Lance smiled at Red as she put her flute down. “Is something wrong?” She asked.

“Just a feeling of danger coming.” Red sighed. It had been perhaps three weeks since she had become Sailor Uranus, and ever since then, life had changed drastically. It was difficult enough being Champion of the Elite Four and the Kanto League, but having to fight off demons every few days was also irritating.

“Lance… how long have you been Neptune?”

Lance shook her head. “Almost a year already.”

“But… no one ever seems to notice those demon attacks…”

“Don’t forget.” Lance reminded Red. “I know Amnesia Wave. I can make them all forget anything odd ever happened. Also, people tend to ignore strange things or pass it off as pokémon attacks.”

Red could not disagree with that.

She leaned against her pillows as Lance began to play again. The tune started out sad, but it became more cheerful. She could feel her spirits lifting as the song ended.

“Thank you…”

“Mm.” Lance turned, before she pulled Red into a kiss. Red squeaked, but then she shook her head.

“Is it really all right for us to be in love, Lance? It’s too dangerous…”

“If we do not have love, than we have nothing.” Lance reminded her. She would have said more, but then her eyes narrowed as a scream sounded.

They nodded to each other, transformed, and ran outside. Nearby, they could see a girl struggling in the grips of another of those mass-produced monsters.

Lance sighed.

Red’s eyes flashed angrily as she charged power in her hands, lightning crackling over her fingertips. “Heaven’s Fury!” She cried, sending the bolt of black energy straight into the monster’s chest. It screamed in rage and broke apart into pieces of bloody goo.

Lance sighed as she glanced around. No. There were no other witnesses, and the girl had passed out. “Let’s go.”

Red nodded, as she and Lance spread their wings and flew away.

“So…”

Lance looked Red in the eyes. “You were nervous today.”

“How can you tell?”

“The wind whispers your secrets, love… just like the ocean speaks mine.”

Red sighed. “You’re mysterious, Lance.”

Lance chuckled. “Perhaps I am, but I like you.”

“I like you too.” Red rested her head against her lover’s shoulder, being careful not to cut herself. She didn’t understand why Lance’s wings were made out of sharp metal, as it didn’t seem to fit Neptune at all, but decided not to ask.

“Are you tired?”

“A little.”

“Yes, it takes time to get used to the power. You should not stay in this form much longer.”

“But… you were Neptune for a week at a stretch once…”

“I’ll tell you about that story some other time. I only mentioned it because it was necessary…”

Red nodded. “At least now I don’t have to do my Calculus homework.” She said cheerfully. “That was my Calculus teacher the youma attacked.”

Lance sighed. “Then shall we do something more productive?”

Red felt her cheeks grow warm. “Yes. Let’s.”

End Fic

Completed 10/16/06

This is another Sailor Moon-esque fic. I like it, even though I don’t actually write Sailor Moon fanfiction. I did write ‘Sailor Eevee’ though… before… but I think Red is more mature than Ash. So I cast Red as Uranus and Ash as Moon…

Red and Lance and Pluto and Saturn (who I haven’t decided on yet) have wings and armor because their duties as guardians of the Solar System require more protection than the Princess’s bodyguards. I may write the Inner Senshi armor too, but not wings.
