Chapter 14: Nothing lasts forever...
Days had passed since the news of the prince's proposal to the princess. Everyone was happy and somewhat relieved for the fact that the relationship of the Moon and the Earth was a joyous one.
"Don't hurt her again or else." Seiya said, half jokingly.
"I won't" Endymion promised.
Every one in the Kingdom was very busy preparing for the coming wedding from the royal family to the lowest peasant. The anticipated union of the couple was very well known. The news and invitations were given acrossed the silver alliance and its neighboring system. The other neighboring planet couldn't believe for the fact that the most powerful Kingdom in the system was having a permanent alliance on the only planet that did not belong in the silver millennium, the planet Earth. Some people were aghast, surprised, and even impressed that the Queen agreed on marrying her only heir to a Terran.
"Mina! What do you think?" Serenity asked as she twirled around.
"Oh sere, your dress is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. You look gorgeous!" Minako said, admiring the fine materials of the dress. Serenity's wedding dress was satiny white. She requested that her dress should be the traditional wedding dress of the Moon, but with a little touch of modern fashion. The dress was Couture made. Its top was a corset sewed attached to a long silk skirt with a fifteen feet train. The materials for the dress were made out of finest silk and real crystal beads and jewelries were stitched like flowers on the dress and train. Her veil was also long, at least twenty feet in length. Even though it was longer than the train the material was very light to carry.
"You think? I don't look fat or anything? I mean, if I am I could lose a pound or two." Serenity asked as she studied her self in the mirror.
"Sere, you look fine. In fact, you haven't gained any pounds at all since we got back here."
"But I want to look good, especially for Endymion. What if he doesn't like my dress? Should I show my dress to him? What if he doesn't really approve of the traditional wedding of the Moon? What if I'm not ready for this? What if this is all a mistake? Oh, Selene! Oh, Selene! Oh, Selene!"
"Calm down and stop saying those damnable 'what ifs'. You are just having wedding jitters. All brides go through of what you're feeling right now."
"Are you sure? But what I-?"
"Yes, I am sure." Minako said exasperatedly. "Now stop being pessimistic and instead, concentrate on your wedding. Be happy that you re finally going to marry the man you love."
"You're right." Serenity sighed. "I can't wait. Two more weeks and I'll be the future Queen of the two most powerful planet and most of all, I'm going to be the new Mrs. Endymion Shields."
"I am so happy for you, Sere. I wish I could find a man who could love me as much as your fiancée loves you." Minako sighed in envy.
"You will and what about the general?" Serenity asked as she proceeded to rang for her maid, Molirue.
"You mean Kunzite? Well, I don't know. He seems attracted to me."
"He 'is' attracted to you. The man can't get his hands off of you." Serenity grinned.
"He-he is just being a gentleman." Minako blushed.
"Yeah right." Serenity laughed as she carefully undresses her self with the help of her maid.
"Psst." Endymion looked around to see where the voice was coming from. He was walking from the guest hall to look for his fiancée when he heard someone or something was making a sound, a sound like someone was calling his attention.
"Psst." Endymion was sure that the small hissing sound was coming from a woman.
"Psst." He smiled when he heard the very sweet familiar giggle.
'I guess I found her.' He thought. Endymion closed his eyes and waited for her again.
"Pss-(Giggle)." He concentrated on her voice and smiled when he felt her aura.
"I wonder where the voice is?" He said, loud enough for a certain giggling young woman to hear. Endymion feigningly looked around. Serenity put her hands on her mouth to keep herself from giggling, even though it was useless. She heard that Endymion was looking for her, so she decided to look for him also. When she saw him walking just across the hall from hers, her eyes gleamed merrily and giggled as a mischievous thought came to her mind. She looked for a place to hide for her plan to work. Serenity hid herself behind a fifty-yard curtain and readied herself.
"Oh I give up. Maybe it was a ghost. I'm scared." Endymion said while Serenity stifles another giggle that threatened to bursts into laughter, albeit before she could celebrate her 'triumph' a pair of strong hands grabbed her from behind. Serenity squealed in surprise and found her self immobile; because of the warm steel like form that was holding her.
"I got you my little naughty rabbit." He murmured against her ear. Serenity blushed and giggled.
"H-how did you find me?" She asked as she gazed up to his humor filled sapphire eyes.
"I found you, because of your aura." He answered, breathing on her intoxicating scent.
'God, she smells like vanilla and flowers. Heavenly.' He finished.
"My aura?"
"Yes." He whispered.
"How did you do that?"
"We have a special bond. This bond was created by our love for each other. The more we love and care for each other, the stronger the bond we have."
"Oh."
"God, you're good enough to eat." He growled as he nipped at her nape and the side of her neck. Serenity blushed furiously. She closed her eyes and leaned her self comfortably against Endymion's warm hard chest. For a very long moment, they just stood behind the curtain -hidden from the world-, content and happy in holding each other.
"Come." Endymion said, as he was the one to break off the silence. He reluctantly peeled himself from her soft warm body and held her hand to his with their fingers entwined.
"Where are we going?" She asked curiously.
"Someplace nice and private. I want to have some alone time with you. I started to hate this wedding of ours, because it took you away from me most of the time."
"Are you saying you're jealous?" Serenity lifted one delicate eyebrow and grinned.
"Damn right. I realized that I couldn't stay away from you for so long. I need you like I need water to drink and air to breathe." Serenity blushed once again; she felt that being in love with Endymion wouldn't let her self get a break from blushing furiously. Serenity let herself to be led to where Endymion wanted them to be. She was in deep thought; thinking about the future with him, so she didn't realized that they had stopped. She was shook out of her reverie when Endymion spoke to her.
"Here we are." He said as he pulled her near to the water's edge.
"I remember this place." She said mostly to herself. "I used to play here when no one wanted to play with me." Serenity looked lovingly at the lake, remembering the old times when she was just a small child.
"Thank you, Endymion. I almost forgot this special place." She smiled at him.
"I will do everything for you." Endymion said solemnly.
"I know." Serenity untangled their entwined fingers and took her sandals off. When she completed the tasked, she went to the shallow part of the water, wetting her to her ankles.
"Come and have a paddle, En-chan." Endymion smiled and joined her. They had spent most of the day together, laughing, hugging, kissing, and even just talking together. When Serenity's stomach grumbled very loud, Serenity blushed in embarrassment while Endymion laughed and told her that they should probably get back and have a snack. By the time they had settled themselves comfortably with foods settling in their stomachs a knock came from the door and a servant came inside and said, "You have a visitor, your highness."
"For who?" Serenity asked.
"For his grace, your highness." The servant boy answered, half of his body was bowed to them.
"Who is it?" Endymion asked, frowning in curiosity. He didn't know anyone here at the Moon except the royal family, political acquaintances and some servants, so he couldn't possibly have any one to visit him, but who could this person be?
"A woman, your highness." Now Serenity was the one to frown and not by curiosity, but by a little tinge of jealousy. She looked at Endymion and he just shrugged in I-don't-know-who-she-is look.
"Let her in." Serenity said. The servant bowed and left the room.
"Dahling!" A woman squealed as soon as she came inside the room. In mere seconds, she was in Endymion's arms, her hands around his neck. Serenity was too stunned to speak.
'Who is this woman think she is?' She thought angrily.
"Wha-what are you doing here?" Endymion demanded harshly as he tried to pry her arms from his neck.
"Why Endymion, I missed you soo much. I was so lonely in our bed when you're not around." The woman pouted.
"Who are you?" Serenity finally spoke up. The woman with red hair and violet eyes only looked at her up and down with one eyebrow arched up and then turned her attention back to Endymion as if she wasn't there at all.
"Beryl, what are you doing here? I don't think you have business here and how did you get here since only the royal family and a special permission from the King could only possibly let you get here."
"Well, I gave your soldiers a slipped so I could get here and be with you." Beryl said sweetly. In truth, she slept with the guards who were guarding the teleportation room.
"So you're Beryl." Serenity said as she finally remembered who the impertinent woman was.
"That's 'Lady' Beryl to you." Beryl said, head up high.
"And that's 'Princess Serenity' to you." Serenity countered back and smirked when Beryl's eyes widens in surprised then composed her self immediately.
"Oh right, I remember you. You were the UGLY FAT girl from before." Beryl smiled in satisfaction when Serenity cringed. "I guess the Queen's power did you good. At least you look human now."
"Beryl!" Endymion thundered. "I will not let you talk to Serenity like that. I want you to apologize to her. Now." He ordered.
"But, Darling." She whined. "I will not!" She said stubbornly.
"What!?" He asked, pissed.
"I came here to bring you good news and not to fight." She said, brushing a lock of hair that had fallen on her bosom.
"And what could possibly the 'good news' is?" He asked impatiently.
"Dahling, you're going to be a father!" Beryl squealed happily. Endymion's jaw almost hits the ground, and Serenity felt herself dizzy and sat down.
AN: (Gasp!) Oh no, Beryl's pregnant. What will happen to our favorite couple? If you want to know, wait for my next chapter. Please review!
