Endymion opened the surprisingly light door to reveal twenty something blank faces staring right at him; apparently he had interrupted the professor's lesson. "Eck-hem, may I help you?" questioned the wheezy old man standing in front of the board. Deciding that his fate was unchangeable, Endymion moved towards the man who he perceived as the teacher and handed him the convenient little piece of paper that explained his situation. After he was done skimming through and making affirmative noises, the professor pointed to a seat next to a girl with quite the peculiar hairstyle and asked him to sit down and partake in the lecture. Awkwardly Endymion maneuvered his belongings to the designated spot all the while still drawing curious glances from the class. Finally reaching his seat, he sat down only to discover he was surrounded by girls. At first glance, he could tell which one of them was the princess of the moon by the distinct characteristic of her hair, after all it was rather unique. "Good morning Serenity" he whispered, "I'm the guard sent for you, how do you do?" Serenity gave him a generic smile and turned back towards the professor with the least bit of interest towards him. Puzzled at first, Endymion decided that Serenity was right to listen in class and he shouldn't disrupt her learning process. However he couldn't exactly focus when he saw a tall brunette staring at him with open distrust; the expression was definitely not friendly. Serenity, placid as she seemed on the outside, was having an inner battle; he was the prince of Earth Endymion! Oh the king was sly but she figured out his plan; he didn't want to just show Earth's good will, he wanted a marriage alliance. Why else would he send his only son to 'protect' her? Well she wasn't going to have any part in it, period. And that Endymion pretending to be all nice and amiable, well she'll make sure any advances of his won't work. Serenity felt even worse, all this and Metallica to worry about…and she didn't even understand the lesson.
The bell rang shrilly but was barely heard among the bustle that came after class ended. Endymion decided now was a better time to talk to the princess and devise a strategy suitable for her protection. He caught up to her as she walked out of the classroom, "Princess Serenity, I'm Endymion at your service. Now concerning your safety, I believe that it is crucial for you to stay close to me; I made special accommodations for my room to be next to yours and therefore I could prevent any suspicious personnel from entering your room. But you must be inside before dark as--" Serenity cut him off at this point; the docile little princess who had quietly taken notes moments before was not happy, "I'm sorry Endymion but I have no intention of you protecting me. I have my guards who are also my friends as you can see," she pointed to the 4 girls who were only a little distance away, "and I really don't need anymore protection. Thank you for your concern but it isn't necessary." Serenity stated all this and was lost among the crowd before Endymion could react to her words. "Wait," he shouted puzzled; he stood there trying to remember his actions, what had he done to invoke such dissatisfaction? He contemplated his next course of action: should he go around campus looking for the princess or should he head to class? Well he figured the princess would be safe in broad daylight and with people all around, it was nights when she was alone that he was worried about. "Better get to class" he said to himself grimly.
Meanwhile, Serenity was walking to the fountain in the middle of the quad where the gang always met and within minutes, the rest of the crew met up and were relaxing. Mina, cheery as always was bouncing off the wall, exclaiming how cute Endymion was, "oh my goodness guys! When he walked inside the room, I thought I was going to scream out of happiness." "Oh no Mina, you would've chased him away and then Serenity wouldn't have someone to protect her" Raye said with a smirk. Serenity exhaled the breath she had been holding, and wailed undignified "Guyyyyyys…I can't do this! He's going to be tailing me and and and…" Serenity gave a long groan that was rudely interrupted by a sudden shadow casted on them. "Well well…" a nasally voice commented, "Princess, how are you." Serenity and company stopped their various actions and stared at the figure who turned out to be Beryl, Duchess of the moon kingdom. Serenity turned faint pink for her quite undignified sounds that she was sure everyone heard, "Oh Beryl, how delightful to see you! I've been great, and you?" Serenity exclaimed quite happily, Beryl had always been nice to her and they've been great friends as kids. Beryl gave a little smile, "Well so much better now we have a new hunk on campus. I'm sure we'll get acquainted soon…" and with a little wave, she was off with her posse. "I don't like that girl." Lita stated while still watching their retreating backs. "I know what you mean" Raye said distastefully, "Have you noticed how she completely ignores us, like we're trash or something?" "And I swear, she's the one who keeps leaving trash on my desk in Science class" Ami said in a huff before returning to her book. Serenity gave a mirthful laugh, "Oh guys. You're reading way too much into her; Beryl and I were best friends way back when. She might seem like she's a snob sometimes, but that's just her way." Serenity reassured her friends before she went to examine the school bulletin. Mina, Raye, Lita, and Ami gave each other a furtive look, Beryl was trouble and they knew it. Their princess was too naïve to do anything about it so in her best interest, they would need to take action.
