************************* As the Tears Fell~Chapter 6 By MCRK
**************************
"Minna, I just heard the best new!" The four girls looked up as Serin ran into the sitting room her
face flushed with excitement.
"So what's the news?" Makoto asked.
"I just heard from my mom, that in two weeks, Prince Endymion and his court are coming to the
moon to visit!" She exclaimed excitedly. Everything was quiet for another moment when all five of
them screamed and started talking all at once.
"Are you serious?" Rei asked.
"I heard they are all really hot." Makoto said dreamily.
"I wonder how intelligent the people from Earth are?" Ami asked thoughtfully.
"This is so wicked cool!" Minako exclaimed.
"Would you guys shut up so I can tell you the rest?" Serin yelled. They stopped talking instantly. She
smiled. "That's better. Now they are coming in two weeks, for um something, kinda forgot that part.
Anyway, while they are here, we are supposed to be like their tour guides or something. And they
are staying for two months or so."
"Is the Earth princess coming along also?" Ami asked.
"Ami who cares about her, we get to be tour guides for five really hot guys!" Minako exclaimed.
The others all rolled their eyes. "No I think the Princess Terra is staying on Earth." Serin said,
answering Ami's question.
Rei's eyes widened as she realized who the guards were. "Serin, you said all four guards and the
prince are coming right?" She asked smiling.
Serin looked over at her cousin, and realizing what she was thinking, smiled back. "Yes, meaning
that he will be there."
The others looked back and forth between the two, trying to figure out what was going on. The two
girls had grown so incredibly close over the years, they seemed to have developed some sort of
telepathic link, and with Rei's spiritual expertise, it was quite possibly true. The link was actually
helpful, and allowed them to know when the other was in trouble. It usually drove the others crazy
though.
"Who is going to be there?" Makoto asked impatiently.
"Jed!" Rei exclaimed happily.
"Oh so we finally get to see your boyfriend huh?" Minako asked.
"He isn't my boyfriend." She said rolling her eyes.
"It's nice that you get to see someone you haven't seen in a long time." Ami said.
"A long time? I haven't seen him in seven years!" Rei exclaimed.
"And he could be totally hot, and then the two of you could fall for each other and would get married
and everyone would all be happy." Serin said.
"Yeah sure. The chances of that happening are like the chances of Ami being interested in guys. No
offense Ames of course." Rei said.
She smiled. "None taken."
"How long are they staying for again?" Makoto asked.
"I think my mom said for about two months." Serin responded.
"Well as excited as I am, and as much as I would love to keep talking about this, I have some stuff
to do. I'll talk to you guys later." Makoto said as she left.
"Same here. Jaa mata." Minako said as she walked away.
"I am falling behind in my studies, I need to go catch up." Ami said hurrying away.
"I suppose you are going to desert me also?" Serin asked Rei.
"Course not. I'm not about to desert my best friend when there are hot guys to discuss!" She said
laughing.
"You know, I still think that it would be perfect if you and Jed fell for each other. You would have
been best friends for years, then separated, your only contact through letters. Then when you meet
again years later, you realize how perfect you are for each other and you fall in love and you live
together happily ever after." Serin said getting all starry eyed.
Rei burst into laughter. "You are to romantic for your own good! That is never going to happen. We
are best friends, nothing more."
"Yeah sure." She said. "Just wait and see."
"Well you know Serin, the prince is supposed to be pretty hot too." Rei said nudging her knowingly.
She blushed. "Shut up Rei!"
Rei shrugged. "I just think it would work out perfectly. The Princess of the Moon and the Prince of
Earth, it's like fated for the two of you to fall in love. Now that would be a perfect match. It would
unite the kingdoms, and well it just works out perfectly."
"You sound like my mom." Serin groaned.
"Is she forcing you into a marriage?" Rei asked in surprise.
"Not exactly. But I know she wants me to fall for Prince Endon, or whatever his name is."
"Endymion." Rei corrected gently. "And don't hate him until you meet him."
"Isn't that what you did when you had to meet Jed?" Serin teased.
"Hey I was like 5 years old! But he did end up being my best friend." She pointed out.
"I thought I was your best friend?"
"OK, he is my best friend that is a guy how's that?" Rei asked.
"That's because he is your only guy friend who you haven't dated." Serin said laughing.
"So. There's nothing wrong with that." She said her eyes twinkling with laughter. "But I'm serious
about not hating the Prince yet. For all you know he could be perfect, the man of your dreams."
"And if Endymion can be so perfect for me, how come Jed can't be perfect for you?" Serin asked
slyly.
"Well...because...he's just not. It doesn't work. He is a civilian from the sun, I'm a Martian Princess.
Besides we're best friends."
"You never know. Sometimes the perfect person is the one you least expect."
******************
As soon as Endymion walked into the room Jade immediately started asking questions. "Is it true?
Are we really going to the moon? And are we finally meeting the Princess and her court? And are--"
"Jade, slow down. Who told you all that anyway?" Endymion asked.
Jade smiled. "Terra."
Endy groaned. "I told my parents they shouldn't have told her yet."
"So it's true?"
"Yes it s true. We are going to the moon to meet the princess and her court. But what are you so
excited about?"
Jade just smiled happily thinking of someone.
Endymion slapped himself on the head. "Oh right you get to see your girlfriend again, I forgot."
Jade rolled his eyes. "Don't you guys ever get sick of that? It is kinda old. You have been bothering
me about it for the better part of the past seven years, do you really still believe she is my girlfriend?"
"No. But it is still fun to make fun of you. Come on, I have to go tell everyone else what Terra
already hasn't." Endy said smiling as he walked down the hall. Jade ran to catch up to him and the
two walked in to the usual meeting room to find everyone waiting for them. Endymion waited for the
bombard of questions....that never came.
"Terra didn't tell you guys?" He asked in surprise.
"She told us you had some big, exciting announcement you had to tell us but then she wouldn't tell us
what it was." Zoisite explained.
Jeadite smirked at them. "Ha, she told me already."
"Jade, why is it that Terra will always tell you, and not the rest of us?" Kunzite asked.
"I don't know. She just tells me things." He said shrugging.
'Aww, I think she has a crush on Jade." Neph teased.
"Uh, yeah sure Neph. Whatever." Jade said.
"So what is this announcement Endy?" Zoi asked impatiently.
"Well you know how Princess Serenity has the four guards too?" He started. The others all nodded
and he continued. "Well they finally finished their training, and they all have their placements and
everything, and the Queen has decided that it is time for the Earth Prince and his court, meaning us,
to meet the Moon Princess and her court. Meaning, we are going to the moon."
***************************
Serin ran into Rei's room to find her reading over old letters from Jeadite.
"You miss him a lot don't you?" She asked softly.
Rei looked up in surprise, having not noticed that anyone else had come into the room. "Oh hey."
She said when she saw it was Serin. "And yeah I do. But I will get to see him soon so I am really
excited."
"How long have you two know each other?" Serin asked.
"Ummm, I think 12 years."
"So come on, how did you meet?" She asked smiling.
"I kinda ran into him and knocked him over." Rei said sheepishly.
"Are you serious?" She asked laughing.
Rei nodded. "See his mom and my mom were really good friends. But Jeadite's mother had moved
to the sun many years before, because she was getting married. And they didn't see each other again
until seven years later. And I was I think five, and Jed was 7, and we were both outside playing
before we had to meet each other. And I ran down the hill not noticing him, and I just kinda
knocked him over."
"So then what happened?" Serin asked.
"Well he yelled at me for knocking him down, but then we apologized, and we played like tag or
something. Then we were both summoned by our mothers. So we separately went back to the
palace, and were extremely surprised to see the other one there. See, neither of us had wanted to
meet, because we both thought the other was going to be a dork." Rei said laughing.
"But you ended up being best friends."
"Right. But when Jed saw that the person he had been yelling at before, was really the Princess of
Mars, he like flipped out. Looking back it was really funny. He was like bowing and started
apologizing like crazy, until he was sure I had forgiven him."
Serin started laughing. "I can't believe he did!" She said.
"So anyway, somehow after that we became inseparable. Until he left about two weeks later of
course. He went back to the sun and I didn't hear from him again until two years later, when my
mom invited him and his mom to come live at the palace with us. Ever since my dad has died, she
was really lonely and she missed Kat, Jed's mom, a lot, so they came back. And we were still just as
close, until he turned 12, and I was time for him to train to be a guard of Endymion's. And that was
the last time I saw him, when he was 12 and I was 10." Rei explained.
"Oh, so you guys got a big happy reunion thing coming up huh?" Serin said. "And seeing as you
haven't seen him in what seven years? Do you know how hot he could be?" She exclaimed.
"Ren!" She exclaimed, using the special nickname the two had for each other.
"But he could be really really hot Rei!" Serin protested.
"If you are so sure he is going to be so hot, then why don't you go for him?" Rei asked in
exasperation.
"Who says I won't?" She asked slyly. "Just joking. I gotta leave him for you. I am determined to get
the two of you together. Besides, according to you the prince is pretty hot."
"That's what I hear." Rei said. "Guess we will just have to wait and see ne?"
***********************
"We are going to the moon?" Zoi asked finally.
Endymion nodded. "We leave in two weeks, we will be there for about two months."
"What exactly is this trip for? I assume it must have some reason." Kunzite asked.
"My mom and Queen Serenity just want for the Princess and I to meet, so that perhaps we can
make the bond stronger between the two kingdoms." He explained.
The others all smiled realizing that the two Queens were really trying to get their children to fall in
love, and get married, therefore strengthening the bond.
"So do we get to meet all the scouts and everything?" Neph asked.
"They are going to be like our tour guides or something I think. And we will be training with them
while we are there. That way if the Dark Kingdom was ever to attack, we all know how to work
together in case stronger actions needed to be taken." Endy said.
"Is Terra coming with us?" Jade asked.
Endy shook his head.
"Isn't she kinda pissed about that?" He asked.
"Yeah but what can she really do about it? Besides she is only 9, she's still a little kid."
The others were all silent for a moment. "You know, I hear that Princess Serenity is supposed to be
pretty hot Endy." Neph said smiling slyly.
"Are you guys planning on trying to get the two of us together and eventually get married?" He
asked.
"You do have to marry a princess." Kunz said.
"Yeah, but they are all princesses." Jade added.
"That's true. And I heard they are all supposed to be good looking." Zoi said.
The others all turned to stare at him. "What?" He asked blushing.
"Ohhh, is Zoey taking an interest in girls?" Endy teased.
"I do like things other then books ya know." He defended.
"We know, but it's still fun to bug you." Jade said.
"Yeah, just like it is fun to bug Jade about his girlfriend, who he finally gets to see again." Neph said
grinning.
"You know, she could be really hot by now." Endymion said just coming to the realization.
"Yeah when was the last time you saw her?" Nephlite asked.
"Seven years ago. Why?" Jade asked suspiciously.
"Yeah see, a lot happens in seven years. She could be really really gorgeous." Endy said.
"Then why don't you guys go for her?" Jade snapped.
"Cause she's your girlfriend." Neph said.
Jade groaned and looked towards the other two for help. "A little help here guys?" He asked
"Why don't we all start packing? Two weeks will be here before we know it." Kunz said standing
up.
"But we were having so much fun teasing Jade and--" Neph stopped in mid sentence at the glare
Kunzite gave him. "Ok Ok we are going." He said leaving the room; the others trailed behind.
Two Weeks Later
"Hey Serin do you know when the Prince is going to get here?" Minako asked.
"No, but I hope it's soon. I am really nervous about meeting them. This is my first real time meeting
other royalty, you know where I have to follow protocol and everything." She said nervously.
Rei smiled at her reassuringly. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll do fine."
Suddenly Ami gasped looking up from her mini computer. "Guys we've got a monster attack!"
"There have been a lot of those lately. I hope it isn't going to amout to anything to serious." Makoto
said frowning.
"Uh more bad news guys. The guards just sent a message that they captured a few people and they
are in need of our assistance." Ami said.
"Ok here is the plan. The guard situation seems to be more under control, so we will need more
people fighting the monster attack. Rei why don't you go down and help the guards, and Makoto,
Ami, and I will go fight the youma." Minako said, all business like.
"I'm going with Rei." Serin said.
"You are staying here, where it is safe." Minako said.
"But what if Rei needs help? Or if someone attacks here?" She said logically.
"She's right you know." Rei said.
Minako sighed. "Fine, just let's get going ok?"
"VENUS POWER"
"JUPITER POWER"
"MERCURY POWER"
"MARS POWER"
"MOON PRISM POWER"
Mars and Moon ran off in one direction and the others went in the opposite direction.
"You stay back and keep yourself out of sight unless I need your help." Mars instructed.
"I know I know. I will only help if you get stuck." Moon said rolling her eyes.
Mars noticed. "I'm sorry, but we have to keep you safe. That's our job."
"Yeah well I don't want my best friend getting herself killed."
"Don't worry. I don't plan on dying for quite some time." By that time the two had reached the gate.
There were five men against the gate with their backs towards the scouts. The two guards were busy
yelling at them and didn't notice the presence of the scouts. "Now, make yourself scarce, I can
handle this." Mars said.
Moon nodded and moved out of sight. 'Uh, excuse me." Mars called out, receiving no answer. She
tried once again but again with no result. 'Time to take drastic measures.' She thought.
"Mars...Fire...IGNITE!" She yelled sending a small stream of fire to the side of one of the guards.
Everyone stopped talking. The five men at the gate all jumped at the sound, and one of them gasped
in shock.
Jade's eyes widened as he heard the attack being called out. There was only one person he knew of
that was able to do that. "Hey dorkus," He called out happily, back still to her. "Would you mind
telling these nice guards here that we are not intruders, we are supposed to be here?"
Mars's eyes widened as she heard the voice. There was only one person in the Universe who called
her dorkus. "Jed!" She called excitedly. "Is that you?"
"Jed?" The others all asked in unison.
"Hey Rei, long time no see huh?" He said.
"I can't believe you are here!" She exclaimed. "I take it this is the Prince and the rest of the court?"
She asked.
"Yes would you mind explaining that to the guards?" Endymion asked irritably.
"Oh yeah sorry bout that." Mars said turning towards the guards. "Release them." She demanded.
"I am sorry Princess Mars but we have orders to take in any intruders for questioning. You can't be
to careful now a days." One guard said.
Mars glared at them. "Have you even bothered to ask who they are? Of course not. If you did, you
would have discovered that this is Prince Endymion of Earth and his court." She said angrily.
"We apologize but we are following orders, regardless of who you think they are."
Mars was now steamed. "As am I. And if you were following orders, you would follow mine, and
release them. My orders come from Princess Venus who has the power to overrule the Queen's
orders if necessary, and the rest of us scouts have the authority to decide when that is necessary.
Now would be one of those times. Meaning you follow the orders I give. Now will you release
them, or do I have to talk to the Queen about getting new guards?" She asked.
"Remind me never to get on her bad side." Neph said under his breath to Endymion.
The guards reluctantly released the five men who proceeded to turn around, ready to greet their
savior. The sight before them though cause their jaws to drop without any words coming out. The
girl before them was gorgeous. She had long long raven hair that gracefully flowed down her back.
She had large raven eyes that entranced whoever looked towards them. She was wearing a tight
fitting white body suit with a purple bow in the back, and a very very very short red skirt.
"Rei?" Jeadite finally managed to get out.
"Hey Jed. Nice to finally see you again." She said smiling. "Hey Serin, it's safe, you can come out."
She called behind her.
The others remained speechless staring at the two.
"Oh, I should introduce everyone. This is Kunzite, Nephlite, Zoisite, and Prince Endymion of Earth."
He said pointing to each person. "Hope you don't mind that I totally skipped over protocol."
"Not at all. And I apologize for the incident with the guards." Rei said. "Oh, and I am Sailor Mars,
also known as Princess Rei of Mars." She said warmly. "And this is--" She turned around ready to
introduce the princess, only to discover she was no longer there. "Oh shit!" She groaned.
"What happened?" Kunzite asked.
"Um please excuse me for leaving like this, but I gotta go. I have to find the princess." Rei said.
"You lost your princess?" Nephlite asked smirking. He stopped when Rei glared at him. The others
watched as she ran off.
"That's Rei?" Endymion asked.
Jade nodded, still in shock himself.
"You guys up for a little spying?" Neph asked evily.
"Neph, we shouldn't follow her." Zoi said.
"When has that ever stopped us?" Jade asked. They took off at a run to catch up to Rei.
'I can't believe she ran off without saying anything. That is so unlike her.' Rei thought as she ran
towards the gardens. 'She's crying. I can feel it. I better get to her soon.' She finally made it to the
gardens and ran through, eventually finding Serin sitting against the wall crying her heart out. "Oh
Ren." She said putting a comforting arm around her. "What's wrong."
She didn't even have to look up to know that it was Rei who had found her. "Oh Rei, I'm sorry. I
didn't meant to run off like that, and I'm sorry for messing up your reunion with Jeadite and
everything." Serin said trying to dry her eyes.
"Oh come on. You know that I'm not mad at you. And you know that no one is more important than
you anyway!" Rei said hugging her. "Now are you going to tell me what's wrong or are we going to
sit here all day?"
"They seem to be very close." Zoisite observed from the bushes they were hiding in.
"I take it that's the Moon Princess." Jade said elbowing Endymion.
The prince however paid no attention as he stared at the weeping girl. 'She is absolutely
breathtaking.' He thought in astonishment.
"Ohhh I think Endy's in love." Neph teased.
"Would you guys be quiet? I am trying to hear what is going on!" Endymion said.
"Did I ever tell you about Travis?" Serin asked.
"Ummm, no I don't think so." Rei responded. "Who is he?"
"Was." She said quietly. "He passed away about seven years ago."
"I'm sorry." Rei said. "Were you two close?"
"He was my twin brother." She said looking up at her cousin and best friend.
"Oh God Serin! I'm so sorry." She said hugging her once more.
"It's ok. I'm as over it as can be expected, but when I saw them..." Serin stopped for a minute to
regain her composure, and then continued. "When I saw one of the guards, I think it was the blonde
one, I just broke down again."
"Jeadite? But why would that upset you?" Rei asked puzzled.
"Oh that's Jeadite? Your best friend Jeadite? Oh God I feel so stupid now!" Serin cried.
"Don't. Just explain why it was so upsetting." Rei said soothingly.
"He looks exactly like Travis would have at this age. And there was just something about it that
made me think of Travis. Just the kind of person he seems to be." Serin said tears coming again.
The others all turned to glare at Jade. "What?! It's not my fault!" He exclaimed. The others all turned
back to the two girls talking. "Like I am supposed to know she had a twin brother." He muttered.
"Oh Serin you poor thing." She said.
"I am so sorry for just running off like that." She apologized again.
"Look it's no big deal. But you do have to formally meet the Prince in a little while so why don't we
go back in the palace ok?" Rei suggested as the two stood up.
"I hope I don't embarrass everyone later by crying again when I meet Jed." Serin said.
"You won't embarrass anyone, don't worry. And if you are worried about what your mom will say, I
am sure she will understand also." Rei said soothingly.
"Yeah I'm sure she will. And this time, I promise not to ruin your meeting with Jeadite ok?" She
asked standing up.
"Deal." Rei said standing also.
As Serin noticed that Rei was still wearing her uniform, a realization came over her. "Wait, Rei, did
they get a chance to see you at all?" She asked laughing.
"Yeah why?"
"Look at what you are wearing."
Rei blushed as she realized how revealing her uniform was. "Hey I didn't make them. I just get stuck
wearing them. Give me a second to change back will you?"
Serin stepped to the side as Rei closed her eyes and concentrated. Within a few minutes she was
once again wearing her Princess style dress. "You know," She commented, "I really don't think these
dresses are much better looking. They are just as ugly and..." She continued as Rei and Serin
walked back towards the castle.
Once the two were out of sight, Endymion let out a breath he did not realize he had been holding
until then. Jade was also still in a state of shock from seeing Rei.
"We hate to say it," Kunzite started.
"Actually I look forward to things like this," Nephlite added.
"But we did tell you so." Zoisite finished.
"Hey I never denied anything!" Endymion protested.
"True, but Princess Serenity is really good looking."
"Thanks, I hadn't figured that out yet." Endy said sarcastically.
"So you gonna go for her Endy?" Neph asked nudging him.
He smiled. "Might as well, we've got two months right?"
"So what about you Jade?" Kunz asked.
He looked up in surprise. "What? Why are you dragging me into this conversation?" He asked.
"Well Rei is your best friend, and you do already know her," Zoisite let his voice trail off, leaving out
the most important factor.
"And she is incredibly hot." Endymion continued.
"So our question is, are you going to go for her?" Kunz finished.
"I don't know." He said groaning. "I mean last time I saw her she was a gawky little ten year old girl,
and now she is this beautiful seventeen year old woman, but she also happens to be my best friend."
"Yeah we wish we all had the same problem." Nephlite muttered.
"So what do I do?" Jade asked.
"Um can't help you on that right now," Zoisite said looking at his watch, "Because we are supposed
to be in the Throne Room of the palace to meet the Queen and Princess and her court in exactly two
minutes!" He exclaimed.
"This is really gonna impress them all." Neph muttered as they took off for a run at towards the
castle.
"Where could they be? The guards should have led them here when they arrived." Queen Serenity
said.
Serin's eyes met Rei's as they both widened realizing what had happened. Before they could say
anything though, five men ran into the throne room and stopped short upon seeing the others stare at
them.
"Please excuse us for being late your majesty, we got a little lost." Endymion explained.
'That was my fault." Rei said stepping away from the others. Jade's gaze locked on her as he was
once again mesmerized by her beauty. "The guards who greeted them would not listen that they
were the Prince of Earth and his court. Once I convinced him to free them, I had to, go attend to
someone imeaditly. Afterwards, I forgot that they had arrived, I apologize."
"Rei, you should have know not to leave them like that. Were your reasons that important??" Queen
Serenity asked.
"Trust me my Queen, it was imperative that I attended to this person." Rei said, her eyes telling the
Queen to take a good look at the guards.
Glancing at Rei curiously, she then turned to the Prince and his guards, who were all bowed. "Please
rise." She said, and as they did she noticed that one, the blonde one, looked familiar. Suddenly she
realized why Rei had run off, and after whom. After glancing towards her daughter, who was trying
her hardest not to cry, her suspicions were confirmed. "I also apologize for Rei running off. Now
though, we shall have proper introductions."
Endmyion stepped forward. "I am Prince Endymion of Earth. These are my guardians, and in order
of rank, Kunzite, Jeadite, Nephlite, and Zoisite." They each stepped forward and bowed
respectively.
Princess Serenity now stepped forward. She took a deep breath and saw Rei give her an
encouraging glance, and started the introductions. "I am Princess Serenity of the Moon, and am very
pleased to meet you all. These are my guardians, also in order of rank. Princess Minako of Venus,
Princess Rei of Mars, Princess Makoto of Jupiter, and Princess Ami of Mercury." Each girl stepped
forward and curtsied as their name was announced.
Everything was silent for a moment, and just as Serin was bout to panic, the Prince spoke up. "I
hope you don't think this rude or too forward, but I was wondering if I might as a question?" He
asked.
The Queen smiled at him. "Please do."
"When Princess Mars greeted us before, she was in a weird sort of uniform. My Guards and I were
just wondering why that is?"
Queen Serenity stifled a laugh as she looked over at Rei who was blushing. "They saw you in your
uniform?" She asked.
Rei nodded as the other girls all broke into laughter.
"Ooh Rei, kinda revealing for a first meeting wouldn't you say?" Minako teased.
"Be Quiet. They had to see them eventually, they are training with us later on in their stay." Rei said
defensively.
"Rei is right you guys." Serin said defending her.
She smiled gratefully at the Princess who then turned once more to Endymion and the others.
"The outfit that Rei was wearing was her sailor scout outfit. As I am sure you all know, each of the
princesses also have powers, that can be used in defense. To use these powers, they must
transform, and they are then wearing a suit looking like the one Rei wore, with variations of color."
Serin explained.
"Thank you princess." Endymion said smiling at her.
"Well I a sure the ten of you would all like to get to know each other more comfortably and without
me around, so I will see you all at dinner." The Queen said as she left the room.
Once they were sure that she was gone, the girls started talking. " Now I feel really bad Rei! If we
had known that the people the guards had been holding were the prince and his court, we would
never have sent you down, well at least not in scout form!" Makoto said giggling.
"Like she minded all that much? She got to see five really hot guys." Minako said.
This time Rei and Serin started to laugh and after a moment Ami joined in.
"What is wrong with you guys?" Minako asked.
"Those 'hot guys' you were talking about are still standing right behind you." Ami said.
Minako blushed as she whirled around. "Oh yeah, uh hi." She said while everyone else in the room
started laughing.
After the laughter had died down, Serin spoke. "I want to apologize for running off before, and for
making Rei follow me. I didn't mean for her to leave you there alone."
"No problem Princess Serenity." Zoisite said cheerfully.
"Uh while we are all here and everything, would you mind calling me Serin? Or at the very least
Serenity? Everyone else does and I like it so much better." She said.
"Won't it bother your mom?" Kunzite asked worried.
"Her mom calls her Serin too. You don't have to worry." Makoto said.
"Well while we are on the subject of name changes, would you mind calling me Endymion, or
Endy?" Endymion questioned.
"You can call me Kunz." Kunzite said.
"Neph."
"Zoi."
"Jade."
"Jade? What happened to Jed?" Rei asked.
"Jed?" The generals asked in unison.
"Actually Rei, you and maybe my mom are the only people who call me Jed. Everyone else just calls
me Jade." He explained.
"Do you mind if I still call you Jed? After twelve years of calling you that, it would be kinda hard to
switch." She said.
"Not at all."
"So what about you guys, what are we calling you?" Neph asked.
"Serin."
"Minako."
"Makoto."
"Ami."
"Rei."
"Dorkus." Jade added softly.
'Dorkus?" Minako asked.
"Shut up Jed!" Rei said smiling.
"No way! You never told them about dorkus?" Jade asked smiling at her.
"Oh my God, are you gonna start telling all the stories?" She asked.
"Well I do have to explain the dorkus part." Jeadite said shrugging.
"Yes, please do." Ami said curiously.
"Well when we were little we always used to call each other dork when we were annoyed by the
other one." Jade started.
"So one day he called me a dork, and I started protesting, so somehow he can up with dorkus." Rei
finished.
The others just gave them strange looks. "You two are a very weird pair." Endymion said shaking his
head.
"You know," Serin said, "We still have some time before we have to be back here for dinner. Would
you care for a tour of the palace Endymion?" She asked shyly.
"Way to go Serin." Rei whispered in her ear as Endymion happily agreed.
"Yeah now you work on getting together with that hottie of yours." She whispered back as her and
the prince walked off.
Everyone was silent for a moment after the two left, until Jade spoke up. "How's your mom Rei? I
haven't seen her since I left."
"Neither have I." She said quietly.
"Yeah but you must have talked to her somehow since then? Through letters or something right?" He
asked.
"Actually I haven't talked to my mom since the day I left." She said softly.
Jeadite stared at her. "Rei you haven't talked to your mom in over five years? Is this because of--"
"Now really isn't the best time to be talking about this." Rei said interrupting him as she meaningfully
glanced towards the others.
"They know, well somewhat. I had to explain why your mom hated me." Jade said as he saw her
glance at the generals.
"Wait, since when has my mom hated you?" Rei asked confused.
"Since the first day I met you, when you were five and showed me your fire and I realized you were
part of Princess Serenity's court." Jade said quietly.
She stared at him with hurt filled eyes. "You knew all those years, and you never told me?" She
asked, clearly hurt.
"I wanted to but..." He started to say.
"Come on. You have a lot to explain." Rei said grabbing his hand and dragging him away.
The other six stared after them for a minute. "Anyone know what that was about?" Makoto asked.
"Somewhat yes, But I'm not to sure we are allowed to say anything. I don't think we are even
supposed to know." Neph said.
"Well then, since we are accomplishing nothing standing around here, would you care to accompany
me on a walk through the palace?" She asked smiling sweetly.
Nephlite smiled back, realizing how gorgeous she was. "I would love to my Lady." He said offering
his arm as the two walked out of sight.
"Princess Minako, would you care to show me around?" Kunz asked.
"Yeah sure." Minako said, first looking in the direction that Rei and Jed had run off to, then smiling at
Kunzite. As the two walked off her only thought was, 'Gods Jade is cute!'
Zoisite blushed as he faced Ami. Out of all the princesses that they had met that day, he found her to
be the attractive. "Well I guess that leaves the two of us. Unless of course, you would rather not
show me around."
"No I would love to show you around actually." Ami found herself saying as she smiled at him.
'What am I doing? I belong with the books, the others are the guy-crazy ones!' She argued with
herself. Ignoring the voice she took the arm that was offered to her by Zoisite. 'For once forget
about the books and have some fun Ami!" She told herself as the two started off.

BTW, the insult dorkus is also (c) to me. You can use it, but please acknowledge me or at least ask

came up with the name 2), but as Sushi would say, I may be smashed!
Translations:
Minna = Everyone
Jaa Matta = See you later
Ne = Right?(Or isn't it?) in question form, for example: The answer is 23 right(ne)? If there are any
other words I used in here that I forgot to add to this list, please, let me know so I can correct that.
Wow! I finally finished it!!! This has got to be the longest chapter I have ever written for any story
ever. And I loved writing it!!! I really hope you are enjoying this story because I am enjoying writing
it so much. More then any of my other stories. Anyway, in the next chapter, I will give the scenes of
all of them on their little walks, and stuff. Now they get to know each other, and start to fall in love,
course some of them with the wrong people... You will see what I mean soon, don't worry. My little
cast thing will be up soon but I wanted to get this out first. Chapter seven should also be up fairly
soon b/c I have a good idea of what I want to happen. Well for most of it. Give me a few weeks
ok? That may change though, depending on how school is going. Blame my pyscho Bio teacher.
And please please please please e-mail me with your comments? I promise to respond to all, and if
you have stories send me them! I will read them and write back, promise. So send comments,
suggestions, stories, or if u have to , flames, to Pekkle9983@aol.com C-ya in the next chapter!
P.S. Sorry this chapter took so long to get out, but even though it was a lot of fun to write, it was
hell when I got writers block. It was also a pretty hellish chapter to profferead. man that took
forever! :)
