As always, I love EVERYONE OF YOU! In addition, I do NOT own Sailor Moon!
Silver Millennium
Moon Palace, Servants Quarters
Endymion made his way back to his room with a purpose. Taking long strides, his mind racing a mile a minute. He had royally screwed up. They were in trouble if they did not figure out a way to get out of this fast there was going to be an actual war on the horizon. Opening the door, he saw Neph sitting on his bed, his eyes were closed but a goofy smile adorned his face. He opened his eyes regarding Endymion's presence.
"Hello Endy, have an amazing night? I sure did." Nephrite stated.
"I do not have time for your love life gossip Nephrite. We are screwed. I fucked up. We need to leave back to Earth the first chance we get." Endymion started gathering his clothing and taking things out of his drawer frantically.
"Whoa, whoa, slow down Endymion. Did something happen with the Princess?" Nephrite asked.
"Yes! I mean not exactly. Look, Anne set this whole thing up. The Moon does not want to go to war. The evil bitch set this whole thing up. Serenity is making a proposal in the morning about accepting Earth into the Alliance." Endymion sat on the bed putting his head in his hands.
"Jesus…. How are we going to get ourselves out of this one?" Nephrite ran a finger through his hair. He started pacing back and forth.
"We have to leave. As soon as possible. If we just disappear no one will suspect anything." Endymion reasoned.
"Maybe… but what if this deal goes through with us being a part of the Silver Alliance? You will have to meet with the Princess and the Queen and they will know the truth. They will think we were spying or trying to plot against them." Endymion sighed. He let his emotions get the better of him. He did not think rationally going into this whole thing. His father would have never done something like this. It just goes to show he could never live up to that.
"Let's take this one step at time. When is Serenity making the proposal?"
"Tomorrow morning." Endymion answered
"Maybe the Alliance will vote against it. They have never approved it before. The Princess is new to council and does not know how ruthless they can be. Surely, they will not change their mind so quickly just because the Princess proposes it. Let us wait and see if they approve and then go from there. IF they do not we can leave; make an excuse why we have to return home." Endymion nodded in agreement for the first time he found himself praying for the Alliance to disagree with Earth joining them.
"Good idea. But what if it is approved?" Endymion asked.
"I have not got that far in my thought process yet. For right now let us pray that it is not." Nephrite stated solemnly.
For right now, Endymion had to agree the only thing they could do now is pray and wait.

Location: Moon Palace, Council Room
Serenity paced back and forth in front of the door to the council room. This was her moment. The moment to prove to her mother, her friends, her people, and most of all the Alliance leaders that she was going to be a fitting Queen. Gathering her strength and confidence, she entered the council room. She felt quite small upon entering. Everyone looked at her. Steading her breath, she smiled at everyone.
"Good Morning. Thank you for having me today." She curtsied.
"Good Morning Darling, come join us we were just starting." Serenity nodded to the seat next to her.
"So first on our agenda this morning, we will address any new proposal. Would anyone like to start?" The Queen asked.
"I would like to start Mother." The Princess stated shakily. Her mother raised a slim brow to her daughter.
"Ok, Serenity you may speak to the Council." Serenity stood.
Clearing her throat, she began. "Well, I would like to talk about inducting a new planet into the Alliance."
"Actually darling, that is why we are here today. To discuss Nemesis becoming of the alliance. I see you and Diamond must have done some chatting." She gave her daughter a wink.
"No, I am not talking about Nemesis. I was actually talking about Earth." Silence seemed to spread around the room. She decided to continue. "Well, I have been to the villages, and have heard their opinions. Many still participate the full moon celebration. It has been a part of our culture for years. We have not had conflict with them in decades. They have so much to offer to the trade. Not to mention they could help train our warriors, their war tactics our much more advanced than ours. "Looking at everyone in the room to see their reactions, she felt her stomach begin to drop. Suddenly, she heard Diamond begin to laugh.
"That is the most ridiculous idea I have heard. Seriously, they are barbarians." Serenity was seething.
"I was not aware you were a part of this council… yet anyways." She sneered.
"I do not agree with Diamonds way of putting it but he is right. That is just ridiculous." The Queen of Mars spoke. "Mars is perfectly capable of training the Moon Warriors in the way of war."
"No offense, but when is the last time Mars has actually been at war? The Earth just won the war against Beryl." Serenity defended. The queen remained silent. "Besides what about what our people want? I have spoken to" Serenity was cut off by her mother.
"Darling, you have spoken to villagers. I know our people's voice matters but they do not always know what is best for the state of the Moon." The Queen reasoned.
"Then why have you always made me cater to our people. Be out with our villagers and hear their interest?" Serenity asked not believing her own mother was not backing her.
"Because let's be honest Princess, someone has to be out looking pretty and keeping up appearances while the big boys deal with the real matters. You cannot honestly think your mother thinks you are ready for this council. One of the reason's we are getting married." Diamond stated smugly. Serenity felt like a bucket of ice had been dropped on her head.
Looking sharply at her mother, she felt herself begin to shake. "What is he talking about?" The Queen did not answer.
"Serenity we should talk about this later." She reasoned.
"No! Did you promise me to him? Did you?" Tears began to fall down her cheeks.
The Queen sighed. "Yes, I did. Serenity you are not ready to become Queen… the Moon needs a strong leader."
"I am strong mother! However, you would not ever know that because you are too busy sheltering me and lying to me. So, why let me come into the council meeting! You were just setting me up for failure… How could you?" She whispered.
"Serenity, we will discuss this later. We have papers to sign to induct Nemesis into the Alliance." Serenity stated calmly.
"Fine, Queen Serenity. You do that. Sign your damn papers! I will be off being a bubble headed princess like usual." Serenity stormed out of the room. Silence filled the room.
"Serenity!" The Queen stood there in shock. Serenity had never spoken to her in such a manner.
"She will be fine. She is just being emotional." Diamond dismissed. The Queen said nothing. She sighed. "Maybe I should go check on her."
"I will after the meeting. I will talk some sense into her." Diamond soothed. The queen nodded softly. What had she done…?

Location: Earth, Earth Court Room
"Order!" Judge Winston shouted. "I am only heading this council until the return of our Prince. I am sure you have all heard the dreadful news of the murder of one our own, Lord Wrath. It has been brought to my attention there has been treason committed among us."
Kunzite looked up sharply at the Judge. How did he know? Was he and Zoicite not the only ones to have known of Anne's treachery?
"I am very sadden to announce the treachery of one of our most trusted. This very person allies their self closely to the Prince. They murdered wrath in cold blood to further their own agenda. Guards! Please arrest General Kunzite!"
"WHAT! This is insane! Let go of me! Winston you are a fool! I did not murder WRATH!" He screamed. Pulling himself out of the grip of the guards, he punched one of them in the face.
"Lady Anne has proof. You went to Lord Wraths last night, murdered him in cold blood, and when you returned you were seen with the head Senshi of the Moon." Winston stated harshly. "How do you explain that General?
"You are a fool if you think I did this! Lady Anne has set this whole thing up! She has been filling everyone with lies! She is murdered her own brother!" Winston waved him off. "You don't think it odd he was killed the day her decree was going to be voted upon?"
"Precisely why you needed to get rid of him. He was going to go against your wishes." Lady Anne hissed at him. Kunzite seethed. Before he knew it, he spit in her direction. Rage filled his eyes.
"Fuck you bitch!" He roared.
"Guards take this man away." They began pulling Kunzite out of the room.
"Zoicite! Find the Prince and fast! Do not let them frame you too." Kunzite shouted.
Zoicite turned to Judge Winston. "Your honor! This is a huge mistake! You must listen to me."
"I have all the evidence I need General! Now I would cease upon the matter unless you would like to join your colleague in a cell!" Zoicite hardened his jaw. He had to bring Endymion home…. And fast. He was surely next.

Location: Moon
Serenity ran. Flying past servants, telling her to watch where she was going. Not caring, all she could do was run and she knew exactly whom she was running too. As soon as she saw the stables, she saw him. He was hauling hay to the horses. After watching him lay the hay down, she ran full force into his arms.
"Darien!" Wrapping her arms around him, she looked up at him and kissed him passionately. She put all her emotions into this kiss. Her anger, passion, sadness, and most of all her love into it. She gasped and her mouth opened allowing him to slide his tongue in. She realized she could care less it was broad daylight. He was what she needed more than anything. Breaking off this kiss, he looked into her eyes. Taking the pads of his thumbs, he whipped the tears from hers.
Concern filled his eyes. "Serenity, what is wrong?"
"Come on let's get out of here." She pulled at him.
"Where are we going?" He asked.
"To our spot." She said. Before he could utter a word, she mounted the horse and took off. He sighed he grabbed Midnight ridding after her. He could not let her go in her emotional state alone. Racing after her at high speed, he noticed she was riding at break neck speed.
"Serenity slow down!" Heading his warning, she slowed a little bit. He sighed in relief. They made it to the clearing surprisingly in one piece.
Hoping off his horse Darien made his way to Serenity. "Serenity will you please tell me what is wrong?"
"Everything!" She shouted.
"Everything?" He inquired.
"Yes, my life is fucked up!" Shocked, he was not use to her using such language. HE raised his brows.
"Your life is fucked up?" Trying to make meaning of her outburst.
"Yes what are you a fucking parrot!' She hissed to him.
"Whoa, hold on. I am just trying to make sense of what has you all upset." He placed his finger under her chin bringing her gaze to his. Tears started threatening to spill from her eyes.
"She is making me marry Diamond." She whispered brokenly. "She did not believe in me. She made me a fool in front of the alliance. She did not even try to back my choice by allowing Earth into the Alliance. She is marrying me off to Diamond and let me make a fool of myself in front of everyone."
Endymion felt his blood begin to boil. Her mother was a fool.
"Diamond… he is awful Darien. He had made it more than clear he wants me nothing for nothing more than my title and body. He will break me. HE gets off on belittling others. She is sentencing me to death. How did this happen?" She cried. He took her in his arms and began rubbing her back. Placing soft kisses all upon her cheek, her hair, and her forehead. He loved her.
"Are you sure your mother is going to make you marry him?" He asked.
"Yes! They told me themselves. She doesn't even care." She sobbed.
"I will not allow you to marry him." She whipped a tear from her eyes and looked up at him in confusion.
"How? You cannot do anything. It is out of our hands." She stated.
He simply shook his head. "No, it is never out of your hands. What happen to the girl last night who was going to save the world? Who was going to take the council by storm? You have fire in you Princess. Diamond and your mother be damned. Do not let a setback burn out you fire. You have the potential to be the best Queen the galaxy has ever seen. If your mother can't see that, then perhaps she should take a look at herself."
"Darien… Do you mean that?" She whispered.
"Of course, I love you, Serenity. I have been trying to deny it up until this point but damn it all." He pulled her roughly into a passionate kiss. Serenity at first was too shocked to respond. Soon she found herself responding. Wrapped up in him she could not tell where she ended and he began. They were one soul. She felt Darien's hands sliding down her body. She moaned into his mouth. Groaning in respond, he molded his hand to her breast. Hardening at the feeling of her nipples, he felt is veins turn to fire. She gasped never having felt a way before.
"Darien." She moaned out. She felt her knees giving out. They both lowered to the ground, breaking contact.
"I love you too." She whispered out. He captured her lips again the heat boiling over. Damn his mission, Lady Anne, the council, Diamond, the Queen, and just all of it. The only thing that mattered to Endymion in this moment was Serenity. She slid her small hands underneath his tunic reveling in the feel of his taunt muscles. She tugged at the garment and before she knew it, Darien was tossing it over his head discarding it. She took him in. All tan and roped muscle. Adonis defined. He began kissing her neck, trailing hot opened mouth kisses. Serenity felt as if her heart would explode with all these feelings. She felt moisture build at the apex of her thighs. He began slipping the straps of her shoulder trailing kisses down it. Never had Endymion been enraptured in such beauty. Before she knew it, Serenity was free of her dress leaving her in her small, white, laced panties.
Endymion raked his gaze of her body. His pants were becoming unbearably tight. Serenity was a goddess. Her tiny waist making her already ample breast seem bigger. He looked up to her face, noticing her gaze was lowered to the ground.
"Serenity look at me." He rasped out. Her gaze slid up to meet his. Taking her face with both hands he laid kisses over her face.
"You're perfect." He meant every word. She gave him a shy smile.
"I believe you will need to remove your trousers, sir." She teased.
"Oh really?" He kinked his brow at her.
"Yes, it is only fair." He began to remove his trousers, leaving them both only in their underwear. He wrapped Serenity back into his arms, lowering her to the grass beneath the shaded tree. They locked together in another earth-shattering kiss. Serenity knew she was on the brink of making a terrible mistake but she could not bring herself to care. How could something so right be so wrong?
"Are you sure this is what you want?" He whispered.
She nodded with no fear in her eyes. "Yes, I want you. I want this. I want us."
Sliding her panties to the side, he slipped two fingers inside her wetness. She moaned, eyes widening at the intrusion. He pumped his fingers in and out of her slowly. Stretching her tight, virgin, walls. Preparing her for what was to come. He could not get enough of her sweet mewls of pleasure.
"Darien I- I feel like" She stopped mid-sentence she could not explain the feeling of this nova that was about to erupt in her body. However, he already knew.
"Shh. It is ok. I got you beautiful." He whispered. Before she could respond, Serenity bursted. Her body wracking with her first orgasm. She moaned out his name. In all her life, she never knew of such wonderful sensations. Endymion watched her with eyes full of lust. He never had a woman respond to him with such need. She was all flushed, breathing ragged and he never knew such beauty could exist. From the straining in his underwear, he knew he could not wait any longer. Removing their last garments he hovered herself over Serenity. His member poised at her slick entrance. Rubbing the mammoth tip against her moist opening. They both hissed in pleasure.
He laid a gentle kiss upon her lips. "I am afraid it's going to hurt in the beginning but I promise it will get better."
Nodding in responds, she gave him a gentle smile. Slowly he slipped into her heat. Realizing it was not going to be easier this way, he quickly thrust deeply inside her. She gasped out in pain; tears were falling down her cheeks. He bent down kissing the tears away. He gripped the ground harshly. Trying to urge himself not move until she was ready. The pleasure already coursing hot through his veins. Only when he felt her start to relax did he move. Slowly began thrusting into her virgin body. He groaned not able to contain the lust he felt for the moon goddess beneath him. Soon Serenity began to respond, meeting his thrust with her hips. Never in her life had she felt these sensations. Endymion felt her fingers dragging down his back and he gritted his teeth. He was not sure how much longer he could hold back. However, he was determined to make this good for her.
"Darien, harder!" She gasped out and he picked up the speed. Watching her in amazement as she thrashed back and forth with pleasure. Speeding up his pace, he felt her clench around him. Moaning out his name as her orgasm took over. Soon after, Endymion followed before collapsing over body completely spent. They both laid naked in the soft grass locked in each other's embrace.
"That was wonderful…" She broke the silence.
He smiled down at her laying a kiss to her temple. It was wonderful. Wonderful could not even describe the feeling he was having. She was amazing.
"I have just done the worse thing imaginable and I do not feel horrible at all." She giggled to herself.
He looked at her curiously. "What do you mean?"
"Well it is forbidden for me to sleep with anyone before I am married. It is borderline treason to sleep with a Terran." Endymion felt the full force of what they had done hit him. He stood abruptly and started gathering his clothing.
"What's wrong?" She asked. He shook his head frantically.
"This! This is wrong! We made a mistake." He shouted. She stood up running over to him grabbing him by his arm.
"Don't say that! It was wonderful." She cried.
He sighed. "Serenity, do you realize what we've done? You slept with a man not your husband, you are engaged to prince Diamond, and do you think he will not find out? Did you not think of the consequences you would face?"
"Well you sure weren't asking these questions earlier!" She shouted.
"I was not exactly in my right mind to ask those questions!"
"So I was? We were both taken over by passion!" She shouted back.
"This is wrong Serenity. Get dressed damn it." He hissed.
Tears started cascading down her cheeks. "I do not care! You said we could be together no matter what! You told me to fight! This is me fighting! Why are you pushing me away?"
Taking hold of her shoulders, he looked into her eyes. "I could not bear you being charged with treason. IF something happened to you, it would be my fault. I will not allow that to happen! We can do this. You do not even know me. You do not know the man I was on Earth. I think it is best I leave soon. No matter how much we want this it cannot be."
"Do not say that!" She cried out. "I know you feel this is right. I know you feel the pull between us. We can make this work!"
He knew he was going to have to say something to hurt her. It was the only way to save her.
"We can't make this work! Get that through your thick bubblehead! Your mother was right; you would not be able to rule this kingdom! You are too busy with your head in the clouds! Grow up Serenity!" He felt sick by the look in her eyes. He knew he had done what he set out to accomplish. Her eyes filled with tears.
"You don't mean that" She whispered brokenly.
"I do. You are fool to think otherwise. Now let us get back and just pretend none of this never happened." He sneered.
They rode back to the palace in silence. When they reached the stables Endymion placed both horses back in the stables not even giving Serenity a glance. He could not stand to see the look in her eyes. HE knew it would show her broken heart and would further tearing his apart.
"Darien." Serenity whispered.
Looking up, what he saw broke his heart. She had tears streaming down her porcelain cheeks.
"Do me one last favor?" She asked. He nodded not feeling the courage to speak.
She walked slowly to him. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she tilted her head up. "Kiss me, one last time." Their lips touched and the passion erupted. He could cry at the feeling. It was slow, and agonizingly sweet. Pouring all their love into this final kiss. When it ended, it left them breathless. With that, she ran back into the palace without a glance back. Taking Endymion's heart with her.
Little did both of them know a pair of Gray eyes had been watching them the whole time.
