I like this chapter. It made me smile. With that reason, I shall post it. I no own, so you no sue. R,R&R please. Thank you. -EXTREME FLUFFY SAPPINESS WARNED.

Contentness among the Intrigue

"Luna, so glad to see you. Artemis, you to. Please come in." Serena hid an exhausted smile under a pleasant face. "Serenity, it's been so long. Your mother sent me to check on you." Serena's smile faltered. "Well you can tell her that I'm fine then." Serena busied herself at pouring coffee. Nervously, Luna and Artemis sat down at her kitchen table. "She wants you to talk to her." Serena shrugged. "I don't know why. The earth is in a peace time. All is relatively well." Luna was becoming rather distressed. "Serenity, please. She is worried about you. Worried about the other girls. The outers had even hidden on their planet for a long time. She's worried about the prince." Serena slammed her cup on the counter, splashing her hand. It turned red instantly. Her back was still to Luna and Artemis. "She's worried about Crystal Tokyo. Not me, not any of them. She wants an heir for a non existing city." Luna stood up, enraged. Artemis stayed carefully neutral thru out all of this. If this included crystal power levels, the city would probably be leveled now.

"She thinks something big is coming for Tokyo. The universe can feel the non existing protectors, and a wealthy planet ripe for the invasion. The earth is defenseless." Serena poked her burned hand, enjoying the resulting pain. "I have my crystal still. I can call in the outers. I can call in the stars, and the other senshi. The inners lost their crystals. I have no intention of giving them back. Without them we will be fine." Luna sighed, feeling a lost cause. "Artemis, go pull up the car please." He did as he was asked. When he was gone, the women shared a hug. "Serenity, I just worry about you. About the others. You have no other friends, outside of your job. We just want you to be happy." Serena smiled softly at Luna. "I know Luna, and thank you for worrying about me. If anything is in trouble, you know Setsuna would alert me." Luna pulled away, and just looked at Serena. She had a motherly tired look in the lines of her face. "Just be happy, please. I'll see you again soon." Serena nodded and walked Luna to the door. Good byes were said, and finally, all guests were gone. So Tokyo was in danger again…maybe eternal sailor moon should start making appearances again.

"Lita, is it true she has your crystals?" Luna had made visits to the other girls, all while getting the same response. The Generals had listened quietly, or excused themselves, but ultimately were clueless. "Yes, she has my crystal in a dormant state right now." The dinner actually had the emotion in it tonight, with an old friend visiting. Conversation had been light and good until senshi business came up. Now it was stale, and Luna could feel her presence lingering longer than it should. "The Queen sends her well wishes to all. Serenity dismissed them all, but hopefully you don't see an heir conspiracy." Lita laughed. How unlike Serena that was. How sad that was. Luna's laugh was sad, as well. At the door, Lita bowed to Luna, who bowed lower, and let her self out. "Good Bye Oak Princess." Lita was smiling relatively broadly. "Oak Princess?" She scoffed at her husband. "I'm from Jupiter, Star King." In his arms, he received a kiss. "As I am from Andromeda, Princess, as I am from the stars." That night was filled with memories of long ago ages in the stars for them, hopefully a good omen of better memories this time around at the Mansion.

"Rei, a vacation would do you good." Jadeite was on an opposing futon facing Rei, exhausted from the fire. Her purple eyes lit up with fear and anger. "Jadeite, I cannot use my sense. My fire is the only way I can use my sense. If I leave it, I cannot feel anything." Jadeite sighed, trying to understand how an extra sense would be missed. "You are human, like the rest of us Rei. You should be able to feel like an earthling, if nothing else." The fear was replaced with power. In her priestess robes still, and hair down, she was intimidating. Jadeite wondered why he was stupid enough to invoke her. The engagement ring on her left hand was why he was stupid enough. He cared about her. "I am not human."

This tone was new, and the atmosphere was tense. Jadeite said nothing, feeling a surprise about to spring itself on him. He was mortal, in a sense, with a touch of the fire plane. Rei, Jadeite thought, was completely mortal. "I am a Martian. I am not an earthling." Jadeite waited for further explanation. Rei had a feeling he doubted her. She would doubt her self if she could. Another approach was needed. Jadeite expected a temper. She was quiet, thoughtful. She was not Rei. Her position on her mar's symbol futon never shifted over the wooden floor. The typically bare shrine room was still. "You remember Sailor Mars. I've seen your small shrine." Jadeite turned red, to Rei's amusement. "You don't need to be embarrassed. I've been a Sailor Moon freak at one point." Jadeite was glad that the mood was lighter. She seemed bitter, but not angry at least. "Hold on." Gracefully, she scurried to his secret closet, and dug around for a focal point. She had no crystal to access but she could still go to her weakest form. Yes, there it was. A toy transformation wand was in the back of his closet. Getting it, Rei walked slower to the original room. Jadeite looked neutrally up at her, heavily guarded. He saw an expensive part of his collection in her red painted nails. "Don't worry; you'll get it back probably."

"Mars Planet power!" The light show started, and the power up started, and for a moment, she was in her senshi fuku. The power was held long enough for a good view of the costume, heels, and mars symbol, then in a quick second everything dropped. Her stomach rumbled loudly, and she couldn't sit up for a moment, after Jadeite had caught her. Her laughter was happy for once, glad memories flooding her mind. Jadeite was happy to see her happy. "I love you, Martian Princess." Rei laughed, feeling energy slowly drip back to her. She had an inkling that it was a part of his power, his flame tainted mortality. Secretly, she had thought of him as a Flame prince. "I love you to my flame prince." His nervous laughter made her laugh harder. "Now will we not burn down the house when we go?" Jadeite just grinned.

Minako flinched, feeling Mars awaken. Venus power was running through her veins, and without control, she would be attempting a transform. The power felt exhilarating, and it lifted her mood at the same time. It was symbolic of a rebirth. Phoenix reborn, Mar's had been called, as Morning star was one of her names. Kunzite came into the bed room where Minako was reading, feeling a sudden power growth. He was concerned for her heavy sweating and slight shaking. "Kunzite…Mars…Is awake…She's calling me." Minako was glowing, shaking, and looked even remotely happy. His power was being called as well. "Here, Minako. This might help you." Blue glazed eyes met his grey eyes, and hands touched. Silver power mixed in her veins with the gold, and stabilized the growth. Her Venus symbol was bright on her forehead, and her finger nails were orange. Kunzite sat next to her on the bed, placing his arms around her. Eventually she calmed down. "You know dear, I never thought I would have a goddess in my presence." Minako turned her eyes up towards Kunzite's a hand stroking his cheek. She laughed quietly. "I'd never thought I'd have the Terran Commander of Earth either." Palms touched palms and a pale gold radiated from both hands.

The senshi were active tonight. Ami felt Venus resist the power, and Rei make a transformation attempt. Lita never suppressed hers, nor ever could. Ami summoned cold to her finger tips, and touched the bedroom window. It appeared to be that Jack Frost danced over her window. "I didn't know Jack Frost was out tonight." The voice behind her wrapped his arms around her. "I didn't know you knew Jack Frost." His hand covered her for a moment, and they traced a symbol into the frost. It was mercury. "And I didn't know you knew." Ami cuddled back into his arms, content with no big secret. "Have you known of my ice?" The moon light let her see Zoisite's face in the dark sitting room reflect off the window. "Jack Frost can't create murals on the picture windows. I can't use that much power so it's rational to have you create it." Zoisite noticed her eyes went ice blue as a subtle cold growth grew. "How about I create it in another scene? For a holiday trip perhaps?" Ami considered it. No patients, little kids, or otherwise anyone demanding her attention. Mrs. Chopro had alerted her of this, possibly. "Would Mrs. Chopro be their?" For a moment, Zoisite froze, and then finally relaxed. It dawned on him. Ami wanted to see people. She wanted to relax. Suddenly, he took her around the waist and spun her. Dropping her into an elegant back bend, he kissed her. "Of course, Ice princess." Ami smiled. "Jack Frost needs a new name now…Perhaps, Lord Mercury…Lord frost. Yes. You are now Lord Frost." Music started in their mind, and an icy ball room became a vision in their mind. In the morning, their light blue carpeting still had bits of ice in it.

Eternal sailor Moon crouched on the roof. A winter breeze stirred her hair, and her face was lifted to meet it. It was a wind of change. Good or bad, she didn't know. But change was coming. Either way, the outers need to be called in. A feeling told her it was right, for whatever reason. Mars was awakening, invoking Venus. Jupiter only dropped her electric state, as Mercury only used her ice and natural healing abilities. The oath of non-communication would be broken soon, the wind said. She had broken her own order, in the sake of business. Maybe her call for power was too hasty. It should have been more specific. Either way, she thought as she stood, change was coming. She would release them from their hold at midnight of Christmas, if not sooner. Her regulation of the crystals would be kept, but otherwise free of loyalties they would be. I hope you like your Christmas Present, my senshi. A wind played with her hair, almost in response. It glittered.

Darien couldn't sleep. Something was in the air. Venus and Mars woke up. Eternal Sailor Moon was awake as well. Jupiter and Mercury were still missing. Sailor Moon was near him, he knew but he didn't know how near. All he truly wanted was to feel her presence again, with out being condemned. That could never happen with the senshi unconnected. At this rate, Tokyo would be attacked before Crystal Tokyo was ready.

I saw a grammatical error. There are probably a few. Please use it as an excuse to review. Thanks. This is probably the most fluffy i have ever written...
