Seven years Later:
Princess Reili (RE-LiE) shifted uncomfortably in her dark red chiffon dress. An aid fussed her for her impatience and the ten year old narrowed her eyes and turned away with a fuss, crossing her arms across her chest. She had been sitting here waiting for hours it seems! She looked over to her brother and caught him yawn. She huffed and waited... deep down she was bubbling with excitement.. A girl was to come live with them and it was rumored that she was Rei's age!
The doors to Queen Selenity's private chambers opened suddenly and the Queen looked up a little startled. When she saw the form rush towards her she immediately stood and embraced the sobbing child.
"I shall miss you so!" She weeped bitterly into the Queen's gown and the queen inhaled painfully. She bent down to eye level with the small girl and smiled a warm loving smile... a smile that Serenity would never forget, a smile that comforted her immediately. The Queen gently tucked a silver strand of Serenity's hair behind her ears and looked at her lovingly.
"I am so proud of you Serenity." She whispered softly and the young girl's eyes widened and she gasped surprised. What an honor! She quickly threw herself into the Queen's arms and held her tightly.
"I love you so much." Serenity whispered and a tear traveled down the pale face of the beautiful Queen.
"I shall love you forever my child." The Queen whispered softly and Serenity smiled and looked at her. They both laughed softly. They had connected so much over the years... Serenity use to stay up at night and pray to the Goddess Selene that this beautiful Queen before her truly was her mother... that they could stay together forever... but it wasn't her duty, it was Minet's... the true Princess of the Moon.
"Serenity!" Minet cried sadly as she rushed forward, two other girls following after her. Tears trailed down Minet's pale cheeks as she clung to her best friend tightly. "What will I do without you?" The ten year old cried and Serenity held her tightly.
"You will have Amielle and Litana... don't fuss over me." Serenity smiled as she hugged the Princess again. "I will return shortly... so I can guard you like they do." Serenity said with excitement and Minet laughed sadly, more tears falling down her cheeks. She knew too many secrets for a ten year old and every one she knew she had to keep away from her very best friend.
"We will be so bored without you!" Amielle laughed as she tackled Serenity to the ground. "Who will race with me outside?" The hyper girl asked and Serenity laughed.
"Maybe you should take up reading like Litana!" Serenity scolded and Litana smiled staying near Minet.
"But then when would I wrestle?" Amielle laughed as she and Serenity rolled across the floor in laughter.
"Girls." A voice said from above them and both girls halted. They looked up at Luna above them and she grinned slightly. With a finger she motioned for them to quickly stand. Once Serenity did Luna rushed to her side and began to fix her pure white gown and ruffled silver hair. "Come... it is time for you to fulfill destiny." Luna smiled and she suddenly pulled Serenity in her arms. She was never attached to many people but she truly genuinely loved Serenity... and helped care for her as if she was her own daughter.
"I love you Luna." Serenity whispered softly into her hair and Luna smiled joyously.
"Come." She commanded softly. Serenity waved a final farewell to her three best friends and smiled lovingly at them. They waved sadly and watched as the girl who was trained all her life for this left on the mission that would bring earth and the moon closer together.
"I hope they like me..." Serenity whispered and Lunar smiled lovingly at her.
"How could they not?" She smiled and led the Princess to her transport which would take her to her new home... Earth.
One Month Later:
"Serenity!" A girl whined as she raced down the halls. Serenity gasped and ran quicker when suddenly a hand reached out and pulled her into the shadows. Serenity's eyes tried to look out to see when the Princess would pass and she smiled when she did.
"What have you done now?" A boy asked quietly as he stepped from the shadows, making sure the coast was clear before he pulled Serenity out.
"Nothing... we're playing tag." Serenity giggled and Endymoun raised an eyebrow at her. He grinned and ruffled her hair.
"Just don't kill her... we'd all be in trouble." He smirked and Serenity hugged him then departed down the hall. The young Prince of Earth continued on his way, he had grown fond of his sister and his new playmate Serenity from the Moon. They were friends and he hoped they would become best friends... he needed a true friend... it was never fun growing up around adults and his sister was too young and whiny but Serenity was just right... she was almost as mature as he... and she loved to read. They would read Plato and Shakespeare together... trying to sound out the words and making up meanings to ones they didn't know. All in all, Serenity was the best gift the Moon Kingdom ever gave them.
One year later:
Serenity stood before the large birthday cake and glanced around the room. They all smiled at her and she smiled weakly. She missed her friends... she missed the Queen. Gently the arms of Queen Marlelle encircled her and Serenity smiled happily as the Queen tickled her softly.
"Blow out the candles Sere and make a wish!" Rei giggled and Serenity smiled and stared at the candles. She looked at Endy and he nodded vigorously at her side. With a deep breath she blew out and all the candles were extinguished. Everyone clapped and laughed.
"What did you wish for Sere?" Rei asked scooting next to her and Serenity shrugged.
"The same wish I wish every year..." She smiled and Rei and Endy exchanged a look, the young thirteen year old boy moving closer to the two.
"What's that?" Rei asked curiously.
"That I had a mother." Serenity smiled and Endy and Rei frowned slightly. Rei looked at her mother who frowned and Queen Marlelle kissed Serenity's head lovingly. Rei smiled and took Serenity's hand.
"We are you're family Sere! I can be your mother!" Rei laughed. "And Endy can be your father!" Rei giggled and Endy huffed. He smiled and hugged Serenity and she smiled happily as Rei did the same. "We'll always love you."
Serenity sat straight up in her bed and gasped. Sweat formed on her forehead and she felt like she was going to cry. Quickly she jumped from her bed, grabbing her small stuffed bunny and she raced from the room. Her feet softly padded down the hallways as she ran toward another room. Quietly she turned the knob and let herself in, closing the door behind her. Rushing to the bed, she climbed the small steps and pulled the covers back, crawling in next to the figure that already laid there.
His eyes opened and he turned slowly. At first he thought it was his sister but his sister's hair was much darker. He blinked seeing the crying form of Serenity beside him, curled up into one of his pillows, holding fiercely to her stuffed pet.
"Sere?" He asked quietly and her eyes opened, which had previously been tightly shut. "What's wrong?" he asked as he sat up. She sat up as well and looked at him, her lip trembling and her eyes full of tears.
"I had a nightmare... There was a women chasing after me demanding that I give her the Moon." Serenity confessed quietly and Endy reached out and pulled her into his arms. "I'm scared Endy..." Serenity whispered quietly and Endy held her tightly.
"Don't be scared Sere.... I'm always right here and I'll always protect you." He whispered quietly and she nodded and hugged him tighter to her. "Come on.. let's get some sleep, you can sleep with me and I'll chase all your nightmares away..." He smiled and they laid back down, Serenity lying in his arms, her head upon his chest. And he was right... whenever he was with her, she never had her dreams...she was always safe. Another Seven years later:
The Prince rolled over, his arm clamping onto the figure beside him. He yawned and felt the sunlight tickle at his eyes. He hugged the figure closer to him and heard her moan, not wanting to be waken from her sleep. Groggily he opened his eyes and placed his chin on her shoulder. Her hair surrounded them and he smiled smelling the sweet fragrance... his whole bed smelled like her. He pinched her stomach and she groaned and kicked away from his grasp. She must have had a nightmare again.... it's almost been a month since last she slept in his arms. He sighed and kissed her cheek softly. Slowly he climbed out of the opposite side of the bed and walked to a connected room to get dressed for the day.
When he returned, dressed in a dark brown training tunic and black boots he found his precious Serenity still asleep where he had left her. Her silver hair was sprawled along the pillows and she looked like an angel when the light hit her in such a way. He smiled and walked toward her. Gently he poked her and she smiled and groaned trying to hide her face in his pillow. He bent down and whispered quietly into her ear.
"You better wake up before Rei discovers you not in her quarters..." He said teasingly and Serenity's eyes popped open and she gasped. She jumped up almost knocking the Prince back and he laughed as she jumped out of his bed. Her silk white long nightgown fell to the floor and hugged her curves beautifully. Endymoun had to admit that she was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen in his life. She rushed past him and he chuckled watching her fly from the room. Suddenly she popped her head back in his room and grinned teasingly at him and his chuckles stopped.
"Thanks for last night." She grinned and winked at him then ran from the room. He smirked. Serenity... Serenity... for a women who was named after peace... she sure caused chaos with him.
"No..." The tutor sighed heavily and Rei narrowed her eyes. She cast a quick glance to Serenity, flashing a smirk then turned to her tutor. "How about we end early today?" The old man sighed and a smile came to Reilie's lips.
"Delightful." She said as she clamped her book shut, dust flying from it's pages. Serenity stood and walked the tutor to the door. He looked at her exasperated and she smiled warmly. He sighed and left the palace, mumbling to himself. Serenity turned and flashed a warning to Rei, a grin playing on her soft lips.
"Must you annoy him so? I know you know all of his answers... you refuse to answer correctly on purpose. What would Endy say?" Serenity grinned walking to the table.
"I would laugh of course... then I would reprimand her much like you have and ask her, 'What would Serenity say?'" A voice behind them said and Rei smiled lovingly at her brother as he strode into the room.
"She slept with you again last night hm Endy?" Rei said with a teasing tone and Serenity sighed, trying to hide her smile. She picked up a book and walked past Endy.
"She makes it sound so dirty..." She said with a smile and Endy grabbed her arm pulling her close to him. He kissed her cheek and held her against him, facing her laughing form towards Rei.
"Do we look like two who would do anything improper?" Endy asked and Rei laughed, her dark black hair cascading in silky strands down her red gown and back.
"Improper indeed." Serenity smirked and he hugged her from behind. Rei stood and dropped her book on the table as she advanced towards them.
"We are the Three Musketeers... nothing could ever seperate us." Rei said happily and they both nodded.
"Not even the Princess of the Moon." Endy grinned and Serenity laughed.
"Oh how you two would love her..." She sighed and Endy smiled.
"If she is anything like you I'm sold..." He grinned and pinched her making her gasp. She fell from his arms and stumbled toward Rei giving him a look.
"She is even greater then I... She's beautiful... and her mother... Oh she is the definition of beauty." Serenity smiled and Rei giggled, wrapping an arm around her back.
"Then what are you sweet Sere?" She smiled and Serenity giggled.
"Nothing but a homely orphan who was taken in by a loving goddess..." Serenity smiled and Endy smiled at her. He rushed forward and took both women into his arms and they giggled.
"You must entertain me tonight... Father is trying to wed me off by bringing in another Kingdom's noble blood..." He sighed annoyed and Serenity giggled wrapping an arm around his shoulders as Rei laid her head on his chest.
"I think you should marry the Princess of the Moon... especially if she's everything Serenity has been saying." Rei giggled and Serenity blinked.
"No." Serenity laughed. "He should stay single forever so he could always be with us..." She smiled and Endy thought about that and grinned.
"Yes... wouldn't his wife be mad to see you sneaking in his bed at night." Rei giggled and Serenity gasped. Endy was pushed aside as Rei bolted from the room, followed by her best friend Serenity. He smirked and glanced outside and sighed. More training to be done.
The clang of swords echoed in the hall and Serenity smiled hearing familiar voices.
"Your Highness you are improving. You were such a wimp before." Jedite smirked as he gripped his sword tighter. A laugh emitted from Endy's lips that Serenity knew all two well.
"I beg to differ." Endy replied as he lunged forward. Serenity stepped slowly down the stairs to descend into the training grounds.
"Lady Serenity." Malachite said respectfully as he bowed his head. Serenity smiled and kissed his forehead. He smiled and looked back upon her. "You look well."
"Why wouldn't she be? We are all here to take care of her." Nephrite smiled as he approached Serenity from behind. She hugged him and looked for the third member in the Personal troupe of Endymoun's guards. They had served with him for four years now, ever since the Prince had turned sixteen. Many times they had caught Serenity and Endy together, always in compromising positions... which were always explained later to be simple misunderstandings... besides they were just the best of friends...
A panting voice suddenly made it to Serenity's side and she looked at him curiously, his blonde hair tussled form the duel.
"What do we owe the pleasure of your great company my lady?" Jedite asked with a charming smile and Serenity rolled her eyes and pushed him aside.
"I come bearing a message from the Queen." She replied sternly and Endy groaned and raised his sword, casting her a playful glare. She tried to hide her grin and took the fencing sword away from Jedite and approached her prey.
"What does mother say?" He asked casually making the first strike. She blocked and took a step back. She grinned and lunged for him. He smirked spinning out of her way, she spun around the tip of her sword coming inches from his neck, her form in a teasing stance as she glared at him.
"You are improving Lady Serenity." Malichite grinned and Zoycite approached them.
"Imagine if you weren't in a gown Lady Serenity how well you could move." He spoke and Endy lunged, their forms coming close together and he smirked.
"I could imagine you without your gown." He whispered to her and she stared into his eyes.
"Your mother requests that you not hide behind my skirts this evening.. no matter how vulgar your new love is." She said loud enough for the others to hear and they broke into chuckles. Endy sighed and looked at her and she smirked. She leaned forward her lips bearly touching his cheek, her hand pushing against the hilt of his sword. "Now what are you imagining?" She whispered and the others quieted down, staring at the two. Endy smiled and met her eyes.
"I'm imagining you losing this duel." He grinned and Serenity smiled and pushed with all her might, sending him backwards, his sword flying into the air. She spun, her skirts flowing around her as her left hand gripped at the hilt of his sword as it came crashing down. She twisted and aimed both at his chest.
"Your imagination needs tuning." She smirked and he sighed and let his head fall back on the ground, a smile on his lips.
"Excellent." Jedite grinned.
Serenity smiled as she walked through the marble halls of the palace. Suddenly steps were heard form behind her and a form grabbed her around her waist, almost making them topple to the floor. She let out a laugh and turned to see Jedite grinning at her.
"How is my love?" He asked quietly and she smiled.
"She is well... yet is suffering from a bad bite from the love bug." Serenity grinned and Jedite smiled and tried to hold in his excitement.
"Tell her I will dance with her tonight... I have something I want to ask her." Jedite grinned then hugged Serenity tightly. He waved then retreated down the hall he had just came. A laugh escaped Serenity's lips and she sighed... she had never needed love but deep down she ached... wishing she could be loved... she quickly dismissed the idea. Why entertain foolish notions anyway?
