~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Flashback ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The wedding was a beautiful one indeed. It was a double, Jed and I, and Serenity and Endymion. It appears as though Endymion and Jadeite had the same idea about proposing. The other girls are still kind of jealous about being single, but the wedding plans helped their longing. I think they did more than the four of us combined!

I'll never forget the way Jadeite looked standing up there at the altar, though. That memory will stay with me throughout eternity. Gosh, he looked drop-dead gorgeous! He said I did too, but he thinks I'd look great in a flour sack. Men!

Two Days After The Wedding...

There was a soft tapping on my door. I looked over to the bedside clock to see if it might have been one of the servants. It wasn't. It was nearing midnight, too late for any servant in their right mind to be up. The tapping came again, this time a bit louder. I peeked at the sleeping Jadeite to see if he had been disturbed, and silently made my way to the door.

Just by opening it three inches I could tell who it was. Her silver hair that was always in two buns was now flowing freely down to her ankles. "Serenity? What are you doing up?"

"Oh, come on, Rei. I just wanted to talk with you. You know, one on one; woman to woman. Please?" she insisted.

"Okay, okay."

We walked down the hall a bit and turned into what used to be her room. Now it was bare and untouched. 'Such a clash to the way she likes things.' I mused.

"So, how's life been, Rei? Jadeite been a good husband?"

"I wouldn't know. We haven't been married long enough. How's it with you and Endymion?" I asked. We both sat down in the middle of the floor, Indian style.

"He's such a bed-hog!" I hadn't expected that, so I burst out laughing. "I swear, he is! Is Jadeite that way, too?"

"Sadly, yes. This morning I would've fallen out of bed if it wasn't for his arm pinning me down!"

"Same here!" and again, we both started laughing, then calmed down a bit to a giggle.

After an hour more of that, we finally said goodnight, and I slipped back into my room. I mentally kicked myself for leaving the light on; Jadeite was now awake.

"And just where have you been? You didn't sneak off with anyone for that hour did you?" he asked suspiciously as I climbed into bed beside him. I grabbed a pillow and whacked him with it.

"Are you stupid? Of course not. I was out talking with Serenity."

"About what?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"About how much you and Endymion hog our beds." That triggered a surprised look, until he tackled me. Then, unfortunately, started tickling me.

"Oh yeah? Well see how much of the bed I take up now!"

After a minute of that, I tried getting away from him. But he lunged after me, causing me to actually FALL off the bed with a loud 'thump'. I sat up and found him laughing.

"I don't hog the bed, sweetie." He finally managed.

"Then why are you the only one in it?" I asked as he helped me to my feet, then pulled me down to him.

"Because, you, my darling, fell out of it." a mischievous grin played around the features on his face.

"And you, honey, pushed me over."

"You want me to push you over?"

He bent his head and kissed me so passionately, I DID fall over. But it was onto the bed this time, and he followed. That was the last thing I remember. We both fell asleep on top of the bed; me lying wrapped up in his arms.

I woke up the next morning with an incredibly sore neck. 'Man, I wish you could see this coming before it does. I might've had a better chance to get used to it.' I thought glumly, gently rubbing the nape of my neck with my fingertips.

"You all right, sweetheart?" Jadeite asked once he woke up fully.

"My neck's just stiff; I'm fine." And then I added as a second thought, "What time is it?"

He craned his neck to check the clock. "It's almost 8:30. We'd better get dressed and get down to breakfast before they send a search party."

I was already up and moving once he said the time. I was up, dressed and had make-up on in record timing.

While we were walking down to the dining room, I heard another door open and slam. Then Serenity's silver hairs from her meatballs were bobbing side to side as she ran.



"Did you guys sleep in too?" Jadeite asked once Endymion and Serenity caught up to us.

"Yeah. You too?" Endymion asked, gasping between each sentence.

"Isn't that a little obvious? Sere, we are not talking that late at night ever again." I declared.

"No complaints are going to come from me." She stated proudly.

As we turned into the dining hall, I was shocked to see that we were the only ones in the room. 'This is really weird, there's not even the queen in here. We're not that late.'

"Oh, man. Did we miss breakfast? Where's all the food?" Serenity cried, again thinking with her stomach.

"Oh, there you are. The other girls slept in just like you four. What went on last night?" the queen asked as she took her seat at the head of the table.

I couldn't help seeing the blush creep up Serenity and Endymion's faces, so I said: "Serenity and I were talking late last night. That's why."

"Then, why didn't you men wake up on time?" She inquired.

"Are you kidding? They're men; they'd sleep forever if they got the chance." I blurted. I tried to avoid the glares sent my way by the guys, but the giggles that came out of Serenity and Seline was all it took to make me start. "But I don't know what happened between the other girls."

"Well, we're about to find out now, aren't we?" Seline quirked an eyebrow as the other six flew into the room. 'This ought to be VERY interesting'
