Chapter 2-The Outer Senshi

"It's almost time! It's almost time!" Serenity shrieked. She was waiting in the teleport room with her mother and the Inner Senshi. They were eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Outer Senshi. They all had on their Senshi Princess dresses. They were all long and flowing with short sleeves, empire waists, and square necklines. The only differences were the colors. They wore their planetary colors. Orange for Venus, blue for Mercury, green for Jupiter and red for Mars. Serenity wore the same basic dress she had worn to dinner last night. She only wore a different dress if there was a gala or ball. Four of the teleporters hummed, signifying people coming through. They all stopped at the same time and one woman at a time stepped through, also in their Senshi Princess dresses. The first woman to step out was as tall as Litana. She was strikingly beautiful and had deep magenta eyes and long deep green hair. She was wearing a garnet dress and had a long staff with a key-shaped garnet at the top, the Time Staff. She was Princess Setsuna Trista of Pluto, and the leader of the Outer Senshi as well as the newly appointed guardian of the Time Gates.

The next to step out was a frail looking young woman. She had amethyst eyes, porcelain skin, and neck length black hair. She wore a black dress and carried a tall glaive with the authority of one who was an expert at its use. Her name was Princess Hotaru Isis of Saturn, wielder of the Silence Glaive and the strongest and most-feared of all the Senshi, for she held the power of death and chaos.

The next to step out was an aqua haired beauty wearing an ocean green dress. Her hair was about the same length as Lita's and her eyes were the color of a stormy tropical ocean. Her title was Princess Michiru Amara of Neptune and Sailor Neptune, the holder of the Aqua Mirror. The last one to step through caused Princess Serenity to squeal happily. She was a tall, strong-looking woman with boyishly short sandy-blonde hair and navy blue eyes. She was wearing a navy blue dress and had a gold sword strapped around her waist. She was Princess Haruka Michelle of Uranus, wielder of the Space Sword and Sailor Uranus. She was also very close to Princess Serenity, who squealed again and hugged Haruka hard. Haruka chuckled. Her voice, when she spoke was husky and low- pitched.

"Hello Koneko. I think you've grown prettier since I last saw you. Greetings your Majesty." Haruka said, disentangling the excited Moon princess and bowing to Queen Selenity. The other Outer Senshi followed Haruka's example. Queen Selenity smiled.

"Ladies, please, calm down. The Black Moon princes are about to arrive."

Setsuna watched the girls quickly regain their composure, just as the teleporters hummed and one of the most beautiful men she had ever seen stepped out. Her eyes widened slightly at the tall, white haired, indigo-eyed prince of the Black Moon. He and his brother, who possessed the same eyes, but hair of a deep blue black, bowed to the assorted princesses.

The herald introduced them. "May I present the Prince Regent of the Black Moon, His Royal Highness Prince Demando? And second in line to the throne, His Royal Highness, Prince Safiru?"

The princesses curtseyed to the two princes as they were introduced. When the introductions were over, Safiru approached the tiny Princess of Saturn.

"Milady, perhaps I could entice you to show me around this lovely palace?"

Hotaru smiled shyly. "It would be my pleasure, milord."

Demando took no notice of Setsuna, who was watching him through lowered eyelashes. His gaze was instead fixed upon the delicate Princess of the Moon. Thankfully, Minako noticed the matching auras of the two saturnine young people and worked her magic. "Prince Demando, I understand you have a love of battle tactics. Princess Setsuna is one of the most renowned minds on the subject. Would you care to join us in a friendly discussion?" She asked smoothly, taking his arm.

"It would be my pleasure." Demando courteously extended an arm to Setsuna as well, and together they left the room.

Lita shrugged. "Well, I don't know about you, but I'm a bit hungry. Anyone want some cookies?"

Serenity's eyes lit up. "Do I? Let's go!" Laughing and chatting, Lita, Rei, Ami, Serenity, Michiru and Haruka made their way to the kitchen.

In the gardens, Hotaru and Safiru were deep in discussion about their favorite poets.

Setsuna and Demando were deep in conversation in one of the battle rooms, Minako having begged off due to a headache some time ago. Demando found himself transfixed by this merlot-eyed beauty.

In the kitchen, Serenity and crew were in the middle of a full-fledged flour fight.
