Okay, okay I know. It's been so long, and this chapters soooo short. But please forgive me. The next chapter will be longer and we'll meet my new character...mwahaha.
"Serenity," Endymion said in a singsong voice.
"What, Endymion!" Serenity snapped back.
"I have something to tell you," he said.
"Oh?" she responded hopefully.
"Yeah, I think we should get a new couch," he said, patting the cushions on the couch he was laying on. "Its all hard and uncomfortable," he said, shifting his wait around.
"Why should I care about how you think the couch feels? I'm not the one who has to sleep on it for the next week!" Serenity yelled back at him.
"Come on, Usako! It was a term of endearment."
As soon as he said that, he heard shuffling and Neo-Queen Serenity stood in their bedroom doorframe. Her hair was down, pooling around her feet and she was wearing a sheer, long nightgown that made her look just like an angel. "Endearment? It was the name you tormented me with for just under a year!" she screeched, making him wince.
"Yes, but I was only calling you that to mask my true feelings," he defended. She continued her glare. "I love you?"
Serenity crossed her arms across her chest and walked over to the couch he was laying on with blankets bundled up around him. "Why did I marry you?" she asked him. He lifted up the blankets for her to join him. Then she grinned, "Oh, that's right, good breeding." She laid herself on top of him.
"I see, I'm nothing but a piece of meat to you," he feigned hurt even as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Damn straight, better get used to it," she said, moving closer into his embrace.
"This couch is much more comfortable with you on it too," Endymion said while running his fingers through his wife's hair.
"I'll let you come to bed if you tell me what you were hiding from me earlier," she said, kissing his neck softly.
He groaned, in pleasure and in pain. "I can't Sere," he said and then gasped as she began to kiss his chest. She looked up at him expectantly. "I really wish I hadn't promised I wouldn't tell, or else I would tell you in an instant!" Serenity got up off him, and shrugged her shoulders. She swung her hips purposely as she made her way to the bedroom.
Then she looked over her shoulder at him. "Well? Aren't you coming?" she asked, offering him her hand. He quickly got up and grasped her hand.
Chibiusa and Helios were 'greeting' each other. She pushed herself off his chest and pouted out her lip. "Did you notice the way my mother said I 'came' to her?" she asked.
Helios rolled his eyes. "Chibiusa! For the tenth time, it was just a figure of speech." He pulled her down and they began to make-out, er, greet each other some more.
"But I mean, really! She could've just said I was born!"
Helios groaned and pushed Chibiusa off of him. He began pacing the room. "Maiden, come on! Get over it already! It was just a choice of words!" he drawled. Small Lady frowned at him and lowered her eyes. He sighed. "Look, I'm sorry. It's just I'm a little stressed out lately."
Chibiusa got up and walked over to him. "Yeah I noticed," she said, stroking his arm. "What's up? Things not going well at the shrine?"
Helios reddened and looked away. "Er, no. It's, uh, not that."
She frowned and moved closer to him. "Please tell me what's wrong."
He grabbed her shoulders and forced himself to look her in the eye. "Nothing's wrong really…" Then, he got down on one knee, making her gasp. "Chibiusa, I love you. I've loved you since I saw you in those ugly blue pajamas. Your beautiful dreams saved me from purgatory. So, do you think you would do me the pleasure of becoming my one and only wife, forever?" He pulled out a ring with a gold band and a crystal clear diamond in the setting.
"WORLD SHAKING!" The yellow orb shot out into the shadows, but it was answered by cackling and black lightning. "Dammit!" Sailor Uranus cursed, her attack being deemed useless.
Sailor Neptune jumped in front of her lover and said, "Let me have a try. DEEP SUBMERGE!" The watery sphere dove into the shadowy mist, but it was answered by an earthquake. While Neptune and Uranus were trying to remain steady, a solid bolt of lightning came out from the shadows and hit them both.
They fell back, hard. When they looked up, they saw ten or eleven identical bolts coming after them. "SILENCE WALL!" The teenaged Senshi commanded, wielding her glaive. She turned her head around to smile reassuringly at her fallen comrades. Then she felt the energy of her barrier begin to fade, and the lightning began to crackle harder around them.
The last words they heard before they succumbed to the darkness were, "FULL MOON SHINE!"
