Moonlight
Romance
Part 1
Loves told Loves
lost!

My name is Tsukino Serena Usagi. I am 17 and also known as
Sailor Moon
champion of love and justice. Cool Huh? well in two weeks is
Travis's and my
18 birthday, (Travis is my twin brother) we were adopted when
we were three
months old, well actually he was adopted 3 days before I was,
and well we
found each other before we were 15. Anyway that 's not
important, now we are
going to be 18 and my dad, (the real over-protective parent)
says that the
day after my birthday we are moving 3 hours away from Tokyo.
So I can't be
with Darien. He even says I can't stay in town until then,
Travis and I are
going to stay with Uncle Jake until then.

"Dad I am not leaving Tokyo just because you don't want me
to be with
Darien!!!" Serena yelled at her father as she closed her
Diary.

"You will do as I say. Now go to your room and get packed you
are leaving in
the morning." Mr. Tsukino yelled back a little surprised that
his daughter
would talk back to him.

Serena looked like she was about to cry. " I am not leaving
Darien. I love
him!!" Her words knocked her father backwards as he watched
his Daughter run
from the house.

Serena ran faster and faster down the main street of Tokyo.
Tears were
running down her face so she could not see were she was going
and bumped
into people just as she had done in middle school. Suddenly
she ran head
on into someone running the opposite way. SLAM!!!! " Sorry.
I'm so sorry I
wasn't watching were I was going. I'm sorry....." Serena
babbled and sobbed
quietly in the middle of the sidewalk not getting up and not
even looking at
the person she had hit so rudely.

"Serena?! SERENA what is wrong? why are you crying? Serena?!?
Please look at
me!!" Darien looked really worried normally Serena would be
walling her head
off after a fall like that but she was only sobbing silently
on the ground,
seeming not to have even noticed that the person she had
bumped into was her
boyfriend. Serena having not even noticed this gave Darien
even more reason
to worry.

"Darien?!? Darien!!!" Serena slammed into him again and
started to cry,
refusing to even let him breath. " Darien....Oh Darien!!!"

"Serena please tell me what is wrong.... And let me
breathe.... but really
what is wrong you act as if this is going to be the last time
you see me?...
hah? Serena?!?" Darien was taken back as Serena just started
to cry even
harder.

"It will be!!!!!!" Serena and Darien went and sat down on a
bench in a near
by park were they could talk. As Serena started to tell him
about her dad
and how he was sending her to the mountains and about her
birthday and her
going away, Forever, Serena just got more upset over leaving
him, her
brother, and her friends.

Darien was still a little confused. " wh.. why?" was all he
could say. He
could practically guess why her father would do something like
that and he
was not looking forward to her answer.

" My dad..... My dad does not want..... Does not want me ....
me to be....
to be with ..... with..." Serena just could not say the last
word.

Darien knew full well what that last word would be but felt
that Serena
should get it out of her system. " With who Serena?"

Not wanting to say it but knew that if Darien wanted her to
say it she
probably should. " With you Darien. My dad does not want me to
be with
you..... Wwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!" Serena just could not help it she
screamed out her
old cry that she was hurt and hurt deeply.

"Serena lower the decibels and calm down. Nothing can separate
us that
easily. Don't worry we have proven that before. Now I will
think of
something! Okay? Stop crying." Darien said trying to reassure
her, even
though he had no idea how he was going to pull it off and keep
them
together, as Serena nodded, "Meanwhile let's enjoy this moment
together!"
Darien bent Serena's head back and kissed her. both savoring
this moment as
if it were going to be there last, and if they were not
careful it would be.

Suddenly behind them came a shout. thinking it was Chaos they
turned around
quickly " Get your hands off her you creep!" Mr. Tsukino came
running up
waving his fist at Darien. Darien shoved Serena behind him in
order to keep
her from getting hurt by her overly protective father and his
rage. This of
course made Mr. Tsukino very angry. " I said get your hands off
her!!!"
Darien just held Serena even closer, keeping her a little
further away from
her father. Suddenly, just as Mr. Tsukino was about to grab at
Serena,
screams could be heard from behind Serena and Darien. Darien
and Serena,
Darien not forgetting about Mr. Tsukino turned around only to
see a youma.
It was hideous, made of pure ice and fog.

"Serena we have to go. Call th...." Darien never got to
Finnish as an
enraged and very frightened Mr. Tsukino stopped him.

"You are not going any were with her young man. Now lets go
Serena!" Mr.
Tsukino just seemed to be getting madder by the minute. "Now!
Serena!!"

"No!!! Darien try and distract that youma, wile I call the
Scouts." Serena
yelled at her father, as she spook calmly to Darien. The only
problem with
this was that Mr. Tsukino didn't take no for an answer.

"Now young lady or you are grounded...... what did you say?
Sailor
Scouts!!!!" Mr. Tsukino said surprised, then became very mad
very quickly.
"I said now and I don't care what you say you are going
now!!!!"

Serena look at Darien as if to tell him to do something and
Darien
understood perfectly. He grabbed Serena around the waist, "
now Darien!!"

"Anything my princes!!" And jumped away from Mr. Tsukino,
using his
abilities as tuxedo mask in his human form. Mr. Tsukino only
looked on in
surprise at what he had seen and heard. Also wondering why his
daughter
refused to listen to him and making it quite clear that she
was not going to
leave that boy without a fight.

"Oh Serena you are just like your mother when she was your
age... very, very
stubborn!!" Mr. Tsukino said with a sigh as he left the park
thinking that
his daughter would return home latter and then she would get
it. " I wonder
what 'my Princess' means?"

* * *

"Moon Eternal Power" Serena yelled as she turned in to
Eternal Sailor Moon.
Darien took out a red rose and transformed in to tuxedo
mask. Protector of
the moon princess and prince of earth. "Mars, Mercury,
Jupiter, Venus, come
in. chaos has stroke again. I need help! we are on 34th and
main. We also
have an overprotective parent on the lose."

"What are you talking about now meet ball head?" The loud
voice of Rei the
sailor of Mars called over the communicator.

Tuxedo mask opened his black and gold lined communicator and
answered for
her "Her dad is literary of the bat and is after Serena and
me."

"What?!?" yelled Mina the sailor of Venus.

"What was that about of the bat?" Lita the sailor of Jupiter
asked.

" Why is he like that? I am sure that there is a logical
explanation to all
this!?!" Ami (the smart one) the sailor of Mercury started.

" Oh heck you heard him, now just get over here so we can
waste that monster
and then we can talk about my dad and his crazed ways. Now
lets go!!!"
Sailor Moon slimed her communicator shut as she jumped down
the side of the
building. Sailor Moon landed on the side walk were Mr. Tsukino
had been
standing. Tuxedo Mask landed beside her. "I am the pretty
Sailor Suited
Solder Sailor Moon. And in behalf of the moon I'll punish
you."

As Moon finished her speech the monster had already started to
attack and it
took a few of Mask's roses to fight it until Moon was
finished. "Don't you
get it that speeches only give them more time to attack. Now
let's get this
over with." Sailor Sol told his very annoyed sister. "Let's hit
him with a
combined Attack. Okay?"

"Right. Moon Pink Beam......."

"Sun Rays Celestial............."

Then at the same time, "Light KISS!!!!!" the monster gathered
the energy
they had given to him and sent it back to them in spades. Sol
barely missed
being hit. Moon was not so lucky she took the energy head on.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!" Sailor moon screened as the energy engulfed
her as she
fell to the ground in pain. Tuxedo Mask cradled moon in his
arms trying to
wake her out of unconsciousness. Just as Sailor Moon was coming
out of it the
scouts arrived.

Mars, after seeing how hurt moon was, was thrown into a
friary fury. " Mars
red fire HEAT!!" The youma who was not ready for an attack was
weekend.

"Jupiter electric SHOCK!!!!!" Jupiter yelled as bursts of
electricity flung
from her hands. Only this time the youma was ready for the
attack and used
his cold winds to send the attack back at Jupiter. Jupiter
seeing the way
thins were going jumped out of the way.

"Okay listen up this thing needs full physical attacks to
weaken it."
Mercury said, "Sailor Sol it looks like it is up to you and
maybe Venus to
do the job. Sol you go first."

"Okay!" Sailor Sol replied, "Your going to pay for hurting
her. Solar Sun
Sword SLASH!!!!" the sword went deep onto the youma, but it
wasn't destroyed
it was hardly even weakened. "Wow I used a full physical
attack.

"Now Sailor Moon, " Venus yelled

"Okay. Moon Tiara Magic!!!" the discus whet slicing into the
youma's arm she
then pulled out her moon beam crescent wand, "Moon Therapy
Kiss." Thousands
of tiny moon beams gathered at the top of her wand as she
world it around
her head. As the energy became level with the youma the energy
was released.
The youma, who wasn't prepared for that double attack, was
disintegrated on
the spot. Sailor Moon, from utter exhaustion collapsed. The
only thing
keeping her from reaching the ground was Tuxedo Mask. And
because of this
exhaustion Sailor Moon de-transformed into Serena. A faint line
of a crescent
moon grazed her forehead, to faint to be seen.

"Serena, Serena are you okay?" as Serena opened her eyes she
saw the
concerned face of her beloved Darien above her.

"Oh... Darien.... What happen? The last thing I remember is
using my moon
beam wand and everything going black!" Serena looked at the
others and
at the sweet smile of Darien had on his face as he held her
close to him.

"You blanked out meet-ball head." Rei said in her usual
manner. Not wanting
to let it be known that she was concerned about her leader.

"Yes, Serena you gave us quite a scare. you used too much
energy and being
that hurt you ended up using all of your energy." Ami
explained. She had a
way of explaining every situation they were in.

"So meet-ball head what was that about an over protective
parent on the
loose?" Rei asked very interested in what had made Serena
sound and look so
upset over the communicator.

"Well it's like this..." Serena took to telling what had
happened. Switching
on and off between Darien and her when she thought she
couldn't go on with
out crying. When they were finally finished, Serena added with
tears in her
eyes. "Darien said he was going to think of some thing to keep
me hear but I
don't know how he is going to do it!!!" Serena sobbed when she
was finished.

"Oh I think I know what I am going to do!!....But I am not
going to tell
you, Serena. That is going to be your birthday surprise.
Okay?" Darien told
her before she could ask what he had planned so they could
stay together.
"You should go home before you get into to much trouble
Serena. I love you
Serena" and with that he gave her a kiss and watched as Serena
ran down the
street towards her house, stumbling because of her weakened
state.

"Darien what 'are' you going to do to keep Serena here?" Lita
asked a little
worried. Not only because her friend would be leaving but also
how were they
going to defeat the youma's without her.

"Like I said, you will have to wait until her birthday. But
now we have to
think about how we are going to fight without Serena and
Travis." Darien
smiling at the faces of the Scouts then frowning at his last
words.

"Why wry." Artemis' voice came up from behind them. " As long
as they have
their transformation lockets and swords they can teleport
back."

"Well that's solved now Travis, you and I need to talk to
your uncle and
plan the party. You girls and I will have to do the rest.
Okay? " the girls
nodded and Travis and Darien turned to leave, "Let's go and
talk to your
uncle." They started heading towards Travis' house.

"Well lets hope that this plan works out." Lita said as she
turned to leave.

"Ya." Mina added in a soft depressed voice. "Hay does anyone
won't to go
shopping?"

"Ya let's go it will be fun!" Rei said as she tried to lighten
the air. "I
think it would do us all some good!! You coming Ami?" Rei
asked the blue
headed girl.

"Ya." Ami sighed, "I think that it would do us good. "Ami
agreed as they
walked away. "I'll call Serena later and see how it whet with
her father!"

* * *

"Darien ? how do you plan on keeping my sister hear?" Travis
asked truly
bewildered at what his sister's boy friend and his half
brother had in mind.

"I plan on keeping her hear with this." Darien held up a small
object and
smiled At Travis' expression. "Do you think it will work? Will
Serena
actually go through with it, too?" Darien asked not really
expecting an
answer.

"It will work, and Serena would rather die than not go through
with it, you
dolt. She loves you." Travis finished as they walked up the
hill to his
house. Darien smiling all the way. "now lets go tell my uncle
so we can
make this a real surprise party!"

* * *

Serena just keeper running until she got to the door of her
house. As she
opened it she knew that her father would not let her into her
room without a
screaming mach. Serena tip toed into the living room and up
the stairs to
her room. Serena closed the door behind her and breathed out a
sigh of
relief. "Luna? Luna were are you!" Serena whispered.

"Over hear Serena.....Packing some of your things." A black
cat answered
back. "You know we really need to work on your organization
skills. you are
going to be queen someday you kno..... Serena come hear!!"
Luna's expression
had changed from that of a friend who was being a pest to that
of utter
horror. "Serena your crescent moon!!"

"Ya, what about it?" Serena asked really confused. She was
even more
confused when Luna went to grab her bed side mirror. "What?
Luna what are you
doing?"

"Serena look in the mirror."

As Serena did this she added horror to her confused
expression. "Luna how
could this happen? Will my parents and Sammy see this? AND
What does this
mean?" Serena asked in bewildered wonder.

"Serena, I don't know how this could happen and I don't think
anyone other
than the sailor senshi and Darien will be able to see it for
now! who knows
if it could be visible by the time you turn 18. And Serena, I
think this
means that you are turning into the princess. That means if
this is
happening to you then who knows what is happening to Travis
and Darien?"
Luna finished and looked into Serena's eyes. Serena looked
like she was
about to faint. And she would have if it were not for suddenly
a noise from
downstairs shook her out of the trance.

"SERENA?!? Are you up there? SERENA!! Get down here right
now!!!!!" Mr.
Tsukino yelled.

"Oh well I knew this would happen sooner or latter. Luna make
sure you pack
some things for you, there is no way I am leaving you here!!!"
Serena told
Luna as she headed out the door to go downstairs and face her
father. On her
way down she tried to strengthen herself *come on Serena
you've faced Queen
Beryl, Ann and Allen, The Wise man, Mistress 9, Galaxia, and
Chaos, -well
sort of- you can face your father too.* She went down and sat
on the couch
waiting for her father.

"Young lady I will not go into your actions today concerning
how you spoke
to me but I will get into why, after I told you not to see
that boy again
and why you went and disobeyed me. Well why? Why were you with
that man? WHY
SERENA?!?" Mr. Tsukino was, when he was finished, was
screaming at Serena.
Serena on the other hand listen to her enraged father.

Serena wanted to cry, she felt she should cry, but when she
started to feel
the tears in her eyes she wiped them away. Remembering that
she was a
princess and if she couldn't get through this without crying
what type of a
queen would she be. Serena regained her composure and stood
up. If Mr.
Tsukino was not a mad as he was he would have noticed that
Serena had a
regal air to her.

Luna who had been watching from the stairs, gasped as she
looked at her
princess. Serena looked just like her mother Queen Serenity,
and spoke to
her father it was in a voice befitting the queen she was going
to be.
"Father I was with Darien because I love him and there is
nothing you or
anyone for that matter can do about it. Many have tried to
separate us and
all have failed. You can send me away for months, weeks, and
even year.
Darien will wait and so will I. There is nothing more
that can be said
on this matter. I have packing to do for my next two weeks and
then we can
discuss this matter!!" Serena lifted her head like the royalty
she was and
walked up the steps, only stopping to pick up Luna and even
then she did not
lose her royal appearance. Serena walked out of Mr. Tsukino's
view and
closed the door behind her.

"I wonder what she meant when she said 'many have tried'? Oh
well at least
she is going to go with Jake and Travis for the next two
weeks!!" Mr.
Tsukino said, he seemed to be confused at his daughters
behavior. For a few
minuets that Serena had been talking to him, he thought he was
looking at
some princess.

Back in Serena's room.

"Serena! I.....you... you looked just like your mother Queen
Serenity!!!"
Luna told a now tearful Serena.

"Really Luna? I still can't believe that I just did that. I
actuary did
something without crying and I did it as if I were the
Princess again, and
on top of that I even looked like my mother!!!" Serena said.
She was exited
that she had done something right and did it royally but she
was also afraid
of what this might mean. "Do you really think that I am
turning into the
Princess Luna?"

"I do indeed Serena, and you are becoming Serenity again then
the others
should know." Luna said musingly.

"Luna how are we going to do that? I can't call a meeting, dad
won't let me
out of the house." Serena said. Then it suddenly downed on her
that she
could.... "Oh ya. I can use the communicator can't I?" It
wasn't really a
question but Luna answered.

"Yes Serena but lets wait until your done packing okay then
you can call
them!" Luna said and her happy expression that was given
when she saw
Serena look like her mother and the princess she was, quickly
diminished as
she saw how sad Serena was that she was leaving her friends
and her
boyfriend. " Look on the bright side you will be able to talk
to Darien.!."

"Ya I guess your right. well Lets finish packing. "Serena said
as she and
Luna finished packing.

* * *

Meanwhile at Travis' house. Darien and Travis had finished
explaining what
Darien planned on doing. "So you see Uncle Jake. Serena and
Darien really
love each other and as you know Mr. Tsukino is moving his
daughter just to
keep her from marring him. So is it okay what we are
planning?" Travis asked
hopefully.

"Well.......... Yes Travis it is. I really don't think Serena
would decline
but even if she did it would be okay!!" Uncle Jake replied.

"Thank-you Mr. Johnson." Suddenly Darien' and Travis'
watches beeped
furiously. Travis said that Darien needed him to help with
something and
that if they thought of anything else for the party they would
tell him.
"Serena? What is it? Is it another attack? Serena??..... Is
that your
crescent moon?!?" Darien asked really worried about why she
would have her
crescent moon birth mark.

"You two aren't in any better shape. Look in the mirror you
are showing
sings of changing and Travis has a hint of his kingdoms mark,
too!!" As
Serena finished the two boys looked in the mirror. "You are
becoming the
princes' and I am becoming the princess!!! Luna says by the
time we turn 18
we will all become the prince or princess of our own
respective kingdoms and
planets!!! Do you hear that Scouts?" Serena asked.

"Yes Serena we did, but what do you mean when you said that
we would change
too?" Rei asked.

"What I mean is, Do you remember that when we were the
princesses that you,
and Lita, had red and green hair to mach your elements. Same
with Ami and
Mina, But as far as I can remember you had the same hair color
as you do
now." Serena finished and looked at the images of the Scouts
on her
communicator. They looked at her as her crescent moon
flickered and got
more visible. " Oh my gosh. Rei, Mina, Lita, Ami, you all
have hints of it
in your hair!!" Each of the scouts looked in a mirror. Lita's
hair had hints
of a dark forest green. Ami had hints of the darkest sea blue.
Mina had
hints of the brightest gold. Rei had hints of the deepest
crimson of a
volcano. "Darien what are we going to do. If we 'are' turning
into our
royal selves then we are going to be in our royal attire and
the scouts will
be in their uniforms....... So Darien and Travis you need to
talk to uncle
Jake. Maybe we could have it that we are putting on a skit to
entertain.
Then if we are in our uniforms and royal attire then we don't
have a
problem. Darien, you and the Scouts need to talk to Uncle Jake
and plan it
before we leave. Travis and I can work out the details with
him on the trip.
We can still talk on the communicator and as has pointed out
to me Travis
and I Can teleport hear if we have trouble. Okay?"
"Yes that will be fine Serena. Girls would you let me talk to
Serena?"
Darien asked the girls. They nodded and one by one their
images disappeared.
Through Darien's communicator, Serena could see Travis leave
the room.
"Serena My plan to keep you hear all relies on you!!"

"But.. What is your plan?" Serena asked wanting to know what
her love had in
mind.

"That is a secret my love, but I will come and visit you on
your trip! You
just call me on the communicator and tell me were you are and
I will come to
you at sunset. Okay?" Serena nodded with a smile. She was
overly pleased and
her crescent moon said it even better. As for a small moment
it became just
as bright and as visible as it had when she was the princess.
then it went
back to a soft glow as it became less visible. "Bye for now my
love!!"
Darien was just about to close his communicator when Serena
stopped him.

"Wait!! I want to tell you something!!!" Serena said as she
started to
explain about her 'talk' to her father and how Luna had said
she looked like
her mother. Darien was very pleased with her and was about to
say so when a
cry from down stairs of the Tsukino house stopped him.

"Serena you had better not be on the phone. I am coming up
there and it had
better not be the phone." Mr. Tsukino yelled as he began
climbing the
stairs.

"Ohhh....... Bye Darien...... Good bye my love!!" Serena said
as she closed
her communicator. Slowly enough to hear him say good bye.

Mr. Tsukino stormed into her room. "Oh good. now young lady
you are going in
the morning. Now go to sleep. NOW!!!"

Serena went and got ready for bed in her bunny printed
pajamas. "Good night
Luna. I sure hope Darien's Plan works, what ever it is!!"
Serena finished as
she pulled balk the covers. "Have we packed every thing we
will need?"

"Yes Serena, we have. We have all the clothes you will need
for the
mountains, your swim suit, and your bracelets and berets. We
also have my
cat basket!!" Luna told a now exhausted Serena. Two big fights
with her dad.
One fight with a mother, a crying jab and worrying about her
boyfriend,
added up to one tired girl.

"Good. Let's go to sleep Luna. I am exhausted.!!" Serena said as
she closed
her eyes and went to sleep. She dreamed about what the plan
might be and
what being the princess again might be like.

Luna closed her eyes to dream of the days to come and her
princess.
