I'm so sorry it took so long for me to get this chapt. up. Don't be too angry with me! And to all my loyal readers, I thank you for your kind words.

To say the least, Serenity was pissed. "How dare he!" She yelled as she threw herself onto the bed and released her pent up fury and rage by screaming into her pillow. Taking deep breaths, Serenity assured herself..."I will NOT lose my composure because of that...that conceited jerk!" She paused to ponder over what had just taken place.
"Wait a sec...how dare he what..?" As she continued to think about last nights events more and more slipped away from her mind. Her fingertips flew up to the eye which had been blackened and remembered that Endymion had healed it, but when had that taken place? Exhailing, she sat up on the bed. A thought crossed her mind...Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. With a scream of rage, she picked up the case on the nightstand and threw it across the room, sending it smashing into the wall. "How dare he do that to me! I am not one of his little toys whom he can play mind games with!" She told herself then got off the bed. "I do believe Endymion and I need to have a little chat!" But as she crossed the room, she noticed how wrinkled her gown was, and she sighed. "I had better go ahead and change for breakfast before I go talk to him..." She crossed the room and pushed the button on her luggage. When it had assembled, she chose a floor length long sleeved silk sapphire colored gown. Slowly, she undressed down to her corset and panties (sorry if my terms are incorrect) Serenity detested those pantaloon things most women of the day wore, so naturally she didn't wear them. Just as Serenity was about to pull on the gown, the door opened... {duh dun DUH!}
"Serenity, I heard scr..." a shirtless Endymion walked into the room and was at a loss of words when he saw Serentiy in this state.
Her golden tresess cascaded down her back and over her shoulders like a cloak. Her tiny frame was appropriately covered in pink lace where it should be covered. Her long ivory yet tan legs stretched for what seemed like miles. She was flawlessly beatiful ,and it was MORE than any man could wish for. Poor Endymion was practically drooling.
'To think I get to marry her!' He thought smugly, but outloud his words could not function properly."I...um...was...coming...okay...heard... voices.." His eyes locked with hers as she clutched her gown in front of her protectively. "What do YOU want? You stay away from me..."
Endymion raised his eyebrows. "Why?"
"Your parents lied to me and my mother. We were never told about your...your..."
"My what?" He mocked.
"They never told us you were a...a...wizard."
Endymion chuckled. "I am not a wizard, Princess. I just happen to be endowed with the ability to learn certain things. I have many other special powers other than healing, but most of them have something to do with healing."
"Why don't you just go play with some other girl's mind and leave me alone?!" Serenity yelled at him.
"Serenity, if you would just let me explain --" Endymion started.
"I don't want to hear anymore of your shit. GET OUT!" She yelled and pointed towards the door.
With a sigh, Endymion reluctantly left the door, slamming the door behind him.
'Damn man...'
'Damn woman...'
Serenity rolled her eyes in disbelief. 'The nerve of that man...'
She pulled on her gown and pulled her hair up into a bun.
After taking a few composing breaths, Endymion knocked politely on the door expecting her not to even answer. Much to his suprise, she answered. He frowned at the sight of her lovely golden hair was pulled up into a bun. He must have been staring because Serenity began fidgeting.
"Yes?" She asked inquisitively. 'I wonder if his chest muscles are as hard as they look...' Serenity wondered as her eyes roved his nicely defined musceled chest. Her hand darted out to touch his chest, but she pulled back just in time for Endymion to grab her hand and kiss her knucles.
She blushed. 'He's so nice...' Serenity smiled warmly at Endymion, whose eyes widened in apprehension of what was to come from that smile. 'What the **** am I thinking? NICE?! NICE?! Sere! Get a hold of yourself! This is the ass who erased your memory..."
She yanked her head out of his grasp roughly and took a step backwards. "You,sir, would do well to remember that a man should never touch a woman unless he has her permission or she is his wife." Curtly, she tried to slam the door in his face, but he foiled her plan by darting in.
She frowned at his, glaring daggers.
"Well, you are to be my wife eventually.. What's the difference?"
"Humph! Keep on thinking that. I wouldn't count my chickens before they hatch." She mocked.
Endymion advanced on her a step. "And you, my dear, would do well to remember what I can do. However, I do not mean that as a threat. I am the PRince of Earth here. You have no rank over me whilst you are here. And your birthday is in two days. The announcement is to be declared on that eve."
She crossed her arms. "I care not about your silly little ball, or about my own birthday. I would rather kiss a pig than marry you. Even the sight of you makes me sick."
Endymion only laughed. "Well, get used to seeing me Princess. You'll see alot more of me than you could ever want. Besides, there are many women here on Earth who would willingly marry a Prince, especially me since I am so stunning." He winked at her.
Serenity's mouth dropped open and when she found her words, she was so angry. "Why you pompous little...Why don't you just go tell someone who gives a ...."
The Prince closed the distance between them and laid a finger on her lips. "Now, now, language of such should not be uttered from one as beautiful as you are, my dear."
"I am more than a pretty face." She growled as she swatted his hand away from her mouth.
He crossed his arms and chuckled. "Yes, you are quite fiesty. But I am sure somewhere in there," he motioned to her head, "somewhere in there you have some sence."
With a vengenful look, Serentity kicked his as hard she could in the shin. While Endymion was hopping around in agony, she laughed so hard she couldn't breath. "I challenge you to a duel, sir."
Endymion stood straight up. "A duel?"
"Yes, a duel, oh great Endymion, Prince of Earth." She teased.
"Where you come from a duel must refer to a competition in...Hm...cooking? dancing? embroidery?" He wondered aloud.
"Do not mock me. A duel with swords." She told him.
"Say I play along with your little game. What time?"
"After breakfast." she replied curtly and pointed to the door. Serenity turned around to her luggage and began to rummage for shoes.
"Silently, Endymion walked up behind her and pulled out her hair pins. As her hand flew up to stop the golden tresses from falling, Endymion knocked her hand out of the way, letting the golden locks cascade down her back like a waterfall off pure gold.
"Endymion!" Serentiy squeeled. She spun around to yell at him some more, but found herself speechless as she ended up only centimeters from his face. She swallowed hard as she inhaled his rose scent and didn't dare to look in his eyes.
His fingertips found her chin and jolted it up, forcing her to look into his eyes. Their eyes locked.
"Forgive me."
"For...what?" She questioned breathlessly.
"For this." He leaned forward and kissed her gently on the lips, then leaned back. He pulled her closer and wrapped his arms around her waist. He kissed her again, each moement the kiss became more deep and passionate.
She leaned onto his as if her life depended on it. Breathlessly,he pulled away and looked at her.
Her eyelids fluttered open to reveal wide blue crystal eyes and flushed cheeks. He kissed the tip of her nose and turned to leave.
"If I win this duel, you cannot touch me unless I say so. No matter whether we are married or not." She told him and turned to put her hair back up into a bun.
He turned around and winked at her. "I assure you, you shall not win."
After shutting the door behind him, Endymion went to his room and changed clothes.
Afterwards he summoned a servant to his chambers. He handed her a silver platter with five glasses on it. "Pay close attention, madam. The gold goblet goes to my father. The silver to the Moon Queen. The pink to the Princess. The blue to myself. And the red to my mother. These goblets contain freshly squeezed juice and are to be served at breakfast."
After taking the platter with the goblets on it, the servant left.
Endymion smiled miscieviously and left to go to the dining hall to find Serenity smiling and talking to his parents. He slid into the chair next to her and smiled as he saw her take a sip out of her pink goblet.
She eyed him. "What?"
He smothered a laugh. "Nothing. I was wondering if you liked the juice. It's from a special fruit that is only grown on earth."
"Yes, it is unique." She sipped half of the juice. "What is it called?" She yawned after taking the long draught.
"It's called Apple Juice."
She raised her eyebrows and downed the rest of the glass. She could barely keep her eyes open now and started to drift off to sleep.
Endymion chuckled to himself. 'Poor thing didn't even know it was tampered with...hahah...She'll have no luck beating me now. That's enough sleeping powder for her to sleep all day."
The adults talked amoungst themselfs, and the Prince's guardians approached.
Jedite placed his hands on the Princess shoulders. "Well, well, look who we found."
"Wha?" A sleepy Serenity questioned loudly interrupting the adults conversationg. She blushed. "OhwellI'mgonnagonowseeyalater."
She bolted out of the room leaving everyone but Endymion confused. Slowly, conversation began to resume and Endymion and his gaurdains slipped out into the hall after Serenity, who had just collapsed against the wall.
Endymion walked over nonchallantly and picked her up. Her eyelids flickered open to find a smiling Endymion. "You make me sick..." she muttered distinctly. When she saw Endymion's generals, she frowned. "Lemme go."
"Princess, what's wrong, you don't seem too well..." Endymion told her with a smirk.
"Yeah, I know I don't. What'd you do to me?" She asked.
"Let's go have that duel you were talking about...Then we'll have some fun afterwards." He joked with her.
