Cira watched as her father assisted her mother into the carriage.
"We'll be back soon, darling," Queen Malina waved to her daughter. Cira nodded and watched as the carriage drove away.
"They've never been called away to another galaxy," Sol said as he pushed his glasses up, "but apparently it was necessary." Sol turned to a teary eyed Cira and frowned at her. "How about today you don't have any classes?" Cira smiled and hugged Sol then dashed up the stairwell to her room. She pushed open the doors to her balcony and stared up at the sky. The moons seemed brighter than usual and a cool breeze blew through her hair.
"Cira," Zoicite knocked at her door then entered her room, "are you going down to see Celino again today?" Cira looked at Zoicite and pouted,
"He's busy all this week, but he promised he'd write." Zoicite nodded.
"Would you perhaps like to visit Earth with the generals and myself?" He smiled. "I know we're not nearly as fun as Celino, but."
"Are we going now?" Cira rushed up to Zoicite and smiled at him.
"Yes," he smiled, "we'll be down there for a few days." Cira rushed past him and down the stairwell. At the bottom of the stairwell Kunzite smiled at her.
"I guess that's a yes," he laughed. They went to the teleportation machine and teleported to Earth. When they arrived Mars spotted them and stopped in his tracks.
"I was just on my way over there," Mars laughed lightly. Fear filled Cira's eyes as she stared at Mars. "Nothing is wrong, Princess," he smiled, "I was just delivering a present and a letter." Cira squealed as Mars handed her the letter and the present. When she opened the silver box she turned to the generals and smiled.
"He sent me cookies," she giggled. She tore the letter opened and read it then smiled and clutched the letter tightly.
"I hope the cookies taste alright," Mars smiled, "we all sort of suck at cooking."
"You all helped make the cookies," Cira inquired as she smiled back. Mars nodded. Cira smiled. "Unfortunately what I want to give Celino might be a bit awkward coming from you," she giggled causing Mars to turn red. "Will you be heading back now?" She inquired of Mars.
"No," he replied, "not a lot to do since everyone is away." Cira turned to Jadeite and smiled devilishly at him.
"Jadeite could use some company while we're here," she smiled and turned back to Mars. Mars and Jadeite both turned red from embarrassment.
"We're in that cabin over there," Kunzite smiled and led everyone to the house. A few days had passed and Cira and the generals were preparing to return home.
"Thank you for inviting me to stay," Mars bowed to Cira then looked up at Jadeite, "I had a really good time." Cira curtsied and waved goodbye to Mars. Back at the palace Cira smiled and nudged Jadeite.
"Did you two have fun?" She teased.
"You're almost as bad as Nephrite," Jadeite groaned. A flustered Sol met them at the gate of the kingdom. His silver eyes were bloodshot as if he had been crying. Tears stained his cheeks and the generals rushed Cira inside.
