Disclaimer: I do NOT own Sailor Moon.
AN: Well, you could say this is my first story. So have some patience with me and give me your opinions so I can improve each chapter slowly, but surely. Let's get on with the show! Enjoy!
Oh, yeah. Here, where I live, we only got the episodes up until the ending of the Heart Crystals series. Y'know, the one where Sailor Mini Moon, Helios/Pegasus, Sailor Saturn/Hotaru, Sailor Neptune/Michelle, Sailor Uranus/Amara, and Sailor Pluto/Trista all make their appearance? Yeah, that's the one. After that, they stopped airing Sailor Moon.

Prologue to Dreams and Wishes
She looked out her window, watching the sun peak out from behind the trees as a bird began feeding her babies. "Today's the day..." She drifted off into thought about the meeting that she had with her Mother of the Moon. Ordinarily, she hadn't spoken to Queen Serenity in quite a long time and she had found out something from her that she didn't quite expect; her sister.
"Mother? Is there something wrong?" Serena had just gone to sleep when she was pulled into this dream realm. She was clad in her usual attire as a princess, her crescent moon glowing proudly. The Queen merely looked at her daughter before getting up from her thrown and walking towards the balcony, silently motioning for the Princess to follow.
The Queen clasped her hands atop the railing and looked down upon the Earth before casting her gaze towards the Sun then to her daughter. "Isn't the view just beautiful up here?" She let loose a small smile and nodded at her Mother.
Serena, being the curious girl she was, immediately went straight to the point. "Mother, is there something that you need to tell me?" She kept her gaze on her Mother's eyes before the Queen, herself, broke it.
She sighed not once, but twice before she finally gave a response. "My darling, Serena." The Princess gave her mother her full attention. "There is a part of yours and Darien's past that you did not fully retain." Seeing the puzzled look of the Princess she decided to explain a little more. "Your sister and Darien's best knight..."
"I...had a sister?" Serena didn't doubt it as something from the back of her mind nagged at her, but she focused on the woman in front of her.
The Queen smiled at her daughter, but with a hint of sadness. "Princess Abigail is your sister." Serena's eyes grew wide in surprise. "Not your biological sister. We, or should I say you, adopted her when you were at the age of five."
"B-but...how? I mean, how come I can't remember her? And what do you mean Darien's best knight?" This was something she wasn't quite expecting. And to think that nothing else would have surprised her even more.
"Sir Januron, or Jan for short," She paused as she revealed the name. "As I remember him he was Prince Darien's best friend. Who also became one of the King's best Young Knights. You, Darien, Abigail, and Jan all grew up together. Up until you turned thirteen, that is, because it was then that you met your new guardians; the Princess' of the Inner Planets." Queen Serenity knew her daughter had many more questions, but that would be soon answered once her little mission was to begin and hopefully end.
Serena repeated everything her mother had told her in her head and came to one conclusion. "Did something happen to both of them, before I met the scouts, for Darien and I to have forgotten?" Her Mother gave her a gentle smile and shook her head.
"I'm sorry, dear daughter, but you must seek out the answers for yourself." She placed a tender hand on Serena's cheek. "The only advice I can give you is to go to Canada. I've sensed both of their presence there." Before the Princess could do anything more, she was forced awake and found herself back in her room again.
That was nearly two months ago. It was now summer vacation and her groups of friends had just graduated out of high school and were on their way to Canada. Serena had told everyone about her meeting with her Mother the morning after. It was a slight shock for everyone, especially for Darien, Luna, and Artemis. Something triggered deep down inside of them.
The two months were spent studying and learning the English language. As well as preparations to move as soon as school was finished. Serena's parents took a bit of convincing, but they had eventually come to see her point of view.
"Meatball head!" Sammy appeared in front of her bedroom frame holding a half-eaten apple in one hand. He was now into his teen years and now stood almost a head taller than her. "Hehe, you're actually up." He quickly ducked as a pillow flew towards his head. "Geez, Sis, y'know I was kidding."
She stuck out her tongue at him in a childish way causing him to laugh. "I'm going to miss all this..." He stopped laughing, standing beside her by the window. "...And you're silly jokes." With quick reflexes and lightning speed she had him in a headlock and proceeded to give him a good ol' noogie. "Say it." She grinned like a maniac, though with a hint of sadness.
He struggled to break free, but was not surprised by his sister's brute power. "N-never." He managed to choke out, but that only tightened her grip more and mess up his hair in the process. Sammy couldn't stand the pressure and soon gave up due to the lack of oxygen. "U-u-ncle!" He breathed out and was immediately released. Serena sent him a cheeky grin as he began to smooth out his hair again. "They're waiting for you outside. Mom and Dad are downstairs." He turned around and began to head for the door and go downstairs.
"Sammy, wait." He stopped, turned around, and was greeted by a pair of arms encircling his waist. "I'm going to miss you." She rested her head on his chest and listened to his heart.
He smiled and hugged her back. "I'm going to miss you too, Sis." He breathed in the scented vanilla shampoo mixed into her hair for the last time, just so that he would always remember how she smelt. They released each other from the hug and Sammy brushed a hand across her cheeks to wipe away the tears. He had grown taller over the years and was almost Darien's height from four years ago.
"Just remember that I love you, Sammy, always." She smiled at him and he gladly returned it.
"Love ya too, sis." He gave her one last smile before he headed downstairs. As soon as he left, someone else entered. This person threw the pillow that Sammy had dodged earlier at her.
Serena gasped and opened her eyes to find the culprit. "Darien! Why, you!" She frowned, picked up the pillow and placed it back onto her pink bed.
He laughed and hugged her from behind. "All set?" She turned around in his arms and nodded. Serena placed a soft peck on his nose and laughed, she knew he was expecting something more than that. "Aw, that's all?" Darien pouted and she shook her head as she escaped from his spell binding arms.
Serena headed for her dresser, searching for one item that was hidden under the heaps of clothing that was previously in her drawer. "Here it is..." She pulled out the Star Locket, which she cherished most in life. She still didn't know how she managed to get her hands on such a precious item back in the Silver Millennium. "Okay, I'm ready now."
"Erm, Sere, I think I just stepped on something wet." They both looked down at his sock and then at the carpet.
Serena giggled. Sammy must've dropped the apple when she head locked him. "Oh, brother." She laughed her boyfriend's puzzled expression.
He's so cute when he's confused.
She picked up the apple and threw it in the garbage can nearby. "Oh, c'mon, it'll dry."
He shrugged as they headed downstairs, her parents waiting for her at the bottom. His right sock squishing as he slipped his shoes back on.
"My baby is off to see the world." Her Mom smiled and engulfed her into a hug as soon as she had reached the bottom of the staircase.
HONK. HONK.
"Hurry up, Sere!" Raye, the fiery one of the group, shouted from outside in one of the rented cars. Jadeite, her boyfriend, was the goofy and somewhat dimwitted guy of the group, sat next to her. Together they were a sight to be seen. All the people inside the house just laughed.
"Just be sure to protect my little girl, Darien." Ken Tsukino still thought of Serena as the little girl she once was. Darien nodded his head in confirmation at his request. It had taken awhile for Serena's Dad to finally accept him. "Good bye, Serena." Both Father and daughter gave each other one last hug as they began to move their way outside.
"I'll always be your little girl, Daddy." She whispered in his ear before breaking the hug. She caught the tear in his eyes before he blinked it back as if it wasn't there to begin with.
Sammy was just placing the last piece of luggage into the car before they came out.
"Thanks, Sammy, you were a great help." Darien patted Sammy on the back and got into the driver seat. Everyone except the four of them was already in Canada. They agreed that a few of them would go on ahead before the rest would follow.
Serena looked at her house one last time before turning back to Sammy. "Take care of Mom and Dad for me, will you?" He gave a slight nod before breaking into a grin.
"You'll always be my hero, Sis, even if you never did become Sailor Moon." Serena smiled back and gave him a quick hug before hopping into the convertible. Sammy had found out about her alter-ego three years ago, a year after she had become Sailor Moon. It was destined for him to find out someday.
They were in the parking lot of the airport as they spotted Raye and Jadeite already taking their luggage inside. Serena felt calm, not at all like the nervous wreck she was the night before. Darien squeezed her hand, indicating that they needed to unload the stuff. "Everything will be alright, Sere."
She nodded, but hesitated a little. "I hope Abby hasn't forgotten about me either." She got out of the car and headed for the trunk. "As well as Hans."
Darien hoisted the luggages onto the carts with ease; they had a lot of stuff with them. "They probably did. Queen Serenity sent them into the future as well, so most likely they didn't recover their memories yet." Serena shook her head and laughed lightly. "What?" He stared at her with puzzled eyes.
"You always have to be so logical, don't you?" He grinned sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head. Beep. Beep. Serena pulled out her communicator and Raye appeared on the screen, ticked.
"Yeah, Raye?" Serena noted the glare she was receiving.
"How long does it take to bring your stuff in?" Her face showed impatience, Jadeite was in the background trying to calm her down.
"Raye, hon, take a chill pill!" This, in turn, caused her to glare at him and he immediately backed off.
"Well!" She huffed back at the screen.
Serena sighed. "We'll be there in a minute." Not waiting for an answer she closed the communicator. She knew that she had just made a big mistake in doing that. Raye was going to bite her head off. "C'mon, our plane is going to be here in an hour." Taking one of the carts, she pushed her way through the crowd, Darien in tow. In less than an hour, she was going to be heading to her new home.
AN: Like it? Hate it? Okay? Tell me so I can make a couple of changes in the next chapter. Hm...If something seemed confusing, tell me, I'll probably clear it up in my next post. I kind of rushed this since I wanted to get it up before I turned off the computer.
