~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Important Info: This takes place in the Silver Millenium, and Princess Selenity and Prince Endymion have been a couple for five years.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Prince Endymion paced back and forth nervously in his room. He began talking to himself.

"Come on, Endymion. You can do it! All you have to do is say, ' will you marry me?'"

"Oh, sorry Endymion, but I'm already married." someone said. Endymion turned around quickly to
see Prince Ethan standing at the door.

"Prince Ethan!" Endymion exclaimed. A shade of pink slowly crept onto his face.

"I don't think my wife, Princess Minako, would approve of your marriage proposal." Prince Ethan
said, smirking.

"Did anyone ever tell you that you're not funny?" Endymion said, turning away.

"Endymion. I was just kidding." Ethan said, walking into Endymion's room.

"I know. It was hilarious!" Endymion said sarcastically. Ethan just rolled his eyes.

"So, Endymion. What _were_ you doing? Were you going to propose to someone?"

"Yeah. I was thinking about proposing to Selenity." Endymion said shyly.

"Ohh. I see." Ethan said. He looked at Endymion. Endymion had a worried expression on his face.
"What's wrong, Endymion? Why are you so worried?" Ethan asked.

"Well, I'm proposing to her...and that's a good thing. After all, I _have_ been with her for five years and now...I think I'm ready for the next step. But I don't know if Selenity is. And, I'm not even sure if I should propose." Endymion explained.

"Well, of course you should propose to her!! You both deserve each other. And you guys are the
most famous couple inteh universe. News of you two getting married will make headlines!!"

" Yeah, but I don't care about that stuff. What I'm afraid of is if she'll accept my proposal. I mean, what if I'm rushing her into this?"

"Rushing her into this? Come on. You guys have been together for five years!!! What wouldn't she
be ready for? And anyway, if you propose to her, she should be able to honestly tell you if she's not ready. And you should be able to just accept that." Ethan said, trying to put it in a convincing way.

"You know what? I _will_ propose to her." Endymion said enthusiastically.

"That's the spirit!! Now...when will you ask her?" Ethan asked excitedly. Suddenly, Endymion's
expression of enthusiasm became one full of question and doubt.

"Good question." Endymion said. Ethan gave him a weird look. Endymion smiled weakly.

"I guess I'll ask her tonight. She's coming to my place tonight with her mother. Our families are
trying to think of another dumb law that no one will follow." Endymion said while rolling his eyes. "Anyway...I was thinking of proposing to her after dinner, in front of my family and her mother. That way, it doesn't have to be a secret to our families." Endymion said, crossing his arms proudly.

"Hmm. Not a bad idea. Go for it!!" Ethan said enthusiastically.

"Don't worry. I will. I'm ready. Now more than ever." Endymion said with determination in his voice. He pulled out a black velvet box and opened it. A princess cut diamond ring with a 24 kt. gold band rested perfectly in the tiny box. The red velvet inside the box cradled the ring. The diamond flaunted its flawless beauty. Ethan gawked at the ring.

"Wow, Endymion. That's one hell of a rock!!" Ethan said. (SN: Okay, ppls. I wanted to say "...one
hell of a ring," but my demented friend Starrie said to write "rock" instead of "ring." So...yeah. -_-;;) He couldn't take his eyes off it.

"It is, isn't it?" Endymion said proudly.

"I can't wait to slip this ring on her finger if she accepts." Endymion said.

"If? IF??? You mean _when_ she accepts! For goodness sake, look at that diamond!!! Who could
turn down a diamond like that??" Ethan asked in bewilderment.

"Selenity could." Endymion said flatly. Ethan said nothing. He knew Endymion as right.

"Well, I'm sure she'll accept." Ethan said. Though he wasn't sure of it, he gave Endymion a smile. Endymion smiled back weakly.

"Look, Endymion. I gotta get going. Tell me how it goes tonight, okay?" Ethan said. Endymion
nodded. "Good luck, Endymion. You'll need it." Ethan said under his breath as he walked out the
door.

// That evening \\

"Welcome to our home, Queen Serenity and Princess Selenity." Queen and King Endymion
greeted.

"Pleased to make your aquaintance." Queen Serenity said witha smile on her pale pink lips.

"Please. Come in." King Endymion said, gesturing towards the living room. Everyone took a seat in
the living room. Endymion walked in. He walked towards Queen Serenity. He bowed to her.

"Welcome, Queen Serenity. Glad to see you again." Endymion said.

"Thank you, Endymion. It's good to see you again too." Queen Serenity said. He walked to
Princess Selenity. He took hold of her slender, ivory white hand and gently kissed it. He looked at Selenity.

"Welcome, Princess. So glad you could make it." Endymion said, trying not to let his lips curl up
into a smile. Selenity smiled.

"Thank you. I'm glad I could see you again." Selenity said, looking at Endymion. Endymion smiled
back. He genlty let go of her hand and took a seat next to his father. Queen Serenity smiled.

"I must say, King Endymion. Your son is quite a gentleman. Don't you agree, Selenity?" Queen
Serenity said, turning to her daughter.

"Yes, Mother. I agree. He is a perfect gentleman." Selenity said, looking at Prince Endymion. A
slight shade of pink grazed Prince Endymion's face. King Endymion chortled. He patted his son on
the back.

"Well, at least now I know I raised him well." King Endymion said happily. Prince Endymion wore a
deeper shade of pink on his face while giving a somewhat lopsided smile. Selenity quietly giggled. Soon, everyone begant o laugh. Shortly afterward, their laughter was silenced by the ring of a bell. A servant entered the room.

"Excuse me, your majesties. Your dinner is ready." the servant said politely while bowing.

"Thank you." King Endymion said, gesturing for the servant to leave. The servant bowed once
again and left the room. King Endymion stood up. He cleared his throat a little.

"Shall we eat now?" King Endymion asked, gesturing everyone towards the dining room.

"Sounds good." Queen Serenity said, standing up from her seat.

"Okay then. Let's eat!!" King Endymion said cheerfully. Everyone else got up from their seats and
followed him into the dining room.

// After dinner \\

Everyone was once again seated in the living room. After what seemed like centuries, King and
Queen Endymion and Queen Serenity had finally agreed upon a suitable law. The time for Queen
Serenity and Princess Selenity to leave was soon arriving. They stood up, preparing to leave. King and Queen Endymion stood up to walk them to the door. Prince Endymion stood up too.

"Well, it was nice having you here. Hope you come back soon." King Endymion said.

"Thank you for having us here." Queen Serenity said. Queen Serenity and Princess Selenity were
just about to walk out the door when Prince Endymion spoke up.

"Wait! You can't go yet." Prince Endymion said.

"Why not?" Queen Serenity asked curiously. Prince Endymion walked closer to Princess Selenity.
He took hold of her hands. He looked at her in the eyes. His parents and Queen Serenity were
anxious to find out what he was going to do. Prince Endymion let out a small sigh.

"Selenity..." he began. "Heaven must be missing an angel, because you've fallen to me from
heaven. God must've been having a good day when he put you in my life. He must've had an even
better day when he put you in my future." Endymion said softly. Selenity's crystal blue eyes
showed confusion. Then, all her confusion was cleared up after Endymion took out a black velvet
box. He got on one knee, opened it and displayed it in front of Selenity. Her eyes sparkled with
shock and happiness. There, in front of her, was a princess cut diamond ring with a 24 kt gold
band, red velvet cradling it. Selenity became speechless. Endymion looked at Selenity and said the words she never thought she'd hear.

"Selenity....will you marry me?" Selenity lips pulled up into a wide smile, but before she could
answer, someone spoke up.

"No, Endymion!! You can't marry her!!"

SN: So....how was that??? Please tell me!!! Should I continue or should I just end it?? Or, if you don't want to answer that, then I'll continue based on the number of reviews. If I get three or less reviews after two days, I'll stop writing this fic. There's no point in writing a fic that no one is going to read or like, ne? If I get four or more reviews after two days, then I'll continue. But...please.....REVIEW!! Pwease?? ^___^
