Yeah, I'm actually getting another chapter in. Isn't it
amazing, I'm so totally proud of myself. I hope you've
enjoyed reading my story as much as I like righting it. I
know there wasn't a lot of action, but I'm more the romance
writer. Oh yeah don't worry even though I'm close to being
done, this isn't the end of my writing. I still have more in
store for these characters. So if you actually like my
writing you can jump up and down right now, cuz I'm not
going anywhere. That is unless the owners of this site
decide not to publish me any more.

     The disclaimer is, I don't own Sailor Moon. I'd like to
own it, cuz that would mean I was really rich, but
unfortunately I don't own it. Which means I'm not rich. The
person who owns Sailor Moon is none other then Naoko
Takeuchi. That's the disclaimer, if you don't like it, send
me something I can use. I'm running out of ways to make it
interesting.

     In this part the bad guys are going to be in it a lot.
Yeah maybe some action, then again maybe not. Actually you
should say probably not.

     My e-mail address hasn't changed; it's still
serena84@hotmail.com. Mail me with any comments good or bad.

     Here comes the story.

     The Return of the Moon Princess:
          Part 5: Let's Get Down to Business
               By: Sailor Catrina

     "Absolutely not!" screamed Beryl. "I don't care what
Matalia said Mischief. I've worked to hard to come up with
the perfect plan to destroy the twit Serenity and her twit
family and I won't have it being ruined by your thirst for
vengeance. The plan goes down tomorrow, you will stay here
with your Generals, and army, and you can come up with away
to knock me of the throne, after I destroy Serenity."
     "Beryl, I don't think you heard a word I said,"
Mischief said, a lot calmer then Beryl. " Matalia said that
we had to work together. So as I see it, you can be in
charge over the whole battle, but let me and my army join
you. You tell me what to do, and I'll tell my army what to
do. This way I get in on the action, and I feel like I've
gotten my revenge on Serenity. My army and I will not enter
the palace, unless you give the okay."
     Beryl smiled wickedly, "I've got a better idea. General
Saphorly report to the throne room immediately."
     A man in a gray uniform, teleported in front of Beryl
and Mischief,  "You called my Queen."
     "General, please escort Mischief to our lovely
dungeon," the General walked behind Mischief and knocked her
down on all fours. "You see Mischief, without you your army
is mine, and there is nothing you can possibly do to stop
me," Beryl nodded and Saphorly knocked Mischief out cold.
"After you've finished delivering our prisoner report back
to me," and he was gone.
     Beryl walked to her throne and sat down. Silent rained
for a few minutes, but then a wicked laugh filled the empty
room, and if anyone was in there a shiver would have run up
and down their back.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

     Terra walked around the empty halls of the palace.
Usually there was a million people walking around the halls,
but with the ball being only a few hours away everyone was
busy preparing. Which is exactly what she should be doing,
but after being attacked by a monster, and being knock out
cold. Sitting around doing her hair and make up wasn't
something she felt like doing.
     "Princess Terra," a voice called from behind her.
     Terra turned to see a man in white walking to catch up
with her. He had long dark brown hair that hung loose. Even
though his clothes were baggy you could still tell that he
was very well built. Terra ran up to him and wrapped him in
a warm hug. "Galen, it's been to long."
     Galen pulled away, "Let me get a good look at you."
Terra turned in a circle. "My have you grown. I can't
believe that you're 19. The last time I saw you were only
seven, and where helping Serenity get in some trouble. It
wasn't like she needed any help though."
     Terra laughed lightly. "Last time I saw you, you were
training to become a Knight of Selene. I see you made it,
and I heard a rumor that you were the lead general."
     They started walking down the hall hand in hand. "It
took me long enough, but a year ago I made it into the
Knight's, and the day before you came back the Queen put me
in command. I was so shocked when I found out," he frowned
though. "Unfortunately, my new duties kept me from seeing
you when you arrived earlier today. Now tell me Terra why
aren't you getting ready for the ball?"
     "I could ask the same of you."
     "That's not fair, I asked you first."
     "I wasn't in the mood, to sit down and do my hair and
make up. I guess I just have a lot of nervous energy, and I
thought that maybe if I took a walk I'd loose some of that
energy. Now it's your turn. Why aren't you getting ready for
the ball?"
     "Well, unlike Princesses it doesn't take men hours to
get ready," Terra wore an expression of mock horror, and
lightly punched Galen on the shoulder. "Actually, I just
finished a training session with some new recruits, and was
just on my way to get ready when I spotted you."
     "I should probably be heading back to my room. It
wouldn't look good for me to be late to a celebration
partially in my honor."
     "One last question, before you go," Galen turned and
smiled at Terra. "Could I have the honor of escorting you to
the ball."
     "Why kind sir, are you asking me out on a date?"
     "Well actually yeah I am. You can always say no, but if
you do I'd expect you to save at least one dance for me."
     "I'll save all my dances for you, well all except
five," she smiled up into Galen's emerald eyes. "My brother
and his guards will expect me to save them all a dances."
Terra wrapped her arms around Galen's neck, and pulled him
towards her. Their lips met, and if it weren't for the need
of air, they would have staid like that forever.
     Galen reluctantly pulled away from Terra. "Can I take
that as a maybe."
     "You can take that anyway you want as long as you're
waiting by the stairs for me."
     "I can do one better then that," Galen said wrapping
his arms around Terra's waist. "I'll pick you up in front of
your room." He leaned down and gently kissed her. "I'll be
in front of your room 15 minutes before the ball starts."
     "I'll see you then," with one last kiss they went their
separate ways.

     "General Saphorly, when will the troops be ready,"
Beryl said sitting straight spined in her throne.
     "We had some resistance with Mischief's Generals, but
don't worry our cloning of the Earth Generals was
successful," he was quiet for a moment. "With the edition of
the clones we will be at full strength, your Majesty."
     "Perfect. We will attack in 5 hours."
     "Pardon, for questioning your orders your Majesty, but
why are we taking so long before we attack."
     "We are waiting so long to attack, because I want to
give that twit Serenity and her daughter sometime together.
Besides if we wait, and give them time to get toasted, it'll
be easier for us to take the kingdom away from them," Beryl
said.
     "I understand your majesty," Saphorly bowed low. "I'll
go prep the troops."
     "General before you go," a dark ball of energy shot out
of the staff Beryl was holding, and hit Saphorly. "If you
ever questions my orders again, don't expect to live."
     "Yes your majesty," and he was gone.
     "He's so arrogant," Beryl said to no one. "But, after
tonight I won't need him anymore," a wicked laugh escaped
Beryl.

     Endymion walked around the garden trying to clear his
head. `What was I thinking when I tried to kiss Serena.
She's the Moon Princess, she probably doesn't know who I am.
Besides being Terra's twin brother of course.' Endymion
mused.
     "Penny for your thoughts," a soft timid voice said
behind him.
     Endymion turned around to find Serena standing behind
him in a light blue dress. "You look beautiful, Sere."
     "Why thank you Endy," Serenity walked towards him, and
stopped when she was standing in front of him. "So, I was
wondering if you where escorting anyone else to the ball
tonight?"
     Endy looked down into her deep blue eyes. "Not that I
know. Why?"
     Sere wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him
towards her. Endy wrapped his arms around her small waist,
and wouldn't let go. Even when they pulled away, because
lack of much needed air. "Now like I asked before, are you
escorting anyone to the ball tonight."
     Endy smiled down at Sere, "I'm escorting the most
beautiful Princess, and saving every dance for her, but
one." Sere looked at him quizzically. "You don't expect me
not to dance with my sister, now do you."
     "I wouldn't dream about keeping you from dancing with
your sister. As long as you save the rest of the dances for
me."
     "The only way I wouldn't dance with you, is if a war
broke out and I had to go fight to make sure you stayed
safe," Endy kissed Sere on the nose. "I promise. Now I must
go get ready, but I'll be waiting in front of your room for
you, fifteen minutes before the ball."
     "I'll be counting down every minute," and she slowly
started to pull away. Then she was gone. Back to her room to
wait for the ball to start.
     Endy walked over to the roses, and picked one before
heading back to his room, to change in to his tux. He
couldn't wait till it was time for the ball to start.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
~*~*~*~*~

     Galen and Endymion stood in front of the girls room
laughing. "It's amazing when I left Serenity she was
completely ready, but for some odd reason she's late."
     "I can't say the same for Terra, but you think two
hours is long enough for her to get ready."
     "We heard that," a voice sounded from behind the two
guys. The boys turned around to find Terra and Sere standing
side by side tapping their feet. "I guess they've never been
on a date Terra, cause if they had they would know it's
customary for the ladies to make the gentlemen wait," Sere
and Terra giggled.
     "Okay you've had your fun, now let's get going before
we're late," Endy said putting out his hand for Sere to
take, and they were on their way.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

     Trumpets rang and everyone looked to the top of the
staircase.
     "The Princess of Saturn, Lady Hotaru, and her escort
4th in command Knight of Selene General Drake."
     The young princess, with short black hair came down the
steps on the arm of a very handsome man. He had short blonde
hair, and a warm smile was plastered to his face. He
escorted the young princess to were the queen sat and when
they reached her both bowed and stepped to the side making
room for the next couple to come down the stairs.
     "The Princess of Neptune, Lady Michiru, and her escort
2nd in command Knight of Selene General Ashe."
     The girl with aqua hair came down the stairs wearing a
white dress with aqua trim. Her escort had short brown hair,
and stunning blue eyes. He wore his black tux well. They
followed Hotaru's and Drake's example, and stood silently
while they waited for the ceremony to finish.
     "The Princess of Uranus, Lady Haruka, leader of the
Outer Senshi, and her escort 3rd in command Knight of Selene
General Logan."
     Princess Haruka walked down the stairs with her blonde
hair cut short. She wore a dark blue dress, that shown when
the light hit it right.  Logan was a very strong man. His
black tux fit him perfectly, and he had long black hair that
he let hang free. His eyes darted around the room, looking
for potential enemies.
     After they had taken their places the next couple was
called.
     "The Princess of Jupiter, Lady Lita, and her escort
General and Honor Guard to the Prince and Princess of Earth,
his Lord Nephrite."
     Lita wore a dark green dress that had soft pink flowers
going around the waist. She wore her hair in its normal
ponytail, with a green ribbon around it. Her escort wore a
black tux and wore his long, wavy, auburn hair loose. He
smiled over at Lita as they walked down the grand stairway.
They walked past all the guests, and bowed when they reached
the queen. When they straightened, Lita went to one side of
the throne, and Nephrite to the other.
     "The Princess of Mars, Lady Rei, and her escort General
and Honor Guard to the Prince and Princess of Earth, his
Lord Jadeite."
     Rei wore a dark red dress, almost the color of blood,
and wore here silky raven hair loose. Jadeite wore a simple
black tux. He wore his blonde hair short, but it still fell
into his sparkling blue eyes. After bowing Rei went to take
her place by Lita, while Jadeite went to stand by Nephrite,
but Rei and Jadeite kept looking at each other the whole
time.
     "The Princess of Mercury, Lady Ami, and her escort
General and Honor Guard to the Prince and Princess of Earth,
his Lord Zoisite."
     Ami wore a dark blue dress that matched her short dark
blue hair. Zoisite wore a black tux, with a blue flower in
his jackets right pocket. He wore his long reddish hair in a
ponytail at the nape of his neck. They made their way to
there place so the ceremony would be over faster and they
wouldn't be in the center of attention.
     "The Princess of Venus, Lady Mina, leader of the Inner
Senshi, and her escort Lead General and Lead Honor Guard to
the Prince and Princess of Earth, his Lord Malachite."
     Mina wore a brilliant yellow dress, but it couldn't
compare to the brilliant smile that lit up her face. She
wore her long blonde hair straight. The shine that her hair
had made her smile stand out just that much more. Malachite
wore a black tux, which made his silver hair, and his more
silver eyes stand out just that much more. Malachite wore a
serious expression through the whole ceremony.
     "The Princess of Earth, Lady Terra, who protected the
Princess of the Moon for twelve years, and her escort Leader
of the Knight's of Selene High General Galen."
     Terra wore a light blue dress. It was tight at the top
and flared out at the waist. When the light hit it right
green danced over it. Her escort on the other hand wore a
simple white tux, with silver trimming, his hair was tied in
a ponytail, and his emerald green eyes searched the guests
assembled like Logan's, looking around for friends and foes.
When it came time to separate. Terra went to stand next to
Mina, while Galen went to stand at his Queen's side. With
the nod of his head Drake came and stood by him, and Ashe
and Logan went to stand at the other side of the throne,
Ashe closet to the throne. Queen Serenity looked to both
sides of her, and smiled at what she saw.
     "Her highness, the Princess Serenity, heir to the
Silver Millennium, and oldest daughter of her Majesty Queen
Serenity, and the Late King Alexander. Her escort, Prince
Endymion, heir to the throne to the Kingdom of Earth."
     Serenity came down warring a light blue dress. She had
a brilliant smile plastered on her face.  Endymion wore a
black tux, with silver lining; he wore a red rose in his
right breast pocket. He looked over at the blonde on his arm
and smiled when he saw how happy she was. Arm in arm they
walked in front of Queen Serenity. When they were in front
of her they stopped and bowed. The queen smiled warmly down
at the two of them. She rose and talked to the guests in a
non-wavering voice. "I'd like to take this moment to thank
you all for joining us for this glorious occasion. The
returning of Princess Terra, and my daughter Princess
Serenity." She waited for the applause to stop before she
continued. "Now let the celebrations begin." She nodded to
the orchestra and they began to play.
     The girls went out to the dance floor with their
escorts, and began gliding to the song. Well they all went
out except Sere and Endy. "Let's tell her now?" Sere asked.
     "I thought we were going to keep it low key for now,"
     Endy said looking down at
the bubbling blonde. "Remember we were only going to tell
people who need to know."
     "Well I think my mother needs to know."
     "And, you know she'll want to make an announcement."
     "And, what better place then at a party in honor of
your sister and my return."
     Endy sighed, "You never give up do you?"
     "You should ask your sister what happened when she
tried to stop me from taking modeling classes."
     "I'll have to ask her about that later," she took
Sere's hand and started leading her to the throne. "Come on
let's go tell your mom before I change my mind."
     The queen sat at the throne sitting and talking with
Tranquility and Charity. "Serenity, Endymion why aren't you
out on the dance floor?" The Queen smiled brilliantly at the
both of them. Now Endy new were Sere got her smile.
     "Hi mom," Sere said, anyone could tell she was about to
burst. "Endymion and I have something to tell you."
     "Well tell me already?"
     "Endymion asked me to marry him, and I excepted."
     The queen stood and hugged her daughter, and future son-
in-law. "I was wondering how long it would take the two of
you to get engaged." Sere and Endy looked at each other. "I
knew about the two of you since the day Endymion first
picked you up. I'm surprised it took him so long to ask
you." She waved at the orchestra to cut the music. "I'm
sorry to stop the celebration, but we have another reason to
celebrate. Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion are
engaged. They shall be married in the spring." The guests
burst out in applause with the news.
     All the Princesses ran up to Serenity. They started
asking her a million questions. Endy, broke Sere away from
the group of girls and took her out onto the dance floor.
The Generals and Knights followed Endy's lead, and escorted
the other girls out to the dance floor.
     They stayed with those partners for the rest of the
night. Galen and Endymion changed partners a couple of times
so Endy and Terra could dance together, but other then that
the girls didn't leave their escorts arms.
     Three hours into the ball Artemis came running into the
Party. "The Negamoon is attacking. We must defend the
palace!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
~*~*~*~*~

     This is where The Return of the Moon Princess ends, and
I've already started the next part. I really don't feel like
typing what happens when the Negamoon attacks, cuz you
probably already know. So anyway look for my next story. I
think it's going to be called New Beginnings, but if you
don't find that, just look for my name. Oh yeah if I made
any mistakes let me know. It's kind of late where I am and I
really don't feel like going through this and checking it
over.

     Well that's it for this addition of Sailor Catrina's
Stories. I hope you learned something. I'm not sure what,
but something. Anyway, till next time Sailor Moonies.

     B-Y-E BYE!!!
