That boy was so familiar, I could've sworn I knew everything about him, he kept staring at me and he was handsome to! I separated the refugees into their travel groups so that they would be ready to go to their assigned safe house when Mrs. Cunningham returned. Now we lounged about the house, the boy; Endymion he called himself brought us some sandwiches for a lite lunch and a bit of champagne to drink. I sat on the sofa with my friends and we talked about how the battle was going on the moon. I didn't really want to talk about it, but it was the only thing we could talk about, the one thing picking at our minds was ~Are our parents ok, are they even alive?~ There would be casualties, there always were in a war, but you could always pray that no one would be hurt. Then there was that boy, overly polite he seemed to know a lot about how to treat guests. He entertained us with some movies and CD's and then he chatted with us about what was going on in town. Three hours passed and then we heard the doorbell ring and Endy ( his nickname) ran to get it. Endy walked back into the room followed by Mrs. Cunningham.
"Good you all are here, I'm sorry I wasn't here to greet you properly but I didn't expect you so soon. Anyway you all know your safe house addresses you may continue and report to them now. Those of you in the Royal Moon group will be staying with me."
The seven groups of twelve spilt up and teleported one by one using power wands given them by my mother Queen Serenity. My, much smaller group of six remained seated. In my group were the assorted princes and princesses that had not been kidnapped by the negaverse; Princess Amy of Mercury, Princess Michelle of Neptune, Princess Hotaru of Saturn, Princess Aurite of Pluto, Prince Greg of Neptune (the only male among us) and me Princess Serenity of the Moon. Mrs. Cunningham waited patiently until the other groups were gone and then had Endy lead us all to our assigned rooms. There was one person too many and so she had Greg set up to stay in Endymion's room while we were here. We put our things in our rooms and got ready for dinner, apparently Endymion knew how to cook and we ended up having lobsters and rice with wine for dinner, it was wonderful. At nine-thirty everyone retired to their rooms for a good nights sleep and Mrs. Cunningham went into her living room to read for a while. The girls all snuck out or their rooms and came to visit me and we stayed and talked about how cute Endy was and basically everything else we could think of. They fell asleep in my room and I had to pick them up and carry each one to her room being as quiet as I possibly could. While I was putting Hotaru to bed I saw a light under Endy's door, I closed Hotaru's door and crept down the hall, I barely cracked the door and peeked inside. Endy sat up at his desk writing something in a small book that must have been a diary, since we were both up I thought maybe I could get a chance to talk to him for a while and find out why I felt this strange connection to him. I pushed open the door and cleared my throat, I must have startled Endy because he was out of the chair in an instant with his hand an inch from my throat. I gasped and stood perfectly still praying he remembered me from earlier this afternoon. He backed off after a few moments and raised an eyebrow at me then asked
"What are you doing in my room at one-thirty in the morning Serena?"
"I-I'm sorry Endy but I couldn't sleep and I saw a light under your door and thought maybe I could come and talk to you."
"oh, well I'm very sorry I scared you, you just surprised me. I guess since I'm not asleep I could spend some time talking to you."
"Endy I feel as though I know you from somewhere."
"That's funny I feel the same way about you, but I can't remember ever having met you."
"You do look somewhat familiar but I can't seem to place you. I saw you staring at me tonight. Was it because you remembered something?"
"No, I just wanted to stare at a beautiful girl."
"Awww, I'm not beautiful, but you are a shameless flatterer."
"Well It's been nice talking to you but I was writing something when you came in and I would like to get back to it before my mom decides to come check on me. I think you'd better go, you look tired and I think you could use some sleep. Goodnight."
"Alright, I guess I'll have plenty of time to get to know you so I can let you get back to your diary. I'll see you in the morning Endy."
It was a terribly short conversation and I still couldn't figure out where I thought I knew him from, but it was nice to talk to someone so polite. It was like being home with my friends to talk to, he seemed to know how to treat royalty which was strange, but comforting.
