Hello all, my name is Selene Grace and this is my first fanfic to be posted. I do hope that you like the story and will send lots of reviews. I love reading what other people have to say! I know that the summary outside was not up to par so here are some questions prompted by a reader to get the down and dirty foundation on "From Betrayal to Redemption"

1. What is this fanfic about?

From Betrayal to Redemption is about certain people that Serena cared about: Raye, Lita, Mina, Amy, Darien, and Artemis ended up kicking her out of the group after she came late to a fight. Hurt and feeling betrayed she and Luna decided to leave Tokyo forever. With her parents' help she is able to move in with her grandmother in Massachusetts, America where she runs into four other people who are now destined to be her guardians. Six year past and Serena's powers grow beyond even Luna's exceptions. Now she has to return to Tokyo because an evil has come back to take over the world. You know how those bad guys are.

2. When or where does it take place? Either time or place can change throughout the fanfic.

The fanfic takes place after Serena and Darien break up. I'm not sure what season that is but it takes place then. And obviously it starts off in America and moves to Tokyo since that's where all the scouts and Darien are.

3. How old are those that are in this fanfic?

Since 6 years have past I put the girls at 21/22. Yes, I know that Amy is said to be a doctor but if you continue to read you find out that she was put ahead of her peers and managed to get out early. Darien and the other gentleman who are apart of my story are 24/25 when this story takes place.

4. If this takes place after Serena and Darien's break up where is Rini?

I decided not to include Rini in my fic. Please do not ask my why, it was just a decision that I made. She may appear later or some version of her later in the story. But that has yet to be finalized!

I hope that that gave all my readers a little bit of background on what is going on! All other questions that you may have starting now, will be answered as you read my fic. As said up above, please do send reviewers. I love them-even the flamers. Oh and the prologue is very short-its just setting things up

From Betrayal to Redemption Prologue

"I'm going back," Serena said. "I'm really going back."

She had just woken up from an un-restful night of sleep. She continued to have visions of fire and destruction that would fall upon those whom she cared for.

"Sere it's time to go. We're going to be late. You know how Matt is about tardiness," a male voice said from the behind the door.

"Some things never change," Serena mumbled as she looked up at the ceiling.

"And would you want them to?" the voice replied as he swung out the door and jumped on her with laughter.

"JASON! Get off of me," Serena exclaimed.

"What? Can't I express my love for you?" Jason mumbled beneath her hair.

"Not if your taking up precious time that will be needed to catch our flight," another man said from within the doorway.

"Always a pleasure to see you too Matthew," Jason replied.

"You do realize that our flight leaves in less than four hours and you are still not packed?"

"It'll take me twenty seconds."

"You have more clothes than Serena and Madonna and those bubble headed pop princesses combined. If I hadn't seen you in the kiddie pool when we were children I would swear to this day you were a woman trapped in that body."

"I am a god of fashion,' he said fanning himself.

"No, you're the god procrastination."

"Lighten up Matt. If we miss the flight then Serena can just teleport us there."

Serena who had been gleefully watching this debate between the two suddenly looked up seriously and said, "No I won't. I'd rather not go back if I didn't have to."

"Well you do, so deal with it and get up," Matt said.

"Give them a break Matt. This is hard for all of us," Luna said.

"Thanx Luna!" Jason exclaimed.

"Don't give me those smiles young man. I've been watching over you for the past six year and I yes I do love dearly. But if you don't leave my charge's room I will be forced to use bodily harm."

"See you on the plane Sere," Jason replied and ran past her.

When the door shut behind him, Serena arose from the bed and look out the window. 'I have to go back there. I have to. So much has changed for all of us though; changes that have made us who we are today. How do I overcome that?' she thought as she starred out into the distance.

"Serenity, if you do not get into that bathroom this minute…"

"I'm going Luna I'm going!" She replied and rushed into the bathroom. 'So much awaits our future and I fear that none of it will be easy to handle.'

Okay that's it. Please continue to chapter 1 by placing yoru cursor ontop of the arrow next to the words Prologue and lleft click your mouse. ENJOY!
