Wow! This is part thirteen already? Amazing how this story's turning out, no? By the way, in case
you haven't guessed, I'm Lance the Flamesniper. I hope you're enjoying my story. I'd like to say once again
that I never DREAMED that this would turn into an epic. I'm glad that it is though.
I don't own Sailor Moon, nor do I own any of the Senshi(though I would love to own Setsuna^_^). They are a product of the talent and vision
of Naoko Takeuchi. Lorelei Meioh is a product of Meara's vision and I had to ask to use her. James Everwolfe,
Lance and a few others that show up here are mine. If you want to borrow them, ask first and I won't mind, just
make sure you tell people their mine.
If you've read the other twelve parts (Hopefully you have) you kinda know the names I use. You also
know that I am not making money off this, I'm writing this for your enterainment, and out of love for Naoko's
wonderful creations.
Hotaru's date Part thirteen
by
Lance the Flamesniper
He was dreaming again. He'd come home gotten into his sleep clothes and slipped into a silent Sleep.
He remembered all that. Tonight however, he was not in the same dream he was used to.
James leaned against the wall of the Space liner. It was a massive iron ship the Drifted on the solar winds
to and from the Center of the Millenium. He looked at the crowd around him mostly officers from the honor guards
that were traveling to the Moon Kingdom. He thought that a little silly, even in this dream he felt it so. He glanced
around ignoring the guards and officers. That left the other royals like himself, though he never really cared for his
royalty. Looking around he noticed only one other man amoung the group. He was about five eleven with Ice colored
eyes, sandy blonde hair and such a serious look to him that many other patrons gave him a wide berth. The Prince of
the Silent planet looked away when the man looked in his direction, as if to gaze into those ice blue eyes would cause
him to freeze.
The new direction of his gaze brought him the visage of three women. One was a tall Amazon-like woman with
Blonde hair, blue eyes and the mannerisms of a man. Next to her stood an elegant woman with Aqua hair and turquois
eyes. They were representing Uranus and Neptune on this trip. However it was the third young woman that caught his
attention. She was about his age, with violet-black eyes and shining black hair. He'd heard about her, mostly from the
whisperings of the many officers. Her name was Princess Hotaru. Her gaze fell upon his and held him there as if entrancing
him.
For a dream this sure is realistic James thought as he walked toward the group, determined to introduce himself
to the Lovely princess from his homeland. About ten steps from her the sandy haired woman stepped between him and his
goal.
"What do you want?" Amara hissed.
Wonderful! Even in my dreams Amara doesn't like me. And for the same reasons too. "My name is Prince James. I
wanted to introduce myself to my fellow royal from Saturn. And of Course I wouldn't mind introducing my self to you as well."
Amara gave him a look implying that she would rather try stuffing him down the laundry shoot. "I'm Princess Amara
from Uranus. This is princess Michelle from Neptune and the young lady from Saturn is none of your business."
"It's okay Amara, I'm sure he won't hurt me. Why don't you go get something to drink? Maybe get to know the
Princess from Pluto?" Hotaru suggested. The two older girls got the hint and went off to talk with the sandy haired man
instead.
"I saw you staring at me," Hotaru began. "A lot of people have been."
"That's because, my lady, you are exceptionally Beautiful."
That got a blush from the princess. "Flatterer."
"Only stating the truth. My Name's James."
"Hotaru," She said delicately offering her hand.
James bowed slightly and kissed her hand. "Charmed."
The two small talked a bit about how calm the trip had been and how wonderful the kingdom would be to finally
see. Eventually talk focused on the two more mysterious people on the voyage: the Princess from Pluto and the strange
blue eyed man.
"What do you make of him?" James heard himself say as he pointed to the blonde.
"Hard to say. I've spoken to him once during the whole trip."
"How did that go?"
"He was polite, but always to the point. No wasted words. His name's Lance. He's been appointed Guadian to the
Princess of Pluto."
"Wow! So he's from the kingdom of Pluto? A prince?"
"No. Actually that's where things got strange. He's from Mars. But he's a knight of Pluto," Hotaru said.
"That is strange," James agreed. Just then the Princess of Pluto joined the Blonde man and the two other outer
princesses who'd been trying to chat with him. When the man named Lance saw her he smiled.
"He only smiles around her," Hotaru said. "Though her Twin also gets a smile like that."
"She has a twin sister?"
"Yes. I think those two," She said pointing to the blonde and the princess. "Are sweet on each other but don't
want to admit it."
James looked closer. "You know, I think you're right. I think I'm starting to like you, Hotaru."
"I like you too, James."
"Maybe can see more of each other when we get to the Moon Palace?"
"I'd like that," Hotaru said as James Woke up.
What kinda dream was that supposed to be? What was I seeing? James thought as his hands wiped the sweat
from his face.
******
Across town in four beds, four people sat up in their beds. All of them a little confused.
"Amara, what's wrong?" Michelle asked.
"I had a dream where we were on a starliner with and James was flirting with Hotaru..."
"I had the same dream, it was sweet."
"No it wasn't! It was like being awake and dealing with him."
"Don't be silly love," Michelle whispered as she carressed Amara's shoulder. "Now why don't you lay down and
get some rest, remember we have to go to Cherry hill Temple tomorrow."
With a pout Amara scrunched down into the covers. Michelle lay back elegantly as both began to drift off to sleep.
My poor lifemate needs to relax a bit about James. I'm sure he's harmless, unless you're a youma of course.
Michelle thought.
*******
Hotaru sat in her bed. A smile played at the edges of her lips. The dream she's just woke up from was wonderful. It
had James as a prince talking to her and making her feel like the most beautiful woman in the universe.
Even in my dreams I'm his choice and he's mine too... Hotaru thought as she slowly laid back down. I hope I have
more dreams like that....
******
Setsuna sat with a mug of green tea in front of her. She had been quiet about waking up, hoping not to awaken her
sleeping sister or any of the others in the house. Still, a few minutes later her twin came down the stairs. Couldn't sleep?
She asked her sister mentally.
You know that's not it. Setsuna thought back. I had a dream that woke me up.
Must have been a really bad one to wake you up. Lorelei teased.
No, actually it was less a dream as it was a memory, and I got the feeling I wasn't the only person
remembering it.
You think it was something James was dreaming?
"I don't know," Setsuna said aloud. "I'll have to ask him when I see him tomorrow."
"Well then, if there's nothing else you want to discuss. I'm going to bed. You should too sister, you look tired,"
Lorelei said with a teasing smile. "It wouldn't do for Sailor Pluto to fall asleep in the middle of a meeting."
With a sigh Setsuna agreed and walked up the stairs. Sleep came easily.
