A/N : NoI don't own sailor moon but that cute little prince darres is all mine...


Not the Sharing Type

A few hours later as the sun rose higher in the morning sky the young Prince Darres found himself in a most peculiar position. He racked his brain as to how he had ended up in his current position and why exactly he felt like he didn't want to get up.

Usually mornings were his favorite time of day, the perfect time for mischief and playing but as he brought a hand up to his eyes to rub the sleep away from them he noticed he was to alone in his bed, or rather he was not in his bed at all but in one of the many guest chambers of the palace. Rolling his head to the side he found to his delight that Bunny was curled up beside him and had haphazardly thrown an arm around his waist in her sleep.

'Hmm, now this is something new' Darres thought to himself as he returned his head to be facing the other direction with a slight blush on his cheeks.

'How did I end up here? The last thing I remember is sitting by the stream with Jadeite and Bunny at sunset and now all the sudden I'm back at the palace safe and sound in the morning? I must have missed something.' He thought dejectedly; mad at himself for falling asleep and possibly missing something fun.

'Oh well I guess it could have been worse, they could have left me out there…' his thoughts trailed off as Bunny stirred at his side.

"Well good morning sleepy head" she said a little groggy from just waking "had a nice nap last night did you little one?" she smiled down at him with her arm still around his waist.

He looked up at her smiling face and was at a loss for words

'um…what am I supposed to do now?' he pondered to himself and just answered Bunny's question with a slight nod as a light shade of red crept up his face to his cheeks.

"Well good then, lucky for you Jadeite was nice enough to lead me back to the palace last night, seeing as my guide seemed to have stayed out past his bed time." She giggled softly at him and his blush deepened as he sat up in bed.

"Does that mean you don't want me to show you around anymore Bunny? He asked turning his head from her almost in tears for fear of messing up something important. 'Mother did make it my job to show her around after all' he thought to himself 'some guide I was.'

"Don't be silly little one you did an excellent job yesterday, I would be honored if you would accompany today as well." Serenity said sitting up herself and looking at the little boy beside her. "In fact I believe I was invited to a picnic lunch today with General Nephrite if you would like to join us, he did say there would be a small company of people, I'm sure one more would not change anything too severely." She offered in attempt to make him feel better.

Darres turned back around quickly with a huge grin on his face, "Really? You mean you still want me to be your guide even though I messed up?" he asked hopefully.

"Of course I do little one" she said and gave him a hug to prove her point. "Now how about you be a good little guide and let me get a bath and some fresh clothes before you show me where we can find some breakfast?" she told him with a smile.

"Okay, but does that mean I have to take a bath too?" he asked making a face at the suggestion.

"Yes, you have to take a bath too little one, you don't want to smell like the horses we rode last night all day today do you?" she asked as she got out of bed and helped him out of the large bed also.

"But I like horses…" he started but was cut off by Serenity

"I like them too but it's not very much fun to smell like them is it?" she chided the young boy. "Now go take your bath and I'll take mine and you can meet me back here afterwards ok? Then we'll have a big adventure in finding breakfast, what do you say?" she asked kneeling down in front of him holding out a hand "Do we have a deal?"

"Deal" he replied as he shook her hand.

Serenity pulled her hand back pointed him towards the door and gave him a light smack on the behind as she yelled "Now on your way, the sooner you take your bath the sooner we get breakfast."

He all but ran out of the room in excitement and yelled a quick "see you soon" over his shoulder before disappearing behind the door.

'What a handful that one is,' she thought to herself with a smile. 'But I was no different at his age from what I remember, oh to be young and carefree again' she let her mind wander as she made her way into the bathroom connected to her room and prepared her bath.


While running down the hall in his excitement Darres didn't notice the dark figure at the end of the hallway watching him until he was right next to him.

"And where are you going so early little prince? " A voice asked him from the shadows. Darres froze in his steps and turned to face the person addressing him.

"I am off to take a bath if you must know, why do you always have to bother me in the morning big brother?"

Endymion stepped out from the shadow he had been lounging in and stared down at his little brother. "You never willingly take a bath, so what are you really up to this early? Not playing a trick with the servants again I hope, you remember what happened last time" he asked taking in his appearance. "And why are you still wearing your clothes from yesterday? Fall asleep in the stables again? You kind of smell like a horse" he mocked his little brother.

"No, I spent the night with a friend is all and I am not playing any tricks today, I have more important things to do." He answered defiantly crossing his arms over his small chest effectively depicting his annoyance.

"More important than eating with the family again?" Endymion questioned, a gleam in his eye. "Father noticed you were missing last night, you know, as did mother. What exactly were you doing that was so important that you could not make it to dinner little brother?"

"Wouldn't you like to know" he answered his eyes full of angry defiance.

"I believe that is why I asked" he retorted with a smirk.

"Well it's none of your business so leave me alone and go find one of those silly princesses that love you so much if you need someone to pester." With that said Darres turned on his heel and ran the rest of the way to his room without even a glance back at his brother.

'Hmm seems as though the little guy is growing quite the back bone. I wonder what he really was doing last night' Endymion turned away and started down the hallway in the direction Darres had run from. 'Oh damn I forgot to ask Darres about the girl he was with yesterday, I just know he has something to do with my angel never being around when I am and it's probably his fault I haven't found her yet, he never was the sharing type, wonder where he gets that from? .'

Resigned to the fact that is his little brother will always find some way to annoy him Endymion continued walking down the hall toward Andrew's door and the small group of men he had gathered to search for his mystery angel.


Darres did as he promised and took his bath only complaining a little during the process and hurriedly ran to dry off and change his clothes so he could get back to Serenity and hopefully be in time for breakfast.

He did not like the thought of facing his parents alone about why he missed dinner last night but with Bunny there he might just be able to face them. He dressed in an emerald green tunic that matched his eyes and matching pants then grabbed the last of his clothes on the way out the door to meet back up with Bunny before breakfast.

Serenity was not the type to lounge around in a bath when there were things to be done elsewhere so when Darres knocked on her door after pulling his boots on in the hallway Serenity was already bathed and ready to go in a blue dress and her hair hanging around her shoulders, with a slight curl at the bottom of the long locks. Darres got a funny feeling in his stomach when he saw her and blamed it on his nerves to go talk to his parents.

"You look very nice little one, now that bath wasn't so bad was it?" she laughed as she left the room and closed the door behind her. "Now lead the way little prince, my tummy is talking to me and saying that it is in need of food."

She surprised him by taking his smaller hand in her own and gave him a smile before she looked both directions, sniffed the air and started off towards the right. "My tummy says this is the way to breakfast so let's go." And together they were off towards the great hall and the wonderful smell of pancakes wafting in the morning air.
