Minna-san, oh, part 3.........oh....
Wonder what's going to happen now?
Let's find out shall we?

Disclaimer:  *sigh* no, I don't own Sailor Moon, but if I could 
wish...........
he he he, sorry can't tell you what I'm going to wish for, that would 
ruin the wish.
So, yes, Naoko Takeuchi, Kodansha, Toei Animation, Bandai, and a 
chunk of other companies own Sailor Moon......

The days passed into weeks, the weeks into months, until finally 
Serenity had been there for 6 months.  Life was sweet, Serenity 
really felt whole with her husband, although she didn't know his 
name or what he looked like.  They had an understanding.  He told 
her that all would be revealed when the time came.  Serenity still 
wondered when the time would come.  It seemed as if she would  have 
to be there forever.

One day while Serenity and Merc were sitting in the lounge, there 
came a knock at the door.  When they opened the door, there in 
front of them was a young woman around their age looking at 
Serenity intently.  Merc gave a gasp, but quieted down after 
Serenity gave her a curious look.  Merc shook her head to say that
she couldn't say why she had gasped...but Serenity didn't notice.
(duh!)
(that would be funny, considering that Serenity couldn't see Merc)
The young woman was beautiful, she had long black hair, with a tinge 
of red in it, her eyes were violet.  Her attire was all in red, but 
in different tones of course.  Running towards them was another 
woman.

She was yelling something at the first stranger.

"Hey, I told you to wait for me!!  I said that I wanted to see her 
too!"  This woman had reddish brown hair and red eyes.  Her hair 
came about half-way to her hip and was a bit unruly.  When she 
finally joined them at the doorway the first woman introduced 
herself.

"I am called... Mars..... ... ...that's short for Marsha."  Serenity 
knew that this could not have been her real name for she had paused
both times, with the same atmosphere of precaution that Merc seemed 
to have.  And if Serenity had been able to see Merc then, she knew 
that this would have been the same look that would have been given 
her.

"I'm A...Gin...Galax...."  Serenity cursed in her mind, almost....
almost...this one almost slipped and told her her true identity...
They shook hands and Galax shook the hardest, she seemed too 
excited.

Merc and Serenity showed them into the lounge where they had been 
earlier.  Mars and Galax to a seat across from Serenity.  Merc 
excused herself and said that a servant would be back with some 
snacks and tea.

"So, Serenity, you are married to HIM..." Mars said.  Serenity wished 
that someone would tell her who HE was.

"Yes, HIM, how is HE now?" Galax asked, still a bit excited.

"That is correct, I'm married to him, whoever HE maybe.  He seems 
to be very loving and caring.  He comforts me everynight.  But I 
can't help but wonder who HE is and what he may look like."  
Serenity gazed out the window and looked back at her guests.

"You mean you've never seen him, he's never revealed himself to you?!"
 They said at the same time, Endymion, really....he should have told 
her.  Well, that just means that we have a chance with him 
still....both thought at the same time.

"Poor you....if you had known....you wouldn't stay here."  Mars 
told Serenity.  "You don't even know what he looks like.  How do 
you know that he's not a monster?  He could be.  If he hasn't 
told you his name then does he trust you, or rather, how can you 
trust him?"  Very tactful, just like her father.  Trying to play 
along Galax said,

"Yeah...yeah....YEAH!!!!" 
*sweatdrop* 
"He could be a fire breathing 
dragon, or a cyclops, no...he has to have wings...umm....a pegasus, 
wait that's too good, and you'd know if he had hooves, ummmm...."

"GALAX...stop it!!!  You're making Princess Serenity 
nervous...and not because of her husband, it's you, so calm 
down...better yet, why don't we leave.  We've probably upset you 
princess, we should leave.  I'm, we're terribly sorry." Mars and 
Galax left, both smiling.

After they left, Merc came back.  "Oh, I'm so sorry Serenity.  Mars 
is one of my friends, but so are you...I wish that she hadn't done 
that....it's just that....oh nevermind, why don't we have some ice 
water?"  Serenity nodded, her face a bit pale, those two really 
had it out with her.  She didn't know what to do....what if they 
were right?  What was Merc getting at anyway, just what?

&~&~&~&~&~THAT NIGHT&~&~&~&~&~

This time Endymion was late, he had to go to one of those arranged 
marriages and make the two fall in love, unfortunately, the two 
were avoiding each other, which made it very difficult.  It all 
ended when he found them sitting with their backs to each other 
in the garden.  Serenity wasn't in the room when he entered so 
he guessed she must have just gone for a snack or was talking to 
Merc.  He went to sleep soon after he landed in the room.

While he slept, Serenity quietly walked back into the room with her 
candle.  All the questions since the first time she had come were 
surrounding her, added with the curiousity and fear from Galax and 
Mars. She brought the candle closer and closer to her husband's 
sleeping form.  As she was about a foot away from him, he stirred, 
Endymion turned over and his face was shown to Serenity once and 
for all.  She gasped and the wax from the candle dripped from the 
stick and landed on Darien's nose.  

(AN: try to picture that happening to Chibi-Endymion...
aww...don't you think that would be cute?  The wax...awww...)  

He woke up with a start.  Stretching his magnificent wings.

"Sere....Serenity....my love!!!!  What have you done!!!  If only you 
had waited one more day!!!  You would have known it was me.....all
is lost now....I'm sorry my love....now that this has happened I 
must leave.  I can't stay here, you have broken my heart and we may
never see each other again if you can not...."  He flew out of the 
window without finishing his sentence.

Serenity was broken-hearted.  It was all her fault.  If only
she had waited one more day, instead of listening to Galax and Mars.  
She would have known that her husband was Endymion, son of Mina.  Oh, 
fate was cruel.  The one person who hated her most, Mina....Mina's son
he loved his mother's enemy....that must have ben real love in his
eyes....he must have thought that she had betrayed him.

Her first, and only love was gone, and she was sure 
that as he had left, so would the castle and her friend Merc.  All she 
had left to do now was sleep.  She climbed into the cold bed and 
shivered.  It was really lonesome now.  Her feeling of safety and love
was gone, she would never see her beloved again, softly she cried 
herself to sleep and dreamt of times with him, the romance that he 
had showed her, the love that she felt from him and for him...the 
love of her life....Endymion.
