Authors Tidbit:
Thank you for the flattering reviews. Its certainly not the quantity but the quality that truly counts. To be honest I wasn't going to update on this until I could add more. This is my least finish fanfic I've just been sort of preoccupied and I don't have much after this though I have the layout pretty much done. After Madam Hawks review I just had to give in. I am forever flattered by your comment. Makes me want to write real works of fiction for myself
- 5 yrs. Later -
Skillfully she pulled her arm back, the straight piece of wood held tautly in its bow. Her blue eyes analyzed her target and her fingertips soon released her weapon. She lowered her bow, her silver hair blowing in the wind as her gown clung to her perfectly developed features.
"Very good Serenity," Mars smirked, bands strapped upon their arms as they continued their archery contest. Mars pulled an arrow from the ground and drew it in her bow. Serenity relaxed and looked at her other companions.
"Your birthday is coming up shortly your majesty," A soft voice said to her side and Serenity let out a soft sigh, a smirk coming to her features.
"Yes, so it is," she responded, her eyes watching Mars' arrow hit the bull's eye next to her own. "I suppose we should do something about it," she grinned and Jupiter smirked leaning against a nearby tree.
"And what do you have in mind fair Princess?" She asked and Serenity smirked drawing an arrow out of the ground. Jupiter was always one she could count on for a good adventure.
"Perhaps take a new lover?" Mars smirked and Serenity's arrow flew straight piercing Mars' splitting it in two. Mars pressed her lips together and winked at her Princess.
"I have not yet tired of the one I have. You know my month rule and I've only played with him for a week," she grinned and Venus let out a sigh. "Do not sigh at me Venus, you being the descendant of Aphrodite this could be construed as your influence," she smirked leaning on her bow and the tall guardian grinned at her Princess, her form leaning elegantly next to a tree as Mercury sat by her.
"Dear cousin, if you would have been influenced by me you would do it better," she smirked and Serenity let out a soft laugh.
"What number are you on Serenity?" Jupiter asked with a raised eyebrow and Serenity pressed her lips together in a delicious smirk.
"Mercury," she spoke and the aquatic genius smirked up at her.
"Twelve."
"My foreign affairs have proven to be most successful. With each passing month I draw another into an alliance and into my collection," Serenity smirked satisfied and Venus could only smile at her.
"Her beauty has never failed her," Mercury grinned and Mars fired off another shot.
"I believe it is more my power they are looking for, yet my mother's blessing of form has done me no harm," she mumbled watching Mars's arrow split through the back of a target. "We are going to need another one of those," she breathed thoughtfully and Mars nodded.
"Yes," she grinned and the two turned to the other three members of the Inner Court Alliance.
"I believe we are well prepared for your ascension to the throne," Venus commented and Serenity let out a small sigh.
"I am afraid I have but short time to continue sowing my wild oats until I take my rightful position. I still have many conquests I wish to pursue before taking on the full traditions of the Moon," she smirked; playfulness in her eyes and Mercury shook her head as she rose.
"You are like your father," she grinned and Serenity curtsied slightly.
"Thank you darling," she grinned and Mars quietly unstrapped the leather on her shooting arm.
"I can see in your eyes that you are cooking up your next scheme," Venus said glancing at her cousin and the beauty gave off a face of sweet innocence. Gently she picked up the hem of her skirts and the five traveled out of their private courtyard towards the marble palace.
"Of course, I am working out its perfection as we speak. Only time will tell if it proves worthy to pursue," she smirked and the others grinned at her as they climbed the marble steps. Suddenly she turned, her eyes alive with adventure and the four glanced at her curiously. "But if it works out, it shall be great," she smirked and Jupiter grinned.
"You're greatest yet?" She asked and Serenity let out a laugh, turning to continue on her way.
"My most dangerous and most daring. I plan to take on what no other has done before yet there is still much planning to be done so have patience my friends. Only in due time can certain things be played out," she whispered and the four warriors exchanged curious glances. What more could their Princess conquer? She had already captured hundreds of hearts around the galaxy, the most untamable creatures she has bent to her will… what would she think of next? "For now, I imagine we have a party to attend," she let out a sigh and the four warriors pressed their lips together. Indeed, they did.
His frame walked silently yet purposefully through the marble halls. He let out a sigh, he had missed this house of stone. His last endeavors had kept him away for the better part of a month yet was nevertheless successful. He smiled as he ran a hand through his hair. He found it highly amusing as how his marriage had changed him so. So, impassioned by his wife's pursuits that he himself the once highly prejudiced King of a solitary planet now served as a galactic ambassador of peace. He smirked looking over the paper once again in his fingers. The names and planets of places he would no longer have to visit since their alliance was secured by other means.
Gently Lunar placed a string of crown jewels through her hair, the crown meeting in the middle of her forehead where a circle rested over her moon emblem. Flowing silk fell from her shoulders and curved around her perfect frame.
"I am most pleased with your constant contact with the outer court," Lunar smiled looking into the reflecting mirror where her Princess sat. Serenity smiled at her as she began to stand.
"I only reflect your wise teachings," she whispered when the door to her chamber was thrown open. Both women blinked looking in that direction when a set of blue eyes caught there's, a smile on the young warrior's face.
"Your father has returned," Mercury breathed and Serenity's face lit up as a gasp escaped her lips. Lunar smiled as she watched her Princess jump over her vanity chair and with skirt held firmly in her hands rush after the aquatic warrior.
"Some things can't be taught," Lunar sighed placing Serenity's brush back on her vanity. Slowly she followed them out, closing the door quietly behind her.
His step paused as he sensed a fire of emotions approach him and he smiled seeing silver odango appear around the corner. Blue eyes widened with joy as they met red and her soft laughter filled the hallways and Fergal smiled lovingly towards her.
"Papa!" She called, her loving voice bouncing off of the marble as her frame ran towards his. He laughed and held out his arms as she threw herself into them. "I have missed you so," she cried wrapping her arms tightly around him and he let out a sigh of contentment.
"I am always happy to hear that," he smiled pulling her back to gaze on his beautiful child. "You grow more beautiful every time I see you," he smiled gently stroking her chin and she blushed slightly and looked down. He wrapped an arm around her and she leaned into his embrace as he led her down the hallway. She sighed laying her head on his shoulder.
"How were your travels?" Serenity asked softly, clinging to his powerful form as comfort washed over her. Fergal grinned at her and held up a sheet of paper.
"I visited the Andromidads and was terribly surprised to discover the Moon had already struck an alliance there," he mumbled and a smirk slightly tugged on Serenity's lips remembering the young Prince she had conquered there.
"I was hoping to make your travels shorter so that mother would not be so lonely," she smiled and he smirked at her, his red eyes shining as his golden hair contrasted against her silver.
"Another prize to your collection my darling?" He asked and she smiled leaning her head back on his shoulder. "You have an interesting way of bringing galactic order," he mumbled as they walked towards the Queen's private chambers.
"I find it highly effective and entertaining," she replied and he smirked down at her and squeezed her shoulders making her giggle.
"Your mother would kill you for your exploits," he hissed and she grinned. They approached the stone-carved doors and he let out a sigh. "Well, at least you are only dealing in small portions," he mumbled and Serenity blinked pulling back a bit.
"Small?" She asked and he nodded a smile tugging on her lips.
"When have any of your conquests truly been a great challenge? Small planets here and there darling?" He asked raising an amused eyebrow and a playful smirk came to Serenity's face and she put a hand on her hip.
"Perhaps I shall broaden my scope," she hissed and he gently kissed her forehead and she sighed feeling the familiar tingle travel down her skin.
"Be careful my pet, I do not want that heart of yours broken," he said as they pushed open the doors.
"None could penetrate it father. Of that I am most confident," she smirked and their eyes searched the room for the desired form.
"Home my darling?" A soft melodious voice asked and Fergal smirked walking towards her, his daughter following at his heels. Selenity's crystal eyes glanced at her two beloveds and smiled opening her arms as Fergal pulled her tightly into his embrace. He turned and held out an arm pulling his daughter into their embrace. Selenity smiled kissing her daughter's head lovingly as she wrapped an arm around her form. She still rested three inches below her and Serenity smiled up lovingly at them.
"She's been doing quite well in her exploits," Fergal smirked and Selenity pressed her lips together and gently pinched her daughter's tender flesh making her giggle.
"I will not hear it," she said and the two smiled lovingly at her. Fergal gently kissed his wife's cheek and wrapped his arm tighter around her. It had been so long since he had seen his two girls.
"I fear I must depart for Neptune," Serenity's soft voice ended their blissful reunion and her parents nodded.
"Have fun my dear," Fergal smirked kissing her head and Selenity gently stroked her daughter's cheek.
"I love you my darling," she cooed and Serenity let out a blissful sigh surrounded by her parent's great love and she kissed their cheeks.
"I love you too," she whispered and they sighed watching her graceful form exit the room, the massive stone doors closing behind her. His lips began at her neck and she wrapped her arms tightly around him, her eyes closing in happiness at being in his arms once more. He bent down cutting her legs out from under her, pulling her perfect frame into his arms and she smiled looking up at him as he carried her across the room.
"I am always so proud of you darling," she whispered and he smirked at her.
"Of your creation my love?" He asked and she lovingly stroked his face, her lips gently kissing at the side of his neck and he sighed at her soft touch.
"You are a man above men. I did not change you my love, you became who you were meant to be," she whispered and smiled watching their bedroom chamber doors close. It had been so unbearably long since she had seen him. She traced her fingers over his face trying to familiarize herself with it. Gently he placed her form on their bed and kissed her palm lovingly as it traced over his lips.
"Did you forget me?" He asked huskily as he leaned over her and her eyes danced with excitement.
"Your touch is forever burned on my skin," she grinned and he smiled leaning down to capture her lips as they attempted to make up for lost time over the last few weeks.
Strings of music filled the air as couples danced across the floor. She heard a shuffle of chiffon at her side and smiled at the Venetian beauty.
"You crack one joke and I shall torture you for a week," Minet smirked stepping beside her and Serenity hid her smirk in her wine glass as she brought it to her painted lips. The liquid traveled down her throat and she spied the ballroom once more. Neptune's father loved to throw a party and did so often.
"I imagine your mother is to blame for that monstrosity," Reilie mumbled stepping to her leader's side and the Princess of Venus let out a huff. Her frame was cascading in orange ruffles. She felt like a marshmallow.
"How lovely to see you again Serenity," a musical voice filled the air and a smile came to Serenity's face as her eyes lit up. Gently she turned to the aquatic Princess who was smiling at her. Teal folds of fabric rested across her perfect frame.
"Michi the pleasure is all mine," she smiled and reached out, pulling the Senshi into her embrace. The Princess of Neptune smiled returning the endearment. Slowly their gaze drifted back to the floor.
"How are your conquests doing?" She asked raising a delicate eyebrow. "Did Lord Byron hold up to what you expected?"
"Hardly," Serenity sighed bringing her wine once again to her lips. Rei and Minet smiled at their Princess and shook their head.
"Perhaps you are with the wrong gender," a new voice mumbled from her left and a playful smirk came to the young Princess of the Moon's lips. She turned slightly to send smoldering eyes towards the new addition to their conversation.
"Darling, I would if only you were available," she cooed and Rei watched with fascination as the sandy-haired Princess of Uranus grinned at the seductive tactics of the Moon heir. Gently Haruka rested a hand on her back and Serenity and Michi grinned towards her.
"My sad condolences for your heartache. At least I have been able to penetrate it," she smirked and soft laughter filled the air. It made everyone who heard it smile.
"Indeed, my dear you have," she smiled and Haruka grinned towards her partner and the two outer Senshi stood protectively at their Princess' side.
"Another boring party," Haruka sighed and Michi smirked at her love. Serenity smiled and finished her glass of wine.
"Nothing my dears is boring when I am in your company," she grinned and the two smiled lovingly down upon her.
"Perhaps you should try taking more than one lover Serenity, three is such a new venture," Michi smirked and Haruka grinned gently wrapping an arm around Serenity's waist. Minet gulped and glanced at Rei who looked a bit queasy at the comment.
"I am bold yet not that daring. I fear I will have to stick with the opposite sex and only one at a time. I may be a hore, but for the month someone has me I am faithful," she smirked and Minet gasped.
"I want to hear no such word from your mouth Serenity!" She cried quietly and the three Princess' chuckled.
"Your cousin loves you dearly," Michi smiled at the goddess of Venus who fumed that her cousin would call herself such a thing.
"You all do, almost as much as I love all of you," Serenity smiled and Haruka sighed looking out to the dance floor.
"Very true."
