Endymion sighed as he leaned back against his chair, while rubbing his temple's. He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling before he looked back down at the paperwork in front of him. He picked up his quill pen and continued to sign and stamp the papers with his family crest. Endymion was about half done when a holographic communication window popped up in front of him. Looking up, the prince looked at the green and red blinking lights underneath the caller Id.

"Kunzite, I wonder what he wants now."

The prince muttered as he pressed the green button on the hologram, before a screen appeared. An image of a man with long silver hair with a small smile but serious expression appeared on the screen.

"What news do you have Kunzite?"

Endymion spoke as he continued his work.

"Nice to see you too Endymion, I take it your royal duties are keeping you busy?"

Endymion gave a nod as he organized his papers.

"Yes. So, are we still meeting up later?"

Endymion said as he looked up and placed his quill pen down. Kunzite gave a nod.

"Of course, the guys and I will be at the garden waiting."

"Alright, be there in a bit."

Kunzite smiled and the hologram window disappeared. Endymion cracked his knuckles before he went back to work. He looked over the important trade documents before he signed them and stamped them. Once he finished, Endymion stacked the papers in a small neat pile and snapped his fingers, the papers floated up and disappeared to thin air.
Endymion sighed as he stood up and stretched his arms. He organized his papers before he turned to the door to his study as he heard a small noise.

Beep Beep

"Come in."

The door to the study automatically slides open and a woman in a long navy blue dress walked in. The woman wore a silver crown on her head holding her long black hair up into a bun. Her green emerald eyes sparkled with humor and joy. Endymion smiled at her as the woman approached him.

"Is everything finished Endymion?"

Endymion gave a nod and then sighed as he ran his hand through his hair.

"Yes mother, but do I really have to attend this party?"

His mother, Amelia smiles at him and gave a nod as she helped adjust his collar. Endymion smiled at his mother before she let go of his collar and stepped back.

"Yes, it is your engagement party after all. You must be presented."

Endymion sighed and gave a nod before both exit the room. As both made their way down the hallway, Endymion turned to his mother.

"Mother, you know as well as I do that Beryl isn't fit to be queen of earth. Considering how she treats her own people on the moon."

His mother gave a nod as he responded.

"Of course, but there is nothing that can be done about it. The treaty your father signed with the former queen, instructs that the heir of earth is to wed the heir of the moon. But due to the incident that had occurred eighteen years ago, the current princess is Beryl. She is the princess now so by law, you must marry her."

Endymion sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose as Amelia gently patted his shoulder.

"I hate this, I wish we could have helped the royal family when the terrorist attack had occurred."

"I wish that as well, but unfortunately the attack occurred so sudden and by the time we got word of the attack the royal family had been eliminated."

Endymion looked over at his mother saw small crystal tears rolling down her face. Both paused in the middle of the hallway before Endymion pulled his mother into a hug. He remembered that his mother was friends with the former queen of the moon. Both treated each other like sisters since he could remember.

Endymion gently stroked his mother's hair as she cried into his shoulder. Minutes passed before Amelia pulled away, sniffling. She waved her hand before a handkerchief appeared in her hand and wiped her tears away. Endymion smiled at her a little at Amelia who smiled at him.

"I'm sorry for breaking down like that, I just really miss her."

Endymion shook his head and hugged Amelia again.

"It's alright mother, you have nothing to apologize for missing your friend."

His mother smiled and hugged him before both continued to walk down the hallway to an office. As both walked into the room, they spotted Endymion's father, King Endymion. The king turned to them and smiled at them both.

"Are you ready for tonight son?"

Endymion sighed as he fell back into a couch and rested his hand on his forehead. Shaking his head, he grunted.

"No, can't I just skip it or something? I can't stand being around Beryl for even a second, let alone a whole night."

Amelia let out a small giggle as she saw her son shiver uncomfortable at his own words. King Endymion chuckled as he stood behind his son and patted his back.

"Come on Endymion, it won't be so bad. Who knows, it might be an interesting night."

Endymion glared at his father from the corner of his eye before he looked away and stood up. He exit the room and headed to his room as his parents turned to each other and smiled.

"I really hope everything goes alright."

Amelia said as her husband gave a nod.

Endymion walked into his room and once the door closed, he grunted. Walking over to his bed, Endymion bellyflopped on to the it and buried his face into a pillow.

"Why me?"

Endymion lifted his head from the pillow and sighed before he sat up. He stood up and walked to his closet. Endymion placed his hand on a hand scanner next to the door before the door itself slid up and opened. Endymion walked into the closet and looked around before he picked out an outfit for tonight. The outfit consists of a navy blue long coat with black pants, black knee boots and a gold sash.

Endymion left the outfit out of the closet and exit his room afterword's. He headed to the royal garden and looked around before spotting his friends sword fighting near the garden's gazebo. Smiling, he walked over to them and leaned back against a pillar, watching them. Kunzite and Nephrite fought as Zoicite fought against Jadeite. Endymion smiled as he watched them fighting until the sword fights finished. All four turned to their prince and smiled.

"Hey Endymion, are you ready for tonight?"

Jadeite said which caused Endymion grunted before Jadeite received a back hand blow by Nephrite. Jadeite had a small grin on his face as he rubbed his head.

"Sorry Endymion, forget what I said."

"No it's alright, and yes. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna like it."

Nephrite, Kunzite and Zoicite all smiled as Jadeite patted Endymion's back before they all laughed. Endymion glared at them before he rolled his eyes.

"Shut up."

Endymion muttered as he started walking away annoyed. The guys all smiled and chuckled before they followed him back inside.

Endymion spend the rest of the day avoiding his friends teasing until it was time for the party. He returned to his room and changed into his party clothes. He stood in front of his bedroom full length mirror as he adjusted his collar and neck jabot. Sighing, Endymion grabbed his sword and placed the strap around his hip. Turning to his bedroom door, Endymion took one more look at his reflection in the mirror before he exit the room. He walked down to the hallway and moved out of the way of maids and butlers running around, getting things ready. Endymion stopped to help a maid who had dropped a dozen towels. The maid blushed but smiled as he handed her the towels before she continued to walk down the hallway.

Once he stood in front of the castle, Endymion ran into his parents and his friends/generals Nephrite, Kunzite, Zoicite and Jadeite. His parents smiled at him before they climbed into their carriage. Endymion climbed in with his parents before Nephrite closed the door. He and the others climbed on to their horses before they followed the hover carriage as it pulled away from the castle. Endymion looked out the window thinking of a plan on how to get out of the party. Nephrite and Zoicite rode next to his window as Jadeite and Kunzite rode along side the left side of the carriage. All four looked through the windows, and looked at Endymion before the exchanged glances and chuckled. Endymion noticed them and rolled his eyes, knowing what they were thinking.

'Morons...'

Endymion thought before he looked out the window again, and saw they had reached the aerial space docks. The hover carriage stopped before Zoicite opened the door before Jadeite helped Amelia out before King Endymion and his son climbed out behind her. Endymion looked up at his family's space cruise ship as other guests, cruise guests and other people boarded the ship. Endymion noticed a lot of people around the ship eyeing him and his parents in awe as some took pictures.

"Let's go."

Endymion's father said before he took his wife's arm and both walked to the ship. Endymion followed as his friends stood around them, protecting them. Once they boarded the ship, Endymion and his parents headed to the ship's ballroom. Endymion looked around at the ballroom and saw people already there, enjoying themselves. Jadeite, Kunzite, Zoicite & Nephrite all wondered away but kept an eye on the royal family. Endymion walked away from his parents who walked over to a group of people to greet them. Endymion wondered around the ballroom before he walked over to a refreshment table. He picked up a flute glass filled with wine and he took a small sip.

Endymion turned to the ballroom as more people piled in and started walking around. Endymion leaned back against the wall next to the refreshment table as he watched. He watched as Jadeite and Kunzite were surrounded by single women Zoicite and Nephrite spoke with each other.

He chuckled and shook his head before he took another sip of his wine. He continued to watch before everyone heard the ship starting to dock away from the docks. Endymion stood up and walked over to a window to see the ship beginning to raise up into the air and into the sky.
