The Little Things

If I didn't love him, then I could see us being together.

Neo-Queen Serenity remembered that statement she made over a thousand years ago as she laid in the bed with King Endymion. As destiny would have it, she married him and eventually gave birth to Chibiusa. Endymion was a great husband and she loved him very much, but she wanted more. She wanted Rei. Surprisingly, it was only after Rei's confession that she started to feel something for her. Rei filled the small voids in her life that Mamoru could not fill before she became queen. Where Mamoru was more calm and relaxed, Rei was more feisty and opinionated, which Serenity loved, or rather missed. Nowadays, Rei was just a shell of her former self, guarding the west side of the palace. Serenity knew Rei chose that part to guard because it was the furthest away from her and Endymion. Whenever Serenity did try to make contact with Rei, she noticed that her eyes were empty. Rei had lost her zest for life, and Serenity knew she was to blame. However, the queen also knew that she could revive Rei's zest. There was only one problem…Endymion. She glanced over at him reading the newspaper and wondered how she was going to tell him that she wanted to be with both him and Rei. Serenity was nervous with a fast heartbeat as she tapped him on his shoulder.

"Endymion?"

"Yes, Serenity?"

"I have to tell you something."

Endymion placed the newspaper in his lap and faced his wife. "What is it?"

"Uhh…I uhh…want an open relationship."

Endymion looked a little puzzled while Serenity's own bluntness caught her off guard.

"An open relationship? With who?"

"With Rei."

"Are you…serious?" Endymion asked.

"Yes. I love you, but I love her too."

Serenity studied the blank expression on her husband's face, but she could not process what he may have been thinking. Then, out of nowhere, Endymion began to laugh.

"What's so funny?"

Endymion's laugh became nearly uncontrollable, to the point where his face was turning red. This irked the queen some. She didn't see how such a situation could be taken so lightly. "What is so funny?!"

"Haha! I'm sorry, Serenity, but…haha…I've actually thought about this happening before. You two were so close back then, so I thought it would be a possibility. It doesn't seem that way now though. How does Rei feel about this?"

"She loves me too, but she won't tell me out of fear of destroying our relationship. I want to tell her that I love her as well."

"Will this will make you happy?"

"Yes, Endymion."

"Then I have no problem with it."

Serenity couldn't believe how accepting Endymion was of this. "You're…you're not mad?"

"No, whatever makes you happy, makes me happy." Endymion leaned in closer. "Besides, it's my wife being involved with one of her honored senshi. I'm not going to complain about that," he said with a hint of naughtiness in his voice.

"Perv!" Serenity giggled and elbowed him in the arm.

"In all seriousness, you have saved this world many times. You don't have to answer to me, or anyone else for that matter and if someone doesn't like it, just banish them and be done. Do as you please. This is your world. I'm just riding your coattails."

Serenity giggled again. "Aww stop it, Endymion. You know that's not true."

"It is true, but while you're arguing with me about that, you could be telling Rei how you feel right now. I think you should go find her."

"You're right," Serenity said. She gave her husband a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, Mamo-chan."

"No problem, Usako."

Before Serenity could reach the door, Endymion called out to her. "Hey, I'm thirsty. Could you give me a glass of water on your way back please?"

Serenity smirked at her silly husband and shook her head before proceeding out the door. Endymion went back to reading his paper, with the feeling that his wife thought he was joking.

"I wasn't joking," he said to himself. "I really was thirsty."

Fifteen minutes earlier

Rei did her final sweep around her side of the palace before making her way towards the family room. She plopped on the couch, exhausted from the day. Any rest that she could have gotten was short lived when Minako came in and quietly straddled her hips.

"I think the king and queen have finally gone to bed, and my shift is over," Minako said, pressing her hands into Rei's chest. Ever since Rei confided in Minako that one night, they had been sexually intimate with each other to help ease the pain of lonliness. Usually, Minako was the person that took charge and tonight was no different. She pressed her lips against Rei's and began to undress her. However, something was different with Rei and she gently eased Minako off her after a brief struggle.

"Minako…we can't do this anymore."

Minako became worried. "Why not? Did I do something wrong? Am I not satisfying you enough?"

"No, no! It's not that," Rei assured. "You are a wonderful sexual partner. It's just…it's just on principle."

"Principle? What do you mean?"

"Minako…the last time we were intimate…I called you Serenity. Does that not bother you at all?"

"It's okay…really it is. I don't mind" Minako said compassionately. Minako's response deeply bothered Rei.

"It's not okay, Minako. Where is your pride? You deserve much better than that."

"My pride when down the toilet a long time ago."

Rei didn't know how to respond to that so she just spoke from her heart. "It's hard to explain, but I just feel like I need to be faithful to Serenity…even if she isn't mine. I'm sorry."

Minako bit her lip and slid off of Rei. "I understand."

Rei stood up, fixed her clothes, and gave Minako a hug. "Thank you."

Minako tried to playfully make the situation lighter and slapped her thigh. "Admit it, you're going to miss this."

"Ugh, don't remind me. It makes me want to kick myself in the forehead for that. I'm going to head out for a while to clear my head. I'll catch up with you later."

As soon as Rei left the palace, the playful smile on Minako's face left. She walked into the bathroom and stared at herself in the mirror. She was looking at a broken woman, a woman that couldn't even find pseudo love with her best friend, thanks to the curse. Minako screamed and swung at the mirror in rage, expecting to feel the pain of the shattered glass in her fist. She felt a hand grabbing her fist instead, a hand that belonged to Setsuna. She looked at the gatekeeper of time, who obviously was watching what just took place, and pounded her fists on Setsuna's shoulders, weeping. Setsuna wrapped an arm around her and rubbed her back. She couldn't break Kaitou Ace's curse that was on Minako, but at least she could give her some comfort.

After searching Rei's side of the palace, Serenity decided to look outside, where she saw Rei laying on a bench not too far away. She walked over to her and noticed that she was sleeping. Serenity tapped Rei.

"Rei?"

There was no response, so she tapped a little harder. "Reiiii?" Serenity jerked her hand back as Rei jumped out of her sleep.

"THE BLACK MOON CLAN IS HERE! GET THE KING AND QUEEN TO A SAFE PLACE! CALL THE OTHER SENSHI!"

Rei came out of her delusion when she landed on the pavement. "Ow…Serenity?"

"I'm so sorry, Rei! I didn't mean to startle you." Serenity offered her hand and helped Rei back up to her feet.

Rei rubbed her head. "Don't worry about it. How can I help you, my queen?"

"I want to talk to you. Let's sit down."

Rei followed Serenity's lead and sat down with her on the bench. "So what do you want to talk about?"

"What happened to us, Rei?"

"What are you talking about?"

"We used to be very close a long time ago. I remember when you would tease me and call me names. I remember how we would fight all the time. The best part was, no matter how much we argued, we were always there for each other."

"I'm still here for you now, Serenity."

"But it's not the same, Rei, and you know it."

Rei shifted her eyes from Serenity. She couldn't bear to hear the truth. "I'm…I'm just doing my job. It's my duty to serve you. What more do you want from me?"

"I want my friend back. I don't like the new Rei that is "just doing her job". I miss the old Rei, and I know she's still in there somewhere. Please come back to me," Serenity begged. Not too long after, drops of rain leaked from the sky.

Rei didn't know what to say to her. The old Rei was gone, and had no intention of coming back. The rain only served as a painful reminder of long ago when she yelled at herself for loving someone she could never have. However, she tried to use the weather as a way to dodge the uncomfortable situation. She stood up.

"My queen, it's beginning to rain. I need to get you inside."

Serenity was not having it though. She was getting her old Rei back.

"My queen, we need to get-"

Before Rei could finish, Serenity had locked her lips with Rei's. Rei's eyes opened with confusion.

"Rei, I love you," Serenity declared.

"L-love me?"

"Yes, Rei, I love you, and I want to be with you."

"Be with me? What about Endymion?"

"I spoke to him about it and he doesn't mind. In fact, he may be a little bit too supportive."

"And what about Chibiusa? What is she to make of her mother being with her father and a senshi?"

"I'll just tell her that my heart is big enough to love two people, because it is. She's young so she can accept it better. Besides, she sees you more like a mother than a senshi, just like I see you more as a friend than a guard."

"What about the people of Crystal Tokyo? What about the whole world?"

"I don't care about how they feel about the situation. If they don't like it, then that's too bad for them. I only care about one thing, and that's you being an official part of the White Moon family, not just an honored senshi. Would you accept my offer?"

This was so much for Rei to process at once. Serenity had just turned her life upside down in two minutes. "My queen, I have always loved you, and for so many years I had to hide my feelings for you."

Serenity held Rei tightly in her arms as Rei laid in between her neck. Her touch was healing all of the painful memories of the past. The rain was now serving as a new memory being molded. The emptiness in her eyes was finally filled with joy and wholeness.

"Rei, I'm so sorry you had to hide those feelings for me all of those years. I promise that you will never have to hide your feelings for me again."

"My queen…"

"Please, call me Usa when we are in private from now on."

"Usa…"

"Yes, Rei?"

"It's really starting to pour down now. I should get you inside."

"But I want to stay in the rain."

Rei removed herself from Serenity's embrace. "I'm not asking you. I'm telling you. You're going inside."

Serenity backed up from her now-controlling bodyguard. "No! I'm queen and I can do whatever I want! "

"Not as long as I'm around. You're going to act like a proper queen. Seriously, if I wasn't here, I bet you would make every day National Cake Day. Now you're getting inside before you catch a cold!"

Serenity couldn't help but to smile. After all, she had her Rei back.

Author Notes:

Thank you to all who patiently waited for the alternate ending. Let me know how you felt about this ending, whether you loved it or hated it. Don't keep me in the dark, please. I personally preferred this one since I'm not sick and in an angst mood anymore. Now that I'm done with this story, I will be putting all of my focus on "She's The King" so my loyal readers of that, please be on the lookout in the future.
