Setting/era: Silver Millenium. Queen Serenity brings the Earth
king's men-at-arms and the prince's warriors to the Moon Kingdom to
train the Moon Princess and her court in the arts. With the girls'
help, Queen Serenity brings the five young men, but the girls collapse,
their powers drained. The queen escorts the warriors and the
unconscious princesses into the castle.
*******
Duo whistled in awe as he carried Mina. The palace was beautiful,
done in white marble and gold, decorated with a crescent moon motif.
It was simple, yet luxrious and graceful. "You have a wonderful home,
Queen Serenity."
Queen Serenity smiled her thanks, her royal white gown whispering
softly as she walked beside them. "You are welcome here, gentlemen--
our home is your home. Just treat us as you would want to be and all
will be well. The Earth king neglected to mention your names. If you
would...?"
Duo smiled at the simple, gracious manner of the queen. If the Moon
Princess and her court were as friendly, he was sure they'd have no
problems getting along. Heero and Wufei, on the other hand, might be a
different matter.."I'm Duo Maxwell, m'lady."
Quatre nodded his head as he gently carried Amy. "Quatre Winner,
Highness. It's an honor to meet you."
Trowa moved along quietly beside him, supporting Lita against him.
"Trowa Barton, your Highness."
Wufei rolled his eyes at the formal tones, but showed respect and
tolerance as he bore Raye. "Wufei Chang, Queen Serenity."
"Sir Duo, Sir Trowa, Sir Quatre, Sir Wufei.." Queen Serenity murmured
absently, ticking the names off on her fingers before smiling at Heero.
"And you, sir? You hold my precious daughter in your arms--the least
you could do is tell me your name before you run away with her!" She
smiled mischieviously as she watched Heero flush. Judging by the
others' grins and chuckles, she sensed that this one wasn't good with
emotions.
Heero cleared his throat, chancing a glance down at the lunar maiden
before flushing furiously under the queen's intent gaze. "H-Heero Yuy,
your Highness." he stuttered, for once not the perfect soldier, as
everyone called him. He flushed again as the delicate princess he held
snuggled deeper into his chest, tucking her head into the curve
between neck and shoulder. Her content little sigh made him jump a
little as it breezed alongside his jaw.
The queen smiled as Heero's eyes bugged a bit at the intimate contact
between he and her daughter. Well, *this* could be interesting..."Sir
Heero, all of you, I thank you for coming to the Moon Kingdom. It
cannot have been easy, being so young to serve for the Earth king--why,
you're Serenity and the court's age!--but having to also make this
trip to a place you've never been, to a place full of strangers..."
"Prince Endymion and his generals are hardly older than us, your
Highness," Duo murmured, "so it hasn't been bad. And we're supposed to
travel the planets, to better serve the Earth royal family. Comes with
the territory to meet new people in different places. But the people
of the moon have been kind so far, so it shouldn't be any trouble!"
Queen Serenity sighed, knowing all too well how the planet court and
her daughter could be. "Yes, well..consider yourself justly warned."
She smiled fondly at her sleeping child. "My daughter and her court
can be...quite a handful."
"I heard that..." Serenity grumbled groggily from her spot in Heero's
arms. She cranked open one exhausted azure eye to glare balefully at
her mother. "I take a little nap and my dear mother is warning
newcomers!" she snorted.
Queen Serenity smiled. "Better to be forewarned and forearmed against
you and your court, daughter. Young Heero and his companions could
come to regret being here."
"Nonsense, Mother! We--" The term 'young' sank finally into Serenity's
head, and she gazed up wide-eyed at the young man who held her so
gently. Dark Prussian blue eyes stared back equally wide, and she
could feel herself sinking deeper and deeper into the mesmerizing
gaze....
"Usagi!!" A voice hissed suddenly, and Usagi jerked to life--only to
find herself not staring into a handsome, stunned face, but sitting at
her desk at school! She'd been...dreaming? But it had felt so real!
Her mother's gentle, smiling features, the nostalgic comfort of her
past life home, Silver Millenium, the Moon Kingdom, her friends..Even
the boy's arm around her shoulders had felt real--she could still feel
the press of his hand against the base of her neck. She rubbed
absently at her neck, frowning. Strange--she'd never dreamt about him
before, only her Mamo-chan, Endymion. She could even see the faces of
the boy's friends. Who was he, and why was she dreaming about a
complete stranger? Had she truly known him in the Silver Millenium?
"Tsukino Usagi, have you been listening to a word I said?!"
Usagi winced, glancing up at the red-haired woman towering over her
desk. "H-Hai, Haruna-sensei. You were--" She glanced over at her
friend, Naru Osaka, desperately, who mouthed the answer to her
silently. "You were talking about the War of 1812, and its birth of
the recent wars over the years."
Haruna-sensei's eyes narrowed suspiciously at her worst student
getting an answer right, but she nodded and walked away. "Hai,
correct. Now, Usagi, could you tell me..."
Usagi nodded gratefully to Naru before turning back to the front of
class. History, she groaned mentally. Why did she have to daydream in
History, her worst class? She smiled weakly at Haruna-sensei and
prayed she got the answer right.
******
"Usagi! What was your problem in history class? Haruna-san was
about ready to yank you out by your odangoes!"
Usagi turned to face her three friends racing up to her as they met
under the sakura trees during lunch. She sighed and shrugged
helplessly. "I really don't know, Mako-chan. I guess I was just
daydreaming."
Makoto Kino winked as she tilted her head curiously, the wind playing
with the curly brown ponytailed hair. "Must've been some dream, ne?
Probably to do with Mamoru-san?"
Usagi flushed as Minako Aino laughed, flipping back the blond tresses
almost as long as Usagi's odangoed hair. "Hai, that must be it! Nothing
else can set you off into dreamland like thoughts of your Mamo-chan!"
Usagi sputtered indignantly as Ami Mizuno shook her dark blue head,
the breezes curling the short ends. "You know she's right, Usagi-chan.
You turn positively loopy when you think of Mamoru-san. It's
impossible to reach you when you're like that--you go off into your
own little Mamo-chan world!"
Usagi protested as she glanced at the three. "Demo, minna-chan, that's
what I'm trying to tell you! It wasn't Mamo-chan, it was another guy!"
The wind howled suddenly, heightened by the dead silence from the
three speechless friends. Makoto sweatdropped.
"Onegai, Usagi-chan, onegai tell me that you and Mamoru-san haven't
broken up again!"
Usagi laughed weakly, though not finding it very funny. Somehow, she
and Mamo-chan had broken up too much for their own good over the years,
though not as bad as when Rini had first shown up. "Iie, we're still
together, Mako-chan! It was a dream about the Silver Millenium, a
warrior of Earth under Endymion's Generals. There were five of them,
actually..they were to teach us the arts."
Ami frowned. "Can you remember their names?"
Usagi shook her head. "Iie, I can't remember the specifics now. The
problem is, I've never dreamt about him before!"
"Nothing remembered as Serenity?" Minako questioned. Usagi shook her
head again. "Maybe we can get Rei-chan to do a fire reading later
after school and see if we can get anything else. You've never seen
him before in your memories of Silver Millenium?"
"Iie, Minako-chan. Nothing. I can only see his face--our age, dark
brown unruly hair, the darkest pair of blue eyes I've ever seen, stern
but handsome, nobly featured. And I saw a glimpse of his friend...
violet eyes, light brown hair--"
"Pulled back into a braid? Mischievious-looking?" Minako finished,
paling suddenly.
"Hai...?" Usagi blinked. How could Minako know? Unless...she placed a
trembling hand onto Minako's arm. "Minako..?"
She nodded. "I've seen that face in my dreams, too!"
Ami blinked at the comparison, then blushed. "I've been having dreams
of a blond-haired boy with blue eyes I've never seen before!" she
confessed quietly.
Usagi gasped as the others' faces came back to her, and she motioned
with her hand to her eyes. "Longish to here, sort of ruffled?"
Ami nodded. Usagi squeaked in surprise, azure eyes widening.
Makoto coughed nervously. "I've seen a face, too, when I dream. Dark,
solid, quiet green eyes, brown hair that hung--"
"Over one eye? Looked like he needed a haircut? Quiet and strong?"
Usagi finished faintly. Makoto nodded slowly. "I don't believe this...
Kami-sama, we're all having visions of guys we've never even seen
before!"
"Except possibly in the Silver Millenium.." Ami gasped.
Minako nodded. "Do you think Rei-chan's had any visions?"
Makoto shrugged. "Won't know until after school. This is too much to
tell on our communicators!" Her green eyes widened as she spotted Naru
coming toward them and motioned to Usagi discreetly. She nodded and
smiled brightly at her redhaired friend.
"Ohayo, Naru-chan! What's up?"
Naru smiled faintly, blue eyes narrowing suspiciously at the trio
gathered around Usagi. She knew they were friends and hung out
together a lot, but sometimes it seemed as if they shared something
else, some big secret. She could always sense it from them and the
Cherry Hill priestess who also hung out with them all, Rei Hino. She
wondered what the secret was..someday she'd have to pry it out of
Usagi, though she was fairly certain she'd never tell in a thousand
years.
"Ohayo, minna-chan! I was just wondering what was up with you during
class, Usa-chan. Dreaming about that cute boyfriend of yours, ne?"
"Heh heh..h-hai, Naru-chan. You caught me. Just daydreaming about the
one." Usagi chuckled weakly, blushing when the trio stared at her.
"NANI?!" she burst out, unnerved at their looks.
Minako sweatdropped, rolling pale blue eyes. "The one? Ah, Usa...!"
Usagi blushed furiously.
"Demo...iie, you read that wrong! I didn't mean it like that!!"
Naru blinked at the sudden disagreement that had popped up between the
four. Didn't they like Mamoru-san? She shook her head, sighing. She was
glad no one had that problem with Umino-kun! "Talk to you later, Usa-
chan!" she replied as she left the verbal fight. Hai, there was
something odd about Usagi and those girls. If only she knew what...
******
The most purest shade of blue eyes met his eyes, and Heero's
hardened soldier heart melted slightly at the lovely vision before him.
Pale golden hair that framed a flawless innocent face, curled into two
buns at each side of her head. The hair was like silk as his fingers
tangled in it as he held her to him. The blue eyes, so wide and filled
with so many emotions, were what pulled him.
It was as if her soul was reflected in her eyes. He could see pride,
honesty, compassion, wisdom..even stubborness and spirit. He knew her
mother spoke, but the words were just a buzz of gibberish as the girl
stared silently at him. He just stared back, and gulped as she smiled.
By the gods, she was beautiful. She dipped her head in greeting, small
delicate fingers curling tightly into his clothes.
"So, you are one of the Earth warriors..it is an honor to meet you. I
am Serenity, Princess of the Moon Kingdom. I hope you will like it
here."
Those eyes met his again, and he could feel himself drowning in those
expressive eyes. If he drowned, it wouldn't be a bad way to go...
"Iie!" A voice cried suddenly, blocking off the tenshi hime's eyes, and
he was surprised to find it to be his own voice, his own, very alone
frame as he jolted upright from his bed.
Breathing heavily, his chest heaving, Heero glanced wide-eyed at his
dark room, expecting to see those lovely eyes. He was astonished to
find he missed the girl, even though he didn't know her and had never
seen her before. Who was she, and why was he dreaming about her? Why
now?
