Chapter 3

Serenity slept for most of the afternoon. It wasn't a completely peaceful slumber for she had dreams of the past. At least, these dreams were of the happy memories. Before dinner was about to be served, Serenity's eyes fluttered open. She reached behind her head to stretch her body, and sighed with content. It really did feel perfect to be home on the Moon again. Serenity removed herself from her comfortable bed, and wondered out on the balcony. It was the same balcony that Endymion would stand below at night to greet her. Of course, what they'd do afterwards was a secret.

"Milady?" A young servant girl called from inside. Serenity turned around, and walked back inside.

"Yes?" She asked politely, "What is your name?"

"Um, it's Holly, milady. Dinner is ready," Holly informed her. Serenity nodded, and went to change into a simple pale pink dress. Holly accompanied her down the corridor to the dining hall where the other soldiers waited. When Serenity entered, they all stood up from their seats, and bowed.

"Thanks, guys, but you don't need to do that," She said with a warm smile. They smiled back, and took their seats. Serenity sat in her chair at the head of the table.

Serenity looked around at the faces, but noticed two were missing, "Where's Luna and Artemis?"

"Oh, they won't be joining us tonight. They traveled to the nearby villages to check if the people were doing all right," Mina told her princess. Serenity nodded.

"Yes, I would do it myself, but...," She began, but stopped.

"It's all right, Rena, they wanted to do it," Amara said.

"Okay. Then let's eat!" Serenity said as she began to munch on her meal. It was delicious!

The girls talked casually as they ate. Once they were finished, they retired to the entertainment room for movies and popcorn. Before they did that, they all changed into more comfort clothes…like their pajamas!

The Earth

Endymion awoke to darkness. He looked over to his windows and saw that the sun had already set. He rolled over, and tried to go back to sleep, but failed. The king rose from his bed, and walked out onto his balcony. He looked up at the stars, but didn't look at them. His eyes were focused on the bright silver orb hanging in the night sky.

"Serenity," Endymion breathed into the air, "What do you expect me to do? You think I'll change by becoming king? You never knew that I broke up with you so you could be safe. I suffered more than you could understand because I dreamed of you dead."

When Endymion was prince, he would go horse back riding to clear his head. That's just what he needed. Endymion put his boots back on, and headed out the door to the stables. He saw his completely jet black mustang in his stable.

"Hey, Midnight," Endymion greeted his horse. Midnight whinnied lovingly. Endymion went in to get him ready for riding.

"Endymion, are you going riding?" Kunzite asked his king.

"Yes. Can't you tell?" He pointed out the obvious.

"Mind if I join you?" Kevin asked as he went over to his own grey horse, Knight.

"Nope," Endymion said as he mounted his own, Kunzite following his lead. Soon they were off.

"So, are you scared yet?" Kunzite asked trying to start up a conversation as he rode along side Endymion.

"Scared about being king, you mean? No. I know what to do. I used to study my father all the time," Endymion answered.

"Yeah, he was a great king," Kunzite commented. Endymion agreed. They rode some more in silence.

"Why did you end it with the princess?" Kunzite asked truly curious, "I mean, you two were so madly in love with each other. I never even thought of you two being apart."

"I have my reasons," Endymion said simply.

"What are they?" Kunzite pried. Endymion stopped his horse, and Kunzite did the same.

"Why do you need to know?" He asked. Kunzite just shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm just curious. You have to admit that it was a shock to everybody's system when you ended it with Serenity," He said. Endymion looked around in thought. He was silent for a few moments trying to gather his thoughts.

"I had dreams…no nightmares," He tried to begin, but didn't want to relive them.

"Nightmares of what?" Kunzite asked. Since when did Endymion get scared over a simple nightmare?

"Nightmares…of her death," Endymion said with a heartbreaking voice.

"What?" Kunzite asked stunned. Endymion only nodded.

"We were getting married, and I was about to kiss her. All of a sudden, everything starts to…break, and chaos runs wild. She's ripped out of my arms, and then she changes into Serenity. I see everything fall around her, and then nothing. This mysterious voice tells me to leave her alone or else she'll die," Endymion explain the dreams that have been haunting him for months. Kunzite just looked at his king.

"Wow," He said finally, "I don't know what to say to that."

"Seeing as how evil and all can get into our minds, I believed the voice. I didn't want her to die on my accord so I broke up with her," Endymion said with pain. Kunzite moved up closer to him, and placed his hand on Endymion's shoulder.

"It's okay, I understand. I guess now you just have to prove yourself again. I think this is only the beginning," Kunzite said.

"Yeah, I know," Endymion sighed, "Come, let's ride back."

"Okay," Kunzite agreed, and soon they were off towards the palace again. Once they returned to the palace they were greeted by three angry generals.

"Where have you two been? We've been worried sick!" Jediete scolded as he wagged his finger in their faces. Endymion slapped it away.

"Relax, Jed. We just went out for some air," He defended.

"Air? Air?! Well, you could have told somebody," Jed still went on.

"We did," Kunzite said looking over at Endymion.

"Really, who?" Jed asked eyeing them like kids.

"Each other," They said in unison.

"Each…other?" Jed tried to understand, "That doesn't count, you fools!"

The men laughed at Jed, "Calm down, Jediete. We only went out for a simple horseback ride. No harm there, right?" Kunzite said.

"Eh, I guess not, but next time…tell someone. We can't be as careless when we were teenagers. Endymion is king now," Jediete said with a serious face. The men just looked at him, and began laughing.

"We know, Jed! Since when, do you become all serious?" Nephrite laughed. Jediete just shook his head, and walked away. The guys began going after him trying to contain their laughter and apologizing.

You could hear the fun they were having through out the Golden Kingdom. Maybe becoming king wouldn't be as bad after all. Maybe it'll be nice to have their old lives back again. Endymion won't be as alone anymore.


Well, there ye go. Hope you liked that. It was simple. Once again, sorry for the wait. Give me some feedback, please. Some ideas too!
