declare she is free to accept any new suitor that enters her life. Sailor Pluto has been going about the time lines seeking those who loved her during the past times." She saw Luna's eyes widen and before she could say anything, Pluto spoke up.

"Yes, this does mean some enemies of the past Luna. And also, allies of the present." Sailor Pluto glared, remembering the smirking Fighter Senshi. "And of course of the future. We are all aware this may cause some...tension between dare I say...rivals. Or competitors for Usagi's heart. They will also help us defeat the new enemy, and Usagi will have a king, who shall love and cherish her." There was a long silence as the midnight colored cat pondered what was just heard. Could this mean...?

"Sailor Pluto, does this mean we can finally awaken the substitute Earth prince?" Luna wondered this, and she couldn't get it out of her head. She knew he loved Usagi in more than a sisterly manner. She had also heard of his recent break-up with Rita* from a certain Ai no Megami (goddess of love).

"Yes, that is for certain. He will need his memories of course, then he will slowly regain his powers once again. All we need to do is remind him again…"

"I'll do it," Luna quickly, eyeing another portal popping up.

"Luna?" Queen Serenity questioned, raising one delicate eyebrow.

"I've known him for a long time. It'll be better if I do it because if either of you show up, he wouldn't know you and there can be BIG trouble." Luna sweat-dropped. Sailor Pluto and Queen Serenity seemed to be contemplating this, and they both agreed.

"Yes, and then I can the last the last of the suitors. Thank you Luna. It is essential that you tell the new Earth prince everything quickly and take him back here where you will find a key. Take the key and it will teleport you and him to his new room, and you are to report back here." At Luna's nod of acceptance, Sailor Pluto opened the time gate once more, hearing the booming voice of the Time Keeper call ring throughout the fogged area.

"WOMAN. WHEN AND WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?"

Luna gulped and cringed. She really hope she didn't have to ever face this guy. He sounded horrible.

"Lord Time Keeper!" Sailor Pluto yelled, glancing behind her to see if Queen Serenity was there. She wasn't. "My companion and I are going to different times and places! She wishes to go to the present time to the Arcade!" Luna smile gratefully at Sailor Pluto. At least she wouldn't have to walk. Luna found herself being lifted into the air and being put into a portal. At first she was fighting it, but then after a nod from Sailor Pluto, she calmed down. She was thrown in the portal, and the portal snapped shut instantly. "Lord Time Keeper! I pray to go to the Doom Tree era where Alan (Ail) and Ann are on Earth currently!" she found the winds pushing her to a door that just popped out of nowhere. She smirked and opened it, going through and shutting the door.

*With Luna*

Luna unexpectedly hopped (more like was thrown) out of the portal. She landed on her feet, like a cat should and looked behind her just in time to see the portal disappeared. Luna sweatdropped as she thought 'now how ami going to get back?' As soon as she thought it a portal appeared and threw out a note and a small key. The portal disappeared instantly, without a trace. The key seemed to be connected to a necklace. Luna slipped it on and made her was to the note. This is what it said.

'Dear Luna,

My age seems to be catching up to me. I forgot to give you the key to get you and the new prince of Earth back to the Time Gates. Instead of going to his new housing arrangements, stay there until another small key appears and then tell the key where you want to go. That key will lead you to The New Prince's bedroom, which used to belong to the old Prince of Earth Endymion. The key you have now is to get you back to the Time Gates. Tell the Prince of Earth to hold you as you say the words "TIME KEY BRING ME AND MY CHARGE TO THE TIME GATES ON THE ORDER OF SAILOR PLUTO, GUARDIAN OF THE TIME GATES". Thank you for everything Luna.

Sincerely,

Sailor Pluto, Guardian of the Time Gates, Princess and Soldier of Pluto, Protector of Usagi/Serenity-hime, Setsuna.

PS. Don't give the Prince of Earth to much of a scare. ~.^'

Luna sighed as she read the letter. Remembering the way Usagi had took it when she had started talking, she believed Motoki would take it

easier...like he would have a premature heart attack. Yup, just peachy keen.

Luna walked into the arcade, where she saw Motoki sweeping the floor with his jacket on, looking about ready to leave. She jumped on the counter undetected and 'meowed' very loudly, to get his attention. It didn't fail as he turned around and put his chin on the top of the broomstick, eyebrows raised in amusement.

"Luna? What are you doing here? I'm sure Usagi probably worried sick..." Motoki chuckled as he picked up Luna and started petting her., who was purring softly. "I'm asking you as if you can answer them Luna..."

"I can Motoki-san."

Motoki sputtered as he dropped Luna, who landed in shock on the hard floor. She glared at him, only to snicker a little when she saw his face. He fell down to his knees and looked her right in the eye.

"Y-You can T-talk???!!!" Andrew stuttered out, almost passing out.

"Hai (Yes), Motoki-san, I can. Daijoubu ka? (Are you alright?)" Luna asked, pouncing on his chest. Motoki gulped.

"H-hai...Daijoubu (I'm ok)...how Luna??? When???" Motoki was totally stunned...how...? Since when could Luna talk? When did cats start talking? He paled a little more, and grabbed his chest. At the rate his heart was going, he swore it could pop out of his chest at any moment. Luna sighed. This would be harder than she thought it would be. Then suddenly, she was struck with an idea. She looked straight into his eyes. Suddenly she screeched,

"LUNA MIND MELD!!!" The crescent moon shined on her forehead as did with Motoki. Motoki's eyes became lifeless as he stared into space, remembering all the things that happened in his past life.

Flashback*

Motoki stood beside his best friend and lightly older half-brother, Prince Endymion, on the balcony of his room in the palace. Endymion looked as if in a daze as he stared at the Moon, a silly smile upon his face. Motoki knew what...better yet whom his brother was thinking about. Motoki sighed as he followed his gaze. His eyes softened as he thought of the beautiful princess that had caught both of their hearts. He remembered the first time he met the Moon princess and her mother's advisors, Luna and Artemis. The Moon Princess was very happy to meet him and Endymion, and it was love at first sight, for all three of them. Motoki wasn't open with it as Endymion was, but he loved her. Even though he couldn't have her, even though she loved Endymion, he loved her still. Silence stood between the two brothers as they both stared at the Moon, admiring it's beauty.

"You love her, don't you brother? Endymion said abruptly, causing Motoki to almost jump. He looked at his brother who was staring at him, his prying blue eyes serious. Motoki swallowed and turned his head, staring back in the Moon. He looked and stared for a long time, and just when Endymion thought he wasn't going answer....

"I do." The quiet reply came back, and Endymion turned back to the Moon. Motoki watched Endymion from the corner of his eye, looking for his brother's reaction. What he saw surprised him to no end. His brother was smirking and looking out the balcony determinedly.

"Brother-" Motoki started off, but Endymion cut him off.

"No, Motoki. Do not be sorry. Who could not fall in love with her? Just promise me this. If anything ever happens to me, promise me you'll take the throne and take care of her. Promise?"



Motoki stood there stunned. He felt like jumping up and hugging his brother, but instead he smiled happily and shook his brother's hands, tears filling his eyes.

"I promise brother...I promise."

*End Flashback*

Motoki's eyes widened as the memories ended, ending the final one. The week after that conversation took place, Beryl attacked the whole Moon Kingdom. He shook his head and blinked the tears away. Luna hopped off the boy's chest and looked at him, waiting for a response from the boy. He got up slowly, dusting himself off. He smiled weakly at her and said "Luna..."

Luna nodded, and leapt into his waiting arms. She stared at Motoki staring at her. She blushed as he raised a questioning eyebrow. "Luna...what is Usagi going to do now that she doesn't have a king? Oh wait, I think I get it now. That's why you came to get me right?" At Luna's nod, he continued. "And why do I get the feeling there is more to this story?" Luna blushed.

"You aren't the only suitor for Usagi-hime, Prince Motoki," she said. Motoki contemplated this for a moment, before smirking.

"I really wasn't doubting that. Now, what are we supposed to do now?"

Luna yelled out "TIME KEY BRING ME AND MY CHARGE TO THE TIME GATES ON THE ORDER OF SAILOR PLUTO, GUARDIAN OF THE TIME GATES!!!" And they disappeared in a cloud of pink smoke, not a trace left behind.

*With Pluto*

Sailor Pluto had just closed off the door in which she had got there in. It vanished with a 'pop'. She took one step forward, and turned her clothes into regular civilian clothes. I mean, who knew what people would think and do if they saw one of the legendary sailor senshi walking around. Noting there was no one in the tree, she swiftly began walking towards the park, when a thought stopped her. Without thinking, she whipped out a pen, paper, and a key. She dodged into a nearby bush and scribbled a note quickly. She sent the key and the note through a portal and sighed. She was getting to old. She was starting to forget the most important things. But, back to a more important thing. She recommenced the search she'd been on throughout the park, stopping when she heard beautiful music. They music soothed her, and she stepped closer to the music. When she was close enough, she gasped. There was her charge, Alan of the Makajui (sp??? Can somebody o-negai (please) give me the correct spelling!?), sitting on the rock, playing his flute. Suddenly he stopped and sighed, looking at the sky.

"Oh my dearest Usagi...will you ever love me like a love you?" Alan's voice wavered, and he put the flute back to his lips, playing a different tune. A very depressed tune. You could tell it was a sad love song, it was the gift Alan had. Setsuna, unable to take the melancholy music, stepped out of the bushes, revealing herself. Alan stopped abruptly once more, eyeing the woman suspiciously.

"Good afternoon, Alan of the Makajui." As soon as she said that, Alan transformed into his second personality, Ail. His dark blue hair with pink highlights gleamed as the sunlight as he stood up tall, flute in hand. His Prussian blue eyes narrowed at her, and his lips were put in a frown.

"How do you know of the Makajui, woman?"? he asked, a death silence underlying all the words he spoke. Pluto raised an eyebrow and smiled softly.

"I know all, young Alan...or is it Ail now? I am the guardian of Time and Space. I know about both you and Alan. I also can give you want you want, if you cooperate correctly."

Alan...Ail...whatever..stared at her in both interest and suspicion. He raised an eyebrow at her, and asked "And what is it that I want...oh guardian of time?" He asked sarcastically, eyeing her.

"You want Usagi. You love her." She didn't even state it as a question. It was more of a regular sentence than anything. Alan looked stunned.

"How did you-"

"I know all Alan. How would you like to be a competitor for Usagi's heart?"

"Usagi-chan belongs to me."

"It'd be up to her," Setsuna argued, looking into his eyes. "Usagi is a princess." Alan smirked.

"I'm not surprised. Alright, time guardian. Take me to Usagi. I'll be a part of this...this game." Setsuna scowled and took out her staff.

"It's not a game Alan. It's the real thing." Setsuna opned a portal and walked towards it. "It's up to you now. Follow me, or live your life without Usagi." And she walked through, without looking back.

Alan, without thinking, ran in after her, after de-transforming. There you go, ladies and gents, the last bachelor is in.
