After what seemed like an eternity later, I was woken from my deep slumber by a large, warm, hand at my waist, rocking it back and forth slightly as a voice near my ear left warm moisture as it whispered; "Serenity….Sere? Serenity, wake up…"

My eyes fluttered open as the hand moved to my upper arm; I turned over and opened my eyes only to see a handsome pair of beautiful blue eyes staring back at me, bangs of black hair blending in with the shadows as they fell sexily over his eyes.

"M..mm…En….dym..ion? Is that you? Wha…wh..what are you doing here? Go away; I wanna sleep.." I whispered, burrowing deeper in the warmth of my blankets as a chilly breeze swept through the window beside my bed.

"But I want to show you something…" He said.

"Hm? What?"

"Come, follow me…"

"Did you see General Kunzite last night, with the Princess of Venus?" Endymion questioned as we made our way out of my room and back to the ballroom for whatever reason I did not know.

"Um…yes….why would this matter?"

"Well, you look," Endymion spoke as we walked across the ballroom and around a pillar, "And tell me."

I gasped at the sight I saw. There, on the walkway, lay Mina-chan and General Kunzite; Kunzite's cape draped over their seemingly naked bodies as they lay, fast asleep, and limbs entwined.

My hand flew to my mouth as I looked the other way and closed my eyes, "Oh my god…How could….why would Mina-Chan give herself away after just one night of knowing someone..!"

"It wasn't just last night; you know….it has been going on for over a year now. When alone with me, almost all he ever spoke of was a blonde-haired, fair-skinned beauty he loved so very much."

"But how….why would she not tell this to me, her friend! We see each other every other day!"

Endymion had no reply.

"Uhm….oh gosh…..Well…one of us has to wake them up, Endymion…We can't let their parents or….or mother find out…." I had whispered glancing his way.

Endymion looked at me for a moment before sighing as he leaned forward and tapped the general's shoulder, and I ran. I couldn't bear to see that anymore. It felt too weird…and besides, I just couldn't picture one of my best friends with a man, let alone see it …it was unreal.

I stopped to catch my breath near the dining hall. The light from small burning candlesticks near the walls cast dim light across the maroon draperies that fell across the walls. A breeze from a nearby window sent chills up my spine as I watched the first rays of sunlight making a new day rise over the hills far across the land.

What was I going to say next time I saw Minako? I didn't know. I was too disgusted and nauseous to think on it. I didn't even want to hear her voice or see her.

But, naturally, I couldn't get my one wish, for Mina's voice, small and hesitant, reached through the thick air to my ears, "Sere…"

"What? Go away!" I snapped before I knew what I was saying or doing, I was running again. I heard her call after me, but I didn't stop. I still kept going.

I only stopped running when I collapsed in an unfamiliar corridor, out of breath and muscles aching too much to move. This palace was too damn big; I wouldn't have been surprised if, one day, a dead body was found in a closet of an unused room. But, thankfully, that never happened. However, I felt the same fate to possibly befall me, though, not in the same place.

I heard slow footsteps at the entrance of the corridor but my throat hurt to move, so I lay there, painful and scared.

Then I heard a familiar voice that warmed my heart oddly and relaxed my tensions, "Serenity!"

"Oh, Sere-kun…..Why did you run off like that! Odango! What a dummy!" A worried voice sounded from somewhere as two warm arms wrapped around me and rested my back against himself.

"You haven't…called me that in a while….Endymion…" I muttered with a smile as a cool hand was placed against my face.

I blinked a couple of times before Endymion's face focused into view. I attempted to stand, he helped.

"I shouldn't have shown you…." He muttered as he draped an arm across my back and held me to him, grasping one of my hands with his own free one.

I wanted to scream at him, 'Of course you shouldn't have!' but I didn't, I simply said nothing.

"However," Endymion continued, "This happens everyday….not under the same circumstances; I would think, but…what Kunzite and Minako-san did. It is a concept you must learn to accept."

Suddenly, my muscles regained their strength and I found myself whipping out of Endymion's arms, sending him stumbling a couple steps backwards.

"I DON'T need you to tell me what I shall and shall not have to learn to accept, Prince! Now, if you will excuse me, there is a comfortable bed with my name on it! And don't talk to me anymore, either….JERK!"

And I sped off, ignoring Endymion's pleas for my return. And, though I tried very hard to sleep, the image of Endymion's face haunted my thoughts and stirred my heart.

The next morning was quite…how shall I put this….eventful.

Somewhere between five and six o' clock in the morning I must have dozed off, for I was suddenly woken up by a number of screams and laughs coming from somewhere. I sat up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes as I looked around the room, finding it empty. The sun was just rising among a sea of purple, orange and red. I looked out the window only to see the princesses with the princes standing just below it, trying to hush the louder ones of the group. Minako was there too, shamelessly standing there in Malachite's arms, arm above her head and around his neck. I wanted to cry. She knew what love felt like, she knew everything. I was just a childish girl whose only hope for romance was being lucky enough to get a decent suitor, never could I even dream of a true love…that was not allowed.

I slammed the window shut and watched the glass quiver as a loud bang echoed through the room. I starred down at the couple below my window, but just as Minako turned her head-I vanished from the window.

That day, and the next week up until june 8th did not go to very well. I mean, the festival was great…but the relationships between Endymion and me, as well as me and Minako-chan were falling apart….Not that much was there with me and Endymion to begin with. Endymion would either ignore me, or the other way around…but I was the one ignoring Minako.

On the tenth of June, after one more stressing day of the uneasiness, I was alone in my room, preparing myself for bed, when an urgent knocking sounded on the door. The girls were gone, still at the festival taking place outside the palace gates, but I was tired from all the singing I had done while entertaining an audience. The deal was; they had to pay 50 dollars to hear me sing, and due to the idolization I received at the time, many people wanted to see me. And I was singing for a bit over two and a half hours…who wouldn't be tired by then? Anyway, I stood from my vanity, and called, "Who is it?"

No answer.

"Please state your name."

No answer but a loud knock on the door; more frustrated and urgent than before.

I went to the door and opened it only to see a worn and upset Endymion before me. I suddenly felt naked in my low-cut evening down…my figure could be seen through it. My hair was down, reaching the floor, and my usual make up was gone.

Endymion walked in the room, not even waiting for an invitation.

"E….Endymion…I order you to…GET OUT." I stuttered as he sad down on my bed.

He layed back on my white satin sheets and stretched his arms behind his head, and his legs wide apart. I gasped and turned away. He was wearing tight-fitting black pants and a thin black shirt that reached to his wrists.

"I really do not appreciate being avoided, Serenity…I…"

"Get…out…En..Prince." I muttered as a blush crossed my face.

Endymion sat up and looked at me, "Serenity come here.."

I shook my head.

But one glance into his blue eyes had me bound. As if in a trance, I cautiously approached him.

I stopped a couple feet from him but he urged me closer until I was standing so close to him, I was almost touching his chest.

I looked away from him, fearing tears would prick my eyes if I didn't. The guilt from being so mad at him over truth was almost unbearable.

His hand touched the side of my face and gently tilted me to look into his face, immediately tears sprang forward from me as he spoke, "Are you really oh so mad at me…for something that is honest truth? Can you really be so mad at Minako-san….for having a lover? Can you, Serenity? Can't you also let go of the bitter past we shared together and forgive old grudges?"

His face blurred into the tears and I said, "En…Endy-cha…-Endymion…I'm sorry! I'm a fool…forgive me…please…"

I felt a warm, soft, hand caress my closed eyes and wipe tears from my face, "Serenity, do not be so dramatic…It is not anything that cannot be healed or fixed…Forgiving is all that is needed…And less petty attitude…"

I nodded dumbly and Endymion smiled. He enveloped me in his warm embrace and nuzzled my neck as he led a trail of kisses from my neck to my shoulder.

I held him to me tightly as we collapsed onto the bed together, in a tangle of arms and legs, kissing, touching, but I stopped all once something happened…

Endymion was kissing up my neck, when he reached my lips and whispered, "I love you, Serenity…oh, how I love you…" I could smell the alcohol on his breath. It was fake. What he just said was fake.

I pushed him off me and slid my evening gown back into place, leaving a questioning.. And shirtless...Endymion.

"Leave, Endymion…NOW!"

Without a word but a sad glance, Endymion fixed his belt and shirt and was out the door as if he were never there.

It could have happened….We could have done it….gone all the way…crossed the line…And he was drunk…

I cried as I collapsed to the floor, taking my perfume bottle and throwing it into a wall, watching with a sort of comfort as the bottle shattered and its sweet contents spilled everywhere…just like my hopes that he did love me had flooded my soul mere moments ago…How could Endymion do this…to me?
