“What? We’re getting married today? But you’re not ready yet and what will we tell our parents? Where will we get money? What if...”

“Selenity. Hush. Now listen. We’ll get married today and no one, not even our parents have to know that we’re married. We can even make this place our home.”

“Oh, all right. If you say so.”

“Yes. And this way, we’ll see each other everyday without crossing planets.”

“Well, that is true, and it is nice that we won’t have to cross planets to see each other.”

“So it’s settled? We’re getting married?”

“Yes Endymion. We’re getting married.” He smiled, and kissed her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

They were preparing for their wedding for the rest of the day. Endymion informed the Four Generals that he was getting married.

“Jedite, Nephlite, Zoisite, Malachite. I have good news to tell you.”

“What’s the bad news?” Jedite asked.

“There is no bad news.” Endymion replied.

“Yeah stupid. If there was bad news, he would’ve said ‘Jedite, Nephlite, Zoisite, Malachite. I have bad news to tell you’ first. Duh!” Zoisite told Jedite.

“Okay guys, that’s enough. Now, the good news is I’m getting married! And you guys (and girl) are invited to my wedding.”

“Yeah. I knew this day would come soon.” Malachite said matter-of-factly.

“Oh yeah? Well, the stars predicted that Endymion would get married way earlier than your dumb prediction. AND the stars said that it would happen today! Ha! Beat that Malachite!” Nephlite replied.

“HEY! No one talks to my Malachite like that. He’s a human/general just like the rest of us, and that gives you no right to talk to him like that. Oh yeah. Did I mention that he’s the strongest one out of all of us and he can beat you up in a second FLAT!” Zoisite said defensively.

“Well Zoisite, doesn’t look like your boyfriend is the strongest of us all now, does he?” Jedite answered. “Did I mention that he’s as red as a tomato! HAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!” he continued.

“ *gasp* Oh, Malachite. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to make you embarrassed. I’m so so so so so so so so so so so...”

“Oh SHUDDAP!” Malachite shouted.

“ *GASP* Malachite, I’m really sorry. If anyone is to blame, it’s Nephlite. That stupid, big bushed hair, ‘the stars know everything’ guy started it all.”

“How dare you say that about me!!!!” Nephlite boasted.

“Now look who’s red as a tomato. Neffie! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! That’s so funny!” Jedite bursted. Nephlite turned and looked at Jedite.

“So you think it’s funny, huh, Jedite? I’ll show you funny!” he said, showing his fist.

“Uh, I , uh, uh,uh. I gotta go.”

“Oh no you don’t. You come back here you little blonde hair runt!” Nephlite screamed.

“Malachite, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to get you embarrassed. You know how I am about people saying bad things about you and making you feel like a little weakling that can’t defend their puny little selves.” Zoisite said. Malachite started to get mad at Zoisite.

“Zoisite. Will you please SHUT UP!!!!!” Malachite said furiously.

“Sorry.”

“Stop saying ‘Sorry’.” Malachite answered.

While all this yelling and commotion was taking place, Endymion had already left. Everybody (finally!) calmed down and were ready to talk to Endymion about his wedding, but when they turned to talk to him, they all realized that Endymion left.

“Nephlite. This is your fault, you ‘the stars know everything’ , red wine drinking, stupid in the head, doesn’t deserve to be a general bastard!!”

“I have an idea. You should shut your big mouth, you frizzy hair, hyena laughing, Malachite obsessed fool!!” Nephlite replied.

“How dare you say that about me and Zoisite you big piece of s**t!!” Malachite said.

“Ohhhh, look who’s in trouble now!!” Jedite said.

“You’re gonna be the one in trouble if you don’t shut up and butt out!” Zoisite, Malachite and Nephlite yelled simultaneously.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Endymion was in the secret spot with Selenity while all of this yelling was taking place. (He had no clue this was going on). They were planning their wedding and finally, they had it all set and ready to go. Selenity cast a spell on Endymion and herself so they would have something formal to wear. Selenity had a white wedding dress with a 7 and a half feet long train, and her veil was 11 and a half feet long (which was attached to a flower crown). Endymion had a tuxedo similar to the one his father wore at his wedding (only this one had a cape that is 11ft. long). It was the perfect day for them. After they were married, they went on the honeymoon they had planned, but things didn’t turn out so well for them years after they were married. What happened was, when they got married, they never told their parents, and when they had a child, their marriage was falling apart.

“Endymion. Where are you. Your daughter needs you here.” Selenity called.

“I can’t look after Evelyn right now. I’m studying.” he answered.

“Oh come on. You’re just making that up so you don’t have to watch and take care of her.” she told him furiously. “Look Endymion. If you’re gonna have a child, it means that it’s also your responsibility to take care of the baby too. Also, you’re gonna set a bad example for Eve if you keep up this nonsense.”

“Selenity, just shut up. I don’t want to hear another one of your dumb and boring lectures about what having a baby is about.” he answered.

“Well fine. If you feel that way, we can get a divorce!” she screamed at him. She lay the baby in her crib and went up to the master bedroom, where Endymion was. “You want a divorce. That’s what you want, right?”

“Well maybe it is! And what are you going to do about it? Huh? Tell me.” he said.

“Fine. We’re over.”

After this fight, they didn’t divorce just yet. They went to a marriage counselor and they got help. But soon, it started to fall apart again. Endymion started giving up hope on the marriage and started drinking. Day after day, he drank more and more. After that, they divorced. That was the end of them.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“Selenity, Selenity, Selenity. Honey, wake up.” Queen Serenity quietly called out.

“ *Gasp* What? What happened?”

“Honey, you were tossing and turning like crazy. You looked like a spirit possessed you.”

“I was?”

“Yeah honey. You kept repeating Prince Endymion’s name and you kept saying ‘come back, come back’.”

“I did?” she asked, confused.

“I think a little fresh air will help.” her mother suggested. She opened a window to let the air in the room. “Speaking of air, your cousins are having a tea party and I told them you would come with me.”

“Oh great. Anyway, I have so many cousins. What planet are they from?” Selenity asked in curiosity.

“Oh. They’re from Earth.” Queen Serenity answered.

“What did you say? I mean, I didn’t hear you.” Selenity said in shock.

“I said they’re from Earth.” she repeated.

“And we’re going there for the tea party?”

“Yes we are, and I suggest that you get ready now. We’re leaving in an hour.”

“Yes mother.” Selenity said in a neutral voice. Then she started to wonder if that dream had a meaning to it. Was it telling her that she shouldn’t get married with Endymion, or that Endymion isn’t really her prince charming. She just couldn’t figure it out. Soon, she got dressed for her cousin Anna’s tea party. She was ready to go to Earth. But all of a sudden, she didn’t want to see Endymion. She didn’t want to see him ever again.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“Mother, are we there yet?” Selenity asked, impatient.

“Will you just calm down. We’ll be there soon.” Queen Serenity said. In the meantime, Selenity thought about seeing Endymion when she arrives Earth. She would go to the secret spot and see it for just one more time. She was afraid she would never see it again. She took a little nap on their transportation their.

“Honey, wake up. We’re here.” Queen Serenity called out. She woke up to see her cousins; Anna, Jessica, Muriel, and Belle. They chatted with each other for a while, talked about Selenity’s birthday, and other stuff. When they went to the appetizer table to get some snacks and tea, Selenity just happened to bump into Endymion.

“Oh Selenity, let me introduce you to each other. Selenity, this is Endymion. Endymion, this is Selenity.” Anna introduced them.

“Oh, I already know him. I met him at my birthday party. We shared a dance together and became good friends.”

“So, I introduced you guys to each other for nothing?” Anna asked.

“Oh no, that’s alright. I like being introduced to her again.” Endymion answered.

“That’s good, Endymion. Now please excuse us. We need to finish chatting.” Anna said.

“Oh okay.” He took Selenity’s hand and kissed it, but at the same time, he slipped a note in her hand. “Goodbye princess.” Endymion said. Selenity showed a little smile. She and her cousins started chatting again. Soon, she excused herself.

“Anna. Where’s the ladies’ room? I need to freshen up.” Selenity said, really wanting to read the note Endymion gave her.

“Walk to the back of the palace, walk until you reach a hallway, then make a left.” Anna instructed Selenity.

“Thanks. I’ll be right back.” Selenity said, excusing herself from the table. When she reached the bathroom, she went into one of the stalls. Just to be sure that no one would see her. She started reading the note Endymion gave her. It said:

Dear Selenity,

I knew you’d be coming to this tea party. I want to see you this afternoon after the tea party is over. Meet me in our spot. You know where. If you need an excuse, say that you want to take a walk around for a while or that you want to look around the courtyard and won’t be back for a while. I need to see you. See you there. I love you ( and always will.)

Always,
Endymion

Soon, after she returned, the tea party was almost over. There was one more hour left. It would soon be time for her to go to the secret spot. She was starting to get bored. Suddenly, she heard her cousins bring up the subject of princes of the universe. Selenity cut in.

“Speaking of princes, how did you know Prince Endymion?” she asked Anna.

“Well, when I was younger, I had to go to all of Endymion’s boring tea parties. The only person I talked to there was Endymion. He himself didn’t like his own tea parties. Ever since I was young, I’ve always known him.”

“So you’ve known each other for a while?”

“A while? My whole life is a much better phrase!”

“Sorry! I don’t really think much about people.” Selenity said in a guilty way.

“That’s all right. Anyway, you wanna go inside? The party’s over.”

“No. I wanna take a walk around the courtyard. I be back by 8:00 P.M. Tell my mom that.”

“No problem. See ya! Hopefully before 8:00 P.M.” Anna called out.

“Bye!” Selenity answered.

While Selenity was walking to the secret spot, she was thinking about the dream. She began to be frightened to see him. She wanted to turn back, but she remembered that Endymion was expecting her to be there. She walked and finally, when she reached the entrance, she went through the tunnel that led to the spot as fast as she could. When she got inside, Endymion was there, waiting for her. He got to his feet and walked toward her. He gave her a hug and a long, “soul kiss.” Again, she was afraid of him, but shook the feeling off.

“Hey Selenity. I’m glad you’re here with me again.” Endymion started.

“Me too.” she said in a low voice.

“Selenity? What’s wrong?”

“Endymion, there’s something I have to tell you.” she told him in a weak voice.

“What is it?”

“I’m afraid that we won’t be together forever. I think we’re gonna break up soon.” she answered, breaking down into tears. “Endymion, I think this is the last time we’ll be seeing each other.” she said, tears heavily falling down her cheek.
