Outings and Upstarts
The next day, the princesses, acting as their positions as hostesses obliged them to, agreed to take the Terran visitors and show them the extensive royal grounds. Serenity and Endymion were particularly anxious about this plan. Their meeting the night before had shown them the strength of the attraction between them, and that was only with a brief meeting. How they could survive an outing was beyond them.
Despite whatever doubts each party had, the ten set off soon after breakfast. At first, all of them were rather tense around the unfamiliar people of their group, but before long, they fell easily into conversation. Pretty soon, they were teasing and laughing at one another like old friends.
"He didn't!" Makato exclaimed after a very peculiar incident involving Nephrite and a polar bear.
"He did, my lady," Zoicite proclaimed, enjoying the very dark blush on the earth elemental's face. "I tried to warn him, but—"
"If I recall correctly," Kunzite said, interrupting whatever his companion was about to say. "You were the one who got him into that particular situation because he was trying to get you out of it."
"Well," Zoicite said, blushing profusely, "he didn't have to follow me! It wasn't entirely my fault."
Minako laughed at that statement. "Now you are sounding like Serenity did when Rei accused her of getting her in trouble. Serenity had snuck into the kitchens late one night for a snack, and Rei had followed her to see what she was up to. Unfortunately, Rei was caught out of bed. She got such a scolding."
"Yeah, but I think Serenity got the worst of it because Rei yelled out her something fierce afterwards," Makato put in.
"She deserved it! She could have come forward and spared me a little of the heat," Rei said hotly.
"I didn't even know you were following me, let alone that you had gotten caught!" Serenity stated defensively.
"You could have still stood up for me and helped me out with that punishment Luna dealt out," Rei said.
OoooOoooOoooO
Unknown to the merry party, someone was not happy with their intercourse. He could see the bonds between them becoming stronger, including the soulmate bonds that he knew would be a problem. If these princesses were to be controlled like their mothers, they had to be taken away from these men. Fortunately for him, his mistress had already discovered how to do that. She could even make it so that their love was transferred to a being of her choosing. Their plans would not be thwarted by these upstarts from Earth.
