Author's Note: Hey all! Tia has returned! Well I really want your opinion on this prologue! If you don't like it, then I won't bother putting up the rest of it! This is set in Sailor Moon S, when they were after the pure heart crystals. I was watching one of the episodes and I noticed that the scouts and Darien flirt with each other a lot! I mean the scouts are always around when Serena and Darien are together! So this is my take on that! Let me know if you like it!

"REI!" Serena screamed as she saw Sailor Mars collapse to the ground. Serena continued to fight and glanced around her. Sailor Jupiter, who was bleeding from the cut on her arm, was helping Sailor Venus off the ground and Sailor Mercury was typing furiously on her mini computer.
"Sailor Mars…Are you al…AHH!" Serena screamed, as something sharp pierced her leg. She looked down to see one of the knives the monster had been throwing, sticking out of her thigh. Serena bent down and pulled it from her leg. She ignored the blood gushing from her cut and turned back to the monster.
"I can't let the others get hurt…not any worse then they already are." Serena thought.
"Sailor Mars…Are you alright?" Serena panted, as she tried to keep up with the monster's attacks.
"I'm fine…just a sprain." Rei called from the ground. Serena ran towards the monster and kicked it in the faced. The monster retaliated with a shallow slice across Serena's shoulder, cutting off the sleeve of her costume. Serena turned to see her friends studying Ami's computer for a weakness.
"Did you guys find anything yet?" Serena called.
"No…it doesn't seem to have any weaknesses." Ami yelled back.
"Why aren't they helping me?" Serena thought as she punched the monster in the face once more, and the monster moved to stab Serena's chest. Suddenly a red rose came shooting through the air, knocked all of the knives out of the monster's hand. Serena looked up to see her savior.
"Thank god Darien is here…I'm so afraid." Serena searched the trees for him. She heard a whimper from behind her and turned to see Darien rushing towards Rei to help her to her feet.
"Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, Sailor Mercury…are you three alright?" Tuxedo Mask called.
"We're fine!" They called back. Serena whipped her head back around and kicked the monster furiously in the jaw.
"Nice to know he is so concerned about his girlfriend." Serena thought and she pulled out her scepter and called out her attack. Finally she dropped to the ground, to weak to stand on her feet any longer. Serena finally acknowledged the pain coming from her wounds, and looked down at her leg.
"Shit…that's really deep. I'm going to have to go to the hospital." Serena thought as she detransformed and turned to ask for Darien's help. She saw him, surrounded by the other scouts, checking Rei's ankle, slowly rotating it.
"What the hell? It's a freaking sprain! She's sprain her ankle a million times!" Serena thought angrily and pulled herself to her feet. She heard herself gasp at the pain coming from her legs and scowled.
"You have to be strong!" She screamed at herself. She then turned and began to limp in the direction of the hospital. She heard the others turned and gasp as they saw her leg completely covered in her own blood, and the many cuts around her mid-section.
"Oh my god Serena! I totally forgot about you! Are you ok?" Darien called as he ran forward. Serena closed her eyes and fought off her tears.
"Forgot about me?" She thought. She turned and faced him.
"I'm fine…I'm just going to the hospital now to take care of it." Serena responded, surprisingly calmly. Darien's eyes scanned her body, looking over all her injuries.
"Shit Serena…you're hurt really bad." Darien said as he took a step forward.
"You wouldn't think so, would you?" Serena sneered. Darien stopped moving and looked at Serena in surprise.
"What are you talking about?" Darien asked. Serena shook her head at his ignorance.
"You didn't even help me fight Darien! You ran straight to Rei and the others! I needed your help! I was scared…and I needed your help." Serena ended with tears in her eyes.
"I knew you could do it Serena, but the others looked like they needed help." Darien answered, looking uncomfortable. Serena snorted.
"Yeah I know…sprained ankles are really tough." Serena answered and started to walk again.
"Wait Serena! Don't you want me to help you?" Darien asked. Serena turned around.
"A little late for that! I'll be fine…I can do it on my own…remember?" Serena called over her shoulder. Serena ignored them yelling for her to come back and kept walking. Slowly the tears she had been holding back fell from her eyes.
"Why should I care?" Serena thought. "Obviously the others are more important to him…why should I stand in their way." Serena thought bitterly.
