Author's Notes:

Prince Diamond and the Wiseman... and Fiore)

Chapter One
PROLOGUE
Luna rolled her eyes.
Serena was still sleeping?
She was supposed to be at the temple in five minutes!
Letting out an exasparated sigh, the black cat slipped into the room through the
gap at the slightly opened door.
Her fur wrinkled in surprise when she saw that Serena was sitting on the bed,
staring at the floor with a sad look in her eyes.
"Serena, what's wrong?" the black guardian cat asked.
"Luna?" Serena said, surprised, "I... I didn't hear you come in."
Luna jumped on to the bed and sat beside the moon princess, "Well...?"
She waited while Serena fell back on to the bed.
She sighed, "Luna, I'm so confused."
"About biology?"
"No, Luna," Serena said, frowning, "Well, here goes... Lately, I've been thinking
about my relationship with Darien..."
It was Luna's turn to sigh, "Serena, what now? Things are supposed to be
perfect."
"I thought so too... But... It... It just doesn't feel right anymore."
Luna was shocked.
"You mean..." the cat began, "You're having doubts about..."
She stared at Serena, who began to nod slowly.
"Oh my," Luna said.
"I'm sorry, Luna," Serena said, "But I don't see Darien the same way
anymore. There's been so many horrible things happening between us..."
Luna frowned, "You're certainty right about that... But..."
"I don't know," Serena said, "Maybe... Maybe we need a break."
"A break?" Luna demanded, then curled up thoughtfully on the bed, "We'll
have to figure something out, Serena..."
CHAPTER ONE
"Darien," Serena said, a bit hesistantly, "I need to talk to you about
something."
"Huh? Just tell me over the phone," her boyfriend replied.
"I'd... really like to tell you in person."
"All right... see you at the park in ten minutes?"
* * *
Darien Shields smiled as he jogged down the street. He was sure that Serena
had used the "serious-talk" excuse to see him.
Well, he wanted to see her too. After all, they'd never been out on a real
date, unless the time they went rowing in the lake counted. They were
interrupted by Rini dropping out of the sky though.
He arrived at the park to find Serena sitting on a bench, looking down at
the ground.
"Serena," he called to her, grinning.
"Hi Darien," she said quietly.
He didn't seem to notice her strange silence, "So, what'd you ask me out
here for?"
She cleared her throat, "-hem... Darien... I..."
She stopped.
"You what?" Darien asked playfully.
"I... I don't think we should start anything right now."
He stopped for a moment to understand what she meant, "Start...?"
"Our relationship."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, maybe we shouldn't start seeing each other... right now."
Darien stared at her. Was she breaking up with him?
"What are you talking about, Serena?" he said, "Why not?"
"I don't know, Darien," Serena said, closing her eyes, "It's just... I don't
find myself really... into you, anymore..."
"Oh."
Darien turned away slightly.
"Is it something I did?" he whispered hesitantly.
Serena shook her head.
"So... you just don't like me?" he said, biting his lower lip.
"No... You're great, Darien," Serena said, "Really..."
"Then why... What about Rini?"
"I don't know..."
"Serena, I... I don't understand... What's wrong...?"
She shook her head again, "Darien, it's just that... we've gone through too
many things, for... for 'us' to exist anymore."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, we hated each other to begin with, then you turned evil and tried to
kill me a couple of times. And then you lost your memory..."
He was silent.
"Darien," she spoke up again, "It's not going to have an effect on you
anyway. I mean, we never were together. Let's go back to the way things
were before, before I knew you're Tuxedo Mask and you knew I'm Sailor Moon."
"But..." Darien started, "The future... We can't let-"
"I know, Darien..." Serena said, "I guess I'll have to deal with it
somehow..."
There was another minute of silence between them.
"I guess I never really stopped to think about it," Darien spoke up with a
pained laugh, "These couple of days... I just thought things would start
working out between us."
"Me too... a long time ago."
He put his hand on top of hers, "Serena..."
"Darien, please," she said, pulling away gently, "I..."
"Serena..." he murmured, "This isn't what I want..."
She didn't say anything.
"I want..."
He shook his head silently.
He couldn't tell her what he wanted.
"Darien, I've got to go," Serena whispered, "I'm sorry."
Then she stood up and began to walk off.
He wanted to follow her, to ask her to come back to him. But something told
him that he should give her time.
"I... I'll wait for you!" he shouted after her.
He stared after her until she turned a corner.
Then he frowned, still disbelieving.
It began to rain, and he was soaked by the time he had made his way back to
the apartment.
Thought I'd write a somewhat sad 'fic.
Takes place right after the end of the R season, also after the R movie. (After
Prince Diamond and the Wiseman... and Fiore)
