Chapter 3: Dance on the Moon
Serenity and Starlight had to change into serving gowns before they set off to work. The gowns were emerald green that slightly dragged on the floor. The top was short sleeved and there was a white apron over the front to protect the gown. All the servants that night were female, so their hair was tied up with emerald green ribbons. Starlight had her hair pulled back in a bun with the ribbon wrapped around it while Serenity's was in it's usual style with the ribbons wrapped around her buns. The little tendrils falling out framed her face. She not only looked beautiful, but felt it which made all the difference in the world.
Serenity wandered out just as the King and Queen were announced. (A.N. It doesn;t actually say if Endy has parents, but for the sake of this story he does!) The Queen was walking gracefully on the King's arm. She was dressed in a white flowing dress that that barely touched the floor. The sleeves were long and made a little ring around her middle finger. The entire dress was lined in silver. The King, however, was dressed in a midnight blue, almost black, military-looking uniform. This was lined in a bronzey-yellow color. They were great compliments of one another. 'The Queen is the star in the King's night,' Serenity thought sweetly. She blushed as Darien's popped into her mind. She brushed it away as she walked out of the room to get more wine.
The Prince was announced while she was in the kitchen. 'That's okay,' she thought as she smiled and curtsied to the nobles as she served drinks. 'I'll see him next time.'
As Serenity wandered around the room bringing wine to the guests of the castle, Endymion was deep in thought. 'She was so beautiful,' he sighed. 'How could she not know me? Especially if she works in the castle? Wait. She said she was visiting her cousin. Ah, that explains it.' Endymion reached up and touched the area where Serenity's lips had touched. 'I can still feel the tingling sensation. I must be in love. I've never felt this way about anyone. But, how can I win her heart like she has won mine?' Endymion smiled to himself. He got up off his throne, which was next to his mother's, to go get some fresh air.
"Where are you going, son?" Endymion's mother called to him as he was wandering away. Endymion turned around and smiled to his mother.
"I'm going to get some fresh air, mother," Endymion responded. He bowed deeply to his mother before turning on his heels and leaving for the balcony.
When Endymion left for the balcony, it went unnoticed by all except those he told and Serenity. He walked out onto the balcony and leaned against the railing. He closed his eyes against the cool breeze, which felt good on his face. He looked up to the moon and suddenly realized that it's silvery color was the same as Serenity's hair. 'She evidently wasn't born on Earth,' he thought.
"You know you shouldn't think too much," came a feminine voice from behind Endymion. He turned to see who the keeper of the voice was.
"Hi, Serena," he said, turning back around to look up at the moon again. She walked up to stand beside him. She also leaned against the railing with her slightly wet tray dangling from her right hand.
"I meant to ask you," Endymion said. "Where are you from?"
"Serenity turned to look at Endymion like he was crazy. For some reason, unbeknownst to Serenity, she thought he should automatically know. She thought that it was quite strange that he didn't know. Then, as suddenly as that idea had seemed crazy, it didn't anymore. Serenity shook her head to clear her mind of those strange thoughts. "Well, I was born on the moon, but both my parents were Earthlings," Serenity stated.
"If both your parents were Earthlings, how come you look like a Lunarian?" Endymion was puzzled by Serenity. It was strange that she looked like a Lunarian and her parents were Earthlings. It was also strange that her cousin didn't look anything like her. Endymion knew Starlight personally due to the fact that she was like a little sister to him. He had known her all of her life and never had she mentioned as aunt, uncle, or cousin named Serena. "Were you adopted Serena?" Endymion asked curiously. "I don't mean to be nosey or anything, but I just find it strange that you look like a Lunarian when your parents weren't. And it doesn't strike you as funny that you don't look like your cousin, who's half Satarian half Earthling?"
"I guess maybe I could be adopted, but I'll never know," Serenity stated, sadly. Tears welded up in her eyes as she turned her back on Endymion. She didn't want to cry infront of him.
"Why not?" Endymion asked, turning to face Serenity's back. He put his hands on her shoulders in time to feel her shudder. Not from the cold, but from sorrow. "I'm sorry, Serena. You don't have to answer that."
"I don't ,but I'm going to," she replied. She turned back around and looked up into Endymion's concerned face. "My parents were executed for being thought of as traitors. Queen Serenity thought that they were feeding information to the Dark Queen. That happened when I was about six, but the funny thing is is I remember everything about them."
Serenity's tears were falling silently down her cheeks. For some strange reason she felt foolish for crying. Endymion, however, brushed her tears away with his fingertips. He then pulled her into an embrace in hopes of helping to comfort her. "I'm sorry," he whispered, rocking her back and forth with the tempo of the music inside. "I'm sorry for your loss and butting in. I had no right to ask." They danced together for awhile, not knowing they had been discovered by Starlight.
Starlight shook her head in disbelief. 'How cans he know Endy? Maybe she met him this afternoon. But, she would've told me, right? By the looks of it, somebody has a crush and it would never work between her and the Prince. I'll have to take off the Band-Aids tomorrow,' Starlight thought very disappointed. 'I should have listened to her when she said it wasn't a good idea. It's not good to mess with people's pasts. I'm sorry Serenity.' Starlight took one last look at Serenity and Endymion dancing together in the moonlight before wandering back off into the crowd.
Starlight woke with a jump the next morning. Nothing caused her to do so, but her dream. When she fell back from her dream world to reality it felt like she was falling off a cliff, or, in this case, the bed. Brushing her purple hair out of her face, she turned to se Serenity quietly sleeping in her bed. She sighed of relief, knowing that Serenity didn't choose to do what she thought she might have done.
When Starlight looked at the window, she realized the sun was just coming up. She smiled at the beautifully colored sky. It was like someone dropped a tray of orange, pink, yellow, reddish orange, light blue, and dark paint on the sky and called it a masterpiece. But, it was beautiful, no matter.
Starlight turned to look at Serenity and remembered what she promised herself last night. Those Band-Aids had to come off or Serenity was going to do something she was going to regret. Endymion too, if he knew who she really was. Starlight sighed. 'I wish things could be different, Princess,' Starlight thought, regrettably. 'But, they're not, and I cant help you.'
Starlight quietly rolled out of bed and crept toward Serenity's bedside. Serenity's back was to Starlight and that was a risk she had to take because if she walked to the other side of Serenity's bed she might wake up. Starlight wearily reached over Serenity and slowly began to peel off the Band-Aids. Serenity didn't even move as this happened or when Starlight had to yank the last bit off. (A.N. OUCH!! It hurts a lot more when a little hair gets stuck and-) She let out a breath she hadn't realized that she was holding.
'Thank Serenity for her not waking up,' Starlight thought as she plopped back down on her bed. She then realized what she had just thought and began to laugh. She tried to muffle it , but was very unsuccessful.
Serenity sat up suddenly and crossed her arms. She continued as if everything in the past day hadn't even happened. "-take care of myself. Don't you?"
This caused Starlight to laugh even harder. "I don't see what you find so amusing," Serenity muttered.
"Well," Starlight said, finally breathing again. "It's been a whole day since you've gotten here. We went ice-skating and there was a ball we served at and-"
"O-M-G!!" Serenity said, jumping up off the bed. "I told you it wasn't a good idea! Now someone else is involved thanks to you!" Serenity began getting dressed quickly. She changed into her black commoner's clothing that she first wore to Earth. She then grabbed her emerald green cloak and threw it on. "I must explain to Darien-"
"Darien?" Starlight was now very confused. Her face scrunched up in thought as she pondered the familiar name. Her face then cleared as it dawned on her. "Ah, Darien. Or should I say Endymion. The Prince is one of my old friends. Darien is a commoner's name he uses when he doesn't wish to be recognized."
"What?" Serenity shook her head in disbelief. Starlight sighed as she got up and pulled on a dark blue cloak. Serenity pulled the hood of hers over her head as soon as Starlight dragged her out the door.
Starlight dragged Serenity through the halls. They stopped infront of a mahogany door. Starlight knocked on it as Serenity looked around the hall. She guessed that she must be somewhere in the northern wing. The door opened, but Serenity didn't pay that much mind until she heard the familiar voice.
"Starlight?" Endymion asked, looking at her with a confused and sleepy face. "What are you doing here? It's too early."
"Please explain to Serenity why you lied to her," Starlight replied, pulling off Serenity's hood. Serenity finally turned to Endymion with a confused look on her face.
"Prince? As in Prince Endymion? You lied to me?" Serenity not only looked confused anymore, she looked hurt. She felt betrayed, but so did Endymion.
"Serenity? Princess Serenity?" Endymion was shocked. How could he not notice it before. He found his eyes wandering to her forehead where the crescent moon was located. "Lied to you?! Look whose talking!!"
"Excuse me, *Prince*, but I didn't know!! When-"
"Um, Endymion?" Starlight interrupted, sheepishly. Both turned to her, their attention completely focused on her. "Endymion, it's truly my fault. You see, when you put Band-Aids over Serenity's crescent, she loses her memory and needs a new one. as you probably noticed before, Serenity had a couple of Band-Aids on her forehead. And she probably told that a shelf of some sort fell on her. I just thought you should know that I was the reason Serenity 'lied' to you."
Endymion turned to look at Serenity. He didn't know what he should say, but he could see the anger rising up in her again. Knowing arguing in the hall would probably wake the entire castle, he pulled Serenity and Starlight into his room.
Serenity was surprised by this and it caused her to lose some of her anger. Enough anger was lost for her to look around his room. Black drapes were slightly cracked open. By what Serenity could see, it faced the lake. There was a large closet in one corner of the room. His king-sized bed was drenched in black. His sheets and comforter were tossed aside from a quick jump out of bed. On the other side of the room was a couch, two chairs, and a coffee table. The couch and chairs were black leather and the table had a black stand with a large piece of glass on top of it. Serenity then turned to look at Endymion. She finally realized as she looked at him slumped over, that he was only wearing some tight black jeans and no shirt. It also dawned on her that he had a dark side to him. Endymion was a puzzle that Serenity felt she must solve.
"I understand, " Serenity said, causing Endymion to look up at her in surprise. "I understand why you lied. I'm not angry, but I'm still going to leave today. It will be best for all of us. Sorry for troubling you. I must go pack."
Serenity left the room quickly. Starlight walked to the door. Before she opened it she turned back to look at Endymion. "I'm sorry, Prince. I didn't want to lie, but it was best," Starlight replied. She sighed before walking out the door. She closed it quietly behind her.
Endymion didn't move for awhile. He just stared at the door, hoping the silver-haired princess would come back. 'I know now,' he thought, sadly. 'I just wish I could have told her. I love you.'
"Serenity," he sighed, lying back down in bed. Endymion pulled the covers back himself when his head hit the pillow. He fell into a restless sleep that was full of images of one person. Serenity.....
