13 Chapter 1: How did I get so Lucky

A/N: I do not own any part of Sailor Moon.

In this one as usual with my fanfics Lita and Mina are sisters and Darien and Andrew are brothers. In this Andrew is also the Moonlight Night. And as always I'm going to use the North American names since those are the names that I grew up with and know the best.

Lita stood on her balcony in her new ball gown half way zipped up. She just stood leaning on the balcony looking at the stars. She found her constellation sign, Sagittarius. She could always find it in the sky, no matter where she was on the Moon as if she was drawn to it. A strong arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her into his chest, as his hand zipped her dress up fully. Lita just smiled and lean back into his chest as the man kissed her neck lightly.

"Did I tell you that you look beautiful tonight?" He whispered.

"About a thousand times." Lita giggled.

"Well let's make it a thousand-in-one." He smiled and kissed her neck again. "You look beautiful tonight." He whispered roughly. Lita sighed and smiled to herself. "Were you looking at yourself again?" He asked her nibbling on her neck.

"Of course as always." Lita giggled. He turned her around still tightly in his arms and kissed her lightly. She pulled back and got lost in his deep blue eyes like she always does. "Is tonight the night?" Lita whispered looking away finally. Darien took a deep sigh; he cupped her chin and turned her face towards him again.

"It's the anniversary of my parents taking the throne, I told you that I would tonight." He whispered looking into her eyes confused.

"I know, but Princess Serena told me that she was supposed to return to the Earth with you." Lita said sadly. Darien giggled and pulled Lita into his chest again and kissed her head.

"She is the Princess of the Moon, she had her diplomatic reasons for coming." He explained rubbing her cheek.

"It didn't sound like a diplomatic visit." Lita mumbled and tightened her hold on him.

"Princess Lita." Darien started but Lita interrupted him.

"Darien I thought that we weren't going to use titles anymore." Lita protested.

"I was trying to make a point." Darien chuckled. "Princess Lita I told you three months ago that at my parents anniversary ball that I will tell the whole Universe that I am in love with you and that I'm going to marry you." Darien smiled and kissed Lita deeply.

"Darien…" Lita whispered as they parted but Darien stopped her.

"Lita don't." Darien said and kissed Lita again. Darien could feel Lita's smile as she wrapped her arms around Darien's neck. "Now, how did I ever get so lucky?" Darien smiled.

"That's a good question." Lita joked.

[Flash back]

Lita and her fraternal twin sister Mina were seventeen when they were going to their first ball on the Moon. Even though they were sisters Mina was the Princess of Venus because their father would have been the king of Venus if he didn't marry their mother and abdicate the thrown. There was no other heir for the thrown so when Mina was born she became the youngest Queen in the universe, but she cannot take the thrown until she is 21, therefore she became the princess.

They have been to the Moon millions of times since they were close friends with the Moon Princess, Serena. They wouldn't call her their best friends because they always saw each other as the best of friends that they would ever need. They were also very close friends with the other princess of the universe. Princess Ami was the princess of Mercury who was very smart and the sweetest out of all of the princesses. Princess Rei was the princess of Mars who was the most focus out of them and the hot head. Princess Rei and Princess Serena usually got into all of the fights within the group of friends.

Lita was wearing a bright green dress that clanged to her curves and then flared out at the bottom with black stilettos. Mina wore a strapless yellow dress with a corsets style top with white-strapped heels. This was their first ball that they were allowed to go to, which meant that it was their coming out ball. Every year there is a coming out ball of girls who come of age and are now considered apart of the "adult" social life. All five girls were excited and nervous at the same time. Lita and Mina met the other three girls in the gardens on the Moon.

"Oh my god! I can't wait to get in there!" Serena yelled in the gazebo and spun in the center.

"Calm down Serena we'll get there." Rei rolled her eyes at Serena.

"Rei just think about all the boys that will be opened up to us!" Serena giggled and pulled Rei up off the bench that she was sitting on and started dancing with her. Rei ripped her hands out of her hands and rolled her eyes again and sat down next to Lita.

"She's the Moon Princess for god sakes!" Rei mumbled to Lita. Lita smiled, she knew that the reason why Rei was a little moody was because she was nervous too. Serena pulled Ami out of the gazebo and started to dance with her through the flowers.

"She's just having fun." Lita giggled to Rei. Rei smiled and looked at Lita with a doubtful smile.

"She's having fun now, but if one of us gets more attention than her then it's the end of the world." Mina whispered to the both of them. Mina and Serena weren't that good of friends and even though Mina was younger than Lita she was very protective of her and in her opinion Serena had hurt Lita too many times over stupid things including boys.

"Mina!" Lita whispered.

"Oh Lita you of all people should know that she's right." Rei giggled.

"That's not the point." Lita shook her head. Rei and Mina were always the first to pick on Serena and Lita didn't want to deal with it tonight.

"Oh my god! Lita! Mina! Rei!" Serena screaming running back into the gazebo with Ami trailing behind her.

"What?" Lita asked.

"A very reliable guard just told me that two special guess are coming tonight!" Serena squealed.

"Who?" Rei asked showing a little more of her nerves.

"The Princes of the Earth!" Serena squealed again.

"Oh my god! Really?" Mina asked sitting up more. "They haven't been here in years." She added.

"I know! And some of the other girls have been telling me that they are hot!" Serena grinned. "The thing is that they won't be announced." Serena added.

"What? Why? All royalty are announced." Ami asked shocked.

"They wanted it to be a secret that they are even there so no one will know who they are unless they know them." Serena explained. "I'm going to find one of them and maybe get to know them better." Serena winked.

"Serena!" Rei yelled. "My gods you're the Moon Princess have some restraint." Rei growled.

"Oh Rei come off it! Have a little fun, one night of fun won't kill me." Serena snapped.

"It won't if it was only one night, but it's not." Rei snapped back.

"Rei are you calling me a slut?" Serena yelled.

"You said it not me." Rei screamed.

"Stop it you two!" Lita yelled over them. "Rei didn't call you a slut Serena plus you would have to sleep with the men for you to be a slut." Lita tried to calm things down. "And Rei let Serena have her fun and you'll have yours this night if for all of us." Lita smiled. Rei and Serena glared at each other again and then turned from each other just in time for the guards to come and escort them to the ball. They all waited at the end of the hall while on the other side of the doors the ballroom was filled with people waiting for them. The Earths Generals were there to escort them down the stairs and into the crowd. Lita was paired up with Nephrite, Rei was with Jadeite, Ami was with Zoisite, Mina was with Malachite, and Serena was paired with a Moon General.

"I am pleased to welcome the Princesses of the universe!" An announcer said to the crowd in the ballroom. That's when Lita knew that the show was about to start and she held her breath. "Princess Ami of Mercury." He said and the ballroom doors opened. Ami and Zoisite walked through the doors and down the stairs. "Princess Rei of Mars." He said and Rei left just like Ami. "Princess Mina of Venus." The announcer said and Mina left. Lita took in a deep breath as the announcer took him his own. "Princess Lita of Jupiter. Lita walked in to he light and the whole ballroom was lit with millions of candles that the whole room was light as if the lights were on. Everyone in the room eyes were on her and Nephrite, mostly her. Lita felt like her heart was going to pop out of her chest she was so nervous. She prayed that she wouldn't trip as she walked down the stairs and she tried not to look down at her feet. Remember hold your head up high and don't look down. Lita heard her mother's voice in her head. If you get nervous then take a look around the room or just look at your sister. Her mother told her. Lita looked around the room and saw mostly familiar faces, which was a relief a lot of them were her parents' friends and other girls that she knew. At the landing they were supposed to pause and smile and then continue as the announcer gave some background of the girls as they walked. Lita couldn't even her the announcer everything was muffled to her. As she stopped she felt this heat rush to her, it was the feeling that a person gets when someone is looking at them. Obviously the whole room was looking at her, but she felt like someone was staring at her intensely. Lita looked around to find the person, but she couldn't as she was taking her last steps her finally found him. He was tall with dark brown hair it was almost black; his eyes were deep ocean blue. He was just staring at her, not even caring that she was staring back at him. She finally tore her eyes away from him and kissed Nephrite on the cheek like she was suppose to and stood next to Mina as Serena made her way down.

After the introduction the ball continued on and the girls headed on her own way besides Mina and Lita.

"I kinda want to find one of the Earth princes." Mina whispered to Lita. Lita had to giggle.

"Oh no not you too!" Lita joked.

"Well it's not just that I want to find one of them, I want to find Andrew." Mina rolled her eyes at Lita.

"Andrew? Why only Andrew?" Lita asked.

"Well, I've always had a crush on him, when we were younger I mean." Mina shrugged her shoulders.

"Mina we haven't seen them since we were 10." Lita rolled her eyes and headed towards the refreshments.

"I know but he was so cute!" Mina giggled as she walked with her sister.

"Ok Mina go find Andrew, I hope you fall in love, get married, and have a lot of babies." Lita joked.

"One could only hope." Mina winked and headed into the crowd. Lita could only chuckle to herself as her little sister walked into the crowd looking for her Prince.

Lita felt like she needed some air, since she had been talking to anyone and everyone who came up to her. Lita walked out on the balcony and looked up in the sky like she always does.

"You look like you're looking for something." A male voice said from behind her. Lita turned around quickly and saw the man who was staring at as she was walking down the stairs. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you." He smiled. His smile was breath taking; she couldn't help but smile back.

"I just came out for some air." Lita explained, she didn't know why she even told him since he didn't ask.

"Yeah, it's pretty crazy in there." He said pointing to the balcony doors. "Especially if you're one of the girls of the hour." He smiled and again Lita smiled too.

"I know most of the people in there, some of them I saw just yesterday." Lita rolled her eyes.

"Well what about your friends, you might want to catch up with them." He shrugged and walked over to her and lean on the balcony. He was very close to her; it wasn't awkward or even weird for him being that close to her for some reason.

"Well I can easily see them any other time." Lita rolled her eyes. "I mean I came here just for show." Lita smiled.

"Parents." The man smiled.

"Basically." Lita nodded.

"So what were you looking at before?" The man asked.

"What? Oh!" Lita smiled and blushed a little. "I was looking for myself." Lita smiled.

"Did you lose yourself?" He joked. Lita laughed and shook her head.

"No I mean my astrological sign." Lita smiled and turned to him.

"Oh, and what is that?" He asked turning to her.

"Sagittarius." Lita smiled and pointed up into the stars. "It's right in front of us." She smiled. The man looked up and took Lita's hand and traced the Sagittarius consolation.

"Right there?" He asked.

"Umm yeah." Lita stuttered out.

"I'm sorry." The man said and let Lita's hand go. "That was a bit forward." He shook his head.

"No, it's alright." Lita giggled a nervous giggle and shook her head.

"Princess don't say it's alright." The man shook his head. "My I be frank?" He asked. Lita nodded her head. "It's not a coincidence that I came out here when you did." He smiled and ran his hand through his hair. "You've captured my attention since you walked down those stairs." He said and turned from her like he was embarrass.

"I know." Lita whispered. The man turned around in shock.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"I saw you looking at me while I was walking down the stairs, I thought that you saw me." Lita said quietly.

"I thought that you were just looking around at the crowd." The man smiled. "So you found me as I found you?" The man winked.

"Well it was more that I felt you staring at me." Lita smiled.

"Does that bother you?" He asked taking a step closer they were barley centimeters apart.

"No, actually." Lita smiled.

"Princess may I be forward? Again." He asked. Lita smiled and nodded her head slowly. The man smiled and rubbed the back of his hand down Lita's cheek. She smiled again and closed her eyes slowly. Then man leaned in and kissed Lita softly. Lita's eyes flew open; she didn't think he meant this. She pulled back in shock. "I'm sorry I didn't ask." The man said as he pulled back.

"No you didn't." Lita said a little angry, she was very interested in this guy but she was still a Princess.

"Oh there you are!" Someone yelled. They both turned to the balcony doors to see Serena standing there.

"Oh Serena." Lita smiled softly she hoped that she didn't just see the kiss.

"Hi Lita, but I was talking to him." Serena smiled sweetly.

"Princess." The man bowed.

"I see that you found our secret guess also." Serena smiled and walked over to the man and stroked his arm.

"Oh!" Lita said shocked.

"I hate to steal him away, but you don't mind do you?" Serena asked and looked at Lita like Lita shouldn't mind at all.

"Oh no, go ahead." Lita smiled and looked at the man again. She was praying that he wasn't Andrew Mina would kill her.

"Then Prince Darien will you follow me?" Serena said trying to be coy. Lita let out a little sigh; she was so happy that he wasn't Andrew.

"Princess Lita." Prince Darien bowed.

"Prince Darien." Lita curtsy and bowed.
