~*~*~ Gundam 07: Cosmic Darkness ~*~*~
By: Rogue Angel Barton
Rogue: Konnichiwa folks. Well today...
Wufei: *Grabbing Rogue around her waist* Can I have some fun tonight?
Rogue: *Glaring at Wufei* Don't tell me you're addicted...
Wufei: Well, maybe. Come on, let's have some fun.
Rogue: But I'm in the middle of the AN...
Wufei: Well come on... let's have some fun. *Lifts Rogue over her shoulder and lifts her on his shoulder*
Rogue: Wufei what's are you on?! *Gets carried away by Wufei*
*Duo come running in frantic*
Duo: Wufei! Those weren't vitamins you took! Those were my Prozac! *Looks around nervously and keeps running*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A single groan was heard as a small figure sat up. Rubbing her head, she felt her head explode with pain. Violet eyes blinked a few times, and realized that she could see. But it wasn't much. Everything was covered by a dense fog, and she could barely see three inches in front of her own face.
Slowly standing up, she realized that she was no longer in her battered and blood stained fuku. But instead, she was in a long, white gown. With a sigh, she twirled around, feeling the strange sensation of being in her Princess gown after several centuries.
She felt the blood drain from her face once she realized that had happened...
The Scouts found a way into the dimension... and attacked her. Pluto was...
She choked a sob as the tears stung her eyes. Looking around, she wondered if she had finally come to her final resting-place. No more battles... no more pain... no more being Shinimegami.
"I'm sorry Hotaru, but that can't be..."
Hotaru turned around a few times in search of that pained but musical voice. A bitter smile fell upon her ruby red lips as she wrapped her arms protectively around herself. With another look around, she finally found what she was looking for and sighed.
"Mother... why am I not surprised that they will not allow me to rest yet?" Hotaru asked bitterly.
At that point the fog lifted. A figure appeared and soon became clear. Queen Selenity's long silver hair shined brightly despite the lack of light, and her gray eyes were pained. Soon behind her, several other figures appeared, but would not show themselves to the Princess.
"I see the other gods are here as well. Well what is your verdict? I don't have the patience to stand around all day while those whom sits upon their seats in the sky decides the fate of us... mortals whom you neither know, or want to." Hotaru snapped at them, her eyes burning with rage.
"Hotaru..." Selenity began, trying to scold her daughter.
"No, no Selenity. It's quite alright. We chose her for her fiery temper..." A deep husky voice laughed.
"Well Zeus, nice to know you're still up there on your throne in the empty sky." Hotaru spat. She quickly turned around and with the wave of a hand, opened a window to view the Earth from space.
"That is the planet that you would die to protect Selene?" asked another melodious voice.
"Well Aphrodite, with your daughters going berserk in trying to kill me, I have to protect it."
Hotaru snapped around to see the white haired Zeus fidgeting, while Aphrodite for once bowed her head in shame, her long blond hair cascading around her face. She smiled bitterly at them and turned to watch the Earth.
"Come to finish their job Ares?"
The black haired God of War held his tongue, for once his temper could not respond to this... girl.
"Princess, calm yourself, I beg of you..." A smooth and quick tongued voice added.
"Siding with them Hermes?"
The quick-footed cloud hopper silenced and retreated into the cover of the mist. Four of the six great planetary gods bowed their head in silence as they watched the last two with interest.
"Come dear Selene. Perhaps your anger is mis-"
"If you tell me my anger is misplaced Poseidon, I shall make you cower in ever corner of the SEVEN SEAS!" Exclaimed the angry Shinimegami as her eyes burned even brighter.
The last planetary god Uranus held his tongue as he melted into the fog with the others. Even the higher gods feared the princess when she was angered. Even the father of all gods Uranus held his tongue.
"Dear Saturn..."
"Call me by that one more time father and I shall make you tremble in the core of Saturn..."
Selenity watched as this scene unfolded. It was true, Hotaru was more powerful and feared than Serenity ever was. At the sound of her voice, seven of the planetary gods trembled before her, even the father of the Earth based gods Uranus. Her father, the heartless Cronus silenced at a single word. This was not going well...
"My Princess, your anger is misplaced by dear."
The last planetary god stepped out from the fog. Clad from head to toe in black armor, his skin was deadly pale, and his dark eyes softened with concern. Hotaru turned to him and smiled.
"Dear Hades, coming to their rescue and mine?"
Hades bowed deeply at the waist and smile slightly. With a sigh and the wave of a hand, the other gods knew she had forgiven them and was back to the shy girl they all loved. Aphrodite smiled and hugged the girl quickly.
"There's my favorite dance student!" The blond goddess screamed.
Hotaru only giggled as the other gods greeted her. She saw that Hades was now scolding the sight and melting into the shadows once more.
"Dear Hades, no need to hide now. Come, you are still my dear uncle." Hotaru said smiling with the air of class.
Hades merely smiled and reappeared by Hotaru's side. The princess smiled at her uncle before a frown settled upon her face.
"Why have you all brought me here? Why am I not dead."
"Well Lil One, it was not your time yet. Besides, we have a present for you..." Zeus said laughingly.
Hotaru wrinkled her nose as her uncle laughed at her. Well, she would always be the little princess of the group she supposed. Zeus saw this and kissed her on the forehead. Hermes grinned at the young girl.
"Well, we are here, to restore your memories of the past my dear."
Hotaru's face was one of mixed emotions. It went through joy, then pain, and then some anger. She looked blankly at the gods.
"Why?" Hotaru asked darkly, glaring at the gods.
"Princess, in order to keep fighting..." Ares started.
"I don't want to keep fighting. Have I not fought and been through enough?!" Hotaru screamed in pain and anger.
"We're sorry Selene, but you're destiny, the greater destiny has not been fulfilled..." Aphrodite said, her eyes tearing up.
"Why me? It was always Serenity who had the greater destiny. I was merely Princess of Saturn." Hotaru sobbed.
"Listen to me girl! It was never her foolish wretch! It was always you! Now shut up and hear what the gods have to say!"
The gods and Hotaru turned to Cronus who stepped out form the shadows, his violet eyes blazing. Hotaru simply glared at him, and very slowly walked over to him. She raised her hand to slap him, but someone beat her to the punch.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock as Selenity's pale hand slapped Cronus hard across the face. Hotaru stepped back and gasped, her mother has never... never raised a finger up against anyone unless they were attacking her...
"Listen you... you heartless bastard! I spent years raising ou- MY DAUGHTER! And how dare you call her that! Have you helped her anytime since she was born?! No! So now don't you dare say that you good for nothing heartless creature! And if you ever dare again, I swear, you shall have hell to pay!"
Everyone only watched as the serene and peaceful goddess became red with anger, her eyes burning with a rage and hatred that none of them has ever seen. Hotaru stood, her eyes wide as her mother defended her. She knew Selenity wasn't her real mother, but she was more like it than anyone in the world.
"Selene?"
Hotaru turned to see Selenity's gray eyes shining with worry. Hotaru smiled and took her mother's hand in hers and led her to the small window she had opened. Selenity watched her daughter's every move. Through the years, she had learned that everything she did was for a reason.
"What do you see mother?" Hotaru asked suddenly.
"The Earth?" Selenity answered, confused. Hotaru smiled and shook her head.
"Yes that, but what does it stand for to you?"
"Well, it's a beautiful planet, perhaps the most beautiful in the galaxy. It radiates with emotions, the difference between each person. Although there is... evil in the world, the love and goodness of a few overshadows that. It's the most unique of all planets..." Selenity answered, her eyes in a far off daze.
"That's exactly what I would have said." Hotaru replied.
The princess looked up at Selenity and smiled a true genuine smile that was reserved only for her. The woman was not her real mother, but that made no difference. Selenity had taught her to love, to see the beautiful side of things, and not always the evil. This woman... was her mother... in her eyes.
"Well mother, what about those memories you were going to show me?" Hotaru asked brightly, grabbing Selenity's hand.
Selenity smiled and led her towards one of the time gates. Hotaru seemed surprised.
"We're going the good old fashion way. But we're only observing, no interference young lady!"
Selenity scolded Hotaru while she put on a look of mock shock. Selenity suddenly frowned.
"Your past... was not as smooth as it should have been. There will be some things that you did not know at the time. It will shock you, but be strong."
Hotaru nodded in acknowledgement. She knew everything was not right. Selenity held her hand, and they slipped into the gates of time... and memories...
~*~*~ Dear Readers, please know, from now on, in the chapters, until I tell you, it will be the past, even the next 1-3 chaps. Thank you. Now on to the featured past~*~*~
A small boy with black hair pulled back into a tight ponytail walked along side of an older man. The boy's black eyes were cynical, with pride and honor as the main source of strength. His small face was twisted in a frown, making him um… unchibilike?
"You say that the strongest warrior from the protector of the Moon Kingdom is a female? And a mere 6 year old?" The boy asked scornfully.
"Yes sire, she is the strongest of her kind. The princess of Mars, and a Sailor Scout." The man replied, bowing to the youth.
"I care not whether she is a Sailor Scout or some princess of a useless planet. I thought at least the Moon brat would be stronger than some… some… weak onna." The boy replied with a snort as she continued to walk in the garden.
"My prince, do not judge by the fact that she is a…"
"Hold your tongue servant. I shall be the judge this… this… weakling's power."
With that note, the young prince stomped off to prepare for the tournament. His mentor sighed as he rubbed his head. Perhaps the young prince would finally learn his lesson. Too bad that it was not Orion who taught him. With another sigh, the mentor hurried to report to Prince Endymion.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The young black haired youth seemed bored as he watched a warrior in full knight gear was knocked out by his opponent. The other knight seemed proud of himself as he waved at the crowd. The young warrior snorted as he thought the other man was unfit to be the victor. A warrior should know how to control himself or herself, he however, did not and was a complete disgrace.
"Well done Knight Tother. Your next opponent, is Princess Rei of Mars!" Announced the... announcer?
The prince stiffened just then. If she wins, then he will fight her. He snorted. Fight a weak onna? Not likely. But let's see what she was made of, and then put her in her place. His black eyes scanned the area. Where was this onna? Late?
Just then he noticed a figure jump onto the stage. His keen sights looked the girl over. Hm... a bit on the short side, but she was still taller than him. The young prince growled, he hated the fact that boys had growth spurts after the girls.
The girl had long, past the waist length raven hair with red highlights. Her eyes were violet, prideful and confident. She slowly dropped into a fighting stance. He could see by the way she held herself that she was well trained, and a warrior.
He watched with growing amusement as the girl played with the knight for a while. He watched as she allowed the knight to hit her a few times and then she would retaliate with a few weak punches or kicks. The knight was foolish and became over confidant.
"Dear princess, perhaps you should be inside doing needle work instead of outside playing with the men little princess."
The knight laughed after he said this. Wufei snorted, now the fool was in for it. He felt himself smirk as the young princess began to glow an eerie red. She simply smirked and launched a barrage of attacks at the stunned knight. After a few seconds, she beat the man with a high kick to the head, rendering him unconscious.
"The winner! Princess Rei OF MARS!!!" The announcer yelled.
The audience exploded with applause as the princess merely bowed, keeping her cool. Wufei smirked; she was stronger than he expected. Perhaps it will be a somewhat fair fight.
"The final match has come! Princess REI OF MARS!"
The crowd stood and the stadium shook from the force of the cheering. Wufei suddenly smiled and prepared for his entrance. The announcer put up his hands of silence and the crowd hushed. The announcer smiled and turned to the door, which Wufei was currently standing under.
"HER OPONENT! PRINCE DEIMON OF STELLAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The host screamed.
The audience once again began to cheer, just as loud as for Rei. The prince, now known as Deimon, stepped out from the dark doorway. His black hair still tied in that ponytail as he donned a white, Chinese martial arts outfit. Rei looked at him and cocked her head. So this was the guy that had dissed both her and her planet. She would not let him get off that easily, she thought as she smirked.
"THIS WILL BE SOME MATCH TO WATCH FOLKS!" The announcer said before jumping off the stage.
Deimon dropped to a stance and watched as Rei did the same. Rei suddenly launched herself at Deimon with a roundhouse kick combination. Deimon smiled and dodged each hit perfectly.
"AAAACHO!"
Deimon wrinkled his nose as he threw a punch at Rei.
"ACHOO!" Deimon sneezed again.
This gave Rei the chance to punch him in the stomach, sending him reeling. Deimon stood up bravely, but sneezed again. He blinked a few times before dodging Rei's punches. She came within a foot of him when he sneezed again. Rei stood there, motionless as Deimon sneezed again and again. He kept walking backwards and sneezing. Rei simply scratched her head and walked closer o him.
"AAAAAAAAAACCCCCHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Deimon got in one last sneeze. The force of the sneeze caused him to go flying into the air and landed on his ass off the platform. All was silent as the audience and announcer stared in shock. Deimon blinked a few times as well before realizing what had happened.
"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Deimon screamed as silence filled the air. Rei laughed her head off as the announcer simply blinked.
"Due to Deimon falling off of the platform... Rei....wins..."
Deimon glared at Rei before disappearing through a dark gateway. That was so embarrassing. What had happened?! How could he lose? Deimon growled as he ran to find his servant.
*****************************************************************************************************
A small blond boy sighed as he straightened his little black tuxedo. His short blond hair hung over his cherubic and slightly tanned face. He fidgeted with his bow-tie while another servant another servant redid the small buttons on his white dress shirt.
"Do I have to wear to this breast too?" The little prince asked.
The servant looked up and blinked a few times. The prince sighed and pointed to his vest. The servant laughed and quickly gave a look at the prince.
"My prince, that's not a breast, that's a vest." The servant said laughing and emphasizing the last word.
"not my fwault I wost ma toothy when Sethy pwushed me!" The blond replied pouting.
Suddenly, the door opened and in came a woman with long blond hair stepped into the room. The young boy waved the servant away and stepped up the beautiful woman. Her blue eyes twinkled as the young prince bowed to her.
"Wit's an hwonor my beautwiful Gwoddess Aphrodite."
"Hahahahah.... dear Prince Eros. Please do not bow!" The Goddess laughed.
The young Prince Eros stood and smiled his innocent boyish smile. Aphrodite led young Eros into a beautiful ballroom, with the sun shining in from every window.
"How are you enjoying you stay on Venus?" Aphrodite asked Eros.
"Yes ma'am. Wou're pwanet is simply beautiful." Eros complimented with the air of a true gentleman.
"I was rather happy that your mother decided to send you here to take dancing lessons. You are becoming a true young gentleman."
Eros blushed and looked around the Venus ballroom. It was all white marble, and yellow or orange silk curtains decorated the windows and carpets. He looked around and then heard some classic waltz music.
"Now, we'll begin by giving you a dance partner that already knows how to do this waltz."
Aphrodite called forth someone. Eros cocked his head. A small girl appeared, with big innocent and playful light blue eyes. Her long blond waist-length blond hair shimmered in the sun like gold, and fell neatly around her like waves of silk. She was short, but still taller than him. She had the innocence of a five year old, kinda like him.
"Prince Eros, meet my daughter, Minako, Princess of Venus."
Eros stepped toward and hesitantly bowed to the Princess. Minako curtsied and smiled politely at him, even though he knew it was strained, like his own. Aphrodite bent down and placed one hand on Minako's waist.
"Put you left hand here, like this." Aphrodite said while grasping Minako's left hand.
"And your right hand in her left hand."
"No..." Young Eros whispered.
Aphrodite blinked a few times. That was the first time any man or boy said no to Minako. She questioned Eros. Eros merely stepped back and pouted.
"GIRLS HAVE COOTIES!" Eros screamed before running around.
Minako and Aphrodite sweatdroppped and sighed. There goes the sophisticated image of little Eros.
A young Princess Mercury sighs as she ties the laces of her black ice skates. She hesitantly stood up and dusted the snow off of her light blue parachutes with two white lines going down each side. She fixed her little white yarn hat and placed the white yarn ball on top on the back. Her blue eyes betrayed her fear as she tugged on her white sweater with a little black snowflake in the center. The frigid wind tugged at her black vest as she shivered slightly.
"You can do it Ami, you can do it." The princess muttered, reassuring herself.
The five-year-old carefully placed one shaking foot on the smooth ice. She took a ragged breath and then gripped the railing tightly. Carefully, she placed the other foot on the ice as well and gasped. Her feet were shaking as she gripped the railing tighter and tighter. Her feet were wide apart while her knees were locked together.
With a heavy sigh, the young princess finally let go and hugged herself tightly and squeezed her eyes close.
"This isn't..."
Before she could say another word, the princess lost her balance, and fell face first onto the ice. Her white hat wen flying off her head as she let out a shriek. She felt her nose exploded in pain as she felt the cool surface come in contact with her face.
As she carefully lifted her head, a pair of black skates appeared before her. A second later, a small hand appeared with her lost hat. The young princess quickly grabbed the hat from the outstretched hand and braced herself with her hands on the ice.
"Thank..."
She never got to finish since her hand slipped from under the ice and the frozen water met her face... once again. The princess tried stubbornly and braced her hands on the ice again. The same thing happened, this time, she didn't even get to 'Th-'. A soft and low chuckled met her embarrassment as she carefully grabbed the railing and pulled herself up.
A pair of emerald eyes met her blushing face. Soft brown hair hung over one eye of the young boy, looking around 6 years old. He was tall for his age, at least with boys. His face was slightly tanned, his lips curved up in a small smile. He was wearing olive green cargoes and a green turtleneck.
"To think, the Princess of the Ice Planet, doesn't know how to skate..." The stranger said teasing her.
"I-I-I do to!" Mercury retaliated.
She carefully grabbed onto the railing, and pulled herself upright. Her eyes were still closed and her whole body was shaking with fear. She opened her eyes slowly when she realized that she was still standing. She grinned and then started to jump up and down.
"I did it! I can stand! Yeah!" The princess screamed.
Suddenly she looked down at the blue ice. With another scream, she fell to the ice and she screamed again in pain. The young man bent own and offered her a hand. She slowly and hesitantly grabbed his hand and pulled her to her feet.
"Help?" The young boy asked.
"Er....um... sure." The princess answered back stuttering.
"My Name is Epirus." His soft and silent voice suddenly said.
"And mine is Ami." The Princess answered as with another smile from Epirus, he spun her around.
********************************
A small boy with beautiful clear violet eyes yawned as he looked out the window. First grade... school... ack! With a sigh he forced himself to listen to the teacher once more. The teacher was a babe, long fiery red hair and soft brown eyes. A nice figure too.
The boy knew that it wasn't normal for a guy his age to be checking out even the teachers, but he was... as they say... mature and more open minded than others his age. Such as Eros.
At the thought of dear young and naive Eros the boy felt himself let out a snort. Eros, the boy was quite the looker even at 5. Golden blond hair and innocent blue eyes and the face of an angel, which girl could resist?
Too bad the boy hasn't discovered the true beauty of the opposite sex yet. HE thought they had cooties. Hah! With a beautiful smirk and another snort, the boy actually focused on the teacher. Might as well know what they were talking bout.
"And then in the fifth grade, you all will be learning about the reproductive system." The young teacher said with a smile.
"Ms. Hot, what's reproduce?" A young boy asked innocently.
The teacher looked around nervously, how was she suppose to answer that question?
"Dude, you see, reproducing's a very simple thing. In humans, it's simply the process in which a male sticks his penis up a woman's vagina. Then, semen, containing sperms are released. The sperms' purpose was to locate the egg, the reproductive cell of a female. One sperm would be able to gain access through the egg's thick protective membrane. If a sperm does gain access, the egg would become fertile. The egg would begin the process of dividing and soon, as nine months pass, it becomes a baby. Then the baby will be squeezed out from-"
Before the boy could finish, the teacher with a look of pure mortification grabbed his ear and dragged him out the classroom. He simply whimpered and let out a lot of 'Ow!'s.
"I have never! How dare you?! That was completely... completely... inappropriate! How, how dare! The audacity! You are to remain out here young man! Until I call you back in! Not one sound! Now stay out here!"
The teacher glared at the boy before marching back into the class to undo the damage he caused.
The boy rolled his eyes and leaned against the white marble walls. The moon, ugh. Why had his parents sent him here anyway? It was completely pointless; he would rather be with Orion and the others. But no, Eros had to be on Venus learning to dance from the best dance teacher in the universe. Epirus was on Mercury for some unknown reason. Deimon was on Mars he believed, a competition. News had arrived yesterday that the fiery prince had lost. He would never live that one down. A smile touched his lips, yes fun.
~~~
The young girl walked down the grand hallways of the Moon Palace with a yawn. Nothing exciting ever happened here. At least the others were arriving in a few days. Not even Selene and Serenity were on the Moon, and this was their home.
Rolling her dark emerald eyes, the girl continued to walk down the corridors aimlessly. Her ponytail bounced up and down as she skipped.
As she passed one hallway, she saw a young girl but kept walking. Suddenly she did a double take and backtracked.
Her eyes widened as curiosity forced her to walk closer to the child. It was a boy?!
A smirk appeared on her features. A kawaii boy too. Dressed in all black. A black dress shirt, and black jeans with a chain and black boots. Nice and silky looking chestnut hair... kawaii schoolboyish bangs, such a cute feature. And then she saw the reason that she thought this cute boy was a girl. In his right hand, he was swinging around and around a long chestnut braid. His eyes were closed, and the girl saw a devilish smirk upon his lips.
"Ahem..."
The boy's eyes snapped open at the sound of someone clearing their throat. An innocent smile replaced the smirk knowing that the smile will get him far. His eyes settled upon a beautiful girl around his age, pretty tall too, taller than he did. Inwardly he groaned, just this once he would like to meet a girl shorter than him... his same age of course.
A cute girl, a little too rugged for him though. Brown hair, darker than his own, tied in a bouncy and lively ponytail with two wisps framing her pale face. Big, and he meant big kind and innocent forest green eyes. They almost looked like Epirus'. Ruby red lips twisted into a kawaii smile.
She wore a simply dark green turtleneck and a pair of faded blue jeans. He cocked his head slightly, he had never met a girl on the moon who wore regular clothes. Everyone was always wearing their princess gowns in hope to impress a young man like himself, and what a fine young man he was.
"Why are you out here?"
The boy looked at the girl before him. The voice kind of matched her he supposed. But now was not the time to think of it. Time to pour on the charm.
"Well my beautiful lady, it's a long story." He said with an irresistible smile.
"Well, I don't have to go back to class, and I have time..." The girl said with a smirk as well.
"Then I suppose I can tell you over say... some soda?"
The boy asked with a smile as he pushed himself away from the wall and walked to her with a soft look in his eyes. The girl blushed slightly before winking. The boy grinned and mentioned for him to follow him.
"MY lady, my name is Seth, at you most humble service." HE said with a cute bow.
"And mine is Makoto kind sir. Now as for that soda you offered me..." She whispered.
Seth felt himself blush. Never had a girl or woman caused him to blush before. With another grin, he walked down the halls with her. She might be fun to play around with.
~*~*~
A boy around 8 sighed with contentment as he leaned against a tree. He was currently in the most beautiful garden in the world, the garden of the Grand Palace of the Moon. The wind ruffled his black short hair. He watched with narrowed blue eyes as his little brother attempted to fly. He stared with envy at his little 6-year-old brother's pure white angel wings. Although the little one was already six, he could not use his wings very well. And their parents never liked him using his wings. So his little brother was just learning now. HE watched as his little brother ran up and down. He was dressed in armor like his, except it was black, with edges of pure gold. His dark brown hair was like in a mushroom cut. The front was up to his nose and as they went back, they decreased in length. His Prussian blue eyes filled with joy and happiness. Yes, Orion Polaris Jr. truly deserved the title The Prince of Light.
"Endy! Endy!"
The older boy, nicknamed 'Endy' stood up as his little brother managed to hover an inch about the ground. The boy smiled and walked over to his little brother.
"Come back here Serenity!"
The two boys watched as two angels ran into the garden. One was very young, about 2 or 3 with blonde hair and odangos on top of her head. Her blue eyes were glittering with joy and mischief. Another girl behind her appeared. Her raven hair was cut neatly above her shoulders, her violet eyes dancing with happiness and playfulness. The girl stopped and looked at the two strange boys. Orion gently glided down and stopped in front of the older girl. This one's dress was pure white, and looked like a like a chibi version of the dress Queen Selenity wears.
"Who are you two boys?"
The girl with the raven hair stepped toward and carefully inspected the two boys. One was about seven or eight, with lightweight, blue armor and a dark blue cape. A sword hung at his side, as his dark blue eyes stayed transfixed upon the younger girl.
She turned her sights on the other boy. His dark brown hair was a little messy, but you can almost see individual strands. His bangs were long and but in the back it was shorter. His Prussian blue eyes were innocent and happy. His armor was black and gold, like the older boy's. What got her, were those two huge white angel wings on his back. She watched with excitement as they fluttered and then wrapped around him like a cape.
"We are the princes from Earth. I am Prince Endymion, and that little guy is my little brother, Prince Orion. You two ladies are?" Endymion introduced with a smile.
"I am Princess Selene from the Moon, and this is my sister, Princess Serenity."
The boys bowed deeply to the two, for they were the princesses of the moon, the greatest family in the universe.
"Forgive us fair Pwrincess Selene. For we did not recognize you. Alwow me to say, that it is qwite an hwonor to meet you."
Selene giggled as Orion bent down to kiss her hand, but then fell since he bowed too low. He looked up and smiled sheepishly. Her cheeks were tainted with red as she looked at the young prince that was still holding her hand.
"Orion."
Orion snapped to look at his brother, who was holding Princess Serenity in his arms. The little princess was holding onto Endymion's neck with an adorable smile.
"We'll be going to join mother and father at the grand feast."
Orion nodded as Endymion carried Serenity into the ballroom. He sighed and then stretched his wings. Working with them usually tired him out. He sat down on the fountain's edge and carefully folded his wings behind him. Selene walked up to him.
"So you're the prince of Earth with the legendary Angel Wings of Hope."
"And you're the beautiful princess of Light that will take your mother's place and rid the universe of all ewil."
They both looked at each other and blushed. Orion suddenly leaned forward and planted a small peck on Selene's cheek. Selene wached with wide eyes and then laughed as she noticed Orion's wings flap and flutter with embarrassment and joy.
"We ware to marwy one day Selene. You do wealize that wight?"
Selene blushed and then started running for the ballroom. Orion jumped off the edge of the fountain and started running after her. But his wings were getting in the way so...POP! HE made them disappear. But his black armor was slowing him down. He watched as Selene ran into the ballroom. With a last effort to catch her, Orion popped his armor away as well. As he ran into the ballroom, everyone was watching him. He looked down and blushed when he realized that he was only wearing his chibiboxers. But they were still too big so he grabbed them as they were falling and hid behind someone's cape. The whole hall started to laugh at the cute little prince of earth. Orion's mother, Queen Esabell of Earth stepped toward.
"My little prince, why aren't you wearing anything?"
"Well, mom, er....I was chasing Princess Selene, but my armor and wings were getting in the way, so I popped them out."
Endymion came forward with a look of complete mortification.
"You tried to rape her?" He screamed.
Orion looked up innocently at Endymion with huge blue eyes and cocked his head to one side. He scratched his head and blinked.
"What wis wape?"
The mischievous Seth stepped toward with his finger pointed upward and his eyes closed in a very scholarly fashion and tried to explain.
"Rape, is the act, in which, a guy pulls his pants off and precedes to take away the virginity of a woman or in other words to stick his..."
The young and naive Eros burst forth from his friends' side and covered his ears as if in pain.
"MY POOR POOR POOR EARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"...up a female's..." Seth continued.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Everyone watched as the young and kawaii prince fainted onto the floor. ChibiVenus looked at the little blond prince upon the floor.
"This guy's gwonna be the Pwince of ruv? He don't know nothing about ruv!!!!!"
The hall laughed at the cute little future guardians of the universe. Queen Selenity laughed at the little blond prince as his friends poured some water on him in attempt to awaken him. The little blond muttered a few words before blushing as he looked down at his wet cloths. She then turned her attention to the young Prince of Earth and smiled...
"Then why don't you pop your clothes back little one?"
Orion blushed and bowed his head.
"I don't know how, long silver haired ladimity."
Endymion suddenly came and smacked Orion's head.
"That's Queen Selenity Orion!"
Orion grabbed his head and cried. One hand holding the back of his head, and the other holding his over sized boxers, he ran to Queen Selenity and being so small, hugged her knees. He looked up at her with his big, sad Prussian eyes and sniffed.
"That huwt your majesty! Endy is such a weeny! I mean a leeni! I mean a feeny! I mean a meanie! Ouchies!" The little boy whimpered.
The Queen laughed softly and then bent down to kiss Orion's head.
"But my sweet little prince, you're only in your baggy boxers!"
Orion held his head and started crying again.
"I don't know how to get my clothes back!!!! I'm going to be going around butt naked!"
Then the whole hall watched as the back of Orion's boxers came off, revealing his cute little behind. Seth laughed and pointed at Orion's behind.
"Now you're really butt naked H-chan!"
Prince Deimon scowled and pulled on poor Seth's beautiful braid.
"That is Prince Orion in public you baka!"
Orion shook his head and then popped out his wings to cover his little behind. Seth was now rolling on the floor holding his stomach. Orion's other friends were having a hard time keeping in their laughter as well. Then King Orion of Earth looked at his son with a smile and his eyes dancing with mirth.
"But tiger, you can pop them back if you try!"
The Queen of Earth looked pointingly at her husband and snorted.
"Look who's talking! You're the one who learned how to do that at the age of 19!"
"Well you liked dressing me for two years and you were disappointed when I learned how to do it!" The King retorted,
the whole hall was filled with laughter at the funny family of Earth and their son's royal court. Orion was now blushing and holding onto his boxers with both hands. The Queen only laughed while Selene grabbed onto her legs and Serenity leaned against Endymion.
"My sweet prince of Earth, why don't you change into something else? You surely must of brought something with you since you're staying for a while here on the moon."
Orion nodded and quickly ran off to his room. A few minutes later, the little prince reappeared. Everyone gasped as they saw what the prince was wearing. Little brown boot adorned his feet, baggy loose black parachutes added to his small look; a blue T-shirt under a dark red and plaid long sleeve open shirt and a gold chain with an omega sigh attached hung around his neck.
"My little prince, isn't there something else more appropriate to wear?"
"Sowwy your majesty, but I didn't bring anything else. Endy forgot to pack for mwe."
The Queen nodded and the party resumed. She then caught sight of King Orion with a black eye slowly walking away. She watched as Queen Esabell soon appeared, put her glove back on, smoothed her dress, and then joined the other Queens to talk. She shook her head in thoughts of the fact that they were her future in laws. She laughed at the thought and then shook her head. She decided to make an announcement and then tapped on the glass. Everyone silenced and watched the Queen in anticipation. Everyone was quiet.... or so they thought.
"E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P!!!!! QRS! TUWV! DOUBLE MU U-X! Y AND Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I know my ABC's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next time won't you sing with ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Everyone clapped as the little Prince of Stellar, Prince Deimon finished his ABC song. Deimon looked up and looked around confused.
"What is eweryone clapping for?"
Deimon stood up and walked to his mother, Queen Hera and climbed onto her lap.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Selene witnessed the entire thing and shook his head. This was not like any other Moon balls that she's been to, and she's been to a lot. She watched as the young Prince of Earth talked to his friends. Seth, hm... he was a pretty kawaii boy with light chestnut hair and beautiful light violet eyes. His violet eyes were the only features that would give off any suggestion that he was the older brother of the young Princess Mars. Actually, they were twins, but Seth was about a minute earlier. Selene also heard that Makoto and Seth has been seen drinking sodas in the garden.
Standing next to him was the little blond prince who was so innocent and completely kawaii. His blue eyes were soft as he shyly looked in the direction of Minako of Venus, who was standing next to Selene. The kawaii blond princess giggled when she felt Eros' eyes on her and turned to talk to Ami. The young Prince Eros. Being the Prince of Neptune automatically made him seem so gentle and sweet. And being the younger brother of Michiru made him all the more like a little gentleman.
Selene smiled as she heard her friends giggle. She turned to see the other princesses looking at the boys. She saw Princess Rei of Mars glaring at one of them however. She followed her glaze and landed upon a black haired youth. Yes, Prince Deimon of Stellar. A prideful boy with a lot of skill and potential on the battlefield. He was rude and sexist, unlike his kind cousin Princess Ami. He was about six, older than Ami.
Speaking of Ami... Selene's eyes fell upon the boy that was rumored to have taught the shy Mercury Princess how to skate. The boy was tall for his age, especially since girls had growth spurt first. He had wise emerald eyes, and was silent most of the time. He was Prince of Jupiter, Prince Epirus, the older brother of Makoto by one year. He turned to her when he felt eyes upon him, and did a brief bow. Selene curtsied slightly in return.
And then there was the last great Prince at the party, Prince Orion from Earth. She just met him a while ago, but he seemed nice. The thought of marrying him one day made her blush. So he knew... her mother had told her just yesterday. To insure the best, they were betrothed since they were born. But to be told in such a kawaii but blunt fashion... hm. Perhaps they can be friends. HE didn't seem to be as unreasonable as Deimon, and not as quiet as Epirus. But if he was as talkative and flirtatious as Seth, she would scream. And hopefully not as naive as Eros, but she could over look that part.
"SETH YOU ARE WEAK!"
Looking at Deimon, she watched as the boy glared at a smiling Seth. He growled slightly before advancing towards the boy. However a look from Epirus calmed them.
She smiled as her sights landed on Prince Orion once again. To her surprise, the boy suddenly turned around and smiled his lopsided grin. He detached himself from his friends and hesitantly walked over to her. Once reaching her, he grinned again and offered her his hand.
"Dance?"
She nodded and took his hand. The little six-year-old prince was a very good dancer. The two waltzed around the room while the adults decided that they were perfect for each other. Orion's hand was on the small of her waist while he gripped her hand. All of a sudden, Orion's white wings sprung toward, showering them in white fluffy feathers. Then, his clothes faded and became his black and gold armor. His wings gently rested at her sides and hugged them both. Selene was surprise and then laughed as a feather tickled her nose. Orion took this chance to lean toward, and placed a cute little peck on her right cheek.
