Soory if the typing job isn't bery good today. my thumb hurts, so it's hard for me to type. There is a little purple line running along the nail. Friend-Tamsie says it's thumb cancer.

CHAPTER TEN

Serenity ((sorry if you think I am focusing too much on her.)) stood outside in the garden, only in a sleveless nightgown. The cold March winds blew all around her, but she didn't seem to notice. Her skin was beginning to turn an odd pale purple color. "Serenity?" someone asked. But she barely heard him. "Serenity! What are you doing out here in the cold?!"
The princess didn't even blink.
"Come on, let's get you inside and warmed up." he lifted her up into his arms and carried her indise.
Onece she was warm, she moved a little. "En- Endymion?" she weakly cried out upon seeing who had helped her.
"Oh! You're moving, thats good. I was afraid you may have gotten frostbite or hypothermia (("Mrs. Walters, please let Brent get a drink of water during your English class. He needs it for his hypothermia. -Brent's Mom" Yeah, Mrs. Walters REALLY bought that one.)) or something like that"
"N-no... I'm f-fine." she sat up on the white sofa.
"Why were you out there in the first place?" he sat next to her.
She began to get nervous again. "Th-the dream. Y-y... I finally found out wh-who.... Y-y..."
"Don't worry about that."
"B-but, but I-"
"I think you should go back to sleep in your bed. There's a big day tomorrow. Everyone is going to be there for the peace talks." He lifted the girl into his arms like she was nothing. Serenity fell asleep before she even reached her bed.

When she awoke, she was surprised to find her mother by her bedside. "Bunny, darling, are you OK?" ((can you hear me?))
"Yes, momma."
"Why did you go into the garden last night? You almost froze to death!"
"I-- I was clearing my head."
"You didn't even respond when Endymion talked to you!"
"I'm fine now, though. I was just cold at the time."
"Then, I am glad you are ok. Serenity, I want you to stay in your room all day today, until our guests leave."
"What?!" the princess abruptlu sat up in bed. "You mean I'm going to be stuck in here all day? What am I going to do?"
"I will allow your friends to come in to visit with you. I am doing this for your own safety. The Saya-jins WILL be here, after all..."
Serenity had a feeling deep inside of her heart that she would be safe, but she said anyway, "Momma, for your sake, I will stay in here."

It was two hours since sunrise. Serenity was leaning aginst the large window, making her hands and nose cold, and wishing that one of her friends would show up and rescue her from this boredom. But she was not only bored. She was extremely anxious about what would happen. Would it work? She hoped so. Her anxiety only grew when foreign ships began to arrive. Her stomach churned and her heart began to race. She stepped away from the window and flopped back onto her bed. She was about to fall asleep when someone knocked on the door. "Come in," she mumbled.
"Ren?" It was Tenchi.
"Tenchi!!" she was so releived to have a friend visiting. She stood up.
"I haven't seen you in the longest time. I'm glad you're doing ok."
"Thank God you are here, I was about to die of boredom."
"Tenchi!" and unfamiliar, to Serenity, voice whined.
The princess whirled around to see a girl about her age walking THROUGH THE WALL. "What?! Wha- Who are you? Wha- what are you do-?" she was so confused and was about to scream for someone when Tenchi said something.
"Ryoko! What are you doing here? I told you to stay away!"
"Y- You know her?"
"Oh, of course!" the girl who Tenchi called Ryoko said. Serenity jumped back as Ryoko disappeared and reappeared with her arms around Tenchi's shoulders. "He's mine." she glared at the Moon Princess with suspicious eyes.
"Calm down, she's been my friend since I was three, and nothing like THAT."
"Ok... if you say so, my Tenchi" Ryoko's eyes softened.
"Now, Ryoko. Why are you here?! I told you not to follow me."
"But I couldn't just leave you!"
Serenity had wandered away from them and back to the window... and nervousness. The argument died down in her ears, and an incessant ringing filled them insead. She felt like SHE was the one about to participate in the peace talks, not her mother. She could barely stand up. "Tenchi..." she barely said.
"What is it, Ren?" he asked.
"I have to leave this room. I must." and before anyone could say anything, Serenity had opened the window and jumped out of the window. The fall would surely kill her.
