Endymion glanced around and seeing no help from the senshi, "Well, Small Lady, it's
like this."
Chapter 2: Explanations
"You know how we tell you to always say nice things about people? This is similar.
When people tell stories, they never tell it exact the same. Sometimes they remember
things differently or they add their own opinion. Over time, the story changes and
becomes nothing like what originally happened."
Endymion sat back in his chair, pleased with his response.
Chibi-usa thought for a moment, "Is that why Minako always mixed up her sayings?"
The senshi snickered while Venus looked annoyed.
"Sure is!" grinned Mars.
"Small Lady" interrupted Serenity, as she noticed Venus getting ready to voice her
opinion, "When did you hear the story of Selenity and Endymion? I don't remember
reading it to you."
"Well.." Chibi-usa blushed. "When I stayed with Ami, I noticed a book called Myths &
Legends. It had lots of stories in it. There was a piece of paper in it and when I opened
the book to that page, it was at the story of Selenity and Endymion."
Pink tinted Mercury's cheeks as everyone turned and looked at her. "I used that book
when we were trying to find the Moon Princess. Like Endymion said, there is always a
grain of truth in every story."
Jupiter gaped at Mercury. "How come you never told us? Did you know that there was a
prince too?"
Mercury's cheeks turned even redder. "It did occur to me that the Princess might have
had a love, but since Luna only told us to find the Moon Princess, I figured that either
they were together or the Princess would give us further instructions. We didn't have our
full memories." Mercury's voice trailed off in thought. "How did you find that book
anyway? I had it tucked away in the back of my desk."
Chibi-usa looked slightly panicked. A slight tinkling bell rang. Chibi-usa perked up,
dashed from her seat and ran to the noise. "Diana!" she scooped the little gray kitten into
her arms. "I've missed you." She glanced over her shoulder. "Mama, papa, may I be
excused?"
Serenity and Endymion smiled fondly at their daughter. "Of course" responded Serenity.
"Just please stay within the palace today. If you wish to go outside, please have myself,
your father or one of the senshi accompany you."
Chibi-usa hurried out of the room with Diana. Luna and Artemis leapt out of the way of
the fleeing princess and continued into the dining room. Each hopped unto a chair and
looked at the senshi.
"What have we missed?" inquired Artemis.
"Other than nearly being stepped on by your daughter! Serenity..she is becoming more
and more like you each day." complained Luna.
The senshi giggled while Serenity rolled her eyes. "We were talking to Small Lady about
the 20th century. Apparently she read the story of Selenity and Endymion in a book of
Ami's and was asking about it."
Endymion glanced at Mercury and noticed her preoccupation, "Mercury, is something
bothering you?"
Mercury frowned, "I was just trying to remember what happened to the book that Chibi-
usa mentioned. I don't recall ever seeing it once I hid it in my desk."
"Don't worry about it Mercury. After 1000 years, all are memories are a little fuzzy."
consoled Jupiter.
Mars looked thoughtfully at Mercury; "It will come to you. But I can see your concern.
Chibi-usa ducked out before she answered your question."
"Even if she took it, what harm could it cause?" Venus shrugged. "It's just a book."
