Title: Moon's Force
Chapter Twelve
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***
** A year later, April 24th **
So this was the Moon. Flowers with soft white petals grew everywhere the grass touched. The air was fresh with a smell of lilacs and the wind breezed by softly over the planes where their ships landed. Large ships of silver metal lay down, flattening the beautiful flowers and green grass. Soldiers filed out in rows out of the hulls of each ship, generals barking orders left and right.
Queen Rei frowned, memories of her happy past life here on the planet rotating her new home. She'd been truly happy on this world, under the rule of the late Queen Serenity the first. Now she despised the land now governed by that woman's weak daughter. The raven haired woman's frown deepened and she walked forward, purple eyes taking in everything familiar and not. Running footsteps came behind her, so she turned to see General Swartz stop in his tracks at her hard gaze. Rei was only twenty or so yards away, why couldn't he use a com link?
- Stupid man, why did Endymion hire him to lead the troops under us?- Her com link buzzed on her ear and she pressed a button on her belt.
" What General Swartz?! Your interrupting my look around!" Rei smirked at seeing him shudder at the front of the first Terra ship.
" My apologies your majesty! Please forgive me, but you must come back to the ship." Swartz looked very scared, he'd noted Queen Rei's temper.
" Why General. You simply can't demand something of me and expect me to comply without an explanation! Besides that, I'm not ready to head back to the ship! How dare you try to order me around you imbecile!" Rei felt justified, and a lot better since she'd yelled at someone. She hadn't since she'd woken up from the landing.
" But your majesty! Their turning on the shields and your directly in the way! If you don't move, you'll be shocked!" Swartz stared concerned at the figure that was Rei twenty yards away. There was a buzzing sound behind him, he couldn't quite place what it is…
" Please Queen Rei! Move! You'll be out for days!!" General Swartz almost smacked his forehead, that was the engines powering the shields whirring to life!
" Grrr, don't make me angry Swartz! You may be my husbands pet, but I'l-ack!" Rei felt her body convulse and fall to the ground with a muffled thump. Electricity coursed through her like wild fire and she heard voices coming her way when her eyes rolled up into her head.
" Rei?!" Mina came running with two guards carrying a stretcher. Her hand went to her mouth to stop her giggling, but it didn't matter. She burst out laughing anyways.
" Man, she is so stupid! At least I would have listened when you told me to move!" Her mad laughter didn't stop for another hour while the doctors got Rei comfortable in her room for the next few days…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***
" They've landed." Sailor Neptune and Saturn bowed before Serenity, both trying not to laugh. They'd seen what had happened to her majesty Queen Rei.
" Yes, I figured it would be around now…You two seem amused by something. Care to share?" Serenity smiled at them, her eyes alive with amusement at their struggling forms.
" I should say it's a…dinner story my Queen." Saturn smiled with strain to stop from laughing.
" I understand. It must be funny if you can barely contain yourselves. Your excused." Serenity smiled at their hurriedly retreating backs.
- Rei is such and idiot! Makes a good clown…- Serenity chuckled to herself, then walked gracefully to the family room in the west wing.
**
Prince Sammy and Lady Lita grinned while playing with the little Princess Isibo. Isibo giggled more as both of them jumped at the close of the door, her dark blue eyes laughing at them. Lita turned her head and glared at the laughing Serenity, who had changed into civilian clothing on her way to the family room.
" Sere! You scared us to death!" Lita mocked glared her while Serenity picked up her baby girl.
" You'd think your training who have paid off well enough to have felt me down the hall. Hello Bo, having a good day?" Serenity giggled when her daughter did and bounced her on her knee.
" Of course she was having a good day. She was with her uncle Sammy."
Isibo seemed to have noticed they were talking about her, so she reached out and patted her mothers soft cheeks with her semi-thick little fingers.
A half hour went by quickly before it was time to dress for dinner.
" It's almost dinner time. You two go change to your civies, and come out to the East Terrace. I've arranged for dinner to be outside tonight."
They nodded, and Serenity walked off down the hall towards Isibo's nursery to change the Princess from her lavender chiffon dress.

Rei sat up groggy on the 26th of April, her head spinning, and her body tingling.
She was tired and pissed beyond belief. Her hand lifted itself over her head to a green button the wall. A screen glided down from the ceiling and a head of a light orange haired woman appeared.
" Get me my husband, Mina, and a doctor…now you dimwit!" Rei smacked the button after the woman unfroze from the terror she was in and started to hit buttons. The screen disappeared back into it's space in the ceiling and Rei laid back with a huff. Minutes later, the three people she'd wanted to see ran in her door.
" Glad to see you awake Rei! You should have listened to Swartz when he said to move though." Mina jumped back as Rei swatted at her roughly, obviously aiming for her blonde head.
" Shut up Mina!…Darien, attack tonight." Rei growled at the doctor stuck a thermometer in her ear.
" Why tonight?" Darien shrank back at her furious look.
" Why?! Because when I was shocked, Saturn and Neptune were watching from the trees, laughing their heads off! Somehow, I believe even Serenity was watching! The bitch…" Rei went on to mumble many more curses.
" Tomorrow night Rei, then you'll be well rested and you can lead the faction of soldiers you wanted."
" Fine then! Tomorrow night!" Rei pouted and huffed some more like a little kid not getting the toy she wanted. What ever it mattered, she wanted to battle and hurt just four people, no mercy for anyone who got in her way…
**
This same night, a ball was being held at the castle for Princess Isibo, who was turning one.
" Happy Birthday little princess!" Artemis kissed his daughters head, earning a giggle from her.
" Yes, happy birthday love!" Serenity did the same, but swirled her around the dance floor when a new song played from the orchestra. People laughed and watched the mother and daughter dance away. A happy night, one of the last for a while anyway…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***
