Chapter Three: Oh the Frustrations!

Minako eyed the couple amusedly as she watched both Serenity and Endymion turn a deep shade of red.

"Minako-chan, hi! I uh, we um…may I introduce you to Prince Endymion?" Serenity stammered nervously.

With raised eyebrows, the Vesuvian Princess eyed Endymion.

Clearing his throat, the prince stuck out his hand.

"Nice to make your acquaintance uh…"

"Minako," she filled in breezily as she accepted his hand and gave it a firm shake, "Princess Minako of Venus to be exact," she added.

Returning her gaze towards Serenity, her eyes began twinkling mischievously.

"Well Serenity, I HAD come looking for you to see if you wanted to join us for lunch, BUT, I can see you're busy."

She eyed Endymion and winked as she headed back out the door.

"I'll leave you two alone now!"

She walked out, but suddenly popped her head back in.

"Oh," she added with a sly smile, "If you two are planning on continuing your little making out session, I'd advise; GET A ROOM!"

"Minako, wait! It's not what you think!"

The sound of Minako's giggles and clicking heels was her only response.

Sighing frustratedly, Serenity turned and gave Endymion an icy look.

'This is all YOUR fault!" she screeched, thumping him hard on the chest.

'Now she's going to go babble to everyone that I was all over you!"

She raised her hand, as if to hit him again, this time however, he grasped it before she could.

"And tell me princess," he murmured as he pulled her close once again, "Isn't that EXACTLY what was actually happening?"

Serenity tried unsuccessfully to yank her hand away from his iron grip.

'No it wasn't what actually happened!" she said through clenched teeth, "If I'm not mistaken, it was YOU who practically assaulted me!"

Rolling his eyes, Endymion merely smirked.

"You have GOT to be kidding me little princess," he replied amusedly, "One kiss and you scream assault? Next thing I know you'll be screaming rape on our wedding night!"

"Just try me!" she shot back, fury burning deep in the blue of her eyes, "I don't know if you know this Prince, but I know how to get rid of men easily. I've had suitor after suitor in the past, all have tried to bed me, yet none have succeeded. Tell me, what makes you feel any different from those men? Do you actually think that just because I'll be your wife I'll willingly give you my virtue?"

She gave an empty laugh, still looking into his eyes with an unwavering gaze.

"Face it Prince, you may have me as your bride, but I won't be a trophy wife for NO ONE, so you can try all you want, but you'll never have me."

With eyes full of mischief, Endymion dipped her head back.

"We'll see about that Princess," he whispered before his lips fell upon hers for a second time.

He had only intended to give her a short teasing kiss, enough to flare her anger even more. But there was something about the Moon Princess' lips that made kissing her addicting. He couldn't help himself as he deepened the kiss, smiling against her lips as he felt the princess in his arms slowly give into it. Holding on to what was left of his self control; he forced himself to pull away and glance at Serenity.

He smirked triumphantly as he took in the sight of her flushed cheeks, the hazy look that her eyes held; the way her lips were slightly bruised.

"Still think I won't be able to have you Princess?" he taunted, watching as she seemed to return to reality.

"You practically give yourself to me with one little kiss; I'm sure that by the time our wedding night comes, I'll be able to have you screaming my name out to the heavens!"

Serenity's eyes finally focused on the smirking prince before her.

"So you kissed me, big deal," she said, crossing her arms stubbornly, "It's the last one you'll ever steal!"

Endymion was surprised to hear softness in her voice. Curiously, he tilted her chin up and was shocked to see unshed tears in her eyes.

"Hey, are you all right?" he asked, not really sure why he was so concerned.

"No, I'm not!" she suddenly cried out, "You just stole not only my first kiss, but also my second!"

She turned, as if to run away, but once again, he caught her by the waist.

"THAT"S why you're crying?!" he asked incredulously.

It wasn't until he saw her glaring at him through her tears that he felt his heart lurch.

'So much sadness,' he thought, 'But over a KISS?'

"It was only a kiss Serenity," he tried to reason, "Besides, it was a kiss, from me, and you know you enjoyed it."

You arrogant ass!" she yelled. "You just don't get it do you? It doesn't matter if I enjoyed it, I wanted my first kiss to be from someone I loved!"

She eyed him with eyes as cold as ice.

"And let's face it," she added, "I don't love you; I've known you for what? Fifteen minutes?"

Endymion opened his mouth to speak, but she ignored him and rambled on.

"Like I said, I may be your betrothed, but the fact still remains, I could NEVER love someone like you."

Before he could react, Serenity broke free from his hold and ran out the door, leaving Endymion alone in the throne room feeling stunned, and for the first time in his life, rejected.

O.O.O

"Oh my god, they were actually making out?!" exclaimed Makoto.

"Shhh! don't let the whole palace know!" chided Minako.

"But in the middle of the throne room?!" Makoto blurted out once more.

"Shhh!" Minako hushed again.

"Oh Mako-chan, you act like a thirteen year old, you're eighteen for crying out loud!" scolded Rei.

"Well I'm sorry!" she apologized sheepishly, "It just that it's not every day that our little Serenity gets her fist kiss!"

She sighed dreamily and fell against Minako's headboard.

"I still can't believe it though," she added, "Serenity is getting married to the Earth Prince, and she going to leave us!"

She suddenly broke out in tears, much to the other girls' surprise.

"Don't cry Mako-chan," soothed Ami, "I'm sure we can still see her even if she will be living on Earth."

Nodding sadly, Makoto wiped away her tears, then faced the inners with a warning look.

"If word gets out that you three saw me cry, I'll personally make sure that you three never see daylight again."

"Don't worry, our lips are sealed, right girls?"

Ami turned towards Minako and Rei, who merely smiled innocently.

"We promise!" they replied in unison.

But as the four headed out of Minako's room; Minako, Rei, and who would've guessed it? Even Ami, shared secret smiles and crossed their fingers.

Ha! They now had dirt o the oh so brave Sailor Jupiter!

O.O.O

Silence filled the large dining room as silverware and wine glasses clinked. A the head of the long table at which they dined, Queen Selenity regarded her daughter suspiciously, watching as Princess Serenity ate quietly, occasionally shooting the man across from her dagger like glares.

Looking from Serenity to the man she was eyeing so wickedly, the queen sighed.

"So Endymion," she began, hoping to lift the awkward silence, "Did you enjoy the gardens?"

The prince of Earth stared at Serenity intently before meeting the queen's gaze.

"I'm afraid I didn't get the chance to see them Your Highness," he replied, "Your darling daughter gave me the slip in the throne room."

'You lying jerk, you know perfectly well there's more to the story than that!" Serenity accused.

"Serenity!" Queen Selenity scolded, "That is not a way for a lady to speak, especially to her future husband!"

Ignoring her mother's words, she pushed her chair back and stood.

"I don't give a damn if he's going to be my husband! I'll speak to him as I please!"

With that, the fuming Princess stormed out of the dining hall.

All eyes turned to Queen Selenity, who was burying her face in her hands.

"Please forgive my daughter's behavior," she requested, "I know it is deemed unforgivable."

"I'll go talk to her,' Rei offered, about to push her seat back.

"No, I'LL do it," Endymion cut in, "Excuse me."

With a slight bow of his head, he took off in the direction he'd seen his feisty bride to be run off in.

"This girl is going to the death of me…"

O.O.O

A/N: Well, there you have it. I know, it's not quite as long as other chapters but with school having started I'm already up to my neck in homework.

Also, my SAT's and AP exams are coming up in a few months so updates for both of my stories might slow down a bit. In the meantime, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and thanks to all of you who have reviewed, your reviews mean everything to me!
