The cats and all their friends are all from the imaginations of Takeuchi Naoko. I'm not that creative.

Wanting experience
Artemis's story part III

Artemis glared at the survey that was on his computer screen. He never understood why he had to take one every time he applied to transfer from the homebased based diplomatic corps to the traveling ambassador division. He glanced at Joshu's picture to give himself strength. If what Joshu had said life was like on other planets was true, then he might as well get used to useless paper work. When the survey was finally finished, he had to fill out the application. That was the easy part. They never included trick questions in it.

When he reached the boxes for languages spoken, he clicked on Jalilan, Kinmokun, and of course Maun. As he scanned through the rest of the list, he noticed that they had added a box called other. On a whim he clicked it, and then typed in Silver Millennium. He glanced at the picture once again. It was all thanks to him that he was fluent in three foreign languages.

'And well versed in the customs of many worlds as well. Every one that Joshu had been to, I think I learned about.' He remembered sitting comfortably in Joshu's apartment eating , drinking, and listening to tales. It was there he learned that the Maun's system had two sailor senshi, one of which was from this planet. Kinmoku had three senshi and that the princess was from Kinmoku itself. The Jalilan system had three senshi also, but their queen didn't have daughter yet.

'And he says that the Sol system has six senshi, and a queen with a princess. Then he said that there are seven more senshi talked about in legends. There are only nine planets in that system. And yet everything else he taught me was true.'

Joshu had left the year that Artemis had started training for the diplomatic corps. He had talked about going home to see his niece, the Princess of Venus. Artemis smiled as he remembered that he had learned more about his job and the skills needed to fulfill it by listening to the stories of one man's life.

'And his stories were a lot more interesting than all those lectures. And those etiquette lessons were the pits. If I had done what they said, the Jalilan's royal party last week would have renounced all association with us. I would have insulted their queen!'

He refocused on the screen in front of him. ' I want to go live my life. I want to have an adventure. I want to taste all the different foods out there. I want to see other worlds.'

He clicked send. 'Please, let me go.'
