"Endymion this is Andrew." She went to the door and joined Andrew.
"Sere, what's going on?"
She turned to the rest of the group, "I'll be back in one second." She led Andrew outside and shut the door behind them. Leaving Darien, Endymion, and Rini in an uncomfortable silence. "How much did you hear?"
"Almost the entire thing," the handsome blonde said.
Serenity sighed. "I'm sorry I never told you, but I didn't think it mattered anymore. I've left Endymion in the past and you are my future." She held up her engagement ring and let it catch the sun.
"I'm glad, but... Was the King really that bad?"
"He was a horrible bastard to me and left me alone when I needed him the most."
Andrew nodded. "I want you to know I love you no matter what your past was."
"I love you, too." They kissed in the middle of garden with the warm sunlight falling around them. She pulled away and Andrew handed her a pink rose. "I know you've got to go back to your children now so I'll see you tonight."
"Good-bye," she waved and turned reluctantly back to the house. She stepped through the door back into the uncomfortable silence.
All three sets of eyes looked up at her.
"I see you've moved on," Endymion said with a look of regret on his face.
"And why shouldn't I have?!" She yelled angrily.
"I didn't say you shouldn't have!"
"You didn't have to!" She hissed. "You don't love me anymore and I know why you're here! The commoners don't like to see a king with no family. They think you're strange. You came here to pick up you're old family to make you're image look better. Well I don't think so. My children and I are not second choice garbage and Andrew loves me for me!"
Endymion did not say anything. He didn't admit, but he didn't deny it either.
"Is it true?" Rini asked.
He looked at her with a look of being caught.
"You bastard." She said and stormed up the stairs.
Darien stood and looked down at him, "Leave my mother alone. We don't want to see you and we don't want to know you. Get out of our house."
Endymion stood and went to the door. He looked back at the strong boy- no man- who was his son and at the woman he once loved. She was standing beautifully in anger with her jaw set. He whispered, "I'm sorry," and shut the door.
Serenity turned to her son. "Thank you Darien."
He hugged his mother, "Don't worry. You'll marry Andrew soon and we'll all be fine."
Serenity only nodded. She wiped the only angry tear she'd shed fron her eye. "I better go see you're sister."
She headed up the stairs and into Rini's room. The pink haired girl was looking at the window scowling as she watched the golden carriage pull away.
"Mother how did you ever fall in love with him?!"
Serenity sighed, "I was young. He was handsome and strong and he held me just right. It happens sometimes and I've never forgiven myself for that mistake."
Rini nodded. "It's not your fault. It's him that's the problem. He's not my father and I never want to see him again."
"That's what I said once, but no matter what he's done to me I miss the old Endymion. The one that loved me."
"How can you say that?!"
"He was my first love and you always feel connected to them in a different way. Don't worry honey I love Andrew a lot more than I love Endymion. Endymion he's... well he's a egotistic bastard to put it lightly and I could never go back to him. Never in a thousand years."
"I'm glad mother," Rini said. "Because I think Andrew is the perfect husband for you."
"I do too honey. I do too."
The mother and daughter sat in the room and thought about the one person who'd shattered their perfect lives. Endymion.
Darien sat in his room and ran his hand through his hair. He finally had a father, but wished he didn't have one. He knew now that it was his job to protect his mother from being hurt until Andrew and she got married. He couldn't believe that the Earth's King was such a horrible person. His own father.
Darien pounded his fist on a table. He wouldn't let his mother get hurt. He wouldn't let his sister get hurt. Endymion would pay if he ever came near them again.
Author's Note: I'm sorry to all of you who wanted Serenity to fall in love with someone else, but Andrew got the most votes and he's my personal favorite. And at this point I don't know if this is going to turn into a Sere\Endy fic or not. I don't think I can turn my back on Endymion no matter how bad he is, but I know that it would take a lot to make you guys like him again. I'll tell you one thing though, if it does turn out a Sere\Endy fic he's gonna have to work his ass off to get Serenity back.
Give your opinion! Review!
