Suspicious Gifts
“Well? What do you think?” Rosé asked Blanche as she turned to look over her shoulder at her friend.
The white Rose Faerie hummed thoughtfully as she studied the glowing liquid that floated in the air in front of her friend. “I don't know... They've resisted all of our efforts so far. Are you sure this will work?”
Rosé drew herself up indignantly. “Of course it will work! I put in cinnamon and vanilla and chili pepper and jasmine and sandalwood and rose and other good aphrodisiacs like that. How could it fail?”
Blanche gave her a doubtful look. “Chili pepper and vanilla? Together?”
“Hey! It works! Tru-u-u-ust me...”
“If you say so,” her unconvinced friend replied. “But then there is the next question: how are you going to get them to drink it?”
The red Rose Faerie blinked. “Ummm...”
“Or is it supposed to be inhaled?”
“No, it has to be digested,” Rosé said as she shook her head. “I'll come up with something.”
“Better hurry,” Blanche said as she looked up at the crescent moon. “She's coming...”
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Princess Serenity sighed as she opened her eyes. It was so nice to get away. She was not sure she could have handled another minute of the boring ball game that the young noblemen had been playing. And the looks that they had been giving her had started to make her feel uncomfortable. Was Sailor Jupiter right? Were they trying to court her?
She smiled as she began to walk across the clearing. 'An example of irony,' she thought to herself in amusement. 'I have to go to a haunted forest on a forbidden planet to find relaxation. I am more comfortable with the monsters in this wood than I am with my own people. Too bad I can't use that on my essay. Luna would love it!' As she slipped into the trees, she wondered if she would see him today.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She found him in their favorite clearing, the one that they had met in almost two months before. She smiled happily as she lifted her skirts and hurried to his side. Hearing the rustle of her skirts and her footfalls in the grass, he turned and smiled at her.
“Prince Endymion,” she said softly as she came to a stop beside him and smiled up at him shyly.
“Princess Serenity,” he replied just as softly. He turned and gestured to the tree stump that he was standing in front of. “Is this yours?”
She looked at the stump curiously. A delicate, lacy napkin had been spread across its rough surface. Sitting on the napkin were two small brown cubes. They looked like pieces of candy to her. Her smile brightened as she looked up at him again. “For me?”
Prince Endymion blinked, and then studied the candy more suspiciously. “You did not leave this here?” he asked again, just to confirm that it had not been a surprise gift from her. When she shook her head, he frowned and grabbed her hand. Looking around warily, he led her out of the clearing.
“Endymion?” she asked in surprise as she allowed him to pull her along. “Is something wrong?”
“It could be a trap,” he replied as he tightened his grip on her hand. “And I don't feel like fighting today.” He smiled at her over his shoulder. “I would rather hear you play.” His smile widened at her pleased look.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
“Oh, aphids,” Rosé pouted as she leaned her chin into her hand.
“Language,” Blanche replied automatically, as she mirrored her friend's pose. They were sitting in the branches of an old oak tree at the edge of the clearing watching their targets walk quickly away.
“Yeah, yeah...” her friend replied with a sigh. “I wonder what went wrong? They should not have been able to resist the glamour.”
“They must be protected,” Blanche said thoughtfully as she began to swing her feet back and forth. “That would be why the love spells and glamours don't work.”
“Then what do I do?” Rosé asked as she turned towards her more intelligent friend.
Blanche did not bother to suggest that they give up. This couple had become a challenge, and she was just as determined as Rosé to win. “We have to get it in their system somehow...” She narrowed her dark pink eyes and continued to swing her feet thoughtfully.
