About half an hour ago, on the Earth's spaceship, five men were talking amongst themselves. But, one of them seemed obviously out of place. He had a book in his hands, and wore a pair of glasses in his eyes. The four others were chatting about the party that they were about to be in.

Jadeite was over excited, and started teasing Neflyte, saying that he surely was going to get more girls, while Neflyte desperately tried to attract Kunzite's attention, so that he might help him to get rid of that blond girl-crazy young man. Kunzite was ignoring the both of them on purpose, pretending to be in deep concentration looking at the stars.

Endymion was in the same state as Jadeite, and he was babbling something so quickly to Kunzite that even if he wanted to, he wouldn't have been able to understand. The prince's eyes were shining, his mind totally overjoyed because he had the opportunity of meeting the most beautiful girls in the solar system.

Finally, Kunzite sighed, and said, in the most serious tone he could muster: "If you both don't calm down, we will have to tie you up and leave you here till the party is over." It took them three seconds to realize what he had just said, and they shut up immediately. Jadeite and Endymion sat in their seats, and an uncomfortable silence spread over the room. However, it only lasted about a minute, before they both burst out laughing uncontrollably. Kunzite smiled, Neflyte grinned, and Zoisite just sighed.

Then, the ship landed in the Moon, and they stood up. From the inside, they could hear a voice, announcing: "And now, our guests of honor, Prince Endymion of Earth and his Generals."

The door opened, and they walked outside. A huge crowd of Lunarian people saluted them, and they answered politely. Zoisite enjoyed his view, watching intently at the Moon court. There they were, the Queen and the Moon Princess, with their hair in those familiar odangos. Strange tastes they have in hairstyles, he thought.

Next to her, was a black-haired girl. Her hair had purple sparkles, matching her eyes, and reached her knees. She was wearing a red dress, and he immediately identified her as Princess Mars, from the same planet. Fiery temper, I've heard. Also that she has some mind abilities…

Standing at the Mars' princess side, was a brunette. She had her hair in a ponytail, reaching her shoulders. She had green eyes, and wore a green dress, very similar to her friend's. Boy she's tall. I bet she could match Neflyte. Now, from where may she be? Green, tall, obviously powerful... only Princess Jupiter.

He now let his eyes wonder to the side of Princess Jupiter. A blonde, but with her hair down except for a red bow in her head. Her hair moved with the night wind, brushing her thighs. Blue eyes, shining with inner strength. His trained eyes looked at her and thought: She looks a lot like Princess Serenity. I bet that with her hair in the royal style, they could pass as twins. If I remember right, she is the leader of the Senshi, Princess... what's her name? Venus, that's it…

He looked now to the other side of Princess Serenity. Next to her, was a girl, who looked slightly older than the rest. She had light-green hair, reaching her shoulders with green eyes. I remember this one. She is famous for her playing in the violin and painting. I think she was Princess Neptune. And if I'm correct, that boyish-looking girl standing next to her must be Princess Uranus, he thought as he saw the blonde next to Neptune. Her hair was cut short, and a curious though ran through Zoi's mind: If she was wearing a tuxedo, I would have certainly mistaken her for a man. It was clear that she didn't like being in there or in the dress, for the way she was moving.

To Princess Uranus' side, was the youngest of the girls. She had purple hair and the same color for her eyes. She is just a kid, he wondered, Not much older than 12. Is she really a warrior? Now, hold it a sec'. Ahh, now it makes sense. She is Princess Saturn, the most powerful human being in the universe. It is said that she has the power to destroy a whole planet, and that her power is only overcome by the Empirium Silver Crystal. Strange that such a small girl holds so much power within herself.

With a protective arm around Saturn's shoulder, was the oldest of the girls of the court. She also had green hair, though hers was darker, and reached past her knees. Her eyes were red, and seemed to hold the wisdom of eternity. And that isn't wrong, the General thought. Because she is Princess Pluto, the guardian of time.

He nodded slightly, barely hearing the speaker's welcome speech. He was now looking blankly to the front, when suddenly a little warning shoot through his head. Now wait a minute. If there's a Princess for each planet, aren't I missing someone? Let's see, from the Outer Solar System...

He started counting with his fingers behind his back. Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn. That's Ok. From the Inner Planets, Jupiter Mars, Venus and...where's the Mercury Princess? She's the one missing. I was told she was shy, but I didn't expect her to leave before everything was over.

He searched in the group of girls in front of him, but he couldn't see anyone else that showed to be from royalty. Wait a minute. Who is that one there, behind Princess Venus? She is not hiding, is she? She appears to be escaping from someone. Zoisite's eyes were barely open, and with his excellent view, looked at the girl. Hmm, blue eyes, blue dress, blue hair... What?? Blue hair?

He was surprised, he had never seen anyone with blue hair before. But it looks nice on her. Matches her eyes... She surely is cute. *Really* cute. Hey, hey. Hold on Zoi. What are you thinking? Are you feeling attracted to a woman? Can't be.

However, his eyes didn't leave the Mercury Princess for the rest of the ceremony. He noticed that she was very scared, and searched several times in the crowd, looking for someone. He followed her eyes, and saw that they were directed to the edge of the amount of people. Trying not to be too obvious, he moved his head towards there, and only saw a couple of servants and some maids... except for that guy standing in the dark.
