Hi everyone!
This is my first time writing so I would like to see your opinions about it.
I really don't like to use the japanese names, but there is none for Seiya so I will be using his japanese name.
I will also be using the japanese names for Uranus (Haruka), Neptune (Michiru), Saturn (Hotaru: which is her dub name too), and Pluto (Setsuna). I don't like the names Cloverway gave them. I wish DiC would redub them. The Starlights are guys.
Disclaimer: I do not own any characters of Sailor Moon, they belong to Naoko. However, this fanfic is mine.
I would like to get your opinions because i love mail so please send all email to PinkeePrincess@hotmail.com
Thanks a lot!
Ps. the setting is the present after they defeat Galaxia.

Seiya's Gets a Chance
The Starlights had returned permanently. Seiya, especially, was looking forward to seeing Serena. He hoped that they would have a chance to be together. They arrived on Earth after finding that their new planet was too different. He could only hope...
Serena and Darien had just finished a walk in the park. Seiya had entered just in time to see them walking together side by side up ahead. He happily called out.
"Serena!"
Turning around, Serena's face broke into a grin as she called ran towards him. Unfortunately, she dragged Darien with her by the hand and did not let go even after she reached Seiya. Seiya frowned and tried to act cheerful. He thought she would ditch Darien, but his dreams would not come true (plus he saw the engagement ring on her finger). After the formalities and a brief conversation explaning why he was back, they split up: Serena and Darien to go home, and Seiya to clear out his thoughts.
Walking in the park was helpful, until he saw Setsuna sitting on a bench, obviously reading a novel. He carefully approached her.
"Hey Setsuna?"
Setsuna looked up. "Oh, good afternoon Seiya. I didn't know that you guys would be back. Is this permanent?"
"Yeah..." he suddenly had a great idea. "Do you know about alternate realities?"
"Of course, I'm the guardian of time. And I know what you want."
"You do?"
"You want me to show you what could have been if Darien wasn't in the picture?"
"If only I met her first, then I know we would be together!"
'How wrong you are,' Setsuna thought. "I'll tell you what. I'll send you to a different timestream. In this one, you and Serena are together and engaged. Darien will not be in Japan."
Seiya grinned. "Why are you doing this for me?"
Pluto smiled back. "I'd like to think that not only Sailor Venus knows all about love."
Seiya nodded. "When will all this happen?"
"Tommorow, when you wake up, you will be in another reality. But be careful. Don't get too attached. It isn't real. You are going to return in two weeks."
Contemplating this, Seiya decided, 'If I could just come back and show Serena that I'm the one, we could be together.' He decided to take the chance. "I'll do it."
Setsuna smiled mysteriously. "Good. Then I shall see you in two weeks. Goodbye."
And with a gust of wind, she was gone.
The next morning, Seiya awoke to find the smell of cookies in the kitchen. He groggily walked outside to find Serena baking with Taiki. Shocked he asked, "Serena, what are you doing here?"
She looked up with the affectionate blue eyes that Seiya always dreamed of. Finally, they were for him and not Darien. "Can't a fiance come and make snacks whenever she wants?"
"Of course!" Seiya was excited. Two whole weeks of heaven.
Serena laugh was like music to his ears. "I'm going to the supermarket in a bit for your groceries. When I'm back you better be ready for that rowboat ride you promised me!"
"Can't wait." Seiya couldn't have been happier. He helped Serena out the door to the elevator. Then he went inside. Shouting his heart out, he prepared for a wonderful day.
At the market, Serena was busy picking out milk. 'What to buy...What to buy...How could there be so many different brands of milk?!?!' Serena silently groaned to herself. "THIS IS SO HARD!"
"What's your problem meatballhead?" called out an annoying yet familiar voice in back of her. Serena froze and slowly turned around.
"Darien?..."
Sapphire blue eyes looked down and he nodded at her. "Long time no see..."
Serena wasn't about to be drawn back into the same arguments they used to have. "Well Darien, you've changed. America suits you." And she tried to walk away as fast as she could.
Surprised, Darien asked her, "What, no insult? Is this the same meatballhead I used to know?"
"I grew up. You should too." She said irritably.
"Ok...truce then. We are both smart levelheaded adults. No need for childish antics then." He held out his hand, which Serena gladly took. "So what have you been up to since I've been gone?"
"Well I--" started Serena before she was rudely cut off by an elderly lady shouting for them to move out of the aisle.
Darien grinned. "Lets catch up at a more convenient place, the arcade's across the street, I'd like to see something familiar for memories."
"Great idea! I haven't been there forever. Oh! And you can buy me a chocolate shake!"
Laughing, Darien thought, 'some things don't change..'. And together, they walked side by side into the arcade. The groceries and Seiya were forgotten.
Seiya walked down the street in Juuban. He wondered where Serena had gone. When she hadn't returned right away, he began to get worried. 'She probably met up with her friends and forgot the groceries to go for a milkshake,' he thought smiling, 'she is cutely ditzy sometimes…' but then he frowned, 'she wouldn't forget if it was for Darien…'With that, Seiya pushed the thought out of his head and decided to surprise her at the supermarket.
He briskly walked down the street contemplating how he would spend the next few days. As he got closer and closer to the arcade, he noticed a figure with meatballs in the window. 'Must be Serena and one her friends,' he thought. However, as he got closer, he noticed that it was not a girl, but a guy that definitely did not resemble Andrew. Jealousy surged through him as he burst into the arcade, ready to beat up that guy.
"HI SEIYA!!" chirped Serena after she saw him.
To his dismay, the guy was none other than Darien. 'Was it all a dream? Did I just wake up now? Have I been transported back to the other reality?' all those questions surged through his head. He felt cheated, as if Setsuna purposely tricked him.
"Are you alright?" Serena asked, clearly concerned at frozen state Seiya was in. "Come over here, there's someone I want you to meet."
Confused, Seiya walked to the booth, hesitant of where he should sit, in case he actually was transported back to reality. He opted for standing.
"This is Darien, an old friend." Serena told him. "And Darien, this is Seiya. My fiance. We're getting married."
"Congratulations meatballhead. You too Seiya."
Seiya suddenly felt a rush of relief. 'I'm still in my dream reality after-all,' he thought. But all of a sudden the anger returned. 'What is he doing here? Setsuna said that she wouldn't see him…What if she falls in love with him again?'
"Earth to Seiya…" called Serena. "Don't worry Darien, he zones out sometimes."
At hearing Serena say talk to Darien, Seiya was jolted back to reality. 'All the better then, he thought, I can prove once and for all that Serena and I are mean to be together if I met her first!'
"Sorry Serena, just thinking about our wedding…" Seiya replied, smirking at his chance to mention it. "When is it again?"
"In exactly two and a half weeks remember? You said it was the best time to get married." Serena reminded. Then, a thought sprang to her head. "Darien, why don't you come? I would love to have you there."
'NO!' Seiya thought, 'I'm getting sent back in two weeks! I won't be here to be married.'
However, Darien's reply brought more worries to his head. "Of course Serena, I wouldn't miss it for the world. In fact, I'll even help you prepare. I'll be like an honorary maid of honor for you." At that both he and Serena laughed at the statement.
"Darien, you're so silly…" Serena began, but was interrupted by Seiya's groan.
"Sorry Serena, but I forgot, its not two and a half weeks, it's exactly next week…"
Serena's eyes widened. "Next Week? I'm not ready, I haven't prepared or anything. Raye and Ami haven't returned from their trip to Africa, and Mina's plane ticket is scheduled to arrive in three days, which means that she'll only have two days to get ready. Besides, Lita and Molly haven't even begun the last minute preparations. We won't make it."
"Yes we will." Darien calmly stated. Both Seiya and Serena turned to look at him. "It just means that you and me will have to do everything for them. Starting now! Nice to meet you Seiya!" And with that he grabbed Serena's wrist and dragged her out of the arcade.
Serena managed to call out "see you tonight!" before Darien whisked her away to his red sports car.
Seiya slowly got up and began to walk home. He had to think up a plan to keep Serena.
