Kiss Me

Neo Princess Moon

Song by: Six Pence None the Richer



*Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.

*Lead me out on the moonlit floor.

*Lift your open hand.

*Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance,

*Silver moon's sparkling.

*So kiss me.



"Nephrite!! For the eight-thousandth time, I know that it's called an egg roll, but there aren't any eggs in the role." Makoto said exasperated. These cooking lessons were not going well. During the lessons Nephrite always seemed to be focused on something else. She had no idea why Serenity had insisted the Makoto teach Nephrite to cook. He obviously didn't care. She couldn't shake off the feeling that she was being set up somehow.

"Why can't it be called a no-egg roll?" Nephrite sighed. He knew that there weren't any eggs in egg rolls, but he was hoping that they could move onto fighting practice. He loved being with Makoto, but he would never get the hang of being in the kitchen. The place scared him, it was just full of estrogen and all those other female things.

"Alright. I get it. You want to move onto fighting practice, right?" Makoto said sighing.

"I might understand what you talking about a little bit more if we were in there!" Nephrite said praying that it would work.

"Ok, ok. Let's go then." Makoto said taking off her apron and washing her hands. She looked down at her attire; this princess's gown just wouldn't cut it for fighting practice. She snapped, and was immediately engulfed in green light. Nephrite looked up just in time to see a flash of Makoto's nude body as she transformed into her senchi uniform. When Makoto finished she looked up to see Nephrite's stunned face. "What?" She asked, having completely forgotten about the transformation.

"I knew you were beautiful, but oh my god." He muttered not intending from Makoto to hear, but she did none the less.

"You think I'm beautiful?" She asked tilting her head and blushing. Nephrite snapped to, realizing what he had just said aloud.

"Ummmm.. well I just.. I.. It's like.. Ummm." He said blushing and not wanting to tell her that he had liked her since forever. Makoto's mind was spinning. She couldn't believe that he had said that out loud. It seemed too good to be true. She had liked him since she was 12 years old when she had seen him marching in a parade, along side the prince of Earth. Not that she hadn't had a lot of crushes in her 18 living years, but this one was special. For one thing it had hung around even after she had seen a different hot guy. But it also felt like something deeper, and in her heart of hearts she believed that she had fallen in love with him. Never mind the fact that at the time he had been a complete stranger. She could confess her love to him, but then there was the chance of rejection.

"I'll tell you what. We'll have a fencing duel, if I win then you have to tell me every emotion you've ever felt for me." Makoto said, sure that she would win. There were only two people in the universe that could beat her, Serenity and Endymion. This way she wouldn't have to confess anything to him.

"What if I win?" Nephrite asked, confident that he would. There were only two people in the universe that could beat him, Serenity and Endymion. (Do we see a common theme here?)

"I don't know. You choose, mind it has to be PG." She added seeing a blush cross his face.

"Alright, you have to tell me about all your feelings for me." Nephrite said spitting on his hand and holding it out for Makoto to shake. Makoto sighed, spit in her hand and allowed him to shake it. With that they took off toward the gym.

"Say, Serenity will you be the judge?" Makoto asked as Nephrite and she choose their weapons. (I know that sound awkward, but it is grammatically correct.)

"No, way. I don't trust her. She's gonna call the shots in your favor." Nephrite cried before Serenity could respond.

"Alright, Serenity and I will both judge the competition." Endymion said with an exasperated look.

"Alright, fine." Nephrite said as he got into a fighting position. Endymion and Serenity checked the competitor's equipment. With that the duel began. After fighting intensely for about 5 minutes Makoto was able to tap Nephrite in the stomach.

"Touché." Makoto cried looking at the judges to call the shot and finding that neither of them were paying any attention to the match, but rather were gazing longingly at each other. Makoto walked over and lightly tapped Serenity on the shoulder.

"Will you please pay attention to the match?!" Makoto yelled.

"Hmmm? Oh, yah, the match I forgot. Sorry." Serenity said snapping out of the daze Endymion had put her in.

"Just pay attention. It shouldn't be more than 5 minutes. This guys a piece of cake." Makoto bragged.

"Alright, one point, Makoto." Serenity reluctantly agreed turning back to the match.

Two more minutes passed, and Nephrite brushed the tip of his sword against Makoto's stomach.

"One point, Nephrite." Endymion said, sounding bored.

"Who's easy to beat now?" Nephrite said smugly. Makoto glared, but didn't reply. Within the next ten minutes each fighter had two points. Now they were fighting for the win. Then fought intensely for another ten minutes, and then when Serenity and Endymion were about to fall asleep they each touched each other at the same time. They blinked.

"Well, I guess your equals." Serenity said looking surprised.

"Yah, this means that you both have to tell each other your feelings at the exact same time." Endymion mused.

"Alright. On the count of three you will tell each other how you feel, and you can't leave anything out. One two THREE!!" Serenity counted.

"I love you."

"I love you." They said at the same time.

"Well, we'll leave you alone then." Serenity said taking Endymion's hand and slipping out of the room.

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

"I can't believe you're serious." Makoto said, dumbfounded.

"I know how to make you believe." Nephrite replied standing close to her and lowering his head. Makoto grinned.

"Kiss me."
