Silver Millennium:
Alpha

By: Dreiser

-Prologue-

	With a sigh Queen Serenity had a small smile on her face as 
she gazed out from her balcony at the gardens watching her daughter 
and the Princesses from the Inner Planets as they talked happily while 
gathering flowers. It had been a week since Serenity had called for the 
girls to take their place at her court as Senshi and they were getting 
along amazingly well. 
	Smiling softly she watched as her daughter giggled before 
offering the Princess of Mars a tiara she had made out of red roses. 
Mars grinned widely bowing slightly so the younger Serenity could 
place the floral crown on her dark head then proceeded to offer the 
Princess of the Moon one of the rare glittering moonlight roses. Eyes 
wide Serenity took the offering and blushed profusely. 
	The Princess of Jupiter rolled her expressive green eyes at this 
display and elbowed Venus who toppled back into a bed of daisies 
from Jupiter's unknowing strength. Her mouth in a wide `o' shape 
Jupiter immediately scrambled over to Venus pulling her up. The 
golden beauty laughed in a melodic voice gently teasing Jupiter.
	 It was then that the Princess of Mercury, who had been 
analyzing the rare moonlight rose Mars had given Serenity, looked up 
and commented that Jupiter had just assassinated several of the 
endangered starlight daisies. Jupiter looked horrified for a moment 
before commenting that it was Venus that has landed on them. The 
pair then proceeded to argue over whose fault it was that the daisies 
were smooshed until Serenity cut in to tell them that they had more 
than a thousand of the starlight daisies in the greenhouse on the other 
side of the Moon. Eyes wide the pair glowered at Mercury who 
giggled as they threw the daisies at her while she said she never knew 
such gullibility. 
	Just like sisters, Queen Serenity thought with a smile. I never 
would have thought they would bond so soon. Although, some are 
more social than others, the Queen observed. With that, she directed 
her crystalline eyes towards the stoic Princess of Uranus who was 
practicing some obscure form of Uranian martial arts on the other side 
of the gardens. Watching Uranus was the elegant Princess of Neptune 
who was sitting with Serenity and the others playing her violin for 
them. Occasionally Neptune would glance up to watch Uranus 
practicing. 
	Unknown to Neptune the lanky Uranus would mimic this same 
action after finishing an exercise but only when she was sure no one 
was looking.  Practicing with Uranus was the slight Princess of Saturn 
who eagerly took in every piece of information the statuesque blonde 
offered her. First Uranus would demonstrate the technique then Saturn 
would copy and listen as Uranus pointed out the errors in her styling 
then helped in trying again. Queen Serenity could not help but smile 
widely as Uranus loudly congratulated Saturn on correctly performing 
some sort of backhanded sweep patting the small dusky girl on the 
back then pulling her in an affectionate one armed hug. Saturn glowed 
from the attention and blushed happily. 
	It really is unusual they get along so well, Serenity mused. 
Uranus was such a guarded person, for what reason the Queen had no 
idea, that only the obvious innocence of Saturn seemed to immediately 
draw her out. The older girl had taken it as her task to rid Saturn of 
the turmoil that was her Senshi power. 
	Shaking her head Serenity murmured, "Such a pity. One so 
young having to deal with the guilt of such power. Truly unfair.."
	Then there was the Princess of Pluto. Crystalline eyes focused 
on the tallest of the figures, her dark green hair whipping in the wind, 
standing in front of the moonlight lake with red eyes which appeared to 
glaze over as she stared off into the distance. With a slight sigh the 
svelte figure leaned against staff continuing her vigilant post while 
watching for.. well, only Pluto knew the answer to that. Odd, Serenity 
contemplated to herself. Of course what really is normal for a girl 
destined to guard the Gate of Time? Shaking her lavender head the 
Queen of the Moon continued to contemplate the champions of her 
court before going back inside. 

-One-

	Groaning Uranus flopped to the ground exhausted. Stretching 
her long legs she pulled her hands back under her head to gaze up at 
the stars. "I'm beat!" she announced to her tiny companion.
	Looking to the giggling Saturn who softly settled next to her on 
the grass Uranus moved to ruffle the shoulder length dusky hair on the 
slight girl who smiled happily.
	Grinning crookedly Uranus looked back up at the stars saying, 
"You're getting very good at the Uranian art of self-defense Hotaru. 
My father couldn't have taught you better himself." 
	Blushing Saturn ducked her head. "T-thank you Haruka. I'm 
glad you think so... I've worked very hard." 
	Drawing herself up off the ground Uranus studied the smaller 
girl closely. "I know and I've been wondering... why? You're the most 
powerful out of all of us. Even more powerful than Pluto. You don't 
need to know hand to hand combat so why ask me to teach you?" 
	Dark eyes met storm blue ones hesitantly. "My powers are the 
exact reason why I am doing this Haruka," Saturn explained softly. 
"You have yet to see their destructive effect. I have... and... and I 
don't ever want to use them unless it is absolutely necessary." 
	Running her long fingers through her short blonde hair Uranus 
cocked her head to one side before putting a gentle hand on Saturn's 
cheek. With a crooked smile Uranus whispered. "It'll be all right 
Hotaru. You were given those powers for a reason. Probably because 
of your pure heart, someone like me couldn't handle such 
responsibility." Saturn was about to protest this comment but Uranus 
cut her off saying with a silly grin. "Hell! Knowing me I'd use Death 
Reborn Revolution if a waiter brought me the wrong food at a 
restaurant." 
	Laughing despite herself Saturn shook her dusky head at the 
thought. Seeing that Saturn was feeling better Uranus stood and 
offered the petite girl her hand. "C'mon it's almost time for dinner."

	When Saturn and Uranus entered the dining hall all the other 
Princesses and the Queen herself were already gathered around the 
table. Uranus quietly took her place next to Neptune and Saturn sat 
next to Uranus blushing a bit because of their tardiness.
	"Did you have a good practice Hotaru?" questioned Queen 
Serenity with a smile. 
	Nodding her head Saturn softly replied, "Yes."
	"She's practically beating me up," commented Uranus with a 
wide grin before eating the food set in front of her.
	"Somehow I do not see her defeating the champion of Uranian 
martial arts so soon Haruka," the Queen said with a smile. Uranus 
colored slightly at the compliment. "Well! I'm sorry it took so long but 
I've finally managed to decide who your combat partners shall be."
	Immediately all the Senshi were focused on the Queen's words 
eagerly. Their combat partner was to be a partner in everything done. 
They would fight side by side, attend the same classes at school, even 
room together. In short they would become companions for life.
	Mars gazed wistfully to her right at the Princess Serenity who 
was in turn studying Mars with a certain longing in her eyes. 
Wordlessly Serenity gave a slight sad smile then squeezed the other 
girl's hand under the table. Returning the smile Mars squeezed 
Serenity's hand in turn. The pair wanted to be partnered more than 
anything but knew it was an impossible task since Serenity was 
forbidden to take up her Senshi duties unless things had reached the 
ultimate level of desperation. 
	Clearing her throat Queen Serenity began again, "Mars you 
are with Mercury. The elements of fire and water coupled with 
impetuous and pensive attitudes makes you compliment one another 
perfectly."
	Mercury glanced over at Mars hesitantly, the dark haired 
mystic had a wide grin on her face and gave Mercury a thumbs up sign 
which the other girl grinned at.
	"Jupiter." Snapping her green eyes up the leggy brunette 
ceased her whispering with Venus to focus on the Queen's words. 
"Although I am positive the teachers will resent me for this I am placing 
you with Venus--" The two girls squealed loudly with happiness at this 
grabbing each others shoulders bouncing around in their seats. Already 
the pair began discussing all the fun they would have when the Queen 
coughed to get their attention. Embarrassed Jupiter and Venus 
apologized and broke their embrace. "As I was saying," the Queen 
said with a twinkle in her eyes. "I am sure anyone who enjoys peace 
and quiet will not favor this but Jupiter, your raw power when 
combined with Venus sheer accuracy will make you an unstoppable 
team. Also, you two appear to get along somewhat." Venus blushed at 
this and Jupiter snickered. 
	Crystalline eyes then focused on the mysterious figure that is 
Pluto. "Due to the extreme seriousness of both your powers Pluto and 
Saturn, you shall be partnered. Together I hope you might learn from 
one another how to handle such responsibility while having someone 
near who is experiencing the same pressures of the situation." Pluto 
nodded at Queen Serenity then focused her red eyes on the slight form 
of Saturn who wore a small smile. Pluto returned the smile and Saturn 
blushed. 
	"If you have not guessed Uranus you are partnered with 
Neptune. The opposing elements of both your personalities and 
powers shall make for a unusual and unexpected force. The pure 
destructive ability your blasts hold Uranus will be gentled by Neptune's 
waves when needed or accented by the passion the sea can feel." 
Neptune shyly looked up at Uranus stoic figure. The statuesque 
blonde focused storm blue eyes on sea green ones and offered a wisp 
of a smile. Neptune returned the gesture and tried to calm her racing 
heart.
