Chapter one:Time Doesn't Fly

Arthur was a normal little boy, he ran about outside played in the garden and had to be locked in the bathroom to take a shower at night. But Arthur's family had a wonderful secret; their garden was home to a species of little people name Minimoys.

Minimoy's were no bigger than a grain of rice, although what they lacked in height they made up for in attitude. The minimoy were a proud people and full of joy, especially now that Arthur the hero had helped Princess….make that Queen Selenia, defeat the evil cursed M.

The seven kingdoms were filled with peace and all the minimoys the M had captured had been reprogrammed and had rejoined their families; but there was still sorrow in the first kingdom. Selenia, who had taken over the throne of the first kingdom when she had turned 1000 moons old, had a sadness that everyone shared with her.

Arthur had been to the land of the Minimoy's, which in reality was under the tree in the garden, but he couldn't stay. Every 12 moons a portal would open to the world of the Mininoy's and would remain open for three days….no more no less. And Arthur was planning on using that portal every 12 moons to see his Queen.

Some how during the journey though the seven kingdoms to defeat M Arthur and Selenia had fallen in love. And even stranger to the poor boy was finding out that the first kiss he and Selenia shared made him her husband. Which was certainly a shock to the ten year old boy, but a pleasant one. But after the three days in her world he had to return to his own, leaving his…..wife all alone in her kingdom.

Which is where our story really begins, 12 moons after our young hero left for his world….

Arthur looked in the mirror one more time, making sure his hair was neatly combed and his shirt was tucked in, not that it really mattered since his magical transport would completely change his appearance anyway.

Tonight was the night! Tonight was the night he would finally get to see Selenia again, he had waited and entire year to see her. It had been hard to convince his parents to let him live with his grandmother and grandfather, but Arthur had been persistent.

Arthur could hear his family talking as they got dinner ready, his mother and father laughing at something his grandmother said. Arthur walked into his room and looked out the window and spotted his grandfather setting up the portal for later that night. Arthur sighed and walked out of his room and down the stairs, careful not to alert his parents to his going outside.

Arthur walked out to the spot where he always met Selenia, it was a special spot he had set up. A magnfing glass that the sun didn't reach with a small deck that Selenia could stand on. She wasn't there, which wasn't a surprise she was more than likely preparing for his arrival tonight. But Arthur had hoped to see her…he missed her horribly.

"Arthur m'boy are you ready for tonight?" Archibald asked his grandson as he finished setting up the last statute and walked over to him.

Arthur smiled and nodded as he looked off over a hill where the sun was beginning to set. "Yes I'm very ready grandpa. I've waited one whole year to get to go there again." He said smiling

Archibald smiled and patted his grandsons shoulder. "I'm sure it was very difficult for you Arthur, being away from your princess." He said gently.

Arthur was still a young boy, but in many ways since his time with the Minimoy's he had grown up. Archibald often remarked to his wife that Arthur seemed so much older than his short ten years. Arthur may have only spent three days with the little people, but it effected his entire life.

Arthur smiled at his grandpa and stood for a moment more looking at the spot where his little viewing deck for Selenia was before sighing. "I'm going to go for a walk grandpa, I want to watch the sun from that hill down the drive."

Archibald smiled and nodded as his grandson walked away, letting out a dry chuckle. "Poor boy, doesn't know what to do with himself."

Archibald walked back into the house and was greeted with a commotion. "Arthur's not in his room! Where…" The all stopped as Archibald stepped into the house.

"He's perfectly alright he's just going for a walk. Honestly sometimes you worry too much about the boy. He's almost a man now." He said walking into the kitchen and washing his hands.

"He's only eleven years old! That's nowhere close to being a man." His mother said but sat back down at the table with her husband.

Archibald chuckled as he dried his hands and sat down. He and Arthur had agreed it might not be the best idea to tell anyone about his…..marriage. Arthur was more than happy to keep it to himself and Archibald was happy to avoid the lecture the new was sure to bring him.

Arthur sat on the hill side watching the suns decent. Arthur was like every other little boy, he ran around outside, played in the garden, and had to be locked in the bathroom to get him to take a shower…..but Arthur had a wonderful secret, he was married to the queen of the Minimoy's

Arthur was very still has he watched the sun, far more still than any normal eleven year old boy. Although Arthur was a very normal boy he acted a bit older than his years of life, being a husband did that. He was waiting for the moon to come up so he could go see her.

"12 moons is a very long time." He murmured to himself as he rose and walked back to the house. They ate dinner in a bustle, alla talking about how Arthur was eleven years old now and how he was becoming such a young man. Arthur listened but was quiet and still until Grandpa stood with a smile. "Alright Arthur time to get going. We'll be back in a couple days." Archibald said going out the back door, Arthur running out ahead of him.

"Have a nice time be sure to eat right!" Arthur's mother called as she watched the men troop out into the dark.

Arthur bounced from foot to foot excitedly as his grandfather opened the portal. "Well hello little Beta! Good to see you too, why yes Arthur's here I'll send him down first." Archibald turned to his grandson to tell him to go ahead but Arthur was one step ahead, already half way through getting into the portal. Another few seconds and Arthur was gone down the portal and Archibald was left smiling after his Grandson.

"Well I think he's a little excited." Archibald said pausing to look up into the night sky.
