There are many things in this world that do not belong to
me. Sailor Moon is but one of them.


I've tried to incorporate some peoples suggestions about
making the story easier to read, I hope it works. Let me
know if you find any problems! I hope this chapter gives
you an insight into their secret world. Sorry it's so
short.

Maid for You - Chapter 9

Time went swiftly by and as it did, their relationship
improved. They found in each other not only love, but also
friendship, a fact which served to increase the depth of
understanding they had for each other. They could tell each
other anything and know that the secret was safe. The
nights were the best. Sometimes they made love, other time
s they were content to be close. They were safer at night.
Then, the chances of being discovered were minimal.
They were careful that they didn't arouse any ones
suspicions, but there were always risks. Serena wondered if
Jessica suspected, Endymion worried that his father would
find out. He was deeply in love by now - he was terrified
that she might be taken from him. As a result, he showed
his feelings whenever he could.
As Serena soon found out, he was a real romantic. One
night, as she entered the room, he caught her from behind
and whispered in her ear,
"Do you believe in magic Serena?" She laughed out loud.
"Of course I do! I have seen your powers with my own
eyes!"
"Good." He replied. " I just wanted to make sure." He
stepped back and she turned to face him. In his hand was a
single red rose. Serena's eyes opened wide.
"Where did that come from?" She asked in amazement. He
laughed at her expression.
"Magic!" He flicked his wrist and another rose appeared.
Serena was delighted.
" How did you learn to do that?" She asked. He shrugged.
"It wasn't something I learned. Like the healing powers,
it's part of me." His face took on a mischievous
expression. "Would you like to see a trick?" Serena,
enjoying Endymion's playfulness, nodded eagerly. He took an
apple from the fruit bowl and placed it on the floor.
Walking to the other side of the room, he took aim with the
rose and threw it. The flower sliced through the apple in a
single stroke. Astounded, Serena ran over and pulled the
rose from the floor.
"Why, they have sharp tips!" She exclaimed. " How
wonderful!" He grinned.
"They go through anything! They can be quite useful!" And
Serena laughed as he casually used the rose to peel the
apple.
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she looked up at him.
"I love you." She smiled. "You make me so happy." He
tenderly touched her face.
"I love you too."
"Endymion?"
"Yes?" She paused.
"We'll always be together won't we? You won't ever leave
me?" Slowly, he put his hand under her chin and tilted her
head. He looked down at the woman in his arms.
"I promise" He said, "Somehow, we will always be
together." He knew what a risk he was taking in promising
her that. Although he loved her, they both knew that he
would one day be expected to take a wife and have heirs.
They also knew that that woman would not, could not, be
Serena.
But he did not wish to think of that today. He quickly
changed the mood by pulling her in for a kiss. He'd cross
that bridge when he came to it.

A few weeks later, Endymion was informed that the Lord of
the Southern Hills was bringing his family to dinner.
Inwardly he groaned, for it meant another tiresome dinner
party, also the Lord had a 16 year old daughter.
"I've heard she's very pretty!" King Sol said
enthusiastically. "Maybe we can finally find you a bride
Endymion!" The prince froze.
"No!" his cried silently. It was too soon, he just
couldn't! His mother must have noticed his expression, for
she spoke up on his behalf.
"Really, Sol, he's far too young. Let him court a little
first!" At her words, Endymion offered up a silent prayer
of thanks. He still had time. But how long? He wasn't sure.
He desperately wanted to tell them that he'd found his
beloved, the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life
with, but he could not and it broke his heart.

The day of the dinner party came quickly and Endymion
groaned in despair. He truly hated these things. He rolled
over in bed and pulled the blankets up further until they
covered his head, in a vain attempt to ignore the day.
Serena laughed at his actions.
"Come on baby, you really have to get up!" She was already
up, dressed and working. She sighed as he simply buried
himself further into the bed. He normally woke her in the
mornings, today the roles were definitely reversed. Lifting
the blankets, she peered into the darkness. "Endymion? You
really have to -YEEK!" She squealed as his hands shot out
and pulled her into the bed. "What are you doing?!" she
giggled.
"Procrastinating" He mumbled as he began to trail kisses
down her neck. Unable to help herself, she instantly
relaxed.
"Oh I shouldn't" She murmured as his caresses sent waves
of pleasure running through her.
The situation would probably have resulted in Serena
needing to get dressed again, but at that moment, there was
a knock on the door!
"Endymion? Are you awake? I must speak with you!" Endymion
and Serena froze, for it was the Queen at Endymion's door!
Then Serena moved, jumping out of the bed and hurriedly
straightening her uniform.
"I'm awake mother!" Cried Endymion, jumping out of bed and
grabbing a robe. The door clicked and Serena rushed to the
window to draw back the drapes. A moment later the queen
was in the room.
She surveyed the scene and then her son. "Endymion why are
you not dressed? There is much to be done today." He
searched for an excuse. "I simply overslept mother." He
said, knowing how it sounded. She glared at him. "Really.
Well then, I suggest you move now and quickly." With an
exasperated sigh, she left the room.

The moment she had gone, Serena sank into a chair.
"That was close." Nodding, Endymion sat besides her and
ran his hand through his hair.
"I agree. We must be more careful." Serena agreed.
"It's so hard though." She said.
"Yes" He replied, but it's better than being apart."
Serena could not disagree.
