Disclaimer: I do not own this title. Plot is my own.

I am back under the Title that started my freelance Fanfiction career, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon! I've been busy under Attack On Titan with my titular romance Something Like This and I've begun the sequel Feeling Like This, but I wanted to write something under here once more. Writing this actually came a lot easier than I originally thought it would.

Background information: Think Sailor Moon Crystal characters with the OG characteristics.

Usagi is 17. Mamoru is 21. Ages of other characters, don't really concern me.

Oh and this is totally AU.


Princess Serenity sat atop the platform in the ballroom watching everyone dance in sync to the orchestra. She sat alone while her mother, Selene greeted other royalty. She rested her head on her knuckle and yawned.

Where are my friends? I hate sitting here alone.

It wasn't that she hated grand parties such as this one, she loved dancing and meeting new people. She loved attending these parties with her friends, the princesses from other planets.

These princesses were not just ordinary princesses, they were Serenity's guardians, led by the princess of Venus, Minako.

"You look positively bored."

Serenity's eyes scanned the person beside her. Princess Ami of Mercury stood to her side, wearing a long figure fitting pale blue gown with silver orbed earrings. Her short blue hair wasn't fancy, she opted for a natural hairdo.

"Mother is speaking with diplomats and I'm here watching the crowd, Ami." Serenity sighed sitting up straight and fluffing her blond bangs from her eyes. "I hear Rei is engaged. Is that true?"

"She is. One of the four Heavenly generals from Earth. Soulmates."

"Ugh." Serenity rolled her eyes at the thought. "Who wants their soul tied to someone they haven't met before?" Ami laughed gently at Serenity and her antics.

It was true, being born of royal or noble blood meant you were to marry a certain person. Nobody knew who their soulmate was until they met them. The experience had been described as strings of fate tying your heart to another for life. You are loyal and see no other person but them. It was a different sort of love, gifted from Aphrodite to destroy toying with the emotions of another.

Serenity despised this cycle. Not just because she didn't know who her mate was, but, due to her status and blood, it would quite an experience upon her existence according to her mother. Selene described the fated meeting of Serenity's father as though she was plunged into the darkest of cosmic energy and only for a warm radiant energy to expel from her body and give her new sight.

It didn't sound appealing to Serenity at all.

Her friends such as Rei were not so lucky. Jadeite, was one of the four generals of Earth. They were given the title Heavenly Generals upon approval from other leaders in the Galaxy. They served as guardians for the Prince of Earth as the princesses did for Serenity.

"You might be next Serenity." Ami reminded her.

"Doubt it, Ames." Serenity stated stoically. "I bet you end up with Zoicite if you haven't already."

Ami went from frowning to blushing furiously.

"Ah ha! I'm right aren't I?" Serenity grinned perking up at the idea. "It is fitting, Ami. He isn't ridiculous like Jadeite and not a pompous ass like Kunzite."

"Speaking of Kunzite, Minako was visiting Earth when they met during training. She was screaming at him when their bonding happened. Even after they realized it, she emptied ale over his head."

"How romantic." Serenity smirked knowing she'd have to tease Minako next time she spoke to her. "I guess that's why she isn't here tonight?"

Ami shrugged and removed herself to find something to eat. This left Serenity to her thoughts alone. Of course the princesses were finding their mates. She wondered if they were actually happy bonding that way. Were they in love at all? Or did they let nature take its course?

I'm falling in love with who I choose. Not who biology and fate dictates.

"Dear, you can go dance. You don't need to sit up here all night by yourself." Selene rejoined her daughter and sat down.

"Ami just told me the news. Rei is engaged to Jadeite."

"Ah, well her own engagement will be announced soon as well." Selene told her. " The Mercurian Ambassador said Zoicite has no qualms about a wedding on Mercury. He visited last week."

"Are you disappointed I haven't found my soulmate?" Serenity asked looking down at her feet. "You know how I feel about the subject."

Selene offered her a sympathetic smile and patted her shoulder. She believed there was no need to rush Serenity around the Moon until she felt the bond. It would come when the time was right. She just knew it. "It will happen when it is supposed to."

"Or I could just marry for love."

"Maybe you will be lucky to fall in love with your soulmate, Serenity." Selene looked around the room again and leaned back in her own chair. "You will accompany Princess Minako to Earth in two days as well."

"What?! Mother, you've never approved of me leaving the moon before." Serenity quirked an eyebrow and gawked at her mother. "I don't have the proper training to defend myself."

"You don't need to worry about that. You will be staying within the Middle Palace. Outside of Tokyo. Besides, if the threat is real, the Silver Crystal will activate on it's own." Selene assured her. "It will do you good to leave and see the world. Take Luna if you wish."

"Thank you, mother." Serenity bowed her head and smiled brightly. Selene returned her silver eyes back to the crowd and her sweet smile turned reluctant. An unmated Princess was fair game to those who wished to do harm upon the peace the Silver Alliance created. She had to hope Serenity would find her mate on Earth. Maybe if she took long enough to speak with a pilot while on their trip it would happen.


As planned, two days later a plane from Venus arrived carrying the princess of Venus accompanied by her advisor, Artemis.

Minako stood beside the outside of the carrier plane, her long blonde hair half back and tied with a red bow. She was popping gum in her mouth and tapping her foot. She could easily pass as Serenity's twin sister. Instead of the usual glittery orange gown, she wore black leggings and a knee length blue tunic over them.

Serenity appeared in the hanger shortly, her long blonde hair pinned in pigtails and wearing a knee length blue skirt and a long sleeve white top with a simple looking broach in the middle. Luna her advisor walked with her to the plane.

"You look cheerful this morning, Princess."

"I'm glad you talked my mother into letting me off this rock." Serenity hugged Minako and they boarded together. The plane accommodations were modest, chairs with seatbelts, windows on each side, bathrooms, and bunk beds toward the back. Serenity squealed in excitement as this was her first time leaving the Moon. "I am so excited!"

She wandered around the plane and looked at everything wide eyed.

"You'll like Earth, Serenity. Everyone is laid back."

"Is the grass as green as everyone says it is?"

"Absolutely! I know you love fine dining and all but they offer all sorts of different food." Minako told her about Sushi and pizza and then explained theatres to her. "Obviously, these Terrans have too much time on their hands to create these moving picture shows."

"You have to take me to see one, Minako."

"Or you may find your soulmate and he can take you."

Serenity pouted and plopped down in the chair like a child, "I don't want a soulmate, Minako."

"What?! Why not?" Minako scrunched her nose up at the declaration.

"I don't want to belong to someone I don't care about. It sounds cruel."

"Serenity, you'll understand when it happens to you. Sure I could still clobber Kunzite because he frustrates me, but I can't imagine not having him in my life." Minako attempted to explain. "You will care about your soulmate. It will feel right in every way. If you fall madly in love with him, that's a bonus."

"Whatever. Why am I coming to Earth with you?" Serenity asked watching through the window as the plane left the hanger and became airborne. Minako smiled and bit her lip before giggling. "What on Earth? what is it, Minako?"

Minako scooted to the edge of her seat and looked at Serenity with pleading eyes. "First, I wanted to ask if you will be my Maid of Honor?"

"Of course, Minako. You know I will!" Serenity smiled, so happy for her dearest friend. "What else?"

"Secondly, I don't really know how to ask this, I figured since you had more of a royal upbringing than I did you could explain something."

"Anything." Serenity promised her.

"What is bundling?" Minako scratched the top of her head and tilted her head embarrassed from her question.

"Are you serious?" Serenity sighed with an eye roll. "You're the direct descendent of Aphrodite!"

"Mother neglected to explain some things, Serenity! She was absent doing her divine duties as a goddess of love!" Minako reminded her. It was true. Minako's mother was graced with everlasting divine life to fulfill the duties of Aphrodite. Minako while a descendent, cannot take over royal duties because of her oath to protect Princess Serenity. She inherited powers of the Goddess however.

"I can't believe my ears. Ask Kunzite."

"He is the one who mentioned it to me."

Serenity deadpanned, "I'm going to have a long talk with him."
