--Previously
She had a rosy glow on her face, "Scarlet Realm. It's the most romantic place on the Palace grounds, if not the whole
Kingdom. It's where," Her face turned pink. "This is where lovers, young or old, come to profess their love. Also this is
where father proposed to mother." She looked at Endymion and found him looking at her. She turned pinker than her dress.
Endymion just noticed what he was doing and cleared his throat. He thought for a while. He looked at Serenity,
"Princess I..." He was about to say something when he heard the princess's name being called behind him. He looked back.
"Paul!" It was the golden haired man. The princess walked up to him, so did Endymion.
Paul looked at both Serenity and Endymion. "Lunch is served. The other's are awaiting your presence in the dinning hall."
--Present Time
"Where could they be?" Lita was asking Paul. He told her he would go looking for them, and left the room.
"This is a first! Serena's never late for a meal...or any occasion that contains food, like the 6:00 o'clock snack or the-" Raye was nudged by Amy who was sitting to the right of her. Amy whispered. "Raye, not in front of our visitors," she gave them a smile.
It was quiet for a while and finally the princess with the long blond hair asked, "So do you guys think we should start or wait for the princess?" Everyone had something to say about this but finally the general with the silver hair spoke louder, "I think we should wait for the two of them to get back." They were all caught a bit of guard, but understood what he said. "It would be rude y'know. I mean if they found us eating and," The ladies were all looking at him and he grew nervous and began to jumble his words, "you know, they weren't-- aren't, it would be just rude and they would feel really-" He was cut off by a sharp jab on his big toe. He looked at Nephlite, and whispered "thanks, but do that again and you're mine."
Everyone broke out into their own conversations, then the door burst open. The Princess and Prince were out of breath. Each panting for breath, they tried to make an apology come out of their mouths but all that came out where muffled half words. Almost all at once the other princess's went to Serenity's aid, and Endymion was pushed to the side.
"Serena where were you guys?" Said Amy, who was fanning the wheezing princess.
"Serena you know you should plan your time accordingly, geez. Now everyone had to wait for you to get here so we could eat...and we have guests! Your mother wouldn't be too happy right now."
Serena regaining her breath glared at Raye, "And how would she find out Raye?"
With a sweat drop forming just above Raye's head, she answered, "Well...y'know..." Luckily Raye was interrupted by Mina's cries. "Come on you guys, Serena's here now! We can eat! So let's go!" She was walking away when Raye grabbed her collar.
"No way, look at Serena." They did. "She's a mess, her dress is dirty and ruffled up. It's got wrinkles everywhere!"
"Well, it's not that bad." Lita added. "All she needs to do is change clothes. Once she's done we'll come back and eat." Both Serena and Mina did not like this decision and didn't leave the Hall without a fight...all the while forgetting that the Generals and the Prince where watching. So the ladies left with Raye pulling Serena and Lita pulling away a fierce Mina.
Amy stood, watching as her friends left the room. She turned around and saw the generals and prince doing the same, except they were wearing confused looks. She explained, then apologized. "I'm deeply sorry for that. The princess's can be a bit difficult at times...uhh, but the rest of the times they really are not." She blushed, "I am deeply sorry for leaving you all like this. So, please, if it suits you go ahead and begin eating."
Zoycite, jumped out at the food as soon as Amy had given them the go ahead. "Alright! Mmm, smells good. I am so-" Endymion grabbed his hand.
"No thanks, I think we'll wait."
"Are you positive you can wait?" She looked at Zoycite, then his hand, which was slowly turning blue, "We may take a little over, more than a few minutes."
This time Nephlite replied, "Don't worry about it. We'll eat when you do." She looked at the general with the blue hand.
"Yes. I can wait." Said Zoycite resigning.
The girls were entering Serenity's room.
"Serena what in heavens name do you think you were doing? Going out with a display like that...in..in front of our guests! What news do you think they'd take when they get back to their world. 'Yeah those moon people, woo wee, they're a bunch of hooligans, I tell what. Believe or not, their princess leads the pack too!'" Lita turned to Mina. "And you! You should know better! I swear, I do not know who rubs off on who, you BOTH act like ruffians!" Both Serenity's and Mina's heads were hung in shame.
"Hey Lita, settle down." Raye coaxed soothingly, "Don't stress yourself. It's not your fault they act like idiots."
"Raye! Watch it!" Amy had just walked in. "What if one of the castle staff had heard you. That is no way for a princess to talk! Now find something clean for Serenity to wear, and wash your mouth out with soap."
Walking away, red faced to match her outfit, Raye mumbled something under her breath which sounded like, "You're not my mother."
Still peeved Amy inquired. "I'm sorry what did you say?"
"Oh! Um, nothing." Raye scampered off as quickly as possible to Serena's closet." Amy turned her attention to Lita.
"If you are going to call any one a ruffian, keep your voice down." Nobody dared say a word, in case someone would snap. About five seconds when Amy stopped talking, Mina's stomach growled and broke the tension.
--
As soon as the generals where sure Amy was far from ear shot, they all snapped at Zoycite.
"Hey! Stop!...What the- that hurt!...W-who did that!?...Look I was hungry, ok!" After a few more bashes, they stopped. "Anyway," Zoycite was rubbing some of the spots he was hit, "Endymion, what took you guys so long? Ouch that really hurt."
"Well," Endymion said primping himself, and making his voice sound deeper than it really was, "you guys know how women are-" Kunzite interrupted his semi speech, "Yeah. But you don't buddy." Zoycite, Nephlite and Jadeite laughed it up. Endymion's voice returned to normal and he said, "Oh yeah, real mature Kunzite." He glared at the still laughing Jadeite, who was loosing his balance. "It wasn't that funny Jadeite."
Jadeite choked out, "Yes. It was," and continued laughing. Endymion was taking a walk towards Jadeite's location when Nephlite stopped him.
"Come on, just continue."
"But-"
"Ignore him." Nephlite finalized this and Endymion continued, secretly throwing Jadeite murderous looks.
"Well, as I was saying, The princess took me to this one place...I forgot what it was called, but it had a whole lot of trees," he chuckled, "Get it... Lot... trees...l," he laughed at his own poorly constructed pun as he was the only amused, the others were letting out weary chuckles. Apart from this, the room was quiet. Endymion's "joke" had killed Jadeites previous glee.
"You're kidding me? That wasn't funny." Seeing the look on Endymion's face, Jadeite began his laughter again. This time, as though reading Endymion's mind, Zoycite stood up and sat on Jadeite (who fell on the floor the first time he was laughing). "Hey get off me! Come on..." With a smile on his face, Endymion continued.
"So this place right, she said when you die they plant a tree...wait when you're born you plant a tree...wait..." Sharing his confusion, Zoycite asked, "How can you plant a tree when you're born?"
"I'm not sure. I think I asked that, but she got angry or something. I mean, you should've seen this, her face got all pink and she pressed her lips together, then she started walking real fast like. And-"
"You remember all that... but you can't remember what she was talking about? Or-or even the name of the place?" Kunzite had a real sly expression on his face. Nephlite shared this expression and playfully suggested, "Kunzite, maybe our little prince has a liking for the pink faced, pressed lipped princess. No?" Kunzite followed Nephlite's lead and looked at Endymion, "I don't know," he said in a sing song voice and shrugged. He looked at the prince, "You like the moon princess?"
By now the prince's face wasn't it's original color, but closely resembled that of Nephlite's hair. He stammered as he said. "I--I d-don't kn-know w-w-wha-wha-"
"What? Are you gonna cry now Endy? Huhn big boy? You gonna cry, huhn? Huhn?" This was Jadeite. This time Endymion made an incredible lunge towards him, and luckily Zoycite got out of the way in time. Endymion tried to punch Jadeite, but Jadeite held on to his hands, still teasing Endymion.
Zoycite looked at Kunzite. "Aren't you going to stop them?"
The silver haired male yawned and replied, "Why don't you stop them."
Making no move to either, Zoycite stared at the two boys on the ground. All three generals stared, and few times made hand movements which resembled jabs, their hands were in fists. Also if you looked at their lips, they would be mouthing phrases like, "Get 'im...Watch out...he's open...don't let go...bite 'im..." Of course it was unclear who these were directed to, but...it didn't mater. Their eyes were sparkling and had a pinch of blood thurst in them.
There was a groan heard from one of the standing generals. Kunzite picked up a glass of water, stood over the growling boys, sighed, and poured the water on both their faces (good aim).
"What's the big idea!" Endymion had rolled off on top of Jadeite and was wiping the water off his face.
"Ok, fun time's over. The ladies will be here any minute so I suggest you both go tidy up before they find you like this." Nephlite pointed towards a door in a corner, "That should lead you somewhere or another."
"I know where they can go, I'll go with them anyway." Zoycite led Endymion and Jadeite in the direction of the door.
--
"Serena! I think I found something." From the closet emerged a pile of clothes moving towards Serena, who was wearing her undergarments.
"Oh my god! Get away from me, oh my god, oh my god," Serena climbed to the top of her chair, "Oh my god, oh my god!! A-Amy protect me." She jumped off her chair and hid behind Amy grabbing her loose clothing to shield her. "Amy do something, omigad, omigad!!" The pile of clothes stopped moving and grew hands...human hands. A scream was heard from the scared Serena. The pile began to violently shake, the clothing fell off the monster one by one, and finally. Standing on top of cloth monster was a girl with long black hair, which with the sun in the right position had a red streak right on top of herbangs. "Raye!! Holy Cow! Amy! Protect ME!!"
Raye mischievously smiled at Serena and began to walk slow, but steady steps towards her. "Serena," She smiled even broader, "So...Do I...Scare you, Princess Serenity?" Walking back slowly, and taking Amy with, Serena quietly whimpered.
Raye's smile got bigger. "Hahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA...BOO!" Serena shrieked. She pushed Amy towards Raye, "Serenity!!" Amy yelled as she was pushed towards an oncoming Raye. "Ooof!" The Princess jumped on the chair she had previously sat on. She leaped towards the closet and landed on top of it quivering. Raye made a 180 degree turn and began walking to the same pace she was before, strutting her stuff.
"Princess," She said in a mock pleading voice, "won't you please come down from there." Raye's smile grew even bigger. "Come on Serenity I'm harmless. Come on, I'm Princess of Mars, y'know... the fireball. I'm so close to mastering calling fire at my will, but I won't hurt you. Come down from there, if you fall I'll catch you with my freshly filed and pointy nails, and you'll be safe and sound." She was grinning from ear to ear.
"Y-your not normal... your face is... it's stretching beyond belief." Serena looked at the other girls, "Look at her FACE! Her teeth are swallowing up her entire face! ohhhhhhh-" She lost her balance and fell right on top of Raye. "Holy Shit get me the hell away from her." Serena tried to make a dash for it but Raye caught her by her undergarments.
"You guys, can we get back on track here?" Mina was looking at Raye and the previously wild Serena. "We can't keep making our guests wait, plus," she rubbed her stomach, "my tummy can't take anymore of this..." She turned her attention to her stomach, "can you?" Mina's stomach growled yet again. She looked up pleadingly, "See?" Lita looked in disbelief at Mina.
"OK, fine," Raye let Serena go. "Serena... now where was that... oh right here it is. I thought maybe you could wear this yellow thing. Not too flashy not too bland either." She tossed it over to Serena.
"Oh great! Thanks I'm sure the prince'll like this one--oops." Serenity had her hands pressed against her lips. She began to slowly walk towards her bathroom when she was tackled to the ground by Lita.
"Oh no you don't!"
"Really, I swear that's it." Serena was tied to a chair, still in her undergarments, clutching the yellow dress. "I took him to Familiar Grounds, Scarlet Realm, and Sovereignty Woods. He was so rude though. I don't like him, honest."
Still not convinced Mina asked, "Well then why did you say he would like your dress, hmm?" Amy, Raye and Lita all were agreeing with Mina.
"The pink dress, the one Amy picked, he liked it. Haha, you should've heard him. And he kept staring at me, that's rude!" She smiled for about a mini second.
"What was that?" Amy asked this, looking Serena close in the eye.
"What was what?" Serena was staying clear of eye to eye contact with Amy.
Amy looked at her funny, "Nothing, never mind." She stood up. "Alright I think we should untie her."
--
The princess walked in first and addressed the generals, "Sorry we're late." She looked at the others who were getting seated as well, "We got a little... tied up." The ladies giggled, and the generals looked at each other, eyes asking what they were giggling at.
Amy looked around, "Where's um... I'm not sure of his name, I think it was Zogot?" Nephlite laughed, "I think you mean Zoycite. He, the prince and Jadeite went to freshen up. They'll be back soon." Kunzite looked at the all the ladies spending about three seconds on each face.
"I don't think we have been properly introduced, have we?" Everyone muttered 'no's' and 'I don't think so's.' "Well I guess, now isn't the time is it? We could get to know each other better when we're all present." They all agreed and Mina suggested, "Maybe we could all get together sometime? We could meet in the room right next to the green house."
"Well, I'm not sure where that is, maybe you could show it to me later?" Mina smiled in acceptance at Nephlite.
"I don't know why we even followed you Zoy! It was right there! But nooo, we had to--" Jadeite stopped talking and looked at the table. "Oh, you're here." He caught Nephlites gaze and Nephlite threatened him with his eyes. You could almost hear Jadeite gulp.
Once they got closer, Serenity stopped ogling the food and looked at the three... well that was her aim but she stared right into the prince' eyes. She saw his face. "What happened?! You've got scratches on your face!" She looked alarmed.
Endymion was dumbstruck by the princess's outburst, "Oh I... it's nothing."
"I'll get Paul to ask someone to look at it for you. P--!"
"NO, no really, it's fine. We are fine." The princess was a little confused on the 'we' part, then she noticed Jadeite had scratches too. She turned her attention back to Endymion and she found him smiling. She blushed.
"You're right, it's nothing." She looked at him again with uncertainty. He was making fun of her! "I'm sure you can tend to it yourself, can't you? I mean you are a big boy, right? Why even bother Paul." Next thing Serena knew, she had food pushed in front of her face.
"Mmm, Serena try this. It's good." Everyone had already began to eat. She took the food from Mina. Feeling the eyes of the the prince on her, Serenity looked in his direction, but saw him laughing with his comrades. She looked away and pilled her plate with food and socialized.
Prince Endymion looked at the princess. What was going on? He thought, finally, she wasn't moody anymore, then... things changed in a second. He shook his head. 'I probably just imagined her being nice. She's just the same irritable person. But,' he looked at her again, 'she does look good in that dress.'
