~*~*~@-----^-------------~*~*~

Jaedite walked down the halls outside of the inner guardians' bed chambers.
He found Lady
Mars's, and quietly opened the door. He saw she was still asleep.  he
thought. He
took out an envelope from his pocket, and dropped it on her desk, then he
left, closing
the door behind him, going back to his room which he shared with Neflyte.

        *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *
*       *

Mars woke up all of a sudden, the light from the sun shining brightly
through the window.
She walked up to the window and closed the light purple drapes over it, then
she walked
over to her closet. She pulled out one of her regular every-day gowns, very
similar to her
lavendar one, but it was of a darker shade. She tossed it onto the bed, then
took of her
nightgown, letting it fall to the ground. Then she quickly dressed into the
dark lavendar
gown, putting her nightgown away. She saw a white envelope on her desk, and
curiously
picked it up. Her name was written fancy in blue ink. She tore open the
envelope, and
pulled out a piece of white paper, with blue ink written neatly. It read:

~*~*~@-----^-------------~*~*~
Dear Lady Mars,

        I am truly very sorry for last night. I didn't mean for that to
happen, it came
unexpectedly. If you don't want to see my face every again, then that is
fine with me. But
if you care for me, as a friend, or as more, then I'll meet you at the
palace gardens at
noon. We can eat lunch there if you like.  I promise never to do anything
like that again,
unless you want me to.. But all I wanted to do was apologize and if you
still want to see
me, then meet me, alright?

Sincerely, Lord Jaedite
~*~*~@-----^-------------~*~*~

Mars put away the note and realized it was almost noon. She had overslept
bigtime! She
brushed her hair out, sticking a flower in her hair, then hurried out to the
palace
gardens. She saw Lord Jaedite sitting on a bench.  He seemed to be in deep
thought about
God knows what. Mars stood where she was for a moment, curious as to what he
was thinking,
and somewhat admiring him.

She hid, moving slowly closer to him. He sensed anoher presence.. her
presence.. around
him, but didn't move.  He smiled to himself.  he
thought. She walked
closer then covered his eyes.
"Guess who?"
"Umm.. lovely Lady Mars?"
He turned around and kissed her hand. "Why'd you come? I thought you
would've stayed
away from me after what happened last night."
"Well," she saidm "I came, ok?" she stuck her tongue out at him and he
kissed her quickly.
"What the hell?! You promised you wouldn't do that no more!"
"Hey.. well.. promises are meant to be broken." he smirked. "Anyway, you
stuck your tongue
out at me."
"SO?!"
"Haven't you ever heard?"
"Heard what?!" Mars was starting to feel as if maybe she shouldn't have come
to meet him.
"When you stick your tongue out at someone, you want them to kiss you... so
I did!"
"Why I oughta..."
He quickly kissed her again.
"What'd I do now?!"
"Nothing.. nothing at all! It's just... you look beautiful when you're mad."
She slapped him.
"What the ---"
"You were trying to be too charming, so I slapped you." she smirked.
He smiled. "Li'l brat..."
She sat down next to him on the bench. "So.. where's lunch?"
"Oh, lunch.. well I invited Neflyte and Jupiter over too, so they're making
the lunch."
"Oh.. ok.. I can wait."
He leaned over kissing her once more, this time long, deep, and not letting
go.

~*~*~@-----^-------------~*~*~

As Neflyte and Jupiter arrived, they cracked.
"Huh?" Jaedite asked surprised, finally breaking the kiss.
"Did we bother a little moment here?" Jupiter laughed.
"Haha, very funny.. as a matter of fact, you did." Mars said.
Jaedite looked at her. "This is all of a a sudden a MOMENT to you?"
"Yeah.. why do you ask?"
"I would think you would not like none of this anymore after last night."
"And what happened last night, Jaedite?" Neflyte asked, giving him a look.
"Naughty,
naughty, Jed.."
Jaedite shot a look back. "Nothing like that at all! Not like she would let
me..."
Neflyte shook his head. "Doesn't sound like you, Jed... I believe that you
didn't do
nothing with the girl... but I know for a fact that you want to."
Jaedite blushed a bit, trying to hide it. It was true.. he didn't do
anything.. but he
wanted to..
"Don't know what to say, huh Jed!" Neflyte laughed.
Mars slapped Jaedite. "Pervert."
Jupiter laughed. "Let's get started on lunch, shall we? Or maybe Lord
Jaedite would like
to start on desert.."
He blushed even more, and Neflyte and even Mars had to laugh at Jupiter's
comment.
Jupiter opened up the basket and took out a plate full of sandwiches and
some fruits.
"That's it?!" both men asked.
"Pigs.." Mars muttered.
"We have big dinners here on the moon, if you haven't noticed already.. so
I'd save your
appetite." Jupiter said.
The two generals muttered something to each other, and they all talked and
ate their lunch
in peace.

        *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *
*       *

Jupiter and Neflyte had just left, everyone had finished eating long ago and
the other
couple had stuck around for a few to talk, but they had left, leaving
Jaedite and Mars
alone.
"So.." he said, standing up, and stretching. "Where to next?"
"Oh, I don't know.." she replied. "Where do you want to go?"
 he thought nastily, but didn't say it. "Wherever you like."
"Why don't we just walk around then... we can go through the forest over
there and into
the village, but first, let's go to my room.. we need to both change into
something that
won't make us look rich." she said.
She started walking over to the palace, then into her room/bed chambers.
Jaedite stepped
into the room.
"Jaedite, just sit on the bed or whatever, make yourself at home.. I'll be
back in a
second.." she said, going off into her walk-in-type closet, searching for
her "commoner"
clothes. She tossed out differnt articles of brown colored clothing and
other stuff as she
searched.
Jaedite sat on the bed where he was just a day or so ago. He touched his
cheek. He didn't
have the bandage on anymore, but there was a huge scabbed up cut. He leaned
back onto the
bed so he was laying down and saw a small book.. no.. a journal laying open
on the bed.
 he thought, but glanced at it and
saw his name.

He looked over at Mars who was still in the closet, then leaned over to read
what it
said...

        *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *
*       *

~Entry Number 25~

It's Lady Mars again.  Lord Jaedite has written an apology note to me, and
has said to
meet him for lunch out at the Palace Gardens.. it's almost noon, so I have
to be going
soon... Jaedite... such a sweet, charming man... does many surprising things
and will not
give up on charming girls... he hasn't even given up on me yet... I'm
surprised.. many
other guys would've given up long ago.. me always keeping to myself and
showing no
interest.. and me not giving in easily.. I won't change for Jaedite
either.... but he
seems only to be interested in me for looks... just like everyone else..
like I have said
before, I want someone who likes me.. maybe even loves me.. for who I really
am. Not just
because I've got "those eyes" and "that hair" and "lovely lips" and "those
legs" and "a
perfect body"... but I want someone to like me for "that fiery personality"
and "that
calmness" but "that fierceness (sp?)".... for who I really am... and if
Jaedite were to
see this, it may or may not change him.. but I want to see if he can really
love me for
who I am on his own, not because I or anyone told him, but from inside.. his
inner voice
telling him.. but I doubt that would ever happen.. sure I'm attracted to the
man, but..
well.. I don't *know* him.. and he doesn't know me.. and that's that..

Well, I must be going now to the gardens.. or I'll be late..

~ Lady Mars ~

        *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *
*       *

Jaedite rolled back to the position he was in. He knew how the girl really
felt. She liked
him, sure, it was obvious she had some type of attraction, but she didn't
love him.. and
she did prove a point that he wasn't sure if he loved her. He wanted her...
sometimes he
even desired her.. to hold her, to kiss her, to touch her to.. well.. he
won't get too
carried away. He never felt this much want for a girl before.. he'd been
close to things
like this, and has always been attracted to young but pretty girls.. but so
much want as
he felt for the girl who's room he was in this moment.. never.. but was it
love? He had
never felt love towards another woman.. not even his mother.. his mother had
died when he
was little.. and his father... well.. that's not exactly another woman.. he
never liked
his younger sisters.. too bratty.. never knew his older sister.. always off
on some trip
or on training for this and that.. so how would he know love? Maybe he did
feel love for
the Lady Mars.. maybe he didn't.. he would never know unless he got to know
her, tried to
see beyond the lovely looks of this fierce young woman... but how could he?
She never let
anyone in to the light and dark secrets inside her.. she probably never
would.. always
keeping to herself..

"Found them!" her voice exclaimed from inside the closet. She came out
carrying a bunch of
brown-colored cloth, and tossed them onto the bed and on top of her journal.
"Let's see.." she muttered. She tossed a shirt and some pants over at
Jaedite. "You're
walking barefoot, I have no shoes that'll fit you.. but that outfit should."
she said. "You can dress here, I'll be dressing in my bathroom so you won't
be peeking or anything."
she said, carrying a brown dress with some patches here and there with her
to the
bathroom. After a few minutes, when she was dressed, she came out, her hair
tied up in a
slight ponytail with a piece of brown cloth.  She laughed when she saw
Jaedite. So common
looking. "When we get on the dirt path, throw some dirt in your hair and
face.. you look
to clean to be a commoner." she said, and then they set off.

        *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *
*       *

The two walked quietly, not knowing what to say, just the occasional this
and that kinda
stuff as they passed through the forest. It went from shimmering silver
trees to ever-
greens then they found themself on a dirt path.
"Well.. time for a bath.." she said, grabbing a handful of dirt and putting
it on her face
and in her hair and on her clothes. "There.. now I look like a commoner..
you're turn!"
she said to Jaedite, who refused to do so, she did it for him, tossing a big
ol' handful
onto him.

They wnt around the village/town greeting everyone they came across. Jaedite
realised that
Mars could be a very sensitive and kind and caring woman.. they came across
a building,
and walked in, finding themselves in a room with a bed. Nothing BUT a bed.
A door shut behind them and locked, making Mars gasp.
She tried to budge the door open, but nothing worked. "Shit!" she yelled.
Jaedite looked at the room, and realised what it was. "They won't let us
out." he said.
"What the fuck?? Why not?!"
"This is one of those places.. where people go to have sex... the should
have a warning at
least... they lock you in till the deed is done." he said.
Mars looked at him. "Oh no.. there ain't no way you makin' me get in bed
with you.." she
said, angrily.
Jaedite looked at her. Not one of those charming, convincing looks, just a
look. "We don't
have to if you don't want to.. but you'll be spending the rest of your life
in here with
me then.." he said.
Mars sat down on the ground. "Fine then. I really don't care."
But after a long time had passed, which seemed like hours, of silence... she
gave in. "Okay, fine.. I just wanna get outta this place.. but you better
not think you'll be
gettin' this shit again." she said.
".... don't worry.. I know.. and I'll go easy on you.. you're a virgin,
right?"
"Yes, I am.. but I won't be soon." she said, and got on the bed, strippin'
off her clothes
while he took of his. Then he got onto the bed and kissed her deeply. He
didn't want to do
this if she didn't want to, but they had to. He pulled the covers over them
as
they..well.. you know the rest..

        *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *
*       *

(( This is not a hentai so there's none here!! You stupid pervz that came
here for sum, go fuck off, aite?!?! ))

        *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *

*       *

Mars finished putting on her clothes. The door had unlocked a few minutes
ago. The bed was
a mess, and so were their hair and all.The two walked out, and some of the
homeless and
commoners looked at them and gave a smirk. They knew what had happened, they
knew all
about the place. The two headed for home, through the forest, and they
walked in silence.
They didn't say a single word. They just walked, in deep thought.

Jaedite looked at the girl. He could see she was in deep thought, her hair
and face dirty.
He never thought what had happened.. would happen. Sure he thought about it,
but never
thought it would happen... what would King Endymion and Queen Mononoke say?
What about
Queen Serenity! What would the prince do if he heard what had happened.. his
friends...?
 he thought. 

Mars looked at the man she just done things with.. things she never thought
she would do..
especially with him! A general of earth! They didn't even have a commitment
together! What
would the Queen say about this.... or her friends..?!  She glanced once more
at him. His
face and hair were dirty and she could tell he was in deep thought.  ,well,
at least he's
satisfied his nasty thoughts.. he'll have a lot of good dreams these next
nights..> she
thought to herself. Maybe destiny had planned this.. or fate... but why? She
realised that
he hadn't just done things to her... he had been as careful as possible..
had made love..
he cared for her.. and she knew she cared for him. 
She went over
that once more... 

Jaedite thought about the girl. He cared for her deeply.. cared for her with
all his
heart... <.... and that must be love..> he thought.  he thought,
scared at it.  But that didn't matter any more. Whether he loved her or not
wasn't a big
deal to him anymore. Because he knew that she would never return the love
that was
blooming inside of him.

But what Jaedite didn't know is that burning inside of Mars was a flame of
love.. a flame
that burned for Jaedite only. But Jaedite would probably never know.. and
Mars would never
know about how he cared for her..... maybe that's just how destiny sets
things....

        *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *       *
*       *

Ok.. it ended weird.. well.. sor-ree! =P  Welpz.. anywaise.. look out for
part 5 which I
have no idea what to write! *LoL*
