I hope you enjoy this chapter.
A look back into the past...
"Serenity... get back here! We have to get to our class!" Mercury's soft voice rose as she gazed at the fleeting princess before her eyes. "Catch me if you can!" The Moon princess said playfully followed by a childish giggle while she gracefully ran across the silvery lawn. "You bet we will!" Venus said as playfully, as her dainty hands moved and grabbed her orange creamsicle colored gown and started to chase after Serenity. The same action was followed by Mars with her ruby red gown, Jupiter with her jade green gown and Mercury with her ocean blue flowing dress. No sooner than later the four princesses were chasing after the Moon princess and their joyful laughter and teasing filled the air.
"Prince we probably should head back soon." Kunzite said in a rather firm but respective tone as he walked slightly behind Endymion. He knew their orders and sightseeing on the Moon was definitely not one of them. The King had been firm before they left. He told the four generals to escort Endymion to the Moon, speak with the Queen then bring him back to Earth safely as quickly as possible. But how can he the leader of the generals convinced the Prince that they must take their leave? He was still their master and no matter what what the King had told him, he still have to follow Endymion's words. Kunzite knew why the King wouldn't allow for Endymion to linger any longer than needed on the Moon, and he also knew that if the King wasn't that occupied with other more important matters that he would have not send Endymion to speak with the Queen, that the King himself would have went there for the treaty. Before the Prince was born, it was prophesied by Nephrite's mother, Queen Metaria that the Prince of Earth would fall in love with the Princess of the Moon, not that there was anything wrong with falling in love. Kunzite himself thought this to be a beautiful feeling, rather whimsical but it was the fact that the Prince of Earth would fall for the Moon Princess that didn't sit well on the King's shoulder. Not just with the King of course, but to those who knew about the prophesy. The generals knew about it and they too were not very keen on that idea, for just like most of the population of Earth, they too didn't trust the citizens of the Moon.
Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite and Kunzite were princes from the four corners of planet Earth and they were the chosen ones to be Endymion's elite generals and confidants. The decision may have been made for them by their parents but the four men were all proud that the duty was bestowed upon them, for each of the generals felt it as great honor. The five of them were raised together and have treated each other like brothers. There was a strong bond and understanding between the five of them- to the point that they will all die for each other. Neither of the four saw watching out for Endymion as a duty but rather, it was a given. For they all love Endymion as their own brother.
"Kunzite... I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to stay even for a few minutes." Said Jadeite as his hues gazed at the beautiful scenery around him. The landscape looked just like the ones in Earth but not quite exactly, for the plants and flowers on the Moon garden was something he had never seen on Earth- for all of them have that silvery hue in them. "What is matter with everybody? You all see plants and you all suddenly forget that we all have to get back to Earth!" Kunzite said somewhat annoyed as his right hand moved towards his head and let his fingers glide through his thick black hair. Endymion slightly turned around and threw a playful punch at Kunzite's arm. "Will you lighten up? Why are you such in a hurry anyway?" The Prince chuckled lightly as Kunzite playfully punch him back hitting him on the side of his body. The five men had not been paying attention to where they were heading nor was the Moon Princess. She had been running away from the other four princesses and instead of looking at the direction she was going towards to, she was looking back at the other four females.
"Serenity! Watch out!" Yelled Mars trying to warn the princess but it was too late, for her petite body had collided against Endymion. The prince had lost his balance and the two tumbled down a small dip and fell right on the silvery grass that covered the lawn. She laid beneath his heavy weight, her chocolate brown hues gazed up at his same colored eyes. He knew exactly who she was, for the golden crescent moon insignia on the middle of her forehead was quite visible underneath her bangs. He thought she was beautiful and never had he laid eyes on or seen such beauty up to this moment. Serenity had no idea who he was but she had noticed the way he was gazing down at her and it made her cheeks blush. The side of her lips curled up into a soft shy smile as she continued to look deeply into his eyes.
The moment was soon broken as their respective guardians ran by their sides. The generals helped the prince up while the senshi helped their princess up. "Are you alright?" Endymion gently asked the much younger female. "Yes, I am." Serenity answered shyly with a slight nod of her head. Serenity clasped both of her hands by her chest as she gazed back up at him once again. She can feel the mad beating of her heart against her chest, as she looked deeply into his eyes.
Jupiter was about to yell at the prince of Earth for not paying attention and bumping into the princess when she caught Nephrite's eyes who had been staring at her. Mars with a soft blush across her cheeks had been gazing at Jadeite, who was also looking back at her. The same with Mercury and Zoisite, Venus and Kunzite. The ten of them stood there, their eyes connected to the respective person that had not only caught their eyes but heart as well. The four princesses knew who the males that stood right in front of them. The generals fighting skills were well known across the planets and the generals very well knew who the four princesses were- and they can't believe that they were standing right before them.
"I assume you are Princess Serenity. I am Prince Endymion of Planet Earth." The prince said softly as he extended his hand towards her. She extended her arm and was going to place her hand on top of his, when Venus finally broke through the love spell that she was under in. "Serenity... let us go." She unwillingly pulled her hues away from Kunzite, put a strong hand on Serenity's elbow and pulled her away. "Mercury, make sure she changes her gown first before we head to our class. Jupiter and Mars, go to Sensei and let her know we will be there soon." Mercury put a gentle hand on Serenity's arm as she led her towards the castle, with Mars and Jupiter closed by behind them. Venus gave Endymion one final look before quickly heading back to the palace. She must let the Queen know what had just happened. It was her duty as leader of the senshi to let the Queen know everything that had happened to the princess.
"Let us go Master." Was all Kunzite can say. He knew that the King wouldn't be please at all if he found out that Endymion and Serenity had actually met. There was nothing he can do, it was almost fate meant for them to meet. Although, he doesn't regret, nor any of the generals, what had just taken place, for their eyes, they truly had met the most beautiful being on the galaxy and they will carry their images deep in their hearts until the day they die. "We should get going." Endymion agreed as he gave the Moon princess one last look. The five of them concentrated on their energies, gently floated off from the grassy lawn and quickly flew out of the Moon's atmosphere, out to the space back to their own home planet, the Earth.
