Late Goodbye | Room 74,240 | Aphro as Needed

As the full moon shone through the clouds above, the entire kingdom of Seyruun seemed to glow under the sliver rays, only further illuminating the stunning white architecture of the city. It was a place of white magic, of goodness and truth, where all were equal and life was happy and prosperous. However, to the usually happy princess of the land,

Words like duty and honor were hanging heavy on Mercury's mind. She couldn't stay on the Earth, she knew that, and yet she'd allowed her feelings to grow for the Earth princess in spite of knowing she shouldn't. Was this how Serenity felt, any time she was caught visiting Endymion? She never thought she'd understand how the moon princess felt until that very moment. Sometimes it was okay to bend the rules, right

Their first meeting was one Mercury wouldn't soon forget, but it was the debate she had with herself that proved both frustrating and liberating all at the same time. To tell one of the Earth what she was could get both of them into trouble, but she couldn't conceive of lying to the girl, not after they'd become such close and dear friends. She'd even taken the matter up with Venus, who had already been following her anyway. Explaining her position, the kingdom on the moon, and the reason why she had to keep a low profile had been difficult, but without that last hurdle keeping her from opening up completely, it was if nothing was out of her grasp

Needless to say, Amelia had been a bit surprised when she was told the truth by the other princess about where she came from. Even for all her naivety she had a hard time believing the tale at first. However it didn't take too much coaxing, since she had no reason to think her friend would lie about something like that. She trusted her too much to have doubts, and it made her feel rather special to think that someone like this girl from the moon would come and visit her so often, nevermind fall in love with her

The only thing Mercury couldn't do, rather, hadn't tried to do, was sneak Amelia into the moon kingdom. How often she'd thought of dressing her up, passing her off as a servant or low ranking court member, but the risks were great. Had she not received the letter when she did, it was very likely she'd have made the offer within the week. A plan had been laid out, margins for error calculated, and of course a little help from a certain blond haired princess

While Amelia had did her best not to pry or pester the other princess too much, she was curious about the world she called home. It all seemed so unbelievable, like something out of a storybook. Needless to say if she had been offered the chance to go and see the moon kingdom for herself, there would have been no hesitation. She would have been genuinely surprised as well, considering how by the book her lover tended to be, and wouldn't want to force her to take any risks for her own amusement

In some ways it was the stuff from storybooks, at least that's how many people on the Earth had written it out. The presence of a kingdom on the moon startled some, angered others, but the majority accepted it as legend and folklore, unless visited by someone from that kingdom. They helped facilitate peace, guided those in dire need, and sometimes sneaked away to make friends as Mercury had done

Amelia had always had an over active imagination; that was how she ended up breaking free of the castle walls and wandering the world with her friends, with permission from her father of course. Stories of adventure and romance were ingrained into her mind, and being the optomist, she often believed in things that couldn't be proven with logic. If there was no way to disprove it, what was the harm in having faith
