Title: The Swan Princess
Summery: Serenity is the princess from the moon, and Endymion is the prince from Earth. The kings and queens of each kingdom desperately want the two children to marry when they grow up, so every summer Serenity is sent down to Earth to spend quality time with Endymion. They hate each other at first. But when Serenity finally grows up, Endymion sees her in a different light. Endymion's jealous, power-hungry brother, Alex, turns to the dark arts in hope that he can make Serenity become his wife so he can be king, by putting her under a spell.

Chapter 6: Interlude
~~~~~***~~~~~
Earth Kingdom
Serena awoke to the chatter of her friends as they gossiped about what happened to them last night at the ball. Serena remembered Darien and the kiss.
"Will it change anything between us?" she asked herself. She shook her head. "Knowing Darien, he will pass it off as something he dreamed about."
"Serena!" Mina called from Serena's door. "Come out and join us!"
"Coming!" Serena shouted back. She slipped on a robe over her nightgown and padded out to the room that connected hers and Raye's rooms.
"We had the best night!" Lita exclaimed when Serena walked out. "I am in love!"
"Me too!" Amy said.
"Me three!" Mina sighed.
"And me!" Raye said. They all were sitting on the couch, staring dreamily into the air.
"Too bad we leave tomorrow though," Serena interrupted their day dreams. Serena was relieved about their departure date. But she wanted to see Endymion one more time to ask him about his feelings.
"No!" the girls cried.
"I am going to breakfast," Serena said. "Who is coming with me?" Again, the girls were day-dreaming. Serena sighed. "The guys will be there."
Everyone shot up and ran for the door. They quickly walked down to the breakfast hall and went in. Endymion, Jedite, Malachite, Nephrite and Zoycite were sitting at the dining table eating their breakfasts. Endymion refused to look at Serena as she walked by him.
I don't know what to say to her, Endymion thought. I only think of her as a younger sister. At least, that's how I think I feel for her.
The girls sat down and servants brought them their breakfasts. Jedite grinned.
"So, princess how was your evening last night?" he asked Serena. She surprised everyone by blushing. Serena coughed and suddenly found her napkin interesting. She stole a glance at Endymion. He just continued to eat his eggs. Serena frowned.
Fine, she thought. If he doesn't want to say anything or make anything of it, then I won't either.
"It was absolutely boring," Serena stated and watched as Endymion blushed. "There was this one guy, though."
"Oh, and who was that?" Mina leaned over, eager to here who Serena liked. Endymion looked up from his breakfast. Serena smirked. Jedite and Malachite raised an eyebrow.
"Well, he turned out to be a rotten egg," Serena replied. Mina gasped.
"No," Raye and Lita said disbelievingly. "What happened?"
"We danced and then took a walk. And then he turned out to be, well," Serena paused dramatically.
"What?" everyone but Endymion asked.
"He turned out to be, only interested in males," Serena finished. Endymion fell off his chair. The girls giggled. Serena leaned over and looked under the table at Endymion. "Something wrong, Endymion?"
"No," Endymion growled and got back up on his chair. "Say, I met a lady too."
"Really?" Malachite and Nephrite asked. Endymion nodded.
"We talked and then she made me go to the gardens. Then I saw it," Endymion said. Everyone but Serena gasped. Serena glared at Endymion.
"What was it?" Lita asked.
"She had warts all over her hands and had a huge mole on her face. I didn't see the mole before because she had a mask that covered it," Endymion stated. Serena's eyes narrowed. "And she had the most annoying voice I have ever heard." Serena clenched her fork, turning her hand white. Endymion went on. "And she was ugly."
Serena banged her hand on the table. She stood up.
"That is not true!" Serena yelled. Everyone got quiet.
"How would you know?" Endymion asked and raised an eyebrow. Serena glared even harder at him.
"You are such a jerk," Serena cried. She grabbed her fork and piled it with eggs and flicked the eggs at Endymion. They slapped his face and slithered down to his lap. He gaped at her.
"Oh, yeah?" Endymion grabbed his spoon and flicked oatmeal at Serena. She ducked and it hit Mina. Mina gasped and grabbed her roll and through it at Jedite.
"Food fight!" Lita and Malachite yelled. Everyone grabbed their food and threw it everywhere.
Half an hour later the girls ran back to their rooms totally covered in oatmeal, eggs, jam, and many other things. The boys left in worse shape than the girls though. The breakfast hall was completely covered in food.
Serena didn't see Endymion at all for the rest of the day. And Endymion only showed up at the last second to see her off back to the Moon. He sat on a chair on his balcony, staring at the white moon revolving around the Earth.
~~~~~***~~~~~
Next day
~~~~~***~~~~~
"Good-bye everyone," Serena called as she stepped into the portal. Amy, Lita, Raye, and Mina followed her. The royal family stood there waving good-bye as the girls left for Earth. Serena had avoided Darien thinking that if she said anything or did anything, it might make their relationship worse. "See you in a few years!"
Endymion stood there brooding about his relationship with Serena. He shook his head. He had to get out of the palace. He quickly turned and walked back out of the room.

Moon Kingdom - The Day After the Princesses Return from Earth
"Serena! There you are!" Amy called from behind Serena. Serena sat on a white swing underneath a large oak tree. Serena turned and smiled at Amy and the girls as they came into view from the meadow.
"We looked everywhere for you, girl," Mina said. She sat down beside Serena on the swing. Lita, Raye and Amy sat down under the ivy arch. Serena pawed the dirt under her swing with her foot.
"I just wanted to think," Serena whispered. Mina glanced coyly at the other girls.
"I know what you're thinking, Mina," Lita said. She smiled at Raye, who got the hint and passed it on to Amy. Amy gasped.
"Serena's in love?" Amy cried. Serena almost fell off the swing. "With who?"
"No one," Serena answered. She brushed dirt off her long white dress she usually wore on the Moon. "No one at all."
"We know you like that Prince Darien," Raye said. She shook her head. Serena blushed and looked up. "There's no denying it."
"I do not!" Serena huffed and spit her tongue out at Raye. She looked back to the ground. "Well, maybe I do. But it's not like he likes me. There are so many other beautiful girls down there on Earth. Why would he choose me?"
"Because you are the most wonderful person I know," Lita said.
"You're generous and help others," Amy stated. Raye pushed her. Amy surprised Raye by pushing her back. A pushing war began. Serena laughed at them.
"Yeah, but I heard that one girl has caught Darien's attention. What's her name? She has the long brown hair and dark eyes. She is more beautiful than I am," Serena said. Mina put her arm around Serena and hugged her.
"That is a rumor! And if you really think that," Mina smiled. "We will just have to make you more beautiful than anyone around. And when you return to Prince Endymion, he will fall madly in love with you, and you will live happily, ever, after. The end."
"Thanks, Mina, but I want Darien to love me for who I am inside, not what I look like," Serena said and looked up at the girls. "You guys always make me feel better."
"What are friends for?" Raye asked and hopped up. She, Amy and Lita walked around and began to push Mina and Serena on the swing. Serena laughed and smiled as she flew higher and higher in the air.
Just you wait, Endymion, Serena thought. In three years, when I see you again, I will tell you how I feel. And then you can tell me how you feel about me. I can't wait.
~~~~~***~~~~~
Interlude
~~~~~***~~~~~
Serena grew up and so did the other girls. Serena grew to her full height as 5'5''. (A\N: I want Serena a little taller in this story. ^_^ So Darien doesn't have to bend so far down to kiss her! ) Her long golden hair was streaked with silver and reached down to the middle of her back, in layered waves. Her baby fat melted away and revealed an envious figure. Her blue eyes never lost their sparkle.
Amy kept her hair short and was the same height as Serena. Raye and Mina kept their hair the same length as Serena's, except that theirs wasn't layered. Lita kept her hair at her shoulders and was rarely seen with it out of her normal pony tail. The three girls were just a tad bit taller than Serena and Amy.
Amy returned to Mercury, Mina to Venus, Raye to Mars, and Lita to Jupiter to visit their families and do some training there to be fully ready to become part of Serena's court. Serena stayed on the Moon and always found time to go to her gardens and watch the Earth as it spun lazily by. Every night she would fall asleep to the music of the locket Endymion gave her years ago. The Imperium Crystal stayed in a glass sphere, glowing and floating and waiting until it was time to be used again. Serena grew out of her old habits of tripping, falling, running around wildly, and became a graceful princess bringing peace and light where ever she went.
Soon Amy, Raye, Lita and Mina returned from their planets and the summer of Serena's 17th year rolled around. . .

Moon Kingdom - Transporter Room
"I am going to miss you guys!" Serena cried and hugged Mina, Lita, Raye and Amy. "Are you sure you can't go?"
"Yes," Lita answered. She sniffled a bit.
"Your Father told us to stay here," Raye said.
"Something about the evil on Earth growing stronger and so we have to stay here and protect the Moon if something happens. But you will be safe on Earth with the royal family," Amy hugged Serena tightly. "And you'll be back soon!"
"Yeah," Serena whispered. Mina jumped on her.
"Go kick some booty out there, cousin!" Mina squealed. "We'll be cheering for you and Darien up here!"
"Call us as soon as you're engaged," Lita exclaimed.
"Call us on the communicator as soon as you get to your rooms!" Raye shouted. Serena laughed, her bright blue eyes sparkling in the sunlight that streamed in from a window.
"I promise!" Serena said. She grinned mischievously. "And I will tell you how Malachite, Nephrite, Zoycite and Jedite are."
Serena winked at them as the girls turned bright red. Raye pushed Serena over to the portal.
"Get out of here, Serena, before we have to knock you over the head!" Raye exclaimed.
"That's right! The sooner you get to Earth, the sooner you come back," Mina cried. Amy grew thoughtful.
"But wouldn't that just give her more time on Earth today, and less time with us?" she asked. The girls paused to think about it. Minutes later Lita gave up after she acquired a migraine and pinched Amy's arm.
"It doesn't matter," Lita said. She waved to Serena as Serena stepped into the blue portal. "Have fun!"
"See you soon!" Raye cried.
"Oh, ask if you can borrow that book on the life cycles of worms for me!" Amy shouted and received a few bonks on the head for the remark.
"Invite me to the wedding!" Mina yelled.
"Of course!" Serena yelled back as she disappeared in the swirls of blue. "But only if everything goes well. I have one last trick up my sleeve!"
"Guys?" Raye asked as soon as Serena had gone.
"Yeah?" they answered.
"I suddenly have a bad feeling about this," Raye said. The girls agreed as they felt the touch of a foreboding evil. "We have to be alert."
The girls nodded and slowly walked out of the room to the king's council room to tell King Leodegrance about this feeling they had.

A\N: Eep! I didn't know so many people would review! This is so exciting! Sorry this was so short but I promised that after I got to 20 reviews, I would post the next chapter and when I checked today there was way over that! Thank you everyone! And a special thanks to Usagi Usako Chiba for telling me that my settings were so that non members can't review. Thank you everyone! So I am sorry I didn't get to the part where Darien and Serena confess their feelings for each other. And it's kind of boring, but at least it gets everyone to the good parts! And I am sort of trying to make Darien's and Serena's relationship confusing. You know, the love\hate kind. So, don't be confused! Everything will turn out ok. So, I will start on the next chapter right away and have it up soon! Continue reviewing everyone! I luv you all! ^_^
