AN: I've posted this before but now I've edited it, proofread as much as I could AND I'm working on part II :)! So Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or any of its characters but I do own, Hunter, Orion, and any other character that I made up in this story. Now that that's all settled... on with my story :)


Chapter One

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Serena woke up with a start as she heard her alarm.

"What?" she mumbles as she clumsily finds the snooze button on her alarm clock.

It read 8:30 AM.

"Aaaahh! I'm going to be so late!" Serena shrieked and frantically got dressed.

She speedily dressed into her blue school uniform resembling a sailor outfit. Quickly she expertly twisted her long blonde hair up in two buns and ran out the door.

Her poor black cat, Luna, is stuck under Serena's pajamas and blankets recovering from shock.

"Bye, mom!" Serena calls with a piece of toast stuffed in her mouth.

"Bye, dear," her mother called out, shaking her head with a smile.

"Hey, meatball head, need a ride?" a red mustang approached the blonde huffing for breath.

"Darien!" she squealed and kissed the tall man grinning in the driver's seat through the open window and hopped in the front seat.

She was happily babbling on about how happy she was to see him and he watched her with a love and adoration a man would give only to his soul mate.

The girls at the high school sighed dreamily at the appearance of the red mustang and of Darien, wondering what a cute college guy like Darien would see in a girl like ditzy Serena. Physically they contrasted as well. Serena was short with long pale blonde hair reaching to her knees and olive skin, and had twinkling, friendly sapphire blue eyes. Darien, on the other hand, was the spitting image of the phrase "tall, dark, and handsome". He had silky black hair and intense stormy blue eyes. Yet they cared deeply for each other despite their opposite personalities and looks.

"Thanks, Darien," she gave him her beautiful smile that she reserved just for him.

Darien melted inside with that smile and just wanted to take off with her and spend the day at his apartment, just the two of them. He knew better than that, if her father found out he'd die slowly and painfully.

He smiled back and leaned forward and kissed her.

"Serena, come on, you're not going to make it if you make out with your boyfriend!" Molly yelled as she ran passed her.

Serena looked toward the school disdainfully but then heard the late bell ring.

"Aaaahh!" she shrieked, practically shattering Darien's ear drums, "I don't want to get detention again!"

She sprinted toward her class. Darien chuckled and drove to his first class at the university.

"Serena, you're late again!" her English teacher, Miss Haruna (Miss H) scolded, "You owe me one hour detention today after school."

"Oh no, not again," Serena groaned.

Molly smiled at her sympathetically for she barely made it before the bell as well.

At lunch Serena was hastily eating everything she brought.

"Man, I'm starved!" Serena grinned with food still in her mouth.

"Oh Serena, wait till you finish eating at least," Molly groaned as she saw food sprayed everywhere.

Molly was a pretty red head. She had once had her hair shoulder-length with a bow on the back but since 14 she grew it out. Now it reached down to her back with soft wavy curls. She was also the sweetest, most loyal friend Serena had at school.

"It's not fair that I got to be stuck at school while my other friends are off having fun," Serena whined.

Lita had quit school to pursue her dream to be a chef and enrolled at a cooking school. She was the top of her class and was rumored to have one of the most prestigious restaurants in Tokyo calling for her expertise as soon as she graduated the school. Raye had decided to focus more on religion and philosophy and transferred to a special training school for priestesses. Mina was in America pursuing her acting dream, starring in a big time movie. Amy graduated high school the year before and now that sailor senshi business was over, she transferred to Germany as a pre-med student.

"Oh come on, Serena, being an ordinary high school teenager is not so bad," Molly scoffed.

"Sure, it's nice except you have to go to school and wake up early," Serena griped.

After school and after her detention Serena groaned at her very bad score from her last math test.

"I'm going to be stuck in school forever," Serena moaned.

"Why so glum, Serena?" Lita asked when she saw Serena walking into her apartment moping.

"Another bad test score," Serena mumbled and stuffed the paper into her bag.

"Here, try my new brownie recipe," Lita suggested.

And as Lita had hoped, Serena brightened almost instantly at the offer.

"Where are they?" Serena asked looking around the room, "I'm starved!"

Lita rolled her eyes smiling, "So what else is new?"

After finishing off Lita's very delicious brownies, Serena trudged home, hoping her mother forgot about the math test.

"How did you do on your math test, Serena?" her mother asked as soon as she stepped into the house.

Serena groaned, "She was supposed to forget."

"Umm.. here," Serena nervously gave her paper to her mother, "Wow, look at the time, I'd love to stick around but gotta go over to Raye's to uhh.. study. Yea, study."

Serena hurriedly walked toward the front door, her only means of escape.

"Come on, almost home free," Serena thought to herself happily.

"Serena?" her mother called softly in a way you knew she was angry but holding it, "Where do you think you're going?"

"I'm going to study at Raye's?" Serena giggled cautiously.

"GET YOUR BUTT UPSTAIRS AND STUDY (deep breath) NOW!" her mother yelled.

"Mom!" Serena looked shocked then horrified, "I don't wanna!"

"On the count of three, buttercup," her mother warned, "One...Two!"

"Ok, ok, I'm going," Serena mumbled and stomped up to her room.

She really didn't want to study especially math but she guessed trying for once wouldn't kill her.

"Serena? You're home early," Luna looked up from her spot by the windowsill.

"Bath mad score, gotta study," she mumbled.

Luna rolled her eyes and thought silently, "Yea, sure you are."

Eventually after an hour of staring absently at her textbook, Serena gave up.

She closed the book and went downstairs to get a snack.

"Serena, are you done studying?" her mother asked sweetly.

"Yea, I studied as best I could," Serena smiled and added silently, "but it wasn't much."

"Good, because your friend, Lita, called and said to meet at Raye's. It's important," her mother said.

"When?" Serena asked curiously.

"At seven," her mother said absently then her eyes went wide, "Oh dear that's in 10 minutes you better hurry."

"Oh mom, now I'm going to be late," Serena wailed and ran out the door.

"Why didn't Luna tell me?" Serena wondered, "Maybe she thought Mom was going to tell me."

"Oh Raye's so going to annoy me over this," Serena groaned.

A tall light haired man watched her, amused.

"It is almost time," he thought and disappeared into the twilight.
