A/N: Wow I was surprised to get so many in depth reviews this time so it may take a little while to respond to all of you.
Also I finally changed the title of Bedside Manner to something more suitable. You can now find it under Defying Destiny.
Taeniaea: A new reviewer! Thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy chapter 17 just as much!
Serena221: Lol thanks for your review, and don't worry Serenity and Caril will become much closer in order for me to truly debate whether or not to put them together. Trust me Serenity will need a friend like Caril in this chapter!
Ajrin: Glad you loved it, and just so you know your review for my other story was wonderful too…I need to respond to reviews with both my stories!
Sailorstars16: no worries you know how often I update this thing…I hope to get pretty far if not finished before school starts. If I have to update this around college you guys will kill me.
Mobileholmes: of course it wouldn't be sailor moon if bad things didn't happen everytime things were looking up.
Nick Johnson: Whoot questions to answer well here goes my best shot. 1- I was just mentioning to one of my friends that as of yet it seems as if this story doesn't have a plot…but it does. It's all about a great attack on the Moon Kingdom by the dark lord of the Negaverse…all this opening stuff will tie into it all at the end. 2- Someone already asked me this and I think the best place to do it is right after Serena defeats Beryl and the senshi all learn about being Princesses. Though in this version we're pretending Darien wasn't kidnapped. 3- As of right now it's only taking place on the Moon, I may have some Earth scenes later…I'm not sure. 4- Ages yes I forget how people want ages. Well since I have Serenity being 17 in my other fic I'll have her be about the same in this one, and Darien and the generals will be around 21, and Caril is 20. 5- Like I said in the beginning it's really after any random battle mainly because I didn't want to start off writing a long battle scene so I just started at the end of one. Wow…that was long thanks for reviewing!
Universeprincess911: Longer! Do you realize between my two stories I have written over 27,000 words in less than two weeks? I shall do my best to make this chapter longer for you.
JpJr:bows: yes I am very proud of that cliffhanger. Thanks for reviewing!
Chibi Strawberry Neko: LOL! I loved your review. I hope you felt better after reading the other chapters.
Sara: Lets see I shall try to answer some of your questions but many of them will be answered in the following chapters. I guess I'll work backwards…Serenity doesn't know that Venus thinks it was just lust… that'll come into play now that the girl has entered upon the scene. As for the forced marriage thing, Caril is stuck in the middle between his parents and his people wanting the marriage and him not wanting to hurt Serenity. The King and Queen expect Caril to follow their orders. As for fighting the Senshi, the King and Queen are trying to appeal to Serenity's hatred of war. Earlier Andrew mentioned how Saturn would easily lose a war against them. The rest of your questions will have to wait Thanks for the review!
Alicia: yes the "hussy" is back and trust me you'll find out the how, why and when in this chapter.
Silver Moonlight-81: Thanks again for your review! And as requested here is an update!
The woman offered a slight wave, to Endymion's blank stare. Andrew glanced over and noticed he had yet to move or blink, so he stepped forward to greet the woman loathe as he was to do so.
"I bid you greetings fair maiden, my I ask the pleasure of your name?" Andrew asked stepping before her and taking her hand. The girl wrenched her hand free of Andrew's grip and offered it to the still stunned Endymion.
"Prince Endymion, you may call me Avery." The woman flashed him an elegant smile, and bowed low before him. Her words broke Endymion out of his trance, and he lifted the woman up from her bow.
"Now my dear Avery there is no need for formalities such as that. Tell me how did you find me here?" Endymion asked his words coming from him in a rush and he ignored the rather confused look on Andrew's face.
Andrew just stared at the scene before him. Hadn't they all just gotten over this? Didn't Serenity say they had all wrongly judged him…but if that was so what was going on? One minute Endymion seemed to love Serenity with all his heart, and then this woman shows up and suddenly he's acting like a lovesick puppy. He had to get the Senshi to investigate.
"Oh Endymion I knew who you were from the moment I met you. You see I used to work her in the palace when the attack came, you and I were good friends before we were sent into the future." Avery spoke softly trying to sound as shy as possible, it made her seem more believable. Luckily Enydmion did not seem phased at all by her lie, he was too enamored with her to really pay attention to what she was really saying.
"It's really nice to see you again…" Endymion began not knowing at all what to say to the beautiful woman before him. He couldn't believe how much he wanted to be with this woman, he felt young and foolish, Serenity didn't even make him feel this way. For a moment thoughts of Serenity brought him back to reality and he moved to leave, but words from Avery brought him back to her side.
"I missed you so much Endymion. We have been apart for too long…" Avery smiled happy to see him entwined within her trap. She leaned in and softly kissed the Prince, who eagerly returned it. She looked around to see many of the palace workers looking at them with gaping mouths.
They will still kissing when Andrew returned with the Senshi and their guardians. They all stopped in their tracks, and Lita and Michelle instinctively reached out to hold back Amara.
"We can't let Serenity find out about this! She'll lose her powers again!" Luna whispered to the Senshi.
Kunzite and the other generals came up from behind the Senshi and couldn't believe their eyes. Prince Endymion kissing another woman? And right in the main hall no less.
The Senshi and the generals looked at each other, at a loss for what to do. Andrew stepped in, thinking constantly of protecting Serenity from getting hurt.
"Alright Jedite, Zoicite, Nephrite you guys find a way to get Endymion away from that woman! Senshi you guys find a way to keep that woman away from Endymion…make sure those two never see each other until we can figure this out. Kunzite, you and I will go to Caril and tell him what happened and to make sure Serenity reminds in her room away from these two. Got it?" Everyone nodded and Kunzite and Andrew left them to separate the two lustful lovers.
"Endy! Come on you promised to practice with us once we got here!" Jedite called coming up from behind Endymion and pulling him away from Avery.
"Wha-Can't this wait?" Endymion asked straining toward the woman. The generals shared a look of helplessness. What has gotten into him?
"No, see SwordMaster has arrived and he says you need to start training for the big battle." Jedite said hoping Enydmion couldn't tell that he was making it up as he went along. Nephrite caught his eye and mouthed "What?" Jedite shrugged his shoulders.
"uh..fine fine. Excuse me my lady. I shall return as soon as possible." Endymion said reluctantly leaving her side in the firm grasp of the generals.
"And while you're waiting we'll show you to a room." The senshi said nervously. Avery scowled at the retreating Endymion but allowed herself to be led away by them.
As soon as Endymion had walked a fair distance from the generals the three men began screaming at his stupidity.
"Endymion! What has gotten into you! You have Serenity! The most beautiful woman in the Universe and you're about to lose her to some hussy?" Jedite said unable to hold his silence any longer.
"Yes Endymion explain it to us how can you hurt Serenity like this?" Nephrite asked, feeling his loyalties to his Prince collide with his love for Serenity.
Endymion stopped and looked at his three generals, who looked back at him with accusing eyes.
"Tell me a brunette didn't just show up in the main hall." Endymion asked slowly, to his dismay the generals shared a look and then nodded.
"Oh Selene, please tell me I didn't just kiss her." Again the generals shared a look and nodded their answer. Endymion fell to the floor with his head in his hands.
"Come on Endymion tell us what does that woman have that is worth losing Serenity?" Zoicite asked trying to find a reason to keep his loyalty to his Prince.
"I don't think there is a reason that could justify hurting Serenity." Nephrite said slowly anger burning in his eyes. Jedite nodded at Nephrite and then kneeled down beside his Prince.
"Tell us Endymion, what happened? Our loyalty is to you, but we also can't let you just hurt someone as kind hearted as Serenity." Jedite spoke softly his hand on Endymion's shoulder. Trying to make his friend understand how they felt towards him treating Serenity like this.
"I love her." Endymion finally said softly. The three men were taken aback by this comment.
"WHAT!" Jedite was the first to speak his shock. "You love that crazed vixen more than Serenity?" Jedite said, suddenly wondering if he should take back his words of loyalty to Endymion.
"NO!" Endymion's yell caused all of the generals to jump and it no doubt echoed throughout the castle. "I love Serenity, I love her more than anything in this universe…"
"Then why…" Nephrite began realizing the pain of his prince.
"I don't know…that woman…Avery…when I'm with her all I can think about is kissing her…and …and being with her." The generals let out a gasp
"You haven't…" Zoicite began but trailed off unable to finish.
"No but when I'm around her the desire to is is unbearable." Endymion said, emotion welling up within him. He had betrayed her once again, in her own castle he had betrayed her.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Andrew and Kunzite stood at the door to Serenity's chambers.
"You ready for this?" Andrew asked the man beside him.
"Not even close." Kunzite said. "Do you think we'll be able to tell Caril without Serenity finding out?"
"Not a chance." Andrew replied. Both men gulped and Kunzite opened the door.
"Kunzite! Andrew! Where's my shake?" Serenity called happily from the bed. Serenity looked so happy and so did Caril sitting on the bed beside her.
"Are you sure we can't just lock her in and pretend like nothing happened?" Kunzite whispered to Andrew as Serenity returned to her conversation with Caril.
"She'll break the door down. We need to make sure Caril knows to keep her in here. I'll talk to Caril while you keep Serenity busy." Kunzite nodded and headed over to Serenity's bedside while Andrew motioned over to Caril.
"Prince Andrew is something wrong?" Caril said as he walked up to Andrew. Looking over Andrew saw that Serenity was watching them.
"No of course not! I simply heard that you had never had a milkshake and wanted to find out if that was true for myself." Andrew spoke loudly and saw Serenity give a small giggle and then be distracted by Kunzite.
Caril stayed by Andrew till they made sure Serenity was deep in conversation with Kunzite.
"I have come to tell you that under no circumstances is Serenity to leave her quarters." Andrew said sternly. Caril looked at him in shock.
"Has the dark lord made his attack already?" Caril said his hand reaching for the sword at his belt.
"No, but an enemy is in the palace." And Andrew proceeded to explain the sight he had witnessed moments before. Anger crossed Caril's face as he understood why Serenity was being placed under house arrest.
"No Caril, don't go back to her angry…she'll suspect. Laugh and be your happy self, remember Serenity is very good at sensing emotions. No doubt she is already suspicious.
In response Caril burst into a cheerful laugh and turned his smile toward Serenity.
"Kunzite, enough goofing off with the Princess you have work training your men." Kunzite faked an exasperated sigh and gave Serenity a kiss on the cheek before following Andrew out.
Caril resumed his place by Serenity and said the first thing he could think of to keep her mind off his conversation with Andrew.
"Did anyone ever tell you your hair looks like meatballs?
