Chapter 7
Mars, Jupiter and Serenity were talking among each other in the conference room. Apart from them, sitting on the balcony, was Lady Mercury. She was sitting on the windowsill, with her knees under her chin, her arms crossed in front of them. She was looking nowhere, her eyes fixed on something only she could see.
"Girls, this is bad," said Jupiter.
"Tell me about it. Why can't we just beat some sense into her?" asked Mars while she slammed her fist on the table.
Serenity looked at her disapprovingly, and said: "Cause she's our friend. Besides, she wouldn't change anyway."
Then the door opened, and Venus entered. She had a strange smile on her face. Mercury didn't even flinch when she entered. She was too deep in thought. Venus said hello to everyone, but only three voices answered. Not caring about it, she sat next to Serenity.
"So Venus, what's with the smile?" asked Mars.
"I think I've got a solution."
"To her problem?" asked Jupiter, leaning forward to listen better.
"Yes, but keep quiet. Listen, I've talked to my mom, and she gave me this wonderful idea."
"Your mother? Queen Aphrodite?"
"I suppose. I've only got one mom," joked Venus.
"Well, and what did she tell you?"
"We must make these two talk to each other. If Mercury tells him about her past, he will understand."
"And that's it?"
"Love was never the problem."
"Hmm, that doesn't sound like you Venus, was it your mother the one who said it?"
The blonde blushed, but recovered quickly. "That doesn't matter."
"Girl, girls. Calm down. Your plan is good, but how do we make them talk?"
"W must organize a party. We will invite him, and when they meet, everything else is a piece of cake."
Mars gave her a little-girl-you-don't-know-what-you-are-talking-about look, and said, "Remember, Lord Zoisite can't come to the Moon."
"Leave that to me," answered Venus, a strange grin appearing on her face...
He lay on his bed, his green eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. His lips still had the flavor of hers, a bit salty, but delicious. He could still smell her scent, her perfume filling his nostrils.
I knew it was too good to be true. She is too beautiful to have even noticed me... He sighed, and looked to the side. His gaze wondered around the room, every little thing remembering him of Mercury. The mirror, where she had several times fixed herself, the window, where she used to look through, the curtains, where she had playfully wrapped herself up, his own bed, where she had jumped and bounced up and down when he had first showed her his room. Even the walls, they still had the sound of her laughter. He remembered when he had showed her his bedroom.
"Zoi, this is wonderful! You've got the best view and the sun... look at this! And this! I want this room! It's so beautiful!"
He shook his head, sending the memories someplace else. I must get over her. I must stop being so... What's that? Near his door, a faint glowing was appearing. It was round, and was getting bigger and brighter. Where have I seen this before? He stood up, and looked at it curiously. The energy he was feeling wasn't evil; in fact, it was very friendly. Then, the glowing took shape, a human shape. It's a princess. Ami used to travel like this...
Just then, Princess Venus appeared.
