Nah If you've read my first two stories featuring the most famous couple in anime history (Serena and Darien, der!), then hopefully you'll like this one, it's sort of like a prequel thing, anyway hope you like it… Oh yeah, I almost forgot…I do not own Sailor Moon or any other characters related to the show.
Chapter 1 – A fateful reunion…
As a young teenage girl, looked to be around 16 years old, ran out of her two story house and down the road, her long blonde meatball hairstyle blew against the wind that she was creating as she ran.
"Oh man, I'm sooooooo late this time…I'm really gonna get it!" she thought as she finally reached her destination, the Crossroads High School in Tokyo.
"Hey Serena…" another voice called out from over the road, she was slightly taller then Serena and had long burgundy hair.
"Oh…hi Raye…I can't chat, I'm late!"
"Again! Serena…when will you start getting your bloody ass into gear girl?"
"Look Raye…I seriously can't-"
"Chat, I know…but listen, have you got anything planned for this Friday?"
"No, not that I know of why?"
"Oh…I was, well…I was wondering if you'd like to…oohhh come over for a movie night with the rest of the girls?" Ray suggested
"Yeah alright, it sounds great! Oh! I guess I should be off I'll see you later…" Serena replied beginning to run off into the school
"Bye" Raye called out, slightly lowering her voice before saying, "Good, she doesn't have a clue what we're planning…now, all I have to do is ask Darien…it's all going to plan…"
"Hey Serena, late again were we?" a much taller girl with shoulder length brown hair greeted from behind a tree
"Oh hi Lita…but it wasn't my fault; Mum didn't walk me up…" Serena replied sitting down beside her, ready to much down her lunch
"What happened to the alarm clock I gave you for your birthday last year?" another girl asked, with her short dark, blue hair glistening in the rays of sun that crept through the tree branches
"Oh, well…aahhhh, I'm not sure where I put that Amy…"
"Oh hey that reminds me; have you spoken to Raye lately?" Amy asked, while continuing on her homework
"I saw her this morning, on my way to school…we didn't talk for long though. She mentioned something about this Friday too. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, aahhhh…no reason, really" she replied, looking over towards Lita
"Hmmm, yep I'm sure…well, I better get going...I have to finish off my last 20 minutes of my detention still" Serena said, slowly getting up
"Alright sweetie, we'll see you later ok?" Lita replied watching their best friend leave towards a large building
Meanwhile, in town… Raye and Chad – a dumb-witted yet charming helper around her temple, were gathering some shopping when just then from around the corner came just the guy she was waiting to see…Darien, the famous 24 year old bachelor, who would seem to have eyes for no-one to the people within the city, but Raye could see past his appearance, she knew better then to believe the people, she knew he did have eyes for one…and who that was…was her 18 year old best friend…Serena…
"O.K Chad, here he comes; take the rest of these and I'll meet you back at the car" she ordered, handing him the rest of the shopping and slowly walked over to Darien.
"…Darien, over here!" she called, waving her hand furiously in the air, trying to grab his attention
"Huh? Oh…hi Raye. What you up to?"
"That's just what I was gonna ask you…" she began, walking closer towards him "But, for this Friday night I mean…"
"Oh, well…I don't think I've got anything planned, why?" he asked, looking some what confused
"Well, you see it's going to be Serena's birthday I almost a week, but Mina, Lita and myself will be out of town for a school thing for when she turns 18; so we decided that we could through her a small party before we leave…and I, aahhhh I mean we were wondering if-"
"If I'd like to come?" Darien interrupted
"Well, yes…if you wouldn't mind being surrounded by a bunch of girls, and Serena of coarse"
"Yeah you do have a point there, but I'd love too…it is Serena's 18th after all"
"Really? You'll come! Oh, this is gonna be so great! Oh, um o.k. well we're gonna have it at my place, you know…the large temple up the road with the massive gardens…"
"Oh yeah, it's nice there… o.k. Um, what time should I be there?"
"Around 4, that way Lita and Amy can stall her at the Arcade for a bit, while we get everything ready"
"O.k. 4 it is…see you there Raye; bye!" he greeted, saying goodbye before leaving
"Perfect…this is just going the way I like it" she mumbled to herself while walking back to where Chad was, still standing near the car with all their shopping bags
"There it's done, we can go home now," she suggested to Chad as he started to place the shopping in the boot of the car
"Great…we should be getting back anyway, I promised your Grandfather that I'd get more training done…"
"Yeah, o.k."
Friday came, and Darien not to mention everyone else was anxious, apart from Serena who still was left in the dark; Lita, Mina, Amy and Raye had Serena's birthday ready to go. So it came to be Friday 5minutes past 4 (4:05pm) and now Darien waited rather frightfully for the girl to arrive at Raye's temple, but yet they all awaited for, the girl to show up, and soon.
"Alight, everything is in place…bring Serena 'round now…" Raye's voice echoed through her mobile
"O.k. we'll leave now I guess… I think Amy ad I will get her to head through the front door o her own, so leave the back door open" Lita replied, while watching Serena cower over a new Sailor V game.
"Yeah, no problem…oh! We'll be hiding in my room too…freak her out a bit first I think," she said, with an evil cackled escape her throat
"O.k. sounds good… we'll be over in a few" Lita greeted quickly hanging up and moving over towards Serena and Amy
"Alright, Raye just called, said she'd like us over there now…" Lita winked to Amy
"Oh, yeah…C'mon Serena, we need to leave…we promised Raye we'd have a movie night tonight, remember?" Amy pleaded trying to drag Serena away from one of her beloved Sailor V video games.
"Just one more go, Raye won't mind…just let me beat this boss…I promise we'll leave after that…"
"No! We need to leave, now!" Lita ordered, actually pulling her away from the game and out of the arcade towards in the direction of Raye's temple.
"Alright, I'm going…geeze; what's your rush anyway?"
"Movies, Serena; and cake… Raye made a chocolate cake too" Lita tried
"Ca…Cake…chocolate…what are we waiting for? Lets move…Mina could eat the whole thing before we even get there!" Serena replied, running ahead.
About 5 minutes past, and the three girls made their way to the temple, up the giant staircase towards the front opening
"O.k.…um Amy and I have to get something from around the back, make your way in…Raye should be there…"
"But, why do you have to go? Raye can do whatever it is later…"
"No, Lita's much taller the Raye; and stronger…" Amy replied, as both Lita and herself made their way behind the house
"Um, alright…" Serena replied, slowly watching them walk off.
As Serena slowly, walked up the steps to the front door to enter her friend's house, the empty…dark…temple…a cool breeze hissed through the entire house, which seemed to freak her out even more.
"Raye…Mina." she called, slowly walking into the lounge room, ready to reach for the light-switch, when she heard a THUD from the direction of Raye's bedroom
"Hel…Hello…guys; are you here?" she called out again, when suddenly a flicker of light caught her eye over there again…. Raye's bedroom, with it's light on?
Oh good Raye's here at least… Serena thought as she walked over, standing only inches away from the doorway, peeking in slightly to find…nothing?
"Hmmm, that's weird" she mumbled, deciding to turn the light off, stating to walk back down the hall-way towards the lounge room again, when she heard another much louder, THUD. This time, Serena practically ran back to the room, placing her hand over the flat surface of the light switch, when she suddenly felt someone's hand upon hers…such a smooth, warm touch, and yet it felt so, right…so familiar; while without a second thought, she wrapped her hand around the other's, holding it tight felling it's warmth over come her; another minute went by when Serena quickly regained control, and quickly flicked the light on to find…
"D…Darien…?" she questioned, in slight shock and excitement – "Wha…what are you…doing here?"
"I'm here…for you"
"Yeah; we're all here…SURPRISE!" the four other girls shouted out from behind Darien
"What! Why…are you doing this?"
"Well, it's your 18th" Lita replied, trying to push herself past the others
"But why? I don't turn 18 until next week…"
"We know that! But…we'll be out of town on your birthday…Amy should've mentioned something" Raye replied, as she began to turn the lights back on through the house
"Yeah she did…but more like a 3-day tutorial…" Serena joked, as she, Amy ad Lita sat down on the 4-seater couch I the lounge room, admiring the many paintings on the walls
"Oh, that's really mature Serena…" Darien suddenly burst out, sitting next to her
"What! And who invited you anyway?" she snapped back
"We did! Ad besides, he wanted to join in the fun too" Mina said, with a wink towards Darien
"Yeah, so try not to argue to much" Raye ordered, grabbing some soda-pop out of the fridge
"Fine" Serena replied, poking her tongue in Darien's general direction hoping it would annoy him; but something was wrong with him, he didn't react at all…instead he just sat there, staring deep into her eyes
"So, what's the plan for tonight?" Amy asked, taking a can of soft drink from Raye
"Hmmmm, watch a few movies, eat cake…" Raye began, waiting for Serena's reaction – "And we'll play Truth or Dare, my style!"
