Since no one really reads these author's notes I see no point in
having them.

Disclamir: Sailor Moon is not mine.



 " Lita!" the voice rang through the morning light. Maids folding 
bedclothes and setting tables looked up from their work. Butlers 
bringing in trays and setting out flowers looked up from their work 
to meet the gaze of the maids before shoulders were shrugged.
Lady Margret stomped through the carpted hall past high windows with 
light shining through them. Her spiced gray hair was pulled back into 
a tight bun, so normally neat was now allowing loose pieces to fly 
around her face.
She clutched her black book in her white knuckled fist the other hand
lifting her blue skirt.
" Princess Makoto! Where are you?!" The women screamed through the 
hall ways.
Maids popped their heads out of open doorways too see the lady 
running through the halls. They giggled and disappered into the empty 
rooms.
Lady Margret stopped and pushed back a stray strand of hair, trying 
to compose her emotions.
" Princess Makoto!!!!" She screamed loudly looking up at the ceiling 
screwing her face up and shuting her eyes.

The brezze blew past the girl running through the fields, her brown 
hair like a cloak floating behind her. The grass was wet with morning 
dew that shone in the bright light. Sparkling drops covered her bare 
feet, legs clad in loose black pants.
Lita, Princess Makoto of Jupiter ran past the dark trees on the edge 
of the castle grounds. She was breathing hard and a cramp was forming 
in her side yet Lita ran on.
It had been 9 years since Ken had left and many things had changed in 
both her and around her. She had seen the death of her parents when 
she was 13 and now was left alone to run her own kingdom. She had 
seen suitors and wars come and go like a flash of light on a rain 
drop. She had seen it all and would face any challenge that faced 
her.
With a light foot, Lita jumped from the ground and scaled the garden 
wall, landing on her feet inside the garden.

" Please tell her higness that I request her pressence immeaditly 
when she gets in," Lady Margret said sternly to the maid in front of 
her. 
The girl nodded then broke into a smile and looked past Lady Margret.
The Lady turned around a puzzled look on her face to see a dirt 
stained and sweaty Princess of Jupiter.
" Never mind Geniveve, you are dismissed," Lady Margret said waving 
the maid away.
The girl nodded and curstied beofre hurrying away laughing softly to 
herself.
" Hi Margret, did I miss anything?" Lita asked stepping past the 
womyn and walking over to the breakfast table.
" Where have you been? And why do you smell like the barn?" Lady 
Margret asked wrinkling her nose distastefully.
Lita picked up a roll and took a bite of it. " I went running in the 
woods, I need some air," she replied, her mouth full.
" Quite," Lady Margret said rasing herself a little bit. " While I've
 been looking for you all morning. You have an appoitment with the 
King of Pluto this morning and after the that your lessons with 
Princess Merecury on her planet. After your lessons you need to go to 
Neptune and meet with the King there. Of course you also need to 
report to the Moon Kingdom to help in greeting Princess Kaguya and 
her royal guard," Margret said shifting through the pages on her 
book.

Lita sighed and swallowed her bite of roll. 

" But first you'll need a bath and a proper breakfast," Lady Margret 
said closing her book and grabbing Lita's arm.
" Hey!" Lita yelled startled as she was pulled out of the room.

" One, Two, Three. One, Two, Three. Good posture Mercury, Jupiter 
please take that glum expression on your face and try to look happy."

Lita straightned up and plastered a smile on her face. Ami smiled and
 glided past Jupiter in the arms of her partner.
The dance master clapped his hands, instanly the music stopped and 
Lita were taken away from the ballroom, transported back to the small 
music room. Their partners disappering along with the vision. 

" Jupiter, you need to look cheerful when you dance. You want your 
partner to feel that you wanted him to dance with you. Your look will
only make him think the opposite of such emotions," The dancing 
master sighed moping off his sweating forehead with a heavily 
perfumed handkerchief.
Lita nodded and lifted her arms again, pretending to be in the arms 
of her partner. 
" No, no more Miss Jupiter, your lesson is over for today, please 
practice what I have taught you. I'll see you both tomarrow," he said 
nodding to the girls and beckoning his pianoist who scrambled up 
grabbing the music notes and following after the pompus over dressed 
dancing master.

Lita allowed her arms to drop to her side and turned to Ami.
" I really don't like that man," she growled looking at his 
disappering form.
" You should not be so diffucult to him, Lita. Remember were not 
little kids any more. We need to focus on the real issues of marriage 
and proper court etequite," Ami replied smiling at Lita.
" I'll focus on that when the time comes, right now I just want to 
have fun and get some air," Lita replied walking over to the french 
doors and opening them wide so the white lacy curtins blew in the 
wind that gusted through.
" Smell those roses, lets go outside and visit the gardens," Lita 
said turning to Ami.
" I don't know, we should be heading over to Mars for training. You 
know Luna and Artimes will be mad if were late," Ami replied 
skeptically.
" Oh come on, we still have time. Anyway's Serena is always later 
then us," Lita replied wlking out the doors.
Ami sighed and picked up her white skirt following Lita out the 
doors.

Princess Mars sat tapping her foot impatiently, she looked all around 
her. 
" Where are they?" Rei growled crossing her arms over her fuku and 
sitting on the wooden block.

Princess Serenity smiled and clapped her hands happily.
" Oh Endymion! That was wonderful!" Serena said jumping up and down a 
bit.
Prince Endymion turned and smiled at his princess before he lunged at 
Kunzite with his sword. Farther away Nephrite was battling Zoiciste 
while Jadite lounged agaisn't his sword lazily watching the two.


" So Ami, how is your romance with Greg?" Lita asked stepping over 
the green grass, her slippers in one hand.
Ami blushed and looked down. " Oh it is fine," Ami replied, 
stutterling slightly.
" Ohhhh romance," Lita giggled.
" Lita, of course not," Ami gasped looking up, her cheeks on fire.
" Your blushing Ami," Lita replied haughtily.
Ami blushed redder and looked down again.

' Most girls are destined to have one great love in their life. 
Serena had Darien, Jupiter has Nephlite, Mars has Yuchiro, and 
Mercury has Greg. But who do I have? No one. I am the Senshi of love 
and beauty yet can no one find it in their heart to love me?'

Mina looke up from her diary and out to the balconey. The moons of 
Venus shone brightly over the castle. A little to brightly for Mina's 
glum mood, she looked down at the curvy writing that proclamied her 
loneliness and longing and slammed the book in fustaration. Mina got 
up from her desk and walked out onto the balconey, a slight brezze 
ruffled her hair blowing a few stray strands into Mina's face. 
Growling in fustaration she pushed the strands behind her ears and 
leaned onto the rail.
" I am Minako Anio, Princess of Venus and the goddess of love, yet 
where is my one great love?" Mina muttred to herself. 
Deep down Mina knew it was quite silly to focus your life on finding 
love but she was Princess Venus after all and all her life she had 
been rasied on the aspects of love and all the wonder and beauty it 
was supposed to have within it. Mina just sighed and leaned her head 
on her arms.


After a long walk through the gardens, at which Mercury had confessed
her kissing Zoiciste in the library. The two had parted ways with the 
realazation that they had missed training but not leaving the time to 
report to Mars.
Lita walked off the transporter onto the Moon. She had rushed back to
her home to dress and freshen up for the formal visit of Princess 
Kangyua and her royal guard.

In the distance Serena was thinking dreamily of Endymion while Rei 
fumed and growled next to her. Ami was deep in the depths of her book 
when Lita jogged up waving happily.
" Fine time you show up, You didn't show up for training. Without a 
bit of reason, I waited a full hour for anyone to show up, yet no one
does," Rei growled.
" Wait, no one came to training?" Lita asked stepping back a little 
from the firey Rei.
They both looked at Serena who was off in a dreamworld.
" Uhh, I can understand," Lita said smiling embaressedly.
" Hey where's Venus?" Ami asked looking up from her book.
The 4 girls looked around them but they did not see the blond 
princess of love.
" You know, I don't know," Lita replied.
" She didn't come to training either," Rei growled.
Lita sighed while Ami went back to reading. Serena continued to float 
on the clouds.

A little while later The Princess of the Moon Serenity or Serena has 
everyone called her stood beside her mother a look of boredom playing 
across her face. Behind her stood the Princess of the inner planets 
also known as her protectors. They were all there except for Venus 
who had still not shown up. 
A slight brezze blew upon them bringing the scent of flowers that 
covered the moon kingdom and the feeling of cold hatred watching them 
from above. Mars shivered at this but brushed it off as the 
teleportation pad lite up with 4 figures, 3 men and a women. Queen 
Serenity stepped forward to greet these new comers with all the 
warmth and genorasity she could bring. 
" Welcome to my Kingdom, you must be the princess of fragrent olives,
Kangyu," Queen Serenity said curtsying to a beautiful women dressed 
in red. 
" We are glad you invited us, I must introduce you to my royal 
guards." Kangyu waved a hand at the three men standing behind her at 
slight attention. They where studying the girls in front of them but 
they snapped to attention when their Princess signaled for them.

The first of the men stepped forward, he had long black hair tied 
back and dark peircing eyes.
" I am Seyia Kou or Sailor Star Fighter, I am pleased to meet you 
ladies," Seyia said with an agravated bow and a smirk on his face.
Serena and Rei shot each other looks but manged to keep their faces 
straight.
The tallest of the four stepped forward and gave them a rather slight 
bow.
" I am Takki Kou, Sailor Star Maker, I am pleased to make your 
accuantice ladies." 
Ami blushed as the taller man caught her eye and held it for longer 
then was proper, she was finally forced to tear her gaze away and 
stare at the ground, her cheecks crimson red.
The third man steeped forward, he had silver hair and a rather bored 
expression on his face.
" I am Yaten Kou, Sailor Star Healer." With that Yaten backed up and 
gave the girls a dirty look.
Everyone was quite for a few seconds but then Queen Serenity regained 
her composure and smiled at the new comers. 
" If you will follow me I will show you to your rooms, Girls," The 
Princess snapped to attention. " Prehaps when are guest are more 
settled in you would like to show them around the palace." The 4 
princesss nodded and watched the Queen walk off gaily chatting with 
the princesss while the three lights followed behind them.
" I guess Yaten is not to happy to be here," Jupiter said watching 
the retreating back of Yaten.
" Hey Serena, I think Seyia likes you," Rei said poking Serena in the
 side a smirk on her face. 
Serena instantly blew up, " You take that back Rei-chan! The only one 
for me is Darien!" Serena yelled back.
" I'm very surpirsed anyone like Darien would like such a MeatBall 
Head like you," Rei yelled back.
" Waaaaaa, that was so mean Rei, take that back!" Serena cried.
" Why you started it MeatBall head," Rei replied crossing her arms 
and shiffing at Serena.
Lita and Ami sweatdropped at such a display of childs emtions.
" Would you two please grow up," Ami screamed loudly over Serena's 
crying.
Serena stopped wailing and looked at Ami, a puzzled look on her face.
Ami did not scream, she was always so quiet and refiened.
" I mean, please be quiet," Ami said blushing.
Just then Mina came running up to them her breathing laboured and her 
hair a mess.
" Am I late?" Mina gasped.
" Yes you are, they have already arrived, the queen is with them 
now," Lita replied.
" Ahhhh I always miss all the good things," Mina said groaning and 
snapping her fingers.
" Don't worry Mina, you can see them later. Right now they are 
resting, lets go have our tea and maybe after that they'll be 
refreshed," Serena said taking Mina's arm. The other girls nodded and 
they all walked toward the gardens.
