Dear all. Now you might be surprised seeing this story again. This was the very first fanfiction I had ever written. I like to think since then my English got better and maybe my way of writing as well.

Since so many of you loved this story, I thought it deserved a bit of update. Without changing anything in the story line I decided to correct some of the mistakes and generally bring in a bit more of what now I know about writing.

Working on it is not my priority as I have several other fanfictions I want to finish but every now and then when I have the time I will work on this one as well. The full story is still available here on fanfiction with the same title so anyone who does not want to wait for my "upgrade" on it can read the story. So then, enjoy (:

Chapter 1

The horses were ready to go. The saddles in place, the straps tight under the horses' belly. Endymion stood patting their necks in satisfaction. He had wanted to check the four horses himself. He didn't like to ride any other horses than Midnight, his black stallion, but he couldn't do anything about that right now. He had to wait until he was at home again and, taking into consideration the situation at hand, that was still quite some time away.

A small smile played across his lips as he thought about what had happened at the party last night. That it was surprising was the understatement of the year or better yet the century. He and Kunzite had never thought the ball could ever end the way it did.

Endymion, the bachelor, the man who had never been with a woman longer than for 2-3 months, got married! And his wife was no one else but Princess Serenity, the only daughter of Queen Serenity, the Princess of the Moon! When the people are going to hear the news they will be shocked. Him… married…even he had to laugh when thinking about it.

He would never forget Kunzite's face during the small, short wedding and he definitely couldn't wait to see what his other 3 Generals would look like once they finally arrive home and they find out he was married. When Kunzite and he had come to the party they had had no idea that the Moon Royal Families would be attending it as well. None thought it was possible. They had never come before to the Earth. Well, after what had just happened, who knows really? It had been after all a masquerade and masquerades were one of the favorite types of balls on Earth. It could very well be that they had attended many such balls before. Only nobody had known about it.

Endymion's smile widened. Who would have guessed he was going to meet his soul mate at a ball?! Soul mate…he would never have believed it if it didn't happen with him. Shaking his head he took a deep breath. His life had just gotten very interesting.

Sounds, small and light steps coming from the direction of the house. Endymion turned to see the 3 people making their ways towards him. Serenity had her long silver hair in that funny Meatball style that was so well known to be her style. Her sky-blue eyes were angry and stubborn as she stared at him, her mouth sat in a straight line. Well, she wasn't too happy about this either it seemed. From now on she had to live with a man she knew nothing about because he was her destiny. Yeah sure… soul mates, who felt never ending love and desire for each other. Fairytale only little children believed in… He definitely did not.

Well, he didn't have a problem with the desire part to be honest and neither did Serenity. He could feel it from their link. A link that had magically bounded the two of them all of a sudden last night. A link that was new to both of them. But yes, he could understand desire but love...? Love was something he had never understood. He had never felt love before. Could this little, delicate beauty change it? He did not think so.

"Sere, you should really hide your hair. It could give us away if someone who didn't trust the moon sees us," Mina, the Princess of Venus said suddenly interrupting his thoughts. Endymion turned his attention towards the other woman. She also was a rare beauty with long blond hair and blue eyes. If Endymion hadn't met Serenity, Mina surely would have caught his attention. But in comparison to Serenity, she was just beautiful while the Moon Princess was gorgeous and interesting.

"Oh come on Mina! I have already told you, it isn't necessary. I can protect myself just fine." Serenity said dismissing her friend's concern.

"Can you?" Endymion asked mockingly. "I am not that sure about that. Anyway, Mina is right. We have to hide that hair of yours. On Earth none has silver hair. It is a dead give away. A risk we cannot take." Endymion added sternly. Without waiting for her response, he put a sea-blue headscarf around her hair and knotted it under her chin. Of course, the problem wasn't just with the silver hair; nobody on Earth had such white skin, such a delicate figure, such…there he went again…well that angelic beauty you could never hide.…

Serenity stared wide eyed at him, frozen like a deer in headlights. The link that tied them together since that very first kiss at the party, worked just fine. She could feel his desire for her. What scared her more, was that she felt the same way! She had never ever felt like this before. She had just wanted to go to that stupid masquerade, Mina – like always – joined her. Her friend was always up to a ball. It had been a real surprise however, when her mother had joined them as well. Of course now thinking about it, Serenity wouldn't be surprised at all if it turned out that her mother had known what was about to happen.

It had started just fine, like any other party on Earth; full of fun, laughing, and dancing. Then this black haired, blue-eyed demon had arrived. Serenity still saw red when she thought about it. They had been drawn to each other from the very beginning on. Their eyes had met across the room and from then on, there had been no turning back. Everything had happened so fast; a dance, a kiss, and then this weird link had formed. Their energy mixed with a bright burst. Her mother had felt the reaction of the Silver Crystal immediately. Soul mates…

Her destiny was now with the Earth prince. Serenity flushed thinking about what had happened next. Once they had discussed everything, her mother insisted on it. They weren't allowed to touch each another until they were married. It had been also clear with the amount of desire vibrating between them that it had to happen fast. The ceremony had been at dawn by the rules of the moon and now, she had to go back to the Earth Palace with Endymion. They were soul mates, that was what her mother said. They were the main characters of the legend. And the legend stated that they were to lead the Solar System to the Time Of The Peace. Their love would be the greatest love ever known. That was her destiny… It just never said they were going to meet at a ball and marry in a rush… Never the less, her mother seemed to be sure about it and she had to marry Endymion, this dark haired, handsome devil who kept staring at her with such intensity it awoke something warm and unfamiliar within her.

Kunzite coughed and the couple broke the eye contact at least. Endymion was thankful for his friend's interruption for once. He had been so caught up in what he had seen, what he had felt through his link to the princess he had forgotten where they were. He knew that Serenity didn't know that she opened the door to her feelings through the link. Her thoughts, her fears, her desire… it all ran through him with such speed Endymion's mind was still spinning from it. His fingers were still under Serenity's chin, his face just inches away from hers. That was just too much of temptation, he decided. He leaned down and kissed her hard on her lips before he took a step away from her. He noted with a boyish smirk that Serenity was more than shocked. Well, they were married; he could do whatever he wanted with his… wife.

"Well then, we can go," Kunzite murmured rolling his eyes. This whole situation they got themselves into was crazy. Standing here with Endymion's wife… well that was crazy… more than crazy. He had never thought that his Prince would ever marry. He was a player, a charmer, a Don Juan… Married, dear God, the hell must have frozen over. However as he glanced at the princess standing next to the horse, he couldn't help but smile. Now if the prince had to marry, it was no surprise at all that his wife would be the most beautiful woman in the galaxy.

Finally, in silence the group slowly mounted the horses and took off to begin their journey which would change the history of their world.

I hope those faithful fans of the story are happy to see this coming up again and getting a well-deserved upgrade on the chapters (:
