Title: A Lifetime with you – The Story of Unlikely Lovers
Prologue
Loud talking to the point of shouting could be heard by anyone passing the entrance to the conference room.
"You cannot!" The voice of the Queen Lilana of Jupiter thundered through the room. "To even think of such a thing is a disgrace to the Kingdom!"
"Why, may I ask?" Queen Selenity said coolly. She refrained from raising her voice like the temperamental Queen Lilana did.
"We know nothing of those pathetic creatures on that worthless planet. They are treacherous and deceitful. What reason would we even want an alliance with them? Besides we are very powerful."
"We maybe, for the present, but what of the future? Our enemies can use the earth against us. If they manage make an alliance with earth we would be in serious trouble. The earth resides close to moon, giving the enemy an advantage. We need to protect ourselves and strengthen any weakness. We must not give the enemy any advantage as they will surely exploit it." Queen Selenity explained while the Queen Lilana grumbled.
"If only King and Queen of Uranus were here they would agree with me," she said.
"You know why they aren't here," Queen Selenity said calmly.
"Because they have sense. They know that this proposal is wrong and should be thrown out the window. If we need anyone's help it is the help from the planet Uranus." Queen Arcadia of Mercury said. "Our relationship with them is becoming strained."
"I know Arcadia but we need an alliance with the earth people as well." Queen Selenity said rubbing her temples. All the arguing was giving her a headache.
"True Selenity, but the Uranians have always been our allies. They are a strong planet, besides the planet Jupiter. The earth doesn't even come close to matching their strength. Lilana is right. Forget about the earth and try to patch things up with Uranus. We need them," Queen Sandya of Mars added.
With a deep sigh, Queen Selenity got up. "I will consider the things spoken in this room." She got up and left the room with the others following.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Queen Selenity and the other Queens of the inner systems waited on the landing areas, awaiting the arrival of the Royals of the Outer system. Queen Selenity had finally gotten over her pride and disagreement with them to ask them to assemble for the important meeting.
Queen Selenity and Queen Mai were two of the closest friends. They had grown up together and remained close up until 3 months ago. Mai hated humans with a passion. She always said that they would be the Kingdom's undoing, but Serenity thought otherwise. She had no problem with the humans and had even made friends with the Earth's Monarchy, Queen Gaia and King Etsu.
When Selenity had told Mai of her plans to form an alliance with them, Mai had fought her fiercely on it. They argued and ended up not speaking to each other. But at this time, Selenity was beginning to regret all of it, and so was Mai. Alliances were needed and besides, good friends were hard to find those days.
Right on schedule, their ship landed. After it was secure, it opened and its occupants exited. While Mai and Selenity hadn't seen each other in person for years, they had talked often over the phone. All of the queens of the outer solar system were finally assembled together.
"It seems to me that only the queens came to this meeting," Setsuna said.
"Yep," Queen Sumi of Saturn said. She was pregnant with her first child.
"My husband said that someone needed to stay at home and take care of things."
"Mine too. How odd," Queen Miyoko of Venus said.
"I think it's safe to assume that all of us, save Selenity were sent here by our husbands," Queen Kaiya of Neptune said. Selenity and Mai were looking at each other. The other queens were a bit tense because they knew how those two had argued and didn't want to see it for themselves. But a break came when Mai noticed a tiny movement behind Selenity. She looked down and saw a small flash of white, not that that was unusual, but then again, when did Selenity add an extension to her skirt.
Selenity looked down to see what exactly Mai was looking at and saw her daughter. She had specifically told this little one to stay inside, while she attended to matters,but she had wanted to be with her mother so badly that she had snuck out of her room and to there. Laughing, Selenity brought her to the front.
"Oh my, is this little Serenity? My has she grown!" Mai said bending down to see her. Selenity watched as Mai picked her up.
"They do grow fast," Selenity commented.
"Of course they do. I should know. My little Haruka is six already! It seems like just yesterday I was holding him in my arms," She said.
"Oh she is so cute!" Sumi said picking Serenity up.
"She'll be just as beautiful as her mom," Kaiya said.
"No, even more beautiful. Selenity looks so old!" Miyoko said.
"I beg to differ. I look exceptional for my age. I've had at least 3 marriage proposals in the past month," Selenity said playfully.
"Yeah and they all wanted you for your power, not your looks," Lilana said.
"Humph," Selenity said.
"Aw, she's sulking girls," Mai said. "Don't worry Selenity, maybe you will marry again before you shrivel up like an old prune," Mai said giggling.
Everyone laughed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And so Selenity and Mai patched things up between them. As an extra show of good will, Selenity promised her daughter to Mai's son. They even made it official by signing the marriage papers, which would only need the ceremony to make it official and that would be when Serenity turned 17.
They also formed the alliance with Earth, much to Lilana and Mai's dismay. But the two kept quiet. And so began the brief relationship between the Earth and the Moon.
