AN: Not much to say besides hope you like this chapter!
(================================================)
Serenity groggily opened her eyes as someone gently shook her awake. Princess Ami smiled down at Serenity as she rubbed her eyes.
"Good morning Sere," she said happily. "Lita asked me to tell you that Prince Endymion and her fiance will be arriving in an hour or so. Would you like some help getting ready today?" Serenity's widened when she heard how little time she had. She quickly nodded yes before running into her bathroom and starting the water, leaving a giggling Ami still seated on her bed. A few moments later she rushed out again, her hair sopping wet with a towel wrapped around her. She shot a pleading look to the very amused Ami and rummaged through her wardrobe. She smiled as she held up the perfect dress. The dress was a soft cream-like color. It had two straps that sat upon the shoulder and princess seams under the bust. It belled out at the bottom, and though it was nice, it wasn't too formal. Ami helped Serenity slip into the dress and laced it up in the back. Serenity combed out her long hair and sighed.
"Oh Ami, what should I do with my hair?" she asked, her voice worried. Ami laughed and came over to her.
"Here, let me do it," she said as she took the comb from her friend. When Serenity saw herself in her mirror she gasped. Her hair looked so beautiful. Peices of her hair were pulled back into an intricate bun on the back of her head while the rest flowed freely down her back. A small curl framed her face and Serenity hugged Ami.
"Its amazing, thank you so much Ami," she said. Serenity slipped on a pair of open-toed heels that were the same color as her dress.They left the room and joined Lita at the teleportation field. The Princess of Jupiter paced back and forth nervously, her heart aching to see her future husband. Serenity smiled softly, knowing the feeling. A few moments later there was a flash of brilliant gold and there stood Prince Endymion and Ken, the duke of a large continent on Earth. Lita wrapped her arms around Ken and kissed him softly. They walked away, hand in hand, and Ami slipped away silently behind them. Serenity smiled brilliantly at Endymion and walked over to where he stood. He smiled in return and opened his arms. Serenity snuggled into them and he kissed her gently on the top of her head.
"Good morning Endy," she said with a smile.
"It is now," he said as he took her hand in his. Serenity blushed and giggled softly as her stomach growled.
"I haven't eaten breakfast yet," she said cheerfully. " Have you?"
"No," Endymion answered.
"Well then come, let's go eat," she said as she led him into the palace. They walked into the kitchen and Serenity smiled at the girl who was busy loading plates with food for breakfast.
"Morning Molly!"Serenity said cheerfully. "Can I get two plates in the dining room please?"
"Of course Sere," the red-head replied. "I'll bring 'em to you in a minute."
"Thanks," Serenity said as she led Endymion into the dining room.
"What a cute nick name," he remarked as they seated themselves beside each other at the table. "Sere...I think I like it." Serenity smiled. Molly came in with a silver tray carrying their meals and two glasses of orange juice.
"There you go," she said as she set the plates down in front of them. "I'll pick the dishes up later so just leave them when you're done, 'kay?" Serenity nodded as she began to eat. Molly left, humming quietly to herself. The pair of young royalty ate their meal in a comfortable silence as the sleepiness of the morning began to wear off of them. They finished and Serenity set down her fork.
"So is there anything in particular you want to see?" Serenity said as she finished her juice.
"Can we go see the lake?" Endymion asked. "I'm sure there will be people busy preparing for the celebration and all, but I still want to see it."
"Sure," she said. "We'll go there right away." They stood up and left the room, and Endymion took her hand in his once more. She led him down a stone path lined with silver bell-shaped flowers.
"What are those?" he asked as he pointed to them.
"Oh, those are moon flowers," Serenity said with a smile. "They're very pretty, but I prefer the rose." Endymion nodded in agreement as they continued to follow the path to the lake. As they neared it, the sound of people reached their ears. When the lake came into veiw, they saw dozens of people setting up banners and tents and benches. The ships where being brought up to the docks and anchored. Serenity led Endymion down to the lake shore and smiled.
"This," she said, "is Crystal Lake. Its called that because you can see straight down to the bottow, the water is that clear." Endymion nodded as he watched the small, brightly colored fish swimming about. He gazed up over the horizon and could faintly see the outline of the river that connected Crystal Lake to the Sea of Serenity. He turned his attention back to the princess who was staring at him, a beautiful smile gracing her lips.
"What?" he asked softly as he pulled her closer.
"Nothing," she replied. "You're just so handsome." He flashed her a smile that had made many women swoon and faint. He ran his hand through his thick, ebony hair.
"If you keep saying things like that you might inflate my ego," he said playfully. "And who needs another cocky prince?" Serenity lightly slapped him on the shoulder as she laughed. He caught her hand as she withdrew it and placed a soft kiss on the back of it. Serenity blushed at his gentlemanly gesture of respect.
"We definately do not need any more of THOSE," she said. "But we could do for a few more princes like you."
"Well, we don't need anymore princesses like you," he said. "If we did have more, there would be too many angels away from heaven." Serenity blushed a deeper shade of pink and smiled becomingly. She stood up on her tip toes and placed a small, tender kiss upon his lips. He took her into his arms and kissed her back, breathing in her intoxicating scent of vanilla. She opened her mouth and let a small moan escape her lips as his tongue delved into every nook and cranny of her mouth. He loved the sweet taste of her, the way she felt in his arms, and the way her hand fit his. He kissed her lips once more before resting his forehead against hers. Her cheeks were flushed a soft rosy color and her eyes were sparkling beautifully. "You're amazing," Endymion said. "I have never met anyone- princess or not- with a heart as pure as yours. And I have never laid eyes upon a more beautiful woman either." Serenity's heart skipped a beat and her stomach seemed to be filled with butterflies.
"And I have never met a man with such kindness, nor have I met a man that could compare with your looks either." Endymion smiled affectionately at her as he stroked her soft, golden hair. A soft giggle came from behind them and they turned to face it. There stood Rei and Chad, along with Mina and Andrew, and Ami and Greg. Serenity blushed and smiled.
"So how much were you here for?" she asked.
"Oh, we got here just after the kiss," Mina said. "It was like a scene from a romance novel or something." Endymion and Serenity both blushed and glanced at each other for comfort. The Moon Princess noticed the looks of excitement on the faces of the bunch before them and looked puzzled.
"What's going on?" she asked. "Why do you all look like you're about to explode with joy?"
"Well, you see..." Ami began nervously, as if she said what it was it would prove false.
"...the love bug has struck us all!" Mina exclaimed. "It seems each of our respective boyfriends decided to follow Ken's lead. We- that is, Rei, Ami, and myself- are going to be married!" Serenity's jaw dropped.
"What?" she managed to say after several attempts.
"Yes, a huge ceremony is being held at the celebration tomorrow," Rei said brightly. "We're getting married together. Its going to be wonderful!" Serenity's mind began working a mile a minute. Rei, Ami, Mina, and Lita are ALL getting married? That means I'll be the only one left! I wish I was getting married along with them..." Endymion noticed the sad look in her eyes and placed a soft kiss upon her cheek.
"Don't worry," he whispered into her ear, "your turn will come." She turned her head and stared into his deep cerulean eyes, and a promise gleamed in them. She turned to face her friends once more and she smiled broadly.
"I am so happy for all of you," she said. "Tomorrow will be a night to remember I'm sure. You have my blessing." The girls beamed at her, and they seperated to go their own ways.
