*********************************
The senshi all met up in Serenity's room to discuss the ball plans and tell of their work with the earthen generals.
"I'm so excited!" cried Mina, bouncing around the room, "He's taking me to the ball! What should I wear? By Sunyena, the sun goddess, WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR!"
"Calm down Mina, it's not that big of a deal." Said Lita, "Nephrite's taking me and it really won't matter what I wear."
"Well I'm glad you all are happy, but Queen Selene is going to be so mad at me! Lord Jadeite didn't want my help for an escort! What if he doesn't come with one?" Ami was flustered and in a panic. She'd been this way since the general had rejected her offer of help.
"Calm down, sweet" Serenity came to gently hug her friend, "Mother can't do anything if the man doesn't accept our hospitality. The blame won't fall upon you." Ami smiled gratefully at her.
"You are sure, Sere?" she asked quietly.
"Positive." The moon princess smiled.
Suddenly realizing they had not heard a word from Rei, they all looked at her expectantly. "What?" she said irritably
"What of General Zoicite, Rei?" Mina said with narrowed eyes.
"We spoke about it and he agreed to have Lady Anale come with him." She said simply, "He seemed very bored with it all."
Ami felt a sharp pang in her chest. He hadn't even asked after her? After pursuing her interest for the entire two weeks he had been here, the man didn't even ask on her behalf? Lady Anale was the most beautiful woman in court, aside from her friends that is. Mina was radiant like the sun and Lita had a tall, slender grace about her. Rei was exotic and fiery, and Serenity was.well Sere was even out of their league. But what did she have? 'I have nothing.' Ami thought.
"Something wrong Ami?" Rei asked innocently. The Mercurian could see the churning of her friend's mind through her eyes. Something was amiss.
"No. No, of course not."
*******************************
"I can't believe I'm actually going to be dancing with her." Neph said in awe, "I'll be holding her and touching her and-"
"Put a cork in it, lover boy." Said Jadeite grumpily, "Some of us don't have the date of our choice. In fact, some of us don't have a date at all!"
"By 'some of us' I presume you're talking about yourself." Zoi laughed, then sighed, "I'm not entirely sure this is going to work with Princess Ami. Lady Rei assured me it would, but still."
Endymion walked in at that moment with Malachite by his side. "What's the matter, guys?" the prince asked.
"Blockhead over here has the inability to cease speech about his 'Jovian flower' and this other idiot keeps rambling on about some sort of plan to woo 'his Ami'" said Jadeite spitefully.
Endymion chuckled and pointed to the two who had been insulted, "Something tells me that they're in better shape than you, Jade."
Jadeite glared at his royal friend and stalked out of the room. "He's been beating himself up ever since Princess Rei stopped talking to him. I can't figure out why he's so mad about the ball, though." Zoicite said.
"It's because he's not going with Rei." Malachite rumbled, "He's mad because she'd ignoring him because he thinks it's his fault she cried, which it probably is."
"Speaking of the ball, Mal, who'd princess Mina set you up with?" said Endymion curiously.
"Herself." He quipped. The rest of them burst out laughing.
"Mal's got it bad guys!" Endy cried. Malachite glowered at them. The truth was, the little Venusian was the best thing that had ever happened to him since becoming the leader of the Guard. She made him laugh and smile and even though he hated it, she also made him softer. Which was exactly the reason why he had to get way from her. A woman wouldn't bend him out of shape. It was against all his morals.
"So Endy" he said coolly, "What do you think of Serenity? I know you two have been spending some time with each other."
The prince grinned at his lead general, "She's really quite adorable, but I think I prefer bittersweet ladies like Lily."
"Bittersweet, my ass." Jade mumbled
"What was that Jadeite?" Endy asked.
"Oh...um...I said that I should sweep some..grass. Like cut it, with my new sword."
Endymion knew better than to ask by now. "Well boys, tomorrow night I am officially engaged, which means you all will have to deal with my mood until then, so I suggest you leave for now, whilst I throw a temper tantrum."
The generals laughed heartily as they went to their rooms for the night.
*********************************
"You know, I love this color on you, Lita, it brings out your soft side" said Mina, holding up a rosy pink eye shadow.
"Rei, I don't think this dress is appropriate." said Ami uncomfortably. Her Martian friend had equipped her with an ice blue dress, which had a dangerously low scoop neck and absolutely no back. The girls had decided on a common theme for the ball, the goddesses of their choice. On Ami's dress there were shimmering depictions of Iseni, the goddess of ice. They were everywhere, but hardly visible because their color was only a slight shade lighter than that of her dress so she emitted a special aura of brilliance. Decorating the belling sleeves, the trim of the lovely dress, and the waistline were small swirls of a dark blue like the churning of the sea.
"Don't worry Ami, you look marvelous." Cried Mina. She herself had chosen the sun goddess, Sunyena, as her special design. Mina's dress was a golden yellow, but a large portion was orange. This was because a picture of a giant sun had been sewed into it to wrap around the slender Venusian. At the very center of the enormous masterpiece, which happened to be her waist, sat a gold chain. In the middle of the chain, right in between her legs, was a gold picture of Sunyena. Her sleeves were tight and form- fitting so she would look more graceful than the klutz that she was.
"Lita, could you pull these straps tighter." Rei had gone with a corset bodice that laced up with violet ribbons. Underneath was a white lace shirt, though you could barely see it. The fashion of the corset was to close it so much that it looked to be a normal top. A violet sash adorned her waist and her skirts, the same crimson as the bodice, were long and billowing. Only a woman with Rei's sultry grace could keep from tripping in it. Her silk sleeves were slightly puffy and ended on golden bands on her wrists. Running along the bottom trim of her gown and the neckline of her dress was gold filigree workings of Fira, the goddess of fire.
"Serenity, you're the only one who can tie these bows perfectly!" said Lita happily. Lita had chosen the lightning goddess, Litenna, for her dress. She wore a very simple forest green dress. It had a high waistline, which then billowed out in a train behind her. Litenna was on the waistline and bottom trim in miniscule rose ribbons. On her back, a little below her shoulder blades was a large pink bow, which Sere had tied for her. It had long straps that fell down to add to her long train of lovely green.
All of the senshi turned to look as the moon princess put on her last piece of jewelry, a gold necklace of Lunette. Serenity looked like Lunette herself, actually. The princess was wearing a white dress with golden patterns running through the entire thing in delicate waves and sweeps of thread. The dress had no sleeves, but she had laid the shawl Mina had so mysteriously found across her shoulders and upper arms. Her wrists were gently tinkling with the numerous bracelets she wore, the gold circlet on her brow signified her station, and the necklace added the final touch.
"This is going to be magnificent!" she squealed as they all dashed to the foyer where they were to be announced.
********************************
"Same thing, as usual." Zoicite grumbled as he pulled on his white cape, "WHY do we always where the same thing?"
"It is what befits our station as Endymion's guard, now shut up." Said Malachite roughly.
The generals were wearing the same thing, basically. They all wore a white top, which had gold buttons all the way up to the top of the neck and white pants with black shoes. The difference between them was the clasps on the capes, Malachite's were diamonds, Zoicite's were emeralds, Nephrite's were Sapphires, and Jadeite's were rubies, and the symbol on the side of their chest. Malachite had a snowy falcon on two crossed rapiers, Zoicite had stag on an ancient scroll, Nephrite had a brown owl on a starry night sky, and Jadeite had a rearing red stallion on a desert plain.
"Are we ready yet?" Endy said, annoyed. He was wearing a black suit, much like the generals, but it was tooled in silver armor-like plates. His shoulders were graced with a black cape, clasped by gold. The thin golden circlet encircling his head was to show the court who he was.
"Yea, we're all set." Nephrite grinned as they all trooped out to go to the foyer where they were to be announced.
