Hey everyone! Welcome to the revised, rewritten edition of my one shot, fluff fic, Hot Pursuit!

I wrote the fic in January of 2001, it took less than an hour to write it as I was hit by inspiration. This fic is pure, undiluted fluff with some cute, romantic sap to give everyone a happy boost. Interestingly enough, my bad ability at updating and actually writing vanished for this fic, I had two fics out within a month! The fic is slightly based on real life, the first guy I ever loved and I used to have these paint fights in Art class - which ended up with us laughing and stumbling all over eachother.

Review please. (There is a possibility of a sequal)

IMPORTANT Notes: This takes place in the Second Silver Millenium. There is NO such person as Chibi-Usa ::Stupid Flamingo brain:: and Endymion and Serenity are still not King and Queen but just living happily in their own palace. I wrote this in less than hour, I was so inspired!

HOT PURSUIT

Imperial Princess Serenity shrieked as she scrambled through the halls of the Earth Palace, her husband, Prince Endymion, hot in pursuit.

"USAKO!"

Perhaps spraying him with a watergun had *not* been the best method to wake him up.

On the other hand, the look on his face when he woke up had been priceless. It wasn’t everyday you saw the usually composed Prince of Earth soaking wet and spluttering.

      Then again, that look had quickly vanished only to be replaced by one which was nothing short of vengeful anger.

      But, Endymiong … Spluttering! Serenity stood by her decision.

      Giggling at the memory she continued her sprint. Her long hair billowed behind her like a cape, and she vaguely worried that it would get caught in something. All of sudden the seriousness of her situation caught up with her. If Endymion caught her : She’d be dead!

      Serenity lowered her head and booted it.

Endymion was peeved.

No, actually, he was raging mad.

Serenity was quick, he’d give her that. She must have planned an escape route. However, when it came down to it, he was quicker on his feet. Endymion's mind quickly considered all the possibilites of what he could possibly do to her once she was captured. He briefly pondered whether spanking her would be out of the question. A little surprised at his rather scandalous thoughts, Endymion grinned evilly in anticipation and sprinted forward.

Serenity was extremely glad that she had mapped out an escape route. Unfortunately, Endymion seemed to be gaining on her. Her mind raced to determined a technique to throw him off.

      She decided on merciless teasing.

"Give up Mamo-Chan! You're all *wet!*"

Hearing the enraged shout from her husband, Serenity became aware of the worrisome fact that instead of throwing him off, she had but fuelled the fire.

Perhaps tickling her until she was begging for mercy was a better punishment. . .

Running past a desk, Serenity quickly pushed its cushioned seat behind her and continued her getaway until she came to a door. Slowing down, she slid into the room and made her way into its depths.

"HEY!" Endymion swerved to escape a total clutz out over a stool.

No, both a ticking and spanking would probably do.

He paused in the empty hallway, and after much consideration entered the study. Oh, she was a clever one, his wife! Aware of Serenity’s crouched form behind one of the desks, he smirked.

"Usako?" He called passively, "Usako … don't worry … I'm not mad."

      Yeah right.

      Like she’d fall for that! Honestly, she loved the man, but he could be rather dense on occasion. She knew her husband, a few moments of being quiet and he’d leave thinking that she was somewhere else.

      Poor Naïve Endymion.

      Sometimes Serenity pitied him a little. The trusting, trusting man.

      The prince in question meanwhile wandered around the study. Purposely thickening his voice with innocent stupidity, he mumbled, “Oh, I guess she's not in here."

He fell for it! She cackled happily to herself.

::::Author's Note:::Don't forget to review! ^_^::::

Slowly circling around the room, Endymion disappeared out of Serenity's limited view. She blinked and craned her neck to catch sight of him when a steel hand landed on her shoulder. She shrieked and whirled around only to come face to face with her very angry husband.

Crap!

"Who's laughing now Princess?" Endymion growled.

Instantly her eyes filled with tears. He blinked and looked at Serenity in surprise as she began to sob.

"Uh … Usako?"

"All … All … I did was … play a lit … a … little joke!!!!" She wailed, burying her face in her hands, "P … Please … don't get angry!"

He stuttered in surprise, "Usako. . .I'm not angry. . .don't worry honey. . ."

Endymion slowly slid his arms around Serenity’s waist, pulling her to his chest. His hands moved down around her hips as he pulled her closer to him. His poor darling! Guilt blossomed in his heart. He really never should have been so harsh with her.

"Really?" She croaked.

"Really." He released her and smiled tenderly at her.

In an instant her face broke into a grin and somehow the water gun surfaced out of nowhere, and Endymion was once more hit in the face with a funnel of water.

"SUCKER!" She laughed deviously and ran out of the room as fast as she could.

Endymion stood still.

He breathed in slowly.

Regally he wiped his face.

Then ran out of the door like a bullet.

Catching up with his wife in an instant he swooped down and picked her up, throwing her over his shoulder a la barbarian. She shrieked and kicked wildly, knowing the game was up.

"No! No! No!!!!! Lemme go!!"

Slowly, Endymion sauntered down the hallway as he began to lecture her. "Darling Usako." He smacked his lips, "Now. . . let me think about the crimes you have committed. Firstly, you woke me up from my precious slumber and drenched me with a water gun. Are you sorry for that?"

She paused and then giggled, "No!"

Smack!

He smacked her bottom and she yelped indignantly, "Mamo-Chan!"

"Tut tut, beloved wife. Then you ran away from me, deciding not to face the consequences. Instead, you chose to allude your punishment as much as possible. Are you sorry for that?"

"No!"

Another gentle love swat landed on her rear and though they did not really hurt, she decided to shriek for affect. Giggling at Endymion's antics she waited for the next question while trying to squirm off his shoulder.

"Then, sweet lover, you shed some crocodile tears and made me feel guilty for a crime that *you* committed. Are you sorry for that?"

Wondering what he would do, she answered with a quiet and remorseful, "Yes Mamo-chan." as she hung over his shoulder, arms dangling.

Another smack. That one stung and Serenity squealed and wriggled, "I said I was sorry!" She pouted crossly.

"Yes Dear Heart, but you did not mean that at all." Endymion smirked.

Reaching the door to their bedroom he walked in and deposited her on their canopy bed. Walking back to the door he shut it, then turned to her, eyes narrowing.

Serenity gulped and watched him through big dewy eyes.

Rolling up his sleeves, his eyes darkening dangerously, Endymion walked over to her, "Finally, you took advantage of my loving state, Precious little one, and sprayed me once again. Are you sorry for that?"

She looked at him innocently, then paused as if carefully contemplating her response, "Not at all you Waddlepooh!"

Endymion's fingers descended on his wife immediately and she wriggled and screamed beneath him as he tickled her mercilessly.

"No!! STOP!" Serenity begged, tears running down her face as she was submitted to the worst torture ever.

Deciding that she had been punished enough he pulled back. Looking down at her, Endymion raised an eyebrow, "Waddlepooh?"

Serenity looked up at her husband, her face flushed and her breathing laboured, "I made it up."

He nodded, "Ah." Laying down next to his wife, Endymion pulled her close to him. He ran his hand down her back then gently rubbed the area he had smacked. "Hope I didn't smack too hard." he grinned into her hair.

"Oh yes," Serenity countered, "I thought I wouldn't be able to handle it."

He laughed softly and kissed her forehead.

"Mamo-Chan?" She asked after a few moments.

"Yes?" He snaked his arms around her waist, successfully spooning her.

"You aren't mad at me are you?"

Inwardly Endymion laughed. Only his delightful wife would ask that at this moment. “No darling, I’m not.”

He paused and considered something for a moment, “But, now that you mention it lover, I don’t think you were punished correctly.”

      Endymion straddled her waist and looked down at her seductively. His strong jaw clenched as he took in his beauty.

      Serenity smiled at his suggestion, and glanced up at him with an equally sexy look. She bit her bottom her lip and giggled as he began to unbutton his shirt.

After half the buttons of her pink shirt were undone, Endymion paused. “Close your eyes, angel.”

Serenity complied, a smile on her lips.

Nothing happened.

Impatiently she wriggled, "What is it?"

"A surprise, Usako," he answered as he shifted above her.

Then after a few moments, "Alright sweetheart, open your eyes."

Serenity did and was immediately hit by a barrage of cold water.

"MAMO-CHAN!!!!!"

And the chase was on. . .

Tee hee! You like? I love! It's pure fluff! *Glomps Mamo-chan* He's so sexy! ^^

REVIEW please
