Ohayoo, or Kon'nichiwa, or Konbanwa, (Good morning, afternoon, and evening in Japanese.)
depending on when you are reading this. Anyway, here is part four, sorry it took so long to come
out but it is kinda long, (Well at least for a chapter to one of my stories) it's about eleven pages so.
Anyway, here we go. Sailor Moon does not belong to me, neither do the characters. The characters
of Katherine and Queen Victoria do belong to me, as does this story and the title. Do not take! Post
newhere, just link back to the e-mail, pekkle9983@aol.com What else? This is a silver millenium
fanfic, oh and this entire part is in letter forms. Letters from Rei to Jed, from Jed to Rei, and a few
other surprise letters are in here. It is a good chapter though, and please forgive me if the letters
sound a little repetitive. Try writing 19 very long letters and keep them from being repetitive in any
way. Kinda hard to do. Anyway, next chapter the scouts appear! I promise! Last chapter with Rei
being the only scout. Anyway, on with the story.

As the Tears Fell~Chapter 4

By MCRK

*************************

Dear Rei,

Hey Dorkus! Sorry it took me so long to reply to your letter but things are pretty busy over
here. How are things on Mars? You are taking care of my mom for me I hope. Tell her I said
hello and I'll write soon. I knew you would get mad at me if I took any longer to write this and
tell you all about it here. Earth is such an amazing planet. I wish you could be here, cause you
would love it. It's the perfect mixture of the Sun and Mars, both my old homes mixed into my
new one. It's warm during the day, cool at night. It's perfect! There are gorgeous flowers
everywhere and the entire planet is incredibly green and full of life. But I know you want to
know more about the people then the planet right? Well so far everyone here is very nice. I
am getting along pretty well with the Prince and the other guards. They are nicer then I
expected, but also a little weirder. I'll start with Nephrite. So far I am closest to him and the
Prince. Nephrite is very strange, but in a good kind of way. He does this weird thing where he
can read the stars, and see the future. At least that is what he says, no one is to sure cause we
can't see anything. I personally believe it isn't true, but you never can tell. Before I met you, I
didn't think people could control fire either, but you proved me wrong on that so we'll see.
The next guard would be Zoisite. He is nice too, but he is very quiet. He likes to keep to
himself a lot, always reading some kind of science book or doing some sort of equations. He
actually enjoys school and homework. A little strange in my opinion, but he is nice so it
doesn't bother me that much. The last guard is kinda the leader of the rest of us. That would
be Kunzite. The weirdest thing about him would have to be his hair. He has long, down to his
shoulders, white hair. I don't think I have ever seen a twelve year old with natural white hair,
which he assures me that it is, (natural not fake). He also keeps to himself a lot. He hangs out
with Zoisite more then the others too. He is very serious and dedicated to his job. I can tell
that he is going to be a good guard and is determined to make the rest of us just as good. The
last person, who I know you want to hear about, is Prince Endymion. Well remember how I
thought he was going to be an idiot? This time I was wrong. (With you I was right. You turned
out to be a total dork.) The Prince however is actually a lot of fun. He kinda hates being
royalty cause he always has to act proper. When no one else is around the two of us are
usually playing practical jokes on the others. I am sure that one of these days we will get
caught, but until then, it is lots of fun. I miss you though, and my mom, and if the two of you
were here, everything would be perfect. I hope to hear from you soon.

Love Always,

Jeadite

P.S. thanks for the picture. I am sending one back.

Dear Jed,

It's good to hear that things are going so well for you over on Earth. I miss you terribly and it
would make it worse if I knew you were having a terrible time. Your mom is doing fine, she
misses you too and she sends her love. As much as I do miss you, I can't tell you how nice it is
to be able to sleep in the morning! I don't have to worry about being tickled awake, or getting
icy cold water dumped over my head. (I know you never did that but I was always afraid you
were going to do that next!) Earth sounds like a wonderful place to live! I wish I could visit,
but even more so I would like to visit the moon. It's supposed to be the most beautiful place in
the Universe! Do you have a good view of it from over there? I can see it slightly from Mars,
but only on some nights. Most of the time I can see Earth though. It is nice being able to see it
so I know where you are. The rest of the guards and the prince sound very nice. I am sure the
five of you will be good friends for a long time. Well, I guess you have to, your job protecting
the prince will last all your lives won't it? It's no surprise that you get along with the prince
though, you two sound exactedly alike. You're always joking around, annoying every one else,
and yet it's impossible to get mad at you. I assume Prince Endymion is the same way. You said
you don't talk as much with Zoisite and Kunzite right? That's kinda understandable. My mom
would love the two of them. She is always making me study, trying to make sure I do good in
school. And she is always showing me some new thing that I have to learn in order to be a
proper princess. Endymion is right, being royalty can majorly suck at times. Sometimes I feel
like my entire life centers around teas, and wearing dresses, and learning to speak and walk
properly, and all that other princess stuff. I'm still ten years old, and yet I never get time to
just go outside and play. It was always different when you were there. You could usually
convince my mom to let me skip out on studies or something. Now though, it's training all the
time. The only training I want to do, is learn to fight. I mean, if I get attacked, what am I
supposed to do just scream? That would suck, so I need to be able to protect myself, but I
don't think that is going to happen. I better go my mom is calling me for dinner and if I'm late
she gonna get mad. Please write back soon.

Love Always,

Rei

Dear Rei,

I can't understand why Zoi,(Zoisite) likes school so much. We just started over here and it's
terrible. Our day starts out with practice, then school, then practice, then homework, free
time, then we are supposed to go to sleep. It's a good thing I got used to getting such little
sleep, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to take it. Like right now, I am supposed to be
sleeping, but I would rather be writing to you anyway. I mean the only point of sleeping is so I
can get up tomorrow to go to school and see my witch of a teacher. She is such a bad teacher,
I don't know what possessed her to become one in the first place. She hates most of us, well
'cept for Zoisite and Kunzite, (it is just the five of us in the class) but that is only cause they
suck up! Ok truthfully she only hates us because we are always fooling around, but we can't
help it! The classes are incredibly boring. I know how much you hate having to be tutored and
would much rather go to a regular school, but trust me you are so lucky. I know I don't really
go to a regular school because there is only four other kids in my class, but still it is in a
school building and there are other classes there that go on all day and everything like a
normal school. But still, if we had individual tutors, then if they were nasty, we could just fire
them. (Do you get to do that if you don't like your teachers?) That would be nice. Just choose
who I wanted. I do understand though why you hate it. It must get kinda lonely. I think you
should try and talk your mom into letting you go to a normal school. Then you could just be
tutored on being a princess, or whatever it is you need to learn to do that. She might agree to
it, you never know. Besides it's not like your five years old anymore, I don't think anyone will
bother you about your fire thing. And if they do let me know, I will come back and beat them
up for you ok? All right well that is enough about school. I spend too much time on school
every day I need to change the topic. Everything else over here is going pretty good. Training
is hard, and we do it often. A lot of times it is incredibly hard and I always thing I can't do it,
and then I remember how you told me I can do whatever they ask me to. I know this sounds
corny so please don't repeat it to anyone? But it's nice to know you still believe in me, even if
no one else does, I know you will. You are my best friend in the entire universe and I just
wanted you to know that. I miss you a lot and I hope I can see you soon. Oh! I almost forgot.
Don't worry about your training to be a princess. I know it's get depressing and you don't like
it, but when it's all over you can do whatever you want whenever you want, cause then you'll
be Queen. I know that it's hard, and I know your mom is a pain(Sorry but she is) but try and
hang in there ok? If for nothing else then do it for me ok? I believe in you and I know you can
do this. I will always be there for you, and I will always be on your side.

Love always,

Jeadite

Dear Jed,

(Do you mind if I still call you that?) I am really sorry it took me so long to write back to your
last letter. Yes if I don't like my tutors I do have the power to fire them and get a different
one. But that changed, because my mom decided to let me go to a regular school!!!! No more
tutors!!!!! Isn't that wonderful? I finally get to go to school like everyone else. I took your
advice, and talked to my mom, and amazingly, it worked. I am so grateful to you I can't thank
you enough. Now I finally understand what you are talking about when you say how terrible
school is. It is kinda bad, but I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be with everyone else. They
all see me as a normal kid now and no one bothers me. And, now that I am in school for most
of the day, my mom has lessened up on how much I have to learn, royalty stuff wise.
Everything is working out perfectly now, thank you so much. My teacher is pretty nice, but
maybe that's cause I am the Princess, but either way she is still nice. I feel terrible for your
teacher! Having just the five of you in class must drive her insane. Well at least she has
Zoisite and Kunzite to pay attention. I take it you other three usually have no idea what is
going on? Poor teacher! I hope you are being nice to her though and not playing any of your
tricks on her. Putting up with you during class must be bad enough. The least you could do is
attempt to b nice to her, I mean how bad could she really be? I need to go now cause I gotta
go do homework and stuff. I miss you lots and hope to hear from you soon.

Love Always,

Rei

Dear Rei,

I am sending you another letter along with this one, to respond to things you wrote about in
your last letter. But this letter, is being written for a very important reason. Happy Birthday! I
know that when you read this it won't exactly be your birthday, but I still have to wish you a
happy birthday. You are now eleven, so how do you like it? Not much different from being ten
I bet right? Now you are starting to catch up to me! By the way, I have a gift for you, and I
will give it to you next time I see you. I would mail it to you, but I want to give it to you in
person> And even if I don't get to see you until after your next birthday, I will hold on to it,
along with next years. I wanted more then anything to come visit for your birthday, but
unfortunately I couldn't get away. I'm sorry. I really wanted to see you again, seeing as it's
been a year already, and I have only been able to talk to you through letters. Tell everyone I
said hello and I miss them. I miss you the most, but they don't have to know that! Happy
Birthday!

Love Always,

Jeadite

Dear Rei,

Here is my second letter, as promised. (By the way if this is the first letter you took out of the
envelope, stop reading this, and read the other one first ok?) Anyway, I am so happy for you!
I can't believe you are finally going to a regular school. I am really glad that you decided to
talk to your mom. I think that was a wise choice, and look it worked right? I bet that after a
few months though you will be begging to go back to being tutored. School is not all that
great as I am sure you can tell from my letters. I hate to make this so short, but I really got to
go. I have training in a few minutes and it would help if I was on time. I have been here for
almost a year already, so you think they would loosen up on being on time. But instead they
have gotten stricter. Actually it's just Kunzite. Endymion doesn't mind that much if we are a
few minutes late, seeing as he is usually the last one there anyway! Oh, and of course you can
still call me Jed. Truthfully, I won't let anyone else call me that because you call me it. It
makes me think of Mars too much, so everyone else calls me Jade or Jeadite. You can
continue with whatever one you want. Well I do have to go, but I miss you lots, and I promise
I will write again soon.

Love Always,

Jeadite

Dear Jeadite,

Thanks for the birthday letter. It was nice of you to send, seeing as you don't have that much
time on your hands anymore, but I do appreciate the letters you send, regardless of how long
they are. About getting me a present, please don't! You would not believe what I am going
through over here all because I get one year older. My mom is throwing this huge party and
inviting all these people that I have never met. The worst part is I have to attend the party,
talk to everyone and pretend to be interested. The only way it would be interesting is if you
were there. (Which I know can't happen. Don't feel guilty, I understand) But she is making
such a big thing about it, you would think I am never going to have another birthday. I'm
sorry. I keep bothering you with all my problems, when I am sure you have plenty of your
own. I doubt you need to hear me complaining about being a princess and everything.
Anyway, on to another happier subject, ........HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Did you think I would
forget? Course not, you don't forget your best friend's birthday. I am sending a card
separately. but I'm not sure when that will get there and I didn't want you to think I forgot.
You are getting old, thirteen! Well, since you had the psychotic idea to get me a gift, and hold
onto it until I see you again, I will do the same for you ok? Let's make a pact, that no matter
how long it takes we will continue to write, and talk to each other, even though I know it is
entirely possible that we may never see each other again. I gotta sign off here, mother is
calling me again! (I think I have to go learn how to balance a book on my head or something.
I mean, who really cares anyway?) So I will write later k? Miss you.

Love Always,

Rei

Dear Rei,

Are you ok? Is anything bothering you, cause you sound weird. I mean since when has it
bothered me if you complain about stuff? That's why I'm here. For you to tell me what
bugging you and stuff. It was kinda weird to read your letter and hear you sound so
depressing. You are usually waaaay more perky then that. At least when I talk to you. And
where did you suddenly come up with the idea that we are never going to see each other
again?! Of course we are. Even though my job is a life time thing, we are allowed to leave the
planet to visit friends and family. I just haven't yet because I am still in training and it doesn't
help to miss sessions. But did you really expect the prince to not allow us to ever see our
family again? Don't worry, I promised you that we would meet again and I always keep my
promises, especially ones to you. So please, just tell me if something is bothering you ok? You
usually don't feel weird about telling me about that kinda stuff. Anyway, about your birthday,
don't worry about it. I know how tough and annoying it must be for you to have to go
through that, but just hang in there. How long could it possibly last, I mean your birthday is
only one day you know? I know that my letters keep getting shorter and shorter and I am
really sorry it's just I don't have as much time as I used to . More letters to come soon, I
promise. Miss you tons.

Love Always,

Jeadite

Dear Jed,

I know I have been acting strange, sorry about that. And since you are really the only person I
can talk to, especially about stuff like this, so I will explain. I am getting really really worried
that something is wrong, and I think it has to do with me. It's the weirdest thing. Like first,
there was the thing where my mom threw me that huge birthday party, almost like I won't be
here next year to have one. And you know my mom, she hates having those parties. I mean in
the three years you lived with us did my mom ever throw me a huge birthday inviting
hundreds of people? And lately she has been acting all distant towards me. Every time we
talk, she gets all emotional and starts to cry. Then there is the problem with always hearing
my name. I'll be walking down the hall, and about to go into a room where my mom and
someone else will be. And I'll hear them talking, and I'll hear my name. But then as soon as I
go in the room, the conversation automatically stops, and everyone gives me these fake
smiles like nothing is wrong. I don't know what to do anymore! I am starting to get scared
because I know that whatever it is, it has something to do with me. I have tried talking to my
mom, and asking her if something is wrong and everything, but she just assures me that
everything is fine and that I am worrying myself over absolutely nothing. But if it is nothing,
why is it that no one will tell me what is going on? And why does everyone stop talking when
I walk in the room? Jed, I am really really scared, and I don't know what to do anymore. I am
afraid that something terrible is going to happen. Please tell me what you think on this.

Love Always,

Rei

P.S. It's times like these that I really miss you.

Dear Rei,

Thank you for telling me what was wrong. It's terrible that you have been carrying that
around, without telling anyone! I really am shocked at what is happening to you. I am not
even sure of what to tell you. You are right though, your mom does hate parties, and she
wouldn't throw such a big one if something wasn't wrong. But I'm not trying to scare you. I
mean for all you know everyone at the palace is planning some big surprise for you. (trust me,
if they are, I am not in on it so I can't guarantee that. Sorry) Please don't immediately think
the worst. I know it's hard to think anything other then the worst, but if you don't try, you are
going to worry yourself sick, and I don't think that will help all that much either. I wish I
could be there right now to help you through all this. Plus, I would probably be able to figure
out what is going on by bugging your mom. She usually gives in after I do that for a while.
How is everything else going though? Hopefully that is the only thing wrong right? If this
really starts to bother you, or something else does too, try to get your mind off it ok? Just try
and pick up a new hobby, or read more often, do whatever it takes, but just try and keep your
mind off it. If it was something incredibly serious, like if you were dying(j/k), don't you think
someone would let you know? I'm sure it is just some surprise or something. So please try not
to worry? And please, if this continues, or gets worse, let me know. I may not be able to be
there to comfort you in person but I can still write letters, regardless of how busy I am. I can
always make time for you.

Love Always,

Jeadite

P.S. At times like these I miss you a lot too. :)

Dear Queen Victoria,

Before I go into how angry I am, I might want to let you know that this is Jeadite, Rei's friend,
writing to you on behalf of Rei. By the way she doesn't know about this and I doubt you would
want to tell her, especially because of the topic of this letter.

I can not believe that you would put your daughter through such torture! And that is what it
is, torture, whether you want to admit it or not. I know that you don't want Rei to know about
her being a guardian, until it is time for her to leave next year. And as much as I disagree
with that, I'm not even going to say much about it. I realize your decision, and although I do
hate it, I also understand. What I don't understand is why you are doing this to Rei? She
knows that something is wrong. Apparently you aren't as subtle as you think, because not
only has she figured out that something is wrong, and that it has to do with her, she is scared
to death because of it. She wrote me a letter, and if she was talking to me in person she would
have been sobbing, about how scared she is and she doesn't know what to do. She hears her
name in a conversation, walks into the room, and all talking stops. You burst into tears every
time she tries to talk to you. And the worst one, you are throwing her a huge party for her
birthday! I mean, come on your majesty, she is not stupid. First of all, we all know how much
you hate big parties, so why throw one for her now, for her eleventh birthday? It isn't and
important age, and you wouldn't be doing it unless something was wrong. Second of all, you
rarely ever cry, especially not just from talking to Rei. And if you are going to talk about her,
do it when she is asleep, and do a better job of hiding it. you can't continue to do this for the
rest of the year until she leaves. I understand you are going to miss her, and you are upset
and trying to do everything with her, but you need to be more subtle! Let's face it, you were
never the kind of mom who did everything with her daughter. I am not saying you were a bad
mom, but you can't change that now. You are confusing Rei and that scares her and it's cruel
to do. Please, either tell her the truth, or completely drop it. Don't act like there is nothing
wrong.

Sincerely,

Jeadite

Dear Jeadite,

You know, I never realized how much you cared about my daughter until I received your
letter. I still feel the same way, that Rei shouldn't be told yet, and wile I still think that, I am
finally understanding your reason. Your letter opened my mind to a lot of things. You were
completely right when you said that I was never the kind of mother who spends every moment
with their child, and knows everything about them. As ashamed as I am to admit it, I really
don't know much about Rei. And I realize, that maybe she should have been told when she
was younger, but I was and still am so afraid to lose her. She is my only child, and the only
real family I have. After my husband died six years ago, (I assume Rei told you about that.)
she is the only one I have. And even though I have to, I don't want o give her up. Which is
why I have been doing what I have. I realize that I have offended you because I have been
scaring Rei, and I apologize for that. As odd as it may sound, I really didn't notice that it was
bothering her. She never lets on about things like that, so I just assume she doesn't notice. I
do feel terrible though for doing that to her and I want to thank you for letting me know that
she felt that way. At times I feel you are closer to Rei then I am, and I often need others to let
me know how she feels. While I can promise you that I will make things go back to normal, I
can't promise I am going to tell Rei. I know I should, but I don' want to lose her. All I have is
one year left with her, and then she will be gone forever. And if you ask me, I always found
that kind of unfair. Rei, and the other three girls are princesses too, so why is it that they are
destined to risk their lives, simply to protect another princess? It just never made much sense
o me, they deserve to be protected to right? Anyway, thank you again for showing concern
for my daughter, I know I never liked you very much, but Rei is lucky to have you as a best
friend.

Sincerely,

Queen Victoria

Dear Queen Victoria,

I just wanted to thank you for the kind response you sent to my letter. I understand the way
you feel a lot more now, and I thank you for explaining it to me. I can see how hard it is to let
you daughter go like that and I am sorry I was never more understanding. Oh and don't
worry about protecting Rei. I may be sworn to protect the Prince, but I have always sworn to
myself that I would protect Rei from harm, or die trying.

Sincerely,

Jeadite

P.S. Thank you for your comment about Rei being lucky to have me as a friend. That meant a
lot to me.

Dear Jed,

I am sooooo sorry that I have not written in a few months. it's just been kinda crazy (And
kinda scary) with all this stuff that has been going on with my mom. I mean every time I
turned around I was either helping decide things about the party, hearing my name whispered
amongst everyone, or having an emotional talk with my mom where she would always end up
crying, but never telling me anything. Well, I am glad to say that the insanity is finally over. I
decided to try and talk to my mom one more time, and it worked! She apologized for
upsetting me and getting me nervous, but she explained that nothing was wrong in the first
place. She wasn't even sure why she had been acting like she was but she guessed it was some
sort of mid life crisis thing, (whatever that is). She had suddenly felt the urge to throw a huge
party, and seeing as my birthday was the nearest occasion, I became victim to the insanity.
Truthfully though, the party wasn't all that bad. I mean I didn't really have fun (I never want
to do that again!) but other then your absence, everything else was pretty ok. It was the
preparing that made me insane. Everyone was trying to keep me busy, and make sure that I
liked it so they would ask me the same questions a million times over, I think they were afraid
of getting fired. Do I really appear mean and stuff? I wouldn't fire them cause I didn't like the
party; I was planning on hating anyway. And the other thing that was really bothering me,
how I would hear my name being whispered, I discovered what that was about to. Well, it
turns out you were right, my mom has been planning a surprise. My mom has invited my
grandparents, (Her parents) who live on Mercury, to come and visit! They moved from mars
about a year before I was born, so if I have ever met them, I don't have any remembrance of
it. SO you can see why I am so excited. I think they are coming next week, and I will be sure
to let you know what happens k?

I know that our past few letters have been centered completely on me and my problems and I
wanted to thank you for talking about it with me. It really did help. And I am sure there are
things you want to tell me? (I hope) seeing as you have been gone for a year now, can you
believe that?, I want to know who everything is going! I hope your training is going well.
Once you get through all that I know you are going to make a wonderful guard. Miss you,
write soon.

Love Always,

Rei

P.S. Thanks for all your help and support through that stuff with my mom. There was no way
I could have gotten through it without you.

Dear Rei,

See! I told you everything would work out fine, and it did right? See you should listen to my
advice more often...ok on second thought, maybe you are better off not listening to my
advice, it doesn't always make too much sense. Anyway, I am really happy for you though
that everything is back to normal. See no more huge birthday party you have to go to.
Course, I would have come if possible. Even though you said it was kinda boring, I think it
would have been fun. And not cause I would cause trouble, it would just be fun. It's really
cool that your grandparents are coming to visit! I can just imagine how excited you are. You
better make sure though that you learn to get up earlier, old people tend to be up earlier in
the morning. This is going to sound really really strange, but I need your advice on something.
And before you start getting mad at me, its the topic I need advice on that is strange, not the
fact that I am asking you for advice ok? All right, this is really strange, but I need advice on
girls. Seeing as you are on, I figured you must know something about that right? See there is
this girl, Sarah, who I kinda have a crush on. But see the problem is that I have no idea what
to do about it! I'd ask her out except I have no idea if she even knows who I am, and I really
don't fee; like being humiliated. And even if she said yes, where am I supposed to take her?
What are we gonna talk about? What if she hates me? I can't believe I am asking you this
cause I am sure you are laughing at me right now, but I need help, so please? Miss you tons,
and am in dire need of your advice. Write back soon ok?

Love Always,

Jeadite

Dear Jed,

Even though you are on a totally different planet, you still find ways to tease me don't you?
Well whatever. So you need advice on girls huh? This is actually pretty funny and yes I was
laughing when I read your letter. You are so psychotic it's a little scary! You are waaaay to
hyped up over this. First of all, if she doesn't know who you are, then the first thing you need
to do is introduce yourself to her! Try and get over your raging hormones here for a minute
and try and use a little common sense k? However it is you know her, school or whatever,
just say hi next time you see her. If she says hi back, and smiles, introduce yourself. If she
continues the conversation with enthusiasm, then she likes you, and you should ask her out.
As on where to go, go to the movies or something. And just ask questions about her, and find
something common. That will give you something to talk about. And don't worry over this. I
am sure she will like you, Just cause you are incredibly annoying and psychotic doesn't give
her any reason not to and I am sure I am helping a lot aren't I? So follow my advice and see
how it goes ok? Write me back about this! Miss you.

Love Always,

Rei

P.S. Don't ask how I know all this, it's just a natural thing, and I hope it helps.

Dear Rei,

This is so amazing. Do you realize that I have been gone for two years already? That means
that it's your birthday already again! Happy Birthday! I am cutting this letter short, cause I
just wanted to wish you a happy birthday separately, but I have so much incredible new to tell
you. Miss you tons, can't wait to see you, happy birthday!

Love Always,

Jeadite

P.S. I have a gift for you.

Dear Rei,

Ok second letter. First of all, I took your advice, and it worked! So I am now going out with
this girl I know Sarah, and I can't tell you how grateful I am for your help. I'll be sure to
remember you in the future whenever I need advice. The other incredible thing that
happened, is this. As I mentioned before, I have been training on Earth for two years already,
which means that the main part of my training is over! I am now officially one of Endymion's
guards! Not only that, but apparently all my hard work has paid off, we had this test kinda
thing, for placement. Kunzite is first guard, (Obviously) which means he is the leader of the
rest of us. Then shockingly, I placed as second place guard! Can you believe it?! This has been
the best week of my life. Then there is Nephlite placing third, and Zoisite placing fourth. The
only bad thing about all this is that you aren't here. Miss you lots and hope to see you soon.

Love Always,

Jeadite

Dear Jed,

Congrats! That is wonderful news, I am so proud of you, especially for placing second. I know
you worked hard, and you deserve it. I am sure you will do a wonderful job. But, as happy as
I am for you, my entire life has just been flipped upside. My mom just informed me, about two
days after my birthday, that I am a guard for Princess Serenity of the Moon!!! I am sure you
know the story, seeing as you are Endymion's guards, but the way she explained it was that
there is a princess from each planet, all of whom have special powers. Mercury can control
water, Venus controls love and energy, Jupiter controls lightning, and as you already know, I
control fire. So I finally discovered why I am so different and abnormal. Why I can make fire
appear from my hands. My entire childhood (other then having you there) was hell because of
the damn fire that I have. And all of this is so I can protect a princess?! Come on what kind of
sense does that make. This Moon Princess' protectors are all princesses themselves aren't
they? So what is so important about her that makes us have to abandon our lives, our homes
and our families, just to make sure she doesn't get killed? Maybe it's just me but it sounds
unfair, and doesn't make too much sense. I would ask my mom more about it but I am not
talking to her ever again. I have been able to control fire since I was four years old, and she
waited until I was twelve to tell me! I endured teasing, mocking, loneliness, and people being
afraid of me. And all the while I had absolutely no idea why I was different. My entire life I
have lived differently, and not even because I am the princess of mars. Because my mom
wouldn't explain to her daughter why she could do things with fire. You were the only friend I
ever had due to this stupid thing. I realize that knowing why I had this power wouldn't have
stopped it from happening, but it sure would have changed the way I looked at myself. Well,
it's changing my life once again, I'm packing to leave for the moon in about a week. I have
my training to begin now. Well at least I will get to visit the Moon like I have always wanted.
The only good things that I can find in this entire thing, is that my mom told me in a few
years, after Serenity's guards' training is complete, the Prince and his guards(you) come to
the moon to meet the Princess and her guards(me) so I will be able to see you again. That,
and the fact that at least I won't be the odd one anymore. At least the others will be able to do
the same things I will.

Write back soon. Miss you lots.

Love Always,

Rei

So what did everyone think of chapter 4? Please let me know! Your comments are so helpful and I
will respond to them all. Send comments, flames, or suggestions to Pekkle9983@aol.com. The next
part may not be out for a while, I only have like three paragraphs written. Slight writers block. (Not
sure what I want to happen.) But I will try to get it out within a month from now at the absolute
latest, so please look for it. The next part, as I said before, the other scouts will finally appear in. As
it says in Rei's last letter to Jed, she finally discovers she is a scout, so the next part will be her going
to the moon, meeting everyone and starting her training. Not sure what else, cause I realy don't
know what I want to happen yet. They will probably be the normal age, (Scouts=17 Generals=19)
in part six. Part six through the end will probably be the best. That will be when everyone meets and
falls in love and all that. Anyway, send commetns. Bai.
