“Selenity, get up. We have to go to another tea party.” said Queen Serenity.

“Whose tea party?” she asked sleepily.

“Prince Endymion’s tea party. His parents arranged it for him.”

“Then I don’t want to go.”

“Why not?”

“I just don’t want to.”

“Well, too bad. You have to go. Now get up, get dressed and let’s go.” she ordered.

Selenity finally got up. She was very reluctant to go to the party, knowing she would see Endymion there. When she reached there, she sat under a big oak tree, sipping her tea. Obviously, Anna was there. She saw how depressed Selenity was. Anna went back to talking with Endymion.

“How are things between you and Selenity?”

“I don’t know. I haven’t seen her yet. I’ve seen her mother, but not Selenity.”

“Well, she must be here somewhere. Either that or she didn’t come.”

“I have to find her and talk to her.”

Anna kept on talking to Endymion, distracting him from Selenity. She kept Endymion from finding out that Selenity was right under the oak tree. Soon it was time to have the appetizers. Everyone gathered the table. Anna saw Selenity coming to the table. She was about to distract Endymion from Selenity, but decided to leave them alone and let them see each other. She realized that if she let them see each other, they would get into a big argument and then they would stay away from each other forever. Selenity was on one side of the table and Endymion was on the opposite side of the table. Selenity was reaching for a butter cookie and so was Endymion. Their hands touched each other. They looked up at each other. Endymion spoke.

“Selenity. There you are. I’ve been looking for you. I just wanted to tell you that...” Selenity left before he could finish what he was saying. He went after her.

“Selenity. Why are you avoiding me? Was it something I said or wrote in the letter? What did I write in the letter to make you so mad at me?”

“Oh yeah. Like you don’t know what you wrote to me?”

“No, I don’t know.”

She opened her mouth in shock and slapped him cold and hard along his cheek.

“Don’t you dare talk to me anymore. I can’t believe you. We’re over. Forever!”

Queen Serenity and Queen Endymion what happened. They rushed over their children. Queen Serenity asked Selenity what just happened.

“Selenity. What just happened?”

“I...I...I slapped him.”

“What did you do that for?”

“He said something that upset me.”

“That’s still no reason for you to slap him across the face.”

“I know. I know. It came from nowhere. It was an impulse or something. I don’t know where it came from. I didn’t mean to. I don’t...”

“Selenity. It’s okay. I’m sure he’ll forgive you. Just take some time off to calm yourself and apologize to him later.”

“Okay.”

“Come. Let’s go into the house. You need to rest.”

“Okay.”

Meanwhile, Endymion’s mother was questioning him.

“What did you do to get her so upset?”

“I just told her something.”

“Well, whatever it was you told her, you got her very upset.”

“I know. I know.”

“You better apologize to her! But for now, rest up. Go to your room and rest. I’ll have the nurse give you something to cool you down.”

“Okay.”

Selenity was taken to a guest bedroom next to Endymion’s room. She lay on the bed, crying into the pillow. She remembered how hard she had slapped him. She was starting to feel guilty. She knew Domino was in the next room. She was afraid to see him again. Then someone knocked on Selenity’s door.

“Who is it?”

“It’s Anna. I want to see how you’re doing.”

“Come in.”

“How are you.”

“Better. Just feeling guilty.”

“Don’t feel guilty. I wasn’t your fault. Anyway, what happened?”

“He acted as if he didn’t write the letter. He said he didn’t know what he wrote on the letter. When he said that, I just got an impulse; to slap him across the face.”

“Oh. I’m so sorry.”

“I am too.”

“Don’t be. It wasn’t your fault.” Anna’s mother called her. She had to go home. “Sorry Selenity. I’d stay, but I have to go.”

“It’s okay. Don’t worry about me.”

“See you later. Get better.”

“I will. Good bye.”

Anna left. Selenity was starting to remember how hard she had slapped him again. She was starting to feel guilty again. Another person knocked on the door.

“Who is it?”

“It’s the nurse.”

“Come in.”

“How are you feeling?”

“Pretty overwhelmed.”

“Okay. Just rest. Here. Put this moisture cloth on your forehead. It will help calm you.”

“Thank you.”

“If you need anything else, just press that button and I’ll come as fast as I can.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

Soon, the nurse arrived in Endymion’s room. She gave him the same cloth, but this time, she didn’t tell him about the bell (He lived in that house and knew how to reach the nurse). Endymion was thinking about why she slapped him. He couldn’t help but wonder why she did that. Selenity was thinking about Endymion. She couldn’t stand it anymore. She had to go see him. She got up out of bed and went to Endymion’s room. Without knocking on his door, she entered the room. Endymion dropped the compartment door that was attached to the dresser. He was scared to death.

“Selenity. What are you doing here?”

“What were you just doing?”

“Nothing.”

“Let me see.” She walked over to the dresser and opened to compartment door. When she opened the top, she saw her pictures, the quotes she said to magazines, the magazine cover. All of this amazed her, but what amazed her the most was the back of the compartment door. It was a picture of Selenity as an angel and on the bottom of the picture, it said “Selenity and Endymion. Together Forever.” When she saw that, she started to cry. Then she spoke to him.

“If you wrote ‘Together Forever’, why did you write in your letter that you wanted to break up with me?”

“I didn’t write that!” he exclaimed.

“Then what did you write?”

“I wrote that I was sorry that you felt we had to break up. I said that I hope you will come to your senses and see that long distance relationships can work!”

“I never wrote that to you in my letter! I wrote that I enjoyed our kiss and I wanted to be with you forever. Then all of a sudden, I get this letter from you saying you want to break up with me!”

“I swear. I never wrote that in my letter! I wanted you to see that we can stay together.”

“Since when did I say that we can’t stay together? I never said that!” she exclaimed, tears flowing heavily down her eyes.

“Yes you did. I have proof.”

“So show me.” she said, calming down.

He went to the dresser where the compartment was and took out the letter which stated that Selenity wanted to break up with him. He showed it to her and she told him that she didn’t write that. Selenity used her magic and summoned the letter to come arrive at earth so Endymion could see it. When he saw it, he said he didn’t write that letter either. They both believed each other and got back together.

“I’m so sorry I slapped you like that. If I had known that it wasn’t you that wrote it, I wouldn’t have done it. I’m so sorry.”

“It’s all right Serene. I’m fine. It’s not your fault.”

“I’m so sorry.” “Selenity. It’s okay. I forgive you. What you saw in that letter is not mine and it’s not true. I love you so much. I would never do anything to keep you away from me. I couldn’t go a day without you! That’s the whole reason I set up this tea party. I knew you would be here and I wanted to ask you about my ‘real’ letter, but I guess it never got to you.”

“I can’t believe I did that to you. I’m so sorry.” Tears started rolling gently down her eyes.

“Selenity. I told you. I forgive you and that I’m fine.” He smiled at her and wiped the tear from her face. “I knew there had to be a reason for doing that. Eventually, I found out why you did that. It was all just a mistake. Now hush.” Selenity started to calm down again. “Come on Selenity. Let’s go out and get some fresh air. What do you think?”

“Okay.” she said, forcing a smile on her face.

“You still can’t forgive yourself for doing what you did to me, can you?”

“No. I can’t.”

“Will this help?” He wrapped his arms around her and gave her soft kiss.

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

It was starting to get dark and it was time for Selenity to leave. They walked around the back garden, holding hands. Selenity still couldn’t get over what happened. She thought that she could never forgive herself. Anna was walking around and saw the two of them together. She was starting to get furious. She kept thinking to herself, How could this have happened? Why did they get back together? They were supposed to stay apart. What upset her the most was when she turned back to see them again, they were kissing each other. She felt as if Selenity had put knife through her heart and she felt as if her head was going to pop off. She couldn’t stand it anymore. She had to separate them forever. She marched over to the kissing couple and shoved Selenity to the ground. She fell with a heavy impact.

“Anna. What the hell did you do that for?” Endymion asked defensively.

“I’m gonna tell you this now and only once. I have loved you from the first time I saw you. Ever since we were little. I still do, but now I see that you have no feelings for me whatsoever. I can’t believed I fooled myself. All those times I thought you were in love with me too, they were all just my imagination. I can’t believe you fell for that weak girl. The princess that thinks she can do whatever she wants.”

“I never think that! I hate being the center of attention!” Selenity exclaimed.

“Oh, sure you don’t. I bet you hate it so much that you wish you were never born!”

“No I don’t!”

“Oh yeah right! Don’t try playing mind games on me!”

“I’m not trying to.” Anna turned back to Endymion.

“And you. I don’t ever want to see you again. Say good bye to Anna, ‘cause she’s gonna kill herself. But before I do, I have to do a few things.” She stared into Endymion’s eyes for a couple of seconds, them kissed him. He tried to escape from her kiss, but he couldn’t. Selenity was crying. She tried to stop her, but she was too weak to do anything. Anna finally released him, and kicked him to the ground. He fell with great impact. He hurt his shoulder badly. Anna turned and faced Selenity.

“Now, the next thing I have to do is kill Selenity.” Anna said with cruelty in her voice.

She kicked Selenity as hard as she could so she would be very weak. Then she took a sword out and stabbed Selenity. A scream was heard, then, dead silence.
