Hey! This is your Raven *winks* coming back with another chapter due to pleads from the audience! *winks at conan* Thank you conan for pushing me to write more- I was kinda getting lazy. ^_^;
*~*~*
After five years of seperation…
"Queen Neptune, the girls are now at the age at which they should be training! My daughter has great power, and your daughter could learn from her. I say this with all due respect, but Princess Neptune is very frail- we've got to make her stronger if you don't want her to die from a single demon!" Queen Uranus sat on her throne in the Imperial Meeting Room, her lavish gold hair castcading down her back.
"My daughter is not frail!"
"In that case, you wish her to die. Even the great Queen Serenity declared that she needs a partner for her to gain motivation to fight. That girl looks like she'd give in any moment!"
"You shut up!"
"Queen Neptune!" Queen Uranus stood up. "I do not want to cause caos in our two kingdoms, but you've got to watch your mouth, or my people might grow to hate you." The Queen of Uranus said firmly. Neptune pursed her lips tightly.
"I will not let them meet."
"You wish for your daughter to have no friends, and to die just like the other one!" Queen Uranus yelled. Then she noticed how pale and quiet Neptune became. "I'm sorry. Look, your daughter needs training, in order to become a good queen. Soon the WILL meet in the grand ball, no matter what you do. Even making your daughter sick won't do the trick. She'd have to be there."
"I will take my leave then, Uranus." The Queen of Neptune stood up, and marched out the door.
"Blasted woman." Queen Uranus growled maliciously.
"Mom?"
"Yes honey?"
"What's wrong, you look terrible!" Princess Uranus cupped her mom's face with her hands.
"Oh, I'm fine honey. Look, why don't you go outside and have some fun, ok?"
"Alright." Princess Uranus walked out, her long gown sweeping the ground.
After 7 years…
"Mother, I am old enough to go to a ball! Mother, a proper princess is supposed to attend the ball!" Michiru yelled. Then she blushed and lowered her voice. "Mother…" She calmly rephrased. "I am seventeen! The queen will be expecting us!"
"Absolutely not."
"Then I shall never talk to you again!" Princess Michiru said lamely. She sighed. "Mother… please…"
"Daughter! Will you ever understand?!?"
"NO! I won't, and I never will!! What you are doing is wrong! I will not be shut in here like a mouse in a cage! Soon, I will be asked to defend the Moon Kingdom! What will I do then, Mother? I'll be stupid, and I'll probably die after one blow from the enemy! If you don't let me go to that ball, I will not be able to fight- and our kingdom will be the first to fall." Michiru ended furiously. Queen Neptune pursed her lips, showing that she met defeat.
"Alright. But on one condition."
"Anything, mother."
"I don't want you to speak, or even go near the outer princesses. Is that clear?"
"Why?"
"IS THAT CLEAR?!?"
"Yes mother." Princess Michiru ended meekly. "I am utterly grateful you are letting me go to the ball in the first place- I will obey your orders." She curtseyd and walked out the door to get dressed.
