Breakup
A/N: Okay, yeah I know I should be updating my other stories. But this was going to be lost forever if I hadn't done it immediately!
Its an Alternate Reality, not Alternate Universe. They are still sailor soldiers. And Serena, and Darien are still royalty. However, Unlike most Sailor Moon FF writers, I dislike switching from Darien, to Endymean, to several other nicknames. Same goes for the rest of the Characters. They will be as follows... Darien, Serena, Rei, Mina, Ami, Lita, Amara, Michelle, Hotaru, Trista, Helios, and Andrew the arcade guy.
Rini is the only person who will be referred to as Rini, Serenity, and Small Lady. Telling you now depending on if I decide to drag this out, I MAY call Serena; Serenity as well. MAYBE!
Summary: Darien and Serena break up. For real this time, because Darien realizes he has feelings for another one of the scouts. And when Serena confronts him, she demands that he at least grant her one wish so she can still be happy without him.

Okay, just so we're clear. On with the story, shall we?
"Talking"
'thinking' or 'thinking' (depends on if I forget or not.)
Serena was walking towards Darien's apartment. She had suspected this for a while, but upon receiving a letter today from her future self, she knew her suspicions weren't pure paranoia.
She stood outside his door for ten minutes before she believed she could keep her emotions in check. After all, she'd been practicing since she started High school four years ago.
Finally knocking, she waited patiently for Darien to open the door. "Serena? I wasn't expecting you.. Please come in, what's wrong?" He asked the last part as she walked past him into the hallway without her usual enthusiastic glomp. (A/N: Seriously? You expected her to have grown up THAT much just going through high school? I don't think so. Lolz!) She stood there with a look of both hurt and uncertainty in her gaze, which he realized wasn't even focused on him directly, but rather his general area. "Darien, let's sit." She said, as she turned and walked into his living room. Glancing at the wall clock, Darien saw that it was well past midnight, and figured Serena was probably staying with one of the other scouts tonight. Or so thought her parents. "What is it Serena?" He asked again once they were seated. Suddenly feeling courageous, she looked him in the eyes without any trace of hurt, or fear. "How long did you intend to let this go on before just telling me you were in love with my friend?" Darien's back stiffened, not only in shock, but at the icy tone of her voice. 'How did she know?' Darien thought, though actually was saying.. "Serena, hun, that ridiculous. I would nev..." "You Forgot My Birthday!" She said standing as well, her voice slightly less icy, but more forceful, and a bit louder. She put a hand to her chest and regulated her breathing to keep from crying. "And you forgot our anniversary. And did you know that my graduation is in a few short weeks? Or that I'm graduating in the top rankings of my class?" She looked at him hopefully this time, as though she wished she wasn't right. But when all he could say was a muttered "I.." she looked away from him in anger. "Darien I am mad, yes, and My heart hurts yes. But..." "Serena we can't work it out this time. Things are over between us now." He said, taking the offensive. She looked him straight in the eyes again, seemingly unaffected, save for the tears threatening to fall from her eyes. "I know. However, as you have treated me more than unfairly, to state it politely. I want you to grant me one wish so as to ensure my own happiness while you have yours." he though on that for a moment then nodded, "Its only fair Serena, go ahead." She took a deep breath, as if to help give her the nerve to ask this request.
"I want you to give me Rini." She stated pointedly. Darien was taken aback... She had just, albeit evasively, asked him to take her virginity. "Serena I can't do..." "Yes you can! I'm asking for one time, if it doesn't work then fine! But Seems how you don't love me anymore, at least do this for Rini! She deserves this much! She deserves to still have a life Darien. You've taken my heart from me, don't take my daughter away to!" Now the tears were falling uncontrollably. Darien stood there shocked. Serena had never yelled at him before, and on top of that if she were to ever refer to Rini as their, it was just that. Plain and simple, OUR Daughter. Never your, and never my. But now he could see just how deeply he'd cut her. And it hurt him deeply as well to think that Rini's life would be destroyed through his selfishness. "Serena I do love you." She snorted at this. "I'm just no longer in love with you. I don't think its right. And I really don't think I should do it. But I'll grant your request. We'll try this one time. Because Rini deserves that chance. But Serena there's no guarantee that..." "I will get pregnant! I know I will!" She said, still clearly upset, but somewhat calmer than before. "Serena, what if you don't?" Darien didn't want to think what she might do to herself if she lost them both forever. "I'll go to college and try to start a new life. Maybe, I haven't thought of a back up plan. Because I know this will work." She looked so determined, that Darien finally gave in. "Alright." he said, and held out his arms to her. She slowly walked into his embrace, and only made it through the night calmly because while she was in his arms, and he was holding her so close, and kissing away any pain she had. It was almost easy to pretend he still loved her.
The following day she called her friend so that Darien could start his knew life with her. She knew they both cared for each other. So she stayed to assure her friend that it was perfectly fine.
She showed up around noon at Darien's apartment. And Serena explained that Darien and her mutually agreed upon the breakup because they both felt differently now. Lita however could see the bold faced lie that Serena was trying to force feed her, and became very angry. "How could you be such a bastard Darien! Even if I DID still like you, I would never, NEVER betray Serena like that! How could either of you even think such a thing!" After her rampage she could see that Serena was about to faint and quickly went to the aid of her friend. Darien started to assist them, but Lita snapped at him. "Don't you DARE to touch her Darien! There will be an emergency scout meeting tomorrow night at the temple. Be there, or else!" looking back to Serena, whom was now silently crying, though looking at Lita with such adoration. Lita gave her a comforting smile. "Come along sweetie, let's get you home to your apartment." Lita said. "Apartment?" Darien asked shocked, he thought she was still living with her parents. Lita glared at him, and didn't grace him with a reply as she helped Serena outside, and into Lita's car.
~In the car~
"Lita I thought..." "I told all of you it was only a crush. I never would have actually acted on it. And I only kissed him that night cuz I was drunk Serena, and I told you I was sorry. I never thought... That is, I couldn't believe it would..." Sighing in frustration, she changed the subject. "Did he agree?" Serena looked up in alarm. "How did you know!" she asked, tears in her eyes once more. "Rei got a letter from her future self while looking to the future in the fire at the temple. It was a puzzle describing great pain to the Queen's heart. So to make sure you were okay, she went to your apartment and found the note Neo Queen Serenity sent you. Within minutes we all received warning from our future selves saying that the Queen would need our undying support. We put two 'n' two together and figured your only reason to go to Darien after receiving that letter was to save Rini. So I'll ask again, did he..." "I made him agree, by putting Rini's death on his conscious." Lita looked shocked by this statement for several minutes she said nothing. Then she let that same comforting smile touch her lips. "I'm proud of you Serena, we all are. Rei called the sailor meeting to discuss how to keep Darien away from you while we finish taking out the monsters that escaped, and still attack. Ami found earlier this week that we greatly underestimated the number of Nega scum that are still around. She also uncovered that Jedite escaped his imprisonment and is gathering forces. But that's not what's important right now. You know we'll all support you and Rini. And we all want to be a part of her life. But we realize that will be no easy feat with Darien around. You know he's going to want to be a part of her life?" Serena was silent for a moment. I've already thought of that. And I made a plan, Take us to the temple. I'll tell you all there."
The Scouts all spent that night, and the rest of the next day discussing the problem at hand. When Darien arrived that night, the outer System soldiers had already arrived. He looked into each of their eyes trying to discern if he still had a friend in any of them. Pity was reflected in all their eyes, save for Jupiter, and Sailor Moon, both of which held anger.
Sailor Pluto spoke first. "Prince Darien, because of your actions. The future is uncertain. I have seen glimpses of Neo Queen Serenity ruling alone, and in sadness. And other glimpses have shown have shown You ruling alone, and searching. For what I am not sure. And still there were others where the silver kingdom was never established, and the world fell into the rule of a chaotic government. But as I said, the future is uncertain. And the courses of time are many, whereas I have only revealed few."
Sailor Mars picked up where she left off. "We've decided Darien, that for the good of Sailor Moon as our leader, and in so the rest of us as a team. That you should not assist in any of our battles from here on." Darien made as to object when Sailor Moon spoke first. "This was a group decision not suggested by either myself of Sailor Jupiter. When the outer system Soldiers arrived, they were all four of the same mind." Here she paused to steady herself, so Sailor Uranus stated it for him. "You have betrayed the crown, and the Silver Kingdom to which you swore to help establish, and protect." She spat it at him like acid. He kept further objections to himself. "So what is the decision Sailor Moon?" He asked her directly to keep the others from interrupting. "Its been decided that if you so please you may observe our battles. But you are not to assist in any of them unless I, as Sailor Moon, or Queen Serenity call upon your aid. Do you swear that you will honor this?" "I Swear." He responded. "If you break this oath. We the silver kingdom soldiers will strip you of your powers as Tuxedo Mask. But it is not within even my authority to take away the Prince of Earth title which is rightly yours by birth. Therefore in accordance with eliminating your Sailor powers, we will spread throughout the system that you are a dishonorable Prince, and unfit to rule. Are you in agreement with these terms?" He was shocked at how calm Serena was able to keep herself. After thinking on the terms for a few moments he nodded. "Your terms are just Sailor Moon. But I wish to speak of a different matter now. One which only concerns You and I Seren..." "You will not be a part of Rini's life should I succeed. I decided this before we even established this meeting. It was my plan all along." she spoke icily. At hearing this though, Darien become enraged. "You May not even get pregnant! And if you do, you can't just deny me our Daughter! I have a right!" "You have no right!" Mercury spoke now, harshly, and the tone took everyone by surprise. "Last night when Serena approached you her argument was that you could not deny her 'HER' Daughter. And you agreed. Had she said 'Our' you would still have a claim to see Rini, should Serena become pregnant. But you agreed to grant Serena a chance for Her child. And because of this you've denied right to the child." Darien was about to object once more, when Venus spoke up. "Darien we are still your friends. Don't make this any harder. There is no one to blame but yourself. Besides you said so yourself, the is little chance, let alone no guarantee that Serena will even become pregnant." He glared at Mina, and clenched his teeth. "Yes that's true, but how will you hide a pregnancy from me?" he said, still angry with Serena. "I have no intention of hiding anything. But as it is unlikely you will see me, unless you intentionally seek me out. You wont no either way." she spoke as though she had a plan to evade him. "You CANNOT deny me seeing Rini!" he almost yelled heading towards Serena. He wouldn't have hurt her they all knew that. But presently they were taking extra precautions. Every Sailor stiffened and went into a stance. And Sailor Saturn stepped in his path, blade of her staff shifting subtly to be pointed more in his direction then anywhere else. "Calm yourself Highness. It was your decision to create a new destiny, and now it is her decision to choose her own." she said calmly. Darien knew then that what he had done had turned all the Sailor Soldiers against him. Sure they might eventually forgive him. But he would have to work for it. Right now he was powerless, as well as friendless. "Very well, I'll keep my word not to interfere with the Sailors. But I will want to see our Daughter should you succeed Serena." He stated calmly, then started to walk away. "I'll see to it you don't." he heard her whisper. Before he was completely out of sight, he looked back. They had all transformed back to normal. And Serena was crying, face in hands. And her friends trying to console her. Just then Rei, Ami, Michelle, and Mina looked in his direction. They quickly glanced at each other, and Ami mouthed 'We're sorry' to him. He nodded and said 'me too' before leaving.
