As The Tears Fell By MCRK
"This is so great!" Rei exclaimed happily. Her and Jeadite had decided to take a walk so they could
catch up.
"Yeah I know. It was so great of your mom to invite us." Jeadite agreed. "You know, I've been
wondering about that though. Why did she invite us?" He asked looking over at Rei. 'I thought she
hated me.' He silently added.
"I have no clue. I thought you knew." She said.
"Oh well. It's not a big deal. I'm back and that's what counts." He said.
"Your still my best friend you know." She said suddenly.
He smiled at her. "You are mine too." She smiled back happily. "Hey Rei, can I ask you a question?"
Jeadite asked.
"Yeah sure." She said shrugging.
"What happened," He hesitated for a moment trying to decide whether or not he should ask.
"Jed, you can ask me anything." She assured him seeing his hesitation.
"What happend to your dad?" He asked softly.
'Except that.' Rei thought silently as she immeaditly sat down on a small bench.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked. It's really none of my business." Jeadite apologized softly as he
sat down next to her.
"No it's ok. I don't mind telling you. See when I was about four years old, he was killed by a group
of angry protestors that he was trying to break up." Rei explained wiping a small tear away from her
eye.
Jeadite felt his heat drop. "Rei, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have--"
"No really it's fine." She interupted turning away from him. From the way she was sitting, he could
tell that she wasn't fine. After a moment she turnd back. "It's no big deal. It happended three years
ago and I'm over it." She said her voice wavering slightly.
Jeadite stood up and put an arm around her shoulder. "I know that you are trying to be all brave
because last time I saw you I said how I hated to see my friends cry, and because you told me that
you don't cry," He puased for a moment and smiled down at her. "But, it's ok to cry." Jeadite stood
there holding the smaller girl as she did just that. (If that is a little confusing it just means she cried.)
Jeadite was on his way to his room when he spotted the queen and remembered that he had wanted
to talk to her. "Excuse me, your majesty?" He called.
She turned around. "Oh hello Jeadite. It's nice to see you again." Victoria said.
"Yes you too. I was wondering if I could talk to you for a moment?"
"Of course." She said leading the way into a small sitting room where the two sat down and resumed
the conversation. "I am glad you and your mom decided to except my invitation to come stay here."
Victoria said.
"Yes. It's nice being able to see Rei again." Jeadite said. "That is actually what I wanted to talk to
you about. I know that you don't want me saying anything to Rei, so why is it that you would invite
me to come live here?" He asked.
The queen sighed. "I'm not really sure. I guess because I missed your mom, and I know Rei missed
you, and I missed seeing her happy." She explained, then suddenly smiled. "You know the entire two
years that you were gone, Rei was never truly happy. I think that is when I realized how much she
meant to you, so I figured, why not have them live here? And I knew it was a risk, because I know
you think Rei should be told, but I didn't want her to be so unhappy."
He nodded in understanding. "I take it though that you still haven't told her anything?" He asked.
She sighed. "I reallize that you are still determined to tell her, but I still believe it is in her best interest
not to know until it is time for her to leave." Victoria explained.
"How can you say that?" Jeadite asked incredously.
"It's quite simple actually. Rei doesn't need her life upset by finding out that in five years she will have
to leave to guard a princess she doesn't know, for the rest of her life." She said calmly.
"And what happens when I have to leave in two years?" He asked.
"Then, and only then, you may explain to Rei about Endymion's guards and that you are one of them.
You may not tell her anything about Serenity and if you say anything, anytime before she leaves, my
warning from before remains. Regardless of whether you live here, or on Earth, you will not be
allowed to talk to her. And that is my final decision." The queen said standing up and leaving the
room and Jeadite in his new found anger towards her.
*Over the next three years*
Jeadite quietly creeped into the princess' bedroom hoping no one else knew what he was doing. He
crept over to her bed holding a feather in one hand. He sat down next to her bed, trying to contain
his laughter, and started to lightly tickle her with the feather. She lightly started to stir, and he
continued, until she opened her eyes and grabbed the feather away, causing him to start laughing.
"Jed!" She cried. 'Could you please let me sleep just for once?"
"Nope." Jeadite said grining.
"You know, most people do need a few hours of sleep each day." Rei said sitting up.
"Yeah, normal people." He replied.
"Well, for once, could you at least wake me up in a more normal way?" She complained
"Hey, I'm just going with whatever works." He said shrugging
Yeah, but I hate being tickled!" Rei exclaimed
"Makes it all the more fun for me." Jeadite said laughing.
"Yeah yeah yeah. Now would you leave? Since you woke me up, I would like to get dressed. I will
be out in a few mintues." She said, slightly upset.
"Are you mad at me now?" He asked jokingly, knowing she couldn't get mad at him.
"Yes I am." She said trying to be serious.
He smiled at her, with his lopsided grin, the one that always made her forgive him. Rei tried to gaze
away, so if not to look, but she ended up smiling back at him. "Fine. I am no longer mad, but would
you leave now so I can get changed?" She exclaimed. "I will only be a few minutes."
"Yeah, sure." He said sarcastically as he walked to the door.
"Hey Jed,"
He turned around just as the pillow came flying at his face.
Rei gingerly dipped her foot into the freezing cold pool as she looked down at the uninviting water.
"Is it cold?" She asked. She looked up to see Jed's response, only to realize that he was no longer in
the pool.
"See for your self."
She whirled around to see Jeadite grinning evilly, before she plummeted into the freezing cold water.
"AHHHH!!!" She screamed once she popped up. '"It's freezing!" Rei exclaimed.
"I know." Jeadite said laughing as he jumped back in the pool. "That's why I thought you might need
some help getting in."
"That wasn't funny!" She said splashing him.
"Hey dork! Don't splash me!" He said splashing her back.
"Hey, I am not a dork!" Rei exclaimed.
"Fine I have come up with a new name for you. You shall now be reffered to as dorkus." Jeadite
decided
Rei couldn't help but laugh. "Dorkus? Where did you come up with that?" She asked.
He shrugged, the grinned at her. "I don't know but it fits." He said splashing her again.
"You know, I am the princess and technically I rule you, so you might want to stop splashing me."
She said splashing him back.
"Oh fine. Use that against me." He said.
She grinned at him, then shrugged, "Hey whatever works right?"
*Three years later*(AN: This is three years after Jeadite and Katherine move to Mars. Not three
years after the pool incident. Jeadite is now 12, and Rei is now 10.)
Rei wandered into the dining hall spotting her mother and Katherine. "Hey mom, have you seen
Jed?" She asked taking an apple out of the bowl of fruit that was placed on the table. Katherine and
Victoria exchanged worried glances. "Didn't Jeadite tell you?" Victoria questioned her daughter.
"Tell me what?" Rei asked.
"Honey, did Jeadite ever tell you that he was one of Endymion's future guards?" Kat asked. The
princess thought for a minute then shook her head.
"But that is such an honor." She said impressed. "What does that have to do with anything?"
"Rei, he along with the other three guards will become full guards when they are fourteen years old.
That means that to be ready by then, they have to start their training when they are twelve." Victoria
told her gently.
Rei's eys widened as she realized that Jed had just recently turned twelve.
"He's leaving tomorrow."
The apple fell completly unnoticed, from Rei's hand as the news sunk in. "No!" She shouted.
"Rei I'm sorry but--" The queen stopped short as Rei ran off otwards Jed's room with one thought,
'He can't be leaving!'
Jeadite sighed as he looked around the now bare room. 'I can't believe I am leaving tomorrow.' He
thought in amazement. 'I'm excited, but I'm also kinda nervous. And I am going to miss everyone,
especially Rei.' With the thought of her name he realized something. 'I haven't told Rei yet!'
"How come you didn't tell me?"
The voice came from the doorway and it was one he recognized well. Jeadite whirled around to see
Rei standing in the doorway with a hurt expression on her face. "Oh...shit." He said trying to hide the
suitcases. After a moment he just gave up and responded. "Uh hi." He said meekly.
"Don't 'hi' me!" She exclaimed in sudden anger. "How come you didn't tell me?" She demanded.
"Come sit down and I will explain." Jeadite said gesturing towards the bed. He shut the door and sat
down next to her. "It's not that I didn't want to tell you, believe me I did, but I wasn't allowed to tell
anybody." He tried to explain.
"I'm not just anybody." Rei pointed out.
"I know. And I'm sorry that I didn't tell you, it's just that," He was about to tell her the truth when
Queen Victoria's warning rang out in his mind. 'Damn you!' He silently cursed her. 'Rei is my best
friend and she deserves to know. Why can't I tell her?' He knew though that he wouldn't He couldn't
run the risk of never getting to see Rei again.
"Will I ever see you again?" Rei asked suddenly, all her anger forgotten.
He smiled at her. "I promise that you that one day we will meet again." He said thinking of the day
when Endymion would finally meet the princess.
"Will you write to me?" she questioned.
"Of course. I'll write whenever I can as long as you promise you will right back."
She nodded. "So are you excited?" She asked.
All of his nervousness suddenly came back. "Kinda. But what if it's terrible? What if I don't get along
with any of the other guards, or if the prince is an idiot, of if I can't do it?" Jeadite asked looking up
at her with fearful eyes.
Rei just smiled at rolled her eyes at him. "First off I am sure you will get along with everyone! How
could they not love you? And as for the prince being an idiot, you thought I was going to be a dork
too didn't you?"
He smiled remembering that. "Yeah but I was right. You turned out to be a total dork." He said
laughing.
"Shut up! I am trying to help you here." She said throwing a pillow at him. "And as for not being able
to do it, that is just a bunch of crap. You know you will be able to do whatever they ask you to so
stop worrying. You are already in, now you just got to sit back and enjoy the fame." She said
smiling.
Jeadite stared at her pretending to be shocked. "I don't think I have ever heard you say something
that made so much sense." He teased.
Rei glared at him. "You know I really hate you sometimes. You can be so incredibly annoying, and
yet I can never get mad at you!" She exclaimed.
He just shrugged. "It's a gift."
She nodded. "Yeah well I better let you finish packing. I am sure you have to a lot before you leave
tomorrow." Rei said walking over to the door.
"Hey Rei," Jeadite called out just before she left.
She turned around,"Yeah?"
"When I have to leave tomorrow, you, you'll be there right?" He asked with some hesitance in his
voice.
She looked over and noticed he wasn't joking and he really was worried she might not come the
next day. She rolled her eyes. "Of course I will silly! Like I would really let my best friend go off to
some strange planet for who knows how long without even seeing him off?" She asked.
He smiled happily. "Yeah I guess your right. Now get out of my room dorkus, I gotta finish
packing!"
She smiled at him "You are incredibly lucky you are leaving tomorrow cause otherwise you would
be dead for that!" She said as she left.
Jeadite sighed. He would rather be killed by her then have to leave her and not see her again until
who knows when. "Just don't forget me Rei. I will never forget you." He whispered softly then went
back to his packing.
Victoria, Katherine and Jeadite were all assembled in the transportation room along with a guard
who was to escort Jeadite on his journey to the Earth palace.
"Sir, I must request that we leave now." The guard repeated rather impatiently.
"I can't leave yet. Rei still isn't here!" He cried out anxiously.
"Are you sure she didn't forget?" Vicotira asked.
"No way!" He said stubbornly. "Rei said she will be here and I know she will."
"Jeadite, maybe she just forgot--"
"Rei!" Jeadite yelled interupting his mother as he noticed Rei come flying down the hall.
"I am really really sorry for keeping everyone." She said. "I kinda overslept and didn't realize how
late it was."
"I told you you sleep too much!" Jeadite teased.
She just smiled and handed him an envelope. "Read that later ok?" He nodded and tucked it away in
his backpack.
She leaned over and hugged him tightly brushing away the few tears that fell down her cheek.
"Goodbye Jed. I'm gonna miss you." Rei whispered.
He hugged her back and whispered. "I'm gonna miss you too. But don't worry we'll see ach other
again I promise. Good bye my princess. And remember we are best friends forever. That will never
change." he stepped away.
"Are you ready to go now?" The guard asked.
Jeadite nodded as he hoisted his backpack up and stepped on th platform. He waved to everyone
and as he teleported his words echoed for Rei to hear, "Bye Dorkus!"
'Goodbye.' She said silently. 'Hope to see you again soon.'
Jeadite appeared in what seemed to be an empty bedroom.
"This will be your room." The guard said. He looked around while putting down his bags. "There will
be a meeting fo the guards in," The guard checked his watch before continuing. "Five minutes in the
confrence room. I suggest you be there."
"Wait, where is the...confrence room." Jeadite sighed realizing the guard was gone. "I guess I better
start looking for the confrence room." He said as he walked out of the room and started looking
around.
Endymion glanced around the room seeing three othey young boys that looked about his age. He
took a deep breath and tried to calm down his nerves, and started the meeting. "Hi. I guess you guys
already know I am Prince Endymion, and I am assuming you are three of the four guards?" After
they all nodded he continued. "I know I sound like a dork up here, but I am not used to public
speaking so bare with me ok? I guess we should just start by everyone introducing themeselves so
we can see who is missing."
The one with shoulder length white hair went first. "I'm Kunzite."
"I'm Nephrite." The next one, with long brown hair said.
"And I'm Zoisite." The final one, long blonde hair, said quietly. Just as he finished the door opened.
The four boys looked up to see a young boy walk in.
"Jeadite I presume?" The Prince asked.
He nodded as he sat down. "Sorry. I just got here a few minutes ago and it took me while to find the
confrence room."
Endymion smiled at him. "Don't worry about it. We just all introduced ourselves. This is Kunzite,
Nephrite, and Zoisite." He said pointing to each one respectivly. "And I'm Prince Endymion."
Jeadite nodded looking around the room at everyone who seemed to be very silent.
"Nice to meet you all. I'm Jeadite." He said warmly.
"So where is everyone from?" Zoisite asked.
"Pluto, and yes it is extremly cold there." Nephrite said smiling. The others laughed.
"I'm from Saturn." Kunzite said.
Jeadite noted he was the first to stop laughing and become serious again. 'Kinda the silent type huh.'
He thought. "I'm from Mars." He said.
"Mars? That's weird. I didn't know any Martians had blond hair and light colored eyes." Nephrite
said.
"I'm orignally from the sun, but I moved to Mars about three years ago." Jeadite explained.
"So what about you Zoisite?" Endymion asked. "Where are you from?"
"Jupiter. And you may call me Zoi. All my friends, do, and I consider you all friends already." Zoisite
said smiling at all of the others.
Jeadite let out aa sigh of relief. "That is good to know. I was so afraid I wan't going to get along with
anyone!" He exclaimed.
"I know! I felt the same way." Nephrite agreed.
"Well I thought the prince was gonna be totally stuck up." Kunzite said. "But it's good to know he
isn't." He quickly added after seeing the look on Endymion's face.
"Trust me. Royalty isn't everything it's thought to be." He assured them.
"Do you really dislike it?" Zoi asked.
"Well there are some good parts, but mainly it's pretty bad. The only good thing is that I get to meet
you guys." Endymion said.
"You may not feel that way after a few days." Jeadite said laughing. "I can assure you I have very
annoying habbits. Especially if you are a late sleeper." He added thinking of all the times he had
woken Rei up early in the morning.
"I think we all do, but I just have a feeling that we are all going to be very good friends." Nephrite
said surveying the room. The others all looked at him. "What?" He asked shrugging his shoulders.
"I've seen it in the stars."
A Few Days Later:
Dear Jed,
You haven't even left yet, and I still miss you. It's gonna be weird witbout you being here, but at least
this means that I can finally sleep again! Since you are gone, I am going to sleep all day tomorrow
cause no one is going to bug me to get up! Well, since you weren't suppossed to read this until you
got there and met everyone, hopefully you can tell me a little bit about it. What is it like on Earth?
Anything like Mars or the Sun? And what about the other three(is it three?) guards and the prince? I
assume you met them so how are they? I miss you alot and I can't wait to here from you. Please
write back to me soon.
Love Always, Princess Rei
p.s. I have sent a picture for you to have so you don't forget what I look like. Oh, and I promise my
next letter will be longer!
Jeadite picked up the envelope as a picture fell out. Just as he picked it up there was a knock at his
door. "Come in." He called. The door opened and Nephrite walked in.
"Hey watcha doing?" He asked.
"Hey. Just reading a letter from a friend." Jeadite replied. Out of the other four boys, Jeadite had
become closest with the prince and Nephrite. The other two seemed to keep to themselves.
Nephrite looked down at the picture of Rei that Jeadite was holding. "So is that your girlfriend?" He
asked.
Jeadite could hardly contain his laughter. "No way! That's my best friend, also known as the princess
of Mars." He said.
Nephrite looked at him eyebrows raised, "You're best friend is the princess of Mars? I always heard
she was incredibly strange. That she could do weird things with fire or something."
"Yes, she is my best friend and there is nothing weird about her." He said defnesivly.
Nephrite held up his hands in apology. "Sorry I didn't mean to make fun of her or anything." He said.
Jeadite sighed. "Neph, didn't anyone ever tell you the story of Serenity and her court?" He asked.
"Uh, no."
"OK I am going to explain to you why Rei, Princess Mars, can control fire." Jeadite said. "You
know how Prince Endymion has the four guards, Serenity has the same thing. The only difference is
that her guards are the princess's of Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. Each princess is born with
a special elemental power that they can contorl, and can later be used to protect the princess. Rei
controls fire. But you can not tell anyone that!" He exclaimed.
"You know I coulda figured that out anyone by just reading the stars." Nephrite boasted.
Jeadite laughed. "What is this thing with you and star reading?" He asked.
"I can read the stars." He asnwered.
"Well I figured out that part. But what exactly do you do? And what do they tell you?" Jeadite
asked.
"Sorry Jade it's too complicated for a simple minded person like you to understand." Neph said
laughing, right before the pillow came flying towards his face.
"So did you come in here for a purpose, or just to insult me?" He asked.
"Well as much fun it is to insult you, we are suppossed to be at a training session, uh, right now." He
said frowning.
"Oh man! Kunzite is going to kill us." Jade mumbled as the two ran towards the practice room.
"You two are late." Kunzite said as soon as they walked in.
"Yeah sorry. Jade was telling me about his girlfriend." Neph said.
"I am going to kill you for that." He muttered.
Endymion came walking in, also late, hearing the last part of the others' conversation. "You do
realize you are late also right?" Kunzite asked.
"Yeah sorry. But who is Jade's girlfriend?" He asked. Kunz threw his hands in the air in
exasperation.
"I do not have a girlfriend!" Jade protested.
But Nephrite was having to much fun and proceeded to tease Jade about her. "Princess Rei of
Mars." Endymion started to laugh.
"There...is...nothing...strange...about...her." Jade exclaimed trying to stay calm.
"I don't even know what are you talking about that she would be strange. But I can't even imagene
you being friends with her. She is not suppossed to be...a...um...nice person." Endymion tried to
explain.
"For the last time she is not my girlfriend! And she is not mean or nasty or anything like that" He
exclaimed. The others all just looked at him doubtfully. "Here maybe these reasons will help
convinve you. First of all she is ten years old, second of all she is my best friend, and third of all she
is a princess and her mom hates me! Is that enough reasons?" Jade asked.
"Wait, why does her mom hate you?" Zoisite asked.
"I kinda accidently found out that Rei is one of Serenity's guardians, that is why she does that weird
fire thing, and the Queen doesn't want Rei to find out until it is time for her to leave for her training. I
totally disagreed with that and kinda got into a few arguments with her over it." He explained.
"What is this weird fire thing you guys keep talking about?" Endymion asked. The others all stared at
him.
"You don't know?" Kunzite asked in amazement.
"No!" The Prince cried. "Would someone please explain it?"
They all turned to look at Jeadite who sighed. "She can shoot fire out from her hands."
"Is that all?" Endymion asked.
"Endy, what are you talking about?" Nephrite asked.
"Yeah that really isn't normal you know." Zoisite said.
"Well Jade said she was one of Serenity's guardians, and all of her guardians do stuff like thgat, so it
explains it. Besides you guys are going to be able to do that stuff to." The others all stared at hin.
"Oh I kinda forgot to tell you about that." He said sheepishly. "Jeadite I think controls fire, Nephrite
does something with the stars or storms, something like that. Zoisite can control water, and Kunzite
just controls energy or something like that. That's why you eight or the only people that can do this
job."
After a moment of silence Kunzite spoke up. "So when do we get these powers?"
The prince shrugged. "I'm not really sure. All I know is that you guys were somehow born with
them. I guess you get them when your training is complete."
"That is so cool!" Jade exclaimed.
"Yeah now you and your girlfriend will both be able to make fire appear." Endymion teased.
He saighed in defeat. "Would you guys give up on that? She is not my girlfriend!" He exclaimed.
"Oh yeah, then how come she signed her letter 'love'?" Nehprite asked. The others turned to look at
Jeadite expectantly.
Jeadite glared at him. 'You read my letter?" He asked.
Neph smiled, "Only that part."
Jade groaned. "I thought we were supposed to be practicing?" He asked.
"Jade's right you guys. You can make fun of him later but right now we have to train." Kunzite said
speaking up. Jade shot him a grateful look as the practice started.
