So this fanfic is set in the first season, but I might change things a bit, like im gunna have them be in high school and college, not junior high, but it's basically gunna like all be the same except no sailor scouts yet. Luna can still talk but they won't be fighting queen beryl, and I will be using their English names because I just like them and because it will be easier for me. This story will probably mainly focus on the romance, and I don't know for sure how explicit it'll get so I might rate this as M just in case. It's in third person as you will read. Okay so in this version, when Queen Serenity sent them to the future to be reborn, lets say it worked, and all the bad guys were totally sealed away, and everyone was able to grow up and be happy.

"Serena, you're going to be late for school!" Serena heard her mother yelling at her and waddled out of bed. Glancing around her room, she suddenly realized what time it was and dashed into the bathroom to get ready.

The walk to school wasn't very far, but she had to pass her favorite place, the arcade, to get there. Stopping in front of the arcade, she peered in the windows and sighed, wishing she could go in, but knowing even if she did, her favorite person wouldn't be there. Andrew, the guy she's always had a wicked crush on, worked at the arcade, but being as smart as he was, he would be at school. School, she them re-remembered. Spinning around and attempting to dash off, Serena is abruptly halted by a tall dark figure that she immediately recognized as her enemy.

"When will you ever learn to watch where you're walking, Meatball Head?" Darien, Serena's least favorite guy in the world, mused.

"I told you, wise guy, my name is Serena! And I am running very late to school so if you'll just excuse me-" Serena tried to step around him but he stepped the same way and she almost ran into him a second time. Looking up at the man five years her senior, she frowned. He just smirked in response, a smirk that, she might find seductive had he not been the most obnoxious guy she'd ever met. Darien raised his sunglasses, revealing dark, ocean blue eyes.

"Aren't you going to be late too?" Serena asked, crossing her arms and tapping her foot impatiently.

Darien shook his head and pulled out his school ID, "Senior in college, my first class doesn't start till noon."

"Must be nice," Serena grumbled. Was he really a senior? She wondered.

"Can you please step aside, I really am going to be late."

"Need a ride, Meatball Head?"

Serena pondered this, why would someone like him be offering me anything? Let alone a ride in his car. No better way to find out than to say yes. Besides, if I'm late again I'll probably get detention.

"So long as you don't call me meatball head again, I suppose I'll allow you to give me a ride."

He smirked and lowered his glasses back down, his black hair just barely touching the rim of his glasses. Serena flipped her own hair over her shoulder and followed Darien across the street to his car. It was a very nice red sports car which she suddenly realized she had never seen before. Momentarily forgetting that they were enemies, Serena became her normal, excited self.

"Wow this is really your car? It's beautiful!" In her excitement, Serena tripped over her own feet and almost hit the car face-first.

"Be careful klutz! Don't scratch my baby; If you do I'll-"

"As if," she groaned.

"Just get in," he demanded.

She did so, not because he wanted her to, but because she still had to worry about her grades…and not getting detention. Oh how her mom would freak out if she found out.

"Please just hurry," She pleaded.

"Well since you said please," Darien revved the engine and sped off.

Surprisingly enough, the ride wasn't as awkward as the two had imagined. With light music playing in the background it was actually almost, soothing. As long as they weren't fighting it seemed kind of…nice. Darien thought this too but would never admit it of course.

"Ah, Darien," Serena mumbled with a strange accent that sounded like a mix of American and some other-wordly accent, something no one on earth but her had. To Darien, hearing her say his name in that way made him shutter, and why he hadn't a clue, but it wasn't in a negative way, and that scared him more than anything.

"Where uh, where did you get this car?" she continued.

Normally Darien would've just shrugged, and he did then at first, but then he turned to Serena.

"My parents," was all he said.

Serena was about to push further, but something told her it wasn't her place to ask, so she looked down at her hands and nervously picked at her fingernails. Upon arrival of her high school, Serena jumped out of the car, said a quick thank you to her (apparently) frenemy and ran inside. Darien shook his head at the silliness and clumsiness of the girl that had just exited his car. She wasn't very graceful, and she was extremely annoying, but she was pretty adorable. Taking a deep breath, Darien realized that her sent had lingered behind, it was very sweet, vanilla-y smell. Something like fresh cupcakes. A small part of him wanted to always be around such a lovely sent.

"Darien, stop," he told himself, "she's in high school, and also, she hates you. No wait, you hate her, yeah." Darien mumbled to himself, trying to think straight, but there was just something… familiar about her. And he didn't mean the countless times they always seemed to bump into each other.

A few days later Serena and her little black cat Luna were walking to the park to meet up with some friends, and again, they saw Darien.

"Following me, Creep?" Serena asked.

Even though the man was wearing his sunglasses, as usual, Serena could almost see his eyes roll to the biggest extent.

Luna meowed and pawed and Serena's foot so she would pick her up and she could get a better view. Darien was very tall, and Serena was the shortest in her group of friends, but For Luna, it was hard to see so close to the ground. Darien rubbed Luna's ears and she purred for a second, only to remember that she shouldn't enjoy a pet from his hand. He was never really a big animal person, but Luna was all right, seemed pretty calm and in control.

"I just wanted to see my favorite person in the world," he said sarcastically.

This time it was Serena's turn to roll her eyes, "the sun is setting; do you really always need to wear those glasses?"

Darien turned to the side to show off his profile and slowly removed his glasses, almost as if posing, then put the glasses in his pocket. Turning back to Serena, his dark blue eyes pierced into her light blue eyes, and she immediately got goosebumps.

Ew, she thought. Why is this creepazoid giving me goosebumps? So what if he's handsome? Still has an ugly personality if I've ever seen one.

"For your information," she exclaimed, "Luna and I were just about to get some ice cream and then meet the girls at the park."

"What a coincidence, I too was about to get some ice cream."

Serena was unsure how to react and just stepped in line with Darien at the concession. And for whatever reason, they both sat down on a bench nearby together, with their ice cream and hatred.

"Why do you think we always run into each other?"

Darien shrugged, taking a mouthful of ice cream. He wondered the same thing, but didn't want to question it too much, because as much as he loved to tease her, their frequent run ins were becoming expectant to him. And if they stopped he wondered just how boring his life may be without the little meatball head.

"I know what you're thinking," Serena exclaimed. She had noticed Darien starring at her, specifically her head, "you're thinking about calling me meatball head but let me just warn you, if would not be a very good idea."

"And whys that?"

"Because. The girls and I have taken several self-defense classes and I could kick your ass any day."

"Doubtful," he chuckled, surprised she actually knew what he was thinking.

"Suit yourself, go ahead; see what happens."

Darien patted the top of Serena's head, just between the buns that he likes to make so much fun of. Her hair was so long that she not only could put it in two buns, but leave some hanging down from each bun, and the part hanging down still went down to around her knees. Darien then proceeded to finish his ice cream without a word.

"That's what I thought," Serena said, crossing her arms. She had practically swallowed her ice cream whole.

Luna meowed and pawed at Serena with a look that told her they needed to go. Serena nodded in response then turned to Darien.

"It was so great to see you again, Darien," she said sarcastically, his name sounding like a bell to him coming from her, "but I gotta jet."

Darien said nothing, just put on his sunglasses and opened a book.

The girls were excited to see Serena when she finally arrived.

"What took you so long?" Rei asked.

"Sorry I got stopped."

"Oh by Mr. handsome? Why didn't you bring him over here?" she wondered, looking around. Rei was gorgeous, they all were of course. Long black hair and brown eyes, she was a shrine maiden that had the power of the senses.

Amy was next to speak, asking Serena if she had finished her homework, and of course she hadn't. Amy was the second shortest of the group, only an inch taller than Serena, with short blue hair and eyes to match. She was the smartest of the group, studying to be a doctor, and was top of the class.

Then there was Leita, whom was the tallest, so tall she couldn't fit into her school uniform for her new school, so they had to let her wear her old one. She had medium length brown hair that was always kept in a ponytail. Leita was always ready for a fight, and no one dared bother her.

And lastly there is Mina, She was the most common girl of the group, but also secretly the most amazing, she was very talented, and they all knew that one day she would be famous. She had long blonde hair a bit darker than Serena's, but she wore hers down with a red bow tied in the back. They could probably pass for sisters if they wanted to. Even their personalities were very similar. Although Mina wasn't a klutz like Serena.

Luna, since away from Darien, jumped onto Serena's shoulder, free to talk. She was a bossy little cat, but it was only because she cared. "So girls I was thinking you should take another self-defense class."

"Oh Luna," the girls sighed. "We've already taken like ten classes, haven't we learned enough?"

"You can never learn too much when it comes to defending yourself."

"It's not like we have anyone around here to defend against."

"You never know."

Mina shook her head in disbelief, "let's go to the arcade!"

"Yeah!" Serena jumped with joy, taking her friend's arm in hers and leading the way.

Upon arrival to the arcade, Serena saw her crush Andrew. He was tall like Darien, but had light hair and green eyes. She ran up to him only to realize that her enemy was right there.

Her happy smile turned into a frown and she immediately started bickering with the man.

"Hey meatball head," he smirked.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that! And how did you know that I was going to be here?"

"It just so happens that Andrew here is my best friend. I came to see him."

"Mhm," she hummed, crossing her arms.

"It's true," Andrew said, "Serena, would you like a shake? On me?"

Serena huffed and sat down next to Darien, nodding.

The girls had already started playing games without her but didn't mind, they knew she was in love with Andrew and they weren't going to ruin her chances by bothering them.

"Look at her," Rei said; always having to pick on her even though they were best friends, "she's falling all over herself. What a klutz."

She made sure not to say this too loudly, as she didn't want to disrupt Serena arguing with Darien, the guy that Rei had a crush on. And you would think that they would be perfect together, both had black hair, and both loved picking on Serena, but even so, something didn't feel right when she thought about herself with him.

"They're like an old married couple," Leita laughed.

"She should really focus less on boys and more on studying." Amy stated. The three girls just frowned at her then got back to gossiping.

A few minutes later they hear a loud grunt coming from Serena, "I have had it with you!" she yelled, getting up from her place next to Darien, "you can't just let me be, can you?"

"What's the fun in that?" he replied. She started to walk out of the arcade, but then Darien realized he might have taken it one step too far, and followed her to apologize. The girls watched as the two left the arcade together and started walking down the street.

"Serena," Darien said, grabbing her hand so that she would stop walking. She pulled away from him, but she had to admit, his hand felt kind good around hers, but he didn't deserve to touch her hand.

"Please, I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean it like that."

"Well what are you going to do to make it up to me? It was very hurtful."

"Anything, I'm sorry, how would you like me to make it up to you?"

Hm, she kinda liked him begging like that. For once he didn't seem so heartless.

"Tell me a secret."

"What?"

"To make it up to me, tell me something no one knows about you." Shouldn't be that hard, Serena thought, he never tells anyone anything. He's always so cold and distant, like he's…been hurt.

"If that's what it takes, let's go sit down and talk this out like civilized people."
