Chapter 1: The Earth and Moon

Serenity POV

Stepping onto the beautiful green grass, I feel a breeze hit me and see my long hair flow with it, as I look around at my surroundings, I immediately know that I'm not on the moon anymore, the air here seems fresher than the one on the moon, and the colors seem more vibrant as well. I look at the massive tree and notice all it's brown and green colors, as I roam my hands on it I feel how rough it is and how many types of designs are on it, this is my first time seeing a tree, I have only seen so many pictures of them, but now seeing one in person makes me wish I came here sooner. In the distance, I can see a kingdom, and from what I can remember, I believe it to be the Golden Kingdom of earth their king being Kai and their queen being Aki. I met them once when they came to the moon for a ball we were having, the queen seemed nice, but the king looked like he wanted to be somewhere else. As I walk down the hill I feel the sun hit my skin, it feels so warm and lovely, almost like I'm being embraced, I wish that we could have something as pleasant as this on the moon, we don't get sun very often, but from what I heard, the sun is always here, giving it's warmth to the planet. As I make my way to the castle I see a hedge that I believe surrounds a garden, As I get closer I see an archway leading into it and a guard next to it, but as I make my way up to him, he doesn't tense, which is odd.

"Um… Sir?" I wave my hand in front of him to get his attention but then he just lets out a snore, I giggle a little, it's unlike a guard to not be on task, but I decide that I probably shouldn't go in it would be rude of me to trespass where I'm probably not to, but then I hear a voice coming from the garden. The sound is so thick and charming, and I feel so drawn to it, so I enter. As I make my way inside, I can almost see the source of the voice, but as not to be seen I hide behind a hedge, I peer out into what is a small area with a fountain surrounded by red flowers and thorns. I look up and see a woman with a short lavender dress, and red hair, she's blocking my view from the object of my attention. I can slowly start hearing the words more. Clearly, I pin my back to the hedge, and I try not to make a sound.

"I had a lovely time Endymion." So that's his name. "I hope that we can meet again like this." She seems like a lovely person, I hope that one day we will be able to meet.

"We shall see." That voice, it's so deep. "Maybe we can meet again at my family's ball next month." A Ball? Oh, that's right! The Golden Spring Ball of spring, it's to be held here in April, we were invited to come, which is weird since I didn't think the king liked us much.

"Of course!" Her voice is even more cheerful than before. "My family and I will definitely make an appearance."

"It will be an honor to see your family here." That voice makes my stomach hurt. "You know you're always welcome here." Unlike me, There's silence but is then cut off.

"I should probably get going, I have stayed longer than I intended."

"Very well." He seemed a little relieved. "Do you wish me to escort you back."

"No, I'll be fine." I can hear her start to walk away. "Plus I have been here for quite some time now, I know my way around." I hear her walk away, her footsteps slowly start to fade, and I'm left here with Endymion, sort of. I peer around the corner, and I see him staring at the red flowers of which I don't know the name of, he lets out a sigh, and I cower back into my hiding spot making some twigs fall.

"I hate leading her on a false path." False? But she seems so sweet. "How do I end this courtship?" He let out another sigh, I really want to see him, I don't know why but… I find him intriguing, I want to know more.

I step forward without thinking, and I step on a twig, letting out a loud cracking sound, and I cower backward.

"Who's there?" His voice is serious and it makes my stomach hurt a little, I cover my mouth from letting out any sort of gasp or yelp, I don't want him to know that I'm an unwelcome guest. "Show yourself." I wait, I can't reveal myself, if I do I might be given some sort of penalty for trespassing, as time wears on, I finally decided to poke my head around the hedge to see if my mystery man is there. He's not, almost like he forgot the whole thing and walked away, it's then that I decide to leave… but those red flowers, those red flowers draw me back in, I look around for a second to see if anyone is around. I walk up to the flowers and admire their presence, and the heavenly scent they give off.

Endymion POV

I hide behind a hedge and wait, someone is out there, they didn't show when I called their name, so it's not one of my generals or a guard, I don't know who or what they are, but all I know is, is that they want something, and they're out to get it, I won't let them. I hear footsteps, looks like they came out of their shell, I got them cornered, they aren't getting out of this one, I grab the handle of my sword and narrow my eyes and jump out of my hiding spot.

"Stop right there!" As I appear out of my hiding spot, I see the person I've been tracking, to my surprise it's a lady, a beautiful lady. I freeze and take in her presence, her skin is as pale as snow, and her dress is just as white with golden borders at her chest, her hair a golden blonde with two buns on her head with two long flowing strands almost touching the ground. Her eyes, they're a glistening light blue lake that draws one in so deep that it makes you feel like you're drowning, I don't want to look away, but something other than her eyes catch my attention. The crescent mark on her forehead and there isn't a doubt in my mind that she is a Lunarian, no wonder why she looks so unreal. I brush it aside, and look back at her eyes, they look so scared, that's when I look down and see that my hand is still on the handle of my sword, I release it and look back at her, and she try's to run away.

"Wait stop!" I run after her, I refuse to let her get away. "I didn't mean to scare you, please come back." She keeps running, and so do I, and I finally manage to catch up to her and grab her wrist, she jolts back and looks at me fearful again, tears welling in her eyes.

"Please don't hurt me." She looks down, and I can't see her beautiful eyes.

"I'm sorry." She looks up at me surprised, and my heart thumps. "I didn't want to scare you, I thought you were someone else." She looks to her side and puts her hand on mine, and slowly slides my hand off her wrist, which I hardly remember still holding onto.

"I'm the one who should be sorry." Her eyes meet mine for a split second. "I shouldn't be here."

"Is it because you're a Lunarian." Her hand flies up to the mark on her head to cover it, her face slightly turning pink, I chuckle just a little, and she looks up at me surprised. "I don't care what you are." I lightly grab her hands and bring them down to reveal her mark, her hands are so soft and light, I almost forget to let go. "What I care about right now, is your name."

"My name?" I nod, and she steps back a little. "My name is Serenity, daughter of Queen Serenity and princess of the Moon Kingdom." She curtsies and then looks back up at me.

"You're a princess?" She nods and smiles at me, and I smile back. "My name is Endymion, son of King Kai and Queen Aki and prince of the Golden Kingdom." She smiles sweetly at me, and I walk closer to her on impulse.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Endymion." I smile.

"And it's a pleasure to meet you as well Serenity." I gaze at her a little longer, taking in her features and her lovely smile. "Tell me, what brings you here to earth." She looks up to the sky and looks at the moon that's coming into view and the sky changing into an orange sunset, her eyes widen, and she looks at me.

Serenity POV

"I have to go." His eyes widen.

"What?"

"I'm sorry." I start to run up the hill, but his hand reaches mine again stopping me in my tracks. "Please let me go." He doesn't.

"Why." His face is written with worry, but of what. "Why must you go." I look at him sadly, I don't wish to go but I must, my mother is probably worried about me, and Venus must be as well.

"I'm sorry Endymion, but I overstayed my welcome." I pry my hand away from him. "I must go back, I don't know if I can come back after this, but I must go." He stands there a little stunned, and I take the chance to make my way back on the hill right where the oak tree is, I summon the portal and try to walk through it. I'm stopped, and his hand grabs my wrist again, his touch feels so soothing like the first, and it makes it harder for me to leave, I turn my head towards him, and my heart pounds, his face is written with worry and sadness.

"Endymion please-"

"Tell me you'll come back!" My eyes widen.

"Endymion-"

"Please Serenity." His other hand grabs my arm almost pulling me away from the portal. "Tell me you'll come back tomorrow." His arms tighten just a little, he waits for my response, I want to tell him the truth and say no, but…

"Yes." He releases a sigh, and lets go of my arm and smiles up at me, I don't know why I said yes, I should've told him no and have been honest, but I didn't, I said yes, because a part of me wants to see him again as well.

"We'll meet here again same time." I nod at him, and he smiles at me. "Goodbye Serenity." I smile back at him.

"Goodbye Endymion." I walk through the portal, and in a blink of an eye, I'm back on the moon, back in my bedchamber where I first made the portal. I look at my surroundings, and my eyes come into contact with the giant blue crystal ball that resembles Endymion's eyes though they are just a little bit darker. When I now look at earth all I can think about is him, even though we just met, he seems to be clouding my mind, his black hair dark as night, his face strong and muscular, his hands look so tough but are so kind, gentle, and soft. He's so gentlemanly and so sweet to me, I can't wait to see him again.

"Endymion." There's a knock at my door, and I jump. "Come in." My mother walks in, and soon as she see's me, she sighs in relief.

"Oh, thank goodness you're here." I cock my head to the side. "I've been looking everywhere for you." She comes over and hugs me lightly, and over her shoulder I see Venus standing in the doorway a little relieved.

"I've been here the whole time Mama." She smiles, but it soon fades as she brings her hand up to my head.

"Are you okay Serenity."

"Huh?"

"Your face is bright pink." My eyes widen a bit. "I'll have dinner brought up to you, but you should probably lie down for now." I nod without question, as she walks out the door passed Venus, Venus watches as my mom walks down the hall and shuts the door behind her, she then walks up to me.

"Well, how was it?" My mind goes back to earth as I think about my experiences.

"Wonderful, just wonderful." Venus smiles at me. "Do you think you can cover for me again?" Venus's expression changes into a frown.

"Serenity, why do you want to go back." I was about to say something but I stopped as Endymion came to mind, and my heart pounded a little faster. "Serenity?" My face turned pink.

"I met someone on earth." Venus took a step back. "And I promised I'd meet him again tomorrow, please Venus, do this for me, just one more time." Venus looked conflicted, she looked like she was getting mad, but I just kept staring at her with sad pleading eyes, until she finally broke.

"Oh alright!" I smiled and went to hug her.

"Thank you!" Her arms wrap around me, and then she slowly starts to pull away.

"So who is he." I smile at her.

"Endymion."

"Do you remember when we met?"
