A/N: Please Review! I would get down on my knees and beg but you wouldn't seen that so it wouldn't make sense. But hey parts of this are from reoccurring dreams I had in my childhood and to this day. I may write the others too. But only if you review…now that I'm into this one I think the others might be better…more Darien and Serena conflict...but then this one will have a lot soon…anywho review please!
"Endymion there is much you must know, and for the moment I am sure you are the last person she wishes to see." Darien shot back a surprised look at Andrew, he had thought Andrew was on his side.
"Something is bothering Serena, I must find out what it is and help her." Darien said and once again got up to follow her.
"Do you not remember what she said? Do you truly remember who she is? Or do you only know the person she was pretending to be? Your answer to that weighs heavily on what troubles the Princess tonight." Andrew stared into the fire. Here they were, her dearest friends and her lover, and none of them even remembered the real her, they only knew they were all supposed to be friends. Luna and Artemis were the only ones who remembered what Princess Serena was like.
"What do you mean pretending?" Lita asked softly, was it possible that Serena wasn't really ditzy and clumsy? And did that change how she felt about Serena?
"Sit all of you…" he said motioning to Darien who still wanted to go after Serena. "She is as graceful as a swan, light on her feet in battle, she is the best swordsman in all the kingdom, she is charming and witty. She as loyal as you all know her to be, and among unimportant matters she can be late, boys will still take her mind from anything." He smiled here thinking about his beloved sister. "She is a mischievous one, skilled at writing at the piano, she devours books of all kinds, she is well enough in other subjects but she was never as good as you Ami. All that you loved about her is still there, she simply has the grace and manner of a Princess that she had to hide in order to protect herself and the rest of you."
The senshi looked at each other in shock, all this time they had been wondering how Serena could ever be princess, and now they knew that it was all false. Darien stared into the fire, was it possible he didn't know Serena at all. He remembered the dreams he had when he was first chasing the crystals for his princess, she was beautiful and graceful, was the princess inside of Serena that he loved or was it Serena….
A man storming angrily toward them broke all of them out of their thoughts. Lita and Raye shared a look that could clearly showed their attraction. He was royal his attire proved that, and his eyes glared right at Andrew.
"What kind of welcome is this? A royal party comes to see the Princess and we get shoved a side without so much as a care! I hope you have an explanation for this Prince Andrew. Is your sister here or isn't she? I will not be made a fool of Prince Andrew, and if you want this treaty signed we need the Princess."
Andrew looked up at the man, in no way swayed but his harsh words. "You are early, and by early I mean two weeks. The Princess has only arrived yesterday, and if you hadn't noticed we were attacked a few hours ago. So if you'll forgive me for not rushing to greet those who wish to buy my sister for peace! You assume too much tromping in here at your own will and expecting the Princess to fall at the feet of your Prince. I will not have it and neither will she. The royal family will stand by their word and give the Princess ample time to make her decision, or I will have to remind you who is in greater need of this treaty. Though we would spare the lives that would be lost, our power does exceed that of yours." With that Andrew motioned the man away not allowing him to say another word.
Andrew then turned to face Prince Endymion. "And that is why you must let Serena now if you remember her and if you love her the way she is, because if you love her, our people will be forced into war. While our people would gladly fight for the happiness of their princess, and it is a fight we would win, Serena never takes war easily, nor the loss of life for either side. Even if you love her as she is, it is possible she will choose to marry Prince Caril of Saturn." Andrew then motioned for Darien to follow Serena out to the balcony.
