Thanks: thank you to everyone who email me ^_^ and thank you for the reviews at Fanfiction.net...and thank you to all my crazy friends!! You're the best!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ano...I think I did it~!!!...YEAH!!! I finished a fic!!! MWHAHAHHAHA....in your face you psychopathic moonies with the spatulas, missiles, laser guns, magic wands, chainsaws, and whips!! :P awhhh...you know I love ya ^_^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~Serenity~~
The NERVE of that cat!!!
Getting me to.....UGH I can't even say it! It's inhuman!
I tugged at the huge puffy dress and attempted to breathe in the tiny corset. What is this the medieval ages?
I hop out of the hut dressed in that catastrophe, and held my head up high, as the guards dragged me to a huge and I must say, beautiful flower bed. There was a rainbow of flowers, in shades of blue I've never seen, the Varity surpassed the flowers behind the castle gates. It suddenly reminded me why I decided to leave, it was all for the adventure and beauty of the outside world.
I sighed heavily, while quickly glancing into the mirror. I look like a cream puff. No matter, it wasn't like I had very much dignity in this place anyways. I marched outside, to a ghastly surprise. There was not a unicorn in site, just men, women, and children of all ages. All with alluring different shades of white, with sharp golden eyes. I looked around in fright, I don't think the plan was going to work anymore...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~Endymion~~
When I stepped outside, I was not the least surprised, I knew that they were able to transform in and out of unicorn state. However, long ago, I found out too late. I brush away the past, it wasn't a time to think about it now. Now he had to get Usagi out of this place, in one piece.
I pounced and crawled my way to her shoulder. The big Victorian dress she dragged on, seemed to bring out the feminine side of her. She was perfect, just the way a princess should be.
The unicorn people started to move about, the ceremony would start soon, and so would the plan.
Sorry Princess, for all the pain and sorrow I have caused you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~Serenity~~
Strange, I felt, or heard a voice. A voice of sorrow, a voice of guilt. It was too familiar, it whispered to me, 'Sorry Princess...' I snap out of my translucent state and walked where the people guided me. The plan was almost in action.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The unicorn people gathered, Serenity was nervous and in extreme fear, what happened if the plan didn't work? She looked for Endymion, who was on a branch nearby, watching with sharp eyes.
"The ceremony will begin." Stated a voice.
Usagi began to count, like Endymion told her to.

Serenity grabbed her skirts and ran like the wind.
The unicorn people were baffled, the prince was seeing red.
"GO AFTER HER!!"
They mumbled formalities and changed into unicorns and went after her. A stampeding herd of unicorns were abruptly halted at the entrance of the strange path. It was sweet grass, their favorite. Lost in their love of sweet grass, the enraged prince went after the human himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Endymion ran close behind Serenity. He chuckled at the same stupidity of the unicorns that let him get away like last time. Sweet grass, what a laugh. Serenity was less amused. The gigantic dress was everywhere around her, her hair fell out of her bun and was everywhere in her face, and the confining dress was cutting off her supply of oxygen, causing a burning sensation in her chest. But she couldn't stop. But fate decided else wise, she stumbled and tripped, flying and landing painfully.
Endymion dashed to her side.
"Princess, Princess, are you alright?"
Face still in the ground, she looks up at him and smiles.
"I'm fine Endymion. And please stop calling me princess!"
Something glittered in Endymion's eyes, every time she told him not to call her that.
They only stared for a second, but something between them came to realization, but neither of them paid attention to notice. A thunder of hoof steps came thundering down. Usagi took a few precious seconds to get up, but didn't run as Endymion started to.
"Princess, what are you doing?"
Serenity glared at him before answering, "They are faster than us, it would be better if we hid for cover."
Endymion turned away to contemplate on her idea, he nodded his furry head and ran with Serenity for a hiding spot.
Their hiding spot was a bush of herbs, making it practically impossible for the Prince Unicorn to find them. He passed them, as Serenity and Endymion held their breath. Endymion's cat nose wasn't very fond of herbs, it cause him to sneeze, turning the enraged unicorn back to their direction.
Serenity was wide-eyed, and her brain scrambled for an escape. However she wasn't fast enough, for the Prince Unicorn (in human form) stood over her glaring silver eyes made her shudder, just thinking about the ice that brimmed it. The unthinkable happened, Endymion leaped at the prince like a wild cat, and screamed for Serenity to run.
Serenity froze in shock and terror, but her human primal instincts jolted in her, she dashed, tears escaped her eyes as a combination of fear and betrayal shook through her. The only clear thought pumping through her brain, was Endymion.
It felt as if she ran forever, the fabric in her hands became soggy with the dampness from her hands and the surrounding air, her breath was short and rasp Serenity finally decided she was far enough away. Catching her breath, she realized, how much she missed the strange talking black cat. Usagi simply cared to much, to forget about him, without another thought, Serenity hauled her skirts again, and dashed back to Endymion.
Serenity made it just in time to see the Unicorn Prince over power Endymion. He was knocked painfully to the ground, he staggered to get up, but his limps gave up. Weak and in trouble, it was the final blow, the Prince was going to crush the black cat under his hooves. Serenity scrambled for any form of a weapon, and spotted a fairly large pile of rocks. With a naturally born good right swing, Serenity flung the rocks at the surprised Prince. The Unicorn Prince was enraged, only getting a few stomps at the stupid black cat it was simply too many disturbances, but the rocks hit him hard, and soon he turned over in great pain, then slipping unconscious.
Serenity stopped throwing the rocks wide-eyed, as she realized, the Prince was down. Putting down the rock in her hand, and stumbled next to the bruised cat. Serenity whispered his name, over and over, but no reply.
"Endymion, Endymion, please please don't leave me!"
Serenity curled the limp body against herself hoping that he was just fine. Several minutes passed, and nothing changed. Tears spilled over Serenity's eyes and into Endymion's fur, Serenity would not say goodbye.
Serenity kissed the kitty on the pink button nose, and whispered, "Thank you Endymion, you were a great friend, more than you'll know."
Sadly, she placed him down, and got up to gather a few wild flowers in the area. A bright blinding light, enabled her. The light luminated brighter in reaction Serenity shut her blue eyes, and opened them to a most different sight.
A young man, around her own age, lay in the space that Endymion had occupied. He had black midnight hair, and the same curious blue ocean swirling eyes. Eyes that turned to Serenity, she stiffened under his gaze, to surprised, and hopeful do much else. He sat up, and slowly moved closer to her, she didn't move, still taken by his blue gaze.
"Usagi?" His rasp voice whispered in question.
Serenity nodded stiffly and was taking by surprise again, as the gentleman kissed her hand still looking into her clear blue eyes, and pulled her into a warm hug. Serenity yelped his name, 'Endymion' wrapped her arms around him in response as he whispered to her, the story of a prince that was cursed for trespassing across the Crystal Lake and was punished by being turned into a black cat, named Prince Endymion.
Tears stung Serenity's eyes, as he whispered tenderly to her, "Be with me forever, Marry me, Princess."
But she couldn't.
"No. I'm sorry." Serenity strained. How could she ever? She was not the princess for him. She was plain, with no talents, considered the least important...Why does he want to marry her?
She pulled away from him, heart ripped apart, along with his own. How could he express, how much he loves her?
"Why?" He cried out in pain.
She stood, and backed herself away, tears in her sky blue eyes.
"I am no proper princess. I am plain, ordinary, with no beauty or talent. Why would you want to marry a person with little significance?"
For once, he shouted loudly.
"NO! You're wrong Serenity...YOU ARE WRONG...You are TRULY a princess, not only because you are born of birth right, but by heart." He softened a little, and walked closer to her shaking and shivering form, "Don't you see? No one would be kind to a black cat of curses. Only you, in all the years, trapped as a cat no one taken the time to befriend me and care for me. Serenity that is a true princess, a princess of heart! That is why, I Love You So, My dear Princess."
She looked up at him, flushed, and confused. She had never heard such beautiful words come out of anyone, especially directed to herself. He looked longingly back, waiting for her answer, some sort of acceptance. She leaped into his arms and began to laugh. Endymion's heart was ready to burst, she accepted him, a cursed cat, and now as a human. He held her tightly and kissed her softly. As the kiss ended, Serenity's face broke into smile, and she whispered to his ear, what he longed to hear... "I love you too, Endymion"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They traveled back to Serenity's family castle, hand-in-hand, very much in love, to a shocked council and family. Endymion, heir to a large rich state, handsome as ever, asked the plain princess Serenity's parents, for her hand in marriage. The Council members nearly fell over, some even attempted to offer one of the more pleasant princesses instead. The king and queen sat at their thrones and watched the two lovebirds, and knew that he was the one that could match their wonderful daughter. The two sisters ran to Serenity and asked questions of her adventures, she gladly told stories, as Endymion cracked a few jokes, and embarrassed his princess, only to have in return a painful nudge from her.
And They Lived Happily Ever After, more so than most fairytales told.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE END ^_^
So minna..........did I do justice to the original?
