	    	      Serenity and EndymionL:  Silver Love-Part 7

	The day dawned warm and bright, and Usagi was up with the first 
rays.  She sat in the glade, staring into the water.  Her mind was 
troubled.  This morning, she had woken up, and discovered the moon on 
her forehead had reappeared, but this time it didn't go away like 
before.  Staring at her reflection, she noticed it was still there.
	But that was not all, last night her dreams had been filled with 
images and feelings.  Filled with voices she didn't recognize, and 
images of a place unfamiliar to her.  But, she couldn't remember most of 
them now.  Her magic powers were growing stronger, and she had woken up 
to find all objects in the room floating, and her body glowing.  Only 
because of her fear the objects had dropped, and none to gently.  
Needing to get away to think, Usagi had dressed, and headed to the 
glade.  He hair had not been done, and so it hung in a silky silver mass 
about her.
	Usagi felt a presence approaching, and as it got nearer, she 
recognized Endymion.   She didn't turn around, but hunched her shoulders 
tighter, not sure of what to say, and not sure of his response, when he 
saw her.
	"Usagi?"  he asked worriedly.  "What's wrong?"
	Usagi swallowed.  "Wrong?  Why, nothing is really wrong,"  she 
answered forcing her voice light. 
	Endymion growled.  "Come on Usagi, you know better.  We've known 
each other all our lives.  I know when you are struggling."
	Usagi sighed, nodding her head.  "I know,"  she whispered.  "I 
know.....It's just, I don't know what to say."
	Endymion sat down behind her, reaching for a lock of hair, and 
combing it through his fingers.  "Well, tell me through your mind,"  he 
murmured, still combing her hair.
	Usagi closed her eyes at the carress, her body relaxing, and her 
thoughts gathering.  With her mind, she sent to Endymion all that had 
happened that morning, the floating objects, her glowing figure, the 
dreams or what she remembered of the dreams, and finally, though 
relunctantly, the discover of the crescent moon.
	"So, it didn't go away this time huh,"  Endymion commented.  It 
wasn't a question.
	Usagi shook her head, her back still to him.  She stared intently 
at her reflecion.  "How am I going to explain this to everyone?"  she 
asked worriedly.  "What am I going to say?  What will they say?  What-"
	Endymion cut off her questions by leaning forward, and placing a 
small kiss on her jaw, just where the neck and jaw meeet.  The sensation 
stopped Usagi's words, and she shivered at the sensation.
	"Usa,"  Endymion murmured.  "They love you for you.  They will be 
there to help you.  They'll understand your nervousness, and try to 
solve the mystery.  You are family, and family sticks together."  
Endymion wrapped his arm around her from behind, bringing her close to 
him, and kissed the nape of her neck gently and softly.  "Now, let's see 
this crescent moon of yours."
	Usagi slowly turned to face him, his arms still around her.  She 
kept her eyes cast down for a moment, letting him look, then she slowly, 
hesitantly raised her eyes to his.  He was smiling slightly, his eyes 
filled with love.
	"It's nice,"  he said.
	Usagi splutterd.  "NICE!?"  She asked.
	Endymion nodded, chuckling.  "I kind of like it."
	"Are you feeling okay?"  Usagi asked suspiciously.
	"Why do you ask?"  Endymion teased.
	"Because I'm not sure how to take that comment, and I'm not sure 
if you are just being nice or if your sincere."  Usagi guestured to the 
crescent moon.  "Look at it.  I'll be a freak.  The people are going to 
look at me differently."
	Endymion shook his head.  "If they look or treat you in any 
different manner Usa, then they aren't your true friends.  They'll like 
you for who you are, and discount this little abnormity, though I have 
to admit, it suits you somehow."
	Usagi raised a brow.  "How so?"
	"I don't know.  It just seems to fit you, complete you in some 
strange way,"  Endymion shrugged.  "I don't know.  It just fits."
	Usagi giggled, reaching out and tickling his sides where he was 
most ticklish.  "Your too much,"  she murmured.
	Endymion burst out laughing as she continued to tickle him, trying 
to pry her hands away from his sides.  Able to only grab one of her 
hands, Endymion decided to turn the tables.
	"Oh, so you want to play rough huh?"  he teased.  "I'll play 
rough."
	Endymion began to tickle her as well, tickling her sides and ribs, 
until she was gasping for breath, and still he continued.  She fell onto 
her back, still laughing, tears of merrth falling from her eyes.
	"Okay Endy......I give up....YOU WIN!"  She shrieked amind 
laughter.
	Endyion lifted his hands from her sides, and Usagi laughs 
subsided.  She sniffed to clear her eyes and nose from lauging so hard, 
her eyes sparkling.
	"I guess I'll alway's be more ticklish then you,"  she murmured.
	Endymion smiled.  "Well that's one way of cheering you up when you 
are down."  He leaned forward, kissing her crescent moon.  The mood 
suddenly changed, and the air became thick with love, and a hint of 
desire.  Usagi gasped feeling his lips on her forehead where the moon 
was, and turned wide eyes to his.  Endymion smiled, leaning forward to 
kiss her forehead once more, than moving down to kiss her nose.
	"I think I found another way of taking your mind off things,"  he 
whispered, his voice husky and deeper.  Usagi closed her eyes, 
swallowing.  "Hmmmmm,"  she murmured, words leaving her at the sensation 
of his lips on her skin.  "That's nice....I like that."
	"Well, I like kissing your nose too,"  Endymion teased.  Usagi 
wrinkled her brow, but didn't open her eyes.  Unable to resist any more, 
Endymion finally kissed her lips.  He kissed her fully, then backed off.  
He then leaned forward once more, kissed her fully, then backed off 
again.  He did this for a few moments.  Kissing her fully, then backing 
off for a second of two, then kissing her again.  He then proceeded to 
take small nibbling kisses on her lips, then proceeding to kiss one 
corner of her mouth, then the other, then kissing her fully.  He 
proceeded to do this for a few moments until Usagi growled in 
frustration, grabbed his head, and held his lips to hers.
	Usagi decided it was time to give him back what he'd given her, 
and so she grabbed his head, and kissed him fully, and a little 
passionately.  He gave a suprised squack, but didn't pull away.  
Repeating the same thing that he'd done to her, Usagi began to run her 
hands through his hair, loving the soft silky texture.  She then just 
simply wrapped her arms around his neck, and conintued to kiss him.  The 
kisses began to grow a little more passionate, and deeper, and sensing 
where it could go if they kissed more, both backed off.
	They were breathing deeply, their breaths coming in short gasps.  
Their foreheads rested against one another, their eyes closed.
	"Mmmmmm,"  Usagi whispered after a moment of silence.  "I could 
really get used to this."
	Endymion chuckled, leaning back only far enough so he could look 
her in the eye.  "So you like kissing huh?"
	Usagi nodded happily.  "I do.  I like it alot."
	"Well.....So do I," Endymion whispered, his finger tracing her 
lips.  "I love you Usagi.  You know that don't you?"
	Usagi nodded, her eyes misting over.  "I love you too Endy."
	They hugged one another, enjoying the others company and their 
surroundings.  Finally Endymion sat up, taking Usagi with him.  He then 
leaned her back against his chest, and wrapped his arms around from 
behind.  Usagi leaned her head back onto his chest listening to the 
faint sounds of his heart beat.  This was what she loved about him.  He 
enjoyed the simple things in life.  He was there when she needed him, 
and when he needed her she was there.  He was gentle and kind, 
understanding, and one to take things slow.  One who 'smells the roses' 
as it were.  
	When the sun had completely risen, Usagi looked up at Endymion, 
her back still to his chest.  "So, what's on the agenda today?"  she 
asked.
	"Hmmm.....not much.  We're just in charge of showing the kingdom 
to Luna and Artemis.  We're their official tour guides,"  he murmured, a 
faint smile spreading on his lips.
	Usagi sat up, her back rigid in shock.  "WE?  You mean me and you 
are in charge of showing those cats the kingdom?!"
	Endymion nodded.  "Yes, mother and father thought it best for us 
to do it, just because we are the royals and we know about Queen 
Serenity's visit."
	"Which makes sense,"  Usagi said, her eyes thoughtful.  Suddenly 
her eyes became mischievious, a grin spreading on her lips.  "It's going 
to look so silly taking those cats around the village and castle 
explaining things to them.  The people are going to think we've lost our 
minds."
	Endymion chuckled at the idea, but sobered immediately when he 
remembered something he'd been dreading bringing up.  "Well Usa, they 
won't exactly know it's them we're talking too,"  he said nervously.
	Usagi blinked.  "Well ofcourse they won't, they'll just simply 
think we've lost our minds."  She began to laugh, but at Endymion's 
still sober expression, the laughter ceased.  "Uh-Oh......What's the 
matter?"
	Endymion gulped, trying to decide how to bring this up.  
"Well.....there will be somebody with us the whole time.  And that 
person will think that it is them that is getting the tour.  Someone who 
is visiting."
	"But, we have no visitors.  They all left after you came home a 
week ago.  The only one still here......is.......Oh No."  Usagi drifted 
off, her eyes widening in horror when the realization hit her.  "You 
mean Berryl?!"  she cried.
	Endymion nodded, his head lowered.  "My mother thought of it.  She 
suggested we take her on the tour so people will think it's her we're 
telling our kingdom about."
	Usagi groaned, falling back into Endymion, holding her head.  "Oh 
bother.  She is such a pain,"  she groaned.  "All she'll do the whole 
time is give you goo-goo eyes, attached to you like a leech."
	Endymion smiled smugly.  "Jealous Usa?"  he teased.
	Usagi rolled her eyes at Endymion, grumbling.  "No,"  she 
protested.  "It's just that, she just bugs me.  She gives me a funny 
feeling.  There's something dark about her, and it makes me nervous."
	Endymion hugged Usagi tightly, nodding his head, while rubbing his 
cheek against her hair.  "I know what you mean.  She makes me nervous.  
But mother ordered it, and I for one don't wish to disobey her."
	Usagi nodded gravely, and sighed in defeat.  "Then she comes. 
Yeah."  They both laughed at their lack of enthusiasm, then settled back 
to just enjoy the cool morning, and the beautiful scenery around them.  
	After a while of silence, Usagi began to giggle, trying to muffle 
it with her hands.  Unable to contain it any longer, she burst into 
laughter.  Endymion looked down at her in confusion, trying to figure 
out what was funny.  All he could gather from her thoughts was something 
between his mother and Berryl.
	"What's so funny Usa?"  he asked confused.
	Usagi tried to talk, but another fit of giggles hit her, and she 
was unable to explain.  Giving up in trying to talk to him through 
talking, she told him through their link.
	'I was just thinking.....What if your mother is trying to hook you 
and......Berryl up?!'  Usagi laughed even harder, the notion completely 
halarious to her.  Endymion gulped even more at that comment, and Usagi 
caught it instantly.  She sat up in alarm, all humor gone.  "She really 
has?"  she asked.  "She really is trying to hook you two up?"
	Endymion swallowed and nodded.  Usagi's eyes widened, and she 
paled slightly.  "Y-You mean she doesn't know about us and our 
feelings?"  she chocked the words out, her throat suddenly dry.
	Unable to answer, Endymion nodded once more.
	Usagi began to shake her head, her eyes still glazed over in 
shock.  "But....but that's not possible.  I thought she'd know surely.  
She can't hook you up with Berryl....."  Then she asked the question 
plaguing her the most.  "Can she?"
	Endymion swallowed.  "I....I don't know,"  he answered.  "I 
believe she'd let me choose, but I'm not sure."
	"But she can't seperate us!  We're linked soul to soul, mind to 
mind.  We're linked in everyway posssible."  Usagi's shoulders dropped, 
her eyes full of sadness.  "Your my best friend."
	"And your mine.  Do you think I like this?"  He demanded, a little 
frustrated.  "I hate this as much as you do."
	Usagi launched herself into Endymion's arms, her arms tightly 
about his neck.  "We'll find a way out of this.  Maybe if we tell her 
about our feelings she'll let go of this idea about you and Berryl."  
Usagi sat back, her hands cupping either side of his face.  "No matter 
what, we will be together.  We're linked, and no one can seperate that."
	Endymion nodded, and though he was still a bit doubtful, he had to 
believe she was right.  "We'll tell her right away.  Maybe she really 
doesn't know, and when we tell her she'll let go of this idea of hers."
	"You have to believe,"  Usagi whispered, her eyes pleading with 
him.  "If you don't believe, and if we don't stick by one another, we 
won't succeed."
	Endymion grabbed Usagi hugging her tightly to him, his head buried 
in the nape of her neck.  "I love you so much,"  he whispered.  "It 
would be hard to lose you."
	Usagi kissed the top of his head, smiling though he couldn't see.  
"You won't lose me."  He lifted his head looking her deeply in the eyes.  
"I promise,"  she whispered.
	Endymion lunged down, kissing her deeply, passionatley, and almost 
desperately.  Usagi returned the kiss, reassuring and seeking 
reassurance at the same time.  Endymion ran his hands through her hair, 
then settling his hands on her back.  Usagi cupped his face in her hands 
as they kissed, then simply wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing 
their bodies even closer together.  It was a long kiss, full of passion 
and deep love.  When they both finally broke apart, they were once again 
breathing hard.  Endymion hugged her to him once again, his head once 
again on her neck.  His warm breath tickled her skin as he breathed 
deeply from the kiss, and Usagi hugged him tighter.  He needed the 
reassurance, and she was ready to give him that support.  
	When their breathing had subsided, and their pulses had cooled, 
they broke apart, and stood.  They grabbed hands as they walked to their 
mounts, no words spoken between them.  When they reached their horses, 
Endymion helped Usagi mount her horse, then he mounted his.
	Finally Usagi broke the silence.  "So, when do we leave for the 
tour?"  she asked.	
	"As soon as breakfast is finished.  And judging by how much of a 
late sleeper Berryl is, we won't be off until ten, noon the latest."
	Usagi nodded.  "That gives us some time to change and have 
breakfast ourselves."  Smiling michieviously, Usagi kicked her mounts 
sides, and she took of running.  "Race you to the palace,"  she called 
out as she took off.
	'You are such a cheater,'  Endymion yelled through his mind, a 
large grin on his face.  "I'm going to catch you,"  he muttered under 
his breath.  And with that, he took off after Usagi.

	Back at the palace, both Endymion's and Usagi's guards were out 
walking about in the courtyard, when suddenly Usagi's and Endymion's 
horses came pounding in.  The girls gave a shriek of suprise when 
Usagi's horse headed straight for them, and ended up in the arms of 
their crushes.  Minnako just smiled happily at Malachite, Ami blushed as 
well as Zoicite, Makoto gave an embarrassed smile pushing gently away, 
her eyes dreamy, and Rei flushed in embarrassment and anger at Usagi's 
antics.  Usagi reined in her mount, her hair a wild silken mane about 
her, her face flushed, a bright smile on her lips.  She dismounted, and 
ran over to Endymion who was just dismounting.
	"Ha, I beat you,"  she crowed triumphantly.
	"That's only because you got a head start,"  Endymion protested.
	Usagi shook a finger back and forth.  "Uh-Uh.  Only by a few 
seconds.  You still would have lost even if we'd started at the same 
time."
	Endymion grabbed Usagi about the waist dipping her so that her 
head was barely inches from the ground.  Only thing keeping her from the 
ground was his arms about her.  One was about her waist, while the other 
was about her shoulders.  Usagi gave a squeal of suprise, then wrapped 
her arms about Endymion's neck to ensure from falling.
	"Put me down,"  she yelled amide giggles.
	"Not until you admit you cheated,"  Endymion argued, releasing her 
slightly, but then catching her before she hit the ground.  Usagi 
squealed her arms tightening about his neck so that their faces were 
mere inches apart.  "Do you yeild?"  he asked softly for her ears only.
	Usagi giggled.  "Never,"  she whispered back.  "But I will give 
you a second chance to try and beat me tomorrow."
	Endymion growled mockingly, his arms slipping more away from her 
body.  "DON't YOU DROP ME ENDYMION!!"  Usagi shrieked, holding on even 
tighter.
	"Then yeild,"  Endymion commanded.
	Usagi began to laugh uncontrollably.  "NEVER!"  she yelled, still 
laughing.
	"Then accept your punishment,"  Endymion growled out, and made to 
drop her but at the last second caught her, and kissed her fully on the 
lips.  Usagi was only able to give a suprised squack, then just enjoyed 
the kiss.
	Over across the courtyard, the others watched.  Some were shocked, 
others embarrassed, others angry, and some irritated.
	"Look at those two,"  Rei grumbled.  "They could at least show 
their affections some where more private."
	Minnako giggled.  "I think it's cute and romantic,"  she said, her 
eyes all stary and glazed with excitement.  "It's so perfect."
	"Yeah, whatever,"  Rei snorted.  She guestered to them in disgust.  
"They could at least pull apart by now.  Th
