She the first to arrive on the Moon. Her good sweet friend was waiting for her of course on the veranda. When she got there her little princess was waiting. She looked even older than the last time they had met. As always Serenity was happy and overly-excited for their visit.
Soon the other princesses would be arriving. So after much pulling on her arm, Rei conceded to sitting in the gardens and having tea.
"Oh Rei-Chan how I've missed you." Serenity sat down in a white wicker chair, the sunlight making her blond hair shimmer white in the summer sun. Her knees were touching under her normal white dress with golden circles looping across her chest. She was a lily and still so young for a princess.
"I've missed you too Serenity." She smiled a friends smile. A secret passing between them as they said their scared names again. " I saw you're note. You could have gotten me in trouble writing that.
"Hee. I know but it was all in fun. So tell me Rei-Chan," she spoke the syllable so calmly like it was all too natural. "What has been going on you're life? Are you happy?
Rei couldn't help but smile at the silliness of her princess.
"Yes. I'm happy.
"Are you?
Rei was not expecting this great change in emotions so quickly. Although her joy was still beaming out of those gray eyes, a slight cloud of worry had come over her friend.
"Serenity. I'm fine. Now that I'm her I can take my mind off of other things anyway right?
"Right! That's what you're here for.
"No I'm here for the meeting. Remember? We have to discuss certain plans. Don't forget.
"Oh no Rei Chan not you too." She giggled and waved her hand around sweeping the seriousness from the air. " You're also here for the festival. And we'll have so much fun.
Rei giggled. "Serenity! I have missed you." The two girls happily wrapped their arms around one another.
A new voice broke them apart.
"Didn't you miss me too?
"Mako-Chan!" She jumped up as always and rushed to her taller friend with the wavy brunette hair. "I did not expect you so soon!
"Oh had to come Princess! How would I have survived without you?
The white lady sighed exasperated. "Oh Mako-Chan I am DIEING here. I would much rather eat something you made for me than what cook boils." She scrunched up her nose as they walked back to the benches and chairs.
Rei had been smiling in to her hand but now she rose and hugged her friend.
There was so much the two of them understood about one another that the others just couldn't understand.
"Rei-Chan it's been much too long.
"I know it has. But now we'll have time to talk." They chatted a while longer until The little princess of Mercury arrived.
A large grin crossed Rei face when she happened around one to the walls of the garden. She had small baby's breath tied in a hoop around her a head. They took hands and giggled about recent events. Their tea came they sat out in the sun just chatting like old friends.
"Now all we're missing in Venus. Where is she?
"She's coming in a while. I didn't think she'd take this long
"What is she doing Ami?" Rei sipped her tea anxiously.
Ami shrugged and explained that she had some business to attend to.
Not five minutes had past before the blond one appeared before them in the distance. Serenity immediately jumped up and ran with arms out spread like an airplane.
In the distance a shrill cry echoed, "Minako-san! How I've missed you!" The two jumped up and down. Ami, Rei, and Mako exchanged glances and began to laugh once more. After Minako had bid hellos to all the others she made a special point of turning to the princess of Mars last. She clasped her hands around the mars princess's waist and pressed her forehead to hers.
"Rei-Chan it's bee a while since out last letter. We must talk while we are here." Minako gave a classic great big smile and kissed her cheek.
"Ah! How I have missed you all! It's been too long." The princess of Mercury beamed in her simple way. She motioned to sit down in the white wicker chairs and they did so.
The princess of Mars sighed internally. ÔI must admit, we look quite picturesque. But I feel times like these days will not last long. She shook off the shiver climbing her skin and turned to the jovial princesses. "Serenity was just telling us about what the meeting is about.
"Yes the council is tonight, is it not?" Mako wearily brushed her hair behind her shoulder. "I mean that is what were here for." She sighed and glanced at the Moon princess. Ami-Chan changed the subject after a quick glance at the white princess.
"It is tonight. But let's not think on that now! (She smiled) Minako! We can show you to your room! How long will you be able to stay? The trinket festival was mentioned. They chatted while Mako followed Ami's direction and put her empty glass on the tray of the passing maid and stood, taking Selene's hand gently helping her stand. "Your room is on the second floor Minako." So they began to walk and talk about the future plans. Ami was taken by the arm of Makoto and serenity bounded ahead to walk backwards and talk.
Mars linked her arm with Minako's as they began their walk into the house. "Yes. Do stay at least until the festival!
"This will be the best one yet! Mother had got this beautiful theme of pearls hung form the ceiling with large feathers! But I told her I thought that if we did the feathers people might think the moon was eccentric! But she told me that-" but the princess of Mars began to pull slightly on her friend's arm to slow her down.
The golden girl turned to face her friend to meet eyes more worried than she had expected. "Minako-san I've got to talk to you. I- I mean," Rei shook slightly under Minako's warm touch. Her elegant nature seemed a bit broken. She really need to get this off her chest. a and who better to admit it to than her best friend? Minako though had a way of knowing what was on her mind. Although she couldn't possibly guess what was going on in her mind now, she kept her eyes slightly lowered s she wouldn't' figure anything out too soon.
"Nani? Enyalis? You want to talk now? Before the council? Or afterward?" she took her hands in her own. Rei loved their intimacy. Even the fire princess could feel cold without the ones she loved.
The name made her blink back happy tears. Enyalis was the name of her goddess. They often called each other that when in the most private of moments.
"After, I'll come to your room. K?
Her lovely green woman shouted over the banister. "Hurry up you two!
"Yeah what are you talking about so secretly?" A white one joined her at the elbow while Ami thought it better to leave it be as much as she could.
"Nothing Selene! Were talking about music!" Rei beamed up and lied. Minako seemed to smirk.
"Music! Oh yes we must have an orchestra of violins this year!" the daisy blue princess clapped her hands and beaconed the two on the ground to hurry and follow up the stairs.
Minako smiled and kept her hand grapping Rei's. Her big corn eyes lit up and they raced up stairs.
"Venus, you child! I'm coming hold on! I'm coming.
