~Entry Number 23~
It's me, Mars, again. The Royal Family of Earth, including the Prince and
his protectors
have arrived earlier today.. Queen Serenity has assigned me with Lord
Jaedite. He's a
nice, sweet young man.. though he's 21. I feel something... attractiong,
maybe.. to him.
I've felt this before when I was on Mars.. 5 years ago.. with an older man..
I was 14, he
was 18.. but I couldn't stay away from him. But.. I ignored it.. he could've
been my true
love.. but that's the past.. and right now, there's Lord Jaedite in my life.
He challenged
me to a fight, but within a few minutes, we stopped.. I hurt him badly with
my Fire Soul
attack.. his check was cut and sore and bleeding. I bandaged it up just
earlier, and I
feel bad for hurting him.. but he hugged me, nice and close, and that's when
I felt that
same feeling I felt before. I don't know what he thinks of me, but I have
caught his eye
on me a few times already, so he must have some attraction to me, and not to
sound
conceited, but many people have because of my looks. But I want someone to
like me for who
I really am.. not because of how I look. On earth, people would've called me
many things..
words even *I* wouldn't dare say.. but.. well. I'm not on earth..  Anyway..
I have nothing
left to write for now, and I must get ready for the Welcoming Ball tonight
in honor of the
Earth's Royal Family. Jaedite is taking me, but then again, he has to take
me. We're stuck
together just like everyone else is.. Mercury with Sir Zoicite, Venus with
Lord Malachite,
and Jupiter with Lord Neflyte..

Well.. maybe things will work between me and Lord Jaedite.. but I can't give
in easily..
no.. I won't give in easily.. I'll ruin my whole life if I do.. and I don't
even know if
these feelings are really love or just a fling... I'll just have to wait and
see..

Moonlight Love: The Flame in Her Heart
By Hino Rei 
PART 3
~*~*~@-----^-------------~*~*~

Lady Mars opened up her closet, and looked at the various dresses and gowns.
She pulled
out a pale sky blue dress that looked very much like the lavendar
"princess-gown" that she
normally wears, but this had more ribbons, and had a bit of silver and
instead of a gown,
it was a flowing dress.  She took two bamboo sticks which she had painted
into black, with
red japanese writing, and put her hair Japanese bun and stuck the bamboo
sticks into her
hair to hold it. She had a wisp of her flowing from her face on each side.
She looked in
the mirror.  she thought. She closed her closet door when she
heard a knock.
"Come in!" she shouted over her shoulder. She heard the door open and then
shut.
"Lady Mars, how can I compliment you on how you look if you won't turn
around so I can see
your lovely face?" the male voice said.
She turned around to see Jaedite, and smiled. "How do you do, Jaedite?" she
asked
politely.
He looked at her for a moment without answering, admiring her looks.. her
fair skin, her
eyes, her hair, her lips, her figure..
"Jaedite.. I asked you a question.. I expect you to answer?"
"Oh? I'm sorry.. my mind was somewhere else.."
"And where would that mind of yours be?"
"On you." he replied, and gave a charming smile. "Anyway.. I'm doing very
good, and am
feeling very honored to be escorting you to the ball."
She blushed a slight shade of pink. "Well, now, if you're here to escort me,
we might as
well go."
He smiled, opening the door for her, treating her as if she was royalty.

Jaedite and Mars stepped into the ballroom, laughing a bit. They greeted the
others and
Mars smiled pointing out that Endymion and Serenity were hitting it off
pretty well.
"Mars! Jaedite!" a voice called out. Mars turned around to see Lady Jupiter
and Neflyte.
"Jupiter, Neflyte, how are you two doing?" Mars asked them.
"We're doing pretty well.. we just arrived, I can see you both did two. How
are you both
hitting it off?"
Mars blushed, unwilling to answer, but Jaedite spoke, and said, "We're
hitting it off
pretty well, I guess.. Lady Mars here is unwilling to let me into many parts
of her life,
but we're doing pretty good, how about you?"
"Neflyte and I have an okay relationship.." she replied, but Neflyte kissed
her on the
cheek.
"Make that a good relationship." he said, leading her onto the floor to
dance.
Mars smiled. "I see they're having a good time!" she laughed, pulling
Jaedite out onto the
floor.
He put an arm around her waist and held her other hand as the two twirled
around
gracefully.  he thought.  he smirked as he thought this. 

After a few hours passed by, we find the lovely
both-wanting-to-be-a-couple-but-aren't-a-
couple out on the balcony. Serenity and Endymion were dancing the night
away.. but it was
the last dance. Jaedite wanted to bad to make a move on the princess of
Mars.. but felt he
shouldn't as he would get some type of punishment from the girl. He'd lose a
relationship
that he could've had, and maybe even a friendship that they have right now
in a way.. Mars
felt like she wanted him to make a move though, but knew he wouldn't as she
had isolated
herself from him, and not to mention everyone else, except for her close
friends. She
wanted to be close to the charming man she was dancing with on the balcony,
but knew she
couldn't.. she knew he liked her.. he liked her a lot.. she could see this
because he was
always trying to charm her.. sure, he tried to charm other girls too, but he
never gave up
on her.. he kept trying even if she refused to let him. And secretly, she
wouldn't let
anyone know, but she always liked it when he tried to charm her. Jaedite
looked at the
girl. Tall, thin, beautiful.. sparkling dark eyes, dark black hair which
shone a dark
purple in the moonlight as they danced, a perfect slim figure which her
lavendar dress
showed, and nice long legs. Her lips were small but full, and he wondered
what it would be
like to kiss them, to hold her very close. The two danced in silence, and
Mars took the
time to look at him once more. Short blonde hair, but handsome.. icy blue
eyes which made
him stand out some, a strong body, but not too strong.. she wondered on how
it would feel
to kiss his lips, and how it would feel if he held her close. They've hugged
before, but
that was different.. you can get a hug anytime.. but to be held by a lover,
that was
different. They both wanted and wondered about the same things, but the
other didn't know
of it. As the soft song ended in the background, Jaedite slowly brought his
lips down to
hers, surprising her, as he kissed her. His hand letting go of hers and
bringing it up
behind her head to hold it close. Her arms slipped around his neck as he
kissed her
deeply, her returning the kiss. After what seemed like ages to them, the
kiss ended.
Jaedite let go of Mars, kneeled down, kissed her hand, then got up. "I had a
lovely time
spending the evening with you." he said.
"Me too." was all she could think of to say as she gave him a sweet smile.
"I'll see you
tomorrow, Lord Jaedite."
"And the same with you, Lady Mars." then he took off. Mars stood there on
the balcony,
playing back what had just happened.  Venus walked out onto the balcony when
she saw Mars
just standing there.
"..Mars? You alright?" she asked.
"Huh? Oh.. yeah.. I'm fine.."
"Mars, something just happened.. don't tell me you're fine.. did he dump you
or
something?"
"No.. no.. nothing like that at all....."
"Then what?" Venus looked at her, wondering what had happened.
"He kissed me."
"He kissed you??" Venus now had a look of surprised, and Mars was still in a
daze. "He
kissed you?? You let him? Wow, Mars!"
"I never stopped him.. but I never let him.. he just all of a sudden kissed
me.."
".... and is that a bad thing? Or a good thing? Cause you look really
shocked!"
"I'm shocked.. that's all I know.. I don't know if it's good or not...  I
liked it
though... but it seemed... oh.. I don't know.... weird... as if maybe it
shouldn't have
happened... I wanted him to make a move on me.... but I didn't think he
would and all..."
"Well.... wow.. why don't you settle in for the night, maybe you'll feel
different about
it tomorrow.. you know, guys can't help doing those things.."
"Yeah... well.. I'll see you tomorrow, Venus."
"You too, girl!" Venus went off towards her bed chambers, and Mars went into
hers.

When she got into her room, she took out her journal, and wrote.....

        *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *

~Entry Number 24~

The Welcoming Ball was tonight.. Jaedite and I danced most of the dances..
and the other
girls are hittin' it real good with the other generals.. but Jaedite did
something I
would've never expected.. he kissed me.  He gave me a long, deep,
everlasting kind of kiss
right after the last dance was over.  Now I don't have to wonder about how
it would feel..
his kiss was long and sweet.. something I also never expected his kiss would
feel like..
but does that make us lovers? Was it a kiss to show how he really felt about
me? Or was it
just one of those things... that unexpectedly happen... maybe he didn't mean
to do it at
all.. maybe it meant nothing... and what will I say to him tomorrow when I
see him?

Well, I must settle in for the night.. I'll probably be having a long day
tomorrow...
