A/N: Sorry its been so long. I kinda ost mymuse, and a bunch of other story ideaspopped into my head and I had to get them out. I don't think this is my best work, but I hope you like it!


Usagi happily stretched in her huge bed. She had the sheets pooled all around her and she felt completely comfortable. This princess-thing has its perks. Not only am I allowed to take naps, I'm expected too. Mmm. Those were her last thoughts as she drifted peacefully into a dreamless sleep. When she finally woke up, she turned over and noticed something on her pillow.

There was a beautiful lavender full-bloomed rose. Usagi smiled at the beauty of it. Then she saw a note attached to it. She brought the rose to her nose and inhaled its wonderful scent. Then she read the attached note.

"Lavender is for remorse. Does sorry work if I say it with flowers?

Your Masked Man"

Usagi scrunched her nose. Mamoru. With an angry face, she walked out of her room and had her Senshi and past self greet her. Usagi crumpled up the paper and threw it out. She was about to throw the rose away when five girls stopped her. "Usagi! Why would you throw away such a beautiful rose?" Mina asked, almost aghast.

Usagi rolled her eyes. "Because of its supplier," she said simply.

"Oh? And who was that?" Amy asked, her usually curious nature coming out yet again.

"Mamoru," Usagi said in somewhat of a growl. Then she looked over at Serenity and saw she had an eyebrow quirked. Then she remembered their agreement. "I changed my mind, do you have a vase I can put this in?" she asked through clenched teeth. Serenity gave her a cocky smile. Fine. I won't throw it away. But I refuse to be happy about the gift!


Dinner wasn't quite as bad as breakfast was. They were still in their same seating arrangements, but the conversation was lighter. Someone had gotten Chadwick, who had begged to be called Chad, on the subject on embarrassing stories. Most of the stories resulted in red faces on Endymion and his fiends, and laughter gracing the lips on the princesses. Queen Selenity remembered her place and decided not to further belittle the humiliated Earthlings.

"Wait, wait! No one's told any stories about good old Chadwick here!" Joseph proclaimed after the main course was finished.

"And no one should!" Chad declared a little too quickly.

Everyone was ignoring his protests. "What about you, Greg? Do you have any good ones we can let loose?" Endymion suggested.

"Well, I do recall one involving Endymion's grandmother," Greg teased, sending a wink Amy's was, making her blush.

At the mention of this story, Chad went bright red. "No! NO NO NO! Greg! Greg, please!" he begged, but to no avail, Gregorius was already weaving the tale.

"Well, you see, one weekend, Endymion's grandmother was visiting. It was a fine weekend, and then on Saturday night, us guys were going to a friend's house, and Chad was taking forever to get ready…"

"There you go! That's the story! I take a long time to get ready. I am so embarrassed. We can stop now right?" he rambled on.

He was silenced by a fire priestess. "Be quiet! I want him to finish the story!" A chorus of 'yea's' followed, so Greg continued.

"Okay, so as we were waiting he said all he had left to do was brush his teeth. So he goes into the washroom and…" He paused for dramatic effect. Chad sank lower into his chair. "Well, from the sounds of the two high-pitched screams, I'd say he got a 'royal view!"

Everyone busted out into laughter this time, including the previously silent King and Queen. Chad flushed brighter than before and sank lower. Raye noticed his situation. "Oh come on, Chad. We were only poking fun, like we've been doing all night." He got a little happier and rose. "I just wished you would have told me before that you like older women." Raye felt a twinge of guilt, but she just couldn't help herself.

"You know, in the spirit of things, I don't believe we've heard a story about Endymion either," Lita pointed out proudly.

Endymion's eyes grew wide. Mina got a huge grin on her face. "That's true. I mean, its only fair."

Druisus pondered for a moment. Then a thought struck him and his face lit up. "Guys, how about the hunting story?" The guys all whooped and King Endymion got an evil smile on his lips.

"I will NOT forgive you guys if you tell that story!" Endymion warned, looking down the table at his 'friends.'

"That's a risk they'll take!" Serenity said quickly. Everyone looked at her and she reddened slightly. "What? I wanna hear the story!" she said in a whiny voice. The girls all laughed. "Come on, Druisus!"

"Okay, one day, King Endymion was taking the five of us out hunting." Prince Endymion buried his face in his hands. "And so, young Endymion began to wander off and he found a small bear cub." All of the girls cooed and 'aww'-ed. "And so, he goes over to hug the bear and the bear knocks him down. And then" he paused for dramatic effect "the bear started to pee on Endymion." Everyone burst out into laughter.

After a full five minutes of laughing, Endymion got up from the table. "Serenity?" Serenity looked up and she had tears in her eyes from laughing so much. "Would you like to go on an evening stroll with me?" he asked, nervous to talk to a woman. This had never happened to him before.

Serenity opened her mouth to vehemently refuse, but then she saw Usagi smiling sickly-sweetly at her. She took a deep breath. "It would be my pleasure, Prince Endymion." Any good listener could hear the venom laced into the last two words. The receiver of the words visibly cringed, but offered his hand to Princess Serenity. She completely ignored it and walked out of the room, Endymion quickly ran to catch up to her.

She walked ahead of him as they strolled around the palace' perimeter. Finally he got in front of her and she stopped abruptly. "I want to talk to you, Serenity."

She released a sigh of exasperation. "I'm walking with you, why can't you just be happy with that?" She groaned as he led her to a nearby bench. She sat down and he got down on his knees.

"I need to tell you that I'm really, really sorry. What I did was stupid and irresponsible and mean and—"

"Just stop Endymion!" Serenity cried and stood up. "You don't mean this, even though its true. You were a bastard, you were stupid, you hurt me AND you embarrassed me in front of all of my friends and my family!" she was now sobbing.

"Serenity, no I really am sorry, I-" Endymion tried to grab her arm, but she wrenched away from him.

"Don't you dare touch me!" she cried, shaking. Then she ran away, back to her palace to cry herself to sleep in bed.


I made up the lavendar meaning. Just so I don't get reviews ranting about what it really means.
