Chapter 3 Happy Birthday!

Prince Endymion and Princess Serenity promised to write each other until their next

meeting. He hoped that he would figure out the strange feelings he had when he was around her.

But alas, law stated that they couldn't be together and so Endymion thought it best to cut her

loose. Serenity was in bliss when she received his letters but eventually the flow slowed down

until she received none at all. She was hurt but being young the pain didn't last long with all of

her guardians cheering her up. The princess wasn't aware of the law.

‘Man, finally I am eighteen! I wonder when the party will be tonight? I've actually

started to like them,' the prince smirked. ‘That is probably because they girls finally pay

attention to me even if it is just for my rank and looks. I wonder if she will be there? No! Don't

even think about her and those strange feelings. Forget her Endy, she's too young and it is

forbidden for us to be together. Besides it's not like I love her or anything.'

"Endymion!" shouted the king. "Yes, father?" he turned around to look at his dad.

"The guest will be arriving shortly. Since we are short handed please greet them and show them

to their rooms. Here is the list," he handed him a long piece of paper. Endymion bowed and

headed for the entrance to the castle.

‘Well I am definitely getting my exercise for the day' he thought after the thirtieth guest

was shown their room. He slowly trudged back to the entrance and wasn't prepared for who

awaited him. His whole body went rigid. Endymion quickly recovered and bowed to the Queen

and Princess of the Moon. The past year had been kind to the scrawny princess. Now thirteen

she was beginning to turn into a woman. Not knowing what else to say, "Let me escort your

highnesses to your rooms." The princess turned her head. She was still a little sad about his

rejection. He sighed, ‘Well isn't this just the best birthday ever...'

The queen raised an eyebrow at the exchange. She knew of the law stating there was to

be no marriages between their two kingdoms, but it didn't say they couldn't be friends. The

letters were innocent enough, why had he stopped writing and hurt her daughter so? "So prince,

how does it feel to be eighteen?" she asked trying to fill the silence. She noticed he finally

smiled. "Draining, hehehe, I've been appointed the task of showing all the guests to their rooms

which happen to be scattered all over the palace. You are the thirty first guest to arrive. There

are about 200 more showing up. I will probably faint from exhaustion before the party starts. Oh

here is your rooms. Maybe I will see you at the party, but for now there are rooms to be filled!"

he bowed again and left them to unpack.

"Mom do you mind if I take a walk?" Serenity asked her mother. "Don't get lost and

make sure you are on time for the party." She quickly made her way to her father's grave and

knelt in front of it. "Father, it is nice to see you again. I hope you are well in heaven. I miss you

and wish you were here to guide me. Why did Endymion stop writing? Is it because I am too

young or not pretty enough? And when did he get so cute!?"

That night a tired but happy prince started the first dance of the party with his mother. A

little later Serenity's mom came up to the prince. "Have you seen Serenity? I told her not to be

late, but I haven't seen her and I can't find her anywhere." "Don't worry, I will look for her."

She wasn't hard to find really. When he found her she was curled up in a little ball asleep

in front of the grave. The sight took his breath away. Her tears were like crystals in her lashes.

She looked like an angel. Something in his heart tightened and emotion flooded him. ‘This

feeling again! Why her?' He snapped out of his thoughts as a cold gust of wind blew leaves past

him. Can't let the angel catch pneumonia. Endymion gently picked her up and carried her to her

room.

He carefully lay her on the bed and pulled the covers up. He paused and studied her face.

‘So beautiful...' Her eyes fluttered open and she gasped in shock at someone being so close.

"Ah, sorry! You were asleep and I thought you should rest. Your mother was worried when you

were late," he jumped back. "No sorry I lost track of time. Is the party over?" "No, it is still

early." "Ok then if you will wait outside while I change we can go back together," she looked

shyly at him. "Alright. I'll wait outside."

Arm in arm they walked back to the party. He bowed, "May I have this dance princess?"

Serenity curtseyed and held out her hand, "Yes." The two embraced and began to dance across

the ballroom floor. ‘Just for tonight, there are no laws keeping us apart, there is no age

difference. It is just the two of us and this feeling that has pulled us together since we first met.

If only for tonight you are mine.' With that he surrendered to the feelings that have plagued him.

Their dance didn't go unnoticed. Beryl looked at the two with boiling jealousy. The

princesses guardians swooned. The royal family of the earth looked at the queen of the moon

with worry. They told their son not to get involved and never to fall in love with the princess of

the moon. But none could deny the intensity of love shining from the couple dancing on the

floor. They only had eyes for each other and noone else existed but them at this moment.

When the dance ended Endymion led Serenity to the balcony. Silently they gazed at the

moon. "What does the earth look like from the moon?" he asked her. "It looks like a beautiful

blue marble with white swirls. Why did you stop writing?" she wanted to know. "It is against

the law for us to be together. I didn't want us to fall in love only to be kept apart. If we stopped

seeing each other maybe we could move on and the pain wouldn't hurt so much. But every time

I see you this feeling gets stronger. It is a little early to tell but I think I am falling in love with

you anyway regardless of the laws." She inhaled sharply at his confession but she could tell he

was telling her the truth. "You know even though I am pretty young, I think I love you too," she

smiled. He slowly leaned down as she stood on her tip toes. The prince kissed her lips and held

her close. ‘Yes this is the best birthday ever!'
