Well, peoples, here goes my first part to my fanfic. Once again, send all, comments, flames, edits, etc. to greta.maier@gmx.net. I *will* reply. Also, thank you for all the nice comments I got! ^^ One thing to the Prolouge, excuse me for the spelling mistakes. *'_'* I only read it over once for spelling mistakes and *obviously* didn't find all of them. *whacks herself* Greta no baka, ....

Disclaimers: I do not, in any way, own Sailor Moon the manga, the anime show "Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon" by TOEI Animation or the dubbed versions all over the world. The Characters do not belong to me either, I only use them for my own creative story, following the original storyline. The only main character I made up here would be Armina (Greek name; see? I'm smart! *as if*) and she belongs to me. (or my imagination, ^^;;)

Part One: Live: Silver Millennium by Greta

"Noooo, reaaallly?" A loud, screeching females voice could be heard throughout the marble hallways, of the large Palace.

"Yes, really!" came the fake excitement of a Princess.

"Oh, oh, Mars! Mars, that's wonderful!" came the females' voice again. Suddenly, a small sigh could be heard. But only if you wanted to overhear the loud commotion from the other people. It had come from Luna, who was leaning against the rooms' door, her arms crossed over her chest. Yet, she was smiling slightly. The scene was just too much though. Jupiter and Serenity, the center of attention, flinging their hands, while telling lies without end. The two Princesses' they had found in Venus' room, Mars and Venus, where screeching around. Venus was beautiful, as all the Princesses were. She had hip long blonde hair, held back by a yellow bow, a scarlet rose embedded in the middle of it. She had blue eyes, and beautiful lush lips. Venus was grabbing Mars' arms, pulling her around the room. Mars looked startled, her light lilac eyes widened in surprise. Venus started pulling her around now, almost as if dancing. Mars' long dark purple black hair was swinging around, just as her body was. Standing close by her Princess, Mercury tried hard to suppress laughter. Venus, with Mars' hands in her arms, pulled her around.

"Venus, calm down, will you?" Mars said, dizzy from all the movements.

"I don't want to!" Venus said back. Jupiter turned to Serenity, who was giggling at the sight.

"Uhm, Princess, do you think we could have overdone it a bit?" Jupiter looked at Serenity, questioningly.

"Hmm, maybe a bit, but, ...."

"What on earth is going on here?!" A woman's voice suddenly yelled out. Luna jumped, up from her leaning position. Venus dropped Mars' hands, looking into the doors direction. Serenity, hung unto Jupiter’s arm, breathing in and out deeply.

"Armina! Don't scare me like that!" Glaring at the Princess' comment, Armina tapped her foot.

"I'm sorry Princess, but, what is going on here?" Venus suddenly broke out into a grin.

"Oh, Jupiter and Serenity just came to tell me, ... er, us, the good news." she said out loud, while grabbing Mars to her side.

"Good news?"

"Yes. You should know, Armina. The seven people coming."

"Oh, you mean *those*. And what reason should that be to get this commotion started, hmm?" Staring a bit blankly at Armina, Venus blinked a few times.

"Answer her!" Mars hissed out, nudging her ribs.

"Why me?" she hissed back.

"Because."

"That's no decent answer!" Venus wailed out. Growling a bit into Mars' direction, she moved her body. While doing so she 'accidentally' stepped on Mars' foot. Mars glared in her direction, but shoved her into Armina's direction. Her face breaking into a happier mood, she stumbled out,

"You know Armina, the seven bodybuilding training young men, coming to visit us. ... And all for me, ... *sigh*." Armina blinked.

Turning her head to two guilty faces, she frowned.

"Nothing to get mad about, Armina, really, ...." Serenity whispered out, laughing nervously while waving her one hand frantically. Grabbing Jupiter, she edged backwards.

"You two, *really*, ...."

**********

"How could you fool us like that?" Venus whined, while walking behind Serenity. Giggling slightly, she answered,

"Because it's fun."

"Don't use the term 'us' Venus." Mars started. "I already thought it sounded a bit too unreal." Rolling her eyes, she stated,

"You really do have to believe everything."

"You thought it was true as well! Admit it!" Blushing a bit, Mars walked forwards a few steps.

"Hah! Knew I'd get you!"

"Venus, calm down. It was just for good fun after all."

"Mercu-ury, ...." she whined out.

"But, why did Armina know about the 'seven people' thing? You didn't tell her, did you?" Mars asked, slightly frowning.

"No, of course not! Telling Armina something like that maybe wouldn't have been such a good thing, ...."

"Not at all Jupiter, believe me, .... Mother wouldn't have let you go if you'd told her."

"Ah well, Luna, she can be strict. Probably just for the best though." Snarling slightly at Mercury's comment, Luna tapped Serenity's shoulder.

"Princess, I need to leave. I have a meeting to attend to." Sighing a bit, she waved one hand down the corridors' direction. "Organization things."

Nodding, Serenity smiled. Looking after the slowly disappearing form of her advisor, Serenity slowly turned. Keeping her voice low, she asked,

"A meeting with Artemis?"

"Probably." came mingled voices, finally agreeing on something.

**********

"What are we going to do now?" Venus asked out loud, leaning against Mars' back.

"I don't know, ..." Replying lazily, Serenity looked up from her slumped position at her desks chair. Leaning against the railing of the large marble balcony, Jupiter looked at the group.

"Maybe go outside?" Jupiter suggested, turning back to look at the Palaces Gardens.

"Now that will be fun, ..." Mars replied sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

"Do you have a better idea?" Jupiter spat back. Scowling, Mars lent heavily against Venus.

"Stop it, you two." Looking up from a books cover, which had been lying close to her, Mercury motioned at the bickering pair.

"Everybody seems to be in a cranky mood today, ..." Serenity sighed out, taking off from Mercury's lead.

"I'm sorry, but it's just, ... it's just, ... Well, I'm not really sure myself." Sighing Jupiter kept her back to the group. Suddenly pulling herself to her feet, Serenity sighed.

"Any plans?"

"Not really, ..." she remarked, a small smile yet creeping up her lips. Looking at her Princess with raised brows, Venus pushed away from Mars back.

Yelping Mars tried hard to keep her balance.

"At least warn me the next time, ..." Mars requested.

"Sorry." Pushing herself up from the floor, Venus stretched a bit.

"I don't know. Seems a bit like a tiring day to me, ..." Smiling a bit while nodding at her friend, Serenity walked over to Mars. Reaching out

one hand to her, she offered to help her up. Mars grasping it gladly, pulled herself up.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, Mars." Smiling sweetly, Serenity pointed to Mars neck. More closely, to the necklace she wore. It was a finely detailed golden necklace, a golden, teardrop shaped pendent hanging from it. Each of the Princesses had one. Each had its own individuality, yet, they all stood for the loyalty to their Princess as the royalty of their planet. A beautiful red stone was embedded in the teardrop, glittering a bit if it was held under the sun.

"Say Mars, can you give it to me for a moment?" Blinking at the question, Mars raised her eyebrow.

"Please?"

"Alright, ..." Reaching beneath her long hair to unfasten the necklace, she let it fall forwards, into a waiting hand. Lifting it, placing it in Serenity's palm, Mars asked gruffly,

"What do you need it for?" Ignoring the question, she asked one of her own.

"You're fond of this necklace, aren't you?" Nodding at the question, Mars placed one hand lightly at her hip.

"Sere, ..."

"So, ... What would you do if you didn't have it anymore?" Blankly staring at her Princesses face, she stammered out,

"I, I don't know. Why are you as- ..... Sere!" The white haired Princess had all of a sudden flung open her rooms' door, and raced outside, down the hallways, giggling all awhile. Yelling after her, Mars just stood still for a moment.

"Oh, you, ..." Picking up her dress' side with one hand, she picked up her pace, running outside. Laughing, Venus took a few steps to look down the hallways.

"Sere just loves to start fights with her, ..."

"One day, it might not become her." the tall woman beside her mustered, peeking out her head as well.

"You think, Jupiter?"

"You know that Mars wouldn't really do anything to her, ... Although I can't believe those fights would stop at bickering, ..."

Nodding at Mercury's comment, Venus sighed.

**********

Giggling, Serenity lifter her skirt a bit higher. Picking up her pace, she turned around a bit to her yelling friend.

"Oh, Serenity! Stop it!" Smiling, she stuck out her tongue.

"Uff!" Coming short of her breath, Serenity fell backwards, landing harshly on her behind.

"Ouch! That hurt, ..." she started wailing. Looking upwards, she opened her mouth a bit. Her tongue was slightly bleeding, having harshly bit on it. The base of her back hurt, as did her bum. A hand reached down to her, helping her up.

"A-rtemi-is, ... Watch your step, ..." Looking up at the at the tall man, she frowned. Artemis was much like Luna, an advisor. He was tall, white hair reaching down past his shoulders. His blue eyes twinkled as he smiled at her.

"So should you, Serenity." Scowling a bit at his answer, she bent down, to pick up the fallen necklace. Clasping it tightly in her hand, she turned her body a bit. Mars.

"Thank you Artemis, for stopping her." Her face seemed a little flustered, and she was a bit short of breath. The other Princess didn't seem much better though. Laughing, Artemis nodded. Mars turned to Serenity, sighing. Taking her one hand, she pried it open with her fingers.

"Ouch! Be careful Mars, your nails hurt, ..." Struggling against her, Serenity twisted her arm from one way to the other. Scowling, Mars, lectured her friend.

"Serenity! Stop it already!" Suppressing a giggle, Serenity gave up.

"If you stop digging your nails into my palm, yes." Her lips formed into a different form, somewhere in between a smile and a frown. Mars suddenly placed her hands on Serenity's shoulders, turning her around. Pushing her down the direction of the corridor, she turned back to Artemis.

"Thanks again."

"Wait for a moment! Have you seen Luna?" Slowing down, Mars half turned to Mars.

"I'm not sure, ... I think she wen-"

"Oh, you're looking for Luna? She went looking for you!" Serenity having managed to wriggle around a bit.

"No she didn't. She went for a meeting, ..." Snarling a bit at Mars' comment, nudged her ribs.

"But Luna wa-" Clamping her hand over the younger girls mouth, Mars turned back to Artemis.

"You'll find her around somewhere Artemis, don't worry." Pushing her Princess along some more, Mars harshly whispered,

"Don't try to embarrass Artemis like that!"

"I didn't intend to, ..."

"Really, Sere, ..."

"But Mars! Luna, ... Artemis, ... You know!" she started wailing, trying to defend herself.

"Oh, you be quiet, ..."

"Mars!" Their voices continued echoing dimly through the hallways, leaving a rather confused Artemis behind.

"Really, sometimes I wonder about the sanity of our Princesses, ..."

**********

Having been able to flee from Mars, Serenity went wandering around the Palace Gardens. Sitting under a shady tree, her dress sprawled around her, she sighed. At times it was difficult to get along with Mars. Stifling a small grin, she let her fingers run through the lush green grass.

"Princess?" Turning around to face the soft voice, the Princess arched her back.

"Luna?" A figure slightly (over)shadowed by a large tree, edged closer to the sitting Princess.

"What are you doing here? Artemis said he last saw you with Mars." Luna it was. Giggling a bit at Luna's question, Serenity motioned for her to sit down as well. Doing just so, Luna sighed.

"Relaxing is always good, eh, Princess?" Nodding at the question, Serenity smiled.

"So, you met Artemis?"

"Yes, it was some sort of tough job finding him. The Palace really is large, ... At times I want to ask the Queen to put large signs and arrows up throughout the Palace, ... " Sighing, Luna shook her head. Giggling a bit at her advisors comment, Serenity nudged her ribs.

"So, you did meet Artemis. And what did you do?" A small, evil grin plastered on her face, made Luna back away from her Princess. Slapping at her hand playfully, she exclaimed her Princess' name.

"Oh, come on Luna, ..."

"I already told you, we had a sort of meeting."

"Yes, and, ..." Edging closer to Luna, she nudged her ribs a bit more, this time with her elbow. Keeping her balance with one hand planted firmly on the ground.

"Stop that, ... We were assigned as organizers for the visit of the Red Cercis Kingdom children." Pulling away a bit from her Princess, she pulled her arm away.

Toppling to the side with a surprised yelp, Serenity landed with one side on the ground. Grumbling, she pushed herself up.

"You, ... Artemis, ... Armina yelling at us, ... What do you advisors have against me today?" Rubbing her side a bit, she leaned back against the tree trunk.

Laughing, Luna moved closer to her Princess again.

"So, what do you have to organize for them children? Baby food and a nurse?"

"They're a bit older than that, ..." Luna mumbled.

(Author notes: Imagine famous sweat drop here! Sorry for interrupting! ^^;; *better be sorry* Hey! *be quiet and continue writing!*)

"Are they? Then why are you calling them children if they're older than that?"

"Does anybody call you a woman, Sere?"

"Hey!" Frowning at Luna's comment, Serenity crossed her arms across her chest.

"Don't be mad, Serenity, ..."

"I'm not, only, ... only, ... Well, never mind. Say, who are these people coming?"

"Not calling them children?" Smiling at her once again frowning Princess, Luna threw up her hands in mock frustration.

"To be truthful, I'm not sure myself, ..."

"Not? But your organizing thei-"

"Organizing, yes. But other than that, ... You might just better ask your mother, ..."

"I'll do so, ... sometime, ... Do you at least know when they're coming?" Sighing, she looked at Luna. Before she could say anything, she waved it off.

"Never mind, ... Never mind, ... I'll ask mother about that as well, ..."

"You learn fast, ..." Luna expressed with a gentle smile.

"Luna, I might not be as smart as Mercury, but I notice things like these at least, ..."

"I know, I know, ..."

**********

Night had come across the small white planet, ... The deep blue, velvety sky, contrasted with the large, marble built building. The starts shone bright in the dark night sky, and everything seemed peaceful.

"Mama?" A lone figure had slightly opened the door to her mothers' room.

"Serenity! Come in child, ..." Sitting at a large wooden desk, the Queen looked up from her work. The Princess took slow steps, closing the door behind her.

She was wearing a long, white silken nightgown. Held up sleeveless by straps, cool air was able to reach her body. Her hair was pinned up with emerald combs, yet left streaming down slightly past her shoulders. Walking towards her mother’s large bed, she flopped down on it carelessly.

"Mama?" she asked again. Her mother, looking up from letters and other things that lay on her desk, sighed, not audible to her daughter.

"Yes?"

"Mama, do you mind if I tell you something?"

"Of course not, Serenity."

"Well, it's about Luna and Artemis, ..." the young Princess, started giggling. Nodding for her to continue, the Queen turned back to the pieces of paper once more. Trouble was on her mind. Fingering one specific letter, she smoothed out various wrinkles. Looking up for a moment at the Princess, she noticed her enraged in telling her what had happened. Smiling at her carefree soul, she fingered the letter. Leaning back a bit, she half heartily listened to her daughter.

"... It was funny actually, ..." her daughter giggled out. Looking at the letter, she sighed, not for the first time that day.

*~Dearest Queen Serenity,

I am glad you have come to agree upon my request. I hope you now I stand forever in your depth. Dearest Serenity, they should be along soon. They are the royal protectors of my daughter Kakyuu, as she herself. It is much as with your daughter and her friends and protectors.

".. Mars was a bit nasty though, ..." Looking up to her daughter again, the Queen smiled.

"I don't believe she was all that nasty. You must have done something, Serenity." Blushing at that comment, the Princess rolled over on the large bed.

"Well, ... Just a little thing, ..."

My galaxy has come upon damage already. I'm trying the best as not to let it be noticed amongst them, especially the Princess, as she would never leave if she found out. Serenity, I'm hoping I am not putting through much trouble. Especially with a few mischievous ones amongst them. I would like to laugh about that comment, but I would feel uncomfortable doing so, at a time like this.

"... It seems that our advisors have something against me today, Mama, really, ..."

"Why that?"

"First Armina, then Luna, then Artemis, and then Luna again!"

"Again?"

"Yes I met her ..."

With the best wishes,

Queen Kakyoku~*

Sighing, the Queen placed the letter away.

"Mama?"

"Yes, Serenity?"

"I have a question, ..."

"Go right ahead."

"Who are they?"

"Who do you mean, Serenity?"

"Well, you know, those people, coming to visit us." Smiling at her daughters comment about 'those people', the Queen Serenity pushed herself up. Walking towards the bed, she sat down beside her daughter.

"You're curious, aren't you?" Before letting her answer, the Queen went on, a bit startling at first. "A stupid question of me. Well, I don't know much about them myself-"

"But Luna said you'd know!"

"Serenity, let me finish."

"I'm sorry."

"That's alright. A good friend of mine is sending them here. She is the Queen of a galaxy called the Red Cercis Kingdom. It is much like here, the Moon Kingdom, consistent of stars and planets. And much like here, they have their own royalty. She is sending her daughter Kakyuu as well as her daughter’s protectors here."

"Protectors?"

"Or royalty, friends. Much like you and Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus."

"Why are they coming though?" the young Princess asked, looking up at her mother. Wincing inwardly at that question, Queen Serenity bit her lip.

"Queen Kakyoku is sending them here on senshi training."

"Senshi training? They have senshi?"

"Of course they do." Pressing one finger lightly against her daughters' chin, she smiled. "You should pay more attention while learning. Every galaxy has its own set of protectors. Some more, some less. But they all do." Staying quiet for a moment, the Queen looked out of a large window, located at the other end of the large room.

"Serenity, you better go to bed, it's getting late." Nodding a bit, Serenity stood up. Pecking her mother on the cheek she headed towards the door.

Turning around before closing the door, she smiled.

"Goodnight Mama."

"Goodnight dear." The door closing with a soft click, the Queen sighed along with it. Walking to her desk one last time for that day, she tucked letters, stray pieces of information and various books away.

"Kakyoku, poor Kakyoku. I'd love to help, ... But, ... I can't just leave. Especially now, ..."

**********

Finally! *sighs* Finally I get another part. Sorry I was taking so long. I would have sent this in earlier, but I (accidentally) erased up to more than half of this.

I spent a long time re-writing. (I erased it up to where they say "Probably.") A note to Kakyoku. For readers who noticed and readers that didn't *wink*; I *know* I named her Queen Kakyuu in the last part. But that's wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Kakyoku (or it's at least what Naoko said in an interview, and I'm sticking to that.) I thought it was like Queen and Princess Serenity, ... But ... Hey! Everyone can make mistakes. So, I hope you liked this. If anyone wants to e-mail me, do just so! greta.maier@gmx.net is my e-mail address. Flames, comments, notes, criticism, love/hate posts, etc. are always welcome. I'll surely reply! :) If you're confused by anything (may it only be a detail) mail me as well and I'll gladly explain. And I swear that I'll only get mad if you ask me the same question over and over again thirty times. ;)
