Chapter 2 Smiles

'There she is' thought the dark prince Endymion. His queen had sent him out again, to hunt down that sailor moon. It was tedious task. But not the hunting down part, that was simple enough; it was killing her that was the problem. Why, he had no clue. She disassembled easy enough as soon as he appeared in front of her. But she made it very hard to kill, she would call him this name…this "Darien"…. she would cry it out…and something inside him, would answer. And that something, tiny as it was, would hold him back. Aggravated, Endymion would pull back and wait until the other scouts had left and he would follow her. Unfortunately she seemed smarter than she looked. She would transform in public places…making it a headache to track her…. and so follow her in vain he did…. And today was no different….

'There she is'… Endymion slipped off the rooftop on which he'd been standing & came down instead to sit on a tree branch not too far from where a battle was being held.

He would've gone down and fought alongside his queen's ridiculous monster, but it just happened to start raining. No, not raining- pouring. So he lay back against the tree and watched as the scouts used the water to their advantage to confuse the beast and so- the hideous thing was dissipated in minutes. With the enemy destroyed the other scouts went off to their separate ways. Transformed back to her normal self "Sailor Moon" sat down on a bench, quite coincidently underneath the very tree Endymion happened to be seated in! He swiftly jumped down and walked up behind her and was ready to pounce when he realized, she was crying! Drenched, she was completely and utterly drenched. Subconsciously Endymion conjured up an umbrella and held it out above her. Startled, she looked up, and gave the warmest smile he had ever seen in her presence. She smiled, and cried: "Darien!"
