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. This chapter, and the next chapter might seem a little centered around Haruka and Michiru, but they are my favourite characters and I am trying to spread out the concentration of where the story is focuse, so for now, you'll have to bear with me.

Chapter 4: The Music of Love

Moon Kingdom:

As the girls entered the ballroom the first dance song began to play. Michiru angled herself over towards the wall, planning on being a wallflower for this particular ball. She smiled as she heard the violins take over the melody and wished, once again, that she had thought to bring her own.

Queen Selenity saw all the princesses enter once more and signaled to a group of young men standing near her that they should go introduce themselves for the dance. A young man with golden hair and bright blue eyes approached Princess Serenity bowing to her politely before whisking her off towards the dance floor. A man with long brown hair bowed to Princess Ami, while another one almost identical bowed to Princess Rei. Both girls blushed, curtsied and laid their hands gently on the princes before they too were brought to the dance floor. A man with short hair, black as the night bowed to the Princess Minako, who colored prettily and let herself be swept away.

Another prince with silver hair and deep sea green eyes bowed as he stood in front of Princess Haruka. "May I have this dance?" Haruka curtsied politely, and not wanting to create a political incident allowed her self to be led to the dance floor. However, truthfully she wanted to dance with Michiru, or talk to her more at least.

The last prince went to Princess Michiru and bowed with as much grace as the aquamarine beauty possessed. "Michiru-hime, would you do me the honor of dancing with me." Michiru forced her 'suitor' smile to her face, nodded once graciously, curtsied and followed him out to the dance floor. However her deep blue eyes kept glancing towards Haruka who was on the other side of the room.

"Seeing the beautiful eyes of the Moon Princess is an honor Serenity-hime" The Prince began to flirt, as Serenity blushed a bit. However he couldn't dance like Endymion could. Her blushed deepened as she remembered their secret dance behind the Palace walls, the feeling of his hands on her as she floated out of the Moon and into the sky. But the feeling that she got dancing with this prince was not the same at all.

"Is it true that your intelligence matched your beauty Ami-hime?" The brown haired prince asked as he whirled the girl around the dance floor. "I'm afraid I can't believe it, nothing can match your beauty." Ami blushed crimson as she looked at the ground embarrassed.

"Can you see the future Rei-hime?" The Martian Princess' prince asked as he looked into her violet eyes. "Do you see me there?" Rei couldn't help but let out an absurd laugh. Yet, she was already getting tired of these games, even though he was quite handsome.

"It must be true what they say, that the queens of Venus are the Goddesses of Love and Beauty. For who but a Goddess could give birth to the vision that is in my arms?" Minako smiled happily at the prince as he twirled her around. She never tired of the attention of her suitors.

"The beauty of the Princess of Uranus is incredible and pure." Now the man dancing with Haruka began to flirt as well, hoping to gain the Uranian princess' admiration. He smiled at her, his eyes sparkling.

"I bet you say that to everyone." Haruka said as she looked at the man who twirled her around the room. She had heard almost every compliment before and was by now, already thoroughly tired of the whole thing.

"Now that I have the wonderful Neptunian Princess in my hands I will never take my eyes off of the beauty that is Michiru's-himes eyes." The last prince said as he took Michiru softly into his arms and moved around the dance floor, his grace an even match for hers.

"Thank you very much." Princess Michiru said politely. "But there are others far more beautiful than me. I'm afraid I'm not much to look upon." She followed his moves; their bodies flowing perfectly together, yet she never once looked at his face, instead her deep blue eyes were still locked upon the figure in a dark blue dress across the ballroom floor.

Now the song finally ended and it took all Michiru had not to sigh in relief. She excused herself politely as the next song began to play. She really couldn't stand being with him any longer, and if she couldn't talk to Haruka she figured she might as well find some place to be alone.

She made her way across the ballroom, fending off any of the other number of eager young men hoping that they could get her attention. She pleaded fatigue and gratefully exited the ballroom.

The young man with Haruka had pulled her into another dance, however as the next song began to play the Uranian princess saw Michiru leaving out of the corner of her eye. Here's my chance. She thought as she hurriedly excused herself and followed Michiru out of the ballroom.

The other princesses were content to stay and dance for the time being. Now that a new song had started, new princes were trying to claim them for a dance. So they all smiled and agreed as they switched partners and began the whole thing all over again.

Now that she was free Michiru went back to the rooms she had been given to use while staying at the Moon Palace. When she got there she saw her mother had sent her violin during the day. A smile graced the girl's features as she took the violin out of its case. She ran the bow lightly along the strings of her violin producing a cord. Her features lightened as she relaxed and closed her deep blue eyes, slowly beginning to play a soft melody.

Once Haruka finally escaped the ballroom she cursed, realizing Michiru was already gone. She began to idly search the palace, and after walking for a few minutes she walked into a large music room. She smiled when she spotted a large grand piano. Well if she couldn't find Michiru she might as well occupy her time by relaxing a bit. "I hope Selenity-sama won't mind if I play a little tune." Haruka said quietly as she sat down on the stool and opened the lid. She closed her deep green eyes as she started playing a song that seemed to be playing in her head.

Michiru paused for a moment and frowned slightly as she thought she heard a faint piano melody nearby is was a soft lilting tune. She walked out of her room, trying to see if she was imagining things, and then slowly began to follow the sound of music. As she walked, she seemed to hear a harmony in her mind. So she raised her violin once more and began to play as she walked.

She paused in front of a door, the music was loudest here; this must be where it was coming from. She closed her deep aqua eyes, enjoying the melody and harmony running through her body, she sighed as she completely relaxed and let the music flow through her.

Haruka's green eyes flew open in surprise as she heard a violin counter melody flowing through her piano melody. However her hands now seemed to be moving on their own as they pressed the keys in front of her. She smiled as she realized how well her and the unknown musician worked together. Finally the piece drew to a close and she heard the last chord on the violin sighing above her own last chord.

She stood slowly, afraid to end the moment, yet wanting to know whom the mysterious musician was. She opened the door and saw Michiru standing there, her deep blue eyes closed and a look of utter contentment on her face. Her heart warmed, and a part of her wasn't truly surprised at all. "You play wonderfully." Haruka commented softly.

Michiru's eyes flew open as she heard the soft voice. Her violin fell to her side once more as she realized the song was over. Part of her was sad, yet part of her was overjoyed to know that the wonderful piano melody she had heard had come from Haruka. She blushed slightly as she nodded. "Thank-you, you're amazing." She said truthfully, true emotion behind her words.

"I started playing because, it was so nice to finally be truly alone." She said softly as her deep blue eyes looked into Haruka's deep green ones. "Though I guess I'm not really alone because I'm…with you…" She continued.

"Hai finally some peace, if not some quiet." Haruka said winking at the girl in front of her. And as long as I'm with you, I don't mind the company. She thought to herself.
