chapter 7: Secrets and Love

Serenity and Darien waved good-bye to the sun children as the plane took off . Travis, Astra, ans Solana were off to Canada to attend a family function. Once the plane was out of sight, Serenity turned to Darien, "So, we are by ourselves for a week. What do you have planned?"

"You'll just have to wait and see, Princess." Darien teased as he turned and headed back toward the car. Serenity following not far behind whinning that he should tell her what he had planned and him responding that it is a surprise.

>>>>> On the plane

"Are we out of sight?"

"I think so, Astra."

"Good, then lets get home,girls."

In a flash of red, orange, and yellow the three stowaways disappeared.

>>>>>Back to Serenity and Darien

It was late morning when Darien had blindfolded his fiance as soon as they reached the car and they were now speeding down the road to a wooded area. Slowly pulling into a dirt driveway hidden off to the side of the road among the trees, Darien came to a stop. "Ready to see your surprise?"

Serenity nodded and laughed. Darien slowly undid the blind fold and a beautiful hidden cottage came into view. She squealed in delight as she hugged him and jumped out of the car to explore the cottage. Smiling Darien climbed out of the car, "She'll probably kill me if she finds out I used the Golden Crystal to create this get away for us. But I wanted to have a special week with her before everyone shows up."

"Endy, you coming?"

Darien then looked down to notice that he had indeed transformed into his prince form, he laughed this was indeed going to be a special week, "Yes, Sere. I am just grabbing the luggage."

"Luggage?Oh know I didn't pack anything!" Serenity screamed as she came running out of the cottage.

Endymion (because he had transformed) laughed as a frantic Serenity came towards him. He swept her of her feet and placed her on the hood of the car as she faught to get back in the car to go and get some supplies. "Sweet, Serenity. Did you really think I would plan this and forget to pack your luggage?" Endy laughed as Serenity started to calm down. "I had Astra and Solana pack things for you."

Serenity kissed him as he carried her into the cottage. He put a magical barrier around the cottage and brought his attention back to his beautiful fiance. They didn't emerge until late evening . (I am not making this a hentai sorry>)

"Oh, Endy. This place is so beautiful, how did you find it?"

"Let's just say the Earth told me," Serenity smiled drooped a little but didn't push the subject, as they continued to walk around the cottage exploring the different paths and trails.

By the time they returned to the cottage the sun was on the rise. They slowly entered the silent cottage and climbed the stairs to the master bedroom and after Endymion removed the armor from his clothings they climbed into bed.

Serenity awoke the next morning to breakfast in bed with Endymion gazing down at her. She smiled at him and pulled him down on top of her, kissing him passionatly . The week passed by lazily in much the same way. Serenity would wake up to breakfast and Endymion waiting for her; long walks in the woods; talking and enjoying each others company and even just relaxing curled up enjoying the silence.

The week passed by much too quickly for Serenity but at the end of the week they piled back into the car and headed back to the city.

>>>>>Elsewhere (I am being evil you will have to figure this part out...for now)

Prince Tranquility followed by his two cousins approached a group of nobles. Tranquility in lead bowed before addressing the group, "We are here, what is the meaning of this summon?"

"You have been out of touch for weeks now and we need a report," Declared a tall golden haired man with a crown.

"Serenity and Endymion are together with a wedding planned for next month. The Inner senshi betrayed her and her daughter has come to test loyalties of all senshi."

"That is very important information. Why did you with hold it?"

"Your highness, we withheld nothing. Your daughter and her husband-to-be have become very close to us and it is difficult to get communitcations through without them finding out that the sun kingdom still thrives and that we are still who we were not reincarnated versions of ourselves."

"Very well, Astraliana. I accept that; however, it will soon be time for you to tell her so that she may join with us."

Sorry that it is a little shorter than the last few but hopefully it is just as interesting the next chapter will be finishing off the outer senshi's tests. So we will see what happens

Happy reading
