Moon Fantasies

Disclaimer: Okay here's the big spiel, I don't own any of the Sailor Moon characters in the fan fic, however any of the Kings or Queens from the planets, excluding Selenity of course, were made up by other people. Lady Rose of Mau, Princess Shiranai of Saturn, Reiko of Uranus and others that will appear through out the story are also made up and I am claiming them, so steal them at your own risk. This fan fic was originally an rp I was part of, so everyone designed his or her characters, and trust me it took a long time. Anyways I hope you enjoy this story, though I'm warning you now…it will be very, very long.

Chapter 2: A Princess Ball

Moon Kingdom:

After finishing her breakfast Serenity began to walk slowly around the palace. She had called a few of her friends from the Inner Princesses but so far no one had come. She frowned slightly, the day was still young but she still hoped that one of her friends would come so they could talk.

Serenity made her way to the palace gardens, she could see the gardeners at work, but made her way to her favorite corner, where the red roses of Earth had been planted. She looked at their beauty smiling, they reminded her of Endymion, the Prince of Earth, whom she had met so long ago, but had instantly fallen in love with.

The shuttle from Venus finally landed on the Moon Kingdom and Minako hopped out. She thanked the driver and immediately began to search for her friend. She first checked Serenity's room but saw no sign of her. She frowned slightly, wondering where the Moon Princess could possibly be.

"Serenity-chan!" Minako called out walking around the palace perimeter. "Serenity-chan where are you?" Her loud voice echoed throughout the palace, and the young Venusian Princess hoped she could find her friend soon.

Serenity looked up from the roses as she heard the familiar voice of her friend. "Minako-chan!" She called out happily standing and rushing towards where she heard the voice. She smiled as she saw her friend and gave her a hug.

Minako returned the hug. "There you are Sere-chan, I looked all over and couldn't find you. Where were you?" She asked curiously, her blue eyes sparkling.

"Out in the gardens." She responded lightly. "This place is like a prison for me Minako-chan, let's go back to the gardens." She took her friends hand and led her through the hallways until they came to the vast gardens of the Moon Palace.

She walked back towards the rose bushes and then sat down, surrounded by flowers and the sweet smells they released. She smiled in joy at her surroundings, relaxing with her friend.

Suddenly she had a great idea and she clapped her hands excited. Although she enjoyed being with Minako, she wished more of her friends could be here. "Minako-chan, wouldn't it be fun if we had a ball tonight? Just for us princesses." The Venusian princess was more than thrilled with the idea, so the two girls stood up and once again traversed the palace looking for Queen Selenity to ask permission.

Selenity nodded. "I'll call the other Queens and let them know Serenity, Minako-hime, we'll have the stewards decorate and everything." Her heart warmed as she saw her daughter smile. "And of course we'll have to invite some princes."

Serenity looked at her mother with a glare. "I wanted only a party for us mama, not with everyone else." She said pouting slightly. Minako had disappeared as soon as Selenity had given her permission, no doubt gone off to find a suitable dress to wear for the occasion.

Selenity sighed as she heard her daughter's complaint. "We need the princes here Serenity, the princesses need to get wed. Please understand." Serenity knew that she couldn't argue with her mother, so she just nodded and returned to her room.

She went to her balcony and sighed as she looked down on Earth. It was so beautiful, and made even more beautiful by the fact that her prince lived there.

Mercury:

Queen Koori and King Hermes had just finished with the last of the petitioners when the message from Queen Selenity came through. A ball was going to be held on the Moon Kingdom tonight and all the princesses were invited.

Koori liked the idea and sent a message back to say that Ami would be attending. After that she sent a page to the room where Ami and Anita were studying, to inform the princess of the ball.

"Demo…" The shy Mercurian Princess had just received the news and had gone to the throne room where her mother and father were waiting. "I don't want to go. I have studies with Anita-sensei to complete and…"

Anita cut Ami off before she could continue. "I think this is a great opportunity Ami-hime. You need to work on your social greetings and gatherings. Anything I can teach you is better learnt in real life." The girl had been out maneuvered and she knew it.

"Hai, alright Anita-sensei, mama, papa I'll go." Koori nodded happily and assigned a knight from the Mercurian guards to accompany her daughter.

Ami went back to her room to find a suitable ball gown then went to the shuttle bay where the knight was already waiting for her. She smiled slightly in greeting then the two boarded a shuttle and went to the Moon Kingdom.

Mars:

King Draco received the invitation in his wife's stead, as she was currently deep in a trance. He sent a message back to Queen Selenity saying that Rei would be attending and he hoped that she could interest his reclusive daughter in a young man.

Rei wasn't thrilled about the idea, but she wasn't opposed either. After her father had chosen a suitable escort and she had found an appropriate gown, she boarded a shuttle and headed towards the Moon Kingdom.

Jupiter:

Queen Enrai had to send her heartfelt apologies to the Moon Queen. Makoto had somehow managed to twist an ankle while sparring this afternoon and so wouldn't be able to stand on it for about a week.

However she assured Selenity that as soon as Makoto was well again she would send her to the moon to visit Princess Serenity.

Uranus:

"Haruka!" Queen Tori's shocked voice came from the door to the training hall. Her eyes were disapproving as she looked at her daughter. "I'm not pleased that you ran out on your suitors today, however Queen Selenity wants you to go to the Moon right away." Harka looked at her mother curiously.

"I won't entertain them when it's clear all they want is power." She protested angrily, the sword in her hand falling to the ground. "Why does Selenity-sama want me on the Moon?" Now she was extremely curious.

"Serenity-hime is hosting a ball tonight and has requested that all the princesses attend. I've sent you acceptance already, so there's no use in arguing." Haruka had opened her mouth to do just that but instead nodded.

"Hai, I'll go get ready." She said as she exited the training hall and went to her room for a quick shower. She changed into an evening gown, similar to the one she had worn earlier that day, only more fancy, before she headed towards the shuttle bay.

There a Uranian knight greeted her and opened the shuttle for her. As she climbed in her set the co-ordinates and the shuttle flew off for the Moon.

Neptune:

Queen Arashi was pleased with the idea of Michiru getting out of the palace for a bit. The girl was reclusive and paid more attention to her art and music than anything else. The Neptunian queen walked through her palace hallways, knowing that if he daughter wasn't in the sea then she was practicing in her room.

She was right, she knew as she faintly heard a soft violin melody issuing forth from her daughters room. She knocked lightly waiting for an answer.

Michiru paused as she heard a knock on her door. "Yes?" She asked politely. Her mother entered and told her that Queen Selenity had planned a party at the Moon Kingdom later that evening.

Michiru nodded and placed her violin back in its case. She changed into an evening gown. "I guess I'll go now then." She said. And set off for the Moon Kingdom with a Neptunian knight as an escort.
