Hey guys! I am really sorry that I have not updated in a very, VERY, VERY, VERY long time. School is a drag! I have had one project on top of another. Within the first 9 weeks of school, I think that we have had about 8 projects, and more coming. I AM ONLY IN 8TH GRADE! AHHHHHHHHHHH! The only reason why I can get this chapter posted is because I am sick with a severe case of tonsillitis. Much worse than a strep throat. Along with that, I have a mild migraine all the time, my nose and ears are stuffy, and I have to take a medicine that makes me drowsy and dizzy. So yesterday, I think that I slept for a total of 9- 12 hours maybe. Not including my sleeping at night. Sigh anyways…on a happier note, my birthday was on the 25th of last month! GO ME! I AM 14! I got the Sailor Moon Super S season in japanese. YA! I now have the first 4 seasons, all in Japanese. I think that I am going to get the 5 season on christmas! sorry for having you listen to my pity party. Hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon in any way shape of form…nor do I own How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. That's owned by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. I wish that I could own Mamo-chan though…as well as Numair (you probably don't know who he is though. Not unless you read the Immortals series).

Previously: "We have to keep this a secret then, Selenity. Nobody should know about what is going on between us. There is bound to be trouble if we are found out."

"Well, how are going to deal with the situation of me taking the Silver Crystal?"

"Try to hide the pain as much as possible. When it becomes unbearable to where you can't hide it, then let me know and we will think of something."

"We should start heading back before someone gets suspicious."

On to the Story!

Selenity was out in the garden reading some of her favorite poetry. Last night she couldn't get a wink of sleep, due to the constant thinking of Endymion. Selenity flipped the page.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the end of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

I love the purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints,-I love thee with the breath,

Smile, tears, of all my life!-and if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death

-Elizabeth Barrett Browning

She sighed in content. That was definitely one of her favorites. 'It's so sweet' she thought idly to herself.

"Selenity," it was Amy "Selenity, I need to talk to you privately if you don't mind?"

"Is it important? As you can see, I am quite busy." She answered hotly.

"It's important Selenity. Very important." They soon found a quiet place in the stables. First off, I wanted to say sorry for the event that took place yesterday evening. I, and the others, should have told you. We were just trying to protect you. That s our duty, princess, that we take with pride. The same goes for Lita. Secondly, you need to be careful about what you say in the palace. Only talk to the onews that you trust. Use your instincts. Ray and Mina, as well as others in the palace, have been brainwashed into the Negaverse. Lita and I are only pretending to be servants the "high and mighty" Queen Beryl. If, or when, they figure out who their true ruler is, I shall let you know immediately." There was only silence afterwards.

"How? W-why? Is that even imaginable? When did the Negaverse have time? I can't seem to fathom if. Is this really happening?"

"I'm so sorry princess, but it 'tis true. When you ask? Just last night. Use you instinct to determine who is on your side. Please…"

"Amy!" Mina's chipper voice interrupted the earlier conversation.

"Oh, I have to go! I'll talk to you whenever I can. Please, be careful!" Then she ran out, surly making up an excuse on her way to see Mina. Selenity plopped down on a mound of hay.

"Oh, Goddess, this can't be happening. Our universe is falling apart as I speak. What shall I do?

Selenity walked through a dim hallway light be torches on each wall. Endymion obviously put any guards outside his door, for there were none there. She knocked once, twice, and three times. It was well past midnight, and everyone except for the guards on the night shift and her. Endymion would soon fallow weather he liked the idea or not. The door swung open. Obviously, he wasn't prepared for he was only in his night clothes. They were loose pants with another loose article of clothing, his shirt. The shirt had well been worn out, and, because of that, clung to his well muscled torso. She guessed that he slept with it off, for it looked shabbily put on.

While Endymion was a sight to see, Endymion found himself looking at a sight that he'd rather not see. Selenity's cheeks were stained red, as well as her eyes. Tears of sadness and pain were hanging from her chin. Gently grabbing her wrist, he pulled her into his room. Endymion wouldn't want any of the guards to see Selenity at his chamber door now would he? As soon as he turned around, he felt arms wrap themselves around his waist. He tried to patiently wait and see if Selenity would tell him what the matter was, on her own. It didn't work because soon after, he heard soft sobs coming from her. Compassionately, he pulled her away and wiped the tears away with his thumb. Stroking his fingers through her hair, he awaited her to calm down once again.

"It hurts." That was all that she could manage to say.

"What hurts Selenity?"

"The Silver Crystal. It's finally taking its effect on my body. I…" she grabbed her chest in pain, and sunk to the floor with great strength. Endymion got down onto his knees and hugged her.

"Shhh, it's alright. How badly does it hurt? I know it hurts, believe me I can see, but how does it hurt? Does it in your heart? Does it feel as if your ribs are breaking apart? Describe it too be."

"It hurts incredibly badly. It's both of those combined, the ribs and the heart part, as well as feeling as if my energy is getting sucked away…"

"Energy?"

"Life energy, you baka! I suppose that that's what it's supposed to do. Sorry for snapping at you." She tried putting on a weak smile, but it only made him feel guiltier. He should have stopped her.

"Tell me, what time do your lady-maids awaken you?"

"If breakfast is at 7:00 in the morning, then probably at 5:00.

"Why don't you stay in here tonight? Then when it is about time for your lady-maids to awaken you, you can go back to your bed chamber and feign sleep. This way, you staying in my bed chamber for the night, I can think of a way to handle this, and, in the process, you can get some sleep."

"Thank you. Where shall I sleep?"

"You may sleep in my bed tonight. If I need sleep, I shall sleep on the sofa over there."

"Oh, I couldn't intrude so!" Now Selenity started feeling guilty.

"I insist, and make sure to make yourself at home. Well, this is your home, so I guess that you already have. Don't hesitate, if you need me for anything, to ask.

"Well," she giggled as she plopped down on his bed, "if you insist" She heard him chuckle softly. Selenity cuddled up under the warm sheets and fell asleep soon afterwards.

"Good night, my love." Was the last thing spoken that night.

Eo- Well, the more that I think about it, the more I think that I will have two endings.

Mae-E- I really appreciate your review. The more that I thought about it, the more I thought that you were right about the scout thing. So, maybe the rest of the scouts will turn good too? Who knows.
