Prince Endymion woke to the bight sunrise. He hand his strong
fingers though his ebony-black hair as he stared at the sun rising over
the ocean. "Endy!" Endymion's head turned to face his head General,
General Kunzite. Kunzite smirked at his prince's half-naked appearence,
Kunzite walked over to Endy and patted him on the back, "Your mother wants
you to come to breakfast." He stated simply as he leaned against
the door oppiste Endy. They stood there for a minute until Endy walked
into his room and got dressed. As they walked to the dinning room,
they ran into the other generals: General Zocite, General Nephite, and
General Jedite.
As all five men entered the hall, King Terrian and Queen Terra were
conversing as a young girl sat beside the queen, just playing with
her food. "Hello Mother, Father," Endymion said as he gently kissed his
mother's cheek and looked over at the blond and smirked. "Goodmorning
Princess.." of meatballs he added mentaly as he sat down beside her, and
his generals filled in the other emtpy spots. Endymion
glaced at the young princess next to him. She was young, she was 16, but
from her physical appearence you'd guess she was 12 or so. She had
deep blue eyes, and sunshine yellow hair, her skin pale, and no curves.
"What will you be doing today Serenity?" Kunzite asked, breaking the
silence coming from her lips. She looked up at him, if not
believe he was addressing her.
"Nothing, General Kunzite, may I be exused your highness?" Princess
Serenity asked as she stood from the table and face the King and
Queen. The Queen looked her over, and nodded with a saddened look in her
eyes. Everyone watch the retreating form of the Moon Princess.
"Honestly, you boys need to be nicer to her!" Terra motherly stated
eyeing her son, and the Generals. Each wiggled uncomfortably
under the queen's glare. "It's a hard time for her, and if you don't stare
treating her better, maybe she would be better back on the moon."
Kunzite glasped at her comment, the other Generals seemed to sense the
harshness of the comment, but Endymion didn't seem to care.
"Mother, you're over reacting. Just because you and Queen Serenity
are like sisters, and Princess Serenity is promised to me, doesn't
mean I have to care! I want her to be free to choose, I want to be free to
choose." Endymion yelled, standing up so quick that he knocked his
chair over. "The attacks on Serenity's life were nothing, probly just some
joker tring to scare the Universal Assembly into subbmittion. I do not
like Serenity, and I will not marry her, and I will take bNO/b part in
her hidding away. Terra stared in disbelife at her son, as did Terrian,
and
the Generals. Everyone's eyes followed his back as he stormed out of the
main dinning hall.
"He just doesn't understand... and he must..." Terra Whispered and
Kunzited nodded.

Serenity wondered out onto the beach beneath Endymion's window. She
silently sat on the hot white sand, staring out at the deep
blue ocean. Wathcing as the waves hit the shore line. A lone tear slided
down her face as she remembered why she was here.....
