Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or any of its characters.

Authors note: I got the idea of this fanfic from this Korean movie I saw. I'm not really sure what the name of the movie is but it did leave a deep mark in my mind so that's why I decided to recreate it with Serena and Darien. It might confuse some of you when you first read it but I hope I can clarify it. Hope you enjoy reading this.

P.S. italize words are the words inside the book.

After the rainstorm, Rene looked outside her window. It was the middle of the afternoon and the sky was beginning to clear out. She saw a rainbow. Rene remembered how her mother used to tell her that a rainbow is the door to heaven. Rene smiled to herself. Her mother was in heaven now.

After Serena's funeral a few weeks ago Rene decided to clean her mother's possessions. Rene and Serena had a close daughter-mother relationship since her father died early. Rene was already a 2nd year in college and could live by herself. She is average height, has long flowing natural pink hair with a pretty face. Her life seemed to be pretty simple as well.

Rene had only one friend whom she actually talked to, Marie. Marie is a very beautiful young woman who was tall, athletic, out- going and nice most of the time. Only problem is she likes to show off a bit too much and especially what she prized most. Her boyfriend, Elios. Elios was a 3rd year in college and only a year older than both Rene and Marie. He loved art and started his own club and became the president of it.

Rene met Elios when she saw Marie and him on a date at the movies. It was love at first sight but Rene kept it all to herself. She usually wasn't shy but Elios is her friend's boyfriend.

On the floor was a box of Serena's books. Rene picked it up and thought about putting it in the attic. While in the attic, Rene found a rectangular box. It was made of wood and had beautiful flower markings on it. It looked as if no one touched it for years since it had dust surrounding it. Rene picked it up. She blew off the dust and wiped the cover with her hands. Then she bought it downstairs to the table in her living room.

Just as she was about to open the box, the phone rang. Rene stood up and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey Rene!" came the familiar voice.

"Marie?"

"Yeah it's me. Me and Elios are at the art museum right now. You know the one that just opened last week? We're wondering if you want to come and join us. It's very gorgeous here."

"Umm... Maybe later if I have time. I'll think about it."

"Oh. Alright but try and make it."

"I will. Have fun now. Bye."

"Bye."

Rene hanged up and put the phone back in its receiver. She really didn't want to see Marie and Elios whispering words of love and kissing each other in front of her. So she went back to the wooden box.

The first thing Rene saw when she opened the box was bunches of old letters. The envelopes and letters are turning yellow already. After taking out the letters, at the bottom of the box there's an old book. It looked more like a journal after turning a few pages. She put the journal back down and looked at the envelopes. Then she realized all the letters were sent to her mother. Rene primary thought they were just old family letters and put them aside. When she was about to turn to read the journal, she thought about Elios and the urge to see him came. Her legs seemed like it didn't belong to her anymore as she began to stand up and move toward the door.

--At the Museum

Rene walked inside the museum and saw fascinating modern artworks. She was never an artistic person but ever since she found out that Elios was so interested in art, she took classes and art soon became a hobby of hers. A bright, multicolored artwork caught her eye and she moved towards it. Then a familiar face blocked her view.

"Hey you're here!"

"Oh hi Marie." Then she saw Elios "and hello Elios"

"Hey" came the deep masculine voice.

"We've been walking around here for circles already. Since its getting late, why not let Elios treat us ladies to dinner?" Marie said with a wink.

"Sure, why not." Responded Elios with a smile as he looked at Marie.

Getting a lot uncomfortable already Rene thinks its best to leave them two alone.

"I ate before I came so I'm really not that hungry. I think I'll look around here. You're right that this place is gorgeous."

Rene faked a smile that never reached her eyes as she looked down on the floor. It really doesn't matter if the smile is real or not as long as it fooled Marie, Rene thought.

"Well if you say so. We'll leave you here now and if you change your mind later, just give me a call. Come on honey. I'm hungry."

With that, Marie pulled Elios' arms and headed towards the parking lot. Rene waved good-bye but she doesn't think any of them saw it. Then with her head down, she walked towards the painting she was looking at before.

--At home

After walking around and looking at artworks for hours, Rene took the bus home. Her feet felt sour and her eyes still stingy from some of the bright colors she saw. She began to slouch on the sofa and close her eyes. Then she remembered the journal. Rene stood up and went to the table to get the old book. She turned to read the first page, not knowing it will uncover her mother's life and that it will also bring tears to her very own eyes.

The cover was plain navy blue and had no writing on it. The ends and sides were torn through age. Inside on the first page, in the center was written "My life since Day One that I met you." I wonder who wrote this thought Rene. At first, the book seemed to be like a journal but as she looked on, it turned out to be more like a story book. She flipped to the second page.

August 3rd 1966

It was the first day I met him and the most memorable day of my life. During summer break I spent my time near the country where there is a large lake. I always wanted to be in a small boat and ride across the lake but no one ever let me. My father was a successful businessman and he loved his reputation. He would never let me, his only daughter, go without supervision but I don't want to be followed by so many people.
I arrived early that day with my friend Mina, whom I've known since I was a child. I heard my father would be here tomorrow night so I should enjoy the little freedom I have now. Mina was very tired that day when we got to the country house. I sneaked out to the family farm that was close by. I always wanted to sit on a wagon pulled by a cow. I finally got my chance...

"Hi mister!" Serena said happily as she popped her head into the doorway of the farm. She was a young 19 year old with long blonde silver hair, big blue eyes, a small nose and a beautiful smile.

"Why, hello pretty lady!" said Smith, the old farmer also with a smile. He had a ten gallon hat on wearing denim pants and a flannel. Smith's family worked in the farm for generations for the Thomas'. He waved to the adorable blonde.

"What can I do for you miss?"

"I know this is a weird request but I was wondering if I can sit on your wagon while it's drawn by your cow."

Serena looked down and blushed. She thought he would think she's crazy. He knew Serena's father would never let her do anything absurd and here she wants to be sitting on a wagon drawn by a cow. The old farmer might have seen or felt her discomfort and laughed heartily.

"Sure miss! I'm on my way to town and I wouldn't mind you sitting on the wagon. But are you sure your pappy will let?"

Serena looked up and her sad eyes gave away to her fake smile.

"It's alright then... Forget I ever asked."

Having a soft heart, Smith gave in.

"Aww miss. Alrights but this will be a secret only between us two." And he smiled and winked.

"Oh thank you Smith!"

Serena got so happy and started hugging Smith. The old farmer loved to see Serena's smiling face. Smith got the wagon ready with Daisy, his cow. Serena jumped on the back of the wagon and laid on the hay. She inhaled the soft smell and thought how life would be so carefree if her father was less strict. They turned a curve around the hill and Serena heard screams, laughter and yells.

She saw two guys looking at the ground and digging. Then they dug their hands in and grabbed a handful of dirt. Darien and his childhood friend Andrew grew up in this poor old country town. He was lucky enough to get into the elite school in the city for Young Men. Darien suddenly heard the wheels of a wagon against the rocky road. He looked up and saw Serena sitting at the back of the wagon at the hill road above. Andrew nudged Darien's elbow.

"Hey Darien. Nice looking eh?"

"Not bad, but look at her and look at us. She's dressed all fancy like and she's not even looking at us. Let's get back to looking for that beetle. Its not like I have my whole summer here you know."

The black hair boy looks really handsome thought Serena. She blushed and pretended she didn't notice them and looked away. At the time, she really didn't care what they were wearing or what they were doing as Darien had thought she would. For some reason, he left a strange feeling in her heart even though she saw him from a distance. It took someone special like him to catch the attention of her heart.

Smith got to the town in about twenty minutes. Serena walked around careful not to get dirty so her maids wouldn't wonder where she was before. After about half an hour walking, Serena felt tired and went back to the wagon. The warm sun setting on her face and the smell of the straw felt wonderful. Soon she fell asleep during the way back to the farm. Smith went inside the house and told the maids to carry Serena back into her room without any questions asked.

Inside Serena's mind was the image of the dark haired boy she saw.

... I didn't know if I'll ever see him again."
