Silver Millennium
Location: Moon Palace Dining Hall
Laughter floated through the air but Serenity felt as if she was left out of the joke. Her focus was on the black haired man who evoked feelings she had never known. He made her want to be daring, bold…..free. Could this be what love felt like? Her pulse sped at such a thought. How could she love someone she barely knew? She could never love him. She was forbidden to. Nevertheless, at the thought that she might, she found herself unafraid.
"Darling, you are quiet tonight. Is something wrong?" Serenity looked up at her mother's voice.
"No Mother just tired." She asked softly.
"Well there is something I would like to talk to you about. Maybe we can talk about it in the morning though." The Queen stated.
"I would appreciate that. May I be excused? I am terribly sorry." Serenity asked.
The Queen nodded. Serenity stood and curtsied toward her guest and bid her farewell.
The eldest Serenity watched until her daughter disappeared behind the dining hall doors.
"Venus, will you go after Serenity to make sure everything is alright." She asked.
"Of course my Queen." Mina bowed and exited the dining hall.
Mina found herself at Serenity's door and knocked. The Princess answered still dressed in her clothes from earlier.
"May I come in Sere?" She asked.
The princess nodded and stood aside.
"Your mother is worried about you. I have to say I am too. You seem a bit…off. Is it because of what happened with you and Diamond?" Mina asked.
Serenity swung around wide-eyed. "How do know about that?"
"Lita told me. Honestly, Sere I am your lead guard everything regarding your safety is my business." She stated.
"No, Diamond is the least of my worries. He is just a pervert with a stick up his ass." The head senshi laughed.
"Serenity, I'm just concerned about you." Serenity nodded.
"Can I ask you something Mina?" She nodded. "What is it like to be in love?"
"Why would you think I would know Sere?" She asked.
"Well not only are you the Goddess of love but you are in love right? I mean you must be with the mystery man you are always sneaking off to see." She teased.
Mina gapped at her. "What? What mystery man I have no idea what you are talking about?"
"Oh Mina I am not foolish. I know you do. You act completely different since you visited the Earth. Is that why you hide it? Because he is a Terran?" Serenity asked. "Do you think I will think differently of you? I surely would not. You should know me better by that by now. I just want you to be honest with me."
Mina let out a breath and put her hands on her hips. It seemed the Princess paid more attention than she thought. There was no point in continuing to deny it. She walked to where the princess was sitting and sat next to her on the soft, lacy bed.
"He is an Earth General. He is the head of Prince Endymion's guards. I did not go to Earth to look for love… it just happened. You have to understand my whole life my duty has been to protect you. Falling in love was not a part of the plan. I help those who need guiding towards their love. I never expected to find love." Mina paused and a spellbound smile shined on her face. Serenity's breath caught. She never seen her friend look so beautiful.
"I ran into him accidently while exploring the beaches along the Earth. I never seen a man so handsome. He teased me and we began arguing. I did not particularly like him much at all. I noticed during my duration of the trip we kept running to each other. He eventually confessed he was the one who made sure we ran into each other because he loved teasing me. Of course, this made me angry. He told me I was so beautiful when I was flushed. I thought he was nuts. Eventually I began to let my guard down around him. One thing led to another and soon I noticed myself enjoying his company. He made me feel… whole. It was as if I found a piece of myself I never knew I was missing. We explored the Earth together. He shared stories with me, his love for arts, and I told him of my of fashion. I told him who I was my last day there. I thought he would surely want to end whatever we had. We were both head guards for opposing planets. I told him no matter what he would always be second to you. Nevertheless, he did not. He just kissed me. He told me he loved me. We could make this work. That was when I knew. I felt it for the first time. Our soulmate connection. We will always be a part of each other. Forever." Mina trailed off. Serenity could not believe it. Her best friend was in love.
"Mina… that's beautiful." By this time, Serenity had tears trailing down her cheeks.
"You're not upset with me?" Mina asked.
Serenity laughed through her tears. "Of course not! I am so happy for you! You have to promise I will get to meet him one day."
"Of course. I would love that more than anything. The two-hugged Mina felt as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
"So does this mean you had sex?" Serenity asked.
"SERENITY!" Mina scolded as she hit her with a pillow both girls began giggling madly.

Location: Earth, Palace Council Room
Kunzite massaged his temples. He could feel the stress building from the past few days. He could kill Endymion for leaving him in this position.
"I called this meeting here today to discuss the assignment of a new Head Ambassador for Earth. As you know, we all suffered the tragic loss of Alan. However, even in this troubling time we still need a leader dealing with Earth's relations." Lord Wrath spoke loudly.
"I agree sir. We need to get a replacement as soon as possible." Lord Seyia announced.
"With all due respect Lord Wrath. His Majesty is usually the one who is in charge of such matters. I do not see why we cannot wait." Kunzite reasoned.
"Well General, we do not know when Endymion is going to be returning. Being that he is obviously involved with a situation up north. That being said we will have a temporary Ambassador in place until his return." Lord Wrath spoke.
"Well who would you suggest to be put in that position? I do not see him putting any one in that spot without proper training first. Perhaps, we should put General Zoicite in that roll until the Prince returns. He is very well spoken and very knowledgeable on relation matters with other planets." Kunzite suggested.
"Why yes you would love someone in your little posse to be in that role wouldn't you?" Lord Seyia stated.
"Excuse m-"Kunzite was cut off.
"That would be unreasonable for safety issues General Kunzite. With the absence of General Nephrite, we will need General Zoicite with you. Lord Seyia had a good suggestion earlier. The Lady Anne will be our Ambassador in His Majesty's absence." Lord Wrath stated.
"Lady Anne? His Majesty would never select her for the position! The only relations she is good at is keeping your beds warm!" Kunzite stated angrily.
"I am going to pretend you did not say that General. Remember your place. I am in charge of this council in the absence of Endymion and do not forget it…" Lord Wrath seethed.
"I think what General Kunzite is trying to say Lord Wrath is why Lady Anne? She has never been in a position of such power. Moreover, it was only a few days ago she lost the tragic loss of her brother. I am not sure she is emotionally stable for such a responsibility at the moment." Zoicite countered.
"The Lady Anne is more than prepared for this role. It is from my understanding that you have used Lady Anne in relations with the moon before." Lord Wrath stated.
Jadeite let out snort. "Yeah, if you consider seducing Lunarians as "human relations" then she should be an expert in the field. Do not give me that look Zoicite I am just speaking what is on everyone else's mind."
"I will have you know Lady Anne is trying to turn over a new leaf since her brother has passed. This was her wish to assume his role as Ambassador. I suggest we grant her that wish." Lord Seyia added.
Suddenly the doors burst opening. Lady Anne entered. Kunzite swore quietly and rolled his eyes.
"I cannot thank you enough for the opportunity my Lords for inviting me to this council. I am truly honored to be acting as your new Ambassador…temporarily of course." Lady Anne entered the hall escorted by two guards taking a seat next to Lord Seyia.
"Lady Anne, so happy you have decided to take this position even in your state of mourning. We know this is a difficult time for you." Lord Wrath stated.
"Oh yes, it has been awful without my dear brother. I feel in my heart though this is what he would have wanted." Anne picked up a tissue and dabbed at her tears. Kunzite rolled his eyes.
"I was not aware you had a heart." Jadeite murmured.
"Pardon General, did you say something?" Lord Seyia asked.
"Nope not a thing." Jadeite said.
"So with the potential threat from the moon. How do you think we should approach the situation Lady Anne? Perhaps schedule a meeting with their Ambassador or maybe the Queen?" Lord Rubeus asked.
"Actually, I was speaking with his highness before he left. We thought it was best to write a decree officially banning all Lunarians and the Silver Alliance members from traveling to Earth. Also banning any Terran's with relations, or trading with anyone in the alliance. In light of the death of my brother, I do not think we should take this situation lightly." She stated coolly.
Kunzite stood. "Have you lost your mind? This will create all kinds of chaos! I cannot imagine Endymion even stating such a fact especially to you! I am his lead General."
"Are you calling me a liar? Perhaps Endymion did not tell you because of your obvious temper issues." She sneered at the General. Kunzite clenched his fist at his sides.
"ENOUGH! We will take into consideration what you say Lady Anne. Tomorrow we will meet and the council will put it to a vote. General Kunzite the next time you are in my sight I suggest you be in better spirits or you will no longer sit on this council. Dismiss." Lord Wrath concluded. Lady Anne smirked at Kunzite. She walked towards him with swaying hips.
"Kunz do not be upset. Perhaps later tonight I could help you channel all that angry energy. Maybe you just need a woman's touch." She purred swaying seductively against Kunzite.
"Perhaps, but if you are offering yourself. I would rather cut off my own hand." He stated with venom.
She narrowed her eyes at him. "That can be arranged General. Be careful what you ask for." She turned and left the room.
Kunzite felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to see Zoicite. He could tell the general was anxious. "We need to speak privately Kunz." Kunzite let out a sigh and nodded.
The generals all sat in Endymion's study.
"We have to do something. Anne has the council by the balls." Kunzite spoke first.
"Don't you mean she's licking the council's ba-?"
"Jadeite!" Zoicite hissed.
"I am just stating the facts. I get this feeling now Allan's death was not an attack from the moon." Jadeite said leaning back in his chair. "Funny how Anne is now getting a position at council and able to handle relations with the other planets."
"We have to tell Endymion. We cannot let this decree happen." Kunzite vowed.
"How are we sure the council will vote to approve it?" Jadeite asked.
"It is all but said that Lady Anne has already swayed the vote of Wrath and Seyia. I probably can convince Rubeus to side with us." Kunzite added.
"How are we going to communicate with Endymion?" Zoicite asked.
Kunzite and Zoicite looked at each and then both looked at Jadeite.
"Zoi, I think I have an idea…"Kunzite smirked.
"What idea?" Jadeite asked.
"If you are thinking what I am thinking. I think it is time Jadeite visited the Moon." Zoicite smiled.
"What!"

Endymion had been waiting about ten minutes and the princess had not shown. He snorted quietly to himself. Go figure the Princess would chicken out he should have known better. She probably was lying about sneaking out to the villages. He was brought out his thoughts when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and saw a servant girl. He heard a giggle underneath the hood. A familiar giggle.
"Serenity?" He pulled the hood back to reveal the beautiful Princess. How could she manage to look sexy in a servant uniform? He shook off the thought.
"I am sorry I am late but my maid Molly took longer to leave tonight. I had to wait 'til the coast was clear to be able to grab a maid's uniform. You did not think I would chicken out did you?" She teased.
"I was not too sure. You are the prim and proper Princess of the Moon you know?" He teased back.
She grabbed his hand in her soft small one. Electricity shot down his arm. He wondered what that hand would feel like on his naked flesh. He groaned internally at the thought.
'What is happening to me?' He asked himself.
"Come on or we will be late!" She stated.
"Late for what?" He asked. She giggled.
"You will have to see when we get there." She dragged him along to the stables.
She hopped on the black stallion and held out her hand for him. He merely raised a brow at her.
"You want me to ride with you?" He asked.
She nodded. "Why are you afraid? It will be less noticeable if only one horse is missing. But if you are scared to sit next to me I suppose we can take another."
He laughed in outrage. "I am not afraid of pretty maiden Princess. I have done quite more than ride a horse with a lady I assure you." She blushed quite prettily, which pleased him immensely. He mounted the horse and Serenity felt goose bumps. He smelled masculine and spicy. His warmth was making her dizzy. She suddenly did not know if it was a good idea to do this or not. Her breaths came out rushed. She got herself under control and they began to ride towards the village. Serenity was grateful when they finally reached their destination. Being in the cradle of his warmth was making her drowsy.
"Where are we?" His deep voice came, breaking Serenity out of her trance.
Endymion could not help but be in awe of what he saw. There were Moon Lilies everywhere. The gleaming lights decorated the silver and gold streets. Music floated through the village. Children and adults were dancing and celebrating. It was as if you could breathe in the magic.
"We are in the Village of Lunar." Serenity stated gleefully. "It is exciting isn't it?"
"Yes, why is everyone dancing?" He asked.
"It is our full moon celebration. Tonight there is a full moon on Earth. The ancients Lunarians use to believe that when the moon was full upon the Earth that two lovers the Lady Selene of the Moon and her Earth soulmate would meet. Their love brought peace upon the lands and the Moon and Earth shared a connection during the full moon." She stated.
"Why do they celebrate it now though? The Earth and Moon are not at war but our worlds are not exactly at peace." He stated confused.
"No, but they celebrate for hope. My people always dream of peace. We celebrate for one day to bring peace of two nations together. We celebrate to not forget those who were a part of the peace before our time." She smiled up at him. Endymion nodded numbly this was a lot to take in. The people of the moon dreamed of peace with Earth. That did not make sense when war was on the horizon between the two nations. Before he could give it a further thought, he felt his arm being tugged at.
"Well come on!" She gave him a dazzling smile.
"Where are we going?" He asked.
"To dance of course! Unless you are afraid of course." She teased.
He shook his head. "I do not dance is all."
She kinked an eyebrow at him. "The great Darian of Terra does not dance. Well suit yourself." With a shrug of her shoulders, she ran towards the group of villagers dancing.
He watched as a woman placed a crown of flowers upon Serenity's head. Serenity began to twirl and danced to the fast music the villagers were playing. The silver haired beauty immediately enraptured the crowed as she danced to the beat. Flowers began to fall upon their heads as the children came by throwing Moon Lilies in the air. Endymion watched as a small blonde boy came up to Serenity tugging upon her dress. She looked down with a loving smile.
"Can I dance with the pretty lady please?" He asked Serenity.
"Of course you can kind sir." She curtsied before him and picked the small boy up. He laughed in glee as she spun him around. Endymion felt his heart in his throat. None of this felt real. It could not possibly be real. He saw the Moon and the Princess in a different light. What he came here to do made him feel sick. He felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked over to see an elderly man look at him with a smile.
"Why don't ya ask her to dance with ya boy?" The man asked.
Endymion smiled and shook his head. "Who are you speaking of?"
The old man smacked his shoulder. "Do not play stupid ya ninny. The beauty you have been eyeing all night. It is obvious you care for her. I know that look in your eyes. I do not see a young strapping lad such as yourself having a problem with the ladies."
"I do not dance." He stated.
"Well that's too bad. The poor girl has wanted you to dance with her all night."
"What? How do you know that?" He turned toward the man and he was gone. He looked back to see Serenity lay a kiss on the young boys cheek taking a flower out of her hair and gave it to him. He ran off to his parents. The music slowed down and he watched as the couples of the village started to dance in a slow rhythm. Serenity smiled softly looking at all the couples around her. Until she felt strong, arms encircle her waist. She turned and saw Darien looking at her. He turned around in his arms bowing slightly.
"May I have this dance? I saw your beauty from where I was standing and new I must dance with you before the end of the night." He said with a smirk.
She slid her arms up his chest and around his neck. She smiled softly.
"I thought you do not dance?" She asked.
"I suppose I can manage one dance for the most beautiful lady of the moon." He look down into her eyes. He could feel himself getting lost in to the crystal blue sea. His heart started to beat out of his chest. Endymion never felt like this. It was beginning to scare the hell out of him. Surely one small woman could not change him in just a few days.
Serenity laid her head on his chest. She felt the heat of him and his sent intoxicate her. She heard the gentle beating of his heart as they swayed to the music. She looked up at him and shivered at the look he gave her. His eyes were a shade darker and hooded.
"If I could change anything right this moment. I would wish I could live on Earth. I wish I could just be an ordinary girl." She whispered.
He ran his fingers through her silver mane.
"You mean you are not an ordinary girl? Who are you then?" He stated in mock outrage. She giggled and swatted his chest playfully. He chucked in reply.
"How about tonight you are you and I am me. Just Serenity and Darien. It does not matter if I am from Earth and you are from the moon. We are just a woman and a man enjoying the evening together." He whispered. His breath was warm on her lips. She felt their noses getting closer and her heart sped. His lips brushed hers softly. His lips were warm and soft. He tasted of chocolate. His arms snaked around her waist pulling her closer, crushing her to his chest. She gasped and he delved his tongue into her sweet mouth.
Endymion groaned. He never knew something as sweet as she. She consumed him. Her soft body crushed against his own. He could feel every young curve of her body. He inhaled her sweet sent committing it to memory. He could feel himself hardening as she let out a soft moan. Trailing soft kisses down her throat, he felt Serenity tremble under his touched. She clutched his shirt desperately. Nipping softly at the sweet skin of her neck, his lips found its way back to hers. She tasted of sweet strawberries and vanilla. Passion was consuming him quickly. His veins were boiling with white-hot lust. He had to end this soon or risk causing too much of scene in the village. He broke this kiss. Leaning his forehead against hers. He looked into her eyes and what he saw made him hungrier with lust. She was flushed. Cheeks pink and eyes sparkling with lust and another emotion he could not name. Their breathing still ragged as Endymion tried to catch a grip with reality.
"Perhaps we should get going back to the palace." She stated raggedly.
He nodded. He did not think he was able to speak normally. He slipped his hand in hers as they went back to the horse. They rode back to the palace in silence. Once they returned to the stables, he helped Serenity off the stallion.
She looked down at the grown feeling shy. He had not spoken anything to her since the kiss. She never remembered a time where she lost herself and sense of who she was as she had while kissing him. Serenity had kissed a boy once. He had been a servant boy but it was a chaste innocent peck of the lips. She was not skilled in the art of seduction. Maybe he had not enjoyed it as much as she had. He surely had better. Perhaps he did not want anything to do with her anymore. She broke out of her trance when she felt him pull her near and tilt her chin up to him.
He leaned down giving her a soft kiss on her lips. She sighed into this kiss. It was soft and tender. Nothing like the passion filled kiss they shared in the village. It made her melt and ache in places she never knew existed. He pulled away slowly and ran a finger across her soft cheek.
"Can you meet me here tomorrow night?" He asked huskily.
"Yes." She whispered. He nodded laying a kiss on her forehead.
"'Til then my sweet Serenity."
….
Endymion walked in quietly to his room and sighed. Tonight had not went as he planned. Oh, he had Serenity right where he wanted her. She was putty in his hands now. The two kisses he bestowed on her proved as much. However, he had not expected him to respond the way he did. She consumed him. With her beauty, her enchanting laugh, and dazzling smiles she gave to him. He did not expect Serenity to be so…wonderful. She was loving and kind. She cared for her people. It was all the characteristic of a wonderful queen. This was all so fucked up. He felt like breaking something. Another thing he did not expect was for the people of the moon to be so hopeful for peace with the Earth. None of this seemed right if the Moon wanted war.
"Well it's about time you got in." Nephrite stated.
Endymion jumped and placed his heart over his chest. "Fuck Neph! You scared the shit out of me."
"Good. I have been up worried sick about you. You are way past curfew." He snickered as Endymion through a pillow at him.
"How did it go?" Nephrite asked.
Endymion raked a hand through his hair and sighed as he sat on his bed. "This does not feel right Nephrite. The people are not what I expected."
Nephrite raised an eyebrow. "By people do you mean the Lunarians or the Princess?"
"Both I suppose." He said with a sigh.
"Maybe Lady Anne was wrong. Maybe we have let our prejudice against them cloud our judgment." Nephrite stated.
"Perhaps. But if that is the case who would of murdered Allan and left the Lunarians seal?"
"Maybe it was someone who would benefit from the Earth and Moon warring?" Nephrite added.
Endymion nodded his head. "We need to investigate into the matter. If we are wrong who ever caused this needs to pay. They are not ally to the alliance or to Earth."
"Endymion you do realize if we were wrong about this. We are going to be in a shit of trouble." Nephrite asked quietly.
"That is why we need to find out something…and fast. We will fix this problem before it even begins."
