A/N- Sorry it has taken me so long to update! End of school, finals, all the stuff is keeping me busy. Well, here it is and I hope you guys like it!

cosmoscrystal96- I loved your stories! Keep writing and I'll be watching for more. This one is longer so don't worry.

Dertupio- Thanks! I have another cliffhanger in this chapter and I hope you like it like the last one. Sorry for the wait.

RuuD BoY- Thanks for being technical. It makes the story and the reviews fun. For your questions, the guys didn't worry about the marriage thing because if they did say something Rei and Mina would probably give them a lecture. Anyways, they figured out the act, they aren't that stupid. There's a lot of treasure so the guys can't worry about a couple of rings. Next chapter will have action and there's yet another cliffy, sorry.

Pkakarhom- Sorry, but the story continues so don't worry!

mysterious advisor- The marriages will be at the end, mainly because Lita and Neph are supposed to be married already. They have an official one though eventually. Don't worry about Darien, he's smart, just like his mom.

Ffgirlmoonie- Sorry about the cliffy. As long as you try and write you're good in someone's eyes. Some people have more fans than others, but it never matters on how many you have because your biggest fan is yourself. I write A LOT of poetry but most of it is private and I'm ok with that because I know it's good. So just try and let the pencil do your talking!

eliza-morgan22- Thank you and here's their reactions! Along with some other people who are thrown into the mix.

serenity of serena- Thanks, sorry I don't know how many chapters left for sure. I think there will be like 2 or 3 more. Maybe a sequel to that eventually, but not sure.

Sailor Saturn2- posting! Sorry about the cliffy, but I had to do it.

Sailorceb- Sorry! But now you know what happens next.

VcChick- Updated, but now they have to convince everyone else…

Moon Titan- Thanks for the review! Darien and his crew can be quite contagious… as we see.

Dorothy- Yes everyone has found out. Thanks for the review.

Alexandria18- And here is the meeting…

Gr33nJ3w3lRain- Yep, the secret's finally out.

ViscountessKiera- It's nice to know the comic parts are funny. Thanks for reading!


"Endymion!"

"Like I was saying, he reminds me of Prince Endymion." Seamus finished. Queen Terra stood in the doorway with Lords Seiya and Yaten behind her.

"Is it you? Have you come back to us?" Queen Terra said as she walked up to Darien and the rest of the group. She hesitantly placed her hands around his face and studied him.

"Your highness, be careful they are tricky and dangerous pirates." Seiya said as he entered the room.

"You do not know who you are talking about! This is Prince Endymion! My son!" Terra snapped at Seiya who stopped where he was before slinking over to where his brothers were standing.

"Terra, calm down." Seamus said. "How do we know it's your son exactly and not just an imposter?"

"Serenity, dear, you promised the day Endymion disappeared, you promised not to love anyone else correct?"

"Yes."

"Do you love this man?" Terra asked.

"Yes." Serenity answered immediately without taking her eyes off of Terra.

"How is that supposed to prove anything?" Seamus asked.

"There are other things!" Serenity yelled over everyone.

"Like what?" Selene asked.

"Darien… errr… Endymion remembered things while we were together. Before I met him he remembered Terra and Damien. He remembered Beryl and Diamond even. That was why he was always going after Diamond. He wanted to know why he remembered him! He remembered his father and the sword that you gave him Daddy!"

"I'm still not sure." Seamus grunted rubbing his hand over his head trying to come to terms with everything.

"Wait, Serenity, Endymion told me about the tattoos." Terra said.

"TATTOOS!" Selene, Seamus, and the newly arrived Damien yelled.

"Our son had a tattoo?" Damien asked.

"Our daughter has one!" Selene gasped.

"O no, here we go." Amy whispered.

"Daddy, now please understand…"

"When did you get it? What is it?" Seamus asked.

"When the gypsies were here a couple years ago, Endy and I went to town. One of the gypsies approaches us and we got circles on our backs. Just to sort of bind us early." Serenity explained. "Mine is on my shoulder, but in an area where a gown would always hide it. Endymion's is on his lower back."

"I can't believe this, my daughter has a tattoo. And Terra, you knew, but didn't say anything?" Selene asked.

"Endymion told me, Serenity did not know that I knew about it." Terra explained. "They were, and still are children and should be expected to do things like this! They didn't want to wait, but how else could they bind themselves without breaking our laws?"

"She has a point." Damien said. He now stood next to his wife and was examining Darien. "If you are Endymion, then you should be able to beat most without any training and without any memory. Now, who is the one who found you?"

"Malachite, sir." Darien responded.

"It is not sir because I believe my wife and Serenity. I know you are my son." Damien said smiling at Darien. "Malachite, please step forward." Malachite did as he was told and stepped in front of the royal families where he bowed.

"You found my son in Triste is that correct?"

"Aye your highness. He was confused and bloodied up pretty well."

"When you took him into you care, how fast did he learn all the techniques for wielding a weapon and fighting?"

"We didn't need to teach him anything sir. He knew everything we could teach and more. That is why he was able to grow through the ranks so quickly." Malachite explained.

"Seamus, Selene, he is my son. I don't know how you would be able to say no after everything you have heard here. Plus your daughter believes in him and you should believe in your daughter." Damien said as though he was making a closing argument.

"Well…" Seamus started.

"We believe you." Selene finished. "It is good to have you home Endymion." Selene walked over to Darien and gave him a hug. "Now, let's get everyone settled, then get some dinner so we can talk on lighter, happier subjects."

Everyone nodded their agreement and started talking to each other in whispers. "Serenity, I'm guessing Endymion will be getting his usual room?" Terra asked.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Serenity answered as she looked up at Endymion. He intertwined their fingers and brought her hand up to his mouth for a feather light kiss before returning his attention to everyone else.

"Molly, please show our guests to their room. They'll be staying in the west wing." Seamus said gesturing to the rest of Serena and Darien's company.

"Of course, six rooms?"

"No, Amy still has her room and those three are married so there is only need for four rooms." Selene said. "Amy I presume your memory still knows where your room is?"

"Of course. May I ask where my father is? You said he'd be here shortly, but he has yet to make an appearance."

"Plans took longer than usual." Alec said walking into the room. "I tried to get out of the meeting as fast as I could, but sometimes it seems as though our generals are incompetent and need extra time for explanations."

"It's alright father, I'm just happy to see you." Amy rushed into her father's arms and gave him a hug. "Father, I want you to meet someone."

"And who would this someone be?"

"Father, this is Zoicite. We met while I was… away." Amy said.

"My lord." Zoicite bowed in front of Amy's father.

"You are a pirate I am guessing."

"Yes my lord."

"Father, he is just as smart as any man we have ever met, probably smarter than most of those. He has books on philosophy and the current mathematics that I have studied while I was with him."

"Sir, if I may. I was educated before I became I pirate. My story is different than the others because I was raised in a first class family and educated. On our way to visit some relatives our ship was attacked by pirates and everyone but me killed. I was left for dead. Malachite and the others found me on a plank floating in the sea and took me in. I had no where else to go so I became a pirate. On our travels I would get books so I could keep my learning up to date and so I could be occupied." Zoicite explained.

"And what does this have to do with anything?" Alec asked.

"Sir, I love you daughter and all though I'm not the one you probably expected to ask you this, but may I court your daughter for a few months before asking you blessing on a marriage?" Alec's eyes had widened and Amy had let out a smell gasp at Zoicite's sudden declaration.

"You certainly are well educated to follow the rules of society this closely." Alec said as he studied the young man in front of me.

"Tell me, who was your father?"

"My father was Mathew McLane." Zoicite answered.

"Then I bless this union because you have had enough time to court. I met your father and mother once, they were very nice people and I have held the up most respect for them. I am sorry to here what happened and so late."

"Thank you my lord." Zoicite smiled and looked at Amy who was beaming.

"Zoicite, if you are to be my son in law, do not call me my lord or sir. It makes me sound old."

"Yes… err… um…"

"Alec, you may call me Alec."

"Thank you Alec." Zoicite said with a smile. Alec watched as his new soon to be son in law grabbed his daughter and enveloped her in a tight hug and swung her around.

"Alec, are we to be expecting two marriages now?" Seamus asked as he put a hand on his friend's shoulder.

"Aye, wait, two?" Alec asked turning around. For the first time since he had entered the room he saw Princess Serenity and the young Pirate Captain together. The pirate had his arm around her waist and was holding her close to his body. When the couple turned around to talk to someone he finally saw the Captain's face. "Endymion…"

"Correct, it took them a while to convince Selene and I, but it is him and the marriage will be reinstated." Seamus said with a large smile.

"Well, congratulations my friend. You finally get those grandchildren you've always wanted." Alec said shaking Seamus's hand.

"Thank you."

A couple Hours Later

"Darien, did you know?" Malachite asked coming up behind Darien in the gardens. Everyone else except Serenity was with him.

"Aye I did, but not for long. Serenity was the one who figured it out. She's been helping me and I can remember certain pieces of my past." Darien said.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Nephrite asked.

"I don't know. I didn't want you to kick me out, or off the ship, or do something else. You guys, the crew, and that ship have been my life for years and I didn't want to lose that."

"So what are you going to do because I don't think Seamus will let Serenity on a pirate ship again and you won't be able to be cooped up in a castle forever." Zoicite said.

"Not to mention Serenity will not want to part with you again." Lita said.

"I know, I just don't know what to do right now." Darien said. "I'm going to go find Serenity so we can walk around before dinner and talk."

"Alright, we'll see you at dinner."

oOoOo

"Serenity!" Someone shouted from behind where Serenity was standing petting Willie's black muzzle. After everyone was in there rooms and settling down Serenity had decided to go out and reacquaint her self with all the animals.

"Andrew! I'm so happy to see you again!" Serenity said. She ran up to the blonde man and jumped into his awaiting arms.

"How are you? They didn't hurt you in any way did they?" Andrew asked.

"No, I'm fine. They treated me, Amy, and Lita with the respect anyone else would have given us." Serenity answered.

"When Seiya got here and said pirates had kidnapped you…"

"Kidnapped?" Serenity exclaimed.

"He said that you were taken away from the safety of his manor by the pirates against your will and they were going to hold you for ransom." Andrew explained. "He gave the descriptions of the pirates who had taken you."

"Andrew, I was never kidnapped, unless you call me being forced to go with Diamond being kidnapped. Darien would never do anything that would hurt me or that I wouldn't want to do."

"Darien?"

"Um, ya the pirate captain. When you see him you're going to be surprised."

"Why?"

"He's Endymion! I didn't realize it for a week or so, but when we talked one night I figured it out and he's started remembering small things when I talk about certain things or tell stories about our pasts."

"Endymion's returned? Really? When will you bring him out?" Andrew asked. Before Endymion had disappeared the he had been best friends with Andrew and they would sometimes spar or ride together.

"Soon, probably tomorrow because we're being dragged to dinner." Serenity said. "How's Rita? Has she had the baby yet?"

"No, but soon though. A month left in the pregnancy probably." Andrew said with a big smile. "She keeps having weird cravings, like chocolate and raisons."

"Really?"

"Ya, but your parents have been there and adopted her in a way. They make sure all her cravings are satisfied and tried moving her into a spare room in the castle so we could be closer at all times, but she wanted the baby born in the house it would grow up in." Andrew smiled and had a small glint in his eye as he talked about his wife.

"That's so great Andrew. I'll come over to visit her soon. I've got to go now. Dinner's soon and I need to get ready."

"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow. Do you want to go for a ride?" Andrew asked.

"Maybe, I'll try though."

"That's good enough for me." Andrew hugged Serenity one last time and placed a light kiss on her cheek.

"Bye Andrew, tell Rita hi for me." Serenity said as she started running out of the stables.

Dinner

"What are we having?" A curious Jadeite asked leaning over towards Serenity.

"Um, good question and I don't know. Whatever was good in the markets probably." Serenity answered with a smile.

"Jed, you can find out when we're served like everyone else." Rei scolded.

"Sorry, it was just a question." The group laughed except Darien who only smiled and Yaten and his brothers. Soon the group was talking once more. Zoicite was still talking to Amy on some new idea as well as talking to her father about his parents and other political things. Soon a dinner of chicken and various vegetables was served to everyone.

"Darien, why are you so quiet?" Serenity asked.

"No reason." Darien answered.

"Endy, I know something is wrong. You've barely eaten and you're playing with your food." Serenity said.

"I saw you today."

"I saw you too. We came in together and were together when we were talking to everyone."

"I mean, I saw you after we were all supposed to be in our rooms. You were in the stables talking to someone."

"I was talking to Andrew. He used to be your best friend whenever you were here. When you left he was the only one who felt remotely the same as me because you two were pretty much brothers."

"But I saw you jump up on him and then hug him and he gave you a kiss."

"Endy, first, Andrew is like a brother to me as well. Second, he has a wife who's pregnant. He couldn't be happier with Rita. Those were just friendlier gestures." Serenity explained putting her hand on Darien's knee.

"Really?"

"Ya, we're visiting them tomorrow and we'll probably go riding with Drew." Serenity explained. "He can't wait to see you again."

"God, I feel like an idiot."

"You aren't, and if I were you I would have thought the same thing." Serenity said. "Just tell me next time you think something is wrong, ok?"

"Alright."

"So, Endymion, Serenity, when do you want your wedding?" Selene asked looking over at the couple who had just finished their personal conversation. The pair nearly spit out whatever food or drink was in their mouth with Serenity's mother being so blunt.

"We aren't that sure mom. We wanted to settle in and just be together for right now." Serenity answered.

"Alright then, Amy when do you want to get married?" Selene turned her attention to Amy and Zoicite who were holding hands under the table.

"We have yet to talk about it." Amy said with a small smile.

"When did you guys get engaged?" Serenity asked.

"This afternoon, when Alec arrived I asked for his blessing and he gave it to me." Zoicite explained.

"Alec, you gave your blessing for a pirate to marry your daughter?" Seamus asked.

"Yes I did, and if you look at it from that perspective so did you."

"Endymion was a prince first, not a pirate."

"Zoicite was supposed to be a merchant not a pirate. His parents were the McLane's, they were very prominent merchants, but were killed by another pirate ship." Alec explained.

"O well then, is anyone else getting married?" Seamus asked sarcastically.

"Sir."

"That was not a question Lord Seiya."

"I know sir, but I was wondering if I could challenge Darien…err… Endymion to a duel for Serenity's hand."
