This is totally and original idea, so please ask before you take anything, unless it's the un-owned characters. Totally ORIGINAL, most Characters are not mine, Later chapters some will be, okay?

Makoto pounced on them, her bright eyes a great difference from earlier that night. "Get up Michiru-Chan, Haruka-Chan! Get up!" Michiru groaned and swatted at her. Haruka looked at Makoto drowsily. "Makoto? What are you doing up so early?" Makoto blinked, her happy and giddy cheerfulness faltered and she lowered her head, and crawled off of them.
"Gomen nai san, I didn't mean to bother you." Makoto mumbled out her, chin down to her chest. She turned and crawled off to the window. Michiru glared at Haruka and nudged her sharply in the ribs. "Smooth Haruka. Go cheer her up!" Haruka rubbed her ribs and gave her a look, but crawled over to Makoto. "Mako?" Makoto looked at her in surprise. Haruka smiled and brushed slightly lengthened bangs away from her eyes. "I'm not upset, angry, annoyed, or anything like that. I was just surprised." Makoto sniffed and rubbed at her eyes. Haruka smiled at her. "I promise, I'm not angry." Makoto slowly nodded and looked outside the window. "By the way, why did you want to get us up so early?" Makoto suddenly turned to her with a bright smile. "Look, look!" Makoto stood and pulled Haruka with her to the back windows of the ship.
Outside the windows where different planets. Stars grew slightly and the sun became more visible over the eclipse like exterior of the asteroids, stray stars, and the planet Mars covered it. "That's right, you've never seen the sun for more than about four hours, huh?" Makoto smiled up at her, shaking her head. "Is it always like that?" Michiru's voice surprised them both to jump slightly, "Sometimes, other times it's different, depending on the place." Makoto nodded and smiled up at the two older Senshi, than continued to look out of the window.
Haruka watched Makoto with a soft smile however was surprised when Michiru took her arm and lead her away. "Four hours of sunlight? That's all Juvian's have of sunlight?" Haruka nodded, a cocky-teasing smile on her face. "Yeah, didn't you know that?" Michiru gave her a look and rolled her eyes. "Haruka, seriously." "Right, right sorry. How long until we reach Mercury?" Michiru shrugged, "My guess, about two or three more Earth day's." Haruka nodded and looked at her. "Michiru, those bruises." She nodded her head, "I know." They both turned to looked at the awed eight year old, silently sending cursed wishes to the lord of Jupiter. "Makoto, is very secretive." Makoto turned to them and smiled, showing her adult teeth, and showing that she had two missing, and another in the far back. "Hai, she is." The other woman agreed whole heartedly, knowing that Makoto held something back from them. "Do you think she'll tell us?" Haruka looked questioningly at her. "Eventually, eventually." They sighed a bit. Makoto ran to them, and pulled them both back over to the window. They smiled at each other and rested a hand on both her shoulders.
"Makoto, Makoto are you ready to meet the Mercurians?" Makoto nodded her head, her emerald eyes overly bright and curious. "Yeah, yeah!" Michiru smiled at her, but gave a disapproving glance to Haruka, whom replied with a sheepish shrug. "All right, however I want you to stay quite, almost invisible, alright, dear?" Makoto nodded again, her eyes curious however dimmed. "Good girl." Michiru kissed her on the Juvian, at the moment invisible, mark. She than pulled the hood over the short chestnut hair.
As they walked across the streets Makoto looked forward, her eyes glancing at people quick enough for them not to notice, but long enough for her to memorize their own unique features to the unknowns of Haruka and Michiru. "Uranus-Chan, where are we going, who for?" Haruka blinked in surprise at her, "We're here to get the princess of Mercury, also known as Sailor Mercury." She explained quickly. Makoto nodded and lowered her head again. Upon reaching the kingdom door they where surprised to find a guard waiting for them. Michiru nodded to the guard, "We are to speak with the king?" He nodded and turned sharply. Makoto gave a slightly scoffing nose, but when the guard looked at her, she already had her head bowed. He sniffed and turned again. Haruka gave her 'the look' and Makoto bowed her head further, chin touching her chest.
He showed them to into the feasting room. The king, queen and their blue haired daughter. Neptune glanced between Jupiter and Mercury. The other smaller, child looked curiously at the smallest hooded figure. "Hello?" Her small voice was followed with the sound of the chair moving. The two girls stood in front of each other, spontaneously the smaller girl reached up, pulling the hood back to reveal short brown hair, and hunter green eyes, looking back just as curiously at her. Every one else in the room was stiff, the guards already with their swords about drawn. Jupiter grinned at her after a moment, causing Mercury to blush and grin back. "Hi, I'm Makoto." They shook hands as Mercury replied, "I'm Ami." The others sighed in relief, guards letting the swords clink softly to the sheath, and the king and queen to relax into their seats. Neptune and Uranus sighed in relief, however their posture was still slightly stiff as they pulled their own hoods back.
"Please won't you sit? Maybe stay the night? You must be tired, or at least hungry." Neptune smiled at the queen, having known her personally. She looked and saw Makoto and Ami looking up at her pleadingly. Glancing at Haruka she saw the blond sigh and give a shrug. "All right, we'll stay but only for tonight." The children cheered and hugged her, Makoto basically bouncing off the walls.
"Makoto, you said your name was, correct?" The king asked, eyeing the Juvian almost suspiciously. The auburn haired child nodded, eyeing the meat hungrily. Haruka doing the same across from her, grinned, only to be smacked upside the head by Michiru. "So, Makoto, how old are you, you look like your eleven or so." Makoto giggled and smiled brightly at the queen. "I'm eight. I'm just really tall." She giggled again. "May I ask, uhh, Can I have anything?" The queen laughed lightly behind her hand, it floating around the room like a cool breeze. "Yes dear of course!" Makoto, and Haruka, lifted at that, and quickly filled their plates with an assortment of meats and rolls. Servants appeared, bringing goblets to the new comers, filled within them was a pale yellow liquid. Makoto looked curiously into the goblet, than up at Michiru. She took the goblet and sipped it, and after a few seconds nodded to Makoto, whom proceeded to take a sip of her own. Michiru rose a brow at her, and Makoto grinned. "Do you like it?" They where startled when the voice of the king boomed out. Makoto slowly nodded, eyeing him cautiously. Haruka glanced at her, raising a questioning brow. Makoto just sighed and gave hidden glares to the king.
Makoto breathed a sigh, it echoing after Haruka however. The meat and rolls where almost gone, four goblets in front of each. The servants gave looks to each other, each surprised and exasperated at how much the two had eaten. Michiru had her elbow on the table, head resting on the palm of her hand while she mumbled about butches and their appetite in Neptunian. Ami, the king, and the queen where all blushing as they listened to her, Haruka glaring slightly, fighting to keep her eyes open. While Makoto looked at them all confused. Bending down she caught Ami's attention, "What is she saying?" Ami simply shook her head, drinking the last of her goblet. "Mother, Father may I be excused?" They nodded, praying that she was somehow behind in her Neptunian studies. "Umm, Haruka, Michiru?" They simply nodded, Michiru continued in her mumbled ranting and Haruka argued with her a bit. Makoto shook her head and sigh, finally giving up on trying to figure out what they where saying.
After a few minutes after the children left Michiru finally calmed down, still grumbling at Haruka now and than however. The king, during all this, had eyed Michiru thoughtfully. "So Neptune, how have you been?" The kings voice spoke of polite curiosity, but his eyes belied his voice, showing his lust filled thoughts as they roamed her body. Michiru could hear Haruka's growl trying to escape her throat. Reaching under the table she grasped her lovers hand, meanwhile shooting a pointed glance to the queen. "I'm fine, nothing really new." The king nodded, however the look he shot between them was skeptical. He started making conversation, his moves being subtle and could easily be over looked, however as time went on his frustration grew and it became more obvious.
Reaching a large door Makoto stood at awe of it, seeing the engravings on the wood. Ami giggled at her behind a hand, akin to her mother's way. "Come on, there's more intresting stuff inside." She tugged at the rouges hand, pulling her through the doors. Inside was amazing. Writing desks of oak wood, engraved with water sprites and nymphs. Chairs crafted to perfection. A huge bed was in the center of the room, posts going to the ceiling and on them where engravings of various people, names in Mercurian, which Makoto could not read, and of how they where created. The bed itself was huge, a good couple feet off the ground, with blue silk like satin sheets, puffy warm, and a deep blue comforter. Huge pillows also accompanied it, also blue, with satin coverings and almost seemed to be made of water, just like the bed. A clock in the shape of the Mercurian symbol was on a desk. Book cases spread about the room, thick and small books covered it the walls. The small amount of wall able to be seen showed blue, almost like currents, it continued on the ceiling to show soothing waves, and soft currents.
"Do you like it?" Ami's voice brought Makoto out of her stupor. "It's, magnificent." She breathed, looking at the room again. She smiled down at the other girl as she giggled. "Thank you. I had it done for myself, however it pleases me to know you like it." Makoto blinked at her a second, than smiled brightly. "Umm, okay!" Ami finally couldn't hold it back and started laughing, holding her stomach. Makoto rose a brow, a look of innocent confusion on her face. She, instead of asking, just shrugged it off. She took the cloak off finally. Setting it against a chair. Now as she looked closer, she saw another set of double doors off to the side. She quirked her head at it, stealthy moving to them. "Ami, what's in these?" Ami looked at, finally realizing Makoto had moved after she was interrupted from her speech of how she thought the wood would look nice in the rooms.
"Oh, in there, that's where my clothes are, and further down are two rooms, one with books and another where my teacher trains me to speak and read different languages." Makoto slowly nodded, her eyes wide and her mouth in the small shape of an 'o'. "Come on, you'll get lost in there." Ami pulled at her arm softly. She eventually pulled Makoto to the bed. "You're sleeping here tonight, right?" Makoto shrugged, still looking around the room. "Well, lets get you something to sleep in." The door opened than, after a few soft nocks. It showed Michiru and the queen, whom is named Keota. "Hey little ones, how are you doing?" Keota questioned softly bending to hug her daughter. "We're all right, right Ami?" Makoto questioned her new friend, hugging Michiru. Ami nodded in the affirmative and they smiled at each other. "You two don't mind if Makoto stay's with you, do you Ami?" Ami shook her head, not minding at all. "I like having someone here." Makoto grinned at her, letting her hand find the blue haired girls. "Makoto?" Makoto nodded enthusiastically. "All right, go to sleep you two, good night." The two women kissed their foreheads and left, closing the door softly.
