Things were now peaceful back on the Moon Kingdom, the cats finally went there separate ways in a furry. Serenity and Lita came running down the hall with wrapped presents, "Whew we made it!" Serena panted.

Rei cocked an eyebrow, "E tu Lita?"

Lita's eye twitched, "Um yeah." she laughed.

"Well come on, let's get to the throne room." Mina said.

"Excuse me ladies." a male figure bowed, nearly scaring Serenity out of her meatballs.

"Calm yourself Serena, it's just Marcus." Rei laughed.

Marcus, head of her majesties guards cleared his throat, "I was sent to find you and to tell you to come to the throne room. Her majesty wishes to speak with you all before the guests arrive."

Ami smiled, "Thank you General Marcus, we are on our way."

Marcus bowed once more and then retreated down the hall towards the throne room himself.

"Let's book it!" Mina smiled as the girls walked down the hall after Marcus. They finally reached the throne room and went in.

"Pluto?!" the five girls asked in shock.

The Senshi of Time turned and faced the girls and bowed, "Nice to see you princess. Girls."

"You too Pluto-Sensi." Ami bowed not worried about what she may be doing here.

The others on the other hand were just a little nervous. Serenity glanced up at her mother, who just smiled back.

'Oh good.' the princess sighed to herself. "Nothing is wrong." she smiled to the other girls, who in turn smiled back at Pluto.

'Always so uptight, they really must learn to relax.' Pluto thought.

"Well majesty, I am off. Oh and your guest are en route." Pluto smiled and twirled the Time Staff, causing her to vanish in a purple light.

The Moon queens happy demeanor vanished, "Now?" her eyes widened.

Marcus cleared his throat, which in turn made the queen very happy, "Ah Marcus, please go and prepare a landing crew for the shuttle."

"Yes majesty." he bowed and left the room.

"Girls, I have decided not to decorate the palace." the queen started.

Serena's jaw dropped to the floor, "But...but..." she stammered.

"You are going to do it this year and the birthday girls are gonna help you." she finished.

The princess rubbed her hands together, "Oh this is gonna be great! We get to decorate!"

The girls all looked at her and sweat dropped, they all had an image of Serena wrapped in crepe paper wailing, "Get it off me! Get it OFF!" It took all the power they had not to crack.

Speeding through the sky the shuttle carrying the guests of honor was almost to it's destination, "Oh there it is!" Kat gasped as the Moon Kingdom came into view.

"It's been a while, it's so beautiful!" Amber smiled as she looked at the gardens by the landing

pad.

"Look down there. Can you girls tell me what planet that is?" Queen Minerva pointed down at the blue and green orb.

Something flashed in April's mind as she stared at it, "Earth." she mumbled.

"Very good!" her mother beamed, snapping April out of her phase.

"Highness we are ready to dock." a guard bowed.

"Very well, go ahead." Queen Minerva waved a hand.

Within minutes all four of them were being greeted by the Moon court.

"Rena!" Kat giggled as she ran to her cousin Serena.

"Wow look at you! You have all grown so much!" the princess smiled.

A young man with short brown hair and icy blue eyes cleared his throat, "Hello April." he spoke finally. April turned around and studied the man before her, 'Do I know him?' she thought.

It then dawned on Marcus, she didn't remember him!

"Marcus is that you?" Amber gasped in amazement.

The man smiled, "In the flesh."

Something inside April clicked and she ran towards him, "Now wait a minute!" he gasped backing up, not sure what was gonna happen, after all, he had not wrote to her in a long time.

He was surprised when she threw her arms around him in a great big hug, "Oh I missed you so much! You sure have changed!" April gushed.

Not knowing what to do Marcus returned the hug, "Yeah you have too! Your all grown up and everything." he smiled, not knowing why he felt funny.

They finally broke the hug and turned back to the others, "Ha! He did remember me!" she

smiled. They all adjourned to the dining room so they could all sit down and talk. Marcus bowed and started leaving the room.

"Where are you going General?" Queen Serenity smiled.

"Um...I just don't..." he started.

"Belong? That's nonsense! You are like family! Come and join us. I am sure you and April have much to catch up on." Queen Serenity motioned to an empty chair by her niece.

Marcus bowed and took the seat quickly, "So do you remember the frog I put in your hair?" he smirked.

April laughed, "Do you remember the 'dip' that you took afterwards?" she winked.

"Touche` princess." he bowed his head.
