Ok here's Chapter 4! I updated just like I promised in my Authors note! I'm back to writing this story! Yay! To tell you the truth I had no intentions of finishing this story because it didn't get very many reviews but then I thought about it a little and decided that's not fair to the people who did review.

Mmkay other people that haven't reviewed and even people who have reviewed, make sure you Review when you finish this chapter! Remember Reviews are an Authors best friend! No joke they really are lol. Well I hope you enjoy this Chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it! I tried to make it a long Chapter as best as I could so don't get mad if it's not that long.
"I think I love you"
Chapter 4
Prince Endymion and Princess Serenity walked through the garden among the flowers and fountains, neither wanting to break the silence. But, Princess Serenity broke it.
"So… what do you propose I call you? I'm sure you don't want to be referred to as Prince Endymion the whole time you're here." Serenity said starting a conversation.
"You," Prince Endymion said, "Can call me, Darien."
"Darien?" Serenity said with a confused look. "If you don't mind me asking Endymion, why would you like to be called Darien?"
Prince Endymion smiled at how confused Serenity looked. "Darien is a nickname my father gave me when I was born. I don't know why he gave me that nickname, but it stuck so my friends and family call me Darien."
"Oh, ok then. I will call you Darien from now on." Serenity said with a smile. 'Darien…' She said to herself, 'I like that name.'
"May I call you Sere?" Darien asked wanting a nickname for her as well.
"Oh yeah, go ahead! Everyone else does." Serenity exclaimed proudly.
"So, how old are you?" Darien asked curious.
"Oh come on, it's not that hard!" Serenity giggled,"I mean I'm four years younger than you."
"Well, just to make sure if you're really four years younger than me, I'm not going to tell you my age. So, when you tell me your age and you say like 12, then you are not four years younger than me." Darien explained, "So, how old are you?"
"Why shall I tell you my age? That doesn't seem fair!" Serenity Protested.
"Well," Darien exclaimed,"Because I said, and because I am a man."
"So because you're a man, I have to tell you my age?" asked Serenity.
"Well yes." Darien said simply.
Serenity stared at him for a second,"Well, I'm not going to tell you my age."
"Aw… come on Sere, please?" Darien asked with puppy dog eyes knowing she couldn't resist.
'Man I love the way he says Sere! Oh my god! Those eyes, those puppy dog eyes!' Serenity thought to herself, 'Wait, what am I thinking? I just met him!'
"Oh okay, I'm 15." Serenity said hating the fact that she caved so easily.
"Yep, you weren't lying, I'm 19." Darien replied.
"You actually believe me and my mother would lie about my age?" Serenity asked bewildered.
"Yes, of course." Darien exclaimed,"About every girl I meet lies about their age, so yes I assumed you would too."
"But sir, I am the Princess of the Moon, and my mother is the Queen." Serenity defended herself.
"So," said Darien, "Because you have royal blood doesn't mean you don't lie."
"But my family has never lied; well me and my mother have never lied." Serenity stated.
"My mother and I," he corrected her, "Anyway, so you're telling me you have never lied once in your life?" Darien asked.
"Yes!" Serenity thought for a minute then replied. "When I was little I lied, but when I turned 13 I didn't lie anymore…"
"Ok whatever Princess." Darien said mockingly.
"Princess?" Serenity repeated, "Don't call me that, call me Bunny, Sere, or Serenity."
"Bunny? Well that's new." Darien chuckled.
"I have no idea where it came from. I think my mother called me it when I was little and some people still call me it." Serenity explained.
"Oh." Darien said.
Serenity and Darien were quiet for a moment as they continued to walk through the garden. Neither of them knew what to say. Then they approached a field of flowers that Serenity was drawn to.
"Oh! Aren't these beautiful? I love Orchids!" Serenity said cheerfully, "They substitute for roses here on the Moon. Roses are my favorite flowers but they can't grow on the moon, there's something about the atmosphere that prevents them from growing. But I absolutely love roses more than any other flower."
"You do huh? Well here, it's for you." Serenity saw Darien pull out a White Rose.
"Aw! Thanks! Oh I love it!" Serenity said as she gave him a quick hug.
"You're Welcome Bunny." Darien said. Serenity looked at him in annoyance then turned her attention back to the rose she had just received.
"Serenity! Serenity where are you!" Mercury yelled.
"Gosh not them again." Serenity said annoyed, "They have to come find me every 20 minutes when I'm having fun…"
"You're having fun with me?" Darien asked.
"Yes…" Serenity said shyly.
"Serenity! If you don't answer us now I will have no choice but to call the guards and your mother!" Mars threatened.
"Better answer." Darien exclaimed.
"Man, ok… OVER HERE!" Serenity yelled.
"Oh there you are Princess!" Jupiter said walking over to Serenity and Darien. "We were worried! Anyways, it's time for your lessons with Luna."
"Jupiter," Serenity began, "You know I hate being called 'Princess' we went over this a hundred times."
"I'm sorry…" said Jupiter.
Serenity sighed. "It's ok Jupiter. Well," Serenity said turning to Darien, "I'll see you later Darien."
"Bye Sere." Darien said walking away.
"Looks like someones in love!" Jupiter teased.
"Huh? Me?" Serenity asked and Jupiter nodded. "No! I only knew him for 20 seconds Jupiter!"
"Well, it looks like it to me Princess Sere!" Jupiter exclaimed. "You don't call him Prince Endymion anymore, and he doesn't call you Princess Serenity anymore…"
"Yeah Bunny, sounds like you're in love!" Mars said joining the conversation.
Serenity sighed. "First off Jupiter, just because I call him Darien and he calls me Sere doesn't mean I like him, and second Mars, I am NOT in love!"
"Whatever Sere." Venus laughed at Serenity's seriousness. "What do you think Mercury?" Venus asked curiously.
"Well," Mercury began, "Oh! Sere who did you get that pretty rose from?" Mercury said pointing to the rose in Serenity's hand.
"Uh, um, no one!" Serenity said blushing.
"Ha! So he gave you that!" Mars exclaimed.
"Aw... Sere! How sweet!" Jupiter teased.
Mercury giggled at Serenity's flushed face.
"Guys it was just a gift, ok!" Serenity said annoyed.
"Aw… our princess has found herself a boy!" Venus teased.
Just then Luna walked up to the giggling girls. "What was that you girls were chatting about?" Luna asked curious.
"Nothing!" Serenity answered quickly.
Luna just stared at Serenity for a moment noticing a blush making its way to her face.
"Well ok. Come on Serenity lets get to your first lesson" Luna said walking away.
"Ok…" Serenity mumbled.
"Bye, Darien lover!" Venus yelled as Serenity began to follow Luna.
When Serenity heard that comment she glared at Venus as she walked with Luna to her lessons. Still glaring at Venus, Serenity almost went straight instead of turning right. When Venus saw this glare she did a cute little wave and laughed.
