Aqua Cameo
"Fire Storm"
Thunder crashed as Calandra of Jupiter ran from the room. She had overslept. If she did not make it back to Jupiter in time then everything was lost. She easily jumped from the top of the stairs to the bottom, relieved that she made no noise to cause the sleeping guard to wake. She reached the Jupiter window, the window in a hall that served as a transporter between the planets, and turned one last time to See Zephyr stand watching her, and blew her a kiss before she entered the window and ran for her life to her own bedroom. Zephyr the Martan princess stood and watched her lover flee. It was not the first time Calandra, Callie the courts called her, had made this run and both hoped it would not be the last. Times were to unstable to tell. Jupiter had to choose to become part of the inner sect or the outer court. If Jupiter was made part of the outer court, Callie would be forbidden from Entering the inner kingdoms. She would be exiled to a post such as was the unhappy fate of those outer senshi, Uranus, NEptune, Pluto and Saturn. Zephyr prayed that whatever decision was made was best for the people but also in favor of its monarchy, Callie in particular.
Calandra made it to her room with no time to spare. No sooner had she closed the door and ripped her gown from her body did her mother, Queen Io, enter.
"Callie, Why are you not dressed? The meeting begins shortly!"
Callie hung her head. She knew the importance of this meeting and the strees it caused both of her parents, her mother in particular. Jupiter had always been considered an inner planet, but a comets expplosion had created an asteriod belt between Mars and Jupiter, making a barrier. The choice had been given and the desicion was to be made today.
"Mother, I apologize. I understand..."
"I know you do darling, i just am worried. This desicion woll affect all of us. Drastically."
Io moved to Calandra's closet to get the girls court gown, a toga like dress in an Emerald green. Calandra swept her hair in its customery ponytail and grabbed for her jade comb to secure the curly mass. She gasped. It wasn't there! She frantically searched the area around her dressing area it was here when she left and...then it dawned on her. She had left the clip on ZEPHYR's dressing table not her own. Her breath caught in her throat. This could kill the both of them. Zephyr was intended to be the priestess of the planet as well as its heir and warrior. Their would be a scrict punishment if the two were caught. Hearing Io's appraoch she grabbed a gold clip and secured her hair. Io handed her the dress and she slipped into it as her mother spoke.
"Callie, i just can't believe that your so big. I don't want to lose you, it was yesterday..."
"I know, Mama" She replied "I know"
"Come lets go."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Zephyr stood in her red court gown, awaitimg Jupiter's desicion with the rest of her family. She nervously fingered her medaillion and prayed hard. A messenger came running in with the news
"I have the descion!!!!"
"SPEAK FOOL!" roared King Arist.
"THe message relates as this: Jupiter has declared:..."
Zephyr screamed shrilly and began to run. she ran to the transport room and went throught the Moons window, hoping she was not late.
"Jupiter has declared to remain a part of the inner court, on one condition. A lasting link must be made between the two planets. The Princesses are to be wed."
~*~*~*~*!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Zephyr returned limping. The emergency call had turned out to be a practice drill. It was something they had all been told to expect but never really knew when they would occur.
She walked up to her room,to find her mother, Erisa, sitting on her bed. Zephyr's breath caught in her throat. In her hands was Callie's hair clip.
"Would you like to explain why Callie's hair clip is in here? Its been weeks since the Jupiterian ambassoders were here and i know that was before you all recieved your gifts."
Zephyr simply looked at her mother.
" I love her mother."
"Then its a good thing. You two are to be Joined in a ceremony to bind Jupiter to the inner courts. I can no longer look to you, your father has decreed it so. You are no longer welcome on this planet. AT my death though you will come into power."
Zephyr played with the medaillion around her neck and a voice whispered in her ear
"Ask if she to will banish her self for she punish one who commits the same "crimes" that she too commits. Danae. Ask of Danae."
"Danae? who is Danae. Mama?"
Erisa stared at her daughter.
"Danae? I know no one of that name. Why?"
Zephyr's mind reeled. Voice repeated its self.
"Faith, have Faith. Faith leads to your love. to your passion. Defend them both."
"Danae? why do punish me and not yourself and your lover? You are the head mother. You make the desicions. Father has no power!"
Zephyrs eyes flashed fire and it was right then that Erisa realised that she was no longer facing her daughter, but a grown women in love. She knew of her hypocrisy, it was her way of dealing with her mistake in marriage with Zephyr's father, Dameon.
"Promise me that you do love her. I don't want you to make the same mistake i did."
"I love her with my soul. Mars agrees.I will fight this with every ounce of power i possess.I am not ashamed. I will live my passions."She slowly fingered the medaillion, feeling what Cynthia had meant of Faith and passion.
"You heard the voice?" Erisa asked in surprise.
Zephyr nodded and Erisa smiled.
"And here i thought i was going to have to tell you that you were going to have to make a sacrifice. Bless you daughter and go to Jupiter. Calandra is awaiting you."
Zephyr ran from the room and Erisa turned to the small communicator on her wrist.
"Danae? she's on her way there. I hope your Callie is good to her."
Io Danae smiled in to the communicater.
"GReat, love. See you later."
With that the Jupiterian Queen smiled and awaited the arrival of her new daughter in law.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I'M TO BE MARRIED!!!!!!"
Calandra's screams where so loud that the courts figured she could be heard from both ends of the galaxy. Io chuckled. Her daughter had no idea. Io knew of Callie and Zephyr's late night meetings. She herself had visited Mars to seek out a member of the royalty. Se remembered falling in love with Erisa when they to were no more than Sailor Senshi. The two women had loved deeply but it was not meant to last. They had been separted, both given in arranged marriages. Erisa had been vocal about their relationship and that had caused Dameon to forbid such practices in the Kingdom. If a woman or man were caught in bed with another of there sex, it was punishable by death. So Io had watched over her daughter, Placing a hidden charm on the Jade hair clip that she had been given and usually wore. So that no one would harm either girl as long as they were in its rnage. Io Danae had noticed that today Callie had not worn it and knew where it must be. She had contacted ERisa, who did not want to believe the truth of their daughters for the punishment she would have to give out. It had Been Io's decree that the two planets join together. Callie would be incredibly surprised, Io thought.
"To me, Callie."
The court turned to see Princess Zephyr arrive. Her eyes glowed as bright as the ruby medaillion around her neck. Callie's feature softened immediately and the two ran to each other and embraced. Ion decended from her throne to welcome the girl.
"Welcome Zephyr. I am Calandra's mother. My name is Io Danae."
Zephyr stared at her new mother-in-law and began to laugh. Io Chuckled. Her spells had worked, and Callie caught the gleam in her eye. Her mother had known. This whole time her mother had known! Callie noticed that Zephyr carried her hair clip in her hand. Io chuckled again and said
"I see the charm worked."
Callie then realized that her mother had played a major part in her relationship without her knowledge. The hair clip must have had a charm on it to protect them. Queen Cynthia's words came into her head. "Jade has been for CEnturies a protection charm Calandra....."
Callie smiled. A whole new world was beginning.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Queen Calandra and Queen Zephyr became two of athe best loved and known rulers on their respective planets. They ruled with love and kindeness. They are to be examples to you two, Mako and Rei. Imitate them" Setsuna finished.
Rei and Makoto looked at each other and scooted away from each other. HAruka chuckled and all the senshi laughed when Makoto glared at her.
"Not every generation of Senshi had the Uranus and Neptune lovers i take it." Michiru said chuckling.
Setsuna laughed a little herself before replying.
"There has always been a lesbian couple in the senshi, all though it was not always the problem it had been when we where in the moon, Haruka."
Haruka had the grace to blush slightly while the others chuckled. The doorbell rang and the girls jumped. Michiru answered the door and Mamoru entered. Usagi jumped out of her seat and ran to him in one of her now famous bear hugs. Michiru smiled at the couple before the world went black around her.
