Love Doesn't Always Come First

Last Chapter - Serenity and Endymion had an spellbinding
experience with each other when they danced.
Chapter 4
Finally the party ended and all the guests went home excluding the Sailor Scouts and the Guardians of Earth (a.k.a. the bridegrooms: Malachite, Zoicite [as a man], Jadeite, and Nephlyte) and its prince. They stayed in the guest rooms of the palace. Serenity quickly said goodnight to her friends and asked her new mother-in-law where her room was at. She showed her the way through a long hallway and Serenity got ready for bed. As soon as she entered the room, she noticed that there was only one king sized bed and that a man's things were added to her own. Serenity thought to herself, "Oh no. There is no way in hell I'm going to sleep in the same bed as a man that I just met 12 hours ago!" She let her hair down, put a pale pink silk nightgown, turned off the light, and went to sleep. Five minutes later, Endymion walked in. He looked at the sleeping Serenity and groaned. He snatched some pillows and went to the linen closet and grabbed the only blanket available. (Hey! Do any of you know of any word that rhymes with blanket? I was just wondering because I was writing a poem and couldn't think of anything. So, on with the story. Sorry.) He walked back to his room and changed into pajamas. He threw the blanket and the pillow on the floor and settled in. He shifted uncomfortably then... silence. Serenity, hearing Endymion thrashing around, got up and looked at him. She felt guilty for making him sleep on the floor and pulled the comforter off the bed and gently draped it on him. She muttered goodnight and went back to sleep.
Endymion awoke first. He noticed the comforter on him. He smiled. (*****Attention all readers! Major corniness coming up! This is not a test!*****) "At least my wife has a heart," he thought to himself. (Did you all survive it? Good.) He left to eat breakfast. Serenity awoke late and had no idea what time it was. She got dressed into a long, pale blue, flowing gown and carefully pulled her hair into two piles on her head and let the rest flow freely. She wandered through the halls until she reached an enormous room where she could hear familiar voices. As she came in, everyone at the table stood and greeted her. She blushed. She had no idea she was the last up. Endymion had to resume the role of the husband so he gave her a solemn nod and carefully pushed in her chair. The Sailor Scouts saw this and started teasing her and giggling. Serenity turned a scarlet red and mouthed the words, "shut up" to them. Since the wedding just took place , there was no real rush to do business. So Endymion told Serenity and the Scouts to tour the palace. They went from room to room, "oohing" and "ahhing" over the beauty of the castle. In one of the living rooms, hung a handsome portrait of Endymion. He stood tall, his dark blue eyes shone with delight. Serenity gazed deep into his eyes and realized that she had seen that happiness in his eyes. She stayed in the room while the Scouts kept on going. She stared at the portrait with hearts in her eyes. Then she realized what she was looking at. "What am I thinking? He's not that cute. And he's never looks kind and pleasant. He's always cold-hearted," she chided herself, "Now, where did the Scouts go? Great, I'll never find my way through these rooms." She gave Endymion's picture a final glance. She wandered down the great halls, looking at the portraits of the past rulers of Earth. She continued until she reached the gardens. She gasped when she saw an enchanting rose garden that took up much of the courtyard. Wandering in amazement, Serenity tried to find her way through the almost-maze of high roses. She walked around the corner of a wall of sweet-smelling roses and almost fainted from fright and surprise.
Oh no! What happened? I'm going to leave off here. Until next time. - Dreamberry
