Ummm...if you haven't figured out by now that I don't own Sailor
Moon...that's kind of sad.

Let's Start at the Very Beginning

-CHAPTER 10-

Gaia looked from Terrance to Endymion. He looked up to meet
her questioning gaze. Terrance stepped up and repeated;

"Gaia, we need to talk. How about we have that drink that
we never got a chance to have last time?"

"I'll just leave you two-" Endymion started.

"No. I want you to come too." Terrance took Endymion's hand
in his left and Gaia's in his right. Gaia, finding her voice
after the shock of seeing Terrance again, spoke.

"What is this all about Terrance?" She asked with a hint of
confusion. Terrance did not meet her gaze.

"You'll just have to wait."

"Terrance, I have a right to know-"

"As did I Gaia!" Terrance yelled suddenly. He stopped
walking and faced Gaia. She gasped when she saw anger and hurt
in his brown eyes. Endymion was staring at the both of them.

"Why didn't you tell me that Endymion is my son?" Terrance
asked obviously very hurt. Gaia was taken aback. 'How did he
find out?'

"How did you find out?" She asked looking at Endymion.
Terrance pulled Endymion closer to him.

"Endymion did not tell me. My Guardians and I figured it
out." Terrance looked hurt. "Why didn't you tell me?" Terrance
asked.

"Endymion, I think that you better go so that Terrance and
I can talk alone." Gaia said. 'I don't want Endymion to hear
this yet.' Endy was about to go when Terrance spoke up.

"Endymion stay here." Terrance said. Now Endymion was
confused. 'Who do I listen to? Mother or Father?' It was clear
to both parents that he did not want to disobey either one.

"Terrance, Endymion does not need to hear this."

"I think he has a right to. As I have a right to know why
you kept him from me. And also why you did not tell me when you
were going to the last time we spoke." Terrance stated firmly
having a firm, but gentle grip on Endymion's hand so that he
would not move. Gaia took in a deep breath and closed her eyes.
She proceeded to tell Terrance every single thing. She told him
that she was going to surprise him for his birthday but had gone
home to find Serpentiara and him together in bed. Gaia then told
him that she had been willing to tell him when she had been
ready to leave but then had heard Serpentiara telling Terrance
that she was pregnant. She had been so hurt that she could not.
She then told him that she had seen Serpentiara give birth to
Judis and had immediately felt an evil presence around Judis and
had a gut feeling that he would try to hurt or even kill not
only Endymion but Terrance as well. Gaia then told him of her
struggle to tell him over the years that they had been
separated, but she was just too scared.

"...and the last time that we talked I would have told you
but I felt an evil presence. I feel that even though I did not
tell you that Endymion was your son, the person, or thing,
figured it out as you did. Now I fear for Endymion." Gaia opened
her eyes and her tears fled them. Endymion let go of Terrance's
hand as he nudged his father to go and to comfort his mother.
Terrance soothed Gaia into his embrace and stroked her hair.
Gaia reluctantly pulled from his embrace, but he still held onto
her hands.

"Endy, we need to go now." Gaia said.

"Why can't he stay with me?" Terrance said.

"I can't bear to be without him. Not being with him for
these two weekends has been very difficult."

"How do you think I feel? If you were to come back to me we
could both see him everyday." Endymion went over to his mother's
side.

"Please Mother Earth?" Endymion pleaded.

"I'm sorry love." She said to Endy and Terrance. "It's not
you Terrance. It's-"

"Judis, yes I know." Terrance said sadly. Gaia took
Endymion's hand before Terrance could do anything.

"Good-bye Terrance," Gaia said, "my dearest love." She said
the last words quietly. Gaia and Endymion disappeared in a flash
of gold light.

Terrance stood there, a single tear dripped down his cheek
before he wiped it away.

"We'll be together again Gaia. You'll see." He whispered
into the night. It blew away with the breeze.

-Meanwhile back in Atlantis-

Princess Serenity was waiting in the gardens again. This
time she had told her mother where she would be and why. Since
Queen Serenity knew that she was already developing a bond with
Endymion, she decided that her daughter could wait for Endy. So
Serenity now sat in the rose gardens where she had seen the
bright light come from the last time Gaia went to pick up
Endymion. She did not have to wait as long as she did the last
time. There was the bright golden light and she once again heard
Endymion and Gaia.

"Endy!" She called.

"Sere!" He called back. They ran to meet each other.
Serenity noticed that there was something wrong and brought it
to attention.

"Endy, what happened?"

"I'll tell you later Sere." He said as he grabbed her hand
and led her to the palace. Gaia sat alone in the rose gardens
sad and alone until Queen Serenity came to see if they had
returned.

"Gaia, what happened?"

"He knows." She said simply.

"So it was him that found out."

"Yes, but someone else did as well. I was talking to
Endymion just now and he says that that girl Beryl kept on
calling him 'prince-ling'. I feel so horrible! When we left, I
hurt Terrance and Endymion by making Endymion come back with
me." Gaia paused, allowing herself the time to calm down.
"Speaking of leaving, do you know when you have to leave?" Gaia
asked, trying to get off the painful subject.

"Probably Friday. It would be best if I was punctual for
the assembly that has been set up to honor the new advisors of
my daughter and of the younger Sailor Senshi. My daughter is
already being tutored by Luna, but the two advisors will be
moving into the palace. The older Senshi are leaving tomorrow to
go and finish preparing."

"That's what they have been preparing for. Mercury told me
that they were working on another project this week besides
trying to figure out how to prove Judis is not Terrance's son."

"Yes. I'm sure that it will be quite interesting to have
two talking cats in our midst on a daily basis. Well, we have
both had a long day. Why don't we retire to our chambers?"

"I think that would be a splendid idea."

-In the shared room of Endy and Sere-

"What's wrong Endy?"

"I really would like for my mother and I to go and live
with my father, but she refused."

"I have never met your parents. You must introduce me. Does
either one of them work here?"

"It's somewhat complicated to explain."

"Alright." Serenity dropped the subject because it was
obvious that Endymion was not keen on discussing the matter of
his parents. 'I hope Endy's okay.' Serenity thought holding onto
his hand as she drifted into sleep.

-Next Morning-

Endymion once again woke up early to practice training.
Jedite, Nephlite, Zoisite, and Malachite had given him some
helpful tips while practicing in the morning. He was so
preoccupied practicing the new moves that he failed to notice
someone watching him.

Serenity had woken up and felt oddly cold. She saw that
Endymion had gone. Wondering where he could be, she started to
search the palace. Out of no where, an image of Endymion in the
courtyard flashed passed her eyes. She decided to go and see if
he was. Indeed, there he was. She silently watched as he moved
with a strength she had never seen while watching the moon's
soldiers practice, or the Sailor Senshi. Serenity knew that
there was something very special about Endymion, just like
herself. It was amazing to watch him. After about half an hour
he finally stopped practicing. With his attention no longer so
focused on practicing, he finally noted the presence of someone
else watching him. He looked over to see Serenity smiling at
him. Endymion smiled back.

"You're an amazing swordsman." Sere said; Endy blushed.

"How could you tell the stick was supposed to be a sword?"

"Your moves. Why didn't you tell me you could move like
that?" Endymion just shrugged. He walked over to her and grasped
her hand.

"Come on, let's get something to eat." She nodded and they
left the courtyard to go to the kitchen. They went to the
kitchens and got their breakfast. When they finished, the two
started to walk idly around the palace.

"The Senshi are leaving today. Why don't we go and say
goodbye to them." Serenity suggested.

"Good idea." They walked in silence until they found the
Senshi all waiting in the main hall.

"We came to say goodbye to you guys since you're leaving
today." Endymion said.

"It was really great to meet you Endy. I hope we can spend
more time with you soon." Amy replied.

"Yeah, we need to teach you how to fight like a man!" Lita
said. Serenity tried hard not to laugh. Only Endymion noticed
her, and he had the grace to blush. Lita thought that he was
blushing at her comment.

"Well, you're always welcome at Mars." Raye smiled. 'He's
kinda cute.' She mused.

"Will miss you buddy." Mina gave him a "V" for victory sign.

"It was a pleasure ladies." Endymion hugged all four of his
new friends.

"Bye you guys. I'll see you soon." Serenity hugged and
kissed each of the young Senshi.

"Are you girls ready?" Queen Venus asked as she and the
rest of the older Senshi, Queen Serenity, and Queen Gaia arrived
to say their farewells.

"Yes we are." All of the girls chorused.

"Goodbye girls, I hope to see you soon." Gaia said and then
she turned to her friends. "Thank you for all of your help." She
hugged them all.

"We'll see you soon." Queen Mars quipped. With all of their
so longs said, all of the Senshi stood in a line.

"Venus-"

"Mercury-"

"Mars-"

"Jupiter-"

"-Power!" The Senshi transported from Atlantis. The powers
of the Senshi created a multi-color light. The flash reminded
Princess Sere of the gold light that she saw both times that
Gaia and Endymion had appeared from no where.

"Gaia, are you a Senshi too?" Sere asked.

"Not that I am aware of. Why do you ask?" Gaia said
puzzled.

"Well, I have seen you and Endymion appear from no where. I
just thought that you knew how to transport too."

"I do know how to transport."

"Oh. Do you have special powers like my mom then?"

"Yes, I do." Serenity remembered something that her mother
and herself had talked about not too long ago.

-- --- Flashback --- --

"Mother, how come you have powers like the Senshi, but are
not considered a Senshi?" Queen Serenity smiled at her daughter.

"You are so inquisitive my child. I could be considered a
Senshi in reality. I have the power to become one, but yet I
have enough power with my Silver Crystal so that I do not need
the extra power."

"So, if you wanted to, you could become a Senshi?"

"Yes."

"How?"

"Each planet has its own defender. The Sailor Senshi. I am
the Moon's defender. If I channel the Crystal's power, I could
transform to become a Sailor Scout."

-- --- End flashback --- --

"Sere. Sere. Sere!" Endymion waved his hand back and forth
in front of Sere's face. "Are you okay?" He asked worried about
his friend.

"I'm fine Endy."

"Okay." The two ran off to play.

-That Friday (The day the Serenitys leave)-

The two children were embraced in a tight hug.

"I'll miss you Endy."

"I'll miss you too Sere." They let go of each other.

"Good-bye Endymion."

"Good-bye Gaia."

"Good-bye Queen Serenity."

"Good-bye Princess Serenity." After all of the good-bye's
were said, Queen and Princess Serenity held hands.

"Don't forget you're coming to visit me soon!" Sere called
to Endymion.

"I won't." With a flash of silver light, the two vanished.

"Come on Endymion, it's time for you to go to your
father's."

"Will you stay with me?"

"Endymion you know that-"

"-you don't feel comfortable staying around my father when
Judis is around. Yes I know but-"

"No Endy. I can't. It would be too hard for me."

"What if Judis wasn't there?"

"That's not going to happen."

"What if it did?"

"Then yes, I would stay." Endymion got a mischievous grin
on his face. This did not go unnoticed by his mother.

"Endy, what are you thinking?"

"Oh, nothing much."

"Don't lie to me." Gaia said sternly. Endymion brushed back
his "brown" hair and twiddled his thumbs. "Endy, tell me."

"I will not tell you what I am thinking until you go and
live with father again." Endymion smiled sweetly at her. Gaia
rolled her eyes at her son.

"Nice try. Not going to work though."

"You can't blame me for trying though." Endymion said
somewhat sadly. Gaia took his hand and they disappeared like
Queen Serenity and Princess Serenity had done just moments
earlier.

That chapter got rather boring. Sorry about that. Just to let you
know, there will be a big time jump between chapter 10 and chapter
11. I would have put more into it, but this way it'll be a little
bit shorter. There is still a lot more to come. I hope you enjoyed
the chapter despite it's lack of activity. The next chapter is
better. Please review! - Jelp
