Stinky Situation
The king walks slowly into the palace, dragging his feet, and slumps down on the couch. He sits and stares at the wall until Minako notices him.
"Endymion-sama, why do you look so depressed?"
"Come closer, Minako-chan," he says gloomily.
She walks cautiously closer until she is about three feet away. "Woah! Endymion-sama, what happened?"
He leans over on his elbows, resting his head in his hands. "Have you ever seen a skunk in the garden?"
"Which one?"
"Pick one!"
"You got sprayed by a skunk?"
"Bingo."
Minako begins giggling. "Gomen nasai, but this could only happen to you."
"Yeah, it could..."
Endymion walks into his bedroom to find his wife laying upside down on the bed among a pile of papers. He approaches her and runs his fingers through her hair. She opens her eyes and sits up, smiling at her lover.
"Mamo-chan, how long have you been in here?"
"Not long... Working pretty hard huh," he says sarcastically.
Serenity laughs and hits Endymion playfully. "I've got to get this paperwork out tomorrow morning. You could be helping, you know."
"Aww, you're better at making decisions than I am."
Serenity leans closer to kiss him but stops inches away. "What is that horrid stench, Mamo-chan?" She covers her nose and mouth.
"Uh..." he searches for an answer. "Well, Honey, we really need the gardens checked for...critters."
"But there are no animals in the rose gardens."
"Tell that to my new, stinky friend, Usako."
"Smells like a new stinky intimate friend."
"Speaking of being intimate..." Endymion sits on the bed and holds her face in his hand, leaning in to kiss her.
Serenity gently pushes him away and tosses him a pillow. "No skunk is sleeping in this bed."
"Demo-"
"Don't even start, Mamo-chan. Until you get rid of that smell, it's the couch."
"But it's not my fault!"
"Well, you'll have to take that up with your stinky little friend now, won't you?"
Mamoru grabs the pillow and walks out of the room angrily, mumbling something about skunks and lawn mowers.
