PART ONE OF: Moonlight Romance
"Time For Change" "You're the biggest jerk, ever! You're a big arrogant, chauvinistic, conceited, egotistical, big-headed, self-centered-"
"Gee, meatball head, I didn't know you knew such BIG words."
"Ugh! You're impossible, you know that?!" Serena screamed in frustration. Just another usual argument with Darien. "I am so outta here!" with that Serena stomped out of the arcade leaving Darien to watch her go.
Andrew shook his head. "Geez, Darien. You sure know how to charm a girl," he said sarcastically.
"I can't help it, my mind just goes blank and I say the first thing that comes to my head. She has that affect on me," Darien sighed. He drank some coffee.
Andrew just shook his head again. 'Poor Darien. He's really got it bad for Serena,' he thought.
Darien got up, " I think I'm gonna go now. See ya, man." He walked out the door.
* * *
When Darien got to his apartment, it was still light outside. He looked at his watch. It was only 5:30. He went to take a shower, then ate some dinner. He sighed. His life was so.so dull. Everything about it was dull, even his apartment seemed as though no one was living in it. He needed something, or someone to brighten it up. 'I need Serena', he thought sadly. He finally decided to go to the park for a while. 'Maybe she's gonna be there, if she's not then I'll just clear my head for a while.'
* * *
Serena was walking through the park. It was so peaceful. Usually there were loads of people there, but today the park seemed as though it was vacant. Serena sat down on the bench that was next to her. She looked at the calm lake. 'This is so perfect', she thought. She closed her eyes. A small smiled played on her lips. Serena breathed in the clean air. It smelled crisp and fresh. She relaxed and stretched a little as she sat there happily. She gently dozed off after a while.
* * *
As Darien strolled through the park he took in the scent of the flowers and watched the few people that were there. He watched two little kids messing around with each other, as the parents looked on and hoped that none of them would get hurt. Darien felt his body tense up. He tried to think of something else when his eyes fell on a sleeping figure on a bench.
It was Serena. Her golden hair was wrapped around her like a halo. Darien's hands itched to caress the silky mass of hair. Her lips were carved into a smiled. Darien just stared at her for a couple of minutes. Then he frowned. 'It's getting late,' he thought, so he decided to try to wake her. He said her name a couple of times, then he shook her gently.
"Come on, Meatball head. Wake up," he said.
She woke with a start. "Don't call me Meatball head!" she yelled at him.
"So, you finally decided to wake up, huh?" Darien asked amusingly.
"I was having a good dream! You just had to wake me up, didn't you? Always messing things up!" Serena grumbled.
"Well, sorry! I was trying to help. You know, helping you wake up so your mom won't get mad at you for staying out late. I didn't know that you wanted to get in trouble, meatball head," Darien spat back.
Serena was speechless.
"Serena, I'm sorry I yelled. I didn't mean to," Darien said apologetically.
"You're actually apologizing for something? Oh my god! Darien what happened? Are you okay? Do you feel sick? Did you hit your hea-"
Darien cut her off. "Serena, there is nothing wrong with me, I'm fine."
Serena put her hand to his forehead. Darien felt a electric shock go through his whole body. "Nope, you don't have a temperature. Are you sure you're okay?"
"Are you actually concerned about me, meatball head?" Darien asked her teasingly.
"I uh-I was umm.I'm just not used to you being nice."
"Well, I won't be nice then," Darien told her.
"No! I mean, I kinda like it when you're nice," Serena said quickly.
Just then, there was a big explosion. Serena and Darien tried to find out where it had come from. 'Oh no! Down town Tokyo!' Serena thought worriedly. "Umm-I have to go. Bye Darien!" Serena shouted as she ran off to transform.
"Serena! Wait! Isn't your house in the OTHER direction?" Darien asked suspiciously.
"Well I-hey! How would YOU know where I live?" Serena stopped and turned around.
Beep! Beep!
"What was that?" Darien asked.
"Nothing, just my beeper," Serena quickly covered.
"Serena! Serena come in!" said a voice from her pocket, "Sailor Moon! Hurry up will ya?" came the pissed voice of Sailor Mars. "Serena, we need your help."
Something in Darien's head connected and he realized that the voice belonged to Rei. His eye widened, "Oh my god!" he whispered.
Darien made a grab for her "beeper". Serena jumped out of the way. Darien lunged at Serena again. This time he caught her arm, she squirmed around a little trying to get out of his strong grip. Darien pulled her close so he could get the communicator out of her pocket.
"Serena! Oh! Umm.hi.uhh.Darien," Sailor Mars was surprised to see Darien instead of Serena. 'How did he find it?' She thought. 'Is Serena okay?' "Umm.why do YOU have the communicator?"
Darien just stared at the communicator. 'I can't believe that Serena is Sailor Moon.' As he thought about it though, it seemed to make sense, in a weird, twisted way.
"Darien, could ya let me go now?" Serena asked. He looked at her. He didn't say anything, just looked at her. "Darien, we can talk after I go fight the evil monster thing, okay?"
Darien nodded slightly. Serena pulled out her brooch and yelled, "MOON COSMIC POWER!" Immediately a bright light erupted and wrapped itself around Serena. Then ribbons appeared and wrapped around her body. Darien closed his eyes; the light was getting too bright for him. He got a small headache from Serena's transformation.
After a while the light faded away. Darien opened his eyes again. In front of him stood Sailor Moon. She looked at him and then turned to go.
"Wait!" He called out to her. She stopped and turned back around. He did his transformation thingy.
She gasped slightly. "Y-you're Tuxedo Mask?" She asked shakily. She couldn't believe that the conceited jerk, who teased her every day was Tuxedo Mask, the hottest guy that Serena had ever seen!
He nodded, "Let's go help your friends."
"Umm-hmm!" She agreed.
* * *
At the scene Mercury was blasting her bubbles, while Mars was doing her 'Celestial Fire' thing. Both of their attacks had little effect on the monster. It trapped their powers and blasted them back at the scouts.
"Ha! You think you can beat me with those measly attacks?" the monster chuckled.
"Watch out!" Sailor Venus yelled to Sailor Moon.
Some of Mars' fire came at her. Moon stared at the fire that was speeding towards her. Tuxedo Mask grabbed Sailor Moon and jumped out of the way. Just in time! There was a huge ash stain left where the fire had landed. Sailor Moon gulped. Tux sent a berage of roses towards the monster. It turned and faced him.
"VENUS CRESCENT BEAM SMASH!"-"JUPITER THUNDER CLAP!" Sailor Venus and Jupiter chose that moment to send in their attacks. The monster was unprepared for the attacks, and was fatally weakened.
"Sailor Moon! Use your scepter already will ya?" Sailor Mars yelled at her.
"I'm getting there!" Moon yelled back. "MOON SCEPTER ELIMINATION!"
"Ahhh!" The monster screamed as it was blasted.
"Moon Dusted!" Sailor Moon cried happily. She turned and looked at the other scouts. They were exhausted from the fight. Just then, he noticed Tuxedo Mask. "Well.better be getting' home. See ya!" She tried to make a run for it.
"Not so fast!" Tux said. "What about our little talk? Hmmm?"
"Right.I knew that.okay." Serena detransformed.
"Why did you do that for, Serena?" Sailor Jupiter asked worriedly.
"Yeah, what gives?" Venus asked.
"Uh guys? He knows." Serena trailed off.
"Knows what?" Sailor Jupiter frowned.
"About me-about me being Sailor Moon . . ."
"Oh." Jupiter answered.
"Do you want us to power down too?" Sailor Mercury asked.
"If you want to," Serena replied. So the girls powered down. In Mercury's place stood Amy, in Mars' stood Rei, in Venus' stood Mina, and in Jupiter's stood Lita. 'How could I have not known? I can't believe-' his thoughts were cut short by a scream. 'Serena!'
Serena was in the clutches of a big, horribly ugly monster. It looked like an OLD LADY. With four arms, three eyes, and way too many teeth for her age. She had a steel handbag and a bronze cane.
"Why the hell is an old lady attacking Serena for?" Lita asked.
"I don't think that it's a lady, Lita, more like a energy sucking monster thing," Rei mumbled.
"Yeah, well its got Serena and we have to help her," Amy panicked.
Tuxedo Mask threw some roses at the monster. The girls had to retransform. Serena screamed again.
"SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Serena started to cry. The monster started to suck up Serena's energy. Her head drooped. "I feel so weak, guys," Serena said in a low voice.
"No Serena!" Tuxedo Mask exclaimed.
"Stay away, cape boy!" the monster snarled. It screeched. The scouts and Tux held their ears. "That was my Super Sonic Wave! You'll never get through it." It laughed evilly. It had sucked up all of Serena's energy and through her onto the ground. Then Alan appeared. He played his flute and Serena slowly sat up, as if she were in some kind of a trance. The monster howled again but Serena and Alan didn't seem to be affected by it at all. However, the scouts and Tux had to once again cover their ears.
Tuxedo Mask sent a couple of steel-tipped roses towards the monster. Mercury tried to run towards Serena, but the monster jumped in between them. It sent another one of its howls towards her. Mercury was blasted away. She didn't get up.
"Oh no! AMY!" Venus cried. "You'll pay for that. VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE!"
"MARS FIRE SURROUND!"
"JUPITER THUNDER CLAP!"
Tux sent more steel-tipped roses. With their attacks combined, they destroyed the monster.
"Curse you Sailor Brats for all eternity!" were the monster's dying words.
* * *
Alan played his flute. He had hypnotized Serena. 'Ha! When the time is right, beautiful, you will help us gather all the energy we need.'
"Serena, you will not remember anything about the Sailor Scouts, or Sailor Moon, or your Tuxedo Mask or anything, or anyone that has to do with them when you wake up. When I play this tune on my flute again, you will become my slave. You will do only what I say and NO one else. You will help Ann and I gather energy for the doom tree. Understand?"
Serena nodded. "Good girl," Alan chuckled to himself. He disappeared without a trace and Serena passed out.
The scouts detransformed, AGAIN. Mina and Lita rushed over to Amy, while Tuxedo Mask and Rei rushed to Serena. None of them had seemed to noticed that Alan had been there. Amy had woken up fine, but Serena was still out of it.
"Serena! Serena please wake up! Please!" Rei held Serena. Tuxedo Mask had change back to Darien.
"Oh my god," Mina whispered, wide eyed.
"But.I can't believe it," Lita gasped.
Rei was speechless. "So you're Tuxedo Mask, huh?" Amy asked.
Just then, Serena cried out in pain. "No! I have to fight this!" Serena flung herself into Darien's arms and wept. Darien was knocked over and Serena had landed on top of him. Serena's eyes snapped open. "Ohmigosh! I'm so sorry!" Serena apologized. She got off Darien. "Umm.do you happen to know what time it is?"
"Uhh.7:00," said a confused Darien.
"Whaaa?! 7:00? My mom is gonna be so mad!" with that she left in the direction of her house.
"What just happened?" Darien asked.
"Yeah, that was majorly freaky!" Mina chimed in.
"I have no clue whatsoever," Amy replied.
"Come on guys, we'll worry about it tomorrow. We should get home now," Rei suggested.
"You're right, Rei," Lita agreed.
* * *
'What's wrong with Serena?' Darien pondered. He stood on his balcony. 'She acted like she didn't know me.' Something was definitely wrong. 'Maybe when the monster threw her, she hit her head or something,' he thought. His eyelids were beginning to droop. 'I really should get some sleep.' He was exhausted from the battle. 'Rei's right, I'll worry about it tomorrow.' In the back of his mind, he seriously hoped that there was nothing wrong with his gorgeous meatball head.
He tiredly changed into shorts and a T-shirt, and promptly fell asleep. He had dreams about Serena all night.
* * *
"Serena, your gonna be late for the scout meeting," someone told her.
"Oh my gosh! I'm gonna be late!" Serena wailed as she hopped out of bed. She really needed to set her alarm. "Why doesn't anyone ever wake me?"
"Believe me, Serena, they try," came a voice.
"Wait, what scout meeting? Huh? Who said that?" Serena asked, a little freaked out.
"Oh, honestly, Serena. Down here. I'm Luna remember?" Serena looked down to see her cat.
"Lu-Luna? You-you can talk?" Serena asked, REALLY freaked out now.
"Yes Serena, I could always talk," Serena received a strange look from Luna.
"Mom, Dad, Sammy! Luna can talk!" Serena scooped up Luna and ran to her mom and dad.
"Serena! What are you doing?!" Luna yelled at her.
"I'm showing you to my mom and dad. Wow! I have a talking cat. This is so cool!" Serena said happily, "I always thought that you could understand me." She found her mom. "Mom!"
Luna chose that moment to scratch Serena. Serena yelped and let Luna go, and ran off. She jumped out the window onto the tree and ran off.
"Yes Serena?" Ilene Tsukino asked her daughter.
"Umm.never mind, I.uhh forgot what I wanted to ask you," Serena covered up.
"Okay then sweetie," her mom said.
"I'm gonna go to the arcade, okay? Bye mom!" Serena snagged a piece of toast and ran out the door.
"That girl practically lives on the streets," Ilene muttered to herself.
* * *
Serena walked down the street, deep in thought. 'I can't believe Luna talks! Maybe I just imagined that. Yes, I imagined that,' Serena convinced herself. She looked up just as she collided into someone.
"Oof!" Serena landed on something warm and soft. She opened her eyes. It was a guy. He had ebony hair, and beautiful sapphire blues eyes. 'WOW! He's gorgeous!' She thought. He sat up, rubbing his head. She sat in his lap. Serena quickly got up.
"I am so sorry. I should have watched where I was going. Are you okay?" she said in a rush.
The guy shot her a strange look, "It's okay meatball head. Chill out."
"Okay-hey! Don't call me meatball head!" Serena yelled at him.
"Are you on the way to the arcade?" he asked.
"Yeah, how'd you know?" Serena questioned.
"Well, you always go to the arcade around this time," he shrugged.
"Do I know you?" Serena asked trying to remember if she had met him before.
"Yeah," the guy said slowly. He seemed a little confused.
"Well, I guess I'll umm.see you.uhh later," she stammered.
"Well actually, I'm heading there myself," he replied, so they walked to the arcade together.
* * *
"Where is that meatball brain? She is so gonna get it! She makes me so mad!" Rei yelled to one in particular.
"Yeah, this way late. Even for Serena," Mina put in.
"I agree. Serena is never this late, I think something might have happened to her," Amy said worriedly.
"Guys, I think that we should look for her-" Lita was cut off. "Sailor Scouts! Something is very wrong!"
"Luna!" the girls cried in unison, "What is it?"
"It's Serena. She was acting very strange this morning," Luna began. "She seemed as though she didn't know that I could talk. She tried to show me to her mom. I'm very worried that there is something wrong with our leader."
"Luna, there is always something wrong with her," Rei commented.
"Well, she's weirder that usual, then," Luna replied.
"Maybe it had to do with the monster yesterday. She lost some of her energy. Maybe that's the reason. She'll probably come to pretty soon. We should try to find her, though," said Amy, the sensible one.
"Fine, but we better not have to waste the whole day trying to find stupid meatball head!" said Rei grumpily.
"Don't worry, Rei. I bet you, I know where exactly she is," Mina said.
"And where is that?" Rei questioned.
"At the arcade, where else?" Mina replied knowingly.
"Of course," Lita said.
"Ah, yes. The arcade," Amy sighed.
* * *
"Hey Darien! Hey Serena!" Andrew called out.
'Hmm.so that's his name' Serena looked up at the guy standing beside her. 'It fits him' Serena smiled.
Darien looked down to see Serena smile at him. His stomach did a double take. 'Maybe she likes me,' Darien thought happily.
"Hi Andrew," they said at the same time. Serena giggled.
"Well, nice to see you two have met," Andrew commented. "Yeah, we bumped into each other on the street. Literally," Serena informed him.
Andrew gave her a big smile, while Darien gave them both a funny look. 'What's with the funny looks, today? Every body's been giving me them.' Serena noted to herself. She had a weird feeling, as if Darien knew a secret and wasn't gonna let her in on it. 'Oh well, I'm probably just paranoid.' She shook off the feeling, thinking that it was just nothing.
"What do you mean 'we just met'?" He inquired.
"Yeah, a little ways down on the street. You were there, REMEMBER? We ran into each other, like a couple of seconds ago! And I thought I had a short-term memory!" she told him.
"But we've known each other for years!" Darien cried.
"Uh . . ." Andrew shook his head. "Are you okay, Darien?"
"Of course I'm okay! Serena! What's wrong with you?!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME'??? YOU'RE THE ONE WHO THINKS YOU KNOW ME," Serena shot back.
"MEATBALL HEAD!" came a VERY angry voice.
"Are you talking to me?" Serena turned around. There was a girl standing behind her. She had black hair, just like Darien's, and stormy, violet eyes. Her face was a little red, Serena guessed that it was from anger.
"Duh, who else would I be talking to? The wall?" said the girl sarcastically.
"Umm.what did I do?" Serena asked, confused.
"It's what you DIDN'T do that makes me mad! You DIDN'T come to the meeting!" the girl yelled.
"What meeting? I was never told about any meeting! And who are you? I don't think you should be yelling at someone you don't even KNOW!" Serena yelled back. This girl was really getting on her nerves. "I don't know what you're yelling at me for but, you should STOP! I don't even know you're name!"
"Are you kidding me, Meatball Head? Where have you been, the moon? I'm Rei, remember? I can't believe this! Out of all the things. Trying to forget me? You are such a ditz, Sere-" a blue-haired girl cut Rei off.
"Serena, don't you remember us?" she asked.
"No, should I know you?" Serena asked. 'What are they talking about? How does she know my name?'
"Well, er.yes," the girl replied.
"Wait! Oh, Amy! You're the girl in my language class, right? Oh and you're Lita," Serena said, pointing to the tall brunette, "I remember you two," Serena thought harder to see if she could remember the other two girls.
"Remember me? Mina?" asked the blonde-haired girl.
"Mina? I don't really remember, although you remind me of Sailor V for some reason," Serena looked at every girl. Rei was looking at her with a shocked expression on her face. Serena turned to look at Darien. He was just staring at her. Andrew was the only one who didn't stare at her. Instead, he stared a Darien and the others. "Umm-I'm gonna go-I'm just gonna go," Serena ran out of the arcade.

PART ONE OF: Moonlight Romance
"Time For Change" "You're the biggest jerk, ever! You're a big arrogant, chauvinistic, conceited, egotistical, big-headed, self-centered-"

"I don't think that it's a lady, Lita, more like a energy sucking monster thing," Rei mumbled.
"Yeah, well its got Serena and we have to help her," Amy panicked.
Tuxedo Mask threw some roses at the monster. The girls had to retransform. Serena screamed again.
"SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Serena started to cry. The monster started to suck up Serena's energy. Her head drooped. "I feel so weak, guys," Serena said in a low voice.
"No Serena!" Tuxedo Mask exclaimed.
"Stay away, cape boy!" the monster snarled. It screeched. The scouts and Tux held their ears. "That was my Super Sonic Wave! You'll never get through it." It laughed evilly. It had sucked up all of Serena's energy and through her onto the ground. Then Alan appeared. He played his flute and Serena slowly sat up, as if she were in some kind of a trance. The monster howled again but Serena and Alan didn't seem to be affected by it at all. However, the scouts and Tux had to once again cover their ears.
Tuxedo Mask sent a couple of steel-tipped roses towards the monster. Mercury tried to run towards Serena, but the monster jumped in between them. It sent another one of its howls towards her. Mercury was blasted away. She didn't get up.
"Oh no! AMY!" Venus cried. "You'll pay for that. VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE!"
"MARS FIRE SURROUND!"
"JUPITER THUNDER CLAP!"
Tux sent more steel-tipped roses. With their attacks combined, they destroyed the monster.
"Curse you Sailor Brats for all eternity!" were the monster's dying words.

Alan played his flute. He had hypnotized Serena. 'Ha! When the time is right, beautiful, you will help us gather all the energy we need.'
"Serena, you will not remember anything about the Sailor Scouts, or Sailor Moon, or your Tuxedo Mask or anything, or anyone that has to do with them when you wake up. When I play this tune on my flute again, you will become my slave. You will do only what I say and NO one else. You will help Ann and I gather energy for the doom tree. Understand?"
Serena nodded. "Good girl," Alan chuckled to himself. He disappeared without a trace and Serena passed out.
The scouts detransformed, AGAIN. Mina and Lita rushed over to Amy, while Tuxedo Mask and Rei rushed to Serena. None of them had seemed to noticed that Alan had been there. Amy had woken up fine, but Serena was still out of it.
"Serena! Serena please wake up! Please!" Rei held Serena. Tuxedo Mask had change back to Darien.
"Oh my god," Mina whispered, wide eyed.
"But.I can't believe it," Lita gasped.
Rei was speechless. "So you're Tuxedo Mask, huh?" Amy asked.
Just then, Serena cried out in pain. "No! I have to fight this!" Serena flung herself into Darien's arms and wept. Darien was knocked over and Serena had landed on top of him. Serena's eyes snapped open. "Ohmigosh! I'm so sorry!" Serena apologized. She got off Darien. "Umm.do you happen to know what time it is?"
"Uhh.7:00," said a confused Darien.
"Whaaa?! 7:00? My mom is gonna be so mad!" with that she left in the direction of her house.
"What just happened?" Darien asked.
"Yeah, that was majorly freaky!" Mina chimed in.
"I have no clue whatsoever," Amy replied.
"Come on guys, we'll worry about it tomorrow. We should get home now," Rei suggested.
"You're right, Rei," Lita agreed.
* * *
'What's wrong with Serena?' Darien pondered. He stood on his balcony. 'She acted like she didn't know me.' Something was definitely wrong. 'Maybe when the monster threw her, she hit her head or something,' he thought. His eyelids were beginning to droop. 'I really should get some sleep.' He was exhausted from the battle. 'Rei's right, I'll worry about it tomorrow.' In the back of his mind, he seriously hoped that there was nothing wrong with his gorgeous meatball head.
He tiredly changed into shorts and a T-shirt, and promptly fell asleep. He had dreams about Serena all night.
* * *
"Serena, your gonna be late for the scout meeting," someone told her.
"Oh my gosh! I'm gonna be late!" Serena wailed as she hopped out of bed. She really needed to set her alarm. "Why doesn't anyone ever wake me?"
"Believe me, Serena, they try," came a voice.
"Wait, what scout meeting? Huh? Who said that?" Serena asked, a little freaked out.
"Oh, honestly, Serena. Down here. I'm Luna remember?" Serena looked down to see her cat.
"Lu-Luna? You-you can talk?" Serena asked, REALLY freaked out now.
"Yes Serena, I could always talk," Serena received a strange look from Luna.
"Mom, Dad, Sammy! Luna can talk!" Serena scooped up Luna and ran to her mom and dad.
"Serena! What are you doing?!" Luna yelled at her.
"I'm showing you to my mom and dad. Wow! I have a talking cat. This is so cool!" Serena said happily, "I always thought that you could understand me." She found her mom. "Mom!"
Luna chose that moment to scratch Serena. Serena yelped and let Luna go, and ran off. She jumped out the window onto the tree and ran off.
"Yes Serena?" Ilene Tsukino asked her daughter.
"Umm.never mind, I.uhh forgot what I wanted to ask you," Serena covered up.
"Okay then sweetie," her mom said.
"I'm gonna go to the arcade, okay? Bye mom!" Serena snagged a piece of toast and ran out the door.
"That girl practically lives on the streets," Ilene muttered to herself.
* * *
Serena walked down the street, deep in thought. 'I can't believe Luna talks! Maybe I just imagined that. Yes, I imagined that,' Serena convinced herself. She looked up just as she collided into someone.
"Oof!" Serena landed on something warm and soft. She opened her eyes. It was a guy. He had ebony hair, and beautiful sapphire blues eyes. 'WOW! He's gorgeous!' She thought. He sat up, rubbing his head. She sat in his lap. Serena quickly got up.
"I am so sorry. I should have watched where I was going. Are you okay?" she said in a rush.
The guy shot her a strange look, "It's okay meatball head. Chill out."
"Okay-hey! Don't call me meatball head!" Serena yelled at him.
"Are you on the way to the arcade?" he asked.
"Yeah, how'd you know?" Serena questioned.
"Well, you always go to the arcade around this time," he shrugged.
"Do I know you?" Serena asked trying to remember if she had met him before.
"Yeah," the guy said slowly. He seemed a little confused.
"Well, I guess I'll umm.see you.uhh later," she stammered.
"Well actually, I'm heading there myself," he replied, so they walked to the arcade together.
* * *
"Where is that meatball brain? She is so gonna get it! She makes me so mad!" Rei yelled to one in particular.
"Yeah, this way late. Even for Serena," Mina put in.
"I agree. Serena is never this late, I think something might have happened to her," Amy said worriedly.
"Guys, I think that we should look for her-" Lita was cut off. "Sailor Scouts! Something is very wrong!"
"Luna!" the girls cried in unison, "What is it?"
"It's Serena. She was acting very strange this morning," Luna began. "She seemed as though she didn't know that I could talk. She tried to show me to her mom. I'm very worried that there is something wrong with our leader."
"Luna, there is always something wrong with her," Rei commented.
"Well, she's weirder that usual, then," Luna replied.
"Maybe it had to do with the monster yesterday. She lost some of her energy. Maybe that's the reason. She'll probably come to pretty soon. We should try to find her, though," said Amy, the sensible one.
"Fine, but we better not have to waste the whole day trying to find stupid meatball head!" said Rei grumpily.
"Don't worry, Rei. I bet you, I know where exactly she is," Mina said.
"And where is that?" Rei questioned.
"At the arcade, where else?" Mina replied knowingly.
"Of course," Lita said.
"Ah, yes. The arcade," Amy sighed.
* * *
"Hey Darien! Hey Serena!" Andrew called out.
'Hmm.so that's his name' Serena looked up at the guy standing beside her. 'It fits him' Serena smiled.
Darien looked down to see Serena smile at him. His stomach did a double take. 'Maybe she likes me,' Darien thought happily.
"Hi Andrew," they said at the same time. Serena giggled.
"Well, nice to see you two have met," Andrew commented. "Yeah, we bumped into each other on the street. Literally," Serena informed him.
Andrew gave her a big smile, while Darien gave them both a funny look. 'What's with the funny looks, today? Every body's been giving me them.' Serena noted to herself. She had a weird feeling, as if Darien knew a secret and wasn't gonna let her in on it. 'Oh well, I'm probably just paranoid.' She shook off the feeling, thinking that it was just nothing.
"What do you mean 'we just met'?" He inquired.
"Yeah, a little ways down on the street. You were there, REMEMBER? We ran into each other, like a couple of seconds ago! And I thought I had a short-term memory!" she told him.
"But we've known each other for years!" Darien cried.
"Uh . . ." Andrew shook his head. "Are you okay, Darien?"
"Of course I'm okay! Serena! What's wrong with you?!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME'??? YOU'RE THE ONE WHO THINKS YOU KNOW ME," Serena shot back.
"MEATBALL HEAD!" came a VERY angry voice.
"Are you talking to me?" Serena turned around. There was a girl standing behind her. She had black hair, just like Darien's, and stormy, violet eyes. Her face was a little red, Serena guessed that it was from anger.
"Duh, who else would I be talking to? The wall?" said the girl sarcastically.
"Umm.what did I do?" Serena asked, confused.
"It's what you DIDN'T do that makes me mad! You DIDN'T come to the meeting!" the girl yelled.
"What meeting? I was never told about any meeting! And who are you? I don't think you should be yelling at someone you don't even KNOW!" Serena yelled back. This girl was really getting on her nerves. "I don't know what you're yelling at me for but, you should STOP! I don't even know you're name!"
"Are you kidding me, Meatball Head? Where have you been, the moon? I'm Rei, remember? I can't believe this! Out of all the things. Trying to forget me? You are such a ditz, Sere-" a blue-haired girl cut Rei off.
"Serena, don't you remember us?" she asked.
"No, should I know you?" Serena asked. 'What are they talking about? How does she know my name?'
"Well, er.yes," the girl replied.
"Wait! Oh, Amy! You're the girl in my language class, right? Oh and you're Lita," Serena said, pointing to the tall brunette, "I remember you two," Serena thought harder to see if she could remember the other two girls.
"Remember me? Mina?" asked the blonde-haired girl.
"Mina? I don't really remember, although you remind me of Sailor V for some reason," Serena looked at every girl. Rei was looking at her with a shocked expression on her face. Serena turned to look at Darien. He was just staring at her. Andrew was the only one who didn't stare at her. Instead, he stared a Darien and the others. "Umm-I'm gonna go-I'm just gonna go," Serena ran out of the arcade.
