A/N- So I've restarted this story. Trying to pick it back up. This chapter isn't very long, but it's up. The plot is starting to form and the story is going to start going. Thanks for being so patient! I don't know how fast this story is going to be updated, but I will finish it! For now, The Princess and The Pirate is complete and this is the rest of Darien and Serenity's story… or well the beginning to an end.

Warning- Sorry if I call Endymion Darien. Just know they're the same person.

Ffgirlmoonie- Happy to hear you like it!

LynGreenTea- I wrote more! Just like you asked.

Alexandria18- Let's stay with our favorite couple shall we? Glad to hear that you can place yourself in the story!

sereNendy- Thanks for the review! It's this story's turn since P&P is done. Don't worry, it's now being updated!

"Serenity, wake up." A voice called through the haze of sleep clouding Serenity's mind. She turned over and woke up to the blue eyes of the man she loved.

"Morning." She said with a sleepy voice. "Why are you here this early?"

"I want to take you to that spot I told you about yesterday. I told Mom and Dad where we'd be so they won't worry about us." Endy said. "I'll be outside, but be fast alright?"

"Ya, I'll be a couple minutes still though."

"I know." Endymion knelt down and kissed Serenity's lips before leaving the room so she could change. Endy was leaning on the wall next to Serenity's door when she finally made her appearance known. "The sun is almost up." Endymion joked.

"O shut up. Where are we going? I'm hungry."

"Well, if you're quiet and we can get out of here faster, then we'll be having breakfast soon." Endy said. He grabbed Serenity's hand and yanked her on behind him before she could say something.

They quietly exited the castle and scurried into the stable where Endymion's stallion was waiting and ready for them. Endy helped Serenity up before he got up behind her. The stallion stirred to motion and jumped into a gallop as soon as he was out of the stable. The couple left the castle grounds for the bordering forest. The stallion easily moved around the trees and rocks that were scattered in his way.

They finally stopped in front of a large field that had a small lake in the middle of it. There were different kinds of wild flowers speckling the field. Serenity gasped as she took the sight before her in. Endymion in the mean time just smiled and got down. He led Serenity, still on horseback, to the middle where he set up a picnic with different kinds of breakfast foods. Endymion finally lifted Serenity down who was still looking around.

"I found this place a couple years ago on a hunting trip. I was chasing a deer and it led me here. I left this place and the deer alone so I could keep it a secret."

"It's amazing." Serenity said, finally finding her voice.

"I'm glad you like it."

Endymion led Serenity over to the picnic area he had set up. They sat down and started eating as the forest came alive around them. The stallion wondered over to the grass near the lake and started grazing.

oOoOoOo

"My lords, Princess Serenity is not in her bed and one of her dresses is missing!" Molly said rushing into the room.

"What?" Seamus said getting up.

"Seamus calm down." Damien said patting his friend on the back. "Endymion has her. They went out for a breakfast in the forest."

"You could have told me this before the heart attack." Seamus said.

"We thought Endymion would have told you last night. He's been planning it since he found out you were coming."

"He never mentioned anything."

"Well, now we know where they are and they probably won't be back all day. So, what are we going to do about the pirates?"

oOoOoOo

"Sorceress! Come out! We wish to do business!" A group hollered. They all had similar purple cloaks covering them so they couldn't be recognized.

"Who are you and what do you want?" An old woman asked coming to the door. She was leaning on a cane and had a shawl over an old tattered dress.

"Who we are is none of your concern. We want a potion."

"Well, what kind of potion do you want? There's more than one kind."

"We want a love potion. One for the person to forget about someone and fall in love with someone else."

"It will be expensive."

"We can pay."

"It will be 5 diamonds, 12 jades, and 1 crystal."

"Here you are." A purple velvet purse dropped into the old sorceress's hands."

"And then…hm… where is it? Ah yes, here it is! Here is the potion." The sorceress gave the group before her a small purple vile. "Use only one drop. With each drop will come a new love until he falls in love once more with his true love." The group nodded and left without saying a thank you or good bye.

oOoOoOo

"That was so good Endy! Thank you for bringing me here." Serenity said as put her head on Endymion's stomach. Endy just mumbled his "your welcomes" and started rubbing Serenity's back.

They just sat in the tall grass watching the clouds drift by. Serenity would occasionally make a comment on how a certain cloud looked like some animal or other object. "Let's go for a swim." Serenity said.

"What?"

"I mean, the lake looks really nice and no one's around."

"So you want to go for a swim?"

"Yep." Serenity got up and slipped out of her dress so she was only in her shift. Darien took off his shirt and followed Serenity into the water where they resumed their relaxing times and idle chat.
