Part: Chapter 1-Love Captures Serena's Heart

Hey, my name is GoldStar! This is my not my first time writing a fan
fiction, but it is my first time posting it on the Internet. So please
be kind. I'm using the English names but I'm using the Japanese last
names and the Japanese names of Ami and Rei. I just like the spelling
of Ami's and Rei's name because it's different. The Sailor Scouts are
23 and out of college and are now deciding what they should choose as a
career. This is after the seasons ended (in the Anime, of course). I
have only seen the NA version, but have heard some things about the
Japanese version, so I know a little about the Japanese version. The
main characters are the Sailor Scouts, Darien, Greg, Chad, Ken, and Nick.
All the guys know that their girlfriends are Sailor Scouts. Anyway, I
hope you enjoy it! It's rated G.
Disclaimer: Sailor Moon does not belong to me. It belongs to Naoko
Takeuchi, DIC, and some other companies that I don't know of.

Chapter 1
By: GoldStar

January 25

"I love you," sighed Serena.
"I love you, too," said Darien. They had just finished having a
long, passionate kiss. They had been together for almost 9 years, Serena
thought, I can't believe that I have loved someone for so long. We
survived through everything. That was true. Serena and Darien had been
together ever since the Silver Millennium. Then after they were sent to
Earth in the future, they still found each other, but never got to kiss
because Darien had been brainwashed but then been revived. Then Allen and
Ann showed up and Serena tried to get Darien to remember about them
because Serena had wished that they would all have normal lives at the end
of the fight with Queen Beryl. She finally did, but broke up because Darien
had visions that if he didn't stay away from Serena, she would get
terribly hurt. Again, they got back together and found out that Rini,
from the future, was their daughter. Then Darien had to go to America
to go to Harvard to get a better education so he could fulfill his dream
of being a doctor. Serena and Darien were amazed that they had been
together for a long time and survived such things.
"We better go to meet the other Scouts," reminded Serena.
"Ok, but after that, I want you all to myself," exclaimed Darien.
So they had one more sizzling kiss and went to the Scouts Meeting.
When they got there, luckily Rei was busy kissing Chad to notice that
Serena and Darien were 10 minutes late.
"Ok, now that Serena is here, we can talk about Sailor Scout
business," said Ami.
"We know that Serena is here and kinda paying attention, but I'm
not so sure about Rei for the first time," giggled Mina.
"Rei, would you break it off already?!" yelled Lita. Rei didn't
seem to hear so Mina said,
"Rei, there's a monster that's ready to attack your grandfather!!"
That seemed to get Rei's attention, because she suddenly stopped kissing
Chad, and asked,
"Where?" Rei then saw that she was tricked. All the Scouts
giggled and laughed. Serena the hardest.
"Would you stop laughing now? You sound like a hyena!" Rei said
furiously to Serena.
"I'm s-s-sorry R-R-Rei. I-I-It w-w-was j-just so f-funny!
T-T-That l-look on y-your f-f-face was h-hilarious!" said Serena who was
laughing between words.
"Hey, Rei. Don't blame Serena," exclaimed Mina.
"Yeah Rei. We just had to get you to stop kissing Chad,"
apologized Lita.
"C'mon, you guys. We have to talk about Scout business," said
Ami.
"Ok, Ami. Sailor Scout Meeting is now in session. What do you
have for us today, Professor Ami?" asked Serena, pretending to look like
she was very interested.
"Well, nothing much. I just wanted to ask if anyone has seen
anything suspicious? There hasn't been anyone in sight for a very
long time," asked Ami.
"Well, isn't that good?" asked Rei.
"Of course it is. I guess that the Sailor Scouts aren't needed
until I'm queen of Crystal Tokyo," answered Serena.
"Why does Serena have everything planned out, and all we know
is that we're going to be the guardians of Crystal Tokyo?" asked Rei.
"That's a good question Rei," replied Luna.
"Yeah, but I think the time of Serena's reign as Neo-Queen
Serenity is near (well, not that near). So all of you will find out
very soon," responded Artemis. Serena looked at Darien knowingly.
"That's right, you only have about 100 years until you will
be the guardians and Serena the queen," remarked Luna.
"That's right. You'll live on for about forever, anyways. And if
you're married, then you pass it on to your husband," said Artemis.
"Well, is they're anything else to talk about?" asked Mina.
"No, I don't think so. Since no evil has come yet," replied Ami.
"Well, if there isn't anything else to talk about, is it okay if
I go because, I have to go meet Ken?" asked Lita.
"I guess it's alright if you all go now," replied Luna.
"Yeah, see you all in the next meeting," said Artemis. Luna walked
up to Serena and Darien and said,
"Serena, I need to speak with you for a second."
"Okay, Luna." After everyone left except for Serena and Darien,
Luna said,
"Serena, I think Artemis was right. Your reign as queen is coming
very soon."
"You think Luna?"
"I don't think, Serena, I know. You should know that by now.
Anyway, you have changed a lot since the first time a met you Serena.
Back then you were clumsy and such a cry baby and was always scared.
Now you are as graceful as a swan and you have faced your fears, also."
Luna watched as Serena and Darien looked at each other again.
"Um, Luna, can I go now?" asked Serena.
"Yes, you may," answered Luna. Then Serena and Darien went outside.
As they were walking to Serena's house, both of them were silent. Serena
was thinking about when Darien would ask the big question and Darien was
thinking if it was time to ask the big question. Serena then broke the
silence.
"Darien, what are you thinking about?" asked Serena.
"Huh?"
"I asked what were you thinking about?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Oh."
"Serena, can you get dressed by 7:30?"
"I guess so. Why?"
"It's a surprise." With that they shared one last passionate
kiss and then Darien went home.
****************************Later that night**************************
Serena was looking for her bracelet that night. She was wearing a dress
that had a slightly revealing V-neck, sleeveless, the waist was tight,
and the skirt went down to her ankles and had slits from her mid-thighs
and down that revealed her shapely legs beautifully. The color matched
Serena's eyes, which were a baby blue. She had on a baby blue Y-necklace
and a gold charm bracelet and earrings Darien had given to her for her
birthday. Her hair looked even more golden and silkier then it had in
the morning. Her lips were even pinker than normal. Somehow she knew
that this wasn't a casual date. I wonder what the surprise is? But deep
down she knew that Darien was going to pop the big question. Just then
she heard the doorbell ring and her mom calling.
"Serena, dear, Darien is here."
"Ok mom," answered Serena. She took a deep breath and went
downstairs. "I'll be right there," Serena called to Darien. She got
her shoes and put them on and walked to the door. When she got there,
she saw her dad looking suspiciously at Darien and Sammy talking to
Darien about computers. Darien was wearing a black tuxedo and a white
shirt inside. Close to what he wears when he is Tuxedo Mask. When
Darien saw Serena, he stopped talking to Sammy and just kept his eyes
on Serena.
"Serena, you look beautiful," said Serena's mom.
"Thanx Mom. I'll see you all later!" With that Serena took
Darien's hand and he lead her to his car. He opened the door for Serena
and she accepted. Darien walked over to his door and started the car
and drove away.
**************************In the Car**************************
"You look beautiful tonight," complimented Darien.
"Thank you. You too. So where are we going?" asked Serena.
"I told you, it's a surprise. And since it's a surprise, I
want you to put this blindfold on." Serena obeyed and put the
blindfold on. After 15 minutes, Serena felt the car stop. She heard
the driver's side door open. Then she heard hers. Darien took both
of Serena's hands and said,
"Get out of the car." Serena did. "Now I'll lead." Serena tried
to keep along as Darien kept saying, step up and step down. Finally
they stopped and Darien opened a door. Serena stepped in and asked,
"Where are we?" asked Serena.
"Almost finished," replied Darien. After a few moments, he told
Serena to take the blindfold off. After she took it off, she gasped.
They were in Darien's apartment. His room was dark and filled with
lighted candles. Romance music was in the air. Darien was standing
near the couch.
"This is amazing!" exclaimed Serena.
"Come with me onto the balcony," said Darien as he stood there
with his hand out, waiting for Serena to take it. She did and Darien
led her. After they were outside on the balcony, Darien said,
"Serena, you are the most beautiful woman in the entire universe."
Serena blushed violently.
"Thank you. You are the most handsomest."
"Serena, I want to tell you something."
"What?"
"Serena, you are the most important thing to me. I want to be
with you forever. I want you to be the first thing I see when I awake
and the last thing when I see when I'm asleep. And I know I will, but
they're all wills, nothing else. I want that to happen now."
"Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?" asked Serena,
smiling.
"It depends," answered Darien. He reached into his pocket and
took out a small black velvet box. Serena was near tears by then.
Darien took her hand and said, "Serena Tsukino, will you do me the honor of being my wife?"
"Of course I will, Darien Chiba. I would be honored to be Serena
Tsukino Chiba." Darien put on the ring that was diamond and shaped
like a moon. When he hugged her, she was crying and laughing at the
same time.
"You have made me the happiest man on earth. Dance with me, Serena."
"I will always agree to that." And they danced, but not to the
music that was playing, but to music that they could only hear.

So, what did you think? Could I have done better or is it good or bad?
Was it boring or ok? All comments or criticism welcomed. I know the
part where Lita said that a monster was going to attack Rei's grandpa
was corny! If you think it's boring, well, I can almost guarantee that
the third and so on chapters will be more exciting. It's just that
almost all the books that I have read, the first chapters are the most
boring of all the chapters in the book. The next chapter will be
called "Wedding Plans for Serena" and it's about exactly what the title
says. This chapter only talks about who does what and how Serena and
Darien tell the others of their engagement. It also tells the description
of the wedding gowns. But please read it. There's something I have to
ask you at the end of chapter 3. Well, till next time! Ciao!
